his forts until long after dark, when
the sand man was about due. He was
rubbing his eyes with his little chubby
fists when the big policeman happened

policeman his name, and said his
fathers name was Max. He has a sis

he thought he lived in East Tooth

cried once since being sheltered at the
society, and is contented to play with
the other lost children of his own age.
According to Mr.. Horn, he was well
cared for. by his parents. He has big
blue eyes and dark hair, and was
dressed in white when found.

J. M. Phillips, Queens
Democrat, Accused At
ter Betting Arrest.
500 BILL HIDDEN
IN NEWSPAPER
Sleuths Asked Not to Testify and
to Drop Handbook Case,
They Declare.

John NJ. Phillips, one of the most IN
Auential Democrats in Queens and Tor
mer Under Sheriff, was locked up last
night in the Long Island City police
station. charged with attempting to
bride a detective to drop charge
against him.
This followed Phillips's arrest last
Saturday, when he is alleged to have
been found writing a handbook. At
that time Detectives Gaffney and
O'Connell entered a store at 1888 jack
son Avenue, where they say Philips
was. They declare they found IN his
possession a number of slips. on which
were recorded bets on horses, and 1856
in cash.
Phillips was taken to the Long ISL
and City police court, where the de-
tectives testified they had seen the
politician accept bets from two men:
Magistrate Leach held him in $1,000
bail for examination next Monday
According to the story told By the
detectives last night, they were walk
ing on the greensboro Bridge plaza
when Phillips approached them.
Are YOU fellows looking for some
one else to pinch ?" the detectives say
Phillips asked them. "No. we're only
Winding our own business" Gaffney
replied. Phillips. so the detectives de-
clare. then offered them 5000 II they
would not testify against him when
the handbook charge comes up Monday.
81 don't believe you'd make good
GafTney asserted. Phillips, then, &C
cording TO the sleuths, walked to a
newsstand and purchased a newspaper;
He placed something inside it, and
came back toward the detectives.
Then, according to Gaffney and O'Con-
nell. as we'll as Detectives Erb and
DIVER, who were also on the plaza,
Phillips walked up to Gaffney and
handed him the newspaper.
"In this you will find proof that III
make good" he is alleged to have said.
O'Connell followed Phillips as he
walked away, and placed MN under ar
rest. Erb and Dwyer examined the
newspaper which had been handed to
Gafrney and found inside it 500 bill.
Phillips was then locked up, while
his political friends made efforts TO
reach Magistrate Leach that they might
furnish bail for his release.
Phillips experienced considerable diff
fculty in 1912 when he was removed by
Sheriff Quinn on a charge of having
violated the rules of his Office. During
the Sulzer Governorship he was named
purchasing agent Of the State Hospital.
when Mr.. Whitman became Governor
he removed Phillips. The politician
then brought action to show that as
he was a Spanish War veteran he could
not be dismissed.
As soon as these proceedings were
begun the Governor suspended Phillips
on charges, and he is now waiting trial
to test the strength of his statement
that he could not be removed.
