thefts and recoveries.
Mitchell, who is under $4,000 bail on
a charge of attempting to steal an
automobile here Saturday night,
laughed as he told how he fooled
Whitman.
"They caught me in New York with
an automobile I stole in Newark, but !
got out Of it by handing Whitman a
lot of bunk" ne is alleged to have told
the Newark police. He offered to tell
the District Attorney here every
thing if he would make terms with

Mitchell is said by the police to be
one Of the most skillful automobile
thieves in the East. He admitted that
he has stolen at least twenty-five Ford
cars in Newark this year. On one oc-

The prisoner is said to have told the
police that he took the cars to garage

The committee had counted on COST

Defying orders of their union chiefs

noon to continue the strike until they
won their demands for higher wages.
Tonight the Publishers Association
gave out the following statement:
illegal and unauthorized strike con-

Alaskan Control for Harding
Favored by Administration

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The Ad-
ministration is desirous of seeing
enacted bill authorizing the President
to control the various Federal Agencies
dealing with Alaskan activities. The
subject came up to-day at the Cabinet
meeting and was discussed we'll beyond
the point where it terminated at the
conclusion Of the last meeting. Secre-
tary of State Hughes did not attend to-
days meeting, as he is in Providence,
r. l., attending the fortieth reunion of
his class at Brown University. Secre-
tary of War Weeks was not present.
The President has made no secret of
his interest in Alaska, both prior to and
since his election. He feels the
agencies having to do with the Admin
istraton of Alaska are too widely dis
tributed among the War, Navy, Inte-
rior and other departm and is de-
sirous of seeing the Federal relation
ship to Alaska coordinated.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-15

are determined that it shall probe
every graft situation regardless of who
is exposed.
Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson,
nephew of the late Colonel Roosevelt,
who, with Assemblyman Joseph Stein
berg, fought before and after the
Legislature met last January for an
immediate investigation Of graft condi-
tions in the city administration and in
the county governments within the city
said yesterday:
The trouble is that the comriittee
should have been appointed in
January. Then the committee could
have gone to work doing the prelimi~
nary work it is now doing and when
the Legislature adjourned in April
the committee could have started in
with it's public hearings. But the de-
lay and it's consequences canrot be
charged to the committee, but 20 the
early in the session and who at that
time could not see the need for an in
vestigation. The responsibility IS on
their shoulders"
Blocked At Every Turn
Senator Schuyler M. Meyer, chair
man of the committee who was seated
beside Robinson, added;
"We start on an investigation on
some phase Of n particular department
expecting to finish in three days In
stead we find it takes three weeks to
do the work"
Meyer, when asked what ho com
mittee would do in view Of the refusal
OF Enright to lend Honest Dam
Costigan to the committee, said:
oh H.,
comes to the city. The committee will
confer with him as to what course il
should pursue. However, when We
shall need Costgan's services we shall
subpoena him.
The committee yesterday continued
it's investigation of the various special
funds of the Police Department and
had before it for private examination
Michael Walsh, director of the Home
Service Division, a bureau of the de-
partment, which sells more than $780,
900 worth of groceries and clothing tc
the members of the force annually.
Other quasi-priyatc enterprises in
the department which have special
half million dollar mark have already
received the attention of the investi-
gators. A system of bookkeeping main
tanned by some of the clerks handling
these funds has bewidered the inves-
tigators, who are trying to learn the
sources of the money and who event
ually gets it. Some of these funds lend
money to others. One instance on
which the witness Walsh was interero-
gated yesterday was the loan of $4,000
from the amount realized on the sale
of tickets to the police athletic games
to the home service fund, which is man
aged by Walsh.
Curley Ordered Out
Chairman Meyer yesterday ordered
Assistant Corporation Counsel Thomas
F. Curley, a former Assemblyman,
from the headquarters of the legisla-
tive probers. Meyer was offended at
Curley for giving information to news
paper men concerning the city en-
ployees who were summoned before
the committee Curley said that he
was acting under the instructions Of
his chief, Corporation Counsel John P
O'Brien.
Meyer, after Curley's departure, sent
a letter to the Corporation Counsel
which read:

All hope of getting together" has
about been abandoned by the 1ndepen-
dent members Of the Legislature. The
Leaguers seem to be bent on letting
all laws under which public funds have

the continuance of the same squander-
ing and freezing" Of public funds
that has now absorbed about $4,000
900 that should be available for the
use of school districts, townships,

the other hand insist that under the
present financial stringency all
thought about developing or expert
menting with state-owned creameries,
coal mines, ETC., should be sidetracked
and our basic industrial program laws
should be amended so as to make it
possible to try out fairly and honestly
the mill and elevator, and homebuild-
ers' experiment, and to put the Bank
Of North Dakota in shape to function
efficiently as rural credits bank or
farm loan agency. The Independents
take the position that the voters of
the state do not want any more money
devoted to industrial experiments than
what is needed for this tryout until
money becomes more -~'entiful for
other purposes and the success or fail
ure of these industries is established.

Uncle Sam appears to have been a
failure in dealing with the Indians.
For more than twenty-five years our
government has conducted school for
the Indians at Fort Totem, N. D.
During the past week the government
was asked to authorize an appropria-
ton Of $S2, 100000 for clothing, feeding
and schooling for 400 Indians at this
mission. For more than quarter of
a century the Indians at Fort Totten
have been receiving an education, yet
Uncle Sam is called upon to provide
the food and clothing for the children.
What has education been doing all Of
this time? Where are the parents
and what are they doing to provide
for their children?

an opportunity to earn some money.
England appears favorable to giving
them chance, but one observer says
the way France acts toward Germany
reminds him of the fellow who is down
on his stomach with his nose in the
dirt and every time he shows signs Of
life, his nose is poked down into the
dirt some more. Germany can recover
quickly if given just little chance
far too quickly to suit France, who is
afraid she'll get too strong and become
a menace again.
