of seeing her father set fire to the bed

WIRETAPPER CHIEF
MAY CONFESS ALL
Postponement of GondOrf
Trial Backs Up Report
That He's Weakening.

District Attorney Perkins received
another testimonial yesterday of the
successful operations of the Gondorf
gang of alleged wiretappers.
A letter from an upstate man."
whose name is withheld for obvious
reasons, informed the District Attor-
ney yesterday that he had attended
one of the famous "clinics" in the
Shymer house, in West Forty-seventh
Street, and that his Operation" had
cost him $4,000. He was sure he had
been a victim of the Gondorf doctors
The trial of Fred Gondorf on the
charge of swindling William j..
OReilly. a Toronto contractor, out Of
S17,500 by the overlapping method,
was postponed until to-day, when the
case was called Yesterday before Judge
Malone in General Sessions. The re-
port became current that Gondorf was
weakening and might make confess
sion involving other members OF the
gang. James Fitzgerald, "Old Fitz."
was indicted with Gondorf on a charge
of grand larceny, principally on the
testimony of O'Reilly. and two or three
other arrests are expected before As
sistalr District Attorney OMalley, who
was assigned TO the overlapping cases,
completes his investigation.
Charles Henderson, Brooklyn sales
man. who was arrested in connection
with the O'Reilly swindle, was held in
IS. 600 bail yesterday in Yorkville Court
for examination tomorrow.
The mother of Mrs. r. D. Shymer,
lessee Of the house at Al West Forty
seventh Street, who lost her life on
the Lusitania, was questioned yester-
day. It appears that the wire tappers,
who held their clinics" in the rooms
of doctor Fredericks," completely de-
ceived the Shymers as TO their identity
and respectability. Mrs. Shymer's
mother could not identify O'Reilly as
ever having seen him visit the West
Forty-seventh Street house.

BRONXITES GLORY
IN EMILE PARADE
Fifth Annual Borough Day
Celebration Breaks All
TranS-HarIem Records.

Seven miles of Bronxites. represent
ing all phases of the life of their Dor
ough, from a battery of field artillery
to the smallest school children, whose
legs had some difficulty in keeping
step. fled past the reviewing stand on
the Grand Boulevard yesterday after
noon in the largest and most elaborate
parade ever seen on the other side Of
the Harlem.
There were serried ranks of police,
street cleaners, fremen and represent
atives of all other departments of the
city; there were guardsmen and Boy
Scouts and junior police and $4,000
school children; there were countless
floats and hundreds of automobiles and
ffty-seven different varieties of music,
not forgetting the boys band of the
Catholic Protectory, some Of the
members of which were no larger than
the horns they played; there were
Civil and Spanish War veterans and
large delegation Of suffragettes re-
splendent in white and gold.
All in all, it was a most satisfactory
parade, and even the collapse of the
two victims Of heat prostration was
accomplished in the most spectacular
fashion possible, each of them falling
from line directly in front of the
grandstand, almost beneath the nose OF
the Borough President.
On the reviewing stand, were the
Borough President, Thomas W. White,
Park Commissioner; County Judge
Louis ID. Gibbs, George VI. S. Schulz,
Surrogate; Edward Polack, Register;
Robert c. Wood, Public Service Com
missioner; James V. Ganley, County
Clerk. and Sheriff James F. O'Brien.
Each of the spectators appeared to
have some relative in the procession,
and for that reason seemed TO be
obliged to cheer continually. 1t is a
question whether there are more sore
feet or sore throats in Bronx homes
this morning.
Among those with hoarsened voices
will probably be the Borough Presi-
dent. After standing bareheaded most
of the time in the sun for three hours
yesterday afternoon, he made nine adj
dresses in various parts of his borough
last night.
All public buildings in The Bronx
were illuminated last night, and most
of the stores and dwellings were gay
with bunting. This is the fifth recur-
renee of the day which Borough Presi-
dent Cyrus Miller first set aside for
the glorification of The Bronx. Bronx
ties say the celebration will not COM
pare with the one which they have al
ready begun to plan for next year.

"RIPPERS" FREED,
WOMAN CHARGES
SAYS ImbecileS Left Ran
dall's Shortly Before
COhn Murder.

Mrs. Bradley Hazard. a social worker
living at 222 West Fifty-ninth Street,
shocked the State Board of Charities
yesterday with the suggestion that
Randall's Island is turning potential
murderers and "rippers" loose in New
York. Two adult imbeciles, she de
olared, were turned adrift with 10 cents
each. q short time before the murder
Of Leonore Cohn.
DIR. Walter J. Books admitted it,"
said Mrs. Hazard. CDR. Books told me
that they were allowed to go by order
Of Commissioner kingsbury. The very
thought Of the thing made me sick and
could not sleep that night, and | must
say that the thing has given me greater
diStrust of the present administration.
Can any one wonder that we have rip
per crimes"
Mrs. Hazard is ice-president of the
Florence Crittenton Home and has been
engaged in social and philanthropic
WORK for twenty-five years.
Commissioner Kingsbury, when he
henrd of the testimony, Indignantly de-
MED her charges and started an in
gu ~. :,
"tnat ! ordered any such discharge"
DR.. Books, an inferno on the island,
told the Commissioner that he had
simply mentioned to Mrs. Hazard the
names of two boys who had no fault
save laziness and were returned to
their homes. Tracing this story fur
ther, Commissioner Kingsbury found
that Superintendent Flick had given
those boys 10 cents each, and that both
bows were now at home. The only
other occurrence of a similar nature
Commissioner Kingsbury could recall
was the turning over TO the police of
thee boys who had plotted to burn
down the institution and make their
escape.
Mrs. Hazard said further that she
had spoken to Commissioner Kingsbury
Of Mrs Mary c. Dunphy, whose acts
as head of the institution are now un-
der investigation by the State Board
of Charities, and that the Commits
sioner told her he had a high regard
for the woman and would see that she
got a pension if she resigned. AS to
her own opinion of Mrs. Dunphy, Mrs.
Hazard said:
Il think she has been perfectly won
oeIful, considering everything"
Physicians on the island got only
slCO a year, Mrs. Hazard asserted "a
disgraceful thing" She added that a
woman noted for her philanthropy had
contributed largely to a fund for the
physicians. 1t was said that Mrs.
Hazard meant Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt.
Or. W. L. Stowell, of the General
Medical Consulting Board. declared
that he had seen inmates beaten and
cowed by the threat of a stick, but so

Chalmers was pitching a first class game.
He wasn't as effective as Mayer, who

effective, but was doing we'll enough.
