Fusion Managers
Mere Amateurs,
Declares Healy

Ex-Coroncr Timothy Healy, who is
also president of the international
Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen
was questioned yesterday by Assistant
District Attorney Kilroe about $780,
900 fund which he and Clement J. Dris
coll were said to have received from
The Mitchell Fusion Committee to can
vass the labor vote. Mr.. Healy said all
he handled was 81 $40, which was spent
for literature. postage and speakers
He said he spent $500 Of his own
money, for which he believed he was
"a damn fool"
Asked what he thought of the pro-
prlety of spending SO much money to
elect a Mayor, Mr.. Healy said:
IL think it is a sad thing in the life
of our city. / talked with Mayor
Mitchell about it and l know nobody
feels worse about it than he does. The
sooner it is stopped the better. l have
had lot of experience with the Citi-
zens' Union in the Low campaign and
others, but it was always for expenses
My experience is that men that take
that amount of money are grafters
They are out to make money from both
sides"
Mr.. Healy said he didn't mind saying
it from the "housetops" that the
wealthy people of New York "got
scared of Hillquit" and were anxious
to raise the biggesy fund possible te
elect Mayor Mitchell. He also said he
believed Tammany Hall spent as much
money as the Fusionists did.

Senator Owen Urges
Print Paper Control
Vote in Senate on Measure Will
Be Delayed Several
Davs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.-Debate on
the joint resolution authorizing the
President to have the Federal Trade
Commission take control Of the print
paper industry continued to day in the
Senate. A final vote probably will not
be reached for several days.
Senator Smoot characterized the
measure as "a most vicious one" and
declared that under it's provisions the
President would be able TO withhold
print paper from any newspaper or
magazine he desired
Senator Owen said it was necessary
paper monopoly over the press. He
charged that the papermakers now
could dictate to the press Of the coun-
try by withholding supplies.
"Ono OF the greatest evils in the
world is the effort to suppress the
press" he said. "Ths was one Of the
means used by Germany to maintain a
monarchy and autocracy. If we allow
this to occur we will let condition
arise the result Of which no one can
foresee."
Senator Wadsworth asked if by
placing control of print paper with the
government similar danger would not
result in the United States.
NO, replied Senator owen. Nv e
can clothe our government with power
without fear, because the people control
this government"
News print paper jobbers told the
Federal Trade Commission to-day that
they would be forced out of business If
the commission undertook to supply
small publishers with paper, as was
done last year.
Commissioner Colver said the com.
mission did not expect to undertake
distribution again.

Declares She Was Drugged
Mrs. Denivele Infantile Paralysis Victim Asserts He
Husband Compromised Her to Rid Himself
of Woman Who Uses Clutches

Mrs. Dorothy C. Denivolle, of COG Fiji
ty-seventh Street, Brooklyn, who walks
with the aid Of clutches, the result Of
an attack of infantile paralysis which
she contracted from her child, was the
defendant in the Supreme Court yes
terday in divorce suit brought by AL
bert A. Denivelle, manufacturer Of
toys In denying the charges made by
her husband, Mrs. Donivclle says that
the action against her is a "frame up"
brought by Mr.. Denivclle to rid himself
of crippled wife.
Whatever the merits Of Mr.. Deni-
velle's case, he marshallcd together in
court yesterday number of women
who gave testimony against Mrs. Deni-
vclle. The volubility of these women
and their seeming readiness to testify
caused Justice Platzek to announce abb
ruptly: "This is not ventilatng room
for scandal, nor for the airing OF the en-
mites and jealouses Of women"
Says She Was Drugged
Mrs. Denivelle said ON the stand in
her own defence that she had been
drugged into the compromising posi-
tion which forms the basis of her hus-
hand'S suit. She SAID she was induced
by some persons whom she now be-
! lleves we're friends of her husband to
let them live with her. One night af-
ter her mother and father had left her
home she was induced by Miss Nc

Members

With the arrival in the city last
night of Governor Whitman announce
ment was made that he had sent his

Service Commission and the Brooklyn
Judiciary to the Senate for contirma-
ton. The appointment of Frederick
j. II. Kracke, of Brooklyn, former Com
missioner Of Plant and Structures, to

Commissioner Kracke's friends,
however, arc sanguine that this oppo-
sitlon will not be serious. The ap-

succeed Major Henry w. Hodge has
met with no political objection. Both

this week.

Brown Would
Drop Primary
AS Aid in War
Senator Says New York's
Stake in World Calls for
Return to Old System
[Staf Correspondence

ALBANY, Jan. 9.-Elon R. Brown,
majority leader of the Senate, renews
his plea for repeal of the direct
primary law and restoration of the
party convention system, in an article
in the January number of "The State
Service Magazine" Senator Brown
finds new argument for restoring the
ime-honored and boss-ridden State
convention. 1t is that its return will
help the Allies beat Germany.
Copies Of the article were on the
desk Of every lcgilator here tonight.
Its opening line indicates that the foes
of direct primaries will introduce a
meaure restoring the state convention
at this session.
"The most important legislation that
can be considered by the incoming
Legislature relates to the restoration
cf nominating conventions for state
officers and judges" the article begins
"The one supreme call in military anJ
civil government is for effective leader
ship on sound principles. How can tel,
million inhabitants and three milliol
six hundred thousand voters deliberate
upon leadership except under the prn-
,'iple Of representation We have rep
resentatve government in state affairs;
we must have it in party affairs.
New York State is too big to be run
on the town meeting plan. New York's
interests are too great to be managed
by parties that do not assemble for
dclibcration. New York's interest in
the United States is too great to be
handled without judgment after delib
Grafton.
New York's stake in the civilized
world requires that the maturest
Judgment of her people be expressed
through her strongest and most repre-
sentative men and that when the
judgments of her parties differ the
issues be laid bare before the elector-
ate. This can be done only through
party conventions. The declaration OF
principles and the choice Of leaders
must go hand in hand. If they are
separated both may be inconsequcn-
tia."
"The spectacle Of a judicial candi-
date personally conducting direct pri.
mary contest is revolving" says Scna-
tor Brown. "The practice is menace
to the integrity of the bench and t.
public security"
