Tammany Hall
Bewildered Over
Refusal of Foley

New York, May 16.-Members of
Tammany Hall were still bewildered
today over the declination of Sur
rogate James A. Foley to accept the
leadership of the organization held
for many years by his step father
in-law, the late Charles +. Murphy.
Informal conferences were held
by group members of the executive
committee but it was understood no
decision as to a leader, had been
reached. The executive committee
will meet next Wednesday, to make
a final decision.
Meanwhile, Judge Foley was con-
fined to his bed with nervous
breakdown. His friends said he had
had little sleep for nearly two weeks
and that he had been under unrel-
enting pressure by powerful friends
urging him to take the post. The
advice of his wife and mother was
said to have been the deciding in
fluence against acceptance, as well
as a warning by his physicians that
he would be unable to stand the
strain.

those who urged him most strongly

Clothing Workers
Seek Formation. of
National Labor Party

Philadelphia, May 16.-Definite ac-
tion toward the formation of a national
labor party, including the appointment
of delegates instructed to throw the
entire weight of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America to any
existing organization which advances
a program giving promise of attaining
such an end, was taken by the clothing
body in annual convention here today.
President Sidney Hillman declared
that there will be no guarantee OF
world peace until the organized labor
movement of America follows the
British example and creates an inde-
pendent labor party capable OF winning
at the polls the right to represent
America in international relations"
Answering demand that the body
commit itself to the Farmer-Labor par
ty. the Socialist party or the Workers
party, President Hillman said that he
did not criticize the parties. but felt
that to commit the organization TO any
group that did not represent the entire
American labor movement would be q
mistake.
By vote of more than four to one
the convention instructed the executive
board to send official observers to the
Farmer-Labor convention in st. Paul
on June IT and to the conference on
Progressive political action in Cleve-
land on July 4, with authority to throw
the full strength of the organized
workers in the mems clothing industry
behind any program that gives prom
Use Of bringing an independent labor
party into existence.
The convention also instructed the
executive board to take steps to open
labor banks in Philadelphia, Rochester.
Baltimore and Boston, II found eco
nomically expedicnt, and to plan for
the establishment of an unemployment
insurance fund to cover the entire in
duStry.

prise far indeed during the year.
Homes come first in the making Of
a contented nation"
Mr.. 1hlder says Of the Better
Homes movement: "Home building
is mans essential activity, for the
home shelters the family, upon
which depends our present security
and order and our hopes for the
future. Even as a savage, man
began to turn his attention to home
building. His increasing success
is one Of the best measures Of his
advance in civilization. Home
building is both the justification
for and the beneficiary of his eff
forts, for it is through the home
that the present generation passes
on its inheritance to posterity; IL
is through the home that the pres
ent generation adds most Of It's
quota to what it has received from
past generations. It is fitting then
that home building should be. in an
economic sense, the basic industry
that building, equipping. furnish-
ing our homes should be foundation,
stones Of our material prosperity
Consequently it is not only q duty
but also the part Of worldly wis
dom for rs to.set high our stand

Bishop McDevitt reviewed the
achievement of the late Bishop and
extolled his character both as citizen
and churchman, saying in part:
Zeal for the progress of religion
dominated him.. Love of church and
love of country possessed his soul.
Courageous. dauntless. sangue, with
a keen sense of justice and deep APP
probation of his responsibilities, he
met boldly and confidently the prob
lens and conditions which appeared.
Guided by the light of Interchangeable
principles and supported by the
strong authority of Holy Church. he
discharged his Episcopal duties as
conscience dictated and left the con-
sequences to God"
Burial was with impressive cere-
mony in a crypt beneath the sane
tuary. spot where Bishop Walsh
had expressed wish that his body

My opponent now says that '.it is
true that nuns teach in their sister
hood garb and that before and after
the schools there is instruction in the
catechism, but the schools are act
ually and truly public schools" If
this is my opponents idea of a pub
lie school. must emphatically take
issue. The fact that this system is
entirely legal and proper under our
existing law seems to me sufficient
reason for changing our law.
do not believe it is wise that a
public school should be taught by
a Roman Catholic sister in the reli-
gious garb of her order. and I say
this without and disparagement of
the character or the patriotism or
the teaching ability of any of the
members of this order. The fact
that my opponent will justify such
system and call it a public school
system seems to me evidence of the
extent to which he has been blind
ed to the fundamental character of
the issues at stake.

CONVICT REMUs
Continued from Pace Qnel

At the last moment, when the Jail
doors were opening for him in the
spring of 1923, Remus testified, he
came to Washington and paid to
Smith $4,000 or $4,000, confident
that punishment could be evaded.
''He (Smith) said that General
the Attorney General-said that there
would be no putting away of Remus
anG his men," Remus declared when
pressed for the details of his under
standing. Although now in the peni-
Tertiary, he declared he would not
say he was double crossed" because
Jess Smith, dead by his own hand
could not talk"
In reply to questions from Senator
Wheeler, the committee prosecutor.
Remus occasionally hesitantly laid
before the committee the story of
his sudden rise to wealth and almost
as sudden fall to the status of n
convict. An inconspicuous criminal
lawyer in Chicago in 1919, by 1922 he
had become sole owned of nine. dis
tilleres in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indi-
ana and part owner of more, and the
operation Of string Of wholesale
and retail drug. companies from New
York to Missouri.
That h bought up government Of
ficials almost as eXpeditiously as he
acquired his properties was an i'm
plication to which he chung unshak-
en- throughout his examination. He
told the committee that his selling
whiskey as medicine was a mere
pretext and that in reality he was
the source Of supply for bootleggers
in q half dozen central states, the
financial man" of an organization
he referred to as "Remus and his
men,"
His "chief counsel" introduced him
to Jess Smith in New York in 1921,
Remus said. Smith knowing the
witness as "a reasonably large OPP
orator in whiskey" and Remus know
ing Smith as "a man very close to
the attorney general" When the
third party had retired gracefully
Remus testified that he laid found
alton for good relationship with
Smith by passing over $4,000 in
$1,000 bills. Then began a series OF
meetings, he added. which continued
until the shadow of the penitentiary
was falling over him, although Smith
was promising even then that the
General" the term applied to Fl. NJ
Daugherty, was going to use his in
fluence to obtain executive clemency
for Remus.
There was "a gentleman's agree
ment" pursuant to which, Remus
said, he paid Smith large sums at
intervals while "whiskey was COM
ing through" on the government per-
mits that enabled the bootleggers'
chief to withdraw stocks from his
distilleries and turn them into the
distributing chain of the drug houses.
