WHITMAN SAYS
HE DID HIS DUTY
TOWARD CASSIDY
Governor Defends His Action in
Restoring Ex-Queens Boss
to Citizenship
by Telerap to The ThbuneI

Albany. Jan. Ex-Governor Whitman
to-day issued public statement in de-
fence of his restoration to citizenship
Of "Curly Joe" Cassidy, former boss OF
Queens. The Governors action has
caused much adverse criticism through
out the state. lie declared dehantly,
however. that he intended to use his
power as seemed TO him right.
Examination of the Cassidy docket
to-day revealed that most of the letters
to the Governor urging him to act came
from neghbors of Cassidy, who testi-
fed to his good behavior since he quit
Jail. The leading advocate was Sem
ator-elect William VI. Calder The
Governor said tonight that he did not
recall whether Mr. Calder had written
or made an oral appeal, but no Calder
letter appeared in the Cassidy docket
From some communications when
/ am receiving" said the Governor, Il
Judge that the impression has been
created in certain quarters that Joseph
Cassidy was released from prison on
the Governors pardon. The fact IS
that. having served his term in prison,
Cassidy was released at the expiration
of that term, more than a year ago.
at has been my invariable rule 20
grant requests of eX-convicts for res
toration TO citizenship. where the con-
victs were first offenders. have COM
pleted their terms in prison and have
conducted themselves properly for a
wear thereafter. This policy has met
with the general approval of the prison
associations and prison reformets
throughout the country. | do not be-
lieve in deriving an ex-convict of citi-
zenship a single day after he has paid
the penalty imposed by the court and
served out his term in prison"

Then he turned upon the Bond boy

lie clung fast until a poodle belonging
to Peter Franklin, Of 1876 Maple Street,
and fast friend of the lads, came to

The collie was the heavier dog, and
he had the strength of madness, but
the poodle held him fast until Sergeant
Nathaniel Minnion arrived. lie tried to
separate the dogs with blows Of his
nightstick, whereupon the collie at
tackled him, grabbing his arm.
Minnion's coat protected his flesh,
and he had shot the dog before the
sharp teeth pierced through
The Mccormick lad, who lives on
Schenectady Avenue. and Bond, who
lives at 1913 Lefferts Avenue, were taken
to the Queens County Hospital. The

toned in Libel Action

A hint that 100000 tons of sugar

000 damages for libel brought in the

against jacques Krassney, of 2l2 West
Eighty-ffth Street.

He was released in $1,000 bail. Bauer,

represents the London Stock Exchange
firm of Solomon & Co.
Bauers suit is based on two causes
of action, one a letter written by Krass-
ney to Louis +. Whicher. stock brok-
er. for which the plaintiff asks $4,000,
and another 10 Ernest Breisach, for
which he sues for $4,000.

PENDANT attributes to Bauer state
nent that he has cousin in Austria

RAILROAD SOLD OIL LAND
UNAWARE OF ITS VALUE
II. L. Huntington Tells How Southern
Pacific Distributed Acres

That the Southern Pacific Railroad
had sold its oil bearing lands IN Call-
fornia before petroleum had been ols-
covered there in marketable quantities
was the substance Of testimony OF
Henry f. Huntington, nephew Of CONS
p. Huntington, and G. II. Markham
president Of the Illinois Central, yes,
terdsy. They testified at the Federal
Building in the governments case
against the Southern Pacific and otner
roads. -,
The land was patented by the United
States to the Southern Pacific in 1924.
Oil was discovered in paying amounts
in 1899. Between these two dates, MI;
Huntington said, the road had followed
it's policy of developing the country
through an unrestricted sale OF land
Mr.. Markham, who was formerly with
the Southern Pacific, told how a pas
senger agent had shown him squat
ter's cabin in the Kern River district
where a gushing jet of natural gas fur,
nished the inhabitants with light and
fuel. The passenger agent told him, he
said, that oil must be present, but ne
was not impressed, since Standard OIL
experts had surveyed the country and
had reported that oil was not there IN
large amounts.
At the conclusion of the testimony
the court adjourned to meet in Wash
ington next week.

Patients Do Not Have to
Wait Long for Boat,
Captain Asserts
EMERSON EXPLAINS
RICHMOND DELAY
Hints That Better Ambu'
lance Service Will Be
Given Borough

The charge Of Bellevue Hospital ply
sicians and trustees that city patients
going from the hospital to BlsckweiIs
Island had been subjected to long eX-
posure while waiting for boat transfer
at the foot of Twenty-sixth Street was
denied yesterday by Health Department
officials.
CAPTAIN James Z. Johnson, in charge
of the boats, and Theodore Lang SUI
pervisor of pier operations, made the
counter charge that the Bellevue nos
pital authorities had neglected thelr
own duties in the transfer TO ana re
ception of patients from Blackweli :
Island. u,.t.
AT the same time Deputy Health
Commissioner Wright announced tha'
the system Of boat transfer OF city pa
tients TO the island would soon give
way TO the use of elevators from the
Greensboro Bridge.
All Go Through Bellevue
According TO johnson and Lang, all
city patients intended for the Metro
poiitan Hospital on the island go
through Bellevue, and from the time
they leave the hospital to the time they
are placed on the boats are IN direct
charge of a Bellevue nurse. lhey
showed reporters steam heated rooms
at the pier. in which. they said, the
nurse has her charges placed:
at is the fault of the Bellevue peo-
ple if an unreasonable delay occurs at
the pier" Captain Johnson and Lang
said.
Dr. Haven Emerson, Health Commits
sioner, last night issued statement IN
explanation of the nine-hour delay IN
getting an ambulance to the home OF
Mary Dauco. who was acutely III with
diphtheria at her home, % Murray
Street. Staten Island, and who died
soon after her Nmoval 10 the Staten
Island Hospital, at New Brighton.
1t says that an automobile ambulance
from Willard Parker Hospital was
called into service in the case. The
rear axle Of this ambulance broke three
miles from the patients home. A sec
ond ambulance was sent out, reaching
the Dauco home at 10 p. m. The cali
was received at 1902. m.
Dr. Emerson explained that horse
drawn ambulance was maintained by
his department in Staten Island, ana
an automobile was held in reserve for
calls received when the regular vehicle
was out on duty. In the Dauco case the
Willard Parker ambulance was used
because it should have reached the pa
tient much sooner than the horse
drawn ambulance cou.d. He intimated
that the city would establish an auto
mobile ambulance service for conta-
gious cases on Staten Island.

Albany, Jan. 24.-The first attempt 70
arouse in the Legislature discussion
Of the controversy between the Ma
tional Guard and the regular army was
practically squelched to-day. when AS
semblyman Frederick A. Wells intro
duced his resolution calling for an in
vestigation Of the Guard. Assembly
man Wells is lieutenant colonel OF the
Odd Regiment, of Brooklyn, and he adj
mitted that the purpose Of his resolu-
tion was TO find out If the criticisms
which have been directed against the
Guard since its trick of duty on the
border were justified.
Speaker Sweet declared his opposi-
ton to the investigation. lie said that
he was against any Legislative investl-
CATION which the public did not actu-
ally demand, and he could see no rea-
son why the state should spend $1,000
for this inquiry. The resolution was
then referred to the Ways and Means
Committee, where it probably will re-
main.
