seabury Reviews Graft Evidence.

After six months of investigation into
the affairs Of Greater New York, DOM
mated by the political organization
known as Tammany Hall, the Legis-
lative Committee acting as board OF
injury has laid before the State Legis-
lature without comment and without
recommendations a report made to 1t
by the chief counsel, former Judge
Samuel Seabury, which makes sweep
ing indictment against the municipal
management and lays the basis for rec
concentrations for changes In the sys-
tenn Of city government. This state
ment, or report, will be considered by
the Legislature In connection with the
pending proposal for the extension OF
the life of the investigating committee
for another year. No SPECIFIC recon-
mendations are made, but indications
are given that certain definite proposals
will be made later that, II adopted by
the Legislature, will work great changes
In the method of administration. One
CT these, it Is deduced, is the substitu-
ton of some form of city manager or
commission form OF government. An
other is tire adoption OF system of
proportional representation and pref
erential voting to protect the interests
of nainorities and shake the power OF
political bosses upon party nomina-
tions." Another is the obliteration OF
lines between borough and county gov
ernments, the elimination of unneees-

A Plea for the Teacher.
II were youngster and were going
back to school,
! don't believe that I'd annoy the teach
er, as a rule;
For teachers have a serious time. They're
busy day by day
Discovering the shorter cuts that lead to
Wisdom's way.
And sometimes when you hold tomor-
rows lessons In great dread,
Your teachers working hard upon the
lesson just ahead
She's always striving earnestly her duty
to fulfill
And hoping you'll all like her-which
I'm confident you will.
Remember that her feelings may be
very much like yours
Regarding the restraints which every
studious mind endures
Shed very much prefer q vastly longer
holiday,
No doubt she's fond Of skating or Of
riding on sleigh.
Don't picture her g tyrant with hard
and naughty heart,
She'll try TO help you like her If you'll
only make a start.
Don't bother her with mischief and with
foolish little jokes,
A. teacher values kindness just the same
as other folks.

To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Is Is surprising to see stated by so
able writer as Mark Sullivan in your
Sunday Issue that a President had heen
lmpeached. see this statement made
SO frequently that I think attention
ought to be drawn to it, President
johnson was tried for impeachment,
put was acquitted after it was found
that there was not a two-thirds vote
in the Senate for conviction. Chief
Justice Chase directed a verdict of ac-
quittal.

ished respect for 1t. What about the
Dred Scott decision and the Tilden-

 Fire extinguishers, he asserted, were responsible for saving many buildings and lives. He gave an il- illustrative example of this saying that only recently at a local garage in the center of the town, me- chanic was. soldering a gasoline tank with a blow torch when the flames immediately shot out to all sections of the garage. The extin- guisher on the wall put out the flames, saving considerable dam- age to the property which might have been completely destroyed by the time an alarm had been reg istered and the firemen sommoned. He concluded stating that persons found guilty of arson in the old days were arrested, stripped and hurled into pitch-fire, which was a severe penalty.

Broadway decided to tell tales on the talebearers, Blessed Event" was hailed as the most entertain ing vehicle in which snooping col- umnists were brought before the public gaze, including their meth ods of news gathering, their own love affairs. and their other deep, dark secrets.
 This successful stage hit by Man uel Self and Forrest Wilson was immediately purchased by Warner Brothers as a vehicle for Lee Tracy ana an all star cast. It went into production with the screen adapta- ton written by Howard Green. The applause of press and public-which greeted the advance showings of the film definitely pointed to it as being one of the outstanding pro- auctions of the year, because of it's plot-its sustained rapid-fire com edy. and consistent fine acting. The pains with which Warner Brothers went about producing this icture is reflected in the cast which was chosen with great care. Lee Tracy who win long be remem- bered by Broadway as the original Hildy Johnson of "The Front Page" is typically suited to the role of the columnist. Allen Jenkins, Milton. Wallace and Isabel Jewel were transported from the origin al New York stage play to do their parts in the picture. The ideal leading lady was found in Mary Brian, and Ned Sparks, Ruth Don- nelly and Emma Dunn were chosen after a careful survey of possible candidates for their respective roles. All of the smaller parts and "bits' were filled by well known and capable players.

 Washington, Oct 25.-UP)- Police departments throughout the United States have been asked to furnish capital officers with in- formation on proposed winter marches" on the Capitol.
 Superintendent E. W. Brown of the metropolitan police told the United Press today that he was seeking such information through other police departments and through the treasury and justice departments.
 Brown said the policy to be fol- lowed in dealing with hunger marchers and others this winter had not been determined. A dis pute over the administrations evic- tion of bonus marchers last July led indirectly to the resignation of Browns predecessor. Brig. General Pelham D. Glassford.
 "I have had conferences with government officials" Brown said today, Ion the question of policy to be followed here if there are 'marchers' this winter. We have not decided anything yet but 1t is being worked out"
 The District of Columbia com missioners in. an order to Glass ford instructed him that "in view of conditions now existing in the district" groups of persons seek. ing to enter the capital should be prevented from doing so unless it be established that such bodies or groups of persons have lawful purpose in coming into the dis- triet."
 "The question Of the legality Of that order has been raised" Brown told inc United Press. "citIzens have the right to come here 10 petition congress. The matter of barring persons from the district is n difieult one. And In easo Of some hundreds of parsons the dif. fieuliias are obvious"

member of the gang implicated, Ernest Ladd, now of parts un- known Is being sought by the state police. It is believed that he is in hiding in Jersey City or Newark.
 The police will make the claim that two weeks ago this evening, Robinson, Ladd, Stance and Gig lio entered Sullivan's drug store to stage a holdup. MT Sullivan frus- trated the attempt by daringly rushing to the rear of the store, seizing a revolver and opening fire on the bandits. Robinson dropped to the floor with a bullet in his abdomen. His companions fled through the front door and escaped in a waiting automobile. The car was found abandoned on a local street the following morning. It had been stolen from Cherry street, according to it's owner. Robinson
 is recovering rapidly from his wound. He is under police guard at present at the hospital and will be brought into court when doc- tors will permit his removal.

 The police pointed out to the United Press, that it would not be at all surprising if another woman of about the same age of Madame Lupescu, and with the same name, and even red hair, arrived at Bu- enos Aires on the liner Neptunia. The name Lupescu, or Lupescue, ts rather common in Rumania.
 Meanwhile political pressure was being brought to bear to effect the reconciliation, often reported to be impending and revived every time Helene comes to Bucharest. Dr Julius Maniu, who became premier of the New Rumanian government lcst week, assumed the premiership on condition that Carol re-estab1ish his marital relations. the United Press was informed.
 The premier was understood to have conferred with the king and the princess, separately,
 Carol was reported to have met Lupescu here Monday, soon after Helene reached Bucharest. Some quarters credited Helene with in- spring foreign reports of an im- pending reconciliation and of Luz pescu's banishment.
 Despite the excitement surround- ing the mother and father, Michael's birthday was not forgot sten. Michael remained at the castle at Sinaia. He was expected to mos tor to Bucharest this afternoon and receive gifts his mother brought Him from England. M

Fewer Fire Hazards { To-day Says Lahey
Marshal Delivers Interesting Talk at Meeting of Putsic T FriarS

My belief, based upon obser- vances and experiences since being 4 member of the Waterbury Fire department, is that damaging fires, in spite of the confiagration of 1902, would not get such a start as easily today as 30 years ago." said Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey in his address before the Putsic Friars fraternity last night at the Central Y. M. c. A.
 However, 1t is quite possible that d similar fire may start, but at the current time local institutions, in- dustrial plants and home buildings are better equipped with non-com- bustible material and in the ma tority of buildings fire hazards have been eliminated.
 He explained the duties Of the fire marshal, few being. to ex- anime buildings in the city, new and old, to survey at least once eyefy three months gun powder and other Illuminating fluids and tO test from time to time kerosene oil and other combustible fluids near buildings, to issue licenses And permits for such and to order fire escapes etc to render the city safe from fire.s All these he as- serted are required by the city ordinance.
 He thoroughly explained how the office of fire marshal was created in this city, capacity the fire chief held up until 15 or 20 years ago. and how the lawyers copied the New Haven charter. made up Y.ow of five wards. brought it be- fore the house and then the sen- ate, before 1t was discovered, caus- ing 1t to be revamped.
 N He clearly narrated how the confiagration of 1902 started on a Sunday evening, following slight rainfall which saved further dam age to the city. At that time it was d sad thing to hear the alarm which was registered from box 1' bringing all paid firemen to the scene of the fire. He told how rapid the fire was in it's course taking all buildings from South Main street. to the Jones-Morgan build ing on Bank street where Fire Mar shal Laf1ey was at the time. In an hour, he added, the building was a memory and the flames had spread quickly down Bank street to cen ter street thence to the buildings this side of the Twenty-Five cent store alley, and then up South Main street.

Y Receives $40
 Blackmar Request
Added to Endowment Fund
 Totaling $55,l2O

A bequest of $40 under the will of Daniel E. Blackmar was report ed at the meeting of the board of directors at the Y. M. c. A. last night. The same was added to the permanent endowment of the Y. M. c. A. under a resolution introduced by John A. Coe in 1925, that all such funds received should be add ed to the endowment. John B. Goss as chairman of the endowment committee stated that the total amount of the Y. M. c. A. Endow- ment is $55,120. The goal of the committee is to secure an endow- ment of $50O,000.
 The reports showed that. with a budget slashed from $20O,OOO to about $125,O00, the Y. M. c. A. had kept within the budget for the first five months of the fiscal year, with the close margin of $35. The audi tors report states that the Y. M. C.. A. is operating on a strict account ing basis, with a daily balance checked on expenditures so as to keep within the budget.
 The reports of activities showed the three Y. M. c. A. buildings with busy programs, and filling a large place in the social needs of the City, with so many thousands of youth unemployed. While the bud get has been reduced, the program of activities is being maintained at full strength.
 The reports showed that the three buildings are in excellent con dition. The North Branch has been repaired and painted and the roof refinished. The Brooklyn Branch has been renovated inside, and the new stone wall and grading job has greatly addedIto the atractive- ness to that locality of the city. The bowling alleys in all three build ings have been resurfaced and such other repairs made so as to keep all equipment in condition for the tremendous use to which it is sub jected because of the crowds thronging the Y buildings.
