UntGrInoyer Attacks
Tanlnlany Methods
MISUNDERSTANDING
By ROBERT MITCHELL.

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Tammany-New York State Transit
Commission, has attacked the impor-
tance of the latest Tammany-inspired
decision of Supreme Court Justice
Wasservogel, directing the Board of
Estimate to eliminate S13,000,000
from the city budget for subway
building.
Denying the power of the court to
render such a decision, Mr. enter
nyer has affirmed the right of the
city to allot funds for subway con-
struction. At the same time the one
man-controlled Citizens Union, which
was instrumental in securing the de-
cision of Justice Wasservogel, an
nounced through its counsel, Leonard
Wallstein, that the decision would ac-
complish all that had been intended
by it.
Link In Plan.
The decision, not considered impor-
tant in itself, is regarded by compe-
tent observers as one Of the neces-
sary links in the Traction Trust
controlled Tammany administration
plan to set aside the Untermyer tran
sit unification plan and pave the way
for the coming increased fare move.
In Tammany Hall, on E. 18th St. it
is quite openly whispered that the
city administration has decided that
the time was opportune to "side-
track" the whole Untermyer scheme
and that this was the explanation for
the numerous proposals and counter
proposals which Mr.. Untermyer has
been making during the past few
weeks. At the same time it is known
that the conflict between the Morgan
interests, which control the |. R. t.,
and the Chase National Bank-Dahl-
Chadbourne group has been almost
completely ironed out and that the
sporadic fireworks which still flare up
are set off for their effect.

GIVEN JURY
Prosecution Demands
Death For Motor
ious Outlaw

OKMULGEE, Okla, Sept. 17.-(R
Life or death for Matthew kimes
was set forth MS the issue by the
defense in the closing argument
preparatory to handing the fate Of
the outlaw youth, charged with mur-
der. to ~ men tonight.
Death in the chair is the only ver-
dict that can change the status Of
the notorious Kimes, as he is under
life sentence now. District Judge
James NJ. Hays, in his instructions
to the jury this afternoon gave them
three alternatives - life imprison-
nent at hard labor, death or ac-
ouital. Kimes already is under life
sentence. Closing statements began
at 3:42 D. m. with County Attorney
A. N. Boatman slapping the marble
railing before the jurymen. AT 4:4o
Sid White of Oklahoma, for the de-
fense, began pounding his left palm
with his clinched right fist. At $3.50
D. m. Judge Hays declared an inter-
mission of an hour and q half. Spec
tators, hundreds Of whom had not
risen for eight hours, moved stiff
fened joints toward the doors.
The afternoons events followed a
morning fraught with excitement for
the greatest crowd of the five day
court days. Kimes appeared In shirt
sleeves for the first time to take the
stand and answer nervously the
queries that consumed an hour he
declared he was with his mother at
her sickbed in Van Buren, Ark, on
Nav 1s, the day of the death OF
Police Chief W. J. Mc9naly at Beggs'
for which he is held responsible.
There was no other statement 70
support the bandits alibi.
II was decided that the jury re-
tire without deliberation tonight.
Its verdict cannot be reached before
tomorrow morning.

Deadlock Looms In
Picking New Sheriff

When the commissioners court
meets this week to attend to the
business Of naming a successor to
the vacancy caused by the death of
Sheriff W. T. Nann, a situation
similar to that OF over a year ago
when a deadlock Of weeks standing
occurred, was foreseen in Browns
vile Saturday.
AT that time the commissioners
were seeking to name a successor to
Colonel Sam Robertson, resigned.
Name after name was taken up by
the court, voted on and no conclusion
reached. there being a deadlock with
one commissioner not voting. Event
ually the commission came to an
agreement, L. G.. Nichols Of Harlin-
gen being named sheriff.
The present situation grows out
of the fact that several names are
being suggested for the vacancy,
with very strong pressure being
brought to bear to bring about the
appointment Of Mrs. W. 7. Vann,
widow Of the late sheriff, to COM
plete the unexpired term. Sheriff
Eann went into office last January
/ and his term would not have ex-
pired until the 3lst Of December,
is2s.
Friends OF Mrs. vann, who has
filed the only formal application
for the place, point out that she is
entitled to the benefits Of the of
flee for the remainder Of the term.
They declare that the personnel of
the office Is such that the admins
trative duties can be performed by
Chief Deputy Sheriff Duncan Wright
and Chief Office Deputy r. G. Bry-
son. They also point out that
Sheriff Vann had been i'll much of
the time since he went back into Of
flee last January and that the af-
fairs Of the office ran smoothly not
withstandiDg.
Courthouse gossip Saturday had IL
that at least two Of the county COM
missioners have committed them
selves to the appointment Of Mrs.
Vann to fill the place, while a third
has not yet made up his mind gut
is said TO lean toward Mrs. Vanh.
Two other commissioners are said
to favor either S. VI. Jester, special
Investigator out Of the district at
torney's office and former ranger
and chief deputy OF Cameron county,
or C. A. Manahan, a former deputy
sheriff and candidate for sheriff last
year.
Should two Of the commissioners
vote for the appointment Of Mrs.
Vann and two oppose IL, tie would
result which might or might not be
broken by the vote Of the county
judge. County Judge Dancy has
several times voted on matters be-
fore the court in and out Of q tie,
and what he would do under the
present circumstances Is unknown
Few perxons at the courthouse ven-
tured a guess rs TO the route the
county judge might take,
