Golf Assails Sd Degree
As Used by the Police

Former Supreme Court Justice Goff
Yesterday denounced the police methods
of forcing confessions from persons
charged with crime.
Mr.. Golf was defending Isaac Brad
ford, negro, charged with the murder
Of Patrolman John j. Mccormick.
When Assistant District Attorney Nc
Donald attempted to introduce admis-
sions Bradford is alleged to have made
to the police following his arrest JUS
tice Golf turned toward Judge Nc
Intyre and said:
"This is relic of the Spanish In
QUESTION. A prisoner in dazed con-
dition would be likely to make any
statements. He was beaten by several
policemen and was in semi-conscious
condition.
"Yet the District Attorney wants to
make use of the statements he made in
that condition in a case where it is
matter of life and death to the defend
ant"
Judge Mcintyre held that these state-
ments could be admitted as evidence.
Detectives Thomas j. Rowan and
station, were placed on trial at Police
Headquarters yesterday charged with
beating Solomon Blumberg, a driver,
who called at the police station to re-
port the loss of his truck, in an effort
to make him confess participation in
the theft.
Rowan was convicted of assault in
the third degree in Special Sessions,
but was released on suspended SEN
tence. He testified yesterday that he
had lifted Blumberg from his chair
by the lapels of his coat in the course
OF his Interrogation, but denied beating
him. Kenny denied assaulting the
truckman. The trial was adjourned.

Bankers to Refuse
Pr0fiteers Loans
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, March 2e.-Tenants in
this city, in their war on profteering
landlords, to-day enlisted their strong
est ally-the real estate banker The
bankers announced after an informal
conference with officials of the Ten
ants Protective League that plans
would be made at once to discourage
profiteering and bring about a stable
rent situation.
The system employed by the banks
Will after manner be the same as
that used by the banks in New York
to restrict speculation in Wall Street.
Landlords and agents who persist in
charging exorbitant rents will find.
upon making application for a loan,
that the rates have been raised to
such an extent as almost TO amount
to a refusal
The tenants association, which
within few weeks has grown from a
small "soviet" to an organization with
nifty arbitration boards and d down
town office, will play an important
part in hunting the profiteers. The
league to-day received it's first supply
OF confidential report" blanks. These
are to be filled out by the complaining
tenant. They take the form of an
affidavit and must be countersigned bv
notary public.
Some Of the points covered are:
Mature Of complaint" former rental
per month";" "new rental demanded /"
name of owner of the building"
name of renting agent" what would
you consider reasonable rental %
will you agree to a rental arrived at
by arbitration ?" "do you have trouble
with heat, hot water, plumbing. or
garbage disposal?"
The tenants organization works on
the theory that complaint not worth
putting in writing is not q grievance
Complaints will be investigated hv
arbitration boards and the names Of
landlords found to be in the profiteer-
Ing class will be turned over to the
banks as we'll as to the health depart-
ment. The latter department has agreed
to cooperate in every way and to exact
the closest observation Of the sanitary
ordinances from these landlords COM
planned against.
Major H. S. Standish, head of the
league, said that many of the tenants
had wrong idea of profiteering.
IA landlord is justified in raising
his rent up to 30 per cent, we feel"
he said. Lots of people think that
when IS or SO has been added to their
rent they have light to kick: but a
landlord has rights, we are not for
getting this"
Major Standish said that the orrani-
zation had grown to such an extent
that individual members were no longer
accepted,
The arbitration boards have been
established in fifty zones. Each board
itself consists of real estate dealer.

ing to 1000 yards. The action was won
by the expert maneuvering and tech
nical skill of Grant. who finally sank
his adversary, although his own ship
was riddled by shell and on fire. After
the battle he received wireless mes
sage from Mr.. Churchill, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, saying: "Well done.
You have fought Il fine fight to sue
cessful finish"

his service, and was appointed shortly
