.LAHEY NO MIND READER
So Tells Curran Counsel When
Asked What Waldo Meant.
Jokes ABOUT COMPLAINTS
Told of Fifty in Two Months,
He Replies: Good Letter
Writers in My District.

Inspector William j. Lahey, OF the Sd
Inspection District, appeared sbefore the
Curran aldermanic investigating COM
mittee, but unlike former Inspector
Hayes, who was examined last week
Lahey failed to produce sensation. In
fact the inspector said:
I'm only subordinate in the depart
ment, and | don't have an opinion on any
concrete subject
He told Assistant District Attorney j.
Robert Rubin. who conducted the investi-
CATION because Emory +. Buckner was i'll
with a cold that he had arrested over
1900 street women since he took charge
of his district in May. 1911, and 90 per
cent of the arrests resulted in convictions.
Mr. Rubin remarked that he had received
within the last two months fifty COM
plants about places in the inspectors
district Lahey said:
well, we've got some corking letter
writer's up there whose purpose is either
spite or blackmail"
When the examination touched on raid
ing gambling houses Lahey admitted in
a number Of instances he made no arrests
or stationed no men in the places. He
said Waldo had directed some raids over
his head, and Becker had carried them
out.
What did the Commissioner say when
he called you i'm"
Il don't remember, but it was pretty
hot"
What do you do when complaints are
made involving yourself?' Nj. Rubin
asked
We'll, there weren't any such COM
plants; but If there were I'd deal with
them suitably"
I'm afraid you're too optimistic about
that. Here's letter involving you and
patroman, and your report is that the
complaint was untrue and unfounded. Did
YOU investigate that complaint"
How could man investigate him
| self" retorted Lahey.
Il don't know; that's why don't see
why this was referred TO you"
The inspector denied that Waldo or
dered him to raid gambling places, but let
disorderly houses alone. He said he was
called on for report on his district on
August I. and Mr. Rubin tried TO make II
! appear that the request was because OF
the Rosenthal murder, three weeks before.

Involves Police Inspector.

These letters. combined with the testi-
mony OF Dorian and Mrs. Dorian, will
form the basis for demand by the Dis

intermingled. which surrounds Dorian
absence from town will involve, besides
one of the owners of the Avanel Hotel. a
police inspector, also implicated by Fox's
testimony.
Information was given TO Mr.. whitman
yesterday which indicates that the in
spector I'm question was splitting per-
centage of his graft with one of the com
manding civilians at Police Headquarters.
and the possible disclosures which lie in
the developments of the next week are
likely 10 shake the police system as II
has never been shaken by any of the
previous Investigations.
The hotel man involved was a witness

ruption recently. and he gave the dis
tinct impression OF a man who would not
calmly face a 1ve-year sentence that ne
could evade by revealing his relations
with others higher in the scale of graft
than himself.
In this connection il was noted yester-
day that. although Emory X. Buckner'
counsel to the aldermanc committee, an
nounced on Sunday that he would call
Inspector Dennis Sweeney as a witness
Yesterday. Immediately after he finished
with Inspector Lahey, the Harlem district
commander was not summoned to the
stand.
There had been considerable discussion
among LAWYERS who are following the po-
lice Investigations whether testimony
given before the Curran committee would
furnish sufficient grounds for plea for
immunity or not, but it was noted that
Mr. Buckner had exercised the greatest

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE sundry
civil BILL which was vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft on March 4, was reintroduced
in the house today, carrying an appro-
priation of 100000 for a government
exhibit at the Panama Pacific exposi-
tion. 1t is believed the bill will be
passed without change, under a special
rule.
Members of the California delegation
were pleased today to receive night
letter from President Moore Of the
Panama Pacific exposition correcting
the story that was telegraphed broad
cast throughout the United States that
California was not to have a state
building. The original dispatch caused
considerable comment among members
of congress from outside states.
Il am very glad indeed said Con-
gressman KnowIand. that President
Moore has answered fully the err
roneous dispatch which was sent out
from California and published in the
leading newspapers throughout the
United States conveying the i'm
preston that California would have
no state building.
1T was rather embarrassing to the
members of the California delegation,
as the dispatches We're commented
upon generally by members Of con-
gress. | think 1t would be an excel
lent plan to have the dispatch of
President Moore placed in the hands
of every member of congress. which

PRESIDENT NOT
WORRIED OVER
ALIEN LAND BILL
Wilson Says Japan and
Other Nations Affected
By Legislation Will Be
Reasonable
BY IRA f. BENNETT
Especial Dispatch to The CAM

Especial Dispatch to The Call)
WASHINGTON, April 14.-President
Wilson is not worrying over the
phraseology in the alien land bill pend
ing in the California Legislature. which
puts all nations on basis of equality
with reference to the ownership of
land.
The correspondent drew the presi-
tions had been made by diplomats of
foreign nations that the bill as it
stands prevents aliens of any nation
from owning land in California for
more than year unless they take out
their first citizenship papers
It was stated to the president that
some of the diplomats had construed
1t as violation of their treaty rights,
which provide that Americans shall
own land in foreign countries without
giving up their allegiance to the United
States and that foreigners can own
land in the United States without sur
rendering their allegiance to their own
nation
REGARDED As LOCAL NATTER
The president stated to The Call rep
resentative. however. that he felt that
the other nations would be reasonable
and recognize the fact that the national
government could not control the ac-
tion of California and that the alien
land law naturally would not extend
beyond the borders of California
The president made it clear that he
is taking hand in the California
alien land law controversy only as an
individual.
President Wilson now is trying in a
tactfu1 way to get such changes in
the bill as will propitiate Japan and
prevent any further complications.
Other nations may be offended by the

SPECIAL Cable to The Cam

Especial Cable to The Ca1D
ROME, April 14-Rome began to
hope today that the miraculous would
happen and that the aged pope would
after all successfully combat the COM
plication of diseases which has sapped
his vitality. pulled down his strength
and brought him to the very brink Of
the grave
After a sleep1ess night in which the
doctors worked increasingly to fight off
the threatened pneumonia. his holiness
at last sank into a sleep, which could
hardly be determined from coma When
he awakened 1t was found the pneu-
monia symptoms had almost disap-
peared. and the fever had abated until
it was well below 100 degrees.
While the attending physicians are
encouraged 1t must not be considered
that the danger of fatal termination
of the attack is not extremely grave.
WEAK AND EMACIATED
The holy father is in a pitiable state
of weakness and emaciation. He Is
able to take little nourishment, and 1t
is a question whether or not he will
be able to get hold of himself. even
if the danger from Inflammation and
fever is arrested.
1T is this question of giving their IL
lustrious patient strength so that ne
may become convalescent which Is now
engaging the energies Of the doctors.
Among the high officials at the vati-
can upon whom will devolve the grave
duties of carrying on the work of the
church during the interim between the
death Of the pope and the election and
installation of his successor the faint
hope that the doctors will be successful
in fighting off death has not had the
effect Of hating the preparations for
the elaborate ceremonies which follow
a change.
RULES TO BE OBEYED
Well beloved as Pope Plus is, the sin
cere sorrow for his death must not and
will not interfere with the prescribed
rules of the church.
So far as possible the vatican is pre-
rared for the end now. The cardinals
who rule the church at the far ends OF
the earth are kept informed of the con-
dition of his holiness, so that they may
start for Rome in time to be present at
the opening of the conclave which will
elect the next pope. The dignitaries who
have prescribed duties to attend when
the end comes are ready for instant call.
Much interest is felt in the question
Of the succession. The men who Will
name the next pope are silent, but
