BROADEN SCOPE OF
TAPPING" PROBE
Two Separate Investiga-
tions Under Way in New
York Police Expose.

NEW YORK, May 25.--Two separ-
ate Investigations were continued
Wednesday into the wire tapping
operations or the New York police.
One was by the legislative committee
headed by Senator George +. Thomp-
son and the other by District Attorney
Edward Swami.
In his testimony, before the Thomp-
son committee, Mayor Mitchell reiter-
ated his charge that the telephone
w.res of Catholic clergymen and
others had been tapped before the
charities investigation because of the
discovery that there was con-
spiracy to discredit the city admins
tration and more particularly the de-
partment of charities headed by John
Kingsbury, who was indicted yester-
day for his part in the wire tapping
activities.
The mayor was attended by a squad
of detectives and his appearance in
the committee room was the signal
for considerable disorder. Counsel for
Rev. William B. Farrell, one of the
clergymen involved by the mayor in
his allegations of conspiracy, pro-
tested formally against permission
being given to have the conversations
read into the record.
The substance of the conversations
revealed by the mayor related chiefly.
apparently to ways and means for
keeping witnesses and evidence away
from the charities investigating com
mission. They told of efforts to dodge
process servers and in two or three
instances appeared to refer to the
supplying of funds which would en-
able certain persons to take trips to
Atlantic City. The names most fire.
quently mentioned by Mayor Mitchell
were those of Monsignor j. J. Dunn,
chancellor of the archdiocese of New
York; Father Farrell; Robert w.
Hebbard, formerly secretary of the
state board of charities. and Daniel
c. Potter, a former employe of the
city
Father Farrell announced tonight
that he intended to institute a civil
action against Mayor Mitchell charging
defamation of character.

IMPOSED UPON POOR
ROCK ISLAND ROAD
Supreme Court Holds That Commits
sion Shouldn't Have Ordered
Spur Built.
Special 10 The World.


OKLAHOMA CITY. May 25 The
corporation commission slightly eX-
ceeded its Jurisdiction when it ordered
the Rock Island railroad company to
construct the spur track from its line
to the plant of the Baker Cotton Oil
company at Hobart, according to a
decision of the supreme court today,
the opinion being written by Justice
Hardy. The grading for the proposed
spur track was done by the oil com
pany and it also agreed to pay for
the material and the labor, but the
commission ordered the railroad
company to do the work. Under the
constitution comforting powers upon
the commission the high court says
that in building private spur track
the commission may require the rail-
road company to place the frog and
switch in position and make a con-
nection to such a spur track after
1t has been constructed, but there Is
no authority to go further than that
and require the railroad company TO
construct the entire spur track. The

WOODEN GRANTED
RIGHT OF TRIAL
Supreme Court Overrules
Motion to Dismiss Case;
Seeks Vindication.

OKLAHOMA CITY, May "a. -
Frank Wooden, former mayor Of
Tulsa, won the second round Of his
fight for vindication in the supreme
court today when the motion of At
torney- 5. Prince Freezing to
dismiss the proceedings was over
ruled.
A short time ago Wooden appealed
the verdict returned by jury in the
district court of Tulsa to the supreme
court. Today the attorney general
moved to throw the proceedings out
of court on the ground that it was a
moot case. The supreme court
promptly overruled the motion and
the case will now go before the higher
tribunal on its merits.
Wooden seeks to establish the fact
that the action of a special grand jury
in ousting him from office was il
legal He will also attempt to prove
that the district court was preJudiced
against him and committed many err
rors during the progress of the trial
that followed the return of the accu-
sation.
The former head Of the city is
waging his fight for vindication of
the charges brought by the grand
| jury, as well as seeking remuneration
for the great amount of costs attached
to the trial held here.
Wooden's term as mayor would
have expired month ago and it was
on this ground that the attolney-gen-
eral asked that the case be thrown
out of court. Counsel for Wooden
were allowed five days to show cause
why this should not be done and the
victory over Freezing was the result.
BY winning in the supreme court.
Wooden can accomplish vindication,
as well as to avoid payments of costs
for the trial, which would revert on
the state.

DO YOU WEAR BLUE SERGE?
THEN WATCH FOR OFFICERS

BLACKWELL. Okla. May "a.
DO yegss always wear blue
serge suits? Frank Kinnan.
chief of police of this place,
and for many years peace
officer in oklahoma in the early
days. says they do, and he has =.
made a longtime study of the
matter. kinnan does not by
any means allege that every man
who wears a blue serge suit is a
yegg, but he does insist that
practically every yegg wears
one.
Many men are camped along
the Chickaskia river near this
place, and KinEan pointed to
the fact that practically every
one of them who was reasonably
we'll dressed at all had on
blue serge suit.
He says that he has found
this true in all of the experience
he has had as police officer
and sheriff, and many times had
identified a man in a crowd by
the fact that his serge suit point
ed him to be one Of the brand Of
men he was looking for.

GRAIN MEN FAVOR
FEDERAL MEASURES
Adjourn at Oklahoma City After En-
dorsing Rubcy Bill Now Pending
in Congress.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY. May 25.-En-
dorsing the Rubey bill. pending in
congress establishing uniform rules
and for the federal supervision of the
grading of grain and the Pomerene
bill for protection of the interests and
common law rights of the shippers,
the Oklahoma Grain Dealers associa-
ton this evening adjourned after the
election of officers for the next year.
Among other resolutions adopted by
the association was one that would
urge railroads to refuse to grant sites
for additional elevators, stations hav-
ing ample facilities to take care of the
grain tributary to that station. 1t was
pointed out in this respect that no
country elevator handling less than
seventy-five thousand bushels of grain
annually can profitably continue in
business on reasonable margin.
Want Shippers Saved.
Another resolution asked that the
shippers 10 be safeguarded at Calves
ton from flood by the extension of
Marine insurance to cover grain i'm
medately upon arrival there. In this
connection a telegram was read at
the session this afternoon from f. G.
Pettibone. second vice. president and
general manager of the Santa Fe, that
the company was preparing to imme-
diately raise the holding tracks in
order to get cars out of flood danger.
Considerable discussion was provok ed
relative to federal inspection offered
in the Rubey bill. A major portion
of the sentiment was favorable to the
bill "The act is the salvation OF
farmers" said II. J. Barr, expert
grain broker of New Orleans. "Eu-
rope will pay us for lust what we send
them"
INSPECTION of grain for export is
now being done BY each market.

DOUBLE TRACK VIADUCT
BUILT OVER DAN RIVER
Is Prominent Feature of Southern
Railway Improvements Between
Washington and Atlanta.

The prominent feature of the. double
track system now being laid between
Washington, d. c., and Atlanta, Ga, by
the Southern Railroad Company, is the
concrete double track viaduct over the
Dan river, at Danville. Va" is the
statement of that railway.
THE bridge is now in service as 10
the double track north of 1t, eompris-
ing 65 per cent of the new system, the
remainder of which is expected to be
finished within six months. This sys-
tenn runs through the Piedmont sec
tion of the south, along the eastern
slope of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny
mountains, entailing difficult engineer
ing feats in addition to the expenditure
of millions of dollars in money, The
expenditures for improvements. in and
around panville alone aggregate mil
lion and half dollars. r.
One of the most difficult engineering
accomplishments in Danville was the
moving of the railroad station across
the street to its place on the new line. a
distance of over fifty feet The station
is 4 two-story brick structure weigh
ing LOO tons. The moving of the
building instead of tearing il down
and building again, is economic in both
money and time.
