Gotham Engineer Kills Self
Rather Than Reveal
Office Secrets.
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE


NEW YORK, July 1O.-On his way
to undergo another day of grilling
at the hands of the states inquisi-
tors in New York City graft, Chief
Engineer Traugott F. Keller of the
department of docks hurled him
self in front of a subway train to-
day and died rather than reveal any
more secrets of his department.
His death was the signal for new
revelations by the legislative COM
mittee investigating corruption
which announced that Keller in two
weeks of private examination, had
admitted accepting $4,000 in split
fees" for cooperation" with private
contractors engaged in city business.
Meanwhile, at the Old Slip po-
lice station, officials kept the
identity of "a man who fell or
jumped in front of a southbound
express train at the Bowling Green
station" secret until newspaper in
vestigators obtained description
of him. And at that point, the
transit commission, making its own
investigation of the tragedy, an
nounced that the case was suicide.
A subpoena hurriedly was issued
and served on Jacob Weiss, Keller's
secretary, commanding him to ap-
pear with "the black bag" in which
Keller'S documents had been placed.
When these were brought before
the investigators, quick appraisal
of them, according to the author
tiles, revealed records so interest
ing" that Samuel Seabury, chief
investigator, postponed his project
ed weekend trip to his country
home on Long Island, in order to
study them.

Ex-senator Brookhart (Rep., Ia)
today condemned chain stores as "a
phase of the great monopolistic
phenomena is now is rapidly trans
forming the United States into a
financial autocracy."
Speaking at the University of Viz
ginia institute of public affairs, he
estimated that chain stores now do
II per cent? of the retail business.
He said they gather in 40 per cent
of all the retail profits on food and
wearing apparel, so per cent of all
retail profits on drugs and rs per
cent of the profits on gasoline.
If the growth of chain stores is
not checked, Brookhart declared,
they soon will create a monopoly
