THE -MORNING POST, CAMDEN, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1930 to resume Vice Probe Today as Special Prosecutor Returns HARROLD CHARGES AND INSURANCE QUIZ WILL BE TAKEN UP Suspended in Rum Graft Case Cops Will Have Hearing Before Cuthbert WOMAN WILL TESTIFY Atlantic City, March since last. Thursday when Special Prosecutor Herbert C. Bartlett returned to his home in Vineland for the weekend, the probe into reported vice and corruption in Atlantic City and the county will be resumed tomorrow. Bartlett and Linus A. Kelly, his aide, are expected to delve further into the reported irregularities of Mayor Anthony M.

Ruffu, in the placing of insurance on city property, as well as reach a decision relative to charges of graft and bribery against Frank J. Harrold, captain of Atlantic county detectives, and two of his staff. Mayor Ruffu is at liberty on bail of $28,000, pending trial on '14 indictments. of violating the New Jersey crimes act relating to city official receiving profit from city contracts. Harrold Charges Pending The investigation of Harrold and two of his operatives, Valentine Hoffman and Frank May, has been under way place, placed last with Monday, the but grand no charges The as three were relieved from duty nearly a month ago.

The action of Commissioner lie William S. Cuthbert, director of public safety, tomorrow disposing of bribery charges involving the 10 members comprising the special police vice squad, will influence the course to be followed by Prosecutor Louis a Repetto relative to grand jury investigation, the prosecutor said today. The members of the squad, all suspended March 11, will be given a public tile hearing at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow in city commission chambers by Director Cuthbert.

They are: Richard Black, head of the squad; William Eckbold, Michael Burke and John Garretson, charged with accepting a bribe to "look the other way" when 500 cases of liquor were found in a warehouse they raided, and the remaining six members, held as material witnesses. Others Held The latter are Alfred Freeman, Josiah Stockett, Joseph Richards, Harry McGaffany, Roy Parr and Joseph Marks. All except Marks were suspended March 11, the latter being relieved of duty a week later. The squad Was involved in the charges when Eckbold, declaring he was troubled by his conscience, confessed to Acting Police Chief Samuel Lippman he had shared with Black, Burke and Garretson a bribe of $1100 to "overlook" the liquor cache. Belief that other members of the squad "knew something" concerning the matter, according to Lippman, led to their being held.

Prosecutor Repetto said today he would have two of his assistants, probably Louis Mallin and Robert McAllister, at the police trial and would be guided by their recommendations concerning a grand investigation. To Quiz Mrs. Harrold One of the most important witnesses that Prosecutor Bartlett is expected to question tomorrow is Mrs. Charles Harrold, formerly Miss Anna M. Pennypacker, secretary to Mayor Ruffu.

The secretary's reported knowledge of the mayor's affairs in the placing of insurance contracts, building enterprises, rentals and stock promotions to her being subpenaed for questioning. Bail activities of Max Uretsky, one of a band of alleged bootleggers held for grand jury in $10,000 bail each by Judge William H. Smathers last Friday, will be closely scrutinized by the jurist tomorrow, he said today. Smathers has directed the clerk to furnish him with 8 complete report of bail Uretsky has furnished in the last two years as well complete accounting of his realty holdings. Court Orders Check-up "I want to know," Judge Smathers said, "if Uretsky has exceeded his legitimate rights in going upon the sureties of other accused men, and I want a thorough check of his equity in real estate holdings." Uretsky was implicated with 10 other men, all of whom have been arrested except two, as members of a huge bootleg liquor ring when an admitted former member, Floyd Wright, of 613 Arctic avenue, disclosed the workings of the ring after, he said, they had "double-crossed" him.

The disclosure was made to Judge Smathers last Friday when Wright said he since had been working as an agent for the Ku Klux Klan and informer for prohibition enforcement agents.

That was the word brought back from Washington by Congressman Charles A.

Wolverton. "The house sitting as a committee of the whole finished its consideration of the bill. late Friday," he said, "and it will very probably be brought up for Anal vote when the house reconvenes Monday." In view of the fact that the interstate and foreign commerce committee, which fathered the bill, has been sustained in the debate on the measure since last Wednesday, when It was reported out, it is believed that a motion to refer back to committee will be defeated. The bill would then be passed and sent on to the interstate commerce committee in the senate. Foes Mostly Democrats Among number of minor amendments made to the bill during the debate was one extending the time limit from January 1 to March 1.

Any bus lines in operation on or before that date will automatically be given a certificate of necessity and convenience. The amendment was introduced on the instance of representatives from New York and Ohio, who pointed out that a new bus company has invested a half-million dollars in a ClevelandNew York line since January 1 and that they should be given consideration because of their large investment. "Most of the opposition to the bill," Congressman Wolverton said, "has come from the Democratic side of the House, although the bill is not a party measure and the final vote will probably not be on strict party lines. Those opposing it are mostly of the opinion that there should be no regulation and that bus lines should be left to work out their own salvation." When the bill will be taken up in the Senate remains in doubt, although it is believed that the interstate commerce committee in the Senate will make few changes in the measure. Senator Couzens, of Michigan, has a similar measure ready.

Senator Kean is one of the members of the Senate committee which will take up the bill. Long Delay Possible "The Senate has been working over the tariff since last May. Should it take up the matter of Muscle Shoals it will be tied up weeks ahead," Congressman Wolverton declared. "'As a result there are a lot of bills held up, including some appropriation measures. Under those circumstances it is hard to, say the Senate might take the Parker bill, even if it is reported out of committee without delay." The Parker bill will regulate bus transportation between the states, having jurisdiction rates, routes, new lines, condition of buses, and the valuation of lines for rate-making purposes.

Representatives appointed by the Public Utility Commissions of the states concerned will hear cases with the Interstate Commerce Commission 8.8 court of final appeal. POSTMASTER CRAMER TO BE BURIED TOMORROW Funeral services for Marcus Cramer, Gloucester postmaster, who died of a heart attack, will be held tomorrow at 2 p. m. at his home, 531 Monmouth street.

Cramer, and a daughter, Marguerite. He was' a member of Henry S. Haines Lodge, No. 253, F. and A.

CCHROEDER FUNERAL SERVICE BROADWAY DAY OR NIGHT PHONE CAMDEN 400 HAWKS WILL USE GLIDER, TOWED BY BIG AIRPLANE, IN COAST -TO -COAST TRIP Flier to Leave San Diego Next Sunday for New York NORTH JERSEY FOLK TO. SEE AIR TRAIN Mail Will Be Carried; Radio Will Entertain Stunter By United Press New York, March by a 500-foot tow rope to a Waco biplane, Capt. Frank M.

Hawks, noted Amertcan flier, will leave San Diego next Sunday on his coast-to-coast glider tour, it was announced today. The Aret "air train" will pass through 12 states and over 60 cities. He will make 20 stops along the 2800- mile route, each of which will necessitate casting off the tow rope and gliding to earth. Captain Hawks will reach New York on April 6 and from high altitude above Central Park, will glide Into Van Cortlandt Park, 10 miles distant. The plane will be piloted by J.

D. Jernigin, and will carry a passenger Wallace Franklin, one of the builders of the glider. The glider, which bears the name of "Eaglet," has a wing span of 50 feet and is the first cabin glider ever constructed.

Pabst. of Brooklyn, who is vacationing here.

Chief dermatologist of the Greenpoint Hospital in Brooklyn, Dr. Pabst, with the aid of Assemblyman Edward P. Doyle, of Brooklyn, got the bill into the New York Assembly, and should it be passed there, will ask United States Senator Royal S. Copeland to make it a matter of consideration by Congress. Dr.

Pabst said the cosmetic industry in this country had grown to such proportions that controlling legislation is imperative. "Millions of American men and women," he said, "spend a yearly total of more than three billion dollars on cosmetics. It is imperative that these users be guaranteed every safety popsible. Skin disease, notably eczema and dermatitis, are becoming more prevalent each year and a large proportion of them can be traced to the use of cosmetic preparations containing impure or poisonous ingredients." The bill introduced in the New York Assembly and proposed as national legislation, provides that the labels on all cosmetic preparations must bear a guarantee of purity and non-injuriousness and must be inspected by state authorities before tribution. This measure, Dr.

Pabst pointed out, will cause little, if any, inconvenience to reputable manufacturers and will serve to remove from the market the Injurious products of "bootleg" cosmetic dealers, which, he said, are the carriers of disease.

ROOF GARDEN PADLOCK IS SOUGHT Suit Planned After Raid of Hotel Walton Dining-Dancing Floor by Dry Agents Federal agents Philadelphia will Ins institute padlock proceedings against the Hotel Walton Roof Garden today as a result of the raid' on the dining and dancing floor Saturday night. The suit will be directed against the Roof Garden alone, and not against the entire hotel. Warrants also will be issued for the arrest of Charles Duffy, manager, and Charles Kaiser, assistant manager, charging them with maintaining a public nuisance. Prohibition agents who made the raid make no charge that the hotel management or any employe had anything to do with liquor they say they seized at guest tables, but Prohibition Administrator Samuel O. Wynne, declared the hotel had full authority to stop liquor drinking by guests, and failed to do so.

Duffy, who is president of the Philadelphia Hotelmen's Association, was in New York at the time of the raid. Returning last night, he declared the hotel had done everything it could to stop liquor law violations, short of searching guests. Kaiser said that he and three private detectives "nearly hump-backed" looking under tables for liquor, and every patron not to drink or display liquor at their tables. The dry agents went all the way to Easton to obtain the warrant for the raid from United States Commissioner Reeder. Wynne refused to explain why they did so, denying, however, he had suspected a "leak" might develop if he asked for the warrant in Philadelphia.

Among the 265 guests at the roof garden when the raid was made were a number of 3000 delegates to the convention of the National Credit Jewelers' Association. Kaiser declared the hotel' already had lost much patronage for its roof garden on account of the public's fear of raids, the average attendance at the roof garden having been 450 to 500 until recently. No action will be taken against the guests from whom liquoh was seized, in spite. of threats Wynne made recently that persons found drinking in hotels would be prosecuted as felons.

R. LABOR URGES N.J. BAN NIGHT TOIL FOR GIRLS Shore Unions Endorse Assembly Bill to Protect Women From Racketeers Atlantic City, March that women night workers throughout the state, particularly those employed in restaurants, are endanged by their contact with racketeers, gamblers, dope peddlers and the like, labor leadens of this city have taken the initiative for adoption of Assembly Bill No. 171 as a remedy of the evil. The bill provides that women employed in restaurants or in similar occupations shall not begin such work before 6 a.

m. nor continue it longer than 10 p. m. A plea for support of the bill, being circulated throughout the state, declares it is dangerous that women should work during the hours banned by the bill and attacks the alleged practice of restaurant owners in employing only young and attractive girls and women. "Because every racketeer begins his work around 10 p.

the circular states, "it is dangerous that women and girls should be compelled to work between that hour and 6 a. m. "Dope peddlers ply their trade during the night, often making restaurants their hangout; card sharps, gamblers and other undesirables and their women are out looking for 'suckers' during that time, also. "Many waitresses have girl frienda coming in to see them, and these friends in many cases are penniless and out of work. It is then that the gang gets hold of them and they are next found in some house of ill fame.

If this law is not put through, white slavery will become far more wide. spread than it is today. "Restaurants in some instances advertise for blondes or brunettes between the ages of 18 and 23, and even specifly that they must be about five feet in height and weigh not more than 120 pounds. "Other poor women citizens, who are up in years and good waitresses, cannot find work because of such preference." SECRET SLEUTH ON JOB Paulsboro's 'Unknown' Traps Coal Thief and Finds Butter in Home Paulsboro, March has secret policeman, it was revealed today. His identity is known only to Mayor James A.

SCOTCH BOYS GIVE TROUBLE Glasgow, March warfare between school children has assumed such menacing proportions that police and school authorities orfanized today in an effort to stop it.

Maximum Quality MOHRFELD COAL CAMDEN By Universal Service Washington, March 28-American farmers by cutting production of wheat 20 percent will get 20 percent more money than they are getting, Alexander Legge, chairman. of the Federal Farm Board, said today. Legge sounded a warning on overproduction; but at the same time expressed belief that the farmer, through a campaign of education; will in time see the advantage of curtailing duction. Chairman Legge, who has been wag- ing an intense fight to stabilize farm prices, issued his statement through the U. S.

Chamber of Commerce in an interview which will be published in The Nation's Business, the chamber's publication. "There is no way to coerce the farmer into joining a co-operative," lie said. "You can't compel him, but you may persuade him. And that is what we are now undertaking to Discusses Policies Discussing the farm board's policies and the prices fixed for loans on cotton and wheat, Legge said: "There is nothing mysterious about the manner in which we determine the loan value of a crop. A limit must be fixed somewhere.

Loans are based upon the best information we can obtain of the world supply and demand, leaving a reasopably safe margin of protection. We do not intend to jeopardize the government's money any more than we find necessary and likewise we do not propose to load the farmer up with loans beyond his needs." Why Farmers Need Asked what makes agriculture s6 different from other industries that it needs special help, the chairman of the board has lagged behind other industries in the general progress of the country. In seeking the reason for this, the best answer in my opinion, is 'lack 'of We have six million farmers, all, or nearly all of them, competing with one another in a buyers' market, in which the buyers are comparatively few. "Agriculture has operated as an unorganized enterprise trying to compete with highly organized effort in other industries."
