threat to tear things wide OPEN

tapping of telephone wires in 'connec-
ton with the recent charities investi-
gation-was executed yesterday after
noon before the Thompson legislative
committee. ssfsl -.>
1T did not get as far as the mayor
intended because the committee re-
fused to listen to recital of the con-
versations reported over the tapped
telephone lines.
The mayor charged that during the
entire life of the present city admin
istration there has been a well or
ganized and purposeful conspiracy con-
Quoted by number Of co-religionists OF
my own, acting with other persons to
obstruct the due process Of govern
ment, to Interfere with the proper and
orderly conduct Of the government, and
with the proper and orderly conduct
or control of the private charitable in
stitutions of thescity." &
Mayor Mitchell implicated these per-
sons, either individually or acting in
concert in four crimes which 1t was
charged by the administration had been
committed by them He said they were
perjury, criminal libel, conspiracy to
utter a criminal libel and conspiracy to
perEert ands, obstruct justice and pre-
vent the due administration Of the
law. s,S se. . ,E
II was to get evidence Of these sus-
pected crimes he said. that the tele-
phone wires Of the Rev. William B.
Farrell, Catholic clergyman of Brook
| lyn; DR.. Daniel c.. Potter. and his son,
Dean Potter, were tapped by order OF
the police commissioner.
The administration, he said. was
prompted to order the tapping of the
telephones because there were serious
grounds for believing that there existed
a conspiracy on the part Of certain
priests OF the Catholic church, this
man Potter, Hebberd (Robert wv. Heb
berd, former secretary Of the state
board OF charities), and others to per-
vert Justice, ohstruct the due admin

Allies Promise to
Restore serbia to-
People Independent

Athens, via London, May 24.-Prince
Alexander Of Serbia, regent of Kine
Peters landess king dom, in an inter-
view today with arepresentative a of the
Associated Press, said that he had as
surances of all the allies that no settle
ment OF the war would be accepted
which did not provide for the rest6ra-
tionSof Serbia
Il receive YOU" he said, ito prove
how deeply appreciate the tone Of the
American press, which, while defending
the sacred liberty Of all peoples, has
thereby rendered justice, to our rights
to exist as an independent nation.
Serbia desires to live in peace but5only
on conditions that its culture and lam
guage are respected. !" -
The prince chatted unaffectedly Of
the hardships which he and his troops
had endured ins their retreat thru AL
bania. Always, however, he returned
to the one thought which filled his
mind-the driving of the invaders from
his country. t,s<
while Waiting for the deliverance,
aur poor population in Serbia has suf-
fered terribly from the cruel regime
under which they now live It is noth-
Ing new for those who know what took
place in Belgium and the invaded-prov-
sinces of Russia and France, What is
new, however, and what is worse than
ANYTHING OF the sort yet seen. is the
application of Bulgarian methods to
the part Of our country they occupy
The prince spoke with deep emotion
of the efforts of Americans to aid the
suffering Serb civilians. Suddenly, as
II oppressed by dwelling too long on
the trials Of his countrymen, he jumped
up and said:
Come along, I am goingJto review
some regiments, and will show you
soldiers who are ready for anything,
because they have lost everything"
AS the khaki clad Serbs filed by,
brave and proud in their new uniforms
and In perfect physical trim, the face
OF the prince regent took an exalted ex-
preston as he saluted each passing
flag i,.,s4 e g's
Some Of the soldiers were gray haired
men and some were mere boys. Many
of them had been4under arms con-
stantly for six years. ssss1. "a.
They are completely restored" said
the prince, ..andas nothing better than
to come to grips with the invaders OF
their native land 5sS }s
Just then a company Of the famous
Men OF Mowara valley" swept past
big. blond, deep-chested men, in the
full flower OF their manhood. Prince
Alexander's face lit up as he, saluted
them. Suddenly he cried, Forward,
Serbia" The company came to a halt,
swung around as one man. and looked
their future sovereign eye to eye.
The prince regent turned to the cor
responde his eyes lighting behind his
glasses, his cqlntenance shining like
that Of Crusader. You see,''s. he said
