No Immunity for
Gamblers, Says
District Attorney
Accused Men Will Not Be
Allowed to Testify and
Thus Escape

When District Attorney Swann's In
vcstigaton Of gambling conditions in
Now York take concrete shape before
Judge Wadhams some time this week
every safeguard is to bc used to pre-
vent important witnesses from testify
ing aud then claiming immunity under
the Bowling act. No. gambler or
gamblers aid will be summoned to
testify who may be named later in
criminal prosecutions.
1t was announced yesterday that the
investigation would be taken up in
Judge Wadhams's court just MS soon
as that magistrate cleared his calcn-
dar sufficiently to make the long drawn
out hearings possible. 1t is hoped
that this will be late this week.
The prosecuting attorney left his din
ner at the Democratic Club last night
long enough to say that he had tho
names Of somo Of the principals for
whom he had been seeking. but that
their identity would not be revealed
until the John Doe warrants already
prepared had been served and the un-
named individuals produced in court.
Inc hearings may consume several
weeks, since Judge Wadhams can de-
vote only two hours day to the case.
according to the present schedule of
court proceedings. Mr.. Swami ind-
Gated that he did not expect to un-
cover second Garfield, however, or
any palatial gambling resorts of the
Garfield type.
Meanwhile, five men were arrested
as gamblers and taken into tho Nor
risania Court yesterday on the com.
plant of District Attorney Martin, of
The Bronx. All of the prisoners were
placed under $500 bail for examination
Thursday.
The accused men, who pleaded not
guilty. were David Mulligan, 273 West
176th Street; Charles Capobianco, 2O94
Washington Avenue; George McGill,
20S2 Hughes Avenue; Robert Page, a
saloonkecper at $40 East 147th Street,
and Patrick j. Smith, of 629 LcnoS
Avenue.
Detective Tracy testified that he had
played the Havana and New Orleans
races with the three first named and
had won $500. The detective produced
his roll Of winnings AS evidence. The
complaining witness against Page and
Smith was Rudolph Theme, Of 2610
Cheeseborough Avenue Westchester.
who said he had been induced to play
a wheel of fortune in Pages saloon and
had lost $120.

Hubert Fails i'm
Plea for 4O-Foot
He'll Gate Channel
/ Staf Co2respondencel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The plea Of
Commissioner of Docks and Ferries
Murray Hubert, Of New York, that the
East River and He'll Gate channel be
deepened to forty feet, instead of thir-
ty-fve feet, as the appropriation act is
construed by the engineers Of the War
Department, has been overrued by
Chairman John II. Small Of the House
Rivers and Harbors Committee. Mr..
Small says an appeal might be made to
Secretary of War Baker from the de-
cislon of the engineers.
MI. Hubert, former member of the
committee and now Commissioner of
Docks and Ferries Of New York City,
complained that the War Department.
through the chief of engineers, had
only begun construction of the i'm
provement Of the Last River and He'll
Gate. to depth of thrty-five feet, in
stead Of forty feet, as heretofore au
thorlzed by Congress-" said Mr.. Small.
Colonel II. T. Newcomer, representing
the chief Of engineers, contendcd that
the war Department was following the
Legislation adopting this project.
ut was contended by MIR. Hubert
and other representatives of New
York City that because the act men
toned specifically forty feet this depth
must be provided at once. The
chief of engineers contends that the
document referred to containing the
report Is necessarily controlling, and
that the recommendation is for "a depth
OF th'rty.fve feet s soon as practi~
N y
feet
NO one questions that projected
depth Of forty feet has been authorized
by Congress in East River and He'll
Gate. and it is only a question Of
whether forty feet is to be provided
n the original construction or whether r
thlrty-fiYe feet is to be provided
as soon as practicable and eventually
Il depth of forty feet secured"
