No need for sentiment

Indictment. of
Bailey Arouses
Legislators
Sincerity of Those Who
Oppose Investigation of
the Hylan Administration
Questioned at Albany
Governor Only Smiles
Why Hasn't Swami Done
as Much as Reporters?
Newton Assistant Asks
From a stor Correspondent


ALBANY, Jan. 1.-THE indictment
yesterday of Police Captain William A
Bailey, on the charge Of accepting g
gratuity, on evidence obtained by Trib-
une reporters, has reused official AL
bany to point whore it is beginning
to question the sincerity and the wis
dom of those who came here to oppose
secretly the proposed investigation of
the Hylan administration.
Members of the Legislature are ask
ing, If newspaper men can produce sucN
evidence what can legislative m
vestigating committee. such as is pro-
posed by Senator Theodore Douglas
Robinson and Assemblyman Joseph
Steinberg, produce with all the powers
Of the state behind it?
Oldtimers on Capitol Hill recall that
the Lexow committee had nothing but
rumors on which it predicated its in
vestigation, while the inquiry sought
by Robinson and Steinberg is based on
conditions which are known to the
public.
A member of Attorney General New
tons staff, in discussing the situation
with newspaper correspondents here to-
day, said:
''Let us for a moment forget the vice
and crime which go unpublished. Let
us merely look at the number of pros
ecuting officers who are working under
superseding orders Of the Governor, or
independent of the high priced officials
in the Tammany administration. On
the fourth door of the Criminal Courts
building, which is the headquarters Of
District Attorney Swami, there is
staff of twenty men, working under the
Attorney General and the Lockwood
committee and independent of District
Attorney Swami.
ITO date their labors have resulted
in more than $50 indictments. On the
third floor of the same building Mr.
Whitman and three Republican assist
ants are conducting an investigation
and achieving results.
"In the same building, in Part S Of
the Supreme Court, another Deputy At
torney General, who was appointed to
supersede District Attorney Swann's
staff is prosecuting bribery case
which Mr.. Swann's high priced staff
should be prosecuting. Then there is
another special Attorney General ap-
pointed by Governor Miller assisting
the January grand jury, independents,
again, of Mr.. Swami.
For months back other grand juries
in Mr.. Swann's building have been
served by special Attorneys General ap-
pointed at their request because of
avowed distrust of District Attorney
Swann's staff.
we see the work a $4,000 Corpora
ton Counsel of Mayor Hylsn should be
doing being done by a Brooklyn Re-
publican, Meier Steinbrink This Is an
unusual picture, which in itself con-
dennis the Tammany administration"
Governor Smiles
The newspaper correspondents in
their talk with Governor Miller this
afternoon repeated the statement OF
the members of Attorney General New
toms staff and asked him if he would
comment on it.
at is" observed the Governor, "a
rather unusual situation" Tnen he
smiled. Governor Miller is watching
the developments.

OF black hand, on December 90. The
letter told him to watch out for his

treated as joke. A second letter was
received Christmas Eve, and December
81 third one came, containing a
threat to burn the Turner home and
telling the broker to watch out for his
wine cellar.
1t Is claimed by Greenwich author-
ties that Gibson, who is employed by
Jcssup & Miller, had often driven the
stock broker to his home and had an
argument with him some time ago. Mr..
Walsh to-day said that the state police
had compared Gibson's handwriting
with one OF the letters received By Mr.,
Turner and, following this comparison,
the arrest Was made.
The state police say that Mr.. Turner
