Planned to "Squeal"
Vivian Gordon was strangIed
six weeks ago after she had come
forward to testify as a witness in
the Appellate Divisions inquiry
into the corruption in municipal
affairs.
She planned to testify against

Her body was found in a thicket
in Van COrtlandt Park.
Stein, according to the police,
tried to pawn Vivian Gordon'S
wrist watch.
That watch had been recovered.
A $4,000 diamond bracelet,
worn on the night she left her
fashionable apartment on her
ride to death, is being traced.

was to marry, then already be-
ginning to be known as Princess
Alice" was in the White House.
Wedding Was Romantic
The courtship of Nicholas Long
worth and Alice Roosevelt was
one of the romances of American
history, They were married on
February II, 1906, just three years
after Nick had come to Washing
ton. That marriage probably at
tained more publicity than any
other in American society. News
papers carried thousands of col
umnS of it, and from all over the
world came gifts and best wishes
to the happy couple.
Their home in Washington be-
came the center of society and
politics. If Washington had any
thing approaching a salon, in the
European sense, it was the Long
worth establishment.
There the leaders OF society ana
the leaders of politics gathered
regularly and often. It is probably
safe to say that every man
prominent in the politics OF the
Hast quarter century passed through
the Longworth drawing rooms, 1r-
respective of party. Nick's popu-
larity and Alice's wit and charm
combined tn form an irresistible
magnet.
Defeated in 1912
Until 1912 their life flowed
along like a story book romance
Then Theodore Roosevelt bolted
the Republican party and led
that flaming revolt which resulted
in Woodrow Wilson'S gaining the
White House. Nick was defeated
| in that year. Even the loyal and
rock.ribbed Republican first dis,
trict of Ohio could not Withstand
the terrific Schism caused by the
progressive revolt.
But two years later, In 1914,
he returned jauntily to his seat
to remain thereafter until death
claimed him. Nick and Alice just
picked up where they left off
in 1912, and again their home
became the meeting place OF
fashionable and influential Wash
ingtOn.
In the Sixty-eighth Congress
he was chosen Republican floor
leader. He had been one Of the
influential assistants for some
years before. After one term as
| leader, he was chosen speaker
of the next Congress position
to which he had long asplred
and one which he regarded al
the most important in the AIneri
can political system, next to the
presidency.
Strong Party Man
Nick Longworth was always
known as a regular Republican
and when his distinguished father
in-law left the party Of his fathers
Longworth declined to follow. He
was a strong defender of party
regularity and had little use fol

party banners and then became

as Speaker earned for him the

More than 300 employees and
officials of the bureau are receiv-
ing large salaries for their work,
while at the same time drawing
disability allowances under the
emergency officers retirement
law on the ground that they are
unable to work or at least that
their earning capacity has been
impaired by their disability.
Members of Congress have called
attention to the large number Of
lawyers and physicians employed
by the bureau who are also draw
ing disability pay.
They have charged that the
condition exists because of a
policy of "you scratch my back
and I'll scratch yours" implying
directly that the lawyers have
approved the legality of the
claims for allowances while the
physicians have approved the
claims of physical disability.
Smith Case Cited
One of the most frequently cited
instances of men who are draw
ing large salaries and disability
pay at the same time is that of
William Wolff Smith, chief cOun-
sci for the bureau, who is draw
ing $4,000 annual salary and
more than $4,000 annual disability
allowance.
The only thing which is holding
up the creation of the special
board of review is a ruling by the
Attorney General, it has been
learned. Officials of the bureau
have asked for a ruling which will
enable them to fix definitely the
scope of the reviews. Regardless
Of the ruling, however, it was de-
clared that every case would be re-
viewed before Congress reassem-
bles in the fall.
