It was brought out in court yester-

Leib in Pottsville. They We're returned
to Mr.. Evans, Cancelled. few days
after they had been sent TO Leib, he
testified today. Later, the witness
said, he received receipts for the pay

The defense today brought up charges
made in court yesterday, when Mr..
Evans said Leib had called on him in

Leib made ar attempt then to have the

The witness said Mr.. White asked Leib
at the time:
"How do you expect to get away
with such thingsf"
Leib was said TO have answered that

The defense attempted to bring out
today that these remarks were not about
the receipts sent the Merchant & Evans

A fight 20 bring about the removal
Of James II. Maurer from the chair
manship of the State Old Age Pen
sion Commission and his deportation
from this country is being led today by
the Order of Independent Americans.
Resolutions were passed last night
at the monthly meeting of the order

from his state post. Maurer, whose
home is in Reading, is O Socialist and
president of the State Federation of
Labor.
In these resolutions, in which Maurer
Is branded as undesirable" the fol-
lowing protest Is made:
"We protest against the further con :
tinued recognition of this mans au-
thoritative position. We believe him to
be 4 detriment to the government and
constitution and entirely unit to repre-
sent the great commonwealth of Penn
sylvanis.
"We reiterate our belief that such
men as he should not only be denied
honorable distinction in the official life
Of this commonwealth, but should be
deported from our shores, along with
those Of his same ansrchistic class, as
an undesirable person"

CANE GIVEN TO WASHINGTON
BYLAFAYET7E SHOWN HERE
Staff Brought This City by Colonel Edoard W. Creccy o
Baltimore Who Inherited It, attracts Much Interest

A relic of great interest and its owner
were at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel
yesterday.
II is the staff, or cane, presented to
George Washington by Lafayette, and
its owner is Colonel Edward W. Creecy,
of Baltimore, NJ.
The staff, which is made Of exquisite
bamboo, is about four feet high. 1t is
surmounted by gold knob, upon which
is engraved the Washington coat of
arms. Upon the side of the gold band
bearing the knob is engraved the fol-
lowing:
''Bequeathcd by General George
Washington to Robert Washington, of
Chotsnk, and from him descended 10 his
grandson. Peter Gravson Washington.
On the other half of the band circum
ference is inscribed peter Grayson
Washington.
The gold which ornaments the cane
and bears the inscriptions is so soft
that jt Is remarkable how such finely
executed lettering should remain dis
tinguishable, considering the age Of the
staff. The cane is in an excellent state
of preservation.
Certificate Proves Authenticity
At the Bellevue yesterday Colonel
Creecy displayed certified copy of
Washington 5 will, which showed that
he had left two canes the present Que,
which is the coloucls inherit9uce, and
another. which was presented to Wash
iugtcn by benjamin Frsnklin.I The lat
ter is now on exhibition in the Metro =
poltan Museum in New York.
Despite the fact that it was the init
mate property Of Americas first Presi
dent and one of her greatest generals,
Washington cane has added within
the last month to its fame.
A short time before the visit Of the
Prince of Wales to Washington on ~
thirteenth Of the month, Colonel Creecy
received un invitation from society
in Washington TO be their guest on that
day, requesting him to bring his illus

GRUENBERG'S FIRE
DRAWNBY WALTON
Controllers Declaration He Did
Not Fight Charter Questioned
by Research Director
WOULD AVOID CONTROVERSY

Frederick p. Gutenberg. director of
the Bureau Of Municipal Research, has
replied to Controller Walton. lie chal'
'enges Mr.. Walton's statement that hr
was not opposed to the new charter.
Controller Walton" said Mr.. Cru =
enberg, twas one of two public off =
cials utilized bv the anti charter forces
to injure the recommendations of the
charter committee during the last ses.
sion Of the state Legislature"
Mr.. Gutenberg further said the con
troller's admission that contractors
could have been told to wait while
for their warrants for transit work.
twas mere self evident. clumsy, ad
mission that he has been attacking the
new charter"
In this connection it was said in
political circles that one Of the reasons
why Controller Walton was unopposed
in the primaries by the Wares for re,
nomination was that he had backed
up the Ware fight on the new charter.
City Controller Walton, in replying
to Mr.. Gruenberg's charges that tht
city's credit had been attacked for The
sake of discrediting the new charter
said that he paid no attention to Mr..
Gutenberg.
81 have no desire,' said Mr.. Cru
enberg, ito enter into persona
controversy with Mr.. Walton. Captain
Walton is an elderly gentleman Of at
tractive personality. This bureau does
not exist for the purpose Of indulgine
in personalities. When ] criticize pub
lie officials it is on behalf of civic
agency.
~ will say, however, he was one oi
two public officials utilized by the anti.
charter forces to injure the recommen
dations Of the charter committee dur
ing the last session of the state Legis-
lature. Further. this refusal to com.
ment on the situation is confession
and avoidance. Since Controller Wal.
ION has admitted that it is an every
day thing to ask contractors to wal
while for warrants, this giving ou
of sensational story that the city
is bankrupt is clumsy admission tha
be has been attacking the charter"
