OUT JOBS FOR AL
Boss Greets Place Hunters at
Tammany, but Says He
Hasn't Seen Smith.
CITY PLUMS AVAILABLE
Vacancies in Law Department
Made by Election Yet to
Be Filled.

Charles F. Murphy had few words OF
cheer for "the boys" yesterday when
he returned to his desk in Tammany
Hall following his two weeks vacation
at French Lick Springs.
Those who are hoping to become SER
airy l supposed the Boss would bring
home the Jobs after his conference with
Mayor Eylan ard other State politi-
clans.
But to all aspirants he had only the
negative answer yesterday. He told
them that he had not seen Governor
elect Smith and knew no more about
AIS slate than when he left for the
Indiana resort two weeks ago.
AS for the city patronage available
as a result of the election. Mr.. Murphy
told the candidates nothing had been
decided as far as he knew and that ne
had not discussed the slate when he
was away. The chief was quite willing
to chat about his golf records and re-
lated how he had beaten Big Tom
Foley and Surrogate-elect O'Brien. That
and promises were all he had to offer
George p. Nicholson, first assistant
Corporation Counsel is a candidate for
head of that office and is said to have
strong backing Several others in the
office are candidates. The salary is
s15. 900. Mr.. Nicholson has been in the
department since May 1. 1906. and his
salary as first assistant Is $4,000 He
has been in charge Of much Of the city's
most important litigation in recent
years. The next most important vacancy
is that OF the assistant in charge of
Brooklyn. with a $4,000 salary. to sue
ceed William B. Carswell. elected to
the Supreme Court bench.
When the Governor-elect returns In n
few days the Tammany leader is ex-
pected to get down to discussing posi-
tions and candidates. Murphy Is known
to have stated that he was not going
to "crowd AL" for Jobs. intending to
leave Mr.. Smith free to make good
without being handicapped by organiza-
ton control. That will not mean, how
ever THAI the Tammany leader win not
submit names. Even If he does not make
demands for any set of offices. 1t is
assumed that Mr.. Murphy will make Il
few recommendations.

as Last Resort in New
Stringency.

Tie board met in Mayor Hylan's pri-
vate office and no outsiders were ad-
mitted. 1t was learned, however, that
Mr.. Craig's announcement was greeted
with violent protests to the effect tnat
not one more cent could be squeezed out
Of any of the city departments THIS year
without bankrupting them.
The only ether alternative Will be
for Comptroller Craig to authorize short
term loans to carry the Board Of Edu-
cation over i.lto 1923. This power Is
granted by recent legislation. but to be
used only as las, ~esort. 1t is under

yesterday suppressed the affidavit which
w. z. D. Stokes filed last week with his

consent in connection with the dover
suit. which was decided against him
by Justice Cohalan last summer.
Isidor Gainsburg of 291 Broadway,
the attorney of record in this action.

was not with Mr.. Stokes In submitting
the papers which Justice Marsh sup
pressed
"Scandalous matter of the character
contained in the affidavit objected to
has no place In the files of the court" !"
Justice Marsh wrote. THE motion was
made by the defendant (Mr. Stokes)
for the ostensible purpose of securing
the release of certain real estate from
the plaintiffs (Mrs. Helen Elwood
Stokes) dover rights. He has seen fiji
to introduce scandalous charges of
most serious nature, which have moth
ing to do with the subject matter of
the motion. but tend seriously to in

the litigation, as well as n number of
others who are in no way connected

DENY REHEARINC IN
STATE LAND LEASE
CASE Of YEAR AGO

The state land department. at its
meeting yesterday, had under consld-
GRAFTON applications of Reid -CaShion
Land & Cattle company, and Garrett
Sheep company for rehearing and re-
consideration OF the action of the de-
partment taken nearly a year ago,
through which lease of several sec
tions OF land was awarded to Earl
Albright.
The history of the matter was that
the land department, after hearing
all the facts as to the equities and
prior rights of the parties above
mentioned, and after full consider
alton Of arguments and briefs sub
mitted to it by the attorneys for the
respective applicants for leases of the
land involved, did award the leases
to Earl Albright. Not satisfied with
that ruling, the two companies uD-
dertook to appeal to the superior
court of Coconino county, and in con-
nection with that appeal the action
of the land department was held in
allegiance, and no lease was actually
issued. Two superior courts OF the
state having decided to the effect
that the action Of the department in
passing upon leases was an admin
istrative duty not subject to review
by the courts, except in cases where
the department actually exceeded it's
jurisdiction, the appeals taken in
these cases were permitted to go by
default, and the appeals were dis
missed by the Coconino court. After
such decision against them, and with
out any appeal from that decision to
the supreme court, the Reid Cashion
Land & Cattle company, and Gar
rett Sheep company came back to
the department and asked for the re-
hearing, which was denied yesterday
by unanimous action of the board
The decision in the above matter
is in line with the policy of the de-
partment to attempt a fair and equal
distribution of leased lands among
different persons who apply for lease
OF same, and to maintain the orderly
administration Of state lands without
the delays incident to litigation.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-What's the
foundation stone of success?
"Babies!" answers Bernie Bah
cock. She has five Of them.
They're responsible, she says, for
her arrival as a novelist. You
know, she's author of The Soul of
Ann Rutledge," "The Coming of the
King" and other famous fiction
works.
And she thought out the plots Of
most of her novels with both hands
in the dishpan or while walking the
floor with a sleepless infant!
At 20 Mrs. Babcock was left a
widow with five children-one of
them only a year old.
The first year of her widowhood
all the children fell Ill and Mrs. Bab-
cock was victim of an accident that
forced her to stay in bed.
She took up writing. For seven
months everything came back. Then
her stories began to tell.
Recovering, she cooked, ironed,
sewed and kept house-but still found
time to write.
Later she secured an editorial po-
sition on a daily paper and still later
founded a magazine.
Today her children are grown. Her
two sons have college educaions-all
as result Of the mothers writing.

1928 QUARTS OF
BOOTLEG LIQUOR
SEIZED PAST YEAR

The year 1921 was a hard one on
the bootlegger and the maker OF IL
licit whiskey according to figures
compiled by deputies from the rec
ords in the sheriffs office. During
the year, the records show, there
were 176 arrests made by the sher-
ifs office for transporting of manu-
featuring Intoxicating liquor and
more than 200 distilling outfits were
seized and confiscated. The records
show that 1929 quarts or contra
band and Illicit liquor Of all kinds
were taken by the officers during the
year.
Most of the arrests were made for
manufacturing liquor and in each
case a stiu or some part of a still
was taken. In many cases the still
was found but no one present and
it was taken and confiscated. Most
Of the stills taken were made from
milk cans but a few were high grade
copper stills. The smallest still found
during the year was still made
from a thermos bottle and the largest
was q so gallon copper still capable
Of running 20 gallons a day.
Most of the liquor seized during
the year was very poor grade moon
shine" or white mule whiskey,
SlrOnE WIFI dlCOllOlt LuSIl ga anu
galvanized iron poison. The liquor
in cars of booze runners arrested
consisted mostly OF tequila and some
mescal. A few raids netted some
high grade bonded whisky but the
amount was in the minority. During
the year. by order of Judge Stanford,
most of the liquor. with the exception
of the liquor held as evidence in
cases pending IN court. was destroyed
at stated periods by the sheriff and
I1is deputies.
From the start made already by
the officers, the year 1922 bids fair
to exceed by far the seizures OF hq-
uor made in 1921.
