WARREN IS GOAT
WALKER FOES SAY
New York Mayor AssaiIed by
Political Opponents as
Police Chief Quits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December IA dec
laration by political opponents that
public oponion would not be satisfied
by making Police Commissioner Warren
the "scapcgoat" of the Rothstein in
vestigation confronted Mayor Walker
today.
The communication, signed by George
u Harvey Republican president-elect
of Queens Borough, and Norman
Thomas, chairman of the public affairs
committee of the Socialist party. sug-
gested the mayor personally sit as a
committing magistrate to conduct a
thorough investigation into the case.
Warren sent his resignation to the
mayor yesterday with the request 1t be
made effective not later than December
81. The mayor has rendered the post to
Grover Whalen, general manager of the
Wanamaker stores and chairman of the
mayors reception committee, who. how
ever has not yet announced whether
he would accept 1t.
Rothstein Walker Supporter.
The Harvey-Thomas letter called to
the mayors attention that New York
Is Allied with talk to- the effect that
members of both the police department
and the district attorneys office are
far more anxious to cover up the facts
of RoJhstein's death than to reveal
them.
LAS you we'll know, it has been pub
licly and repeatedly charged among
other things, that Rothstein was a
generous supporter of your political
organization and a 'fixer' for the police
department.

satisfy the public on these points. Nest
cmphatically the public will not be
satisfied nor should your conscience be
satisfied by the forced resignation of
Police Commissioner Warren
District Attorney Joab H. Banton
announced that Mrs. Bridget FAIRY
Park Central Hotel chambermaid, who
said she knew who killed Rothstein but
wouldn't tell. had changed her attitude
and given him graphic description of
events IN the hotel preceding the shoot
ing of the gambler.
Woman Names BiIler.
Mrs. Fairy was reported to have
identified picture of Hyman (Gilly)
Biller, whose description and picture
were broadcast by police yesterday. as
one of the occupants In room $40,
where Rothstein was lured and shot the
night of November 4. The police circular
revealed that Biller was one of the men
named in four murder indictments re-
turned by the county grand jury. George
McManus, the only other one of the
four identified, is in Jail awaiting trial
Federal officials announced that "sus-
picious happenings" at the hotel where
Mrs. ,hlne Boyd of Chicago has been de-
tained'in one phase of the Rothstein in
ve5tigation have led them to fear the
possibility of an attempt either to harm
her or to tamper with her as prospac-
tive witness.
AS result of these unexplained hap
peningS it was learned that Mrs. Boyd
probably will be remanded to Jefferson
Market Woman's Prison as material
witness.
She was brought from Chicago after
Joseph Unger was arrested in Buffalo
and trunks to which he held the checks
and keys were seized with $4,000, 900
worth of narcotics in them. Unger, re-
puted leader of an international mar
cotic syndicate financed by Rothstein,
had telephoned Mrs Boyd before leav-
ing this city to take the trunks to Chi
cago. Agents who went to her apart
ment found an additional $500,000
worth of narcotics there.
United States Attorney Tuttle Is ex-
pected to take Mrs. Boyd before a Fed
eral Judge and have her held in such
high bail that she will be unable to fur
nish it. She is mentioned as con-
spirator of Unger in the bill indicting
him, but is not made defendant. IL
has been intimated that she had prom
ised to give the Government all the
assistance she could in the prosecution
of Unger and the investigation of the
narcotic syndicate.

therefore decided to take tne risk.

Consultation Last 90 Minutes.
The British medical Journal said tina.
the palace bulletins have recorded the
fluctuations of an extremely viruleDt
malady which would have taxed the
strength of even man OF powerful
physique in carly life.
The consultation among the physi-
clans this morning lasted for an hour
and a half and it was understood that
they would return to the palace this
afternoon.
: There naturally is wide public graf
over the less critical turn which
the Kings case appears to have taken:
The lessening of the tense anxiety OF
the past few days was reflected in the
diminution to some extent Of crowds
around the palace and the altered atti-
tude of those who came to read the bull
letin board
Recently spectators had become plain
ly fearful Of bad news. Most of them. to-
day approached the board with an air
of more confidence as though expecting
better tidings There was a feeling,
however, that oyerconfidence would be
ill-advised and that King George is still
in such at state as to cause the nation
great concern.
The Prince of Wales has been taking
matters quietly since his return from,
Africa. Last evening he dined with his
mother and the Duke and Duchess of
York in a family gathering at Buck
tngharn, Palace. 1t is understood that
he will stay In London as long as his
father Is in danger. He will make no
public engagements for the time being

The reason why Froe denoted his

clear" but it was indicated to be due
% the fact that Froe had promoted his
employees during the last half Of the
seal year ending June 80, 1928, to
such an extent that he saw he could
not continue through the present fiscal
ear under the appropriations and have
sufficient funds to last to June 80, 1929.
Authority Denied.
"It is understood said McCarl that
in none of the cases under consideration
was demotion made for inef1ciency or
with the approval of the Personnel Clas-
sification Board III the absence there
of. or of reduction in the total amount
appropriated for personnel, there was no
authority for the demotion as indicated
on the pay rolls Your attention is in
vited also to the saving clause in Sec
ton of the act Of May %, 1923, known
as the Welch act, that nothing con-
tanned in this act shall operate to de-
crease the pay of any present employe.'
1t would appear, therefore. that the ad-
ministrative action was unlawful"
Ordering the Official WEIGH increases
into effect back to last July, McCarl
warned that "only the proper amounts
of increases directly resulting from the
WEIGH act should be submitted to the
Congress Under the WEIGH act for de-
f1ciency appropriation"
Citing examples of what salaries
should be raised, McCarl told Froe to
raise his own salary from $500 to
$4,000. the first deputy recorder from
$500 to $3,700. the second deputy re-
corder from $4,000 to $3,10o, Ida Jen-

WESTERN AUTO
WINDOW DISPLAY
IS UNIQUE One

One of the most interesting win
dow displays that has ever been
shown by any local automotive CON
ccrn has been installed by the
Western Auto Supply Company in
their store at 669 Main Street.
This display is the first of series
of four to be presented in the West
crn Auto windows on the building
of an automobile tire. These dis
plays will follow the steps in tire
building from the time the raw rub
Der and cotton leave the planta
tions until the tire is installed on
an automobile.
According to J. A. Hall, local
manager, the Western Auto win
dows, like their prices, are uniform
throughout the entire territory
served by them Although this
series of tire displays was created
at a great expense, the company be-
lieyes that the educational value
of such a display will more than off
set the cost of building them.
The building of the Western
Giant tire' series will travel from
store to store until the entire list
of more than $50 stores receive it.
The popularity of Western Auto
tires is evidenced by the fact that
more than six million dollars worth
of Western Giant and Wcar-well
tires were purchased by automobile

TWO GAMES AT
CENTRAL UNION
ARMISTICE. DAY

A double-hcadcr football scramble
is booked for the high school field
Monday afternoon. In the opening
contest the Central alumni team will
do battle with the Junior College
while the closing feature will be a
Valley High School league game in
which the Central squad will meet
the Calexico Bulldogs.
Calexico, leader of the league, is
q heavy favoritc over the Central
team but it is expected that the
latter will show much better form
against the Calexicans than they
have displayed in their other con
tests this season. Coach Armstrong
has been driving the boys hard
throughout the week in an effort to
snap them into real football and his
work appears effective.
The team will also be in better
shane than when they stacked up
against Brawlcy week ago today.
Schumm and Sweeney have recover
ed from illnesses and others who
had been temporarily on the in
jured list, are back in the lineup.
The opening game between the
alumni and Junior College promises
to be one of the hardest fought bat
ties waged on the local field this
year. The teams are quite evenly
the alumni being slightly
favored to win.
The Junior College team, however,
is apt to throw a surprise in the
camp of the alumni for the boys
Lave been working faithfully under
Coach Lucas and while lacking
somewhat in numbers they have an
excellent squad of first string men.
The alumni boys have been work
ing out regularly under their coach
and manager, Russell Klicgcl, and
have developed into the best alumni
squad ever produced in this city.
The first game will start promptly
