Old Gang Murder
will Be Reopevaed

ALBANY, Sept I.N.S) ).-District Attorney John 7.
Delaney of Albany county said today he does not believe
Dixie Davis has tod the whole truth" about the 1885
Staying of Jules Martin.
Davis told District Attorney Charles j. Ranney, of
Rensselaer, county that he present in the Harmony
Hotel at nearby Cohoes in March, 1885, when the late
'Dutch" Schultz in drunken rage, shot and killed
Martin, his former henchman. Delaney said:
'T intend to question Davis he is through
a witness in the Hines trial"
moot point is whether Martin shot through the
iuguar vein died before he hustled of Cohoes
whether he still living when he thrown into the
Troy snowbank.
Most authorities here believe Martin died within Is
minutes after Schultz fired bullet into his throat after
an angry discussion money.

Editorial Campaign
When the Commissioners sent
the fire alarm project to the PWA,
they asked for a $1,000,000 allot-
ment, but this was cut in half.
The new tuberculosis ward
building was made the subject of
an editorial campaign by the Pat
terson Newspapers following an
expose several years ago Of the
inadequate facilities in the Ma.
tion's Capital for battling the
white plague"
This campaign first tasted sue
cess when the Commissioners,
riding the crest of the wave of
public indignation stirred UP by
the expose, obtained funds for the
Glenn Dale (Md.) tuberculosis
sanatorium. The campaign was
continued when it was found the
sanatorium would not meet the
need of tuberculosis victims.

KNEW IT WAS WRONG

Stryker wanted to know If
'Dixie's" conscience didn't botn-
er him when he was bringing men
like Dutch" Schultz and Vein
berg to his home. The witness
said Eyes, after a while knew
it was wrong"
But when his client Joe

made to "kick in" for protection

"You haven't a shred of moral

shouted Stryker.

prise and I didn't know how to
get out of it," replied Davis.
He admitted that after his ar-
rest last February, when he was
put in the same cell in the Tombs
with George Weinberg, he was
not above subornation of per-
Jury.

The court ordered that remark
stricken from the record. Judge
Pecora admonished former Lawyer
Davis, saying, you know that's
improper, as a lawyer"
I'm not trying to be a lawyer

Davis meekly.

Davis, but the Dutch Schultz
gangs disbarred lawyer today
declined to pass judgment on
his own personal appearance.
During cross examination,
Defense Attorney Lloyd P.
Stryker asked Davis whether
he was a mice looking fel-
low" six years ago.
''I'll let you decide that"
said Dixie.
But, he acknowledged, he is
"a bit more cOrpulent" than
he was in 1882.

Davis said he knew" what Vein
berg could testify about.
QUIZZED ABOUT VISITS

QUIZZED ABOUT VISITS
Stryker quizzed Davis about the
time he was allowed to visit DR..
Granger, who was treating him
for infected tonsils. The witness
denied he had gone to the district
attorneys office after visits to the
doctor, but admitted he met as
sistant district attorneys some
where else"
Stryker asked how long Davis
had been in the same cell with
Weinberg and the witness said
from April 20 last until the latter
part of May, when he was placed
in the custody of the district at
torney. Davis declared Weinberg
told him he was going to turn
States evidence, testify against
Hines, and "involve me-"
It knew I was sunk said
Davis. Anyway, tried to pre-
vent him from testifying against
Mr.. Hines. I was trying every
thing in my power to protect
Mr.. Hines" :"
On May 81, Davis said. he de-
cided he also would plead guilty.
Davis said he offered to plead
guilty and sign a confession If the
district attorneys would recon-:
mend clemency to the court and
"they agreed to this" Stryker
asked was this before the in
dictment of Hines and Davis
answered Eyes"
Before he signed the statement,
Davis asserted, he had not in
tended and didn't want to take
the stand for the people IN
Dewey's policy racket case.
Friendly-FOr a Time
Under the cross-examination Of
Stryker, Davis was eloquent in his
description of his friendly feeling
for Hines only for a period OF
time" of course. He admitted ne

Q.-You spoke to Mr.. Hines
about that?
Ayes.
Q.-Repeatedly?
Ayes.

Davis said yes, that after 1882,
he wanted Hines friendship, and
that he contributed to clubs and
entertainments and affairs "in
which Mr.. Hines gets thousands Of
neighborhood children and pro-
vides music and entertainment.
Davis added he contributed to
shows conducted by Hines at
Christmastime.
Davis admitted he bought TICK

HAD MANY TALKS

He said he and Weinberg talked
"over 100 times" for two or three
minutes at q time prior to their
being put in the same cell. Stryker
figured the time as three hours
and 20 minutes. Yes, said Davis,
Weinberg did tell him he had so

committed perjury before the
Federal grand jury, Davis replied
"The last time ! told the
truth"
Q.-When did you commit
perjury before the Federal grand
jury?
Al committed perjury about
q sum of $1s,600 in the same
year I met Mr.. Hines. I believe
that was the latter part Of 1882
or early 1888.
Davis said "oh, yes, sir" he had
committed perjury before the New
York county grand jury and also
at the proceedings when he was
disbarred as a lawyer in New
York.
Admits Tax Perjury
He admitted, too, that he com.
mitted perjury before the New
York Tax Commission and before
the commissioner of accounts.
"You lied under oath7"
shouted Stryker.
"Yes." replied Davis.
Davis did not say just who he
cleared" The implication, how
ever, was that he feared the rem
nants of the Schultz mob.
Davis also admitted he perjured
himself when he was questioned
after Schultz was killed in
October, 1885.
"You weren't in fear of q
dead man, were you?"
II wasn't in fear of Schultz,
no." answered the witness.
Davis frankly admitted his con.
science didn't bother him on the
occasions he committed perjury.
II was protecting lot of
people," said Davis, explaining
why he lied before the grand
jury.

DOVER BASE BALL
TEAM GETS MANAGER

Ray Burbaker, who recently has
seen service with Pacific Coast Lea
que teams, has been named manager
of the Dover Orioles of the Eastern
Shore Base Ball League for 1889, ac-
cording to an announcement made in
Dover by Harry ODonnell, business
manager of the Orioles.
The new Dover pilot has had wide
experience as manager and coach and
his playing days as an infielder were
served mostly with clubs in the Amer
lean Association. He was with the
Pittsburgh Pirates twice in the Ma
tional League.
Burbaker will serve as bench man
ager in Dover and will also be used
to aid in the development of young
players. He plans to leave his home
on the coast in time to arrive in the
East to go to Florida with the Balti-
more Orioles, owners of the Dover
Club.
Several of the Dover players will
also be at the training camp with
Burbaker. O'Donnell said the out
look for another fast club at Dover
is bright.

tion.
 Reader cities a magazine article ill which the writer Ca physician tells how prevalent stomach and intes- tinal ulcers are in southern India and says the condition is even worse in adjacent Travancore, where the natives consume large quantities of pure starch as found in their tap ioca root. From this the reader, indeed almost any unsophisticated reader, would infer that starch in the diet tends to cause stomach or intestinal ulcers. This inference is as wrong as the familiar inference that sugar, candy and other sweets in the diet tend to cause decay of the teeth.
 The actual reason why too much starch or too much sugar in the diet leads to various conditions of nutritional deficiency is because in dividuals subsisting on such food get insufficient vitamins in their food to maintain normal meta bolism or good nutrition, particu- larly insufficient vitamins B and G (which naturally occur together in whole grains and in vegetables) and insufficient vitamin D, the so- called sunshine vitamin (which is found in adequate amount in only few foods, namely, egg yolk, butter, cream, whole fresh milk, oysters and certain sea f1sheS).
 Now have no complaint about the combination of ice cream and cake at any time, if you will eat the cake and let me have all the ice cream. But after all, both are carbohydrate mainly (starch and sugar., and the fundamental trou- ble with millions of overfed Ameri- cans is just that-too large pro- portion of refined carbohydrate in the everyday diet and consequently too little vitamins and minerals in the national menu. The minerals lacking in the everyday American diet are chiefly calcium, phosphorus and iron.
 It is a senseless custom, turning back and consuming 8 large gob of ice cream or wedge of cake or a slab of pie as dessert immediately after a square meal. Not that dce cream, cake or pie is not excellent food, especially for young persons and honest working people and ath- letes and whoever plays hard or gets plenty of exercise daily. In- deer an ample proportion of car- bohydrate (sugar or starch) is in- dispensible in everybody's daily ration. It is the fuel food, the

 Must Understand Noise
 We are told to keep all babies very quiet, which is sensible as far as it goes, but how far does it go? Isn't there such thing as condi- tioning the infant to a vacuum of sound so that any disturbance makes him jumpy?
 Mothers have heard about a baby being terrified of new toy, because the instant he touched it someone suddenly turned on the loud speaker with an ear-splitting roar. Associating touch and sound, baby was ever after afraid of his pink Teddy bear, or even anything pink, or anything plushy. The secret here lies in the mystery" of the shock, the terror of the unexplain- able. But that need not necessarily ban good hearty sound. All our lit- tie pitcher asks is to know what makes the noise, and why. No shocks, you see.
 Noise Is Normal
 Parents are prone to over-dis- cipline the young brother who makes noise. Of course baby does have to sleep in comparative peace. But brother is not being naughty, just because he forgets. Many child has learned to consider the baby nuisance, because he has to tip-toe and whisper every second he's in the house. He'll be kinder to his tiny kin if he isn't being ever-lastingly shushed.
 Something is wrong in the too silent house with its too-silent lit tie children. That something is the lack of our hearty friend, sound. Its perpetual suppression is likely to cause irritationS and throw a pail over normal everyday living for the whole family. Baby does not ask it, SO why make 1t an edict? The fam- fly should think of baby as a joy. He would rather they did.
