TAMMANY CROOKS

There was Patrick Commerford,
the head OF a union of housing
engineers. who had ariassed a for
tune by shaking down the en-
ployers OF members of his union.
There was a crooked Tammany
asSemblyman, David Paris, and
several other Tammany leaders.
And then. after Dewey had been
in office for five weeks, President
Roosevelt found a good Democrat
10 replace him. The new man was
Martin j. Conboy, who had been
associated with Roosevelt when
the latter was governor. In the
trial of Mayor Walker of New
York.
Future events are strangely
foreshadowed in a photograph
taken of Cowboys swearing-in
ceremony on Dec. u, 1888. In the
background is Dewey. In the fore
ground, administering the oath. is
Federal Judge Martin T. Manton,
who five years later was TO be
exposed by Dewey as bribe-
taker and dragged from the bench.
Dewey went back 10 private
practice. His retirement from pub
lie office wasn't hard 10 take. AS
chief assistant u. S. attorney he
had received $500 year. In pri-
vate practice his services were in
such demand that his income
zoomed TO $4,000 a year
Moreover, he was able 10 spend
considerably more time with his
wife and his son, Thomas Jr., who
had been born Oct. 2, 1882. Mean
while he was active in the Repu-
blican party and the Bar Asso-
citation.

Dodge, however, disapproved of

threatened 10 disband the grand
jury Unless it accepted a man he

The situation grew tenser and
tenser as protests mounted over

Finally Gov. Lehman interviewed
by submitting to Dodge list Of
four eminent lawyers. with a vir-

them.
None was willing 10 accept. The
four conferred together and united
in a recommendation that Dewey
be appointed.
The press and civic and business
organizations joined in the cry:

Gov Lehman summoned the
four lawyers for parley. They
were firm in their demand for
Dewey. The governor reluctantly
consented. commenting;

Colossal Effort
Destroys Huge
Urine Empire
BY JOHN CREECY
CHAPTER VI

The first big-time racketeer to
suffer the displeasure OF Racket
Buster" Dewey was Waxey Cor
don, an ex-convict who had built
up an immense liquor business
that Melted him 81, 100000 year
Waxey's real name was Irving
Wexler, and ne was one OF the
more fabulous products of the
prohibition era. His importance
was outlined by Dewey in a speech
some years after the prosecution.
Ten years ago Al Capone
was the criminal czar of Chi
cago. Gradually he became
libel-proof and the press printed
the exploits of his mob just rs
they would those OF any other
magnate of big business.
CRIME EMPIRES
Elm the East, the criminal en-
pires Of WaXey Gordon and
Dutch Schultz had reached such
proportions that many news
papers took the risk of exposing
and constantly reporting the ac-
tivities OF their empires. The
conscience OF the community
became 40 aroused that federal
action resulted when local prose-
cution had collapsed"
Waxey's empire was a colossal
one, and it took colossal effort to
overthrow il.
In preparat ION Of the case
Dewey and his assistants inter-
viewed no less than 100000 wit
nesses. followed up an equal num-
Der of phone calls and inspected
mountains OF bank records.
All this took time. and Dewey
Aoften criticized for the delay.
IS always been characteristic
or him, however, that he cannot
be hurried into precipitate action
So well and so thoroughly were
his cases prepared that seldom
was a conviction overthrown on
appeal. When Dewey convicted
'em they usually stayed convicted.
Enlisting the aid OF treasury

2 YEARS EFFORT

After two years Of patient in
vestigation he brought Waxey to
trial on indictments for evasion of
income taxes on several million
dollars. He presented such a case
that the jury needed only 81 min
utes 70 convict Gordon and his
fellow defendants on all counts.
Waxey was fined $4,000 and
sentenced 10 10 years in a peni-
Tertiary.
BY this time Dewey was no
longer an assistant in the l.. S.
attorneys office. Medslie had
resigned 10 re-enter private prac-
tice. President Roosevelt and
Atty. Gen. Cummings had not yet
agreed on his successor so 1t was
up 10 the nine federal judges OF
the district TO fill the post. They
chose Dewey unanimously-de-
spite his youth.
Already he had caught the pub
lie fancy, won the deep respect OF
his fellow lawyers, and sent re-
markable number of interesting
people to Jail.
There was the "A I ic h k e
King" who had made big. and
illegal, money by terrorizing his
fellow artichoke importers and
driving them out of the market.
There were the Policy Kings"
Henry Miro and Wilfred Brunder,
who had made profits of about a
million dollars a year between
them without bothering to pay in
come taxes.

cause of Dodge's failure to launch

THESE DAYS

IN RECENT years, Tammany
l. has lost the ability to reor-
ganize and there are many rea-
sons.
First of all, the character of
the population has changed, and
secondly, the power to do favors
has shifted.
Whereas it used 10 be possible
for Tammany politician to get
a citizen a good job in the SUBJ
way, today all that a man need
do is to join Mike Quilts union.
And If a citizen is out of work,
the federal government has
agencies to look after him.
In a word. the capacity to do
important favors has shifted
from Tamrnany to the unions
and the federal government.
And Tammany has been so
reduced that II sold its famous
hall to one Of the branches of
Dave Dubinsky's union.
WHEN an institution falls on
w evil days, smart men stay
away.
Even so II Is with Tammany.
Therefore, Vito Marcantonio
moves in with the aspiration of
taking IL all over and making II
a segment of his private po-
litical apparatus, which already
includes the American Labor
party and the Communist in
fluence in the Political Action
Committee.
II Marcantonio succeeds In
his maneuvers he will beyond
doubt be the boss Of New York,
probably its next mayor.
And as things stand today,
there Is no reason why he
should not succeed.
He was nominated to Con-
gress in the primaries OF the
Republican, Democratic an d
American Labor parties, run
ming for that office without OPP
position.
He and Adam Clayton Powell
Jr., a Negro minister, control
the district clubs of all parties
in their congressional districts,
largely because Of Marcan-
tonio's ability.
They both ran on tickets at
the head Of which were Roose-
welt and Dewey which is a
marvellous political phenome-
non.
" AS OF today. no political or
ganization exists in New York
to prevent Marcantonio from
reproducing this marvel In
every district in Manhattan and
possibly with the aid Of Mike
Quill, in the Bronx.

organizations in New York and
Bronx counties, which, by an
