Attorney Attacks
City for Inquiry
Into Tax Sales
Theodore |. Schwartzman
Refuses to Testify Before
Accounts Commissioner

Theodore I. Schwartzman. an attor-
ney. of 189 Montague Street, BROOKLYN.
refused yesterday to testify before
Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfield
regarding the operation of the tax laws
unless he was permitted to read into
the record a statement in which he
criticized the conduct Of the investi-
cation and the city administration.
Hirshfeld refused to permit him to
read the statement, and Schwartzman
walked out of the office, after declin-
ing to answer further questions. To
one question put by Hirshfield,' the
witness answered, 81 decline to submit
myself to an examination at YOUR
hands"
In the statement which he sought to
read into the record Mr.. Schwartzman
declared the "present course of the
city" IN concentrating attention upon
tax slackers" would bring "iniustice"
upon upon the vast majority of taxpayers.
1.-TWO things must, in reason, result
from this fatuous, policy" the state
ment declared. First, the number of
delinquents, or tax slackers, will in
crease by thousands; second, no one
will ever purchase another tax lien at
any sale hereafter held by the city,
and the millions of dollars raised an
nually by the city through these sales
will be lost to it, since no one wi h
any self-respect will invest his money
under this form of law and run the
chance Of being pilloried thereafter.
u am informed there are now up.
wards of twenty thousand delinquents
upon the tax books of the city. If the
tax Stacker thinks he can let his taxes
run along for years without paying
them he assuredly will do So He most
assuredly will if he knows a mawkish
Administration will enable him, by in
quiries and Investigations, to pay at
any old time in the remote future the
amount of his taxes plus the interest ~
Miss Edith Embree, executrix of the
estate of her father, Robert C. En.-
bree, and Amelia Bne, 38S Whitehall
Avenue, Brooklyn, nurse, also ap-
peared as witnesses before Hirshfield.
Miss Embree testified that lot in
flatbush belonging to her fathers es-
tate had been sold for the 1874, 1875
and 1879 taxes of $27.29, and that she
paid S5S.5o to the Maylew Company,
which was represented by Schwartz

Shell Plant Chief
Admits Excessive
Explosives Supply
$4,000, 900 Pounds on Hand
Night of Explosion at
Gillespie Factory

On the night the T. A. Gillespie
sheil-loading plant blew up at Morgan,
n. d., with loss of sixty-four lives.
there were between 25,o00,OOO and
So,oo0,o00 pounds of explosives on the
premises. To-day there are nearly
100000 pounds.
These figures came out Yesterday
when f. A. Gates. vice president and
general manager Of the Gillespie CON
cern testified at the resumption of the
senatorial investigation into the causes
OF the explosion at Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Gates admitted the magazines in
which the largest quantities of INT
were. stored had been designed for
smokeless powder. and that their
maximum capacity under the cir
cumstances should have been about
100000 pou ds. The amount Of ex-
plosives on the grounds that night. he
finally conceded, was excessive if
viewed from the standpoint of spubic
safety.
AT the very outset of the hearing
yesterday, Senator Meyers, presiding,
announced that the government has
ordered the reconstruction work at
Morgan stopped. Later Colonel Crews,
'f the Ordnance Department. stated
that, in order TO prevent a labor cri-
sis, the men employed there have been
diverted to construction work on .
huge explosives warehouse on the
same site.
Protests Withdrawn
The Perth Amboy Council Of Defence
had objected to continuance of work
there. Colonel Crews yesterday as
sured the committee tnat every precau-
tion to safeguard the public would be
taken.
"In that case" said Judge Adrian
Lyon, chief attorney for the Perth Am
boy Council of Defence, 1--WE have nc
protest to offer"
Frank Odendahl. the government in
spector who last week was referred to
as an enemy alien, was at the hearing
and exhibited his naturalization GER
titicate.
There have been insinuations
against me in this room which are in
tolerable," he said. "Something shou d
be done to remove this stain from my
name. A man can't help where he
was born. But | have been in this
country thirty years and naturaliec
since 1894. I have son who has been
fighting for this country in France.
am 100 per cent American, and so far
as my connection with the unit of the
Gillespie factory where this explosion
started is concerned, was never in it
in my life"
No Imputation, Myers Says
Senator M0er assured Mr.. Odendahl
that no imputation against his charac-
ter had been intended. that the com
mttee was merely seeking the facts
and that his explanation was entirely
acceptab G.
Herbert Leonard. superintendent oil
the unit where the fire began, gave il
as his positive opinion that the plant
had been deliberately blown up. He
could not, however, assign any reason
for the belief.
