Marty" Fay, Made Detective Sergeant for Bravery ii
Fatal Duel with Burglars, Ordered Back to Uni
form Duty-Wil Have to Retire Friends Saw.

A physical wreck from wounds re-
ceived in the performance of his duty,
Detective Sergeant Marty" Fay lost
yesterday his assignment as a first
grade detective and was ordered by
Commissioner Woods to do uniform
duty in the West 125th Street station.
The Commissioner in his order gives
no reason for his action. Close friends
of Fay last night said that the order
meant he would have to apply for re-
tirement.
Fay was attached TO the Detective
Bureau in 1912 and was working under
the old precinct system at the West
Tooth Street station. For months re-
ports of burglaries in which the prin-
cipal was servant poured into the
bureau.
Suspicion centred on Joseph Vogel
and a woman who was said 70 be his
wife. Fay led his companions to the
room the two occupied and broke in
the door. As Fay announced the bust
ness Of the invaders the woman hand
ed Vogel an automatic revolver. Be-
fore Fay could draw his gun the thief
began firing. The woman also emptied
her revolver.
One of the insurance Investigators
with Fay was killed, the other wound
ed and Fay was shot through the right
side of the abdomen, the steel bullet
going through the back. Lying on the
floor in a dying condition, Fay killed
both Vogel and the woman. Later the
police recovered thousands of dollars
in loot stolen by the pair.
Waldo was then Commissioner. Fay

Navy Enthusiastic Over
Edison as a Recruit

Washington, July 12.-Secretary
Daniels was greatly pleased tonight
when told Mr.. Edison had accepted his
proposition. H.
Naval officers generally were enthu--
siastic at the proposed innovation and
predicted that once the new bureau was
in existence great Improvements IN the
navy's construction and organization
would follow.
1t is the purpose Of Secretary Daniels
TO consult with Mr.. Edison at the hrst
opportunity concerning other men VINO
are trained in special lines of scien-
tfic and inventive research work VINO
might be associated with the bureau.
One of the first problems for the
new bureau will be that Of improving
the navy's submarines and aeroplanes.
There is at present no American made
engine satisfactory for aeroplane use
nor have submarine engines or bat
teries been perfected to the satistac-
ton of naval officers. Mr.. Edison IS
the inventor OF new batteries being
placed on the latest submarine craft.
from which great things are expected:
An important duty of the Bureau of
Invention and Development will be to
scrutinize plans which are continually
DelnR received ~ inc -'e'S DSP"t '''N'
from officers at sea.
Secretary Daniels has not decided
what officer Of the navy would be best
fitted for the position of chief Of the
proposed bureau. The names of sew
eral have been mentioned, including
Rear Admiral Fiske, former aid for
operations and now assigned to duty
at the Naval War College, Newport;
Rear Admiral Strauss. chief of the Blu
reau of Ordnance. and Rear Admiral
Taylor. chief of the Bureau of Con-
struction and Repair.

CIRCUIT DENIES
BANK DECEPTION
Puts Responsibility for Union
Institution Crash Up to State
Officials.

Responsibility for the shaky condi-
ton Of the Union Bank just before it
closed its doors in 1910 was put direct
" up to the State Banking Department
by Edward NJ Grout. the then presi-
dent, at his trial yesterday on charges
Of perjury before County Judge Lewis
in Brooklyn. He asserted repeatedly
that asset items which the indictment
alleges he overstated in his report to
the Banking Department just before
the bank failed had been passed by the
department in three successive investi-
cations and reports on the condition
of the bank.
Grout Indignantly denied that he had
the slightest intention of decelving
the Banking Department. To use his
own words, he took the department.
into his confidence and talked his
heart out" to the examiners. He made
il plain he considered himself the vic
tim of circumstances growing out OF
an unwilling acceptance of the presi-
dency of the bank.
"When you swore to the bank report
did you know the items were not pop
erly carried as loans?" asked his coun-
sell
"There was never a suggestion that
they were enormously carried" replied
| Grout.
"Did you have any intention of de-
ceiving the banking officials as to those
itoms?"
Certainly not"
The cross-examination Of Mr.. Grout
will probably begin on Thursday or
Friday of this week, and the case will
probably not go to the jury before next
Wednesday or Thursday. The trial be-

M'CORMACK'S JOB
SOUGHT BY THREE
O'Grady, Pitou and BostWick
Seek Election Thursday
Funeral Tomorrow.

In spite Of the fact that the three
aldermen from the Borough of Rich
mond, who, under the charter, must
elect successor TO Borough President
Charles j. Mccormack, who died on
Sunday, nave agreed not to discuss the
matter until after the funeral to-mor-
row, friends of possible candidates
have not hesitated to press their
claims.
The aldermen from Richmond are
William Fink, John J. O'Rourke and
Charles P. Cole. All are Democrats, as
was President Mccormack. Under the
charter, the Mayor must call on the
aldermen to fill a vacancy forthwith"
and it is understood Thursday will be
the date of the election.
Gossip has associated Alderman
O'Rourke with the nomination for
Sheriff to succeed Joseph F. O'Grady,
who has become a power in Democratic
circles. This may have resulted in the
talk that O'Rourke will vote for
O'Grady for Borough President and
will try 70 get his colleagues to do the
same.
Spire Pitou. jr., who, as Commits
sionor Of Public Works, has been act
ing Borough President for much Of the
time during President McCormack's six
months illness, believes he is in line
of succession. While he and the Pres
ident were close personal friends, Mr..
Pitou, il is said, will have TO make a
strong fight if he lands the place over
other candidates.
Friends of C. Livingston Rostwick,
who has been County Clerk for several
years, are urging him to be a candi-
date, on the theory that it would make
him virtually county leader if he were
elected.
Members of the Board of Estimate at
special meeting held in the City
Hall yesterday afternoon expressed
their keen sorrow" over the death of
Charles j. Mccormack, President of
Richmond Borough, who had been a
member of the board since January,
1914.

tire Fay on his full salary as a token
OF the public's appreciation of the

portant amendments TO the constitu-
ton, vitality affecting the states fnan-

nights session of the convention by
Henry L. Stimson, chairman of the
Committee on State Finance. The
measures amend Sections 2, 4, and
II of Article Z.
The provision in Section 2 limiting
the amount the State Controller may
borrow for immediate necessities IN an
ticipation of revenues is stricken out.
The proposal gives the Controller
power to meet, with moneys from cur
rent revenues, casual deficits and con-
tract debts for purposes for which ap-
propriations have been made on notes
or revenue bonds payable within year,
together with the accrued interest.
Section as amended provides That
so-called serial bonds shall be substi-
tuted for the long term bonds now is
sued by the state. and that the prln-
oipal Of the debt shall be discharged
within fifty years, on annual install
ments beginning a year after the issa-
ance Of the bonds.
The amendment also prohibits the
Legislature from enacting any law
which would contract a debt until the
chief engineer having the proposed I'M
rrovement N charge shall have nrst
certified the probable life OF the I'M
rrovement. THESE bonds must be re
deemed not later than year after the

The amendments also provide tnat
whenever the funds equal the debts Tor
which they were created the bonds may
be retired by purchase before maturity
The proposals also strike out the
amendments made in 1905, when pro-
vide for sinking fund contribute ons in
stead of direct tax. The amended Sec
ton II provides that the Legislature
shall appropriate sufficient moneys to

Washington, July 12.-Consular re-

that Villa forces have defeated General

Celaya was the scene of Obrgeon's
great victory last April, after which he
pushed Villas army north along the
line over which he has just retreated.
The report further states that obregon

the Carranzistas in Mexico City.
Officials here believe Obregon's fail
