REFUSES REQUEST OF
WILKINS'S LAWYER
Weeks Takes No Step to Get
Mysterious Statement.

District Attorney Charles r. Weeks
OF Nassau county declined yesterday to
comply with a request made by Louis
q. Press, attorney for DR.. Walter
Keene wilkins, who asked that a de-
tective be sent to the physicians home
here to accompany Dr. wilkins and the
lawyer to the home of the District At
torney at Port Washington.
Mr.. Friess, who has been DR.. Will
kins's adviser since the start of the in
vestigation that followed the murder of
Mrs. wilkins at Long Beach, said he
had a statement ne desired TO make 10
tho District Attorney, and that he
wished to make 1t in the presence of
DR. Wilkins.
The nature OF the statement has not
been repealed beyond the bare assert
ton by the District Attorney that he
understood IL was in connection with
the will of Mrs. wilkins. Mr.. Weeks
did say. however. that he had not sent
the detective here and that he had had
no talk yesterday or last night either
with DR.. wilkins or Mr.. Press.
Mr.. Weeks intimated again that an
arrest soon would be made upon his
order. Nothing real new has devel-
oped." the prosecutor said, but we have
been piecing the evidence together, and
when we act we will have fortified our
selves with sufficient information to
back us up."
Private detectives still were at work
on the case last night, but the District
Attorney would not give out the details
Of any Of their reports.

COCK FIGHT RAIDED;
SPECTATORS JAILED
Automobiles Parked Around
Barn Stir Suspicion Of
Jersey Slcuths.

Detective Charles Sibel. the best little
sleuth that ever solved a crime for the
County Prosecutor OF Bergen county,
New Jersey. went automobile riding
yesterday with his friend Rocco Alex
ander, who is City Marshal of Emerson.
n. j.. and the goldingest smartest limb
Of the law that ever broke a blackjack
over an evidoer's head.
They went motoring happily along in
the rain. with Detective Sibel driving
and Marshal Alexander keeping one eye
open for something to sleuth, and finally
they turned into the Kinderkamack road
and approached the Lozier Stock Farm,
where they saw six big automobiles
parked in front OF the barn.
That was unusual. and being so Il
was certainly something to sleuth. so
Detective Sibel and Marshal Alexander
stopped their f,ivter and got out and be-
gan industriously taking the numbers OF
the cars. all OF which were later de
scrlbed by the sleuths as high powered
motor cars
While they were doing that they
heard noises in the barn; then great
shouting. and many voices yelling:
Go to It! XIII him! 20
The seuths put up their notebooks
and listened. and heard voices saying:
Ret you twenty! Bet you Atty
Sounds like crime" opined Marshal
Alexander.
Murder or worse said Detective
Sibel.
So they slipped up TO the barn door
and listened closely. Inside they could
hear the labored breathing of many per
sons, and they soon became convinced
that murder was being done, because
they could hear the victim threshlng
about on the floor and making noises
In choked voice. Then the two sleuths
drew their trusty reviewers, shifted
their black Jacks to their coat pockets
and flung the barn door open and rushed
inside the building.
There they saw hfty or more excited
men squatting about pit in the middle
Of the dirt floor, while In the pit two
ROSTERS with steel spurs strapped 20
their legs were engaged In a bloody
duel. and alongside the pit lay five
dead ROSTERS that had been put out OF
action.
The crowd scattered up into the barn
loft and out into the rain when they
saw the detective and the marshal hold
ing them mp with pistols. and one Of
tnen, george NOElIlpIt VI W dHlil elOIN'
Conn, although without his hat and
coat. plunged out into the rain and
started for home.
Detective SIbel chased him for mile
through the woods. and finally brought
him back. while at the barn Marshal
Alexander lined up against the wall
three men who gave their names as
Philip Smith, 1890 Bedford avenue.
brooklyn; James J. Mccarthy, IS Audu-
hon avenue. and Thomas Kelly. h3s
West 195th street. New York city. John
Holdron. manager Of the farm, was also
arrested. "
And then In a few minutes IN drove
Charles Overholt In a big automobile
with a small commercial car htched on
behind. He had come to take his pas
sengers back TO the city. but instead he
took them and himself to the Hacken-
sack jail. Later the automobiles vera
all removed to the jail, where II was
said last night that the owners can
have them II they'll come for them.
But II was also said that II they
come for them they'll be arrested for
participating in cock fight.

sioner John S. Monahan. A letter was
read from City Commissioner Thomas l..
Raymond protesting against prohibition.
The convention. over which presided
Arthur Quinn, president of the New Jer-
sey State Federation of Labor, adopted
unanimously seven resolutions.
The first resolution urges the lifting
Of the ban on the brewing OF beer ana
calls upon Congress to repeal the war
time prohibition act.
A second resolution contains a copy OF
House bill No. 420 OF the New Jersey
Legislature. permitting the sale OF beer
with an alcoholic content Of not exceed
Ing per cent, and urges its passage
in all of the States OF the Union.
Inc tnlrd resolution urges Congress
to pass laws modifying the prohibition
amendment. and also binds the conven-
ten to send President Wilson cable
gram urging him to rescind the Execu-
Tive order against the brewing Of beer
The fourth resolution approves a re-
cent joint resolution of the New Jersey
Legislature which authorized the At
ney-General of the State. Thomas
McCrain. to take legal action TO test the
constitutionality of the prohibition
amendment.
The fifth resolution urges the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at its conven-
ton in June to protest against prohibit
ton. and also requests that body, in the
event that a protest does not obtain re-
lief. to hold a special convention TO deal
with prohibition.
The sixth resolution opposes the rati-
fication Of the prohibition amendment
by the New Jersey Legislature.
The seventh resolution condemns the
methods of the prohibition forces in
getting the amendment passed and III
forcing its ratification by State Legisla-
lures.

SOCIALISTS FIGHT
POLICE OPPRESSION

CITE MANY INSTANCES
Letter Sent to Hylan Throws
Light on Alleged Activi-
ties Of the Force.

Characterizing q recent statement OF
Mayor Hylan as ian absolute and un-
qualified falsehood.' Evans Clark. d.
rector of the bureau Of research con-
Quoted by the Socialist delegation in the
Board OF Aldermen. announced yester-
day that he would present certain facts
in connection with efforts of the Social
lists to rent halls for public meetings
throughout the city TO tho District At
torney and ask for tho immediate re-
moval Of Police Commissioner Enrtsht
by the Mayor.
Mr.. Clark sent q letter to Mayor
Hylan yesterday drawing attention to q
recent statement in letter to Bakers
Union, Local 100. in which the Mayor
said in reference to complaints that the
police were interfering with the Social
lists efforts to hire halls: There is no
person connected with the Police De-
partment or any department of the city
administration. who has interfered in any
way with persons desiring to rent halls
to the Socialist party or any other Or
ganization which desired to assemble
lawfully"
Mr.. Clarks letter to the Mayor points
out that investigation by his bureau
proves that the Mayors statement has
no foundation in fact The letter then
cites thirteen specific instances in which
the Socialists claim they were blocked
by police interference in their plans for
holding meetings. Referring to these
cases the letter to the Mayor states:
These instanceA occurred after a
statement by Commissioner Enright
made on November 26, which was pub
lfshed in the press as follows: The po-
lice have got quite a number of owners
Of halls throughout the city to agree to
refuse the Socialists the use of their
places for meetings. We expect to bring
about a general boycott through the CO.
operation OF business owners and les
sees The facts prove beyond question
that the intention Of the Commissioner
was carried into effect. The
Police Department has deliberately VIC
lated the fundamental right OF freedom
OF assemblage. and also section 1854. par
sgraph 4, of the Peual Law relative to
extortion committed under color Of Of
ficial right, and section $50, paragraph
5, relative to conspiracy"
In a statement issued last night re-
garding his letter to the Mayor Mr.
Clark said:
when Mayor Hylan goes on record
to the effect that no person connected
with the Police Department has inter-
fered with the rental OF halls to the So
cialists it Is an absolute and unqualified
falsehood. Every hall owner IN Man
haitian who wants to rent TO Socialists
don't dare to. because OF orders. threats
and intimidation of nolica ofRcials 7
know personally scores OF reputable
witnesses who can testify to this under
oath. However. It ID almost impossible
for the Socialist party to get justice in
the courts. The Continued refusal of
tho Mayor, the Police Commissioner and
the District Attorney to stop this hall
boycott Is a deliberate Indictment to
what such men say they view with
alarm"

FIRE CHIEF OBJECTS

legislation designed TO give preference
in promotions and appointments in the

men who actually entered the service
and those who were forced to remain
on duty because of the need of pre-
serving the IRE fighting organization In
the city.
His letter, which was made public
yesterday by the Civil Service Reform
Association. says in part:
IT have the highest respect and
admiration for all the men that went
into the army and the navy during
the Spanish-American war and the
great world war which Is about COM
ing to a close, but I cannot see why
they should have preference for ap-
pointment or promotion, because the
men who were forced to remain on
duty here were just as anxious to en-
list and go to the front as the men
who were taken through the selective
draft Further. a vast majority of
the firemen drafted were detailed to
guard and fire companies all over the
country where the danger arising
from fire and FIRE fighting was not
10 per cent. what the danger was
in and about New York IL
would seem, therefore, unfair TO me
to discriminate in the matter OF pro-
motion against flremen who were do
ing duty in New York in favor Of
fremen who were doing duty at
Camp Merritt, Camp Upton. or any
other of the several camps of the
United States. or even those who were
sent overseas"
George T. Keyes, secretary Of the Civil
Service Reform Association, announced
that investigation had shown that what
Chief kenlon had said of the Fire De-
partment was equally true OF the Po-
lice Department, and that expressions
to that effect had been received by the
association from various high officials
Of the Police Department.
