PAGE TWO Higher-ups Take Spotli GRAFT AND VICE NOT SOUGHT AS DRIVE GOES ON Beer Runners Bring Police Of- ficials Into Advanced In- vestigation INDICTMENTS TOTAL 150) Liquor Trade, Crime and Pol-| itics May Become Involved in Election Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 30.—The “Quaker City Scandals,” conceded by critics to be the greatest legal show on earth, are in the ‘steenth week of a record-breaking run at the | historic Philadelphia city hall. ' The audience is small, for there| are only fourteen persons on a grand! jury. ‘Nor are they a very appre- ciative; lot, as they struggle to fol low the maze of plots and counte plots in an incredible story of of cial corruption and underworld racketeering. Day after day, mem- bers of the ever-changing cast play unconvincing roles of innocence and are pelted with true bills and indict- ments. K End Not in Sight District Attorney John Mona- ghan, who is managing the “Sdan- dals” and himself takes the part of interlocutor, says the end of the show isn’t even in sight. The pro- logue to the grand jury probe, which opened in August, gave a glimpse into an underworld — government maintained by three efficient and powerful organizations—the liquor, gambling, and vice interests. a e put that aside, tem- porarily,” said Monaghan, “while we sift the graft in the police de- partment and try to reach the high- er-ups in the system. “This thing is growing like a spider web. 1 question a saloonkeeper and find a beer runner. His testimony involves patrolmen; theirs, a police cap- tain and lieutenants. The cap- tains drag in the names of ward politicians. “I don’t know how far it will go, but it will go all the way before we quit!” Bank Records Helpful Two and a half million dollars of graft money now is estimated to have found its way into the pockets of policemen and politicians annually, All this supposedly paid as protection against official inter- ference in bootlegging, vice and gambling industries. a Bank and brokerage -ecords seized on subpoenas by Monaghan show ~ that nine members of the police force had nearly a million dollars in bonds and cash, this acquired since last March. At that time the city administration reestablished a once discarded system in which the polit- ical ward lines and police precinct boundaries coincided. Political ward leaders selected their own precinct police captains. Nearly “9 indictments, on 1176 counts, so far have been returned by the grand jury against policemen and civili Matthew Patterson, indicted a police captain on 27% counts, w: . a member of the Re- publican city committee, organiza- tion leader of the nineteenth ward, and a member of the state legisla- ture. * City-Wide Shakeup : The greatest police shake-up in the history of the city has been put) into effect. Not a single man of the 4,700 police is working now in familiar territory. Superimtendent of Police William B. Mills has “Yer drivin’ a right smart clip, today, Ed.” “I've got a letter that came by one to hold up progress.” man, who was suspended as a detec- tive captain after it was disclosed he had big bank balances. Charges were filed against him by Monaghan, and the Civil Service Commission started an inquiry to de- termine whether he should be per- manently discharged from the police force. in the midst of the inquiry, Beckman sought to resign. The res- ignation was not accepted. The Civil Service Commission’s findings have not yet been disclosed. Talk of Politics There is, of course, lots of talk in Philadelphia of political ramifica- tions of the racketeering probe. Much of this has to do with alleged political rivalry betwee 1 District At- torney Monaghan and Mayor Mackey. Only time can tell any ae about this phase of the scan- als.” Without doubt the investigation has had or will have its political repercussions. Philadelphia always has been noted for “organization” Politics. The fact that Bill Vare, famed Philadelphia “boss,” has been incapacitated in Atlantic City throughout the excitement adds to the uncertainty regarding the situa- tion’s political aspects. Edwin 0, Lewis, judge of com- mon pleas court, who ordered Mona- ghan’s special grand jury inquiry, is an interesting tigure. “All this rottenness that has been exposed is exactly what leads to gang murders,” said Lewis. “If there were no “police payroll” there would be no gangsters. The police could clean up the gangsters and gunmen in a single night if it wasn’t tor bootleg money.” BITTER COURT BATTLE PENDS FROM HEARING (Continued trom page one) paperman that he was drunk when the shooting occurred.

Sete Bahm, Almont, came to work for the Potters Friday night. She was to fo to school and do house- work ‘in her spare time. She testi- fied to a number of people having been at the Potter home during the 10 evening and that the men were planning to go hunting. Later, she said, she awoke and Mrs. Potter came into the room and stooped over her bed.

Aft- er a short interval, Henry and Mrs. otter took Webb to the local hos- ee Thal end Rigler had lifted ebb into the automobile. Webb declared to attending Phy. sicians, Policeman Franklin, and his father that the wound was the result of a hunting accident. There were no powder burns on his hunting jacket. “Dad, you’ve been a good Dad to me. Better tran I’ve deserved. I’m ing to join mother now,” were Webb's words to‘his father before he died. Called to 623 Eighth street by an unknown man, William Franklin, policeman, knocked at the front door of the Potter residence three or four times before he got a response. Pot- ter then opened the door to admit him. This was about 11:55. Potter was in his shirt sleeves. Frankiin believed that Potter had been drink- ing, but he walked straight and talked soberly. Informed that Pot- ter had not put in the call, Franklin asked to use the telephone, which was about half way upstairs. Potter said, “It’s right there.” Franklin then questioned the opera- tor as to who put in the call. He learned that the call came from number 744, He called Harold Grif- fith, who lives in the apartment be- low the apartment having number 744. Griffith asked him to come down to see him. As Franklin left the house, Mrs, Potter and Henry returned to the Potter residence in ‘ebb’s automobile. Mrs. Potter went into the house immediately, but Franklin questioned Henry, who was barefoot and without a shirt. Henry told him that Webb had been taken to the hospital after a hunting acci- dent. Saying that it was too cold to “talk outside,” Henry went in the house and Franklin went to the hos- pital. Shotgun Is Found Martineson, Finley Baker, and Franklin réturned to the Potter home between 2‘and 3 o'clock. In one of the two upstairs rooms, the one occupied by the Potter boys, they found the 12-gauge Winchester ae which Susie Bahm recog- nized as the one put under her bed. An empty shell remained in the gun. The men also found a metal shell box, a lunch apparently ready to be take. on a hunting trip, hip impression that Potter had been drinking, although he talked well enough during their brief conversa- tion, Witnesses Testify Testimony of the 18 witnesses called indicated that the events of the evening were approximately as follows: Mrs. Potter had dinner Saturday evening with her son, Henry. About quarter of eight, Michael Bartley and Oliver Webb arrived at the Pot. ter home, followed five minutes lat- er by Ray Potter. In a short while Mr. and Mrs, Donald Snyder dropped in at the Potter home, Mrs. Snyder was. cager to get some shoe strings down town and Mrs. Potter was planning to go to the second show. Shortly before 9 o'clock Webb, in his own automobile, took Mrs. Snyder and Mrs, Potter down town to the postoffice where he parked his car and crossed the street himself to get the laces. Mrs. Potter purchased some meat and groceries, Webb returned to the Potter home about 9 o'clock, and ate alight lunch with Ray Potter. Michael Bartley, who did not eat with them, carried on a conversation with them and agreed to go on the proposed hunting trip as cook. Listened to Radio At about 10 o'clock Webb and Bartley went to the Bartley resi- dence, 1022 Avenue B, where they listened to the radio until about 11 0 k. Mrs, Bartley, wko had been visiting with neighbors, returned home about 11 and Webb left im- mediately, Bartley shortly after called a ho- tel in an effort to talk to Webb about the time the hunting trip was to start, but failing, called the Potter | residence about 11:30 p. m., hoping to find Webb there. Bartley asked Potter, who an- swered the telephone, what time they were going hunting. This about 11:30. Potter said that every- body had become “stewed” and the hunting party had been called off. Webb was not at the residence. Mrs. Potter, went to the apart- ment of Mrs. Delia Krueger, her sister, at 206 1-2 Fourth street, about 9:45 o'clock, Mrs. Krueger tes- tified. Mrs, Potter had planned to go to the show with her sister, but had evidently arrived too late, going im- mediately to the apartment. Mrs. Snyder also came to the apartment ly, Mr. Potter arrived shortly be- fore 10:30, talked for about five or minute: left with Mra. Put- ter at 10:30, Where Was Webb? No testimony was pregented to show where Webb was between 11 and 11:15, the period between the time he left the Bartley residence and appeared at Mrs, Krueger's apartment; Mrs. Potter, returned to her sis- ter’s apartment with Oliver Webb [about 11:15 telling her sister that jshe had forgotten something.

SHIP REPORTED 620 MILES OFF CANADIAN CAPE (Continued from page one) winds, the homeward-bound German air liner Graf Zeppelin today was swinging over the midatlantic some- where along the northern steamship ites. Although the huge ship apparently been forced to abandon a di- rectly eastern course toward central Europe in favor of a more northerly ene which would carry her on the normal steamship lane from Cape Race, Newfoundland, to Fastnet, in southern Ireland, there was every indication that the passage was be- ing made much faster than the trip to the United States, which took 111 hours and 38 mniutes. In fact, favoring tail winds seemed to be driving the great ship along at a fast clip, so that part of the time she was averaging 70 miles an hour and sometimes, German experts estimated, 100 miles an hour. Every hope existed that the return voyage would be made in between 70 and 80 hours and that the Graf Zeppelin would reach Friedrichshafen, her home port, some time tomorrow afternoon. At 9 o'clock this morning, eastern standard time, the dirigible had been out of Lakehurst, N.

Senator Curtis, the Republi presidential candidate, wi n_ his way into Wisconsin today, where some Republican leaders again a revolting against the national ticket. The nomineeis to dese tonight in Eau Claire, ‘his final appearance in this old-time Republican state which gave its vote four years ago to its native son, Senator La Follette. This year another of its senators, Blaine, is advocating the election of Governor Smith. Over a nation-wide radio hookup last night at South Bend, Ind., Sen- ator Curtis questioned the sincerity of the Democratic presidential nom- inee on the tariff. Curtis insisted that “whereas Smith now intimates he is for our protective tariff, a few years ago he described this tariff as a cold- blooded holdup of the American peo- ple.” Republican candidates of In- diana joined Cur in the Indiana rally. This is the second trip of the vice presidential nominee into the north- west and his agrarian homeland. He will conclude this tour at home in Topeka, Kan., where he plans to cast his vote next Tuesday.. Tomor- row he is to speak at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. some 3,000 miles. Radio advices from ships to London stated that it was very rough in the eastern Atlantic. The wind reached a gale force of about 100 miles an hour off the French and Irish coasts. The airship carried 62 persons, in- cluding a stowaway discovered when she was putting out to sea. There were a crew of .37, three United States naval officers travel- ing as observers, 11 passengers making their first transatlantic 1| flight, and 10 other passengers com- pleting a journey from Friedrichs- hafen to Lakehurst and return. One of the new passengers was a woman, Mrs. Clare Adams of Tanners- ville, Pa. The stowaway, Clarence Terhune, 19-year-old caddy of the Rye Coun- try club, eluded hundreds of eyes, watchful for just such an attempt, and gained the distinction of being the first person to steal a ride on a transatlantic flight.

The two leading southern hemisphere wheat producing countries were un- officially credited with a probable minimum yield _-of 000,000 bushels actually shipped so far this season. In addition, Kansas winter wheat seedi.ig was reported today as practically completed, with recent rains just what was required for the crop.

As soon as the town fathers learned that the Graf Zeppelin had left Lakehurst, N. J., they decreed the erection of a rostrum on the air. drome, There Dr. Hugo _ Eckener, builder and commander of the air- hip, and his chiefs of staff will be welcomed on their arrival. At night an enormous torchlight parade will be held in honor of the new con- querors of the Atlantic. Dr. Ludwig Duerr, chief construc- tor of the airship, was informed that Dr. Eckener could count on favor- able winds for the major portion of his flight. This would materially speed up the air liner and make pos- sible her arrival here by Wednesday afternoon. Aboard the air liner is a bale of cotton destined for Bremen and this is considered to be of it import- ance as representing the first com- modity of commercial importance to Payers the Atlantic by the air route, STOWAWAY REVEALED AS REAL GATE-CRASHER New York, Oct. 30.—(AP)—The Graf Zeppelin’s stowaway, a 19- year-old St. Louis boy who looks youners. than his age, has been “ey ing gates” the last two years from New York to Nome.

Comparative steadiness of Liver- pool wheat quotations today on the other hand helped to induce some strength at times in wheat at Chi- cago, especially after downturns. In’ various quarters the action of the Liverpool market was ascribed to buying orders from America, but it was also poifited out that Liverpool stocks of wheat are decreasing. An- other steadying influence was talk from some trade leaders that it is advisable to treat the wheat market now as a trading affair until after election.

Prices rallied at the opening, turned reactionary before midday when heavy selling developed in some of the recent favorites, and then pointed upward again in the early afternoon. Extensive readjust- ment of speculative accounts ac- counted for the mixed price move- ments, with commission house sell- ing rather heavy on fears of a pre- election reaction. Call money renewed at 732 per cent, and was in fairly plentiful sup- By despite the calling of about 15,000,000 in bank loans. Heavy month-end requirements, including the distribution of about $300,000,000 in interest and dividend payments, is expected to keep rates fairly high for the remainder of the week, but an earier undertone is looked for next week. Fresh imports of gold and a reduction of % of 1 per cent on 180-day bankers’ acceptances were regarded as bullish on the monetary outlook. In an effort to maintain bullish enthusiasm pools were bringing for- ward a number of recently neglected issues, including the railroad equip- ments. International Nickel was an outstanding strong spot all day, soaring more than 8 points on buy- ing presumably influenced by the recapitalization plan. Kolster Radio was taken in large blocks at ad- vancing prices. Some selling developed in the rubber shares as a result of the reported cut in tire prices, Goodyear falling back more than 3 points. Kelly-Springfield was active and strong on reports that powerful automobile interests had acquired a large block of the stock. Ahitibi Power sank 4 points to a new 1928 low at 37, and rather sub- stantial losses were recorded by Vic- tor Talking Maghine, Wright Aero- nautical, Texas Pacific, American Machine and Foundry, De Pont American International, Murray, Simmons Corporation, and Motor Products.
