LIPTON’S ALL THE PROBERS ACTING TOGETHER IN RUNT FOR GRAFT | Attorney for Citizens’ Com- mittee Will Co-operate With Whitman and Aldermen. —_—— Active co-operation with District-At- torney Whitman and the Grand Jury,| the Curran Aldermanic Committee and even Mayor Gaynor—should the latter decide to institute his own investiga- tion into city affairs—was promised to- day by Attorney Joseph P. Cotton Jr., who accepted the position of counsel for the Citizens’ Committee, appointed at the Cooper Union mass meeting. Mr, Cotton is the law partner of former United States Senator John C. Spooner, with offices at No. 14 Wall street. “The Citizens’ Committee,” sald Mr. Cotton, “Is prepared to co-operate with any committee or board that 1s looking} toward a betterment of conditions New York City. As I understand it, if} we can learn facts that are criminal in| their nature they will be sent to Dis- trict-Attorney Whitman for Grand Jury} action. "E am acquainted with Mr. Buckner, the attorney for'the Curran Aldermanic Committee, and know him to be @ most excellent investigator and lawyer. Such Information as comes into my hands will be turned over to Mr. Buckner for his consideration.” Mr. Cotton declined to discuss the methods by which the Citizens’ Coin- mittee proposed to carry on its inves tigation, or even to admit that he had! recelved any of the number of lett that have been forwarded to the varl-| ous members of the committee outlin- Ing alleged police and official corrup- ton. WANTS TO MAKE AGREEMENT WITH COMMITTEE. William MeMurtrie Speer, appointed by Corporation Counsel Watson to be counsel for the Curran Committee, despite the fact that the Committee itself has named Buckner for that po- sition, returned to New York this after- noon from Ulster County for consulta- tion with his chief. It 1s probable that Mr. Speer will be asked by the Cor- poration Counsel immediately to take up the task of investigating police gratt and later to lay all the information he has secured before the members of tho Aldermanic Committee. It was said in the office of the Corporation Counsel to-day that efforts would be made to secure an equitable working agreement between the Committee and Mr. Speer in an effort to avert « clash that migat handicap the Committee in its work. Commissioner of Accounts Fosdick, who already has given District-Attorney Whitman the mass of evidence collected by his investigators, 1s preparing @ similar document for the Curran Com- mittee and will work with mittee. It 1s sald Mr. Fosdick’s offer to furnish this evidence to Attorney Buck- ner was made without consultation with Mayor Gaynor, ‘The evidence secured by Mr. Fosdick at the instigation of Mr, Mitchel deals with conditions in all parts of the city. is believed that It will be of material sistance to the committee, SPEER 8AYS HE WISHES T9 CO-OPERATE. Mr, Speer called at the office of Chatr- man H. H. Curran of the Investigating Committee. Ho told Curran he ‘n- intended making @ statement to the! newspapers in which he would say that he desired and would extend hearty co-opération. “There {s absolutely no change in the attitude of our committee with respect to its counsel,” said Alderman Curran afterward. “Mr. Buckner and he will be permitted to conduct the legul examination of witnesses and no une else will be permitted to cross-examine witnesses. That is settled.’ It ls known that Corporation Counsel Watson and Mr, Speer will oppose any effort made by Mr, Buckner or the committee to prevent the ful! examination of witnesses by poration Counsel or his assistant. If Mr. Buckner and the committee refuse to yield any part of the examination of witnesses to the Corporation Counsel a clash, which may bring the matter into the courts for adjudication, may follow.

Sam Schepps the Rosenthal cage in- former, gave another exhibition of chilled steel nerve to-day, when he sen‘ his lawyer, Bernard HM, Sandler, to the District-Attorney with a demand for hotel accommodations, The delicate Schepps does not like his quarters in West Side prison. He wants to be lodged, at the expense of New York County, in a Broadway hotel. The Knickerbocker or the Astor would suit him. Or, if the District- Attorney ts agreeable, he might be satis- fled on Fifth avenue at the Waldorf, or on Park avenue at the Vanderbilt, Schepps is peeved because the prison keepers won't let him have a collap- sible bawth tub, a rug, a table and a chair with a back on It in his cell. He has been allowed a silk quilt and specta! nen pollow cases, but he must have said Mr. Sandler at the Criminal Courts Building to-day—and he appeared to be serious—“is entitled to the luxuries te which he has been ac- customed. He !s the most important witness Mr. Whitman has. “He is not a prisoner. He should aot be confined in a jail, It ts only justice that he should be made comfortable, Schepps !s better off than Rose, Webbar and Vallon. He has complete immunity from punishment. He went before the Grand Jury as a voluntary witness, “The others, in compliance with the law, were compeled to sign agreements waiving immunity. Sam isn't accused of anything, and when the District- Attorney is through with him he will be free to go where he likes. he ought to be well taken care of.” “How about Schepp's wife, who is making her living as a milliner, and looking in vain for back alimony from her hus- supporting her parents, and hand at the rate of 10 a week?” Sandler was asked, Mr. To this question the lawyer made no reply.
