LEGISLATORS CUT
TEACHERS WAGES
TO DROP GAS TAX
Educators Organize to
Pass Ricca Bill

ALBANY, March 18.-Coincident
with the decision Of Republican leg
islative leaders to drop the proposed
gasoline tax which would bring into
the State treasury revenue totaling
S1S,000,000 there is a great POSSIBLE
ity of the thousands of teachers in
the public schools of the state losing
all chances Of a decent increase in
pay.
Easier to Be Rich.
The reason given by the State law
makers for dropping the gasoline tax
idea is that the estimated resources
for the next fiscal year will be suf-
ficient to keep the state government
going.
At the same time to make sure of
a comfortable surplus the proposal
to cut 100000 from the total APP
porpriation Of S1S,500,OO0 carried by
the so-called Friedsam bill for lad
justing teachers salaries" is now be-
ing seriously considered

Representatives Of the thousands
Of New York teachers are making an

ing the pay of teachers.

studying the demands of the teach
ers for higher pay.

SENATORS RAISE
EXCUSE TO STOP
CRAFT PROBING
Part of Reed Committee
Balks at Private Funds

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The
Reed investigating committee will
face a legal battle if it attempts to
use private funds to impound Penn
sylvania ballots, it was indicated
here today.
Backers of senator-elect William
S. Ware are expected to contend that
private funds cannot be legally used
to carry on a function of the govern
ment.
Don't Want to Probe.
Senatorial legal authorities were
sharply divided upon the reported
proposal of Senator Reed Cd of
Missouri, to have members Of the
committee contribute money to send
after questioned ballots of two Penn
sylvania counties.
Senator Borah (R) of Idaho, holds
the opinion that the Reed committee
would be fully within its rights in
financing the effort, while Senator
Curtis (R) of Kansas is understood
to take the opposite view.
Meanwhile Sergeant-at-arms Da-
vid S. Barry Of the senate was said
to be prepared to refuse to go to
Pennsylvania on funds that do not
come out of the treasury.
The Reed committee has been I'M
able to wrest from Senator Keyes
(R) of New Hampshire, chairman
Of the audits and control committee,
enough of the funds of over $4,000
to the credit of the committee, to
carry on its Pennsylvania inquiry
during the summer recess.
The committees course will be
mapped out here Saturday.

Sapiro tried to get Mortimer Stone,
counsel for several local associations
to bring in his groups of farmers.
Quarrel With Stone.
"Sapiro offered to split the organi-
cation fees with Stone" said Reed.
1t didn't go through because the
Colorado people wanted Stone to head
it and Sapiro wanted to rule it him
self. So they split"
Touching on the financial rewards,
Reed told how in Colorado, Sapiro
asked $4,000 for organizing sep
arate association of potato growers.
This was refused Reed said, and Sa-
Iiro then asked $4,000. When this too
was refused he added, Sapiro sued
the association and got a judgment
Of $500 and costs.
Got Over Half.
In Oregon, Reed said, Sapiro asked
$4,000 for organizing the fruit grow

much. Reed added. but compromised
by paying Sapiro $500.
Sapiro spent the funds of his CO.
operative associations with-a lavish
hands, according to Reeds explana-
ton to the jury. In Kentucky, Reed
said, Sapiro took S4S,500 Of the far
mers money for organizing hurley
leaf tobacco growers and $4,000 more
for uniting the dark leaf tobacco
growers with s22, 500 more as counsel
fees. Some of the latter sued to get
the $4,000 fee back, Reed added, but
lost.
In California, Reed said, Sapiro took
$500 from tomato growers and scat

was the appointment of S65 a month

The largest lump sum mentioned by
Reed. as going into Sapiro's pockets,
was $4,000. This sum. Reed said,
was paid Sapiro by the Tri-State To-
bacco Growers Association in Ken

COPS IN ALBANY
TO BOOST BAUMES
LAW ADDITIONS
Oppose Only Provision
Making Them Study

Police Commissioner Mclaughlin,
District Attorney Joab Banton, to-
gether with scores Of police officials
and prosecutors from various parts
OF the state made a pilgrimage to
Albany yesterday in an effort to
tighten the provisions Of the present
Baumes Law.
More than 20 bills recommended by
the Baumes Crime Commission were
heading for passage, and the added
prestige" Of the New York officials
helped the process along. While the
assembly was hearing the various
measures denounced as being attacks
against the traditional rights of in
dividuals, many Of the bills were slid
ing through the senate with little
difficulty.
Cruel Law.
The Baumes Law under its present
working calls for the sentence to life
Imprisonment of any person who has
been four times convicted Of crime,
the violation being at least in the
class of a felony. The courts have
interpreted in recent cases that sem
tence is obligatory on the part of the
Judge sitting in the fourth case.
As far as the New York City po-
lice department is concerned, all but
two of the 40 proposals to "curb
criminals and prevent crime" has its
support, Commissioner Mclaughlin.
told the Codes Committee at the hear
ing yesterday.
Police Won't Study.
The commissioner said his depart
ment was opposed to the bill which
would compel police to attend train
ing schools before they could be pro-
NOTED, and the measure providing for
central bureaus Of criminal records
in cities Of more than 100000.
"The so-called police educatiorsbill."
complained Mclaughlin, "would ac-
complish nothing in the way of rails
ing the standards of police officers.
ut would, however, be the means of
aepriving the police force of the right
kind of men. 1t would be blow at
the civil service system"
Merchants Approve.
Arthur M. Travis, representing the
Merchants Association Of New York
City, said his organization approved
all the new amendments TO the present
vicious Baumes Law with the excep-
ton Of the police education bill.
Assemblyman Esmond, vice-chair-
man Of the Baumes Commission an
nounced that the bill which would
have revOlutionized the probation sys-
tenn in New York City, will be amend
ed to meet objections raised by judges.
Judge to Influence Jury.
Some of the amendments TO the
Baumes Law which are pretty certain
of passage call for the Tightening
of the presumption Of innocence now
resting with the defendant" and for
permitting judges to express their
opinions on the case during the pro-
gress of the trial. Policemen on the
basis of minimum of two for each
1000 residents, and in some localities
for $50 residents, is also called for
in the amendments to the present law.
