SPEAKER TELLS MERIT
OF CIVIL SERVICE ACT
Bradbury Informs Lawyers 1t
Is Best State Has Had.

Speaking under the auspices of the
New York County Lawyers Association
in the Hotel Astor last night Harry B.
Bradbury, discussing the civil practice
act, said that "it constitutes the best
system OF procedure we have ever had
in this State.i'
ut is not so bad as its enemies pre-
dicted It would be- he said. Posi-
bly, 1t is not as good as its advocates
hoped it might be. But years expert
ence under the act affords additional evil
dence of the conclusion that there is no
such thing as a practice act which is
foolproof. Many technicalities and
sources OF delay have been eliminated
and others are being brought into such
strong light that doubtless they will re-
ceive Legislative attention in the near
future"
Mr. Bradbury told how many DELAYS
have been eliminated where a defense
is put In merely for the purpose of de-
lay. He described one such case where.
In an action on n policy Of theft in
surance the holder of the policy sued to
recover $3.50 for the loss Of n set of
false teeth while he was travelling in
Europe. Against the defense of the in
surance company that the false teeth
were personal property" within the
meaning or the policy the court ruled
that the teeth might be classed as "toi-
iet @ articles scientific apparatus" or
"jewelry."

had received jobs without examination
or Endorsement. This method has led
to some of the trouble that confronts
officials now in attempts to clear up
graft" cases.
In the majority of instances, officials
believe it will be difficult to prove
bribery. This is due to the cleverness
of agents in refusing to reduce such
transactions to writing. The practice
now generally followed in batting dry
law officers is to pay them In gold or
gold notes.
Officials believe that hundreds of dry
officers have been unable to resist the
temptation of accepting bribes ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000, or even more,
when rendered to them in actual cash,
for protection or to drop charges against
liquor dealers already caught in raids.
In the prosecution of cases now being
investigated the Government Is dealing
largely with hearsay evidence, of the
testimony of witnesses whose vindictive-
ness may serve to offset the weight OF
charges against the accused in a court
of law.

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Nov. 81.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynets
began a series of conferences to-day
with Senator's and dry directors OF
some so-called wet States as the first
step in a general overhauling OF the
Federal enforcement machinery in
many sections OF the country. His
first conference was with Senator
Edge of New Jersey.
Decentralization OF Federal enforce
ments agents in many States as a
result of graft paid by bootlelggers,
rum runners and smugglers has
reached such a point that severe
action is deemed necessary.
Wet leaders in Congress, aware
OF the corruption among Federal pro-
hibition agents, are preparing to air
the whole situation at an early date and
to attack the estimates submitted by
the budget bureau for prohibition en-
forcement expenses during the next hs-
cal year. Eastern and Southern States
have been selected for immediate clean
ups. Many dismissals have already been
decided upon. designations of State
directors and their staffs will be forced.
Commissioner Haynes after his con-
ference with Senator Edge announced
that eight New Jersey agents had been
dropped. The resignation of Director
Charles l.. Smith of New Jersey is ex-
pected soon.
Mr.. Haynes said the dismissals were
due to reduction OF New Jerseys force
to a normal quota" IL became known
that the real reason was the decision
to overhaul the force OF dry agents In
offices which are under attack by dry
leaders for alleged laxity in admins
'tration.
So far as is known formal charges
Of graft have not been lodged against
directors in any of the States where
cleanups will be staged. The main Of
fense they are, alleged to have committed
is in faning more closely to supervise
tho work of their agents to prevent
bribery or other Irregularities.
An outcome of the program to over
turn many of the enforcement offices
and inject new blood probably will be
special Investigations by grand juries. A
AdT Be VI tNlutIicb dlEtduy Is
the possession of Federal District Attor-
neys. 1t may not be possible In all
cases where bribery is suspected TO
establish conviction in court. 1t is
probable that many cases may not
be brought to trial because proof Of the
guilt of the accused is lacking. The
Department of Justice is working upon
these cases at this time endeavoring to
clinch those which are in a doubtful
class.
Enforcement officials declared to-day
that politics had been in some degree
responsible for the packing" of en-
forcement offices with dry agents who
have fallen under suspicion. But politics
was not blamed entirely. The method
of selecting agents in some localities
without first having established the
qualifications of men seeking berths is
held also TO be partly responsible.
IL was shown that in some States
where difficulty was encountered in OBJ
tanning the services of thoroughly
trained men OF proved integrity agents

BY JURY OF 'WETS'
Rum Runner Who Worked on
Huge Scale Gets Two
Years at Atlanta.

Judge Knox Censures Men of
Responsibility Who En-
courage Bootlegging.

A jury all of tho members of which
favored the modification of the volstead
act, returned in a half hour in Brooklyn
yesterday with a verdict holding An
thony Cassese, tobacco merchant, of
Ozone Park. guilty OF bootlegging be-
tween the United States and the Bahama
Islands. Judge John c. Knox sentenced
him to two years at the Atlanta Peni-
tentiary and fine of $4,000.
1T is great temptation to men of
your mentality and caliber to engage in
a practice OF this kind" the Judge said.
"Of course there are men of higher sta
tion in life who consider their chief
appointment one with their bootlegger.
1t Is unfortunate that men or higher re-
spectability place temptation In the way
of men like you"
When Judge Knox remarked that men
like Cassese We're no doubt irnpelled to
engage In bootlegging because of the
great gains resulting. George Gordon
Battle, representing the defendant, in
terrupted to say that his clients finan-
cial standing had been greatly exag-
gerated. Judge Knox pointed out that
the 1000 bottles of rye whiskey seized
at Bayville, L. l.. by State troopers
lhSt Marcn would be worth $4,000 at
s. bottle. Assistant Federal Attorney
Blue said he had come upon two drafts,
one for $4,000, the other for $50, coo, both
payable to Cassese and both relating
to bootlegging. Judge Knox thanked
the jurors, saying any other verdict
would have been "a gross miscarriage
of Justice
Mrs. Rose Cassese, the prisoners s
wife, and three children We're in court
Mrs. Edith Stevens. the girl acquitted
of the charge of having been Casseses
accomplice, was also present.
Cassese was convicted of bringing
10000 bottles of rye whisky from the
Bahama Islands to Bayville, t. l., last
March aboard his yacht, the Edith.
named after Mrs. Stevens. Sergeant A.
F. Broadfield of the State police testi-
fled that Cassese offered him s. 900 on
the Bayville dock after the cargo had
been seized. Not for 5000 0o0' Broad
field said he replied.
Mr.. Battle declared in his summing
up that Cassese was charged with con-
spring to bring good rye whisky into
this country"

The Best
Combination

VETHATEVER property
w you have to leave to
your heirs, it is well to con-
slider three ways of having
it administered in the best
interests of those whom
you love-
By individual executor,
By this Trust Company,
BIZ a combination of both.
There are grave objections
to selecting an Individual
executor. The risks of
sickness or death are but
two of these.
The objection that the
Trust Company is a stran-
ger to your family, unac-
quainted with its affairs,
is trivial compared to the
advantages of its expert
ence, organization and
stability.
But, in many cases, heirs
can be served best by the
combination of an indi-
vidual in whom you have
confidence and this Trust
Company. This co-execu-
torship brings to your
Individual executor the
assistance of a Trust
Company with abundant
experience in settling es-
tates and brings to your
heirs the uninterrupted
services of a strong insti-
tuition, immune to the
hazards of life.

FOREST SERVICE IMPORTATION.

September 80 marks the closing
Washington and after that date per-
mits, either federal or state, for burn
ing brush and slash and the building
of camp fires will not be required
The Forest Service and the State
Forester earnestly requests that all
those having slash or brush to dispose
of do so before the material gets too
wet to burn. The fall is by far the best
season of the year in which to burn.
The reason is, the material is usually
we'll dried out, the nights are cool and
there is more or less dew, and We are
running into the closing of the season
instead of the opening of tne season
favorable to fires as in the case Of the
spring burning. The state law pro-
vides that each individual shall take
care of his slash for the purpose OF
reducing the fire menace to the stand
ing timber
On October II and ~, 1922, there
will be conference held in Seattle
called the Estate Forestry Confer
ence." One subject to be taken up at
this conference will be How to pre-
vent the heavy smoke screen which
hangs over our country during the
greater part of the summer season.
AS measure of preventing this and
because Of the fact that many of our
fires originate from brush and slash
burning the committee appointed to
report at this conference suggests that
sertain season be closed to any kind
of slash or brush burning or open fire
burning irrespective Of the season al
ready established by the state law. A
number of dates have been suggested
to this committee for the closing and
opening dates of this season which
range from June 10 to July for the
, beginning of the closed season and
August Is to September 20 as the clos
| ing dates.
! Any individual or community inter.
ested in this conference should make
| it point to be present or have some
one present who will represent their
wants and the conference will be glad
! to consider their proposition. Dean
Huho Winkenwerder, chairman of the
conference has requested that the peo-
pie of the state make their wants
