Grand Jury Urges
Federal Control
Of War Charities
''Fifty-Fifty" Collectors and
"1O0Per-Cent Boys" De-
nounced by Presentment

Federal control of war charity or
CARNATIONS to prevent dishonest ex-
ploitation of public generosity was ad-
vocated by the June grand jury, which
handed up a presentment yesterday to
Judge Mcintyre, in General Sessions,
after an exhaustive investigation of
the activities of 800 war charity or
ganizations. The presentment asserts
that until prosecutions were begun
New York City was fast becoming a
stamping ground for charity takers.
The "ffty-ffty" collectors and the
zone hundred per cent boys" who pock-
eted all the contributions were de-
nounced by the grand jury. 1t also
disapprovcd of the carelessness of per-
sons of standing and influence who lent
their names to questionable organiza-
tions without investigating them. This
practice, the evidence showed, was one
of the most prolific sources of easy
graft. Going into details, the present
ment sets forth:
zone of the most palpable defects
in the collection of war charity funds
has been the incurring of excessive
and exorbitant overhead expenses,
which have eaten up a disproportionate
share of the money contributed. Many
striking examples of this were pre-
sented to us. A notable instance was
| the Army and Navy Bazaar, held in
this city in November last. The fig
ures showed that the bazaar collected
from the public approximately $73, 900,
and of this amount $645 was left for
! the soldiers and sailors in whose name
~ I'D ~ <hov
words, less than 1 per cent of the pro-
ceeds was left to apply to the charity
"Another distressing instance of mis-
appropriation Of funds and lack of ordi-
nary business methods and inadequate
supervision was in the case of the
charity designated as the American
Ambulance in Russia
"Out of list of about 800 different
charitable enterprises that have been
investigated by the District Attorney
substantial percentage of them may
be set down under the category of un-
wise and non-essential.
''In these times of war and destruc-
tion, to give freely. is the very least
we can do We therefore urge our
citizens to contribute whole -heartedly
to every recognized efficiently con.
Quoted war charity, appreciatng at the
same time that the generosity of the
public, under the patriotic impulses
created by the war, is entitled to pro.
lection. And to this end this granc
jury is convinced that remedial steps
should be taken to provide that some
responsible public Office should bt
created and operated by the Fedora
government during the period of the
war, the head of which should hav.
supervision and summary powers ovel
all so-called war charities.'
"The work which District Attorne,

Non-Essential Styles To Be Cut
Gradually by Manufacturers
Under u. S. Order

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Immediate
reduction in the number of types and
sizes Of automobile tires from 287 to
80 has been determined upon by auto
mobile tire manufacturers, in accord
with recommendations of the conserva-
tion division Of the War Industries

nounced to-day by November 1, 1920, all
but nine types and sizes will have been
discontinued.
The nine types to remain after No
vember l, 1920, range in sizes from 80
by 3h to 40 by and include standard
non-skid patterns. The elimination of
the so-called non-essential types will
be gradual. Eleven will be discontin-
ued by November this, year, four
by November l., 1919, and nine by No
vember l, 1920.
Officials of the War Industries Board
say that the motoring public will suf-
fer no inconvenience, as the industry

Anti-Hearst Lapel Button
Meets With Heavy Demand
Here and in Ne.u Jersey

NUTLEY, N. j., June 28.-The idea
of anti-Hearst coat lapel buttons seems
to have spread like wildfire.
Lieutenant Claude w. Boyntan, who
designed the button reading II Do Not
Read Hearst Papers," said today that
he had been swamped with requests
for the emblem which would mark it's
wearer as one who did not read news
papers published by William Randolph
Hearst.
"The initial order for $4,000 buttons
apparently will not begin to fill the de-
mand," declared Lieutenant Boyntan.
when the idea of the button was con-
ceivcd by Nutley citizens, several days
ago. it was thought that number Of
Nutley residents would like such a
button to show how they stood in re-
gard to Hearst while outside of their
home town, it not being necessary to
wear an emblem to distinguish one as
a non Hearst reader in Nutley because
all of Nutley has quit reading those
patriotic citizens all over New Jersey
and in New York. too. desire buttons"
Besides the requests for buttons by
letter and telephone, number of per-
sons called at Lieutenant Boyntan's
New York Office, rs William Street,
asking for buttons. One Of these was
q ysasig woman who lives on Long ISL
and. One we'll known New York bust
ness firm requested 5000 buttons.
". l.. Crandall, who has been lead
cr in the fight TO exclude Hearst papers
from Rutherford, N. j., said he wanted
several thousand buttons to use in his
town.
"ln our town We have already accom-
plished a great deal toward clearing
out Hearst papers," said Mr.. Crandall
Il believe the buttons will help finish
up the job. The wearing of the but
ton by those who have quit reading
Hearst papers should have big moral
influence on those who haven't"

Lieutenant Alexander McClintock,
whose life had been in pawn for glory
scores of times at Ypres, at the Somme
and on lesser battlefelds, discarded it
yesterday at the Murray Hill Baths,

twenty-five shrapnel wounds that were
incidental to the distinguished service,

depot brigade at Camp Dix. Military
authorities there had asked the police
yesterday to make inquiries concerning
hlm, as his leave had expired.
Three days ago he registered at the
Murray Hill Baths. He paid for his
room in advance, making similar paw
ments on each Of the succeeding nights.
Thursday night he told an attendant to
be sure to call him before noon. as he
might sleep late. There was no money
in. his pockets, except a few small
coins. On table at his bedside, near a
package OF sleeping powders, was a let
ter from friend, who promised to
send $50 check soon.
Shortly before going to Plattsburg
McCllntock had embodied his war ex-
perlences in book which he called

cradle popularity. The wound chew
rons on his sleeve and the scars on

Readers Attack
Defence of Hearst
In Caldwell Pane,

CALDWELL, N. j., June 2s.-Despite
the attempt of the Caldwell Militia
Reserve Company and civilians to ex-
clude Hearst newspapers from this
community, Mr.. Hearst has found an
apologist in "The Caldwell Progress"
LOCAL paper. Its editorial policy is
now the target for letters of criticism
from its readers.
"The Caldwell Progress" recently
published q half-psge Hearst adver.
;isement, and attacked editorially in
the same issue the apti-Hearst cam
paign. Hearst agents flooded the town
with this number of the paper, dis
trahuting Hearst circulars with it. In
his next issue the Caldwell editor
wrote:
