Orchestral Society Gives

10 the list last night with the first ap-
pearance this season of the Orchestral
Society of New York at Aeolian Hall,
under the direction of Max Jacobs,
which has now been before the public
Cor some three Or four years.
The programme offered was made up
entirely of orchestral numbers, with
no assisting soloist, and contained, be-
sides Brahms's IS Tragic" Overture, Opus
81, and Tschaikowsky's often heard
Fifth Symphony, three new works by
American composers. which were per-
formed for the first time. They were

Mortimer Wilson, and "Calnival March

which they were heard, the newer COM

Cooley Says Mckay
Defied Authority
And W. as 'Mutinous'
Chief Probation Officer, at
Rehearing of Charges,
Tells Of Alleged Conduct
of Former Subordinate

The second session of the hearing
ordered by Mayor Hylan to be held in
the case of George D. Mckay, former
deputy probation officer, who was
forced to resign by Chief Magistrate
McAdoo some time ago, was continued
yesterday by Commissioner of Ac-
counts David Hirshheld
Mckay was asked to resign by Judge
McAdoo because Of charge of general
misbehavior which were made by Ed
win j. Cooley, the chief probation Off
Ger. At first it was thought that Nc
Kay would be dismissed but he later
was permitted to resign. Recently
Mckay applied to Mayor Hylan for a
rehearing, and the present proceeding
was ordered.
Edwin j. Cooley, chief probation Of
fcer, was the only witness who testi-
fed at the session yesterday. Ques-
tions by Commissioner Hirshfield dis
closed that Mckay, according to Coo
ley, had been mutinous ever since Coo
ley had been appointed chief probation
officer by Judge McAdoo. Cooley said
that as soon as he assumed Office Nc
Kay told him that "McAdoo had given
him (Mckay) a dirty deal"
throughout tne cntlre time that NJ
Kay worked under him, Cooley testi-
fed, McKay's attitude was one of gem
eral INSTRUMENTATION. Mckay never
complied with rules, he said; used pro-
fame language before women, and spoke
slurringly Of the Probation Depart
ment. AT meetings of probation off,
GERS, addressed by prominent men,
Mckay would humble under his
breath, and ask questions shrilly and
contemptuously 80 as to cause humil-
latlon and disturbance to the speakers.
Mr.. Cooley said.
His attitude was one of personal
grievance. disrepsect, insubordination
and unwillingness to discuss matters
with his chief, and in order to settle
matters, Cooley said, he brought
charges against Mckay.
The case was adjourned to Monday
morning, when Mckay will give his
side. The only thing the Commission
er of Accounts can do, it is understood.
ls to clear Mckay of the charges made
against him Cooey's counsel was
Timothy j. Shea and Mckay was rep
resented by N. S. Lockhart.
