OF the plainclothes men were advocated by
Mrs w X Vanderbilt 10 the Wagner
Committee. which is Investigating the
Police Department. at its session yestcr-
day. Mrs. Vanderbilt advanced her sug-
gestions in letter she wrote to Senator
Wagner. chairman of the committee.
Mrs. Vanderbilt strongly advocated the
plan to remove from the pleinclothes
policemen the power To handle the social
evil. She said she was deeply Interested
in the situation. and that, by eliminating
the plainclothes men graft and oppression
would be minimiZed.

Ashley Shea. the gambler VINO turned
collector for one OF Sweeney's men. will
be one Of the chief witnesses on the Har-
lem graft matter before she regular grand
jury. Ills testimony was not in shape for
presentation to the extraordinary grand
jury before it adjourned, and as his graft
paying days include periods during which
other inspectors than Sweeney gathered
the Harlem harvest it was decided to
hold him over for a witness in the pros
pectye cases against two or three Of
Sweeney's predecessors.
The additional indictments against
Duffy. filed yesterday. We're based OH evil

More Bribery Charges.


More Bribery Charges.
These three cases relate to the graft
activities OF some OF Sweeney's predeces-
sors in the 9Th inspection District. and
are fairly certain TO produce three add
tional indictments Further than that, the
same three men are each ia danger OF
another Indictment under Section 2tf0 Of
the penal law. which makes il a felony

ness.
This phase Of the matter will also DE tax

Eugene T.. Fox will testify as TO the $4,000
which i've police officials promised TO give
10 him II he skipped OUT and the $1,000
promised TO him II he would fight the case
against him to which he eventually
pleaded guilty. Two of the five police
officials concerned have already been in
dlcted or the other three. whose cases
will be taken up next, one is an inspector
and two are captains who were formerly
inspectors.
Two trails which lead toward Polio"
Headquarters VIII probably engage the
attention OF the regular grand jury even
before IL goes into the final inquiry into
police graft in Harlem. one Of these is
the excise graft question, which was
brought 10 the front on Thursday by
James J. McGrath and his protection"
note. and the other the wire tapping
graft. s. ich has long been marked In po-
lice circles az the property Of "tieadquar
ters"
John j. Mustard. district head OF his
local organization Of the Liquor Dealers
Association. who was named az the man
TO be- paid in McGrath's protection
note. was witness before the extraor
binary grand jury yesterday. but was re-
subppnaed 10 appear on Monday before
the regular grand jury.
Mustard explained before n. went into
the grand jury room that this ''protec-
ton note Of McGrath's referred merely
to some legal services or 10 some
tickets for "A political outing or ball.
His explanations We're vague and took
10 account Of the word protection" in
the note. but he insisted the saloonkeep-
ers were not now paying any graft TO
the police and that the Liquor Dealers
Association. as such. had never paid any
"protection" money TO any one.
Mr.. Whitman has gathered other lntor-
nation which discloses that the excise
graft. formerly the property OF the pre-
cuct and district police heads. was trans
ferred to Headquarters colncdent with
Mayor Gaynors orders keeping police
men out OF saloons. This probably Will
be- put before the regular grand jury on
Monday after Mustard gets a chance to
explain his activities.
The appearance Of john Gray. better

beginning OF an nqJiry into the wire

SOCIAL EVIL THE PROBLEM

The only real problem that confront
cd the Police Department to-day, Com
missioner Waldo declared last night,
WAS the social evil. The gamblers. he
said. had been run out of New York,
and kept out. If his policy Of dealing
with gambling was maintained he
prophesied that by next year New York
would be free from gambling of all
kinds.

The social evil is the biggest prob

UTAH CAPITALIST INSPECTS
LAND HOLDINGS AT PARMA
Fred ]. Kiesel Well Pleased With
Development of Boise Valley.

Fred J. kiesel of Ogden, Utah. was
n Parma, Friday to Monday OF this
week on a property inspecting tour
MIR. kiesel has been owner for the
last 80 years OF the 1900 acres OF land
adjoining Parma. formerly cared for
by John Nelson, at whose home MIR.
kiesel was guest during his stay in
Parma Mr.. Kiesel made himself well
and favorably known to the Parma
people some 30 years ago through his
unwavering faith in the future great
ness of this valley, and his ability and
willingness to back up that faith with
his eastern money. He was one OF
the three men whose money backed
the building of the Sebree canal now
known as the Farmers COOPERATIVE
ditch, the other two being Howard
Sebree and P. P. Shelby. When the
three men conceived the idea of the
canal. the extensively priced land now
bordering the Farmers COOPERATIVE
ditch was sagebrush waste, and Par
ma was two houses and flag station.
With these few facts from early
Parma history it is easy TO understand
the warm welcome always awaiting
Mr.. kiesel here. although he is not a
permanent resident of Idaho or Par
ma. Mr.. Kiesel is also the owner of
5000 acers of land at Arcadia and near
and in Ontario he has extensive in

throughout Malheur county and on

EMMETT COUNCIL WAS
UNABLE TO GET STATEMENT
Committee Made Thorough Investi-
cation of Appointments.

The city OF Caldwell has brought
suit against ex-Assessor Frank Crow
ther to recover S9p.W and accrued
interest which was appropriated to
other Canyon county cities and vii
lagos. The money was so appropriate
ed through an error as was shown in
the last issue of The Tribune. As
shedding additional light on the mis-
appropriation of the funds we take
the following from the Emmett In
dex:
The mix-up is a peculiar one, and
Crowther is victim of circumstances
and probably carelessness in the con-
duct of his office At the January
meeting OF the city council of EN-
nett the members OF that august body
were startled by the presentation OF
a claim OF S7lo32 from Mr.. Crow
ther, who in statement said that
amount had been paid to the city OF
Emmett from funds belonging to the
city OF Caldwell, and requested that
the money be refunded. A committee
composed OF David Murray and Ray
Coon, was appointed to examine the
county books and report upon the
claim. After a careful examination
ol tHc dSSCSSOI uOOhS, TIC NOIIlilIltlcC
reported that they were unable to
find any record that would show what
part OF the amount received by EN-
NETT at that time was delinquent tax
es, or any record OF remittance being
made to the city of Emmett and
would recommend that this amount
be not refunded until detailed state
ment be sent this city of amounts due
for delinquent taxes for 1903
The assessors cash book shows that
Sl3.52 was credited to Emmett which
belonged to Caldwell; that $3.50 was
credited to Emmett which belonged 10
Nampa; 81 so credited to Emmett. be
longing to Caldwell; and Sl70 credit
ed to Caldwell, belonging to Emmett
The committee found no record OF
any delinquent taxes being paid 70 this
city in loOo-l0. The council adopted
the committees report As no state
ment of Emme,s's account has ye.
been received. the council has persist
entity refused TO refund.
