Terms Declared Violated
Supreme Court Issues a
Show Cause Order
Against Commissioner

Allegatons that John ?. Leo, Com

nored contract legally awarded to the
Fradus Contracting Company, Inc,
were made yesterday by Edward NJ.
Grout, counsel for that concern, in an
application to the Supreme Court for an
injunction against the Commissioner.
An ordcr was issued on the represen-
tNtions made by the attorney, whereby
Commissioner Leo and the Rogers e.
Hsgerty Company, OF this city, will be
required to appear before the court
on October II and show cause why
they should not be enjoined.
1t is charged by the F'radus Company
that although it was awarded q CON
tract in July for the unloading of five
scows Of ashes and refuse a dav at
Riker's Island, Rodgers & Hagerty,
whose bid exceeded theirs by $50 scow,
have held their monopoly of unloading.
The history of the case as rected in a
brief prepared by the attorney for the
complaining organization is rs follows
On June 20, 1920, the Rodgers g. Hag-
erty Company entered into a contract
with the city to furnish labor and
equipment to unload scows at Riker's
Island. The contract was to run from
July l, 1920, to June 80. 1921. The
contract. it is alleged, specifically pro-
vided that the Rodgers g. Hagerty
Company would remove their equip
ment at the expiration of the contract.

was important in bringing about con-
dition in which, after thorough exam
ination, and, have no doubt, tro-
mendous lot of kicking and adverse
criticism, he brought about a situation
in which these blocks were specified
not the blocks exactly, but type, in
which these blocks could be built, and
so put in opposition to cast iron as
another type
Q.-What period elapsed between the
payment Of the $500 to Doc Matthews
and the awarding to you of the con-
tract for that particular kind Of con-
struction? A.-The payment was about
ten months later
Q.-Wasn't there some particular
reason for picking out Matthew'S? A
No, sir; only Matthews struck me as
being right. and my judgment wasn't
bad. He was in right and ont right
and all'of those things.

tie same story about going to Detroit
as was recounted by MI. O'Rourke. He
said at first he had known Doc"
Matthews for the last two or three
years, and that he had met him last at
a cigar stand in Borough Hall. He
vas sure it was not in October of 1920,
when Mr.. O'Rourke gave Matthew 5
$4,000 Of the $500 fee, but couldn't
remember what year of the last ten
years when he saw him last.
He also admitted seeing John NJ.
Phillips in the Office of the Bureau Of
Sewers, and that he used his phone
once in while to talk to the Lock
Joint Company, for which Phillips was
the agent.
The hearings will be continued this
morning.

Justice McAvoy held that a jury
would not be justified in finding that
Travis, Wendell and Judson had acted
together to defraud the state in the
purchase OF bonds.
AS to the counts against the de-
fnndants charging the auditing of q
false claim, Justice McAvoy said:
"The claims are not false if the facts
upon which they were founded exist.
That is, that the sum was charged for
the entities and that they were fur
nished: If the proof for falsity goes
upon the lack of reasonableness in the
rate for tho things furnished the
statute, Section 1868, penal law does
not make a prohibition with sufficient
precision to warrant holding the proof

That was the answer of Mrs. Ellen
O'Grady, given to The Tribune last
night, to the statement of Police Com
missioner Enright that his former fifth
deputy resigned in anger because she
was denied "an attractive, high-priced
limousine automobile to enable her to
conduct social and shopping business
in the style which she considered as
befitting her high Office"

been using it, and they're pretty hard

II guess the real reason he didn't
want me to have a car that would run
was that he didn't want me to see
what was going on.

use by the city.
But they all do that" she said.
Many departmental automobile sees

that's one reason I'm in favor of Fords

Mrs. O'Crady said she had in her

1t was matter of regret to her, Mrs.
O'Grady said, that the Police Commits

Meyer committee, Enright interfered.
She said this was thing she had CON

Miss Julia Mohoney Is q Postmaster And
 Not q Postn1istress

A woman who heads postoffice is a postmaster and not a postmis- tress, according to no less authori- ty than Miss Julia Mahoney, for 1s years postmaster of WinsIow.
 Miss Mahoney, who is radically opposed to the postmistress idea, bases her distaste for the word on the; ground that it is not so worded in the law of the Hand.
 There is no such thing as a post mistress" she said yesterday in a discussion of the position she held under Mckinley, Roosevelt, Taft and under the Wilson administra- tion until the completion of her term.
 ernment service Miss Mahoney's office grew from a mere cancellation office to second class postoffice. She did not follow the slogan "Watch it grow" but Make it grow," for she declares a postoffice growth is not so much a matter of increase in population as increase in business.
 Miss Mahoney went after the business when she took over the of- flee 18 years ago. She induced the merchants to buy stamped enve- Iopes. She called at the hotel and the homes and urged the people to post their letters at the office rath- CT than mail them on the train. And she kept right after them so they did not have a chance to for get for a minute that Winslow had an office.
 1t was such a crude little office in those days that it did not even have a safe nor was there a bank in town in which to deposit the funds. Miss Mahoney said she used to carefully tie the money up in whatever happened to be handy and carry it to her home for ssfekeep- ing. The office was 6 by 10 room which she occupied for 13 years. "It was through the efforts of | Ralph Cameron, our representative | in the senate, that we finally se- | cured new building. Frank | Hitchcock, the postmaster general l was in the Winsiow district on . hunting trip when Mir. Cameron | prevailed upon him to visit our | postoffice. 1t was only a short time
 after his call that Wifisiow had [

DIVORCE LAWS ID
 STAND UNCHANGED

The divorce laws of Arizona will not be changed by any act of the Fifth state legislature.
 Governor Thomas E. Campbell yes terday vetoed senate bill 96, which amended the present law by holding that mo suit could be tried until six months after service of summons has been completed.' The bill was dlsap- proved by the governor just "A hours after he vetoed the bill which made in curable insanity the ground for d. yorce.
 Governor Campbell stated in his veto message that he could see no benerlts to be derived, although he could sur mise how many embarrassing and un- | necessary situations might arise from
 such a law.
 | In his message to the legislature the governor urged more drastic divorce l law, but despite the fact that the di yorce problem was argued extensively
 on the floor of both houses and meas
 ures passed, they failed to meet witt
 the ideas of the chief executive. The lower house passed bill, it is under stood, that met with the approval o those who wished to see the law changed. The bill provided that year elapse between the granting of the in: terlocutory and final decree. It w4
 killed in the senate.
