Aldermen May Investigate
Urged to Ascertain How Po-
lice Follow Up Complaints

At Yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Aldermen President Bowling laid be-
fore the members letter he had re-
ceived from Dr. William II. Allen, di-
rector of the Institute of Public Ser
vice, suggesting an aldermanic inquiry
into the methods employed by the Po-
lice Department in following up the
complaints of citizens.
DR.. Allen said that such an investiga-
ton would be opportune in view of the
failure of the police in the Cruger
case.
The letter was referred TO the Com
mittee on Rules. President Bowling
stated that if the committee decided
the Allen letter should be fsvorably
acted upon an investigating committee
would be appointed.

Is Held as Aids
On Confession
OF Mrs. Hyman
Magnetic Woman Charges
Conspiracy Against Fl,
Including Accusers
By BRIGGS

Mrs. Ray LYMAN, the magnetic
woman banker, who paid her eager
customers so per cent month until
her assets were reduced to SIS and an
old set of false teeth, made confes-
sion yesterday during her examina-
tion in bankruptcy proceedings before
United States Commissioner Gilchrist.
She accused twenty-one persons, men
and women, Of conspiring TO make her
a dupe to defraud hundreds of others.
These, she said, got their 90 per cent
a month, and they urged others to in
vest, and out of the money OF these
victims Mrs. Lyman was able to pay
big profits to the instigstors Of the
plan.
This kept up, Mrs. Lyman said, until
the bubble burst and she was facing
ruin. Her plan, she said, was 70 go
into bankruptcy and save 100000 in
claims against her, but those who had
profited most by her scheme tried 10
brighten her into leaving the country
and even tried TO drown and rob her.
she said.
Tried to Drown Her
The attempt on her life, she said,
was made when she was boarding a
launch at City Island with her bust
ness associates, intending to make a
trip TO Oyster Bay. Mrs. Hyman said
the small boat was intentionally upset
and she would have drowned but for
outside aid. She said she had more
than $4,000 in her clothing, and when
she got the money package back after
it had been dried about $4,000 had been
stolen.
Mrs. Lyman also testified that Ed
ward NJ. Grossman, one of her prin-
cipal hackers, who sought to force her
into bankruptcy, visited her in Mount
Vernon about two weeks ago and told
her he would give her up 10 the police
if she did not give him $4,000. Gross
man and his wife, Nellie Grossman,
did surrender the woman into the
hands of the police at the Kings High
way station of the Brighton Beach line
last Friday night.
A copy OF Mrs. Hyman's confession
was given TO Assistant District Attor-
ney Colnon, and grand jury investi-
cation will be started in a few days.
Mrs. Hyman says she will waive i'm
munity and be witness against her
accusers, whom she charges with con-
spiracy.
Thirteen Accusers Arrested
Thirteen of the persons she accuses
were arrested at the hearing before
Commissioner Gilchrist. They are:
Mr.. and Mrs. Grossman and the for
mer's father, Samuel Grossman; Mrs
Birdie Leavy, sister of Grossman, and
her husband, George Leavy; Leonard
Bait, Mrs. Hyman's bookkeeper; Sol
Simon and his wife, Ray Simon; Harry
Ehrman and his partner in the cloth
ing business, Harry Schiller; Ehrman's
wife, Martha Ehrman; Frank Starkman
and Barney Glanzreit. Warrants for
the other eight were handed to the
District Attorney. Those arrested were
held in $4,000 bail by United States
Commissioner Hitchcock.

Ezra Hull Revived on Way to
the Morque

An electric current of 1920 volts
shot through the body Of Ezra Hull at
a power plant Of the Public Service
Company, in Orange, n. j., early yes
terday morning. When an ambulance
arrived from the Memorial Hospital
the attendants didn't even attempt to
revive Hull. Beyond all question, they
decided, he was dead. The ambulance
started for the morgue with the body.
Half way there Hull's right foot shot
out, struck one of the attendants on
the chest and knocked him down. A
swift change in direction took the am
bulance to the hospital, where it was

Evidence Found in Tunnel

In the clothing found in the murder
tunnel Mr.. Swami believes he has i'm
portant evidence. The police turned
over 20 him yesterday three khaki uni
forms and two civilian suits. and IN
the pockets of the uniforms were found
certain possessions which it is believed
will have significant bearing Upon the
case.
The prosecutor said he had very
clear opinion about the clothing, but
he would neither explain his statement
nor describe the contents Of the khaki
outfits.
A report that one of the uniforms
fitted Victor Blady, the chauffeur who
is held as material witness, was
neither confirmed nor denied by As
sistant District Attorney Dooling. he
said that Blady, who was examined
again yesterday, had given him the
names of three other chauffeurs who
freouented the store, and that detec-
tives were seeking them.
Owner of Suit Found
All of the clothing is being traced by
dealers marks, and this led TO the as
covery that gray civilian SUIT 1ouhu
\ in the hole had been bought by Dusl-
ness man at a Broadway tallors. NO
! exclamation could be offered Tor It's
presence in Cocchi's shop, but the Tor
mer owner has been found, and he is
expected to clear up the mystery to-
day when he goes to the prosecutors
Office.
Blady's story that he was in Cocchfs
shop between 9 and $3.50 o'clock on
the night the Cruger girl disappeared
and at no other time was contradlcted
Yesterday by Henry RomeHe, the four
teen-year old boy who ran errands for
the Italian. Romelle told one of the
District Attorneys assistants yester-
dav that he saw the chauffeur in the
/ store between $3.50 and o'clock that
evening. 1t was intimated that the
boy might give more important testl-
nony later.
The belief that the girls murderer
had accomplices was confirmed by As
sictant District Attorney Dooling at
the conclusion of the days investiga-
ton
Three facts, he said, proved it:
First, the tool box in the shop
weighed ZOO pounds and could not be
lifted by one man.
Second. the removal of the hot air
fue and its replacement after the girl
had been dropped through the I'M
/ provised trap required at least two
persons.
Third, more than one person helped
! carry away from the premises the
earth that was taken from the tunnel
+ grave.
Girl Was Slain in Shop
/ Further evidence that the girl was
murdered in the shop and then dropped
/ through the hole in the floor was OBJ
tanned when DR.. Schultze, medical as
sstant TO the prosecutor. announced
! that the smears on the tin around the
/ hole were bloodstains.
/ Preparation Of the extradition papers

the discovery that they would have to
contain the deposition of witnesses
who will testify against him.

MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Mothers Practically Devote Entire
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows NO Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less a condition as are human beings.
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time in being nursed, in
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound or
movement excites her immediate no.
tice, and, with her baby in her arms,
she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by the most adroit maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
but always under it's mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach it to do for itself, but never for
gets her solicitude for it's safety, and
at the earliest intimation of danger
seizes it in her arms and seeks a place
of refuge. When about six weeks old
the baby begins to need more substan-
tial nourishment than milk and is
taught to provide for itself. The moth
er's fondness for her offspring con-
tinues; she devotes all her time 20 it's
comfort and education, and, should it
meet with an untjmely end, her grief
is so intense as frequently to cause her
own death.

America.

A River Falls lady informs h e
journal that while walking home,
in company with her son last Satur-
day evening, she met three boys
who forced her off the sidewalk.
One of them jabbed her in the chest
with his elbow. This lady is of the
opinion that there are several young
people in this town who should be
taught to respect their elders and
also learn a few manners. This is
not the first complaint of this nature
by any means. Perhaps a course in
better manners" at one of the local
schools would fill the bill.

IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men of Affairs Ar.
range Their Business on Punctu-
aIity as Safe Guide.

A young Kentuckian lost a big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod US up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But it also is the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.
Men of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance of
saving it by being prompt.
