$1,000 to the beneficiary and keep
$1,000 every time member Is good
enough to die. Tho union makes quite
a little money out Of tho deaths of ita
members?"
mo" replied Hogan. mot all the
members pay their asscssments.'
Mr.. tIntermycr then went into the
cases OF four members who had died
and whose benefits were appropriated
by Hogan. Tho first Of these was
James n. Smith, who died IN October.
1918. Hogan insisted that Smith had
tho money He said that he paid the
funeral expenses Of Sib2 out of it. The
will, he said, was drawn by William
D. McNu)ty, who was employed $ the
organization's counsel and who also
drew the other Wills in question.
McNulty was in tho hearing chamber
and said he only vaguely remembered
'such q will and would look it up, Hogan
said that Mrs. Smith never had come
to sec him since her husband died. The
widow, little crippled white haired
old woman, here took the stand. She
said her husband gave her his union
go to the union headquarters and that
said that n man at the headquarters
told her the funeral would be taken
acre of and that is all shc ever re-

Mr., Untermyer then inquired Of
Hogan why he put off claiming the
death benefit of a member until year
and eight months after the man died
Wasn't it because you wanted to
see. if anybody was going to turn up
and claim it?"
Denial Made by Hogan
God, no.' replied Hogan, adding that
if anybody claimed the money and went
through the legal formalites he would
surrender it.
Hogan admitted receiving the bene-
fits Of Frank 1,ully, Martin Quinlan
and Edward j. Gibbons. In each case
he insisted there was will, which had
been drawn, according to Hogan; by
McNulty. Only one of these wills, that
of Gibbons, had been probated, al
though Hogan admitted appropriating
the benefits Of the others. Asked why
he had indorsed the checks in these
instances as "custodian" Hogan said
$50 if anybody claimed 1t | could pay
it."
Mrs. Smith wept when asked by Mr..
Untermycr II she could use the $1,000.
When Hogan said that Frank Tully had
left no relatives, Mrs. Mary F. Seymour
was called to the stand. She said she
was an aunt of Tully and that he had
five nephews and nieces.
Alfred II. Bull, all accountant, who
had been regularly employed to audit

for giving an 90. k." to these books,
that he was sorry and would not do it
again. He said he got paid 80 much per

FEDERAL REORGANIZATION

ltrom the New YORK Tfibune,l
President Harding has much at
heart a scientific reorganization OF
government activities. His letter to
the committee OF which Walter H.
Brown has been made chairman
goes direct to the point, The way
to reorganize is to reorganize. 1t is
useless to trim the government SER
vices a little here and a little there.
The whole structure Is Unbalanced
"a product Of years OF haphazard
expansion.
The President advises a complete
reallocation Of bureaus and agencies

ICES that 1t must be reconstructed,
must surrender one activity and as
sumo another inter-department jeal-
ousles may be moderated and the Ell
fort Of each to hold on to what 1t
has may be checkmated.
What the reorganizers aim at Is
efficiency as well as economy. All
departments may be induced to put
aside their special interests II they
see that all are to be liberated and
rejuvenated by the same process.
