Harriss Thinks AutOcratic
Ring Is Rcaping Harvest
From Tips.

Dr. John 4. Harriss. Special Deputy
Police Commissioner in charge OF traf-
fic. has begun ar investigation into the
activities Of a small group of men who
have developed a lucrative business py
watching automobiles parked in dlfferent
PARTS OF the city. principally in the
lower section of Manhattan. The Traf-
fic Division has received complaints
from business men to the effect tha'
these concessionaires, whose busiress
has no overhead, have become so auto
cratic that it is virtually impossible to
find parking space after the early hours
of the morning.
Inspector William F. Davis OF the
Ira fife Division and Capt. William Van
keurer. Of Traffic Division A, in whose
district most of the concessionaires are
operating. have been looking into the
practice and have come TO the con-
cirs ion that the city would be doing the
wounded ex-service mar a great good
by taking over and regulating this busi-
ness for their benefit. inspector Davis
has taken the matter up with Police
Commissioner Enright. II Is thought
that the Board of Aldermen would have
to pass ar ordinance before the city
could act.
DIR. Harriss said yesterday that he is
going to make an investigation and that
il he finds it possible In any way to
aid the wounded soldiers he will do so
There are in the neighborhood of twer-
ty-five spots in Manhattan alone which
could be let out TO the exservice men
for this purpose. At present four OF
these probably the most important ones
in the borough, are being worked by
five men, two of whom are brothers
who found their business so lucrative
that they abandoned a trucking enter
prise.

Dier, examined before Seaman Mil
Ter, referee, in TIE latter's office,

Senator Lockwood nor Senator Lusk
had been paid "a single cent" for their
efforts. but had acted merely as
friends of mine'' in the matter. 1t was
also stated that both of the Senators
may be called to testify in the case at
later hearing.
Many new points in the failure were
revealed during Diers three hour ex-
animation. which was conducted by Ar
thur G. Hays and Saul S. Myers, attor-
neys for the receiver. Manfred w. En-
rich. 1t was also disclosed that DR..
Dier had lent considerable amounts OF

as evidence by Mr.. Myers, and der said
that those notes were never paid, that
the Stock Exchange firm had accepted

pany in lieu OF the payment. He would
not admit that Carpenter, Caffry Co.
were "out 100000" but said that the
notes were secured by the mining notes

new system OF bookkeeping, according
to Dier, who denied that they had sug-
gested an amalgamation of number OF

Most Prominent Is
Henry Sulliuan of
Loueu.
BY WALTER CAMP.

copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
There are today, according to
latest reports, in the neighborhood
of 80 swimmers practicing at Do
yer with the idea of making the at
tempt to swim the English chan
mel. OF this number, several of
whom already have made one fail
ure, it is safe to say that not more
than a scant half dozen have any
possible chance of making the
journey.
One of these men who can be
counted in the half dozen is Henry
Sullivan of Lowell, Mass. This
courageous and powerful swimmer
his tried six times to conquer the
channel and he has not succeeded
yet William Burgess. however, one
of the only two men who have sue
ceeded in the effort. failed many
more than six times before he fl
nally achieved this triumph of
aquatic feats in 1911. Captain Matt
Webb is the only other man who
has ever crossed the channel I'M
der one-man power. He did it in
1875.
Sullivan's first attempt was made
in 1913, when he got within five
miles of the French coast. The
outbreak of the war in 1914 pre-
vented his projected attempt that
year. In 1920 he made two at
tempts and once got within three
miles of Cape Grinez, France, when
the terrible, shifting tides compell-
ed him to give up. The other time
he was within a mile and half of
France when illness stopped him.
OF all the swimmers who are at
Dover today, Sullivan appears to
be the one who will first eventually
swim this turbulent stretch of
water.
Not many people of today under
stand the conditions that encircle
and render so f.1fcult the swim
ming of the English channel. The
tremendous difficulties to be sur
mounted are the chilling effects of
the water, choppy seas and shift
ing tides which at certain times
are uncomfortable by the strong
est swimmer. Moreover, the water
is quite alkaline and therefore ir-
rltatlng to the face and eyes.
