Policeman Arrested on
Whisky Bribe Charge
Owner Of Liquor Asserts the
Officer Extorted $IOO and
Thirty-six pinfs

Patrolman Daniel E. Tierney, OF the
West Thirtieth Street police station,
was suspended and placed under arrest
there last night on charges of extor-
tion and bribery. Charles Ostrowsky,
of 1025 Quitman Street. Newark, picked
him out of line of policemen as the
uniformed man who had accepted S100
and thirty-six pints of whisky to let
him drive a trnckload of whisky out
of stable. 0strowsky went to lnspec-
tor Thomas v. Underhill with his COM
plant yesterday. His whisky, he said,
loaded for transportation, was in Q
stable ON West Seventeenth Street, and
he was about to depart with it when a
patroltnan in uniform entered.
Ostrowsky said that after some
dickering with the patrolman the lat
ter consented to let him set out with
his whisky cargo at the price of $500
in cash and thirty-six pints of whisky,
which Ostrowsky valued at S120.
Ostrowsky said he had noticed the
patrolmarl's shield number and gave 1t
to the inspector. He had friend with
him who corroborated his story.
In accordance with instructions given
them by Inspector Underhill, the two
were at the West Thirtieth Street
police station last night. Several
policemen, among them Tierney, were
lined up and Ostrowsky was told to
pick his man. He selected Tierney
without hesitation. Tierney denied the
charge.
Tierney was arraigned in night court
and released in $500 bail, which was
furnished by surety company.

Wall Street Office
Is Dry Raid Scene;

Agents With Borrowed Bonds
Pose as Customers to Get
I'm: Liquor Delivery Is
Seized at the Doorway

Agents OF Chief John d. Appleby's
staff continued liquor raids along
crowded Broadway yesterday and as a
distinct novelty turned their attention
later in the day to the financial dis
trict, around Broad and Wall streets.
One alleged "speak easy" doing busi-
ness under brokerage office sign, was
the scene of visit with comedy fea-
lures.
The agents before entering armed
themselves with bundles of stock cer-
tificates borrowed from a nearby bank.
Displaying these prominently, Agents
Sassi, Potter and Rosen say they easily
passed as brokers and were admitted
into the fold of alleged customers in
the offices of Frederick Schumaches,
25 and 81 Thames Street.
Schumacher, who says he operates
on the Curb market, has second floor
offices overlooking the street. The
agents took charge Of the Offices and
had just made their identity known
when truck drove up in front Of the
place and man called up that ne had
something for Fred.
Agent Sassi answered out of the
window and said
Bring it on up"
els that you, Fred?" called the voice
from below.
"That's me all right" answered
Sass.
"Well, pay me and I'll bring it up
called the voice from below.
"Go on down and pay the man." Sass!
ordered Schumacher.
Schumacher did as ordered and lee
the way up stairs as two men fron,
the truck toted five-gallon carboy
of whisky to the brokerage office. Their
the agents detained all three men un.
der charges and seized the truck, the
alleged liquor and some bottles founc
about the brokerage rooms.
Schumacher, who it appears has q
sense of humor, laughed heartily al
the truckmen for falling into the pro.

An autopsy showed that the bullet
which killed him entered between the
second and third ribs, pierced the

the eighth rib and the spinal cord and

The reference in one of the notes

Cline's family. It was said that Bergen
might have confused the name "Watz"
with walsh the name of sister of

telegraphed 80 him last night, assur-

COUNCIL MOVE MAY
MEAN RETRENCAMENT
Reductions Looked for In Over
manned City Departments.
With Pay Cuts.

Whit IL believed to be the first
step n q movement to bring about
rcduf tion of salaries for city employees
md possibly the elimination or the
names OF several such employees from
the municipal payroll In an effort TO
conserve the financial resources or
Wilmington and to put its business
affairs on n more business like ana
economic basis was taken last night
during the meeting OF City Council
when James II. McManus. chairman
VI the finance committee, moved that
Homer c. simmons, the clerk. be di-
rcctcd TO write to the directors OF the
Department of Public Safety and re-
cues; them 10 submit TO the Council
the FIRE marshals report TO date.
This motion prevailed without a dis
senting vote and without comment
either from Mr.. McManus or any of
tn. other members. After the meet
ing. when Mr.. McManus was asked
about the meaning of this move he
would have no comment TO make on
tho subject. nor could he DO induced to
offer any explanation as 10 what the
Council wants with report from the
fre marshal. II was explained that
the purposes OF the motion would be
evident later on.
From reliable sources. however, II
was developed that the Council wants
the report to see just what work the
fire marshal's office ia doing and has
done since the position was created
with the establishment Of the new
paid fire department. Councilmer
make no secret OF the fact. at least
some Of them, that they believe the

pther city departments. is overmannet
and that the city could effect a very
material saving in cash each year &

now on the city pay roll drawinl

problem they are going 10 be con

things to be done. increase the ia,
rate or cut down departmental ap
propriations. and an increase in tn
tax rate is one thing the Council i

that all departments retrench and on
Of the first moves in this directio,
may have TO be the elimination o
