Many Organizations
Protest Labor Bills

Representatives of seventeen or
ganizations-civic, social, patriotic
and labor-gathered last night In the
Garden Theatre 70 voice an emphatic
protest against the Brown and John
son labor bills, now under consider
alton by the Legislature. The meas
ures, if they become laws, will per-
nit children as young as twelve to
work III factories or on the farms,
and will sweep away many safeguards
that have been won relative to hours
of employment for women.
Opposition to the bills was
voiced by Robert Bruere, who pre-
sided, in a letter from Professor f.
r. A. Seligman, Of Columbia Univer-
sity, and by Miss Mary Dingman. ma
tonal secretary Of the Young Wom-
ans Christian Association.
This resolution was passed:
"Be il resolved, that we, men and
women, representing seventeen organi-
zations, protest to the Legislature and
the Governor of this state against the
Brown and Johnson bills, which ignore
English and French experience, which
would curtail efficient production and
which would sap the strength and
health Of the children and working
women of the state at time when true
patriotism demands the most careful
conservation Of our resources and our
people"

Swami Wanted
Ex-Aid Indicted,
Witness Swears
Says He Was Asked About
Furnishing Evidence
Against Delehanty

Testimony purporting to show that
District Attorney Swami sought the
indictment of former Judge James A.
Delehanty after the latter filed the
original charges against the Prose
cutor was introduced yesterday by the
City Club at the trial of the Swami
charges before Commissioner Ingra-
ham.
Charles Gibel, a garment presser,
out of work, said he had made a state
ment to Assistant District Attorney
Dooling last February that Mr.: Dele
hanty, while an Assistant District At
torney, had given him money to pro-
cure a false witness in the Leibowitz
murder case, which grew out Of the
garment workers strike of 1910.
"Mr Dooling and Assistant District
Attorney Talley," said Gibel, asked
me if | could give them enough evil
dence against Judge Delehanty to have
him indicted"
When you told Mr.. Dooling that
Mr.. Delehanty had paid you money
TO procure false witness were you
telling the truth ?" asked John X,
Clark, of counsel for the City Club.
ut was a lie.' replied Gibel.
Gibel brought in the name of Max
Hart, the oft-indcted real estate
broker who was instrumental in provid-
ing surety for A. L. Wilson, the prin-
cipal witness, against forr..er Assistant
District Attorney Breckenridge.
Gibel testified that Assistant District
Attorney Markewich put him in a room
with Wilson, and that Wilson gave him
the name and address of Hart. The wit
ness said he visited Hart at his home
on February 8, when Hart took him
out 10 dinner and brought him down TO
the District Attorneys Office in an au-
tomoble.
Gibe started to tell what Hart said
to him about how he should testify,
when Commissioner Ingraham ruled
out the details of the conversation on
the ground that il was not material.
Gibef was allowed, however. to tell that
Hart gave him $40 on that occasion and
S25 a few days later. This, according
to Gibel, was before he had made all
his statements to Mr.. Dooling. After
that, said the witness, Mr. Markewich
caused Louis Schnide, business agent
of the union, to get him union book
and card, with dues for year paid in
advance. Gibel also swore that Marke-
witch had given him S55.
The hearings will be resumed on
May 10.

His Mirth Over Restaurant Raid
Vanishes When He Is Jailed

"Bombs!" A hoarse whisper in Spe-
cial Patrolman Conners's ear made him
jump, despite the dignity of his khaki
uniform and the fact that he was
guarding the western end of Brooklyn
Bridge.
He faced the whisperer, man OF
ruddy countenance and potent breath,
and demanded details. He got them.
Three minutes later Conners knew all

Rookie Policemen
Warned To Be Alert
Apparent Peace in Streets
May Be Blind, Woods Tells
Graduating Glass

Police Commissioner Arthur Woods
yesterday warned the graduating class
of police recruits not to be deceived
by the apparent peace in the streets Of
the city. At any time, said the Com
missioner, the tranquility might prove
q blind.
"No job is as hard as that of a po-
liceman, particularly at this time" de-
clared Mr.. Woods. "The streets are
quiet, everything seems orderly. But
we are apt to be deceived.
"A state of war imposes particular
duties and hardships on the police, but
even in war our job should be the
same. Keep the peace, no matter how
much force is necessary to keep it. It
is no easy task 20 police such city
in these times. but the force has so
far proved equal to the task"
SiXty-four recruits were graduated,
two weeks late, because the men were
sent out TO augment the regular force
when war was declared. The grsdua-
tion exercises were conducted by the
commanding officer of the training
school, Charles S. Schofeld, and his
assistants. The exercises consisted of
a manual of arms, jiu-jitsu exercises,
wrestling bouts, fire escape climbing,
boxing and calisthenics. Mothers ard
sisters OF the recruits crowded the
galleries.
Among those present were Rear
Admiral Usher, Walter W. Prince,
Ebert II. Gary, Fl. n. Hampstead,
owner of the New York National
League baseball team; George V. Post.
J. A. Stilman, Frank A. Stokes, Mrs.
Arthur Woods and the general staff
officers of the Home Defence League.
