SULzER And SCOTT
At DAGGERS DRAWN
Superintendent of Prisons
Will Face Charges

Albany, N. Y March Gov. VIII
liam Sulzer, who since his inaugura ,
ton has had differences with Col. Jo-
seph F. Scott, superintendent of state
prisons, has demanded that Scott
resign. The latter refused and as a
result will have to face charges which
will be brought against him. Unde~
the constitution the superintendent
may be removed by the governor upon
charges after an opportunity has been
given him to be heard.
The friction between the governor
and Col. Scott arose, it is said, when
Scott refused to appoint Charles +.
Rattigan, member of the democratic
state committee, as warden of Au-
burn prison. Then came the Thaw
bribery scandal, which included
charges against the prison department
and in which Gov. Suffers name WIS
mentioned without his authority the
governor said.
Col. Scott, who is we'll known
throughout the country, as a prison
official, was appointed to his present
position by Gov. Dix. His term Of
office expires on April IL next.

POLICE OFFICIALS PLAY
BOTH ENDS GRAFT GAME
Whitman Finds They Backed
Some Places

New York, March 12.-The grand
jury and District Attorney Whitman
spent today listening to the confessions
of men and women that they paid
money to police in return for immuni-
ty from interference while they violat-
ed the law. A hotel owner and several
women who ran disorderly resorts
told how they contributed to the COT
fers of the system" Much of their
testimony corroborated stories already
told. involving police officers and poll
ticians. The rest of it brought under
suspicion men not hitherto suspected
and must in turn be corroborated in
Mr.. Whitmans efforts to bring the
guilty under indictment.
One visible result of confession to.
day was the demotion of another DO
lice inspector, one of !. dozen or moro
high police officials whom witness IS
have accused of taking graft. Com
missioner Waldo, after reducing In
spector John ]. Murtha to the rank OF
captain transferred him and suspend
ed him without pay. Murtha formerly
was in charge of the precincts in Har-
lem, the district that figured most
prominently in the graft disclosures
made thus far.
One of the remarkable witnesses ex-
amined by Mr.. Whitman was Mary Sta
com, who confessed today, at the age
of "A years, that fifty years of her life
have been spent as the keeper of dis
orderly resorts. Known through the
underworld as Mother" Stacom, this
woman pieced together the experiences
of her life with facts that are ex-
pected to serve Mr.. Whitman inval-
uably.
Another startling story has reached
the prosecutor in the form of written
report " one of his Investigators. Il
told how woman, Annie Grey, was re-
puted to have accumulated fortune OF
more than 100000 as disorderly re,
sort keeper. Backed by a former She
riff and one-time police commissioner,
according to information available to
the prosecutor, Annie Grey conducted
several of the most noted resorts Of
their type in this city. She will go be-
fore the grand jury with an account
of her underworld experiences, ac-
cording to Mr.. Whitman's expectations
Samuel Levy, hotel man, went be-
fore the grand jury to repeat a graft
story he related to Mr.. Whitman. In
this story he told of paying SIS month
ly for the privilege of selling liquor
without license
Once he refused to pay, he declared,
and there was a fake raid" on his
hotel, and he was brought to court, but
when he slipped SIS into a policeman's
hands the case against him fe,
through for lack of evidence" He was
told that this would be "a lesson" to
him, he said.
