Enright Invites Chiefs in
Hundred Mile Radius
to Talk Over Plans
to Check Crime Wave
Has Devised a System
Details Will Be Discussed
at Luncheon Following
Ora duation Exercises

| Police Commissioner Richard z. En-
right has invited police officials for 100
miles around to have lunch with him
to-day at the Police Club, on Riverside
Drive, so that he can tell them that
there is no crime wave and they can
devise more efficient methods of check
ing Ut.
His plan is to organize the territory
extending from Trenton, N. j., on the
south to Kingston, N. Y, on the north
and to New London, Conn, on the east
as metropolitan police district.
Methods of insuring quick communica-
ton between the police of all the cities
and towns in the district and facili-
tating their cooperation will be dis
| cussed.
Arrangements are to be made with
the telephone company, it was said,
which would enable the police of any
city or town to notify those of every
other city and town in the district as
soon as crime was committed. This
would mean, it was pointed out, that
within few minutes after an automo-
bile had been stolen at Center and
Grand streets, for instance, every
policeman within 100 miles would be
on the watch for such car.
When he has this scheme working so
we'll that no one dares to steal an au-
tomobile or anything else within 100
miles Of New York Police Commissioner
Richard E. Enright intends to widen
the scope of the project and admit the
DeDQ rtr1a 0f Ty1c Wo h rrt
the Secret Service and the police of all
the big cities in the country, in order
to make crime impossible anywhere in
the United States.
In fact, he already has drafted a set
of plans for a national police bureau
which will cover the entire country,
utilizing both wireless and ordinary
telephone and telegraph systems. He
intends to put the management of this
bureau under Congressional control.
Almost all of the mayors, police
chiefs and police commissioners within
100mile radius of New York have ac-
cepted Police Commissioner Richard E.
Enright's invitation to lunch. Many
of them are familiar with the plan, hav-
ing discussed it with its author MANY
times in the last few months.
A permanent organization probably
will be formed and committees appoint
ed to investigate the various sugges-
tions and report upon them. The lunch
will follow the graduation exercises of
the 600 senior pupils in the police train
ing school, The exercises will be held
in City Hall Park at II a. m.
Police Commissioner Richard Z. En-
right has invited the Police Commits
sioner of Shanghai, China; the Super
intendent of Police of Chicago, and
forty mayors to attend the exercises.

Mutiny, Murder,
Hanginggs, Fights
Fill Log of Ship
Captain Tells of Wild Voyage
and How American Was
Slain by Alien Grew, When
Polar Star Docks Here

A tale Of the sea filled with action
and chronicling murder, fights with
knives and the hanging Of two assas-
sins was related yesterday by Captain
George Lunde, master of the steam
ship Polar Star, which docked in
Brooklyn on Saturday.
Customs officials searched the yes
sci yesterday for articles not recorded
on the ships manifest and found in
this category one German motor
launch, furs, raw pelts, some cocaine
and some liquor.
The skipper said that all these
things were on his manifest which
had been sent to the Custom House,
but that the Spanish steward who was
intrusted with the mission failed to
deliver it.
The Polar Star left New York six
months ago, calling at Norfolk, the
Virgin Islands, Buenos Ayres and
Hamburg.
1t was motley crew, the skipper
said, only two of them being Americans.
Charges of cruelty were brought
He was charged with having compelled
man with broken arm to stoke the
fires, but the charges were dismissed.
In the harbor of St. Thomas, he said,
the aliens Of the crew got drunk on
bay rum and attacked the chief officer,
who scattered them with the contents
of two pistols. William Doherty, of
Philadelphia, and his mate, William
Donohue, the only Americans in the
crew, were aroused from sleep by the
fighting. They called upon the for
eigners, to retire, and for their pains
were themselves attacked. Doherty's
heart was pierced by the knife Of Jesus
Gonzales, and Jose Fonsca, pursuing
Donohuc up q bridge ladder, knitted him
seven times, the last thrust blnindg
the Americans left eye. Doherty is
buried in st. Thomas and Donohue is
convalescing there in hospital
Fonseca and Gonzales, the Spanish
assassins, got ashore and fled to the
hills of the Virgin Islands. BY the aid
of searchlights from ships in port a
band of United States marines found
them, and they were tried by court
martial. Both were condemned to
death, and were hanged after the civil
court had approved the action of the
military authorities.

Hettrick Trial
Justice McAvoy Overrules
Former Jeopardy Plea of
Union Officials and Group
of aster Plumbers
Accused Under Trust Law
J. l.. knight Vainly Seeks
Immunity for Testifying
at the Lockwood Inquiry

John T. Hettrick and the three men
convicted with him for conspiracy and
coercion in connection with the opera
tion Of the formers "code Of practice"
scheme Of bidding, were taken from
the Tombs yesterday and placed on
trial again with members Of the Master
Plumbers Association for alleged viola
tion of the Donnelly antitrust law.
This case originally involved fifty
whom have pleaded guilty to sub
scribing to combination in restraint
of trade, as charged in the Indictment.
The case of one, J. S. Rittenhouse, was
declared nolle pressed. Five Of the de-
PENDANTS, William Y. Yack, Osaac Pol
lack. George Connolly and the /. J.
Barth Plumbing and Heating Company,
asked for and will be given separate
trial, as will also Herbert Smith. the
master plumber previously convicted
with Hettrick.
Those placed on trial yesterday were
Charles A. Murphy, the Wells g. New
ton Co., Frank j. Fee, John L. Knight,
Michael j. Canavan, David Diegan and
Canavan & Canavan, Inc. In addition
there were Hettrick, and William H.
Chapman and William j. Doran, the
two delegates Of the journeymen
plumbers union, previously convicted
with the creator Of the "code of prac-
ttice:" Hettrjck Doran, Chapman and
Smith had been given indeterminate
sentences in the ponitentiary and are
being confined in the Tombs pending
their appeal for rev trial.
When they were led into Justice
McAvoy's courtroom, where the trial
Is taking place, their counsel immedi-
atcly entered plea Of "former
jeopardy" claiming that the men had
already been tried for the same Of
fcnse.. 1t was argued by the prosecu-
tion, however, that this was another
indictment, and the court ruled that the
Indictment would hold unless the evil
dence showed that the crimes with
which they are charged are the same
as those Of which they stood con-
victed.
Habeas Corpus Writ Denied
In the case Of Knight, Charles Hyde,
his attornty, had obtained a writ of
habeas corpus, arguing that Knight
was immune because he had testified
before the Lockwood committee on
his contention, however, and, dismiss
ing the writ, paroled knight in the
custody of his lawyer.
All those who have pleaded guilty
have been released on bail pending
the outcome of the trial of their as
sociates. Two other indictments are
hanging over Hettricks head, one in
volving the Bronx group of master
plumbers, and the other in connection
with the charges against the New York
Cut Stone Contractors Association.
The present offcnses carry maximum
fine of $4,000 for guilty corporations,
and an indeterminate sentence end
$40 900 fine for convicted individuals.
The proceedings only got as far as
the selection of tentative jury yes
terday. The final choice of panel
will be completed, it is believed, to-
day

troller Craig still sat silent. At last
he got up and unburdened himself.
In response to tho Comptroller's
questions: Mr.. Whitney admitted that
the transit commission which the Gov
ernor purposed to establish would have
absolute coercive powers over the city
authorities, but no coercive powers at
all over the transit companies.
He admitted also that the Governors
plan guaranteed dividends to transit
companies on invested capital after
tvx1 years and that any of the 700 COM
paiHies holding franchises from the city
could hold up the plan for unified
traction system indefinitely by refusing
to join In it.
In this connection Craig pointed out
that tho Interborough Rapid Transit
Company had exacted fixed charge of
more than $6,000,000 year, to run for
forty-nine years, as the price of per-
mittihg the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company to invade it's monopoly in
Manhattan.
The Comptroller said that he hadn't
intended to make any address when he
entered the meeting, but he felt COM
pelled to say few words. He traced
the history Of the city's transportation
from 1900 to 1921 and described the
purposes and provisions Of the two
bills which he sent to Albany. which,
he said, would give the city transit
commissioner coercive powers over the
companies through his right of con-
demnatiOn.

Sheriff Threatens
The Irving Bank
On $l77 Judgment
May Station Keeper in the
Institution If 1t Does Not
Pay After Losing Its Fight
{. in the Appellate Term

Sheriff Knott notified the Irving Ma
tional Bank yesterday that unless a
judgment and execution in favor of
Harry Wasserman for s177 is paid. it
might be necessary to put keeper in
the bank which is one of the largest
institutions of its kind in the city,
until the claim is satisfied.
The judgment obtained by Mr.. Was
serman in the Municipal Court, I'd Dis
trict, and unanimously affirmed by the
Appellate Term of the Supreme Court,
grew out of a small transaction in
Polish marks. The plaintiff said he
gave the bank 1882 in 1919 for the pur-
pose of paying some one in Poland
1000 marks. According to Mr.. Was
serman, the bank promised to deliver
the marks in two or three weeks or
return the full amount of money turned
over by the plaintiff for transmission.
The bank, 1T was alleged, was unable
to deliver the marks in Poland, and
when Mr.. Wasserman asked for his
money back the bank offered to return
to him 1000 Polish marks, which in
the mean time had deprecated until the
value of that number of marks was
only about SO. Mr.. Wasserman refused
to accept the marks and brought suit
and obtained judgment. The bank ap-
pealed without success. The judgment
remained upaid and about four weeks
ago Louis Richman, counsel for Mr.
Wasserman, issued an execution against
the bank, upon which Sheriff Knott
levied.
The Irving National Bank then filed
motion with the Appellate Term of
appeal to the Appellate Division. This
motion was denied yesterday, and
Sheriff Knott told the bank that the
judgment, which, with costs, now
amounts to SLIT, would have to be
paid. Mr.. Richman, the plaintiffs s at
torney, announced that he would bring
supplementary proceedings to aScer-
tain just what part of the banks fur
niture he can take to satisfy the claim.

Tannaany Bill

For Fat Jobs
Continued from psse ene)

ostensibly on behalf Of the uniformed
members of the Police. Fire and Street
Cleaning departments, is part Of the
propaganda which the sponsors of the
Burchill bill are putting out.
Representatives Of tho Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association and the Uni
formed Firemen's Association-which
does not include in their membership
any of the officers Of these depart
ments-have repudiated this petition.
Thomas ]. O'Reilly, who Is here to-
night representing both organizations,
declared that the firemen and patrol
ment would play their own hand and
would not be a party to any scheme
such as is contemplated in the Burch-
i'll bill.
"Let the political job holders and
the high ranking officials in the Police
and Fire departments introduce q bill
limiting its provisions to themselves
and to their jobs, and the patrolm en-
and tiremen will have no objection to
the legislation" said Mr.. O'Reilly. 1--WE
will not, however, be party to any
purely political movement. And if the
Burchill bill is an attempt by Mayor
Hylan and his administration to win
back the patrolmen and the uniformed
fremen, he is mistaken. Last year he
promised these men an increase of
S220. He even put it in the budget.
But he then double-crossed the men by
refusing to make good. Before Mayor
Hylan can expect to win back the sup
port of the patrolmen and fremen he
must first make good on broken prom
ises."
Mr.. O'Reilly declared that the petit
tions of the Burchill bill propagandists
now being circulated among members
OF the uniformed ranks of the Police
and Fire departments would not receive
many signatuxes. He said that before
the plot of the propagandists had been
discovered, hundreds of signatures had
been obtained. Men signed, he said,
believing that the scheme was author
lied by the patrolmen's and the fire.

Fined SIS for Peddling
His Millions of Rubles
Youth Disposes of Them at So
Per Thousand; Enormous
Roll Refused in Court

George Shwide, eighteen years old,
of $40 Bathgate Avenue, the Bronx,
peddled Russian rubles up and down
Delaney Street at So a thousand for
more than an hour last night before he
was arrested by Patrolman Weiss, of
the Delaney Street station, for peddling
without a license.
Shwide told Magistrate Thomas f.
Nolan in the Mers Night Court later
that he had couple of million rubles
and didn't know how to get any real
money out of them except to peddle
them to people who still believed thew
were currency, and he thought So a
thousand was cheap enough in view of
the changing Russian situation.
Magistrate Nolan fined Shwide SIS
and was suddenly confronted with an
enormous roll of rubles which Shwide
said contained 116 5OO-ruble notes.
When the rubles were refused at any
valuation Shwide produced much
smaller roll Of American bills and paid
his fine
