Company's Engineer So Testi'

Herbert L. Alrch. assistant con-
struction engineer for the Consolidated
Gas Company admitted yesterday that
the Twentyhrst Street and the Ninety
ninth Street plants were the only two
places 1T which the Consolidated is
making gas at this time. Mr.. Aldrich
made this statement under cross-ex-

ing held in the Woolworth Building in
connection with the gas company's
effort to have the 8O-cect rate de-
clared confscatcry and unconsttu-
tional.
Mr.. O'Bricn and Deputy Attorney
General Chambers are trying to prove
that many of the company's plants are
idle, thus decreasing the $4,000 000
property valuation claimed by the Con-
solidated. During the hearing Mr.
O'Br'en asked Special Master A. S
Gilbert to instruct the company's en-
ploycs to answer questions freely.

Swami Accused by
George G.. Rice of
Plot to ''Railroad''
Promoter, Called Most Dam
gerous Crook i'm Wall ST.
Says Interests Seek to
Send Him to Penitentiary

George Graham Rice, who has served
three prison terms and has been char
acterized IS "thc most dangerous crook
in Wall Street," yesterday charged that
District Attorney Swami was trying t.
ruin him by trumped up accusations
when he was arraigned before Judge
Mcintyre in General Sessions.
After the District Attorney had
sketched to the court a record which
included millions of dollars of worth
less stock dealings, two terms in state
prison and one in Elmira. Rice, whose
real namc is Jacob Simon Herzig, re
torted that the District Attorney was
"the tool of crooked interests" and that
the charges Of grand larceny and as
aault preferred against him were "silly
rot"
He said it would take only twenty
minutes TO convince the court that
the charges against him were unfound-
ed, and asked why he was at liberty if
Mr.. Swami was correct in calling him
"the shrewdest crook in Wall Street
and the most dangerous"
"A year ago we got five indictments
against him" replied Mr.. Swami. He
did not receive. an early hearing be-
cause he asked for time and bought off
the complainants. We have asked for
three new indictments against him, and
we can produce 500 victims before the
grand jury"
At the conclusion of the debate Judge
Mcintyre held Rice in $4,000 bail pend

Building Machinery
Col. E. S. Cornell Says Private
Contractors, Not State Boards,
Should Get SupDlies

To expedite road construction
throughout the country at compare
lively reasonable cost, Colonel Edward
S, Cornell, Of the National Highways
Protective Association, proposes that
all the road building machinery and
material held by the War Department
be sold to contractors.
"At the present time," he says, "the
government has on hand in storcyards
in this country and France thousands of
miles of industrial trackage and hun
dreds Of cars, steam shovels, concrete
mixers, wagons, graders and all kinds
of road building equipment.
"The War Department intends to
turn over all this road building mato-
rial to the Department Of Agri-
culture and frwnl there to the state
highway departments. The state
highway departments have no organi-
cation to use this equipment, and it
will rust and become ultimately a total
loss.
every one knows what has happened
since he government held its stocks
of food products and would not sell
them to tha public and allowed prof.
teerine to go on.
"All Of the equipment should be sold
to contractors at reasonable prices so
that road work, for which millions of
dollars have been appropriated can go
on. The highway departments Of the
several states cannot loan contractors
the N achinery that the government
turns over to them"

by a Mysterious Blonde

The police yesterday invited the CO.
operation Of the entire baby carriage
colony of The Bronx to assist in find
ing seven-weeks-old Arthur Phillips
Wentz who was taken from his car
riage in front Of Blumsteins store, at
150th Street and Third Avenue, Tues
day afternoon. Detectives under the
direction of Lieutenant John McGrath
and uniformed men under Captain John
j. Lantry went through the parks
where mothers with small children
congregate, and to the grocery stores
and daires, spreading the alarm.
The fact that the Vent baby dis
appeared under circumstances similar
to those of the kidnapped Koskinen
baby, and that it was the neighborhood
gossips of 145th Street who found. the
were impressed upon every mind.
The tenants in the building at 725
Home Street, where Mrs. Wentz is
janitress, visit her constantly, offer

sistance as is possible, but Mrs. Wentz
puts her faith in prayer.

Mrs. Wentz described the baby as
light-haired and plump, with a small
brown mark on the back of his neck
He was dressed in white dress, flan
mel petticoat and stockings, but ne
shoes or bonnet.
A peculiar circumstance connected
with the Kidnapping is that it occurred
! at Blumstein's store, which is known
throughout The Bronx as the stor,
where they "check your baby whil'
you shop" A motherly, gray-hairet
woman stands on the curb all day
keeping an eye on the line of bah,

Tuesday the line was full and Mrs
Wentz took her baby carriage arount
to the side entrance, where there wa
no matron, but where several othe
baby carriages were parked. Wome1
standing at the door saw plon,
young woman lift the Wentz baby from
his carriage and commented on he
appearance, but noticed nothing sus

This not only impairs the mental

It is much like the messenger

over the city and forgetting what
he was sen< for, or the merchant
whose clerk in southern city
sold and received the money for
perishable goods to be delivered
in another city. The address was
given in writing and lost by him,
SO he guessed at it, and sent the
goods to wrong address. to the
disappointment of three parties,
added to the loss Of the goods,
for which the money had to be
returned.
