CONFERS WITH THE DOCTOR

before the grand jury as witnesses.
Story of Jealous Quarrel.
Former Judge George Wallace was
asked yesterday about the reported
trouble between Or. and Mrs. Carmsn
at the Lincoln Day dance at the Free
port Club. According to the story,
Mrs Carman objected to the doctors
talking to another woman, and remon-
strated so strongly that something OF
a scene followed.

~ was in the club at the time of the
dance, and I saw both DR.. and Mrs.

the trouble took place. Ny dancing

talking with some friends when the re-
port reached me. only know what |

Of the doctor that night"
Who the woman is who aroused the
jealousy of the physicians wife is
known to all Freeport, but no one in
the village wished to be "miXed up" in
the Bailey case, and every one is now
sedulously engaged in holding his
peace.
Miss Hazel Coombs said yesterday
she had been told that she would lie
wanted as witness before the grand
jury.

FIRES BR0ADSIDE
AT MAYOR mitchell
Bullock Wants Aldermanic In
quiry Into Snow Removal
Problem.

Replying 10 the statement of Com
missioner Fetherston of the Depart
ment Of Street Cleaning on the charge
that cost of removing the snow from
the streets last winter was excessive,
William Bullock, director OF the Blu
reau Of City Inquiry, sent an open let
ter to Mayor Mitchell yesterday.
"Do you refuse the request OF our
bureau for an aldermanic inquiry
backed by the bureaus willingness to
reveal voluminous facts and figures on
every snow district in Manhattan y Is
one OF thirteen questions Mr.. Bullock
puts to the Mayor.
Mr.. Bullock tries to show that the
present contracts are about the same
IT. form as those adopted by the Board
of Estimate in 1910, when the Mayor,
then President Of the Board Of Alder
men, was chairman Of special COM
mittee on snow removal.
Statements of apparently excessive
carnings Of some OF the trucks engaged
i'm snow removal are repeated by Mr..
Bullock, and he asks: "Do you persist
IT, saving the snow removal was done
economically and officlently?'
I'm response to the request OF Com
missioner Fetherston for suggestions
as 70 better methods, Mr.. Bullock said:
LET the city do its own snow re,
moval, dealing with the individual
truckmen AS the contractors and sub.
contractors. Why should the City OF
New York be required to pay profit
Of IS cents a cubic yard to the con-
tractor sitting back with his arms
folded. and second profit to the sub
contractor sitting back also with his
arms folded, over and above the price
in which the truckman who actually
removes the snow finds proiit? The
Commissioner invites me to help him
on the enforcement OF next winters
contracts In view of the facts set
forth above | decline his invitation"

The battle Of the Storcks on the

Storck. surrounded by her brothers
and ether relatives. repulsed the raid

meant another month. Storck was just

Bitter Fight May Shake
Power of Tammany
in Many Ways.
DIFFICULT PROBLEM
CONFRONTS MURPHY
Trouble Over Appointments and
Alleged Naughty Attitude
of FraWley.

Thomas +. Foley, Tammany leader
c: the I'd District and, as successor
to the East Side power of the Sulli-
vans, one OF the most powerful forces
in the organization, has declared war
on Senator James J. Frawley, leader
of the 26th District and chairman of
the Finance Committee of the State
Senate. He says he will drive Fraw-
ley out Of the leadership and block
his denomination for the Senate.
What attitude Charles F. Murphy
will take is not known, for he is on
intimate terms with both. If he fol-
lows out the practice of past years he
will try to keep Foley from stirring
up discord in the organization on the
eve OF an important election, but, fail
ing in that, will preserve a neutral
course.
The trouble between the two powers
IN Iammany circles is due to Michael
a, Rofrano, who was appointed a dep
uty Street Cleaning Commissioner re-
Gently, and Eugene Driscoll and his
brother. Clement Driscoll. For several
years they have been contesting the
leadership Of Foley in the I'd District.
Al the same time Frawley has had
business relations with them. Foley
asked Frawley to have nothing to do
with them. Frawley refused, saying
that they had been friends for years
and he had no quarrel with them.
Senator Frawley recently sailed for
Europe. IL was his first ocean voyage,
as he had a dread Of the sea for years.
He will not be back for several weeks.
He is said to have minated before he
went that he might retire from poll
tics.
"The trouble with Frswley," said
Foley last night, els that he is all
swelled up with his own Importance
have not spoken to him for some
time.
"fIe was hsrboring Rofrano and the
Driscolls in his Office, when they were
Matching schemes 10 dcpoSe me and

think he sho I'D have.
1.-THE trouble between Rofrano and
the Driscolls and myself started IN the
spring of 1912, when Glenn Driscoil
got out of his job as Deputy Police
Commissioner.
"If Frawley is reelected as leader
and Senator he will have to fight. II
have any influence | will stop him;
may say am not alone. They are 'on
to- him, and before ] get through they
will know a lot more about him. ] am
told that at beefsteak OF this club
some time ago he announced that ne
would get out of the leadership"
Foley would not say if any othe
leaders were opposed to Frawley. The
Iatter's Senate District the 2oth-in,
cIudes the oath Assembly District, Of
which John J. Detz is leader, and the
2sth, of which Nicholas j. Hayes is
leader.
Rofrano used 10 be a lieutenant OF
Foley. but now is his bitter enemy
and has given evidence that has re,
suited in the indictment of some OF
the Foley workers on charges of cleo,
ton frauds. Recently It was charged
that Rofrano had forced an Italian 10
