Larkin Tries to Prove
Notes Tempered With
District Attorneys Stcnographer
Insists transcript of Radicals
Examination Is Accurate

James Larkln, Irish radical who is
conducting his own defense. tried to
score at his trial yesterday that some
one in the District Attorneys office
had tampcred with the stenographic
notes Of his examination by Assistant
District Attorney Alexander |. Rorkc
November 10, 1919. shortly after he
was indicted for criminal anarchy.
Henry J. Parker, stenographer in
the employ Of the District Attorneys
office, called by Rorkc, testified he had
taken the notes Of Larkin's cxamina-
ton and read the questions and the
answers at that time. Larkin made no
objections until Parker got through
reading and then, by rercadin9 some
of the questions and answers, sought
70 show that dcletions had been made.
Parker, however. insisted the notes
were accurate and Larkin discontinued
this ljna OF questioning.
Considerable evaporation was evil
denccd by Justice Weeks and Mr..
Eorke over the literal answers Of Ella
Rubin, Of 1916 Third Avenue, formerly
employed az stcnographcr by the
left wing Of the Socialist party. She
parried every thrust Of the prosecutor,
even on minor questions, and proved
a troublesome though unimportant wit

the slight injury to one Of the defend

Mrs. Gait Assails
Machine Politics
AS Un-American
Tells Jewish Women Big
Campaign Funds Are the
Greatest Menace i'm POliti-
cal Life of United States

Party machines and campaign funds
were attacked as "un-American" by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, leader Of
American suffragists, at the annual
meeting of the New York Council of
Jewish Women yesterday afternoon at
Temple Rodelph Sholom, Sixty-third
Street and Lexington Avenue.
"The same feeling that dominated
the great militaristic machines Of
Germany, Austria and Russia before
the war has led Some men in America
to build up political machines on mill
leaders have no more respect for the
wishes of the people than has an un
scrupulous general.
when you women 20 out and study
politics you are going to be disillu-
stoned. You are going to learn many
things about practical politics that
you don't want to know and that make
you wonder whether any of it is worth
while. But remember that the race
isn't very old; it isn't SO very long
since we were all swinging in the
trees, and evolution proceeds very,
very slowly, but it does proceed always
forward.
meantime, we women can help by
standing for definite measures for
good in political affairs. One is the
defeat of the machine type of poll
tician. Another is the institution of
campaign funds. Now, it is very much
easier for a campaign manager to re-
ceive one check for $4,000 than it is
to work for 10000 checks for 81 each.
Dol o,.+ ~%~.l
] like them myself But l know that
the person who contributes $4,000 or
100000 to political party has an
enormous influence on the policy of
that party 1t is the greatest menace
in American politics.
Mrs. Gait also spoke of the danger
to democracy of lack of education,
urging the women to support the cam
paign for Cabinet member for educa-
ton.
Zone of the most tragic things that
ever happened TO American institu-
tions occurred the other day in a GER
tain county of neighboring state of
ours" she said. "In that county at
the time of the war 35 per cent of the
American born boys were unable to
read and write. Since the war there
has been a tax levied on that county
to improve the schools, but this spring
petition has been circulated demand
ing the repeal Of the school tax. Of
the 5000 voters who signed that petit
ton, one thousand signed with their
marks, being unable to write their
names Government by the people will
persist, but what kind of government
can you expect from people who are SO
ignorant that they refuse to be taxed
to remove shat ignorance All other
questions fade into insignificance be-
side this"
The Council Of Jewish Women passed
resolution asking Mayor Hylan to
approve the tax levied for Hunter Col
lege, and all members were invited to
attend the hearing this morning be-
fore the Mayor.

The Amazons of Belleville, N. j.,
were still holding the Grcylock Avenue
railroad crossing, according to dis
patches filed late last night, after day
of fierce battle with Erie section gangs
and several assaults by handcar.
Bonfres had been built beside the
crossing, and men and women, armed
with baseball bats and other lethal
weapons. were standing sentinel lest
the attack be renewed under cover Of
darkness.
Meanwhile the luckless town council
was listening to ferocious arguments
by dwellers on Grcylock Avenue. who
insisted that the crossing they had laid
down on Saturday was to remain, and
equally vociferous assertions by rep
resentative Of the Erie, who was just
as positive that it wasn't.
Three years ago Belleville petitioned
the Public Utility Commissioners for
permission to lay a crossing at Grey
lock Avenue. This was denied, and
