SUBMERGED MOTOR

Brooklyn Man Says IL Was
Stolen From Him.

The owner of the automobile found
Saturday in ten feet OF water just on
the Shore Drive embankment at Sixty
seventh street, Brooklyn. appeared while
the police tug John f. Hylan was sal
vaging the machine yesterday morning
and dissolved the mystery It's discovery
created. He is George Caplan Of 1878
Union street, Brooklyn. and he told the
police the car was stolen from him FRI
day night while he was visiting friends.
Because the overcoat found In the au-
tomobile was not identified by Caplan az
his. the police think whoever stole the
machine lost control of it, but leaped out
before 1t left the embankment. or forgot
about the coat in the excitement of get
ting rid of the car. No bodies were
found In the waters near by.
The coat contained a letter signed

of the owner of the coat. A despatch
from that city stated that Johnson, a ne
gro. has brother in Mount Clay, N. Y,
who was intending to ship on a tramp
steamship to Europe.
The police worked all Saturday trying
to raise the machine with graphing
irons and ropes. They got 1t to the sur
face long enough to take out the coat
but the car slipped back. The crew OF
the tug worked several hours yesterday
morning before they got the machine
aboard.

MANY DUE TO PLEAD
IN HOUSING CHARGES
Sc individuals and Corpora

dictments To-day.

Although the days of the Lockwood
committee seem numbered as a result Oh
recent happenings in Albany. fifty-six
individuals ana corporations are ex-
pected to plead this morning to blanket
indictment flcd against them as result
of the committees activities, and before
the week is over another batch Of in
dictments probably will be filed against
another of the groups that have been
subjected to the committees inquiry.
These charges and others on which
there already have been pleadings will
provide work enough to keep the stan
OF special deputy attorneys general who
have been named to conduct the prose-
cution busy for a long time after the
committee has ceased its. activities. In
addition, should Samuel Untermyer de-
eide to continue as volunteer counsel to
the committee, despite the action OF the
Legislature in refusing TO permit him
to carry the housing inquiry into flnan-
citl fields, he probably will devote one
week to drive at other building trades
combines which escaped bombardment
during the committees November and

that he will not go farther than this.
The committees public hearings, II
they are resumed mt all, probably VIII
start within the next two weeks. After
finishing up matters with the building
trades combines and gathering more
evidence for submission to the grand
juries, Mr.. Untermyer will take his win
ter vacation. Upon his return the COM
mittee will prepare Its final report. which
will be submitted to the Legislature at
the next session.
Mr.. Unternnyer Is understood to have
written Senator Charles C. Lockwood.

the plans he intends to follow. The
letter was the result of their talk Satur-
day, at which the refusal of the Legis-

Up New Phase.
SUSPICIOUS REWARDS
MOTOR EVIDENCE GROWS

The activities of certain police officers
in the recovery of stolen securities for
which large rewards have been offered
is expected to be the next phase OF the
system OF police Irregularities to which
Charles S. Whitman will direct the at
tention of the Grand Jury.
This phase in all probability Will not
be taken UP for week or more, because
Mr. Whitman has been gathering more
evidence about the manner In which
members of the force reaped huge har-
vests of cash for merely doing their
duty in recovering stolen automobiles,
and 1t is the special prosecutors inten-
ton to go to the bottom of this situation
before turning to another.
In the belief of many persons VINO are
familiar with the activities OF certain
detectives in the recovery OF stolen Sc
curities, an investigation into the matter
will reveal many points of interest ana
a big batch of material for the Grand
Jury's action. Certain detectives re-
garded at Police Headquarters as par
ticularly favored members of the force
have figured quite conspicuously in ef-
fecting recoveries where large sums had
been offered
A system along this line Is said to
have been built up In the war days
when Liberty bonds were circulated
in such a manner in the financial dis
trict that many weak willed messengers
and other employees were tempted to
filch large quantities of them. 1t was
from this that the gangs of stock and
bond thieves grew, with old time crirri-
inals rushing into this new field OF
activity to take control of the eitua-
tion and gather the larger part OF the
plunder.
simultaneously certain detectives pos
sessed Of considerable influence became
specialists at the Job OF recovering
stolen stock certificates and Liberty
bonds These detectives appeared re-
peatedly in cases involving thefts where
large rewards were offered.
An investigation into this situation
would necessitate subpnnaing and ques-
tioning officials Of several surety COM
panies which bonded bank and broker
age messengers and which offered re-
wards for the arrest of atsconders and
the recovery of their loot.
Mr.. whitman probably Will go before
the Grand Jury to-day to present further
evidence regarding the automobile re-
ward situation.

STATE SOLDIER BONUS
ATTACKED AS ILLEGAL
Protest Filed on EUe OF Issu-
ance of Bonds.

gpcc,al Despatch to THE New York HERALD
New York Herald bureau,
Albany, Jan. 30.
The state is almost ready TO issue tne
$4,000. 900 soldier bonus voted by the
DC ople last election, but may be held UP
bv a taxpayers suit questioning the va
lid'.v of the bond issue.
.'anes NJ. Dean, lawyer. OF jamestown
has filed a protest with the Attorney
General attacking the validity OF the Is
sue on the ground that it conflicts with
the state Constitution forbidding the
State to make a gift to any person or
class OF persons.
Representatives OF the Comptroller
Office have conferred with bankers and
received assurance that the financial in
terests stand ready to take up the bonds.
The fact that the issue was approved by
the people in a referendum is sufficient
guarantee that the. bond issue Will be
sustained, the bankers have stated.
The Comptroller and Atorney-General
will confer with the Governor on the SUBJ
ject in the next day or two. when pol
icy will be determined. The only risk
appears to be that IL the case Is taken to
the courts the future administration in
the State might find its hands tied when
1t came time to taking UP the bonds.

q wholesale Investigation Of New York
city's administration with all its depart

In sentiment on the subject has devei-
oped here in the last few days.
Senator Lusk. majority leader, SAID
to-day that he and his associates are
studying evidence presented by invesu-
gators who have been going into the
affairs of the city government. The
Senator said the evidence would be con-
sidered carefully. and Ii actual necessity
for the inquiry could be established 1t
would be authorized by the Legislature.
Corruption In some city departments

fered. No intimation is given by Sena-
tor Lusk and others handling the ques-
tion as to the details Of what this wrong
doing is and where Il exists
The understanding IL that the informa-
ton has been supplied by investigators
working with the Whitman inquiry into
police affairs and with the Lockwood
Committee on Housing. Leonard M.
Wallstein, associate counsel for the
Lockwood committee. has been in con-
sultation with the leaders here, and Is
said to have offered large amount or
documentary proof to show the necessity
for the inquiry.
More evidence Is to be sent up in the
next few days. It is said. Senator Lusk
has asked for information on several
points to corroborate statements made
IN the papers already in his hands.
When the request for the Legislative
inquiry into the city Government was
presented In the opening days OF the
session TIE leaders were afraid of the
subject and quickly shunted 1t into COM
mittee. where It was believed it would

legislative inqusition which has come
from New York. backed with actual
proof of the need for the inquiry, has
brought the change in sentiment.
Two resolutions dealing with the sub
1ect now are before the Legislature.
One was presented by Senator Robinson
and Assemblyman Steinberg. Another
was offered by Senator Schuyler M.
Meyer of New York.
Mayor Hylan and his supporters
raised the cry that the proposed inves-
tigation was prompted by the traction
interests as blind for movement to
increase fares in New York. That
frightened the legislative leaders for a
time. The fight over the Governors
transit policy has also weighed against
a city inquiry at this tirne the leaders
takin~ the nosition that II would be un-
wise TO endanger the Governors pro-
gramme by ary move which might give
rise to a political charge.
Those considerations have been over
come at least in part, II Is stated. by
the strength Of the actual evidence pre-
sented. The leaders now declare that II
there is corruption and It's existence can
be proven the States duty is to lay II
bare regardless Of the political consid-
erations involved.
The decision will not be reached foi
several weeks. 1t Is practically settled
that if there is a city inquiry new
committee will conduct It. 1t will not
be given to the Lockwood committee.
