Court Says Outsiders
Influenced Grand Jury

Stating in open court that the last
grand jury in Jersey City had been in
fuenced by outside agencies in consid-
Grafton of complaints that the Hoboken
City commissioners had been guilty of
padding the municipal pay roll and an
offense against the election laws, JUS
tice F. A. Swayze yesterday charged
the December grand jury and expressed
a wish that they prove themselves free
from such advances.
The court discussed the report that
the last grand jury had found a bill
against certain officials and then had
reconsidered
THAT was their right" he said. "But
that grand jury was approached di-
rectly and indirectly. One of the jurors
was approached by an official who told
him contract had been awarded to
him, and spoke of the fact that the
doings Of the grand jury We're known
outside the grand jury room.
ut is not for me now to say what
the official meant, but ! think it would
not take a very shrewd guess"

Jury's Demand for
Papers Blocks City
Work, Says Burr
Corporation Counsel Seeks
Modification of All-Inclu-
sive Subpenas; Panel
Asks Other Quarters

Corporation Counsel William P.
Burr conferred yesterday with Ray
mond F. Almirall, foreman of the ex-
traordinary grand jury, and, Jlstice
Barlow S. Weeks, who presides over
the extraordinary term Of the Su-
preme Court, concerning the subpoenas
duces tecum issued the day before by
the grand jury. These were served
on Mayor Hylan, Commissioners Coler
and Hirshfield, Comptroller Craig and
Mr.. Burr and called for the production
of all papers relating to transactions
of the Department of Markets, under
investigation by the grand jury
Mr.. Burr is said to have declared
that to bring in all correspondence
called for by the jury would tie up
the city's business, since compliance
with the subpoenas would entail an
exhaustive search Of city cabinets and
flies.
Mr. Burr was interested in ascertain
ing whether the subpenas might not be
modified and the grand jury specify
exactly what records they wanted.
Calls for documents Handicapped the
city's business, Mr.. Burr contended, un-
less the jury could copy the original
the originals to the city departments
The jury was said to be considering
plan whereby all necessary records
might be obtained without causing city
departments embarrassment.
During the day Commissioner of
Charities Coler, David Hirshfield, Com
missioner of Accounts, and Deputy
Comptroller Hahlo appeared outside the
jury room with small bundles of pa
pers.
In connection with reports that the
grand jury still believed that "leaks"
on it's secret deliberations were due to
dictaphones on the fourth floor of the
Criminal Courts Building, where the
panel meets, it was said that repre-
sentatives of the jury recently in
formed Justice Weeks that they were
considering seeking quarters outside
the building.
Justice Weeks is reported to have
discouraged this plan.
ut is not suggested where the gen
tleman Mr.. Almirall, jury foreman !
wants to move the grand jury's delib-
erations," said District Attorney
Swami yesterday. "But I have no
doubt that appropriate accommodations
at 165 Broadway would be what he
most DESIRES"
The Broadway address is the build
ing in which the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company has it's offices.
Definite determination of the status
of George Gordon Battle, designated
special counsel to the jury by District
Attorney Swami, is expected to-day,
when Mr.. Battle Will confer with Gov
ernor Smith. Mr. Battle is expected
either to withdraw entirely or consent
to the jury's proposal that he be asso-
ciated with assistant counsel. Mr.. Bat
tie did not meet the Governor yester-
day, as had been originally planned.

Baff's Slayers Reprieved

Joseph Cohen and Frank Ferrara,
murderers of Barnet Baff, whose exc

night at Sing Sing, received a new
lease of life yesterday when Governor
Smith ordered the double electrocution
postponed until the last minute Satur-
day The Governor refused to init
mate whether he might, in the mean
time, commute the sentence of either
or both. Cohen already has received
four reprieves, and Ferrara, driver of
the murder car, eleven.
Justice John F. Mcintyre, of the
Court of General Sessions, wrote to the
Governor last Friday urging commuta-
tion of the sentence of Cohen to life
imprisonment.

in All Parts of World:
Drive Ends in February

Reconstruction work will be carried
on in all sections of the world next
year by the Young Women's Christian

tlonal educational campaign committee
OF the 1920 world service program of
that organization.
In appealing for the support of the
nation in the work of the Y w. c. A.,
Mrs. Rockefeller said yesterday:
Since the war we are more than
ever aware of the economic. industrial,
educational, social and religious diff
culties which beset the lives of girls
and women everywhere. In meeting
the postwar needs of women the Young
Women's Christian Association stands
as an instrument of service, tested and
proved by war, and organized to meet
the manifold problems of peace
Because of it's fifty-odd years of ex-
perience in meeting fundamental prob
lens affecting girls the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association is an or
ganization particularly fitted to exert
stabilizing influence upon the
troubled times through a consistent
program of service for girls and women.
american women are asking how
they may share in the worlds recon-
struction. They can do so by enlist
ing the support of their communities
for this world service program, which
will insure to the world a healthier and
better womanhood. This campaign of
the Y. w. c. A. to tell the people Of
the United States about its work and
to raise S3,000,O00 with which to carry
on Y. W. G. A. work will close the week
of February % to 20, which will be
