Oil Man Indicted
In $4,000 Swindle
J. McV. Richmond Accused
of Fraud in Scheme to
Reclaim Gasolene

One Of the cleyerest swindles ever
perpetrated BY confidence men in this
city came TO light yesterday with the
Indictment OF John McVickar Rich
mond. Of the Oil and Waste Products
Company, West Thirty-fourth Street.
charged with obtaining $4,000 under
false pretences from Jesse 4. Wilson,
a former coke and coal dealer, OF 1
Broadway.
The scheme consisted of making Will
son believe that there was a rich cap
italist in Boston who was willing TO
take up the controlling interest in
Richmond's "Oil Reclamation Com
pany," which had a secret process fer
reclaiming gasolene from the drain
pipes in garages. IL is charged that
Wilson was told il would be necessary
10 give the fire commissioner of Bos-
ton $500 because the business was
contrary to the city ordinances.
The scheme necessitated a dummy
fov the Boston banker. so Alexander
McPherson. superannuated hotel
clerk. also under indictment. was riSged
out in some expensive clothes and sent
on 70 Boston on one of the New
Haven's crack trains, while Richmond
with Reginald Beecroft, the "in-
former" in the case. took Wilson TO
Boston in a later train.
At the first meeting Wilson was in
duced 70 deposit mis- check for $4,000

saw them dividing the money. Bee
croft told the grand jury that instead
OF having scheme for separating gas
olene from waste oil. Richmond's COM
pany had for its chief occupation sepa-
rating Wilson from his money.
When Wilson realized that he had
been duped he was told that he had
been legal accomplice in the bribery
transaction. and it was not until re-
Gently when Wilson went through the
bankruptcy courts that the facts about
the swindle came out. Beecroft told
District Attorney Swami that he has
been a collector for the National High
ways Protective Society of West
Thirty-fourth Street, of which Colonel
Edward S. Cornell is secretary and
manager. He said he obtained SO 1-3
per cent commission on all money
which he obtained for the society.
Richmond was arraigned yesterday
before Judge Grain in General Ses-
sons and was held in $4,000 bail.

One More Patient
Dies in Heatless
Insane Asylum
80 Inmates of Institution
Near Newark Frostbitten
in Last Frigid Spell
I.Staf CorresDondencel

NEWARK. y. j., Dec. 2l.-While the
grand jury was at the Essex County
Hospital for the Insane at Overbrook
to-day. investigating the lack of heat
in the institution. another patient died.
This made the third death in twenty
four hours and twenty-seyen so far
this month. Dr. Guy Payne. medical
Superintendent, could not say how
many, If any, of these deaths were due
TO the fact that the hospital, housing
500 patients, has been practically
without heat during the last cold spell
because of delay in installing ne"
boilers.
"Many Of the dead patients he said,
"were persons Of low vitality. Such
persons need warm, comfortable
room. How many, if any, OF these
three would have lived If their rooms
had been heated /, of course, cannot be
certain
The grand jurors wore their over
coats as they toured the hospital, wit
Messing the plight of the patients. One
Juror turned up the collar of his coat.
They visited some wards which had
no heat at all. In two wards they saw
stoves which had no fire in them.
Faulty hues in these two wards made
the patients prefer the chill TO the coal
gas that filed the rooms when the
stoves we're fired earlier in the day.
In other wards they saw stoves burn
ing briskly enough, but inadequate TO
heat such large rooms.
DR.. Payne hopes for relief by Janu-
airy /. Workmen on night and day
shifts are trying to install one OF the
new boilers by that time.
Thirty patients were frostbitten m
the last cold spell. Twenty-seven pa
ticnts have died thus far this month.
Eight died during the entire month
last year and fourteen the year be-
fore. The vision Of what might hap
pen if any more zero weather comes
along before the new boiler is in
stalled caused DR.. Payne yesterday 10
mail notices TO relatives OF hospital
patients frankly telling them Of hos
pital conditions.
The result was that to-day twenty
five patients were removed All day
long relatives focked to the hospital.
Some came IN closed limousines to
take away "their patient" Others,
who have neither a place at home for
a patient nor the money 20 send them
70 a private hospital, brought warm
bedding and clothing, oil stoves. cleo
trio heaters, etc.
There came one woman who walked
through the mile and a half of siush
to save the l0-cent "jitney" fec. An
attendant told that she has been visit
ing that hospital every Friday for
years. She always brings something
for "her patient" as she calls him.
Sometimes il is only an apple. Her
husband became afflicted seventeen
years ago. two years after their mar
riage. She was nineteen when she
married. Yet to-day her hair is gray.

The lad, who shot down his playmate
as the aftermath of quarrel over q
baseball game, smiled in satisfaction
as he left the courtroom for the Tombs.
He was apparently perfectly calm while
he sat and watched the jury file in.
As they took their seats he turned and
whispered to Louis Jacobs. guard:
"Look at those ; they have
convicted me-"
Justice Gotf will pronounce sentence
on December 2S At one time during
the jury's debating Timmy's life hung
by a thread the votes of three men.
The other nine were for q verdict Of

fact that the youth of the boy must

for coal there is. so fuel admnistrs-
ton officials indicate, little cooperation
or teamwork between city officials, on
the one hand. and railroad officials, on
the other. in solving labor problems
Competition for Labor
Mr.. Schley said that yesterday one
railroad company recruited a force OF
ffty men 70 unload cars at tidewater
After the men had been at work for a
few hours an agent Of the Department
Of Streets came along. and offered the
laborers more money 20 clear the
streets OF snow. Mr Schley said he
walked Of with forty of the laborers.
Mr.. Schley denied Indignantly yes
terday the statement Of representa-
tives of building managers that the
reports Of coal receipts in New York
CITY as made public Of late by his
Office were false. Mr.. Schley said he
might have been mistaken. but that he
resented the charge Of giving out false
statements. He declared about $4,000
tons were brought into the city yester-
day. but that on the whole distribu-
tion of coal from tidewater points was
greatly hampered by heavy fog that
retarded the removal OF blrges. There
are now about $4,000 tons OF anthracite
al Jersey terminals, Mr.. Schley stated.
The marginal profit on coal will prob
ably be fixed to-day, the Fuel Admins
traitor said. Joseph A. Hall, Deputy
Fuel Administrator, said there were
2.39O tons Of coal on hand IN Ine
Bronx yesterday.
The seriousness Of the coal situation
was made apparent at meeting Of an
thracite mine owners. held in the Office
Of County Fuel Administrator Schley,
65 Broadway. Yesterday afternoon. Il
was admitted there was less fuel in
New York City than ten days ago, when
the town was in a panic over the short
age. The miners said the increase IN
manufacturing for war purposes was
largely responsible for the coal short
age.
James A. Hall, deputy fuel admins
traitor for The Bronx, said the time for
all optimism in the coal situation was
past. and that he expected a greater
coal shortage in a month than now.

Legislature to Get
A Record Budget
OF S9S,1l4,686
Whitman and Appropria-
ton Committee Trying to
Reduce 1t to $84, 100000
By BRIGGS
Especial Correspondence


ALBANY, Dec. 2l.-Figures made
public tonight by State Controller
Travis show that Governor Whitman
and the Legislature will have q difficult
problem this winter keeping appropria-
tions for the session much below the
s90,O00.000 mark.
Estimated revenues for the fiscal year
l9l8-19l9 are given by the Controller
at S69525, 1887. There will be direct
tax of at least sl3,O17SO5 for the state
highway and canal sinking fund pay
ments, and probably a direct tax Of
s5,OO0,OO0 or s6,O0OOOO in addition.
Governor Whitman's budget commit
tee and the legislative budget commits
sion hope to be able to slice the re-
quested appropriations of s9s,114,6S6,
the largest in the history of the state,
20 under SS4 100000. This amount will
be increased by the passage OF an
emergency appropriation bill of from
S3,OOO,O00 to s5,000,00O to make up de-
iciencies in appropriations for food
fuel and clothing for state institutions
due TO the increased cost of these COM
modities. Unforeseen expenditures
probably will bring the total up to
nearly S90,000,000.
Controllers Estimates
The appropriations last year totalled
S7S,742,s34, including such emergen, ,y
appropriations as S2,600,O00 for the
Rockaway fortiiications; s2,500,0O0 for
the National Guard, state defence coun-
ell and food supply commission; ST.
100000 to pay for judgments against
the state, and about s850,000 70 paw
back bills for state printing.
The State Controller estimates the 3
per cent net income tax on manufactur-
ing and mercantile corporations will
give the state sl5,000,0 next ear
The state gets two-thirds Of the tax.
the rest going to the localities, so this
means the total tax on these CORPORA
tions is expected to be 22,500,000
OF the budget requests, S52,i97ls3
is for administration, maintenance and
operating expenses. Nearly 5000. 900
is requested for support Of the common
schools and state highway aid work.
OuIidyS IOF new DullulnRs, construction
and the purchase of land and improve
ments take up sl7,942 $40 of the re-
quests. and il is on these items that
Governor Whitman is expected 10 put
his test: Is it necessary in view OF the
war; can it be postponed?
Increases In Requests
The requests show increases OF So
9S8, sos, or SO per cent, for food; ST.
42l. .603, or 100 per cent, for fuel. light.
power and water. and sl,72G,906, or
