cause everybody knows at this time
that Sacramento is bossing this
city. Attorney General Webb has

around in official quarters as to

Of the groundwork of schooling"
required by navy officials before the
brains" of prospective recruits are
considered bright enough to figure
out the most effective methods
whereby workingmen can be legally
murdered--in the name of the flag,
country and the dictatorship of the
capitalist class.
"The navy seeks men with some
education" Tisdale declared. "The
training courses offered provide
splendid opportunities, but to fully
appreciate them there must be a
groundwork of schooling.
"Any man or boy who comes here
to be sailor must have the mental
training required by any CONNER
cial concern" The mental train
ing" of a Red would not do, of
course. This point, or the real
meaning of it, was better explained
in the Evening Herald. "They go in
scrubbing decks, but if think
they're the sort to be still scrub
bing decks four years later I tell
them that the navy doesn't want
them. In four years the sailor
should emerge petty officer. And
he's certainly given every oppor-
tunity to become that"
And here the rapid advancement
and learning" mentioned above,
stops-despite the selection of the
highest type" of men.
Now, suppose that all those boys
of "brains," sons of flag-waving pa
triots, become petty officers, who is
gcing to do the dirty work-the
"scrubbing of decks?"
This is a similar proposition as
the insane illusion that every
worker in this country has chance
to become a millionaire. and even
president-some day, they add. Yes,

bluejackets, perhaps.

to join the navy. "The sailors are

Worker Correspondent Reveals Job Purchase Conditions IN the anthracite
"Ihe Jealous Moon, by and
with Jane CoaUl Is WisBMl

JANE COWL, who hasn't been seen
y on Broadway for some time is
back on Broadway in "The Jealous
Moon" at the Majestic Theatre. The
play, however, is Of that gossamer
and fanciful material that we fear
it will fail to attract New York
theatre-goers for long. The opus
is a long, involved and sumptuously
cast and mounted work by Jane
Cowl and Theodore Charles.
Prominent among the actors are
Miss Cowl, Philip Merivale and Sir
Guy Standing.
The story is one of some pup
peteers with a prologue showing the
tiny stage of marionette show as
Columbine expires gently in moon
lit garden in the arms of Pierrot.
The curtains slide back. The little
wooden figures are trussed up and
the puppeteers descend from their
gallery; real Pierrot and real Col
umbine, with a Harlequin and the
other Columbine accessories them
selves play the loves and drama of
their own lives.
Miss Cowl is stunning to look at,
her costumes particularly appealing,
and she is given every opportunity
to indulge in the famous weeping
that was associated with her his
trionic performances earlier in her
career.
Philip Merivale is effective as
Pierrot, but Guy Standing seems to
be miscast.
Once there was a successful play
Of this genre "Pierrot the Prodigal,"
that had an elfin sprite in the per-
son of Margot Kelly, she of the
flaming red locks.
Another time there was another
performance of this sort, "Clair de
Lune," by, with and for the Barry
mores. This opus was not a sue
cess.
1t seems to US that ''The Jealous
Moon" falls somewhere between
these two plays.
In this theatrical era of sex-rid-
den Broadway productions, night
club and bootlegging dramas it
seems that the public should react
to thing of silk fancy again; prob
ably they would if "The Jealous
Moon" with its present lavish trap
pings were a better play.

$5,0OO,O(O GRAFT
COMBINE CHARGED
New York Street Cleaning
Department EmpIoye Ac-
cuSes "Higher-Ups."

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June "A story OF
graft in the New York street cleaning
department, with the amount involved
estimated between S5,000,000 and
$7.000,000, was on record today in the
trial of two suspended officials of the
department.
The estimate was made by William j.
Lougheed, suspended foreman, as a
witness for the State in the trial of
Charles A. MCGEE and William j.
Oswald, his superiors in the Bronx
division.
Lougheed, who had been in the de-
partment for 30 years, said that in 1915
he decided to get some of the easy
money himself and that in 10 of the
last 13 years he had actually witnessed
the theft Of 100000 from the city
through pay roll padding
Although he said his conscience al
ways hurt for every dirty dollar" he
testified that he had personally COL
lected about $1,000 in graft since 1915.
The S50-a-week garage foreman told
OF flashing rolf of $4,000 around
the garage, of losing as much as $50, 900
IN one days betting at the Belmont
Park race track, and OF throwing $4,000
in small bills into the air one day In
the garage Just for the fun of it,
He said everybody in the Bronx
knew him as big gambler and that he
sometimes wagered as much as 81 900
on one roll of the dice in games in the
garage with other employees.
Although he gave the court no definite
proof, he said he believed the graft
went clear downtown" by which he
meant to high officials in the city gov
ernment. He named Alfred A. Taylor,
street cleaning commissioner, as a
possible recipient Of some of the graft.
Mr.. Taylor later yehemently denied the
charges.
