Arnstein Wins a Point:
Raid Evidence Barred
Court Rules Invasion of His
Apartment by New York
Police Was Illegal

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-No evi-
dence obtained by detectives who raided
the New York apartment of Jules W.
(Nlcky) Arnsteni can be introduced bv
the prosecution in the case Of Arnstein
and others on trial here on charges of
cconspiring to bring stolen securities
into the District of Columbia. Justice
Gould ruled to-day. The court charac-
terlzed the action Of the detectives as
clearly contrary to constitutional
guarantees"
Members Of the New York police
force earlier in the day had told of
tracing man known to them as 81. W.
Arnold" from the address he had given
at the Pacific Bank to an apartment on
West Eighty-third Street, which, they
SAID, was found to be the home of
Arnstein. Among the documents seized
there, they added, were several can.
celed checks of Nick Cohn, the missing
defendant.
The question Of whether confessions
alleged to have been made by Wilen w,
Ea asterday, Norman S. Bowles and David
". Sullivan, other defendants with
'Arnstein. should be admitted as evil
dence was taken under advisement bv
Justice Gould. The defense contendcd
that these had been obtained. under
promises of immunity by Assistant
District Attorney Dooling, of New
York. Dooling, recalled to the stand
denied that he had made any promises
beyond agreeing to say to the courts
IN certain contingencies that the three
mad assisted the state in preparing its
case.

tors actually purchase, immunity or
are merely led to believe they do. In
either case the practice of using the
police to solicit funds is a sinister
abuse of official power"

Two Unaccounted
For After Lighter
Tompkins Sinks
Deck Hand Drowned When
Lifeboat Containing Cap
tain and Four Other Men
Capsizes Off Bridgeport

Henry Arkenau, thirty-six years old,
OF 2S1 Third Street, Jersey City, a
deck hand, was drowned when the
steam lighter Calvin Tompkins, of New
York, foundered two miles outside OF
Bridgeport harbor Tuesday. CAPTAIN
Thomas La Compile, of New York, and
John Kane, of Brooklyn, mate, two
OF the five men reported missing, were
picked up in Long Island Sound yes
terday and taken to Bellevue Hospital.
A dispatch from Bridgeport yester-
day said that portions Of the lighter
came ashore at Seaside Park and seven
members of the crew had been rescued
rear that point. These included II
Broadhurst, Of Elizabeth, n. j., Chief
engineer; John Haggat. Of New York;
Albert Steckles, Elizabeth N. j.: Harry
Forrest Brooklyn; L. L. Fleeange,
Elizabeth, N. j.; Joseph Tremanas,
New York, and Alexander Wasiliwaski
Elizabeth. n. j.
According to the story Of these
survivors, when the lighter foundered,
seven men put off in small rowboat,
while Captain La Compile, with four
members of the crew. left in another
boat. The boat bearing Captain La
Compile capsized. Then men in the
first lifeboat attempted to find them,
but had no success. With Arkenau
known to be dead and Captain La
Compile and Kane rescued, only two
men remain unaccounted for. These
are George Blythe, of Elizabeth, n. j.,
and Michael Kaplesky, of jersey City.

six months and retire their pension
VIII be $4,000 a year, one-half the sal
airy of the chief Inspector. Commits
sioner Enright and Jonn Daily, the sec
Hnd deputy, are now eligible for re-
tirement on this pension, according to
the law Mr.. Gnright had passed il
1919
THE deputy commissioners point out
that very often it is necessary to cor
rect the classification of a crime. Ger
tainly it is if detective can't solve
the crime. If it is burglary and no
arrests are in prospect the case can
cording to the amount stolen. If a man
Is found dead and the detective can't
ind the murderer it is very simple to
say that he fell and broke his skull
or that he shot himself.
"The deputy commissioners say that
the old bomb squad men were not re-
instated upon their return from war
service because their places had been
taken by men who made good in their
absence. What does he mean made
good? Did they ever get any Of the
Perpetrators of bomb outrages. such as
the Wall Street explosion? Maybe
that ) secret Lne commission Is
withhold;ng from the reporters. Or
maybe he means that they made good
in arresting Spitters Oh the Staten
Island ferry.
LaheJs Record on Force
Both Of MIR. Enright's aids say that
Lahey was the right man to be made
the new Chief of Police-the first time
the office has been in existence since
the days Of Dcvery. He might be a
fine cop, but as detectivc-well, what
did he ever do to cntitle him to head
the detective bureau?
"Lahey doesn't know the detective
job. l have heard him call in Johnny
Cray, when Lahey was Deputy Com
missioner and Cray was an Inspector,
and demand that he do something that
vas almost impossible.
81 have heard him call in detectives
on various cases and tell them that he
was dissatisfied with their work. The
men explained that the time was not
ripe to make arrests, and Lahey re-
Piled: Go out and get somebody. |
don't care who it is. Make arrests.
And the men did, only to have the poor
victims discharged by city magistrates g
after being held for tho forty eight
hours, the limit allowed to hold prs-
oner on d policemans short affidavit.
These methods forced detectives to
make more arrests, many of them Abso-
lutely unnecessary, and it also made it
possible for Enright and Lahey to
make good showing in their re-
ports"

Reinstatement
Power Is Taken
From Enright
Hylan Names Two Boards of
Review for Police and
Firemen and Will Pass
Personally ON Decisions
Lahey onOne Commission
O'Brien Is Chairman of
Both; Officials Silent on
the New Arrangement

Police Commissioner Enright, in a
formal statement issued a week ago
last night, said that, despite The Trib-
unc ard others, he would continue to
re'nstate policemen who had been dis
missed by his predecessors ''for COM
paratively trivial offcnses or to satisfy
personal grudges."
Mayor Hylan overruled Commission
er Enright yesterday when he an
nounced that hereafter he will pass
on all applications for reinstatement
after board Of review had heard the
appeal.
The Mayor, however, held one infu-
entail member Of Enright's cabinet on
the board Of review-Chief Inspector
William j. Lahey. The chairman of
the board will be Corporation Counsel
OBrien, and the other member will be
Fire Commissioner brennan.
Cases Go Back Twelve Years
In its survey of the Police Depart
mcnt The Tribune said that Mr.. En-
right had reinstated thirty-four men
who had been dismissed by and refused
reinstatement by former commission
ers, and that some of the men had been
refused reinstatement By the courts.
Some Of the cases went back as far
as 1908, and the Citizens Union charged
that many Of the reinstatements vio-
lated the law.
Commissioner Enrights reply was
that many # the men he had rein
stated were victims Of personal spite
or had been uniustly dismissed for
trivial offenses. He added that the
worst criminals were given another
chance, but that a patrolman could
not expect as much consideration as a
criminal "and he is lucky to get as
much consideration as dog" He
said that all but one man he had
restored to tho department had made
good, and he would continue to hea1
cases and if the facts warranted re-
instate men regardless of what the
newspapers said.
A similar board Of review has been
appointed to pass upon the applica-
tions of lircmen for ate1hent
The Corporation Counsel is also chair
man Of this board, and the other mem
bers are Police Commissioner E,nright
and Fire Chief John Kenlon. In each
New-York tribune., 1920-12-16

instance, it is understood, the Mayor
has reserved the right to have the
final say On reinstatements by direct
ing the boards to report to him their
findings. Then he is expected to in
struct the Police or Fire Commissioner,
as the case may be, as TO their final
action in the matter.
Hylan Holds All Power
The HyIan boards of review differ
from the old Mitchell boards in this
one important particular: The present
Mayor is the supreme judge of rein
statements. while under the former
administration the commissioners OF
the two departments acted directly in
accordance with the findings of the
boards. Mayor Hylan has the situation
wholly within his own hands.
No official announcement was made
of the appointment of the new police
or fire boards of review, and city of
ticiels were reluctant to discuss the
matter yesterday except to verify the
made recently. 1t was said that the
new boards had not yet begun to func-
ton.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien, chair
man Of both boards. when asked about
them, admitted that the Mayor had
made the appointments "a few weeks
ago." but declared that the latter was
more familiar with the matter than he
was.
Something was done along that
line" said the Corporation Counsel
"but ! am not very familiar with the
matter. You better see the Mayor"
Pressed for further information on
the subject. Mr.. O'Brien called his first
assistant GEORGE p Nicholson on tba
telephone, and verified the makeup of
the boards of review.

marble staircase. Turning to the left
she headed for the Commissioner
office and burst into the room. There
Miss O'Grady was met by the imper-
turbable Phillips, the handsome and
uncompromising cop who guards Mr.
Enright's lines Of com munication.
Policeman Phillips has probably seen
Miss O'Grady thousand times or more
but he greeted her yesterday with that
non-skid mechanical diplomacy in which
he has become perfect. He came to at
tention, clicked his heels together and
accepted the envelope.
Miss OGYady hurried from the build
ing without divulging the nature of her
visit. Efforts made by reporters to OBJ
tain an official statement from Com
missioner Enright as to what the en-
velope contained were quenched and
Queled by the smoke screen of secrecy

the Industrial districts Of Czecho-
Slovakia, but "proletariat dictator
ship" has been established in several
cthers, according to Central News
dispatch from Vienna to-day. Many
casualties have occurred in conflicts
at some points, it is said.
At Bruex, adds the message, five
strikers were killed and fifteen others
injured in conflict with the military.
At Goeding, Moravia, the workers
seized the postoffice and railway sta
tion and proclaimed general strike.
They disarmed many soldiers, say the
adviccs, but fresh troops arrived and
fred on the rioters, killing and in
juring many Of them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Czecho-
Slovak Legation has received cable
dispatch from Prague. capital of
Czccho- Slovakia, Aying that the gov
ernment had refused to entertain the
demands Of the Communists, who havo
sought to call a general strike.
The dispatch says the army is pcr--

loyal TO the government. Attempts to
call out the workers of the important
Skoda works have failed.

constitute an official resignation.
The problem is said to have been

Gerdvinc, who killed man in Mid

death house when Lieutenant Becker
was sent there for the murder Of Her

taught the man English and, according
to the judge who presided at Gerd-
