DR.. Miller complains that Enrich, by
promises and gifts, succeeded in win
ming from him the affections Of his

"Why did you pick Mr.. Whitman for
this particular wcrk?" was the next
question.
"Does any one have to be told about
Whitman? Is it necessary to issue q
certificate indicating Mr.. Whitman's
ability?" he replied, with more heat
than he had previously exhibited dur
ing the interview.
Mr.. Swan said that, so far as he
was concerned, there was no bad feel
ing between Ex-Governor Alfred E.
Smith and himself, and that at no time
had Charles T. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hall, or any of his assistants at
tempted to bring any influence to bear
on him in either. the disposal Of patron
age or the handling of cases.

Hall is not Interested in.the Police De-
rartment," he added 81 know thai

Mr.. Swami added that the Whitman
investigation, having indicted two ro-
lice captains for illegally accepting
had legitimately accepted gifts from
citizens to feel they were subject to
prosecution. Mr.. Swami said that Mr.
Whitman and the grand jury had no
such object in mind:
Nine Votes for Appropriation
At to-days meeting Of the Board Of
Estimate Mr.. Swann's request for a
1000 appropriation to carry on the
Whitman investigation will come up
! for action. twill then be referred to
the Board of Aldermen.
1t is believed that the appropriation
will be approved by the Board of Esti-
mate. A survey of the votes in the
board show nine of the sixteen for the
proposition. The nine comprise Comp
troller Craig, three votes; Borough
| President Van Name Of Richmond, one;
President La Guardia of the Board of
Alderman, three, and Borough Presi-
Mayor Hylan, who holds three votes,
when subpnned before the grand jury,
assured Mr.. Whitney that he would do
everything in his power to assist the
investigation. He NAV vote for the
proposition. The attitude Of the
Borough Presidents of Queens, Brook
! lyn and the Bronx is not known.
The action tomorrow, however. is
only the first step in the move to get
the money necessary to successful in
vestigaton. If the appropriation is
approved by the Board of Estimate it
must then be referred to the Board
Of Aldermen for approval.

hope some of the many people
who have spent their lives in chari-
table and philanthropic work will
come forward and show how, if we
had campaigned hard enough for
Thrift generation ago, most of
our charitable and phi1anthroplc
work would not have been needed
in this generation, and how, if we
will do so now, many Of our other
wise future objects of charity will
become thrifty and useful citizens.
I also hope some one will come for
ward and tell in convincing way
how much pleasanter and easier it
would be to campaign now to put
money in mems pockets, money in
their bank account and securities
in their strong boxes rather than
go out on many campaigns in the
future and beg some thrifty citizen
to take money out of his pocket or
his bank account to provide for
those who have become charity
objects through lack of thrift.
In this letter I will stick strictly
to the selfish reasons why the
Thrift and Investment Movement
should have your support. We all
want better business conditions.
In fact, we must have better busi-
ness conditions. AS a pure matter
of selhshness entirely aside from
the cruelty of it, we can't allow
hundreds of thousands of men to
remain out of employment.
In long business career, in the
latter period of which and for more
than a quarter Of century last
past, l have had to take all or a
greater part of the responsibility
of the enterprises I have led my
associates into, I have never told
them just the rosy side, but have
made them recognize first the diff
hculties which had to be overcome.
I have learned not to take aboard
faint-hearted partners.
Now, don't let us fool ourselves
as to what the present situation is
which confronts this country.
Hundreds of thousands of men
are out of employment, and the
number is still growing.
Import and export business is
almost at a standstill.
There was never such need for
vast financing and never such
seeming handicaps to its accom-
plishment.
We are still in the period of re-
adjustment, and the cost of many
things must be brought down be-
fore industry can fully resume on
normal basis.
Many merchants, jobbers and
manufacturers are Over-stocked.
We are working under Federal
Revenue Law which is an effective
barrier to many special building
and business activities that might
be undertaken and which law
offers serious obstacles to most of
the everyday fundamental needs
of business.
And last, but not least, many of
our aggressive business men have
been crimped by losses of capital
and their vitality and deternina-
ton sapped by worry.
The other side of the picture is
this:
First of all, we are sobered and
are dead in earnest.
Our financial system and our
financial institutions have proved
themselves able to cope with sit
