Mr. Colladay assured the committee that he is not an insurance man, never represented an_insurance com- pany, does not own $1 worth of stock in an insurance company and as pres- ident of the Washington Koard of Trade works for nothing a year, He said he believes that several thousand men in the insurance busi ness are entitled to some considera- tion. Their occupation ought not to be wiped out lightly. “If you wipe out one group, then you will go on and on until finally you include the whole business in the government, and we will, of corse, oppose that,” hd said. Mr. Colladay called attention to one paragraph in the Fitzgerald bill which he thought was better drawn than the corresponding provision in the Underhill bill. That covered in- vestigation of accidents and making provisions for the issuance of safety regulation. He urged that that sec- tion bo incorporated in the Under- hill bill and Representative Under- hill said he would be glad to accept jany suggestion that would improve that section. Mr. Colladay explained his policy in the organization of committees, saying that he generally gave minor- ity representation to persons directly interested in the subject, and that the majority was made up of persons not directly interested. The insurance committee which drafted the report, ne sald, had as it chairman David M. Lea, an insurance man, but that the insurnce men on the committee were in the minority. OATH OF ATTORNEY UPHELD BY COURT Presence of Winston in 0ld Hick- ory Fraud Case Declared Authorized. Justice Hitz of the District Supreme Court has decided in favor of the con tention of the government in rela- tion to the presence in the grand jury room of John G. Winston, special as- sistant to Attorney General Daugher- ty, during the presentation of evi- dence in the Old Hickory fraud case. As the jury summoned to try the question of fact on a plea in abate- ment raised by Attorney Frank J. Hogan on behalf of Ernest C. Morse, former director of sales of the War Department, and E. M. Davis of New York, who bought the Old Hickory plant at Jacksonville, Tenn., had been excused until tomorrow, the decision of the court will be made’ then. Mr. Hogan contended that Mr. ‘Winston had failed to take a sepa- rate oath after being directed to rep- resent the department .in the Old Hickory case and his presence In the grand jury room was unauthorized and invalidated the indictment. Counsel for the government malin. tained that as Mr. Winston had taken an oath of office as special assistant prior to that time and had not in the interval resigned or been removed the binding_ obligation of the oath was in force and no new oath was required, Justice Hitz adopted this view. 3 e Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, February 12—For a long time it has been a standing joke | here that the bootleggers of New | York move in the very best circles; that they have access to some of the most exclusive apartments and homes. The New York police are no longer disposed to take this situation as a Joke. They have come to that many of the far graver crimes | than the illegal sale of liquor can | be traced directly to the doors of {these selfsame bootleggers and their allies in outlawry. Diamond thieves and murderers recently have moved in such a di- rect manner upon their prey the de- tectives have known they must have been fully informed in advance of | all the necessary and essential de- ! tails as to the possessions and move- | iments of their victims. i New Type Criminal. The police have known that they have a new type of criminal to deal with—the tipster or the spotter, the ! man so placed that he can get infor- | mation upon which the real criminals | may act. Bootleggers, according to the au- thoritles, have the best of means of spotting a victim for a hold-up or for a murder, if necessary. Therefore, the police have turned to | the bootleggers for a solution of the murder of Louise Lawson. Many boot- {leggers called at the Lawson girl' iapartment. They were sent there by her admirers, sent there with cham- pagne and the finest of liquors. The igirl did not know at what time the “expressmen with a package’ might call, and, consequently, it was easy for the robbers and murderers to gain agmittance to her apartment on (his | pretext. ! Liquor Found in Apartment. H Considerable champagne and un-! opened cases of sky were found in the apartment when’ the report of the murder brought the police to the place. N 1 Bootleggers knew the life the girl! was leading; they knew exactly how to reach her apartment, knew thej luxury with which she was surround- ed and the costly jewels she wore, It ‘was easy for the whisky men to put their brothers in crime ‘onto the job,” and this the police believe is the modern criminal method. Every girl in Manhattan who leads a “patron- ized” life has had dealings at one time or another with bootleggers. Often they speak of the “trust- worthiness” of their own particular purveyor of illegal beverages and recommend him to others of their acquaintance, The head bootlegger, however, seldom, if ever, delivers the goods. He hires some pretty tough customers to attend to that end of the game, and the latter have the same welcome and the same entree |fo homes and apartments as their chief, who is supposed to be more or less responsible. New York police as a rule are not great moralists, but they are issuing teday a warning to all citizens that it they openly admit one class of known criminals to their homes they may expect other and still more sin- ister visits from the denizens ot the underworld.
