TO PROBE N. E
GOAFT SYSTEM
But While Aldermen Spend That
Much. Crooks Will Put Up
$50,000 to Free Becker.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. —The commit
tee of nine appointed by the 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
sel 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 been
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 tile 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.
In the meantime Inspector Hughes,
of the central office. Is continuing his
search through the CatsKllls for “Left
Louie" Rosenweig and Harry Horo
witz. Burns detectives are also search
ing for the two gun men.

It is persistently reported today that
District Attorney Whitman has made
advances to Recker and 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. Air. Whitman believes that
men higher up, who have grown rich
through this tribute, can be brought to
justice.
“Bald Jack" Rose and “Bridgey”
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

Hart will be supplanted as chief of
counsel either by Congressman Martin
W. Littleton or by John I'". 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

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 ilie 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 lik? Five Points is worse than
getting an opinion on politics from a
man who has just turned over a bee
hive. But Officer Thornton did his
best Eliminating the parenthetical
remarks addressed to bojts on hikes,
chauffeurs in touring ears and pedes
trians in all kinds of shoe leather, from
cowhide to patent, he quoth as follows:
"The bobble skirt 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 site 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 three women walk half
a block, all stretched out across the
sidewalk, with eight men behind them
dodging from curb to wall and back
again, trying to get by the blockade.
Hut 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. Look at the row of
rubber-necks there now,
"It isn't the speeders. No! It’s the
slov.-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 (he blink.
