FORMER City Chamberlain and
Friend of Gaynor Files Bank
ruptcy Petition.

Charles II. Hyde, formerly law part
ner of William J. Gaynor. City Cham
berlain during Mr.. Gaynor's administra-
ton as Mayor. and the possessor OF a
career more picturesque than that of
any other city official of recent years
filed voluntary petition in bankruptcy
in the United States District Court Tues
day. Because the papers were filed
after the office had closed for the day II
did not become known until yesterday.
Mr.. Hyde listed his assets at only
$780, consisting OF household goods and
his liabilities at s44212, all unsecured
with the largest creditors Mary w.
Mahon and Henry Heistad, executors OF
the William J. Cunningham estate. This
obligation is a Judgment on note for
money lent amounting to S20.115.
Mr.. Hyde when in the public eye as
a municipal office holder was excep
tionally well known. He became Mr..
Gaynor's campaign manager when the
latter ran for Justice of the Supreme
Court. and when he was elected Mr..
Hyde became counsel to the Sheriff of
Kings county. Almost as soon as JUS
tice Gaynor was elected Mayor Mr.. Hyde
was appointed City Chamberlain, where
he handled millions of the city's money.
Soon after taking Office Mr.. Hyde's
administration was troubled by serious
charges and he resigned after his ar
raignment on charge OF bribery. He
was also dsbarred from the practice of
law, but was reinstated later when the
Appellate Division reversed his con-
viction. He now has a law office in %
Cedar street.

trip to Florida In January, 1911. Mr.
Hyde gained new prominence. He left

committee was seeking evidence in con-
nection with the passage of the Hart
Agnew anti-race track gambling bills
A witness had testified that Mr. Hyde
attended a meeting at which $500, 900
was subscribed to defeat the bills
When he left town the lawyer was
reported TO have been seen headed south
on his houseboat. Stop-a- While. With
his houseboat aground on "A mud bank

PLAN TO POISON

Experiments which may lead to the
poison into the alcohol which is released
for manufacturing purposes are being
conducted in the technical division of
the prohibition offices IN Washington.
Charles r. O'Connor, State prohibition
director, told the Aroma Club. composed
OF perfumery and essential oils manu-
facturers, at luncheon In the McAlpin

ing some such means OF putting an end
to the sale of alcohol for beverage pur-
poses
In asking the manufacturers for their
cooperation toward stamping out the
illegitimate use OF alcohol, Mr.. O'Con-
nor pointed TO the enormous increase in
the number of persons who applied for
permits to manufacture after prohihi-
ton went into effect
prior to prohibition" ne said. there
were in this district possibly 125 legiti-
mate concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of essential oils. barber supplies
and perfumeries. But after prohibition
more than 1000 permits to manufacture
were issued. and many of the persons
holding these permits we have found by
investigation would hardly be able TO
tell the difference between a graduated
measure and shovel.
1--WE have been investigating these
permit holders for months. requiring
them to submit to an examination as 81
their manufacturing experience and
knowledge, with the result that hum
dreds of them have lost their permits.
We now require man to be a pharma-
cist or chemist to obtain a manufac-
turing permit
Mr.. O'Connor told the members Of the
club that hereafter no firms would be
permitted to enter their line unless they
could prove to him the legitimacy OF
their enterprise.
