New York Commissioner
Says He Knew. Disorderly
Houses "Were Open.
NORAIDSWAS MAYOR'S
POLICY SAYS COUNSEL
Xew York N. T Sept '6. The rela-
tionship between mayor Gaynor and
the New York police department: the
mayor's attitude on the city's socaled
vice and excise problems and the ex-
tent to which the department followed
bis public declarations of his attitude
formed the basis of a relentless cross-
examination undergone by police com-
missioner "Waldo today In the trial ot
Cornelius G. Hayes an inspector sus-
pended on charges of making false
statements during an Interview on the
Rosenthal murder reflecting on the
-mmissioner.
Reflect Mayor's Policy.
Thomas Thacher Hayes's cdunsel
thwarted in his efforts to read into the
record the mayor's utterances on the
vice problem finally gained recongni-
tion from the trial commissioner
Douglas McKay by this declaration.
"I am merely trying to prove that
mayor Gaynor's policy was one under
which social evil was recognized as an
unconquerable problem which had to
be endured but that the evil had to
present a front of outward decency;
that In the failure of Inspector Hayes
to raid disorderly houses he was merely
reflecting this policy and that any or-
ders issued to him by police commis-
sioner Waldo were directly In viola-
tion of that policy."
Knew Houses Were Opes.
Mr Thacher was then permitted to
' d with his cross-examination
along the lines he desired.
"You knew didn't you that disor-
derly houses had flourished for six
months In inspector Hayes's district;
that these houses were operating every
day and that they were not being
raided'" asked. Thacher.
Yts I knew it. I know that disor-
derly houses had been flourishing in
tnt district for a year. I presumed
hat Inspector Hayes was making
ct-ry effort he could to close them up."
Demoted Inspector Slakes Denial.
Cornelius G. Hayes the demoted po-
l.cc inspector made a categorical de-
rlzl cf published statements quoting
I'm as saying he would tell on the
witness stand a story that would cause
oomwiss'oner Waldo to resign in 24
hours The statements were said to
have been made by Hayes to district
attorney "Whitman during the secret
conference he held with the prosecutor
last Tuesday evening.
Hayes was summoned to police head-
quarters and ordered officially to
affirm or deny the statement together
w"fh other accusations he was reported
to have made against-the commissioner.
Hayes made a complete -denial.
Although district attorney "Whitman
-recused to discuss his conference with
Hayes it was learned that the prose-
cutor was surprised to hear that Hayes
had repudiated some of the statements
attributed to him.
Louis Llbby. part owner with William
Shapiro of the "murder car" in the
Rosenthal case was called before the
grand Jury which indicted police
lieutenant Becker for the murder of
Rosenthal. He denied having been told
by Shapiro -who the occupants of the
car were and expressed ignorance of
he murder plot.
Claim Alderman Collected Graft.
The ir-vestigation by the commissioner
cf accounts of alleged graft levied on
cwners of rws stands resulted In the
arrest of I" njamin Strauss an elec-
tion district captain on charges of
grand larceny. According to the evi-
dence of a witness at the investigation
Strauss acted the agent of an alderman
'n the collection of graft.

Cook County Officials In

Hammond HI.
SEEK PROSECUTIONS
ON WHITE SLAVE LAW
Chicago. HL Sept 6. Digging for
victims of wholesale murders in West
Hammond IHL 12 of whom are said
by Frances Ford to have taken their
death draught from a "black bottle
kept in a notorious resort may be
decided on as a result of his investi-
gations said coroner Peter Hoffman
of Cook county today. .
The Ford girl whose revelations
have made the most startling features
of the crusade instituted by Miss Vir-
ginia Brooks has not told all she
knows about the West Hammond
dives the coroner believes.
A formal warrant for the arrest of
the young woman was issued today
by the county judge under her real
name which is said to be Mrs. Ethel
Parker.
Meanwhile Miss Brooks arranged
for a conference with Charles F. De-
woody division superintendent of the
federal department of justice regard-
ing conditions in West Hammond. She
Is seeking the cooperation of the fed-
eral government in the prosecution of
the Mann white slave act.
The conference "between superin-
tendent Dewoody and Miss Virginia
Brooks was followed by the announce-
ment that federal orncers would start
to West Hammond later in the day -with
warrants for the arrest of six or more
persons charged with violating the
"Mann act." One of the warrants was
reported to relate to the alleged mur-
der of John Messmaker the case in
which "Frances Ford" is under ar-
rest. POSTMASTERS SHOULD
CATER TO COMMUNITY
First Assistant Postmaster General
Says Sunday Law Was Not En-
acted to Impose Hardship.
Atlantic City N. J Sept. 6. "Post-
masters of the country know the senti-
ment of their respective communities
and should cater to them." declared
Charles P. Granfield first assistant
postmaster general at the annual con-
vention of postmasters today when
asked for an interpretation of the Sun-
day closing law.
"The legislation simply legalizes"
what the postmasters put into effect
during the last year. The law was not
enacted to impose hardship on patrons
but to give the postal employes a day
of rest wherever possible."
In an Interview later Mr. Granfield
said- tha0nc..jsenl. postage for -first
class mail could not be accomplished
until a higher rate was charged for
second class matter which last year he
said entailed a loss of ? 650 00000.
I rate that the law provides for trans-
portation for such matter. They must
reduce their present rates however."
