CLIMAX
In BRIBE CHARGE
Queens Politicians Career
MARRIED by Death, ACCUSE
tons and Graft Scandals.

John NJ. Phillips. former Under
Sheriff and at one time a well known
politician in Queens, who was recent
ly suspended from the position OF
purchasing agent for the state pris-
ons, pleaded not guilty to charge of
attempting to bride Detectives Gaff-
ley and O'Connell He was srraigned
before Magistrate Leach in the Long
Island City police court yesterday and
released on $4,000 bail.
The alleged attempted bribery grew
out of the arrest of Phillips by the
two detectives on July 81, on a charge
Of bookmaking.
Beyond pleading, Phillips refused to
make a statement. but told friends
that it was "frame-up" TO prevent
his reinstatement as purchasing agent.
Ill-fortune has pursued Phillips for
n number of years. He comes from a
family well known as builders. Fol-
lowing the death of his father, his
mother continued the building bust
ness. With the aid of her sons, she
managed contracts amounting 10 sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
During the Spanish American war
Phillips and four brothers served in
the seth Regiment. He was twice
married. He later became involved in
the graft scandals that swept former
Borough President Lawrence Gresser
out of Office. At the time he was in
dicted in the graft scandals his only
son died.
Ex-Governor Sulzer and Phillips
we're personal friends. and before the
formers election Phillips was sched-
uled to be Sheriff of Queens, but the
notoriety connected with the graft
scandals barred him.

For ten days past Puritanical air
has pervaded the tinselled and bright

favor of hymns has crept into the
hitherto violently syncopated music.
The words chanted by cabaret singers
to the ragtime tunes have been remi-

Just as unrefned after the Deputy
Commissioners entry as before
Mr.. Cooley has jurisdiction over the
City of Churches. A training season
on HYMNS had not prepared him for
the carols sung by the cabaret artists
Of the Doll Palace Danse.
Mr.. Cooley finally had to 20 outside

burning ears came sound and sentl-
ment from the other resorts at least
as highly seasoned as those of the
Palace Danse. Right then. in Mr.. God
ley's shocked brain, was born the ex-
purgation SQUAD.
The squad is composed of high
minded young men of the plainclothes
force. As an antidote for their past
virtue. the Deputy Commissioner has
assigned each Of them TO a Bowery
cabaret. There they sit all day as a
board of censorship. No European

Dut by trenches.
This is one Of the great Impressions
my visit 10 the battle lines made on
me-the vast loneliness of modern war.
Let me illustrate. One reads in the
Official communique: There was heavy
bombardment at -- yesterday"
Silence Enforced at 200 Yards,
The day after l stood alone between
the battle lines | visited this portion
Of the front We were taken in auto
mobiles to the centre of a dense woods,
and from there walked by narrow
woodland paths a mile and half to an
tncampment under hill. Near by was
the beginning Of a communication
trench leading TO the first line trenches.
We were 10 see the battle ground from
the first line, but there were eight in
our party and we divided into three
parts and went by sections, because
eight would be TOO large a party. The
German trenches ';ere 200 yards from
the French frst line, but on a battle
front eight persons would make too
much noise and attract too much atten-
ton.
Try to find out how much noise you
will hear from eight persons in ordinary
conversation 200 yards away-first nav
Ing warned them not 10 speak too loud
and you will get some idea Of the
stiffness Of the first line trenches.
But we went in three sections and
avoided speaking. We had been hear
Ing the big guns all day. There is not
q time in the war zone when you don't
hear big guns. but shortly before we
entered the communication trench we
heard for the first time that afternoon
