and meanness. Recently q woman re-
cluse died in an outlying district Of the
metropolis. She had been one Of the first
to apply for old-age relief, and the IN
vestigation gave her q clear record Of
eligibility; she was past the minimum
20, she was citizen, had resided in the
State more than 10 years and in the
district more than one year. She had
no known relatives, and was feeble, i'm
poyerished, unable to earn living. The
strictest inquiry failed to show that she
had any property or any source Of In
come other than the charity Of neigh
bors who had been supplying her with
food.
But-she was found dead in her attic
home one morning, and when the police
came to investigate, two bank books
dropped out Of the blankets Of her bed.
The deposits totaled more than 1900
old accounts that had not been posted
in years.
TO guard against the miser and the
"chiseler," the welfare departments
have developed system Of canvassing
the banks. In New York City, Frank J.
Taylor, commissioner Of public welfare,
has inaugurated the practice Of calling
at once on the 13 largest savings banks
but there are scores Of others, and
there have been cases in which an appl-
cant Is accepted and begins to receive
his pension before his status at the bank
is discovered.
An instance Of this kind Is the case Of
an old. man of 80 whose household con-
sists of his wife and three children, all
unemployed. The father mentioned that
Evening star., 1933-05-21

he had had two older sons, but Is they
had disappeared and had not been heard
from in years, he assumed that they
were dead. To support himself and
family the old man had been peddling
shoe laces and soliciting aims. He was
granted SIS a month, beginning In Janu-
ary, 1891.
In June, 1882, one Of the welfare agents
discovered that the pensioner had de-
posit Of 81, 1,700.50 in an East Side savings
bank. Then another account Of $155
was turned up, and still later q third
balance Of $839. The almost daily entries
showed that the shoe lace peddler was
banking an average of SIS a week.
Soon after these discoveries were made
the deposits disappeared-they had been
withdrawn and the accounts closed. The
pensioner, challenged as cheater, said
that the money was not his own, but his
children's, and that they had compelled
him TO withdraw the deposits and turn
the money over to them.
About this time, too, one Of the long
lost sons was found. He proved to be
living in the city, was real estate man,
well dressed, well quartered In Offices.
The money, he said, had been invested
in his business. Business was bad. He
was too impoverished to refund the $3.50
that had been paid his father in pen
sion money. Criminal prosecution Of this
case is now under way.
Often the cheater is cleverer than this
old man. Usually he hides his bank
account under an assumed name-but it
is hard to keep such secrets from neigh
bors, and invariably there Is "A Friend"
or zone Who Knows Them" who writes
Evening star., 1933-05-21

an anonymous letter and tips the CONF
missioner OF.
Altogether, out Of the more than $4,000
persons in New York City who have been
granted old-age relief, less than TOO
persons have been found to be ineligible
because Of their ownership Of bank
funds or other means of support. OF
these, all but 50 have refunded in full.
Many of them made their applications
in ignorance. thinking that any citisen
over 70 was entitled to a place on the
pay roll. Several voluntarily came IN
and made restitution; others refunded
their grants as soon as they were told
they must.

TOWER
(Near Woodenhawk)

WOOdenhawk again defeated Broad
Creek in an exciting and hard fought
baseball game played at Broad
Creek last Sunday, to 4.
The game, featured by a rally in
the first and home run by Davis
in the second, gave WOodenhawk an
advantage in the first half of the
game. The excitement and interest
was reversed i'm the second half
when il apparently seemed that
Broad Greek, after several attempts
before, wOul durn the outcome of
the game by loading the bases ir
the seventh. Then an error, the
bases still loaded and more danger.
Davis worked effectively and retired
the next batter on strikes. They
succeeded in only scoring three
runs. They again threatened in the
eighth and scored again on another
error. The game ended eXcitingly in
the ninth, to 4.
Both pitchers, Locates and Davis
worked hard. but the breaks went
TO the favor of Davis who won his,
second game of the season.
II was the best ball game played
this season and held both the in
terest and attention of everyone
present. Thanks to the sportsman
ship of the fans who witnessed the
game. May Z, Maple Shade at the

findings the State Highway Commits
sion had decided that Private Raj
eigh b. Hill should again be placed
under suspension pending further
investigation into his alleged activ-
tiles in connection with the case
TraynOr and Hammerer were dis
missed without pay but MalOney
will receive half pay for the four
months that he was under suspen-
sion, Superintendent Reynolds said.
While Mr.. Reynolds refused to dis
cuss the evidence acquired during
the investigation, he said the reason
Maloney would receive half pay was
because the evidence was not as
strong against him as against the
others.
Attorney General Daniel ]. lay
ton said Tuesday that he has not at
that time received the evidence from
the State Highway Commission and
could not say what. if any, charges
would be placed against the men un-
til he nad studied it.
Private George L. GrOtZ, who ad-
mitted taking one of the cases from
the truck before the liquor was
stored in the station, was repri-
manded by the commission and fin
ed half pay for two months.
Private Charles Shockley, who al |
so admitted taking a case, was also
reprimanded and fined half pay for
twenty days.
Superintendent Reynolds said this )
action on the part of the commits
sion practically completes the in
vestigation that has been made into
the theft of the liquor by the State
Highway Department although fur
ther investigation into the case of
Hill will be made. Any further ac-
tiOn will be taken by the Attorney
General.
