Banks Said to Have
Advanced Millionon
Stolen Rum Permits
Secret Indictment Is Filed
by Federal Jury Follow
ing Inquiry Which Will
Be Resumed To- day

secret indictment has been filed
by the Federal grand jury, following an
investigation into the theft of large
number of withdrawal permits from
the Office of the State Prohibition Di-
rector while former Director Hart was
in charge. 1t was rumored yesterday
that two New York City banks are
deeply involved in the case. 1t was
said that these institutions advanced
more than $1,000,0 600 to alleged illegal
hQuor dealers, who represented the
stolen permits as being issued to them.
When the secret indictment was
filed by Assistant United States Attor-
ney Mattuck the investigation, instead
OF being dropped, was ordered con-
tinued, it was said. Those witnesses
who gave testimony, which is said to
have resulted in the filing of the in
dlctment, have been ordered to appear
again to-day.

Hylan Acts ON Charge of
School Book Propaganda

Mayor Hylan yesterday wrote to
counts, asking for q report with regard
to new history readers and textbooks
which contain anti-American propagan-
da and which have been introduced into
the public schools of this city"
There is no rocnl,' the letter says,
"in any OF the schools for anti -Ameri-
can propaganda or anything which
would besmirch American traditions
and the glory, renown and coed name
of our American Republic and its
founders. 1t is amazing to think thai
any publication attended for the use Of
school children should refer to our
early patriots as 'hot-headed ,nobs,'
'smugglers' and 'pirates'"
Mayor Hylan's letter was issued
within few hours cf publication bv
Mr. Hearts "New York American" Of
an editorial denouncing new history
textbooks used in the public schools as
British propaganda" The editorial
says:
ut is only in recent years, since the
marvellous growth Of British propagan-
da, that even the writer's of our school
textbooks have been reached. Our chill
dren are now being taught that the
founders Of the nation that has enlight-
ened the world were 's,nugglers and
pirates, ="

Jack the Bitter Declares
Lid Off on Left Ears
re Auditory Receiver on Your
South Side Offends Ii Is
in Peril of Removal

Detectives searched the city yester-
day for man who has the habit Of
trying to bite Off left ears. Waltcr F.
McAvoy, of 224b Webster Avenue, met
this man Monday.
McAvoy, with his left ear everything
that left ear should be, went into a
cafe at Amsterdam Avenue and 163d
Street to use telephone. 1t was then
that the person with cannibalistic
tendencies lurched up against him.
"I don't like your looks" he said. "I'll
give you 500 for your left ear"
McAvoy, who was busy in his tele-
phone booth, said: "All right, just wait
minute"
The connoisseur in left ears wasn't
the waiting kind. He sprang at Me-
Avoy, caught him by the throat, threw
one arm around his neck and sank his
teeth into the ear. McAvoy dropped
i leave the $40, or any part Of It, for
the damage that he had done.

waive immunity because. he said, he
didn't know "what questions you are
going to ask me-" James Boyne, as
sistant to Hogan, wouldn't sign a
waiver because, he said, "the rest Of
them is doing it and | am going to do
the same. George W. Whitford, re-
cording secretary, also refused to
waive immunity. Although Lawler re-
fused to sign a waiver, Mr.. Untcrmyer
Put him on the stand for examination.
1t was through Lawlcr that Mr.. I'm
termyer tried to obtain some light on
the finances of the electrical. workers
organization, but with little success.
1t had been shown that about $250,000
year went into the Golfers of the
union on permit cards to non-union
handled by Hogan could be accounted
for. Lawler was particularly ques-
toned by committee counsel with re-
spcct to an item Of $4,000 which tho
union had received within the last
three weeks. Lawler specifically &C.
counted for about $4,000 of the money,
but couldn't tell what happened to the
rest of the money.
Mr.. Untcrmyer went into the status
of the reforms promised by Patrick ].
Crowley, the successor Of Robert p.
Brindcll as the head of the Building
Trades Council Crowley said that the
practices which Mr. Untermyer had
objected to as illegal had been cor
rected, but admitted that certain of
the unions within the council still re-
tanned their old delegates. At least
one of the delegates, W. j. Chapman,
business agent Of the plumbers union,
1t was said in the testimony, had been
indicted with Brindell.

Drive On to Retain
Tenement Department

A campaign designed to prevent the
abolition of the Tenement House De-
partment will be started as a result of
a meeting last night of the city parlia-
ment of the community councils of
the City of New York in the Alder
manic Chamber at City Hall.
William Fink, of Hamilton Council,
declared that change is needed in
the law so as to give the Tenement
House Department power to enforce
sanitary regulations in apartment
houses throughout the city.
Because of the failure of landlords
to make reasonable repairs" he said,
the slums of New York are no longer
confined to the lower East Side and the
lower West Side, but have spead all
over the city. 1t is almost impossible
for the Health Department to enforce
the sanitary laws. Once week COM
plants are heard by a magistrate in
the Municipal Term of the Magistrates
Court. There are over 5000 cases
pending. Because OF the present lack
OF houses many persons are forced to
live in unsanitary buildings."
Another speaker said that the Gland
lord trust is striving to wipe out the
tenement House Department. After d
ferred to the Housing Committee sd
chat definite plans could be formulated
Tor a campaign in behalf of the Tene-
ment House Department.
Secretary cunningham introduced q
resolution calling upon Mayor Hylan
to have the Tax Department include on
tax bills the amount of taxes still
owing to the city so as to end the ac-
tlvitles of "tax lien sharks"
The resolution was greeted with ex.
pressions of both approval and dis
approval and was referred to the Reso.
lutions Committee. Edward II. Morrell.
Director of the Department of Prisons,
Bureau of CONNIE rcial Economics, was

that 1t could be stimulated still fur
ther by an increase in pay.
Tho employers' point Of view was
presented by Christian. G.. Norman,
chairman of tho board Of governors
of the Building Trades Employers As
sociation. Mr.. Norman said that the
association had made many changes in
its methods Of operation and that the
abuses alleged by the Lockwood COM
mittee had been eradicated, and If not
now completely eliminated would be in
time.
Mr., Norman blamed the present high
cost OF building construction mainly
on the abuses of labor unions. He
pointed to the practice of most Of the
unions of keeping down the member
ship to- create a shortage of union
labor: Several electrical workers were
called to the stand and supported Mr..

$3.50 weekly for their permit cards.
Calls Discipline impossible

Among the other union regulations
objected to by Mr.. Norman was the
practice Of foremen being required to
join unions, thus removing all hope Of
discipline among the unionists.
Mr.. Norman referred to an elaborate
ceiling which had been planned for the
new Ambassador Hotel, and which the
architect had executed and had had
csst by artisans outside. The plaster
ers objected to it, saying it should
have been run" by them and not cast
outside. At their demand it was taken
down, something done to it by some of
the plasterers and then put back again.
"No matter how difficult the work or
artistic the job, the plasterers insist on

Mr.. Norman then pointed to the case
