POLICE BELIEVE DEATH
THREAT NOTE is HOAX

indianapolis detectives today we're
inclined to regard as a hoax a let
ter with the printed signature of
Tommy O'Connor," threatening to
kill a few policemen.
A Tommy .O'Connor, under sem
tence of death, shot his way to free
dom in Chicago several years ago.
The letter addressed to The
Times and the chief of police:
well, am loose g. free as bird
in your HOOSIER metropolis so tell
these big dump Indianapolis cops to
not cross me or they will be big dead
Indianapolis cops.
Lovingly,

said. where the restrictions are
the severest, the most trouble is

"No one can tell me that our boys

NAzING Leads
TO RACE ROW
At HOSPITAL
Jews AIIege MiStreatment
by GentiIes in New York
Institutions.
WALKER IS AROUSED
Patients Neglected, Say
Leaders in Bitter Contro-
versy in Gotham.
WALKER is AROUSED

NEW YORK, June 23.-Jew and
GENTLE we're opposed today in the
Jewish city in the world, the Jews
alleging that discrimination against
them in city welfare lnstltuUlons
had brought shame, humiliation ana
Reglect to their race.
As a. result of the charges, SIX
Gentle internes of Kings County
HOSPITAL had been peremptorlly
ordered from the premises and their
places taken over by four jewish
internes from other city institutions.
The six suspended men were
charged by three Jewish lnternes
with having hazed them.
The hazing charge was minor
matter until investigation developed
further charges of discrimination
against Jews, allegedly extending
over a period of twenty-five years
and involving patients as well as
internes.
Walker Begins Probe
Mavor James j. Walker expected
his Investigations in Kings County
Hospital to begin this week and IN
addition there will be hearing IN
court, since the Gentle internes
have been charged with assault by
the Jews who were hazed. An offer
to withdraw the charges if the six
internes resigned from the hospital
was rejected by Jeter B. Smith, their
counsel.
After visiting the hospital, Mayor
Walker intimated that the entire
public welfare department, headed
by Bid F. Coler, would be subjected
to investigation.
Nathan Sweedlar, counsel for the
internes, said his clients were
''heckled, examined and cross
examined and evidence was taken
away from them, including the
sxopes with which they we're bound,
<Ae sheets with which they were
Wed and their torn pajamas."
This took place, Sweedler said,
when the hospital internes commit
tee summoned the hazed men to in
vestigate their story. Sweedler said
he would be able to regain the evil
dence.
Claims Patients Neglected
"We will show that Jewish pa
tients we're neglected" he said, "and
that on one occasion a patient was
left for four hours unattended, the
inferno leaving with a disparaging
remark.
"Internes with Jewish names we're
not allowed to sit at the same Ia
BILE in the dining room with Gentle
doctors.
Foul smelling smoke capsules
we're thrown in their rooms. If
they locked their doors, the tram
SONS were pried open. Nurses were
encouraged to be discourteous to
them and to disobey their orders"
