Supreme Court Justice Mitchell May showed resentment to-day of the bringing of his name into the ex- amination by Samuel Untermyer as Deputy Attorney General of Sol Blickman, kitchenware manufacturer of Brooklyn, as to the truthfulness of his affidavit exonerating former Vice President of the Board of Aldermen William P. Kenneally, Steamfitters’ delegate to the Building Trades Coun- cil, of labor graft after having testi- fied before the Grand Jury that he had paid $3,000 to a man he believed was Kenneally to stop a strike on the Blickman factory building in Long Island City. Blickman explained that he discov- ered his error the day after Ken- neally’s arraignment on the Indict- ment, when he saw that the picture of Kenneally in The World was not like the man to whom he paid the bribe. But he admitted he did not report to the court or the Grand Jury as to the discovery; be mentioned it to his wife and his brother, who told him not to worry, he said, because the published picture was not accurate. A day or two later Moe Kantor, of No. 110 West 14th Street, a distant relative of his wife, came to him and expressed indignation that he should allow a mistaken accusition of an innocent man to stand. Mr, Blickman then said he consulted his attorney, A. I. Nova. Mr. Unter- myer brought out that Mr. Nova is also coun: for John H. MeCooey the Brooklyn Democratic leader, After this he said he went to see Justice May about the matter and Justice May said to him “there would be no harm in making an affidavit for Ken- neal! Mr. Nova accordingly drew up the affidavit and Mr, Blickman swore to it. At this point Martin Conboy, Kenneally’s counsel, had Mr. neally stand in the courtroom. Mr. Blickman, looking jn Mr. Kenneally’s eye, made the flat statement that Mr. Kenneally was not the man who recetved the $3,000 in the office of Robert P. Brindell. Though Mr. Blickman repeatedly asserted that at the time the money was paid to the mai thought was named did not know that a Mr. of Kenneally was an Alderman and a member of Brindell's counsel until months later. But Mr. Untermyer forced an admis- sion from Blickman that he had told a business quaintance, Grand Juror Stone, a few days after the Incident that the $8,000 had been paid “to W. P. Kenneally, Vive President of the Board of Aldermen.” Justice May said to-day the infer- to be drawn from Mr, Blick- testimony was most unfair to him. “Mr, Blickman came to me in some disturbance of mind," he said, “and asked what he ought to do if he had in good faith made a statement under oath seriously harming another man. I did not advise him to ‘recant’ any- thing. I told him if he had wronged another man it was his duty to cor- rect the mistake VETERANS ASK DELAY IN CLOSING FOX HILLS Patients Want Relatives ( Hospital Here So n Visit Them, ne, patients at Vot- il, Fox Hills, S$. 1, fiome 700 veter: ans’ Hospital No, have signed « petition asking that the} order closing that institution on April 1] be held in abeyance until the Govern-| ment has provided « hospital of its own} in New York for their care Most of the men signing the petition, {t 1s said, have relatives in and arouna New York, The bellef is that many of those who suffer from lung affections will be transferred to Government hos- pitale in Arizona, Colorado und North Carolina, where relatives will not have opportunity of visiting them —alippenoaes DOCTOR FOR 62 YEARS, WROTE HIS OWN DEATH CERTIFICATE CARBONDALE, 1, March 11.—Dr. F.

Propaganda was concealed in that last-quoted statement. My conviction became even more firmly rooted before we finally met for an interview. I couldn't see her on the day when I asked for an appointment. Why? Be cause she was going to ut home with her family in Ossining and wouldn't be in New York City ut all, T couldn't see her another day, Why? Because she had to g0 shopping for shoes for her son! However, we compromised by my joining the shopping which is why this interview began in the Vanderlip car at Sixth Ave- nue and 48d Street and ended ut Fifth Avenue and 60th Street, “Why are you and the wo voters you lead opposed to po! ical machines?"

I questioned, ‘And why do you think all women will want to oppose it? Many of them are ardent admirers of Gov, Mill- er and the Republican machine. Others helped the Tammany ma- chine to elect Hylan." ‘All women will not fight the machine,"’ Mrs. Vanderlip admit- ted. ‘But—we have the League of Women Voters. Its numbers are growing all the time. In the league we are establishing a large, calm body of voters who will take middle ground, who will not be the bidding of any politicians, who will judge each measure or man and will not be bound by party— right or wron: “Don't think.’ she cautioned, quickly, “that [am against par- tes, I believe in them, in so as they mean big groups taking opposite sides and fighting out a question on its merits. That's the. only way in which the people can decide anything. It is the party machine and its dictation, its un- willingness to allow citizens to use their own intelligence to which I object.’ ‘Then she expressed the hope of the enlightened woman voter which I quoted at the be- ginning “Do you really think that hope will be realized?’ [ asked. ‘Do you think the machines ever will go?” “I think they've begun to go already,"’ answered Mrs. Vander- lp, with a hopeful smile. “Take these maternity bills.

Johnston's Interest Guaranteed Under Lease With Manhattan Co. Plans are under way, it was learned in traction circles to-day, for the dis- integration of the subway and the ele- vated lines in Manhattan and the Bronx, due. it is said, to the desire of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company to abrogate its ninety-nine year lease with the Manhattan Ele- vated Company. This desire is based on the fact that the L lines are a drain on the Inter- borough's treasury through the guar- anteed annual payment of $4,200,009 in interest on Manhattan Elevated stock, $1,600,000 In interest on $40,- 000,000 bonds and $1,800,000 in taxes The elevated lines have not earned sufficient to warrant any further pay- ments out of the Interborough treas- ury, it is said, The T.

FOR WOMAN WHO SHOT RUM RAIDER Magistrate Tries to ‘Prevent Bail by Prohibitive Bond in Bootleg Case. (4 * Seeking the hiding plade of the store of whiskey believed to have been accumulated by Jerry Roberto, known as “Jerry the Wolf, and Jimmy Grasso, who were shot and killed Feb. 23 In a battle near the bootlegger’ curb market at Kenmare and Oliver Streets, Detective Vance L. Laven, der and Detective Herman Guran met with a revolver attack when they ¢a- tered No, 18 Chariton Street. Laven- der was shot through the shoulder, A large quantity of full strength whiskey was found in the house and a lot more which had apparently been diluted for retail sale, Mrs, Molly Porcelli was arrested, charged with shooting Lavender, and Mrs. Marie Palermo, her sister, and Fred Celana a chauffeur, were charged with being her accomplices. Mrs. Porcelli was held in $27,0e bail by Magistrate Harris in Jeffem son Market Court and Mrs. Pat mero and Celano in $26,000 each. The Magistrate said he regarded $25,000 ag prohibitive bail on the charge of fee lonious assault on the policeman; $1,000 was for violation of the Mullan- Gage act and the additional $1,000 for Mra. Porcelli was on the chai or having a revolver. ‘The detectives sald that when Mra. Palermo admitted them at the base- ment door, after they had said they had come to see “Eddie,” which they were told was the password, they then showed their badges and pushed paast her up the stairs. She shouted to some one above to shoot. The detectives declared Mrs, Por- cell, who is young and good looking, appeared on the landing and began shooting, as did one of the men. The detectives thought they wounded this man before Lavender was struck by a bullet. The women and one of the men then barricaded themselves in a room and were not taken prisoner until Guran went out and telephoned for the reserves. Both women said they believed the detectives were gunmen enlisted in the bootlesgers’ war which had cost the lives of the Wolf and Grasso. Mrs. Palmero denied she called on her sister, Molly, to shoot, but Mrs Porcelll admitt she and her com- paniona felt justiffed in ‘protecting’ themselves: ‘The women sald they rented rooms to lodgers and that the whiskey which was found in almost every, room was the property in each case of the oc- cupant.
