525,000 IS RAISED
. TO PROBE N. T.
GRAFTSYSTEM
But While Aidermen Spend That
' Much. Crooks Will Put Up
$50,000 to Free Becker.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. —The commit
tee of nine appointed by tlje board of
aidermen to investigate the alleged al
liance between the police and law
breakers began taking steps today to
make a sweeping probe. Special coun
* sei will be retained and $25,000 will be
expended getting at the vital facts in
the situation.
A fund of $50,000 is said to have bej?n
raised for the defense of Police Lieu
tenant Charles A. Becker, under In
dictment for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, if he will remain silent
about the police system and throw no
light upon the exaction of tribute from
the underworld.
There was a conference of Becker's
counsel today preparatory to tlte argu
ments tomorrow before Judge Mul
queen in the court of general sessions
on the motion to dismiss the indict
ments against the accused lieutenant.
Tn the meantime Inspector Hughes,
j , of the central office. Is continuing his
search through the Catskills for “Left
Louie" Rosenweig and Harry Horo
witz. Burns detectives are also search
ing for the two gun men.
Becker May Get Off Easy.
It is persistently reported today that
District Attorney Whitman has made
advances to Becker has promised
him to make a plea for leniency if he
' will tell all he knows about the rela
tions between the police and the crime
• syndicate. Mr. Whitman believes that
men higher up, who have grown rich
through this tribute, can be brought to
justice.
“Bald .lack" Rose and “Brid'gey”
Webber, the two gamblers under arrest
in connection with the Rosenthal as
sassination. charge that a police in
spector smuggled agents into the West
Side prison to intimidate them into
silence.
Differences of opinion which threat
en strife among Becker's lawyers have
* arisen. Although John W. Hart ap-
* peared for Becker, it is reported that
Hart will be supplanted as chief of
counsel either by Congressman .Martin
•, W. Littleton or by John F. Mclntyre.
Former District Attorney Lloyd Stryk
, er and George Whiteside have also
been retained for Becker.
Robert Elder, former assistant dis
trict attorney for Queens county, ap
peared yesterday as Becker’s counsel,
but he now says that he has with
drawn.

Hobbles and. Silk Hose Make Work for Corner Cops'
BIG HATS WORST TRAFFIC BLOCKERS

Women's Overgrown Skypieces
Choke Peachtree Like Hay
Wagon in Country Lane.
"It’s not the motor speeders and the
—hey, get back there—ambulances that
bother —say, I told you to cross over
before you turned—us on the street
corners," said Traffic Cop E. C. Thorn
ton, trying to look five ways at Five
Points, shoo a trio of women off the
crossing and -persuade a negro dray
man to pull his mule’s head out of a
produce wagon just ahead. "It’s the
hobble skirts and the wide hats as
much as anything else."
Now, interviewing a traffic cop on a
corner, like Five Points is worse than
getting an opinion on politics .from a
man who has just turned over a bee
hive. Hut Officer Thornton did his
best Eliminating the parenthetical
remarks addressed to boys on hikes,
chauffeurs in touring cars and pedes
trians in all kinds of shoe leather, from
cowhide to patent, he quoth as follows:
The hobble* -kirt worries us because
it slows up the procession. When a
woman starts across Edgewood avenue
taking eight steps to the yard it’s
naturally some hard for the man be
hind to slow up in time to avoid tread
ing on her heels, and that usually
starts something. And even if she
gets across without argument she sets
the pace for everybody behind, and it’s
some slow.
“Those hats, too—the kind we used
to call merry widows —they're worse
than a hay wagon in a lane. Take
three women abreast in those ten-acre
hats! If a man wants to get past he
takes to the asphalt, and then an auto
mobile butts him in the bread basket.
I've seen two or thrw women wafk half
a block, all stretched out across the
sidewalk, with eight men behind them
dodging from curb to wall apd back
again, trying to get by the blockade.
But the big hats don't draw a crowd of
johnnies to the corner, which is more
than you can say of tight skirts and
silk stockings * "Ok at the row of
rubber-necks there now.
“It isn't the speeders. No! It’s the
slew-goers that bother the traffic cop.
A couple of women in an electric auto
with the juice almost gone puts the
procession twenty minutes late, and
when they stop to tell a passing friend
what they wore to the party last night
it puts all Peachtree on the blink.
’’No, standing on the corner is no
cinch But show me a job that is. Wk
get used to it after a while. Excuse
THE ATLANT A GEORG TAX AND NEWS.TUESDA V. AUGUST 6. 1912.
me. I’ve got to go null that guy out of
a tangle and him on his way.”
