GANGS AGAIN MENACE N.Y: POLICE LAXITY NOW BLAMED FOR TWO GUNMEN KILLINGS In Murders of “Tanner” Smith and “Johnny Spanish” Can Be Dis- cerned a Recrudescence of Bandit Conditions When Life and Prop- erty Were Unsafe. Gangs That Terrorized New York In Old Days, Making Life Unsafe THE EAST. SIDE. “Biroccos,” led by Jack Sirocco, in the Bowery and Chinatown; long the enemies of the “Dopey Bennys.” The Siroccos absorbed the Chick Trickas and the Jimmy Kelly Gangs. The “Dopey Bennys,” led by Benjamin Fein, controlled the district east of the Bowery, and attached to them were “Joe the Greaser’s Gang,” an offspring of the “Big and Little Doggies” and smalter organizations, such as those led at various times by “Big Jack” Ze! Twist and “Louis the Lump.” “Cyclone” Lewis, “Kid” The “Gas House” Gang, led by “Humpty” Jackson, controlled the east side in First Avenue and Avenue A between 18th Street and 27th Street. “The Terry Rileys” spread terror from 38th Street to 424 Street, divid- tng the spoils with Italian banditt!. THE WEST SIDE. ; The “Hudson Dusters” operated north of Canal Street to 14th Street. The “Tanner Smiths,” later the “Marginal Gang,” led by Thomas (Tanner) Smith, overlapped the Hudson Dusters south of 14th Street and ‘also the Ownie Maddens to the north. ‘The “Ownle Maddens,” led by Owen Madden, claimed all territory from 24th Street to 38th, especially along 7th, 8th and 9th Avenues. The “Jimmy Moore” Gang, led by James Moore, operated from 37th be 424 Street, 7th and 9th Avenues being their eastern,and western borders, The “One-Arm Block” Gang controlled the district between Amsterd&’m ‘@venue and West End Avenue, in 66th and 67th Streets, The “Canary Gang” operated north of the boundary of the “One-Arm Biock” gangsters. Warning to the City’ of New York qfhat the gang menace is already here and spreading, comes from the office of the District Attorney to-day. Death feuds growing out of graft ‘grudges are imminent. The killings by gangsters have already startled the city, that of Thomas “Tanner” Gmith in the Marginal Club, No. 129 Bighth Avenue, and John Weill alias “John Spanish” in Second Ave- nue, near First Street, within the week. Both had been living clean,” according to their friends. “Gangs are forming in all sections of the city,” said Assistant District Attorney John F. Joyce, who assisted in preparing the cases growing out of the confession of “Dopey Benn: Fein, leader of the “Dopey Bennys” im 1915 and who is assigned to prose- oute nearly all crimes dealing with gang rule in Manhattan. “There are new members and new leaders. The youth of eighteen and nineteen is largely responsible for the “gang depredations to-day, The older organizations have been successfully dispersed, but the youngsters who have missed the leadership of gun- “men who have been serving in the war or working in war material plants are organizing small bands of desperadoes. “That handicaps the police, hecause the youngster hasn't a criminal rec- ord until he's caught, and the police {don't know them when they first go bad YOUNGER MEN CHOSEN TO DO SHOOTING, “It is the younger men who are picked as shooters even by thoye who are older and whom the police do know, because of their odds-on chances of getting away. “The gangs of the lower east side, in the district where ‘Johnny Spanish’ was shot, are fighting over the same old grudges—one band gets more casy money than ahother in their strike operations. On the west side the ri- valry begins in river work. A man like ‘Tanner’ Smith could hire whom he pleased in his stevedore business; likewise he could keep out of work marked men, It may be that it was one of the marked men who got him “Up north in the district formerly ruled by Ownle Madden's gang, there is @ comparatively new gang graft— collecting from the taxi drivers, At nearly every stand of importance a collector assesses the drivers a dollar or two a week. The driver is told that the money Js to help some boy serving time, or to help his relatives. A fair percentage of that money really g0ey to these persons, If a driver doesn’t give up he gets a beat- ing and he finds the collector and his pals wo bold that they will even divert fares after the cab door is open and waiting. The fares are bluntly ‘told not to use the cab, and the driver told tomove on, Another taxi follows and gety the business, YOUNG CROOKS MARRY TO US WIVES AS SHIELDS. “Convictions of boys between the ages of 15 and 20 years are more this year than any year in the fast three, Strangely enough, there is also a remarkable incfease in marriages among boys of 17 to 19 years old. Then these young crooks try to use the wife and the home as an alibi. Cm abways us Of that, Some oe edaik ¥ hast aii of them are so bold that after a stick- up they will split the loot in front of their wives and mothers, “Many a one brought in here after | @ stick-up declares that he has never used a gun, They hope to get away by putting fear into the victim when they order him to throw up his hands. Usually that succeeds, but occasion- ally these youngsters get nervous and @ shot is firéd. Sometimes that makes a killer of a boy. “One fact stands out prominent— the gangs are back in New York City, new gangs with new leaders.” The links in the chain of gangs to- day does not run as consecutively as they did formerly. Before 1915, when “Dopey Benny” Fein told the Dis- trict Attorney's office of thirty-odd crimes and who committed them and when “Ownle” Madden was sent away in the same year (his trial re- vealing the machinations of the west side gangs, as did Fein's confessions reveai the sinister menace in the lower east side), gangs sprang up like Sprouts of vegetation, néw leaders rising when the old leaders were put away or were Killed or died naturally, Stringent police methods, the use of night sticks and the organization of the famous “Massage Squad” of cops swept fear into the hearts of the gun-| men during the Mitchel Administra- tion, Now those who watch the mude- ments of the underworld down in Sec- ond Avenue are fearful that an ap- parent lack of police vigilance is mak- | ing bold the younger leaders. | ‘Then, too, the war cleaned up the| gangs. Not only did the draft send into the army the material out of | which gunmen were made but the ‘work or fight” law, alded by the lure of high wages, sent hundreds of | others--those convicted of felonies and therefore unavailable to the army—into the war material plants.

The action of @ jury in freeing Helen Edwards in Judge Molntyre’ part of the Court of General Ses- sions yesterday directa attention to the record of reversal by higher courts of sentences imposed by City Magistrate Francis X. Mancuso. It ‘was this Magistrate who on March 4 found Helen Edwards guilty of dis~ orderly conduct on the unsupported testimony of Detectives William D. | Walsh and Thomas \J, Brady. | In {suing an order cléaring the good name of Miss Edwards, Judge | Molntyre directed that the records of the case be sent to the Grand Jury. The detectives swore they found Miss Edwards in a compromising eit- uation with a men in a house. in ‘West 64th ‘Street. . ‘The jury in Judge MoIntyre’s court deliberated only two minutes before deciding that the charge of the de- tectives was unfounded, The records of the Court of Gen- eral Sessions show that Magistrate Mancuso has been reversed in his judgments by that court seventeen times in the past year. Seven appeals from his decisions are pending before Judges Molntyre and Rosaleky. Magistrate Mancuso, who lives at No, 246 East 115th Street, is consid- ered in political circles to be a protege of Water Commissioner Nicholas J. Hayes, the Tammany leader. When | Mancuso was appointed an Assistant | District Attorney by District At- torney Swann the appointment was credited to Hayes's influence and the same influence was credited when Mayor Hylan made Mancuso a Mag- istrate on May 23, 1918, to serve out! the unexpired term of Magistrate Edward F. Boyle. Magistrate Man- cuso’s term expires June 30, 1920. JERSEY WORTH 3 BILLIONS OF ANYBODY’S MONEY Valuation of Real and Personal Property for 1919 Exceeds That, Tax Reports Show.

According to figures of the State Board of Taxes and A ment, made public in Trenton to-day, the total valuation of all real and per- sonal property subject to taxation at local rates for the year 1919 is $3,032,- 175,984.18. Real estate alone is Valued at $2,463,203,446; person. property, exclusive of bank stock, at $446,817,859.18, On the flat rate of three-fourths of 1 per cent. county boards collected tax of $68,960 on the stock of ban! and trust companies valued at §91,- 464,083. While New York attends rent profiteering meetings, the valuation of ervey real estate showed an increase of only $31,000,000 as compared with a $72,000,000 increase -for 1918 over 1917.
