CITY INVESTIGATION
EXTENDS TO A WIFE
Bernard A. RuOff, Swasey's
Assistant. VIII Produce
SpOuse's Account.

Bernard A. Ruoff. assistant to Tax
Commissioner swasey, Republican dis
trict leader in Brooklyn. was called be-
fore the Legislative Investigating Com
mttee yesterday In connection with an
examination OF affairs I'm the Tax De-
partment.
During the inquiry II developed that
some of Mr.. Ruoff's property was In his
wife's name. He Is well 10 do and has
considerable investments In mortgages.
it was stated. The witness volunteered
to produce record OF Mrs. Ruoff's hold
inss and that was accepted by the COM
mittee as entirely satisfactory.
The incident furnished David Hirsh-
ield Commissioner of Accounts. with an
opportunity to renew his attack on the
committee. In statement given out
evidently with the Endorsement OF the
city administration Hirshfield charged
that the bank accounts of the wives of
many commissioners and other officials
were being subpnnaed by the committee.
The statement met with prompt denial
from Senator Meyer. chairman OF the
committee.
Ruoff is a friend of the Mayor and
member of the Democratic committee in
the district where the Mayor resides in
Bushwck. Hirshfleld said a transcript
of the Mayors bank account showed
that every two weeks Mr.. Hylan de-
posted his pay check from the city
and drew against 1t for his living ex-
penses. The Mayor has less money in
the bank to-day than when he went into
Office. That information was not sought
by the committee.
In his attack on the legislative inves-
tigation Hirshheld said he knew the
committee had contracted TO spend the
500, 900 authorized for it's expenses and
that the cost of the inquiry to the State
would be close to $500,o0o.
Senator Meyer said he was unable
to announce positively when public hear
ngs will be started. The committee Is
ready 10 proceed he added, but cannot
begin until Elon r. Brown, chief coun-
sell arrives.

SURVEY WORLD BY WIRELESS
Scheme to Be Tested in Determining
the Boundary Between South and
West Australia.

It is proposed to utilize wireless
telegraphy in determining the exact
position of the boundary between
South and West Australia. The bound
ary is fixed by act Of parliament as
the 129th degree of longitude east
Of Greenwich. The exact position Of
the longitude will be ascertained by
the use of time signals from a high
power wireless station situated at
some point between Greenwich obserya-
tory, in England, and Sydney, in Aus
tralia, the signals being received 81
multaneously at both stations.
Most of the great observatories OF
the world are now collaborating in q
redetermination of the longitudinal
division of the, earth's surface by
means of wireless time signals, and
this; is one of the earliest uses of the
system to settle q disputed position.
Z Given favorable static conditions, it
has. been found that signals from the
Lyons wireless station, in France, can
be received in Australia as Wen as at
Greenwich, and signals from other sta
tions, more favorably situated, are also
being tested. The cooperation Of the
United States as we'll as the British
government has been invited. The
scheme is the first step toward a COM
prehensiye determination of the whole
longitudinal survey. of Australia.
