ASSERTS Sewer
CRATER ALIVE
Phillips Not Buried,
Says Doctor

While the district attorney and
Tammany police officials are per-
sisting in their refusal to consider
the "mysterious" death of William
D'Olier, sanitation engineer, as one
of deliberate murder, another name,
that of John M. Phillips, has again
come to the fore.
Phillips, involved deep in the
$29, 100000 Queens sewer graft, was
reported to have died of "acute al
coholic poison" in Atlantic City on
July 2.
The startling declaration was
made yesterday by DR.. Louis H.
Taylor that he believes Phillips is
still alive, and that another body
had been substituted at the time of
the funeral services in Long Island
City. At that time he had noticed
the body did not resemble his friend,
Phillips, and had communicated his
belief to others present at the
funeral.
Exhumation of the body presum-
ably that of the Queens graft czar,
may be made as result of the
present disclosure.
The belief recalls the activities of
the Queens sewer contract gang
which manipulated contracts for
work in that district and whose per-
sonal was carefully herded and
guarded by Phillips who was careful
to prevent inquiry into the workings
of the ring"
D'Olier's Rib Fractured.
Meanwhile, District Attorney Y
Newcombe yesterday continued his
listless Investigation" of the death
of D'Olier.
The most impressive evidence
which brings additional support to
the murder theory was uncovered
yesterday, with the discovery on
D'Olier's body of a fracture of the
cartilage connecting the eighth rib
to the breast bone. This, it is pointed
out, reveals clearly that a struggle
must have taken place before death

HOUSE STARTS
FARM AID
FIGHT

The long awaited fight oyer farm
relief in the House got under way
today with rival leaders debating
the effect Of the McNary- Haugen
bill upon the 1923 Presidential cam
paign as well as upon the Ameri-
can farmer.
The political controversy was pre-
cipitated into the spotlight by the
Ohio primary victory OF Secretary
Hoover The primary results of q
half dozen other States We're also
drawn into the discussion.
Representative Dickinson RI OF
Iowa, leader OF the farm bloc,
predicted the bill would pass the
House by majority twice that Of
last year as a result of political
pressure back home. His state
rnent was Immediately challenged
by Representative Fort gs.l OF New
Jersey and other opponents Of the
$500 900 900 bill for the handling Of
the agricultural surplus.
THE expressions already made by
members Of the House indicate that
we will have double the majority
of last year, when the McNary-
Haugen bill passed by 26 votes,
said Dickinson.
"The reason IL plain: 1t is the
political effect of the economic con-
dition of the farmer. Members of
Congress who have opposed equality
for agriculture are being retired,
and the voters are putting men in
their places who favor relief for
the farmer"
Dickinson declared that Secretary
Hoover could not be elected Presi-
dent because, among other things,
of his attitude on the farm sques-
