Ward Leaders to Rake

Gambling in republican and demo-
cratic elubhouses will continue undis-

ed-up peace between democratic dis
trict leaders and Police Commissioner
Mclaughlin, following RAIDS on three
democratic clubhouses in Brooklyn
last week.
Tammany politicians were flus-
tered by the last weeks gambling
raids which temporarily halted the
lucrative business which ward leaders
have been carrying on. Alderman
McGuiness, who was arrested in the
raids and who viruously denied his
guilt in the alternate chamber, did
a $500. 00O business last year, accord
ing to evidence found in his safe.

HUNTERS AMEND
BAU MES LAWS
PISTOL BILL"
Judges Lobby to Retain
Probationary VOwer

ALBANY, March Relatively
unimportant amendments were being
made by the Baumes Crime Commits
sion to the II measures now before
the legislature as result of obiec-
tions raised by various interests thru
out the state.
While the bill intended to tighten
the presumption Of innocence on the
part Of a defendant" and other meas
ures calculated to make the dispen-
sation Of justice even more rare than
it is at the present time, much blood
was being spilled by Rod and Gun
Clubs, and other sport societies, in
an effort to fight one of the amend
ments which would interfere with
their recreations.
Gun Clubs Lobby.
This is the "pistol bill' which
caused so much commotion The or
iginal bill would make it difficult for
members of these organizations to
purchase firearms.
Another concession" was made to
New York City judges who objected
to the amendment to the Baumes Law
which provided for the appointment
Of a city probation officer by the
mayor. The bill in it's compromised
form continues control Of probation
offices by the judges.
Housing Causes Crime.
Enthusiasts for the brutal Baumes
Law got a severe jolt Saturday when
the report covering years study
of the causes of crime was made pub
JIG by the New York State Crime
Commission.
The Investigations are being made
on the basis of "crime areas" and
the scene Of operations OF the COM
mittee was laid in what is known as
The Red Hook section Of Brooklyn,
where it found that wretehed housing,
poor home life, lurid motion pictures,
and lack Of supervised recreation had
given one out Of every 20 boys living
in the section a criminal record be-
fore he reached the age of 16.
A study Of the lower East Side in
Manhattan is now being made by
the committee, which includes social
workers, lawyers and teachers.
Fortified Bank.
"Crime-wave" hysteria is resulting
in ingenious inventions. Yesterday,
in Elizabeth, New Jersey, police Of
ficials Of the town and ali the presi-
dents Of all the banks relaxed in com
fort and serenity after a new device
was found to be effective against
hold-ups.
An armored turret in the Elizabeth
port Bank, from which guard with
a rifle can cover every corner of the
bank, proved its oullet-proof qualities
when six men, representing bandits,
fired 80 or more bullets at il from
military rifles and other firearms.
The test was made after banking
hours in order to let the tellers and
bookkeepers view the spectacle.

COURT EDICT ON
KITCHENETTES is
REALTORS MOVE
New Builders Want No
Cooking in Old Houses

ALBANY. March 20.-The recent
court decision forbidding cooking in
the kitchenettes Of wealthy apartment
hotels may result in a general re-
vision of the Tenement House Law.
Senator Benjamin Antin of the Bronx
on Saturday introduced d bill to Gre
ate temporary commission to in
vestigate the working Of the law and
present recommendation TO the next
session Of the legislature.
Realtors Battle.
During the past week several bills
were introduced in the legislature
to exempt modern fireproof apart
ments from the section of the Tene-
ment House Law on which the court
decisions were based, but little pro-
gress was made because real estate
interests are not all united whole
heartedly behind them. The rub comes
in because some of the realtors have
already spent much money in con-
structing buildings complying with
the recent Interpretation Of the law.
thus return 70 the mere liberal
law would be considered "discrimina-
ton" against these landlords.
$4,000 To Spend.
Under Antin's bill four republicans
and three democrats would be chosen,
with $4,000 TO spend, on a general
investigation not only Of the larger
apartments, but all the problems
raised by the changing methods of
construction and the conversion Of
private dwelling houses into tenement
houses.

TAMMANY SPLITS
MILLION IN CITY
PAY ROLL RAISES

At least 800 Tammy lieutenants of
varying grades and distinction win
be made happier just as soon as the
board Of estimate officially approves
fat increases in their salaries just re-
commended by the Tammany director
Of the budget.
About 20 of the Tammany braves
will be awarded pay increases as high
as $4,000 a year. Among the fortu-
nate ones in this group is brother
in-law of Governor AL. smith,
Christopher J. Dunn, first deputy
commissioner of public welfare. Dunn
is now getting $4,000, and when the
fatter pay envelopes come through,
he will be getting $1,000 for the SER
vices he renders the city and his par
ty.
How To Divide?
All Of these increases, totaling
81, 100000, were scheduled for APP
prevail last week, but were held up
for some reason by Joseph V. Mckee,
president of the board of aldermen.
There is apparently some dispute as
to whether most Of the money should
go TO the petty routineers of Tam
many Hall or to the high-salaried
district leaders and their henchmen
who ride to and from their office in
the city's luxurious high-powered
limousines.
