TAMMANY PROBE

Criminal Prosecution for All
Grafters Is Whitman
Ultimatum

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.--That there
will DO criminal prosecution for any
one. high or low, In Tammany hall
or elsewhere, who has grated Oh
politics, was the position assumed BY
District Attorney Whitman today.
Whitman, reelected almost unani.
mously. nominated by fusion and In
dorsed by Tammany, declared the
campaign charges would be probed
to the bottom.
II Is admitted that any charge OF
misuse Of funds by Tammany leaders
would hardly be susceptible OF proof
Tammany, II IL well known, keeps nc
books. The campaign receipts are
expended ON the mod" OF the chief
So far as contracts are concerned
It would be hard for criminal prose
cution to lie against q politician sim
ply because his arm managed to get
the cream Of city, county or state
work. But John A. Hennessy and VII
liam Sulzer promised they would
show actual conspiracy to defraud
the state by big Tammany leaders
end Whitman says he will hold them
to their word.
There will be the fullest and most
hearty cooperation between by once
and Mayor Mitchell In the next four
years." said District Attorney Whit
man today. I'VE shall sift every bill
OF evidence obtainable In connection
with all Of the graft allegations made
on the stump. II may take weeks te
complete the John Doe inquiry. But

by Judge Hanley. charging them with
contempt of court for failure to an

Joseph was arrested. Tuesday even

the county jail. sent word to the
fudge about o'clock, Wednesday
morning, that he was ready to forget
his prejudices and appear IN court IN
the afternoon. so Judge Hanley or
dered him released.
II was at the request Of Mrs. Mary
Sullivan, the widow, OF Michael Sui

How many such units can co,opa,

trooper may be the best cavalry SOL

tinental armies. During the early
seventies, the old organization founded
on the practice which had stood the
tremendous test OF the Civil War, was
abandoned upon the recommendation Of

AS the cavalry formerly was for the

try in small bodies. doing duty on
Western frontiers, the defects OF its
organizations never were very ap-

ton brought TO light the urgent need
of a reimbursement, and its officers now
are hopeful that the new plans will
bring the mounted service TO the point
of perfection.
