GRAFT PROBE SEEN
AS AID TO SWAMI
Decision to Give Whitman
Full Power Regarded as Move
to Win Over Public.
OUT OF TAMMANY HALL
Break With Mayor Revealed in
Refusal OF Hylan to See
Him-Wigwam Nervous.

Having broken with Tamnany Hall,
Mayor Hylan and William Randolph
Hearst, and realizing that his political
fortunes had been swept away District
Attorney Edward Swami decided to give
Charles s. Whitman carte blanche In
the investigation of the Police Depart
ment and other branches of the city
government in an effort to rehablitate
himself before the people. This was
the answer given last night by an un-
usually weIl-informed political source
to the question as to why Democrats
District Attorney should give shrewd
and resourceful Republican prosecutor
such powerful advantages in investi-
eating Democratic offices.
1t was reported that the District At
torney was willing to 60 the entire
route in uncovering anything that pos
sibly could be discovered by Whitman.
There were those who said Mr. Swami
was getting ready to unload some OF the
members of his office staff who are still
In the good graces OF Tammany Hall, al
though they are said to be accountable
for many things for which the District
Attorneys office has been held respoE-
sible.
The decision OF Tammany Hall TO
deny denomination to the District At
have him appointed to the Court of Gen
eral Sessions to smooth out the situa-
tion is known. The break between Mr..
Swami and the Mayor was revealed
when the Mayor refused to see Mr..
Swami at the City Hall. The best he
got was a curt note from the Mayors
secretary. Then both the Mayor and the
Police Commissioner refused to give Mr..
Whitman the police assistance he desired
until threatened with the possibility Of
a request to the Governor for their re-
moval.
That the former friendly relations be-
tween Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Swami had
been severed were indicated yesterday
when in an editorial attack upon Mr.
Whitman and his work as special prose-
cutor 1t was stated in the New York
American
District Attorney Swami put him

whether a man is faithful to them or
to private interests. The

of him was better than ours"

ion that the District Attorney. should

Range of Testimony.
CHARGE AGAINST BRITISH

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.--The provisional
Irish Republic through Its consular SER
vice is building up large and success
full direct shipping service between ire
land and other countries. especially with
the United States, the commission OF one
hundred investigating the Irish question
was told to-day by J. l.. Fawsitt. VINO
said he was the Irish Consul General at
New York. A fortnightly service be-
tween New York and Cork. Mr.. Fawsitt
said. is in operation. and another service
will open soon between Boston and IN
Irish port.
England was said by Fawsitt to be max
ing every effort to prevent direct ship
ping with ireland. He added the opinion
that ION account of her large debt to
tho United States Great Britain prob
ably will not take extreme measures TO
embarrass American foreign shippinx,
although II has subjected every ship 10
search and other indignities.
No passenger vessels are allowed 70
land in ireland direct from America, the
witness declared. adding that this was
"England's effort to st'.ie American pas
senger service that would con2ets with
.heSsSjritish monopoly"
Extensive data and figures intended 10
show the result of British economic re-
preston In ireland were presented by
Fawsltt. who, branching into general
discussion of the Irish question, summed
up the matter as clash between TWO
forms of civilizations, the centralized.
capital controlled Government repre-
sented by Great Britain on one hand
and a cooperative community system
represented by the Irish Republic on the
other.
"The Black and Tans. by wholesale de-
struction Of creameries, dairies. banks
and other industries operated by the
cooperative effort and capital OF the Irish
farmers, are fighting the battles of the
British trusts" he declared. This de-
struction has amounted to an actual loss
of s5,O00,000, but potentially. by Grip
pling a fourishing and growing system,
1t has caused losses amounting probably
to hundreds of millions"
The British Parliament. the witness
said, had taken cognizance of the danger
to English trusts" from the Irish coop
erative system. and had withheld the
Irish development grants, for which, he
asserted. the Irish people had paid taxes
and which were intended originally TO
help the cooperative industries.
Figures from British sources were said
by Fawsltt to show that Ireland paid
f37, 900. 900 taxes to Great Britain and
received only f22, ,00O.000 in expenditures
in return. "The Irish republican Gov
ernment," he added, could administer
the affairs of Ireland with the present
taxes paid England and remit from f2O.-
000, 900 to ESQ, 900. 900"

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 10.
Information reaching Washington dur
ing the last few days indicates that the
Bolshevist pressure against the influence
of Great Britain is seriously threatening
British domination through the Near
East and India. The Inauguration OF
a holy war;" which might extend
from the Caucasus to Egypt and in
volve India, is reported possible. That
portion of the world known as the Near
East with its influences ramifying the
Orient Is to-day regarded as a powder
train.
The attitude OF the Wilson Admins
tration regarding rrangements in the
Near East, such as the Anglo-Persian
treaty and Mesopotamia mandate. Is
understood to be contributing to bring
ing about success OF the Bolshevist ef-
forts to create unrest. but State Depart
ment officials are nevertheless of the
opinion that the refusal of the United
States even to negotiate with Bolshevis.
Russia Is being justified by world de-
velopments.
The definiteness of the reports of In
creasing Soviet influence among the peo-
pie of the Near East Is coincident with
the departure OF LeOnld hraSslne from
London with an Anglo-Russan agree
ment which ne refused to sign but
which he wished to take up personally
with his own Governmental leaders In
Moscow. Lenine has recently been
quoted as saying the Soviets would
force Great Britain to her knees and
compel recognition.
There is singular loss Of interest on
the part of the allied Powers in having
President Wilson mediate the differences
between Armenia and Turkey. The con-
stantly growing power of the Turkish
Nationalists under Mustapha Kemal in
Anatolia Is givipg allied leaders cause
for worry. and Armenia may be used as
pawn to arrange the difficulties in
which the British Empire finds itself
Using the same subtle means adopted
In the case OF China. the Boisheviki
have informed. the Persians that they
would cancel all Russian concessions in
Persia. with the result that Persia has
refused to ratify the Anglo-Persian
treaty and the Persian people are adopt
ing hostile attitude, which Is making
the British position untenabie.
The treaty In It's preamble proclams
the Independence of Persia. but its fol-
lowing clauses practically nullify this
declaration and substitute sole British
influence for that formerly Jointly
exercised.

ALL ROADS SEEKING
PAYROLL REDUCTION
Pennsylvania Is Only Line Yet
to Cut Number of Work
Days, However.
900 LET OUT ON L. I. r. r.
Ten Per Cent. of Employees
Laid Off Since January 1,
Declares Manager.

So far as could be learned from a
canvass Of railroad Offices in New York
yesterday. the other trunk lines will not
follow the plan of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system In effecting a reduction
of 20 per cent. In expenses by reducing
the working days OF employees from six
to five week. This same plan. in ef-
feet. also was announced recently by
the Northern Pacific. whose shopmen
agreed to work FIVE days a week instead
of six.
1t was pointed out, however. that prac-
tically every railroad of the country
has made reductions in shop. operating
and clerical forces since the peak of
traffic was reached last fall and freight
business started OH the down grade. In
practically every case these reductions
in force have been of a drastic nature,
commensurate with the decline in busi
ness
Among the roads whose officials said
yesterday that the five day week. so far
as they know. will not be put into effect.
but Who say that drastic slashing of the
payroll already has taken place, were
the New York Central. New York. New
Haven and Hartford. Delaware AMI Hud-
son, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, Union Pacific. Lehigh Valley and
Erie.
At the office of ]. Fl. Savage. general
manager of the Long Island Railroad, ii
was said that the Long Island had
put into effect a 10 per cent. reduction
in the working force. and that 900 of the
roads 1900 employees have been laid off
since January /. More men will be laid
off, Mr.. Savage said. unless the railroad
receives permission from the courts to
increase fares The 10 per cent. reduc-
tion already made was so managed that
no passenger trains were taken off.
1--WE will not do anything that will In
convenience the public except as a last
resort" 1t was stated at Mr.. Savage's
office. ''but something must be done.
The reduction that has gone into effect
since January 1 was made to reduce ex-
penses, and any further reductions VIII
have the same object"
Samuel Rea. president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system, issued state
ment yesterday declaring that the road
hoped the order for reduction OF ex-
penses would continue in effect for only
a brief period.
"As indicative Of the severity of the
conditions confronting the management,
said Mr. Rea. ''it may be pointed out that
the Pennsylvania Railroad system now
has on it's lines $4,000 idle freight cars,
which is about 20 per cent. of the num-
ber owned. and that the idle cars are In
creasing daily. Freight traffic has de-
clined 20 to % per cent. as compared
with the early fall. and all available in
formation as to the prevailing conditions
in the productive industries and general
commerce indicate that further SLOW
ing down In the freight movement must
be anticipated before recovery can be
reasonably expected"

100 PERISH IN PACHUCA
MINE DAM DISASTER
I 900 Homeless as Torrents
SUeep Mexican TolUn.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 19.-More than 100
persons were drowned and more than
200 others were injured In the disaster
yesterday at Pachuca when two dams
above the city broke and torrents OF
water swept through the lower sections
of that big mining centre; according TO
the latest reports. a thousand persons
were rendered homeless
Several mines were flooded, and II is
believed the death list will be added 10
considerably when the shafts are cleared.
The dams held back water used in
the chemical treatment of ores and many
of the deaths were due to the victims
being poisoned by swallowing this water.
A singular feature about the disaster
was that the two dams broke simulta-
neously. The reason has not been dis
covered.

Senator Lusk sharply criticised to-
day the Democratic members of the Sem
ate for trying TO block the confirmation
OF Charles L. Cadle of Rochester as Su-
perintendent of Public Works. Senator
Walker, the Democratic leader, attacked
the appointment on the ground that Mr..
Cadle has been closely connected with
the New York Central Railroad as an
engineer. Senator Walker said that he
did not question Mr.. Cadle's integrity or
ability. but that the appointee might
subordinate the interests of the Barge
Canal, over which he will have supervi-
sion, to that of the railroads.
His viewpoint must necessarily he a
railroad viewpoint" said Senator Walk
er ITO place railroad man at the
head of our s200.000,000 barge canal Is
about as logical as to place Won Hin

whom he would appoint to office being
small enough to represent a former
