Big Gambling Scandal
May Be Aired in Court
Bird S. Coler Calls OH Burr to
Prosecute if Facts
Warrant

Assistant Corporation Counsel J. H.
Johnson announced yesterday that the
much talked of "Broaodway gambling
case" in which it is alleged $350,O
changed hands. probably will be cx-
planned in court.
Bird S. Colcr, Commissioner of Chari-
ties, has written to Corporation Coun-
sci William p. Burr asking him to in
vestigate the story of which the white
light district has been talking for
some time, and if necessary to insti-
tute action against Louis Wrohnberg.
of 789 West End Avenue, one of the
winners.
This action, it is believed, can be
brought under Section 80S of the Penal
Code, which authorizes the Charities
Commissioner to bring action to re-
cover five times the amount of the win
nings in gambling game for the
benefit of the poor" No such action
has ever been brought, and the dec-
sion in this case, if it comes to trial.
VII! constitute precedent.
Mr.. Burr is at present entirely occu-
pied with the traction problem, and
the trying Of the action will devolve on
MI. johnson. Mr.. Krohnberg has re-
tanned Max d. Steuer as his attorney.
The latter refused to make any com
ment on the statement of the Assistant
Corporation Counsel yesterday.
Schenck and his associates retained
William Travers jerome as their attor-
ney. He refused to say anything about
the case yesterday.

Hoover Regarded
As Unacceptable
TO Republicans
Farmers Would Refuse to
Support Him as Coalition
Candidate, Says Sena-
tor Johnson's Manager

Joseph Scott. of Los Angeles, East
ern manager in charge of the Presi-
Dental boom of Senator Hiram w.
Johnson, of California, says that it is
nonsensical to talk about Herbert
Hoover as a Republican or coalition
candidate for President, as the Re-
publican farmers would not stand for
him.
"Pcrhaps the Democrats, in their
desperation, will take on Mr.. Hoover
rs their candidate, bat the Republi-
cans could not be induced to-" he said.
The backbone of the Republican party
consists Of the belt of states north of
the Mason and Dixon line Most Of
these are agricultural, producing a
large quantity Of cereals, even in the
states containing extensive manufac-
lures, such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan. Mr.. Hoovcr's reputa-
ton as an executive, so far as it
relates to civic affairs, is inscparably
connected with the Wilson administra-
tion. Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Hoover man
aged to fix the selling price of wheat,
but they did not fix the selling price
of cotton. When the figures are an
alyzed, as they have been by various
speakers, both in the House and SEN
ate. they tell story of rank discrim-
nation in favor of the Southern cotton
grower.
1T would be idle to say to the Re-
publican farmer that Mr. Hoover
couldn't do this or that, while, as
matter of fact, the farmer knows what
happened. He knows that the cereal
grower was prohibited from selling his
product at the market price, and he
recalls at the same time that there was
no similar embargo against the cotton
grower. If any one is in doubt about
this matter, let him read the speeches
OF Senator Capper, Of Kansas, on this
subject. The agricultural weekly pa
pers were full of it for nearly year.
and it is raked up again and again.
The wheat farmers probably lost half
billion dollars on account of the
price-fxing of the Wilson Administra-
ton.
at is idle to tell the farmer that the
people in the factory towns got the
benefit of the price fixing He remem-
bers that an arm of the government de-
prived him of thousands Of dollars. To
him that arm of the government was no
less person than Herbert Hoover. If
any one wishes concrete information
concerning Mr. Hoover's standing with
the grain producers of the United
States let him mention Mr.. Hoover's
name to them"
George J. Woods, of Lincoln, in
charge of the Presidential interests of
General Pershing. said that reports
from Lincoln and Omaha over the tele-
phone yesterday warranted him in say
ing that neither General Wood nor any
one else would have any Nebraska dele

Of being the father Of the eighteen
year-old Mitchell girls baby, refuses
to comment on the murders.
The arrest of Marshall followed
soon after Sheriff J. b. Lewis heard
the story of the thirteen-ycar-old
daughter of Mitchell, the only surviv-
ing member of the family. She told
the authorities that she saw Marshall,
whom she said she knew personally,
shoot her father, her siXtecn-year-o

fled when she saw him raise his re-

Mems Clothes to Soar
Spring Prices to Jump 80 P. C.
Despite Simpler Design

Harry Simons, chairman Of the con-
vention and style show of the Ameri
can Designers Association, which be-
gan last night at the Hotel McAlpin
Annex, said that great economies had
been effected in the manufacture of
mems spring clothing. It would be
easier to make, he said, but the prices
would be from 20 to 80 per cent higher
than at present.
Pleats, belts and frills of all kinds
were to be abolished in the interest of
economy, he said, and clothes would be
looser, relieving the strain OR seams
and buttons. Extremely youthful styles,
said Mr.. Simops, might be so frivolous
as to permit of small cuff on the
sleeve.
Clothing workers we're thinking of
devoting only forty hours week to
their business, instead of fortyfour,
he said, and if they decided to do SO
another advance in prices would be
made in the fall The convention and
show will continue to-day.
