to definitely fix the responsibility for
the syndicate's regn of power
squarely upon the City Hall.
II it can be learned just where the
rake-off from the games finally goes,
and it is believed this is Brundage's
object, scandal without equal will
be created in law enforcing circles.
$4,000 Per Week To Syndicate
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 per
week is paid in TO the syndicate
through Second Ward gambling
houses. A rake-off of 10 per cent OF
the gross receipts is demanded from
each game. One game alone on the
South Side is known to pay 5000 per
week. Where this money finally goes,
no one knows, because the organlza-
ton is so we'll handled. and the veil
OF secrecy is so closely drawn, that
today, after years OF Syndicate
Reign the actual heads OF the or
ganization are still unknown.

the champions OF justice and human
ity." says the editorial, yet they do
not hesitate to trample upon these
very principles and perpetrate the
foulest deed ever conceived"
The crime referred TO is the burn
ing alive. at the stake, of Henry
Lowery, at Nodena, Arkansas, oil JAN
uary 20 1921.
The matter quoted by the Asian Re
view was press publicity matter sent
out to the foreign press OF the world
by the New York office OF the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People
1T is an indelble stain the edi-
torial continues, "ou the name oil
America that in this enlightened age
such crimes should take place publicly
and the offenders go unpunished It
goes to demonstrate the utter callous-
ness OF hearts OF the American public
Lynching is possible in the United
States because the spirit OF America
is in favor OF it If this were not true
this foul crime would never have
grown to its present proportions nof
would any Of the more than three
thousand lynchings during the past
thirty-two years have taken place"
The editorial concludes by saying
that creation OF strong public opn
ion throughout the world will b,

Transit Commission Reveals
Wide Difference in Book
Values and Real Ones.
FIVE INVESTIGATIONS ON
Labor. Building. Police Sean
dal and Market Graft All
Under Investigation.

Here are the principal developments
in the five municipal and State in
vestigations which were in session
here yesterday:
The Transit Commission began its
investigation of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company and subsidiary lines
and companies, seeking to show that
it's mistakes have been similar in kind,
il less glaring in degree, than those
revealed during the inquiry into the
affairs of the Interborough. The testi-
mony dealt with the dividends OF the
company, it's methods OF listing as
sets, and in instances of what the at
torney for the commission alleges was
over capitalization.
The Lockwood committee investi-
eating housing and building situations
went into the attitude OF labor or
ganizations whose restrictions have
made labor less efficient and added to
the cost of buildings. The committee
also continued it's efforts TO get at
the facts concerning the collection and
disbursement of the funds OF Local
No. 8 of the International Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers.
The session OF the Charter OF Re-
vision Commission was enlivened by
the action of Comptroller Charles L.
Craig, who continued his efforts TO get
the commission to go on. record at
xxsf1f
were important. One of these was
resolution which he offered empower
ing the city to operate public utility
for which 1t now has authority to
grant a franchise. He also tried to
put through a resolution submitting
any new charter TO referendum.
Another step forward in the attempt
of the Meyer committee to substantiate
the charge of it's chief counsel that the
city has lost SIS. 100000 through grating
in pier leases was made by the intro
duction of testimony showing that the
Kerr Steamship Company paid $4,000.
which went as a ponus to a man who
got n lease on a pier at Thlrty-third
street, Brooklyn.
Commissioner of Accounts David Hirsh-
field that they had no knowledge Of tho
alleged $4,000 fund to corrupt the civil

ment would have withheld especially
