NEW GRAF STORY
TO SPECIAL JURY
Whitman EIated Over Evidence
Against Hassett Brought
Out at Inquiry.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Distrlct At
torney Whitman said today that he
would without delay lay before the
special grand jury all the facts In the
Hassett bribery case as developed
yesterday in the testimony of Madi-
son r. Aldrich, of Poughkeepsie,
president of the Bridgeport Construc-
ton Company, and John e. Gonsalus,
of Troy, in the John Doe graft pro-
ceediags
The statements of witnesses are to
be supplemented before the grand
jury by q mass of documentary evil
dence that has come into the prosecu-
tors hands such as records of tele-
phone calls, bank accounts and the
| like, all of which, it is understood,
will bear out the statement of Mr..
Aldrich that he paid 81 500 to Thomas
| Hassett, confidential agent of State
| Engineer John A. Bensel, in order to
get his final estimate on a road con-
| tract passed.
| Mr.. Whitman was in high spirits
today over the result of the last ses-
sion before Chief Magistrate McAdoo.
| Prospective indictments of men of
| higher standing than any that has
| been mentioned are beginning to show
| clearer.
Hassett, Mr.. Whitman is informed,
| took ship for the West Indies, as did
James X. MCGUIRE, former mayor of
Syracuse, about the time the John
Doe proceedings began to stimulate
| foreign travel.
The last time Thomas Hassett's
name got into the headlines, accord
ling to Mr.. Whitman, was in Septem-
Der of last year, when Police Com
missioner Waldo was Intercepted
| before the aldermanic investigating
committee in relation to an affidavit
made by John T. Reith, police cap
| tain.
| Reith had told of having been
taken when lieutenant by AL John
son. then under sheriff, to the office
of Thomas Hassett, secretary of the
Board of Water Supply, and of hav-
| ing been informed by Johnson that
| he could gain a captaincy by pay
ment of $4,000. Both Johnson and
| Hassett denied any such dealings
with Reith. Johnson threatened Reith
with prosecution for perjury, but the
police captain has shown no signs of
worry up to the present.

HEARN PICTURES

Art Museum viii Be Enriched
Third Time in a Year
Through Death.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The year 1918
will have an unusual record to con-
tribute to the history or fine arts In
this country. This fact is brought
to the fore by the death yesterday
of the third multi millionaire art COL
lector whose decease during the year
has promised the enrichment of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art with
priceless treasures. but which may be
roughly estimated above 100000. 900

on March 81, of Benjamin Altman. q
New York merchant print, on OctobsP
z and that yesterday of George A.
Hearn, another wealthy merchant, ara
three instances disclosing the VAST
extent into which wealthy Americans
have lately INDUCED in the private
collection of art objects with the gen
erous project in view of leaving their
collections to the public.
The Metropolitan Museum is likely
to get the bulk of this great treasure
store II it is able to provide suitable
housing for the collections, The
museum is already exhibiting many
of Mr.. Morgan's various collections,
and according to the reported inten-
ton of the late financiers son, J. p.
Morgan. who inherited the treasure.
they will pass to the museum as soon
as full accommodation is provided.
Mr. Altman left collection of pic
lures valued at several millions, which
include early Rembrandts and other
work of the old masters, which by
terms of his will go to the Metropoli-
tan Museum.
Mr.. Hearn during his lifetime has
presented to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum 81 paintings, 80 of which are of
the American school, in which he was
so particularly interested, that he
founded an endowment fund of $780,
600 for the purchase of works by
American artists
In his home there is still a large
private collection of valuable paint
ings and carved worries, as well as a
remarkable collection of jades, which,
1t Is reported, are bequeathed to his
wife, with the probable provision that
upon her death they will be added to
the Hearn collection in the Metropoli-
tan Museum.

JUNIOR REPUBLIC
HEAD IS ACCUSED
Vim. R. George Faces Judges
After Girls Make Charges
Against Him.

| NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-An investi-
cation, instituted at his own request,
has been made of the conduct of
William R. George, founder of the
George Junior Republic at Freeville,
N. Y, while he was active head of
that institution The testimony of at
least fifty persons citizens" and
former "citizens" of the republic and
persons identified with the work there
has been taken, and three judges
Joseph II. Choate. Justice Samuel
Seabury and Lillian ID. Wald-will
hand down a decision about Janu-
airy 1.
The investigation. growing out of
the charges of Elsie Whitmore, Leah
Klemm and Iva Temple, all former
Citizens has been conducted by the
National Association of George Junior
Republics, of which George is di-
rector. Henry A. Wise, former United
States district attorney, was retained
to represent the directors and Emory
r.. Buclkner to represent George.
The Whitmore girl, who became
"citizen" of the Republic at Free
vile in 1904 and remained there three
years, has made three affidayits. In
the first she said that George was the
father of her baby, which was born
in Rochester after she had been sent
from Freeville. In the second she re-
pudiated her first statements, declar-
ing that they had been influenced by
William Zabesky, who had been taken
to the Elmira Reformatory for bur-
glary In the third she repudiated
the second and reverted to her first
charges.
George, his finances broken because
of his philanthropies and his health
shattered by the charges, is in his
Freeville home. He has not, for some
time, been active in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the Freeville
republic.
"Mr. George has been maligned by
moral irresponsibles, said Mr..
Buckner yesterday. There can be
no weight of testimony of girl like
Elsie Whitmore.
This inquiry was insisted upon by
Mr. George 1t is the general, al
most unanimous opinion that he will
be exonerated. Elsie Whitmore is
the only one of the five hundred girls
who have enjoyed Mr.. Georges phil
anthropy that makes such charges"

Between
Ourselves

No one has ever succeeded in
solving the psychology of the
Christmas gift.
Along about October list we be-
gin to anticipate Christmas. AS
yet the joyous day is far in the
distant. November LIST arrives
on schedule time and we sit up
and take notice. This year wifi
be sensible, new-fashioned
Christmas" we declare. II shall
give no presents and / hope my
friends will not give me any"
Throughout November we sit
tightly upon the lid of our new
fashioned Christmas resolutions
and naively murmur: Indeed,
there will be no Christmas in MY
house THIS year.
Thirty days float by and pres
toi The store windows begin to
glitter with Yuletide wares. The
Christmas fever grips us and off
we go. Instead of our NEW
FASHIONED giftless Christmas
we buy nice presents for all our
friends and receive nice things
in return.
All of which proves that hui
manity is VERY HUMAN and
that they amt no such thing"
