Investigation Seeks
Higher Up in Graft

District Attorney Swami and Assist
ant District Attorney Doolng put in
most of their time yesterday hunting
tor evidence against "higher up" in
the Health Department who, they
think, may have shared in the alleged
graft collected by inspectors of the
Bureau of Foods and Drugs from oys-
ter growers Of Princess Bay and the
dealers who were taxed cent bushel
each for permission to sell them in
violation Of the rules Of the depart
ment.
Mr.. Dooling, with Health Commits
sloner Amster, went oyer many official
records of the department last evening
investigating the story of the "go-be-
long grilling Wednesday night, named
two inspectors on the staff of DR.. Lu-
cius P. Brown. director of the Bureau
of Foods and Drugs.
I'VE are getting corroboration Of his
story, and meanwhile we are question
ing the inspectors whom he named,"
said Mr.. Swami. "Thus far they have
made no admissions of guilt. Next
Monday VIC shall go before the grand
jury with additional evidence against
them"
Mr. Swami yesterday asked Commits
sioner Amster to select an inspector
Win IeputGLlOn lot genuine honesty
and integrity and send him over to the
District Attorneys office to be qucs-
toned by the prosecutor. DR.. Amster
complied and an inspector, not mem
Der of the "oyster squad" spent an
hour with Mr.. Swami
"This man assured me-" said Mr.
Swami, "that the opportunities for
petty graft that confront inspectors OF
the Health Department, especially in
the Bureau of Foods, are probably
greater than those confronting any
other public officials. He says the
merchants are principally to blame.
He told me that he received offers of
money almost daily from merchants
and in many cases he apparently saw
nothing wrong with their business or
goods. These offers ranged anywhere
from $40 to S25 in cash, and others
were in the form Of merchandise or
gratuity."
Dr. Amster issued the following
| statement:
II have asked Commissioner of Ac-
counts Hcrshheld to investigate the en-
tire Department Of Health, beginning
tomorrow | have found that things
are so chaotic that this must be done,
and done as quickly as possible. Nat
urally, until the whole matter is sifted

tirely clean are placed in wrong light

Move to Bar German F Papers
Is lsSpreading to Many owns
Oyster Bay Is First in New York Take Action; Six New
Jersey Communities to Decide Question
Next Week

take official action this coming week
at meetings of their town boards.
The American Defence Society of
Caldwell, N. j., held special meeting
yesterday to discuss the question. It
decided the same results could be ac-
compllshed by appealing to newsdcal-
ers as would be secured by official ac-
tion barring German publications.
Herman Gold. and Thomas Rodger,
the only newsdealers in Clifton, N. j.,
principal thoroughfare, notified pub
fishers of German newspapers that, be-
ginning with this morning, they would
not handle the papers. Their action
was taken voluntarily.
Railway Awaits Canvass
Before any definite action is taken in
Railway, N. j., the town authorities will
await the result Of canvass begun
yesterday by Chief of Police Ramsey.
Montclair and Morrstown, two of
the larger Jersey towns. have taken
no official action, but the question of
the propriety of permitting German
papers to circulate has been discussed
by the Council of Defence and similar
organizations.
Neither Paterson nor Hoboken as
yet has taken notice of the agitation.
German newspaper circulation is large
in the latter city, and officials who dis
cussed the matter, but would not per-
nit their names to be used, declared
their belief that any such move would
meet with considerable opposition.
The Council of Six, of Hoboken, a
vigilants body, however, has already
had the matter under consideration,
and it is expected that some definite
action may be started from that source.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-20

The move to suppress German news
papers, started few days ago in
Hackcnsack and followed by official
action in North Plainfield and one or
two other villages, spread with great
rapldlty yesterday, not only in New
Jersey towns and cities, but through
some sections of New York State as
we'll. Meetings of town boards and
councils have been called for early next
week in at least half a dozen places,
and the prediction is made freely by
prominent residents that within few
days not German paper will be per-
mitted within their limits.
Oyster Bay, the home of Theodore
Roosevelt, was the first town outside
New Jersey to take definite steps to
stop the circulation of German papers.
The town board by unanimous vote
yesterday recommended that their sale
be discontinued.
Last night a mass meeting of more
than three hundred citizens passed
resolutions approving the stand of the
board and pledging their aid in seeing
that the order was carried out. A copy
of the resolution will be sent to Con-
gress and another to Colonel Roose-
welt, with the request that he COM
ment on it.
Citizens Are Unanimous
The public discussion which preceded
the introduction of the resolution
showed the citizens to be of one mind
on the question. Not only was it open
ly advocated that the papers should be
torn from the hands of any one seen
reading copy, but prominent young
women Of the town announced they
had agreed to ostracize any one known
to purchase any of the publications.
The proclamation issued on Thurs
day night by Mayor William L. Small
ley OF North Plainfeld, prohibiting
the sale or circulation of German
papers, went into effect yesterday
There was no attempt on the part of
either newsdealers or citizens accus-
toned to reading the banned papers to
defy the order.
Englewood, N. j., will take up the
matter at the next meeting Of the
Board Of Councilmen next week. Doug
las Thompson, a member Of the coun-
Gil and captain of the Home Defence
League, was outspoken in his support
OF the movement, and not only pre-
dicted that the papers would be barred d
from that city by an official order, but
declared the Home Defence League
would enforce the order.
Fort Lee, directly across the river,
will take up the matter at the meeting
Of the Council board next Monday even
ing. Mayor Edward White said he
would bring up the matter himself

Magnetic Plants
Seized by u. S.
$5,OOO,OOO Bosch Works at
Springfield and Plain
field Taken Over

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Bosch
Magnetic Company's plants at Plainfield,
N. j., and Springfield, Mass, were taken
over'to-day by the Alien Property Gus
todian. The company manufactures
magnetos for airplanes, automobiles,
trucks and other army and navy equip
ment The estimated value of the prop
erty is about $5,00O, 900, with capital
stock of $4,000.
Custodian Palmer's announcement on
assuming control of the plant said:
"Prior to the entrance of the United
had refused to take orders from the
Allies, and after the United States
went in it was loath to render any
service to the government in it's ac-
tivities against the Fatherland. The
directors to be appointed By the Alien
Property Custodian will Immediately
take charge of the works. They will be
operated in full by the United States
and the entire product be placed at the
disposal of the munitions committees
AS this is one of the best equipped
be of inestimable value to both the
army and navy.
after the examination conducted by
Francis p. Garvan, director Of the
Bureau of Investigation. and examina-
tion which is tracing the ownership Of
many properties in various parts of
the country, all the capital stock of the
Bosch Magnetic Company has been
proven to be owned by Robert Bosch
and other residents of Germany. When
first reported by Carl l.. Schurz, of
~
cember, 1917, he claimed that all but a
small proportion was owned by resi-
dents of this country
CAT the time of the declaration of war
Otto Helms, who was then president,
and many of the German heads of de-
partments walked out of the mill with
the purpose that this concern should not
be used in making war upon Germany
The present directors are Carl Schurz
and Gustav jain. These directors will
be replaced by directors designated by
the Alien Property Custodian."
