DAILY Will Enter Race For Delegate
Charge Graft In High
Political Circles of ~. j.

NEW YORK. March 25.-Graft,
corruption and lawlessness in high
political circles in New Jersey will
be revealed in the trial of J. Harry
Foley. once secretary of former Gov
ernor Edwards. for bribery of pro-
hibition agents. Assistant United
States Attorney Maxwell s. Mat
tuck told the jury in federal court
toudy.
Although predicting sensational
testimony, Mr.. Mattuck asked the
jury to disregard all except evidence
directly affecting the bribery charge.
Foley was placed on trial before
Judge Mack with Major Herbert 1.
Katz, of Paterson, N. j., and the
Paterson Brewing and Mailing Com
pany.
Before the trial started motions to
dismiss the indictment on technical
grounds were denied by the court.
Mr.. Mattuck said the bribery
charge would be proved by William
e. Dunnigan and Saul Grill, special
federal agents from Washington.
Dunnigan was the first witness call
ed.
Dunnigan said he and Grill met
Foley in June 1923 at the Hotel
Astor and talked over the New Jer-
sey situation with him. Foley said
he would find out what the boys
would do" after returning to Jersey.
Dunnigan testified. Foley told them
to communicate with him at Senator
Edwards Office and that 1t would be
all right to talk with the senator,
he said.

Sumed on Thursday
SOURCE IS UNDIScUSSED

WASHINGTON. March 25.-More
information about the financial af-
fairs of Albert B. Fall was sought
today by the oil committee, after
hearing some testi- .ony the investi-
cation was deferred until Thursday.
M. D. Thatcher. president of the
First National bank of Pueblo, Colo,
was questioned about Falls bank
account and afterward Senator
Walsh, the committee prosecutor,
announced that the check-up show
ed that the former interior secre-
tary had acquired $4,000 for the
purchase of ranch property from a
source yet undisclosed. 1t previ-
ously had been indicated, the sena-
tor said, that the funds might have
come from the Thatcher interests
From Anderson T. Tackett, an ac-
countant, the committee received
further details regarding the dummy
stock accounts of Jess w. Smith,
the close friend of Attorney Cen
eraI Daugherty. The witness said
he had been told that one OF these
accounts was carried jointly by
Smith and the attorney general.
While the committee was in ses-
sion, senate officials formally turned
over to the district attorney the case
of Harry F. Sinclair, cited for con-
tempt because of his refusal to tes-
tify. TIA 81 =
Another banker--Lewis W. Bald
win, president of the Empire Trust
Company of New York-was under
subpoena in connection with the
Republican deficit, having been
summoned yesterday after the COM
mittee had received conflicting
statements relative to the story in
the New York Times saying 1t was
understood that Will H. Hays, for
mer chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, would testify that
Sinclair securities had figured in
the financing.
Hays later testified he had asked
Harry F. Sinclair to contribute to
a fund then being raised for retire
ment of note held Icy the Empire
Trust Company and, as he recollect-
ed the incident, the oil magnate,
had agreed to give $4,000. The
committee decided to call the bank
er to ascertain the nature of col
lateral used to secure the note. The
committee also plans to question
Fred W. Upham, Republican ma
tional treasurer, in connection with
the deficit.

Hansen and Marmon Are Ar
raigned on New Indictments
Found by Grand Jury
FIX BAIL AT $3.50 EACH
New True Bills About Same
as Original Ones
Order Signed

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 25.-
Louis Hansen and Lawrence Mar
mon, Perth Amboy policemen, plead
ed not guilty in the county court
this morning to the new indictments
returned by the grand jury last Fri
day. Bail was fixed at $3.50 for each
officer.
The new indictments returned
against the men are practically the
same as the original ones, the phras-
eoIogy being changed.
The suspended patrolmen are
charged with permitting William
Langfeld, Of South River, to go at
large on November 8, when they
knew he was violating the prohibi-
tion laws. and also that they took
$2S5 from him as a "shakedown.
Harry Margolius, of Oak street,
Perth Amboy, furnished the bail for
Hansen, and William kocek furn-
ished the bond for the second ac-
cused patrolman.
When Kocek and Marmon started
from the court room, the suspended
policeman put on his hat. Judge
Kirkpatrick sounded his gavel louo
and long, and Marmon was called
back. He was asked: Don't you
know you are in a court room! why
did you put on your hat?" The
officer asked that he be excused, say
ing that he did not mean to do IT.
In permitting him to go on his way
the court made it plain that ne
should see to it that the occurrence
did not happen again.
Supreme Court Justice samuel
Kalisch on Saturday signed a re-
straining order preventing the coun-
ty from proceeding with the trial OF
the nolicemen until the sup; me
court has considered the application
for a writ of certiorari. or until the
court issues a different order. For
mer Senator Thomas Brown repre-
sents the accused patrolmen.

SEE BATTLE Of
WOMAN s WITS
Woman Assistant Attorney
General VS.. Roxie Stinson
in Daugherty Case

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
delay in the Daugherty investiga-
ton has increased .ne likelihood OF
a matching of women's wits be-
tween Miss Roxie Stinsou, star wit
ness, and Mrs. Mabel Walker WILLIE
brandt, assistant attorney general.
Resumption of sne hearing was
postponed yesterday until tomorrow
when it became known that the cold
which has been troubling Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana. the
chief investigator, might keep him
in bed for several days and that
other members of the committee
had pressing work elsewhere.
Miss Stinson. who was the di-
vorced wife of Jess Smith. the at
torney generals close friend. was TO
have completed her testimony and
faced cross examination and Mrs.
Willebrandt was expected to con-
duct the questioning In behalf of the
attorney general If her official duties
before a grand jury did not prevent.
Whether the committee will make
further efforts to establish the
facts" surrounding Smiths death. a
year ago in the apartment he and
Daugherty shared in Washington.
had not been determined last night,
although Miss Stinson's statement
that she saw no powder stains about
the wound from which her former
husband died has led Chairman
Brookhart. an expert in the use of
firearms. to question whether such
a condition could exist in a case of
suicide. IT. L. Scaife. an attorney

scribed Smiths death TO him as a

Foley said Edwards was a regu-
lar fellow and we could leave mes
sages with him." Dunnigan declared.
Foley said, you have no idea the
stuff that goes over the private wire
of a senator or a governor" the wit
ness asserted. The agent said his
partner, Grill, told Foley he didn't
want to do business with many peo-
pie whereupon Foley replied, ac-
cording to Dunnigan:
~ see it from your point of view.
You will have to meet few people
outside of myself"
Dunigan said he next met Foley
with Grill at the Hotel Pennsylvania
on July last.
Foley came in and said he had
just run up against something good,
said DUNCAN. He said he had met
az man named Katz and Katz had
told him a brewery up at 12Sth
street and Amsterdam avenue was
going to change hands and there was
large amount of beer there hat
was going to be poured into the
sewers"
The plan then outlined by Foley
was that the two agents should take
charge of the beer and divert it to
them, Dunigan said. Foley estimated
the beer was worth 100000, Dun
igan testified.
They also talked over the Jersey
situation, Dunigan testified, and
Foley said the prohibition director
for New Jersey, Mr.. Chamberlain,
was being paid to allow the brew
cries to run. Es

Albert Edelstein, the Kearny ave-

gram from Omaha, Neb., was re-
ceived by the father yesterday and
the wire said:
"Will be home Wednesday,"
The members of the Edelstein
family were rewarded further yes.
terday by the recovery of the Dort
coupe in which the young man left
this city. Several local men who
have been following the case called
the attention of the mattress factory
owner, the father of the boy, to the
presence of car of this description
near the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton in New Brunswick.
Mr.. Edelstein notified Detective
John Murray and the detective, the
boys father and the two local men
started for the county seat. The
car was recovered and taken back
to this city. 1t is believed that the
young man boarded a train out OF
New Brunswick and went on triI
for a rest or to keep an appoint
ment in Omaha.
The recovery of the car In New
Brunswicg and the receipt of the tel
egram make it unnecessary to con-
tinue the search in North Jersey
He was scheduled to make his regu-
lar business trip to North Jersey
when he left this city last Wednes-
day morning and for that reason
most of the searching was done II
that section.
Every member of the Edelsteir
family. their friends and the EN-
ployees of the Park avenue mattres:
factory. have worked day in anc
day out in an effort to locate the
young man. The twenty -one-year.
old lad was hard worker and his
pleasing ways made him popular
with everyone.
Inasmuch as he was without 9
large sum of money and did MOI
collect any on Wednesday. there was
no reason to fear foul play and i
an accident had occurred. the police
of some city would know about it
On Sunday. members of the family
and the employees of the factory
secured the woods and fields alons
the roads between this city and

The receipt of the telegram has
given the family new life. for it i:
not likely that anyone would send

NEW SCHOOL
FINANCE MOVE
Board of Education Wants
Report ON Obtaining of
City Debt Statement

Secretary Arthur e. Graham was
instructed by the Board of Educa-
ton at an adjourned meeting held
last night in the high school, to
ascertain what action has been taken
towards obtaining a debt statement
shown gthe condition of the city's
finances, in order that 1t may be
learned whether or not the board
will receive the $125,000 requested
for the completion of school No. IL,
which is better known as the Hall
avenue school.
An inspection of the new school
was made yesterday by the building
committee, and last night this COM
mittee reported that the work on
the second floor of the new building
cannot be completed until consld-
erable work has been done on the
third floor. Under the first plan
adopted for the construction of the
building it was decided that only
the first and second floors would be
completed at this time. Now, how
ever, it has been ascertained by the
board that to complete the third
floor at some future date VIII not
only interfere with the holding of
l.,
of the building many thousands oil
dollars.
1t was also pointed out that unless
work is started on the third floor
Immediately it will be impossible to
complete the building in time for the
opening of school. Should the third
floor be left as it is, and 'mpleted
at some later date, it would work
hardshin on the scholars as the
school will have to be closed while
the work is under way. Then it
will mean that the contractor will
have to move is material back to
the place at somee future date and
this coupled with the fact that labor
is expected to take an advance in
the early summer, will mean that the
building will cost between $4,000
and $4,000 more if not completed
at once.
In the general discussion which
followed the report of the commit
tee. 1t was pointed out that the
Board of Education's hands are tied
and even now is dragging along on
the school, while the board and con-
tractor are waiting the results of the
request to the rd of School Esti-
mate for the s125.0O0 necessary to
complete the building at this time.
The small sum spent by this city foT
schools and school improvement
when compared with other nearby
towns was discussed, and this
brought out the already established
fact that this city has done little TO
improve the system during the past
few years.

WORK ON SITE
Of BIG BANK
Contractors Activities Lead
To Report That Building
Will Soon Be Started

Employees of Graham & McKeon
are making soundings today on the
property of the First National Bank,
located on the northwest corner OF
Maple and Smith streets. The work,
which began yesterday afternoon, is
done to ascertain the depth at which
water IS found and the kind of earth
to be encountered when excavation
is started for the new building of
the First National Bank.
For some time past the building
committee of the bank has been at
work inspecting banking buildings
and making general plans for the
interior of the proposed new build
inging which will be located at that
corner, but as yet, according to best
information obtainable today, no
plans have been. prepared. The
chairman of the committee is
Charles d. Snedeker, who Is also
vice president of the Institution, and
as he Is in Europe, it was announced
today that nothing in connection
with the new building will be done
until his return on April 1S.
In a telephone conversation today
with Hamilton f. Kean, president Of
the institution. Mr.. Kean said the
work was being done for him exclu-
sively and not by the bank and that
the contract for the excavation will
probably be between him and the
contractor who is the lowest bidder.
At the bank today it was said no
bids for the excavation have been
asked for as yet. A member of the
building committee stated, however,
that 1t is likely the work of excava-
tion will begin will n a short time.
Although nothing definite can be
learned, It is believed when Mr.
Snedeker returns from Europe,
work on the new building will be
started.
