WRANGLE HOLDS UP
CITY WORKERS PAY
Craig and Auditor Quarrel
While 200 Go Unpaid Two
Months.

Friction between the Finance Depart
the proper way to make out a payroll,
which has arisen periodically for years,
came into the Board OF Estimate meet
ing yesterday to rufie the waters, which
had been placid since the departure OF
Mayor Hylan for Palm Beach. This
time the pay of some 200 craftsmen,
clerks and mechanics in the school sys-
tenn has been held up since December 81
because. according to the Comptroller.
the proper payrolls have not been made
out.
President Somers Of the Board Of Edu-
cation appeared in person before the
Board of Estimate to ask that former
payrolls be used as a basis to pay the
employees and that an adjustment be
made later. The Comptroller protested
and the matter was finally put up to the
Committee on Finance and Budget, which
will thresh II out next week.
why don't you get up this matter
and send 1t down to u.s. demanded
Comptroller Craig with anger to James
]. Smith, a member OF the Board OF
Education's auditing STAFF under Henry
r. NJ Cook. "If valid payroll is sent
down to US the money will be paid"
Smith commended the payroll was made
out in proper form.
"If Auditor Cook doesn't submit proper
payrolls." chmed in President Moran OF
the Board OF Aldermen. II am going to
order the Corporation Counsel to man
damus' him. Cook would like to con-
tinue as an autocrat, and IT is too bad
that innocent employees have to be
caught in jam"
The board appropriated s576.1C7 for
the building OF two new public schools
in Brooklyn, one at briggs avenue and
North Fourth street. Williamsburg. and
the other in West Fifth street, near

IN O'LEARY DEFENCE
Credibility Of Mrs. Gonzales,
Government Witness, Is
Attacked.

Cornelius F. Collins, Justice of the
Court Of SpeclaISessions, and John P.
Cohaian. Surrogate, appeared as char
acter witnesses for jeremiah A o'Leary
yesterday in his trial before Federal
Judge Hand and jury op an indictment
alleging conspiracy with certain code
PENDANTS to violate the espionage law.
The remainder Of yesterdays session
was devoted by oLeary's counsel to
bringing out further testimony concern
ing O'Leary's utterances at the Irish ba-
xaar in 1917 and at other public gather
inss which he addressed. A determined
effort also was made by the defence to

ances she said O'Leary made.
Mrs Gonzales was recalled for further
cross-examination by the defenuce and
declined to answer a number Of ques-
tons regarding her private life put to
her by Arthur O'Leary and Thomas B.
Fielder, chief of O'Leary's counsel. In
reply to questions Mrs. Gonzales ad-
mitted she had been endeavoring to OBJ
tain the release of a German now de-
talned in an internment camp, but de-
nied that she had received assurances
that her informed friend would be re-
leased or any money from the Govern
mcnt beyond her witness fees.
Justice Collins testified he had known
O'Leary personally and professionally
for fifteen or twenty years and that he
knew him to bear a good reputation and
character.
Surrogate Cohalan testified to the same
Appreciation of O'Leary's character and
explained that after Arthur O'Leary
who was one OF his assistants in the
surrogate's Office, had decided to Join
the army he had conversation with
Jeremiah O'Leary. He told the jury tina,
the defendant had expressed to him
qualification over the announcement
adding; 81 wish ] could do the same
thing as a member of the old Sixty
ninth, but you know that ! have my
wife and large family"
Surrogate Cohalan said he never heard
OLeary make a speech except in court
