3 PREJUDICE FLAGRANT IN GUARD, LITTMAN CHARGES Discrimination Against Jews Not Confined to 47th Regiment, Counsel Declares at Hearing. SIMILAR CASE IN 13TH? Manhattan Regiments Also of Race Feeling, It Is Claimed--Hearing Is Continued, That discrimination against Jews 18 a general practice in the National Guard and that he is preparing to bring against National Guard officers in various other regiments besides the Forty-seventh of Brooklyn, for specific instances of discrimination, was the bomb exploded at the Littman hearing yesterday afternoon, in the City Hall, Manhattan, by Maurice Simmons, past Commander-in-Chief of the United Spanish War Veterans, who conducted the examination for the former sergeant. Moreover Simmons declared that he had legal evidence to prove that 8 member of the examining board In one of the regiments which passed on the atness of applicants seeking promotion had stated he would see to It that no Jew that would ever succeed in passing his examination to become a commissioned officer. "The manner in which Jews have been trampled on in the National Guard," said Mr. Simmons, "'Is outrageous.

This case of Littman's is not the first, but one of la many. If a man, because of his religion, going to be prevented from holding a commission in the National Guard it is about time that steps were taken to exclude those men from the organizations. Oher cases have never been brought to an investigation because those concerned were weak. Littman is one who had the backbone to fight for his rights and we thank God for that." Case Similar to Littman's in Thirteenth Regiment, Is Claim. similar case to that of former Sergeant Samuel Littman, around whom the present inquiry hinges, exists In the and Thirteenth Regiment, Brooklyn, it is said, likewise in the Eighth and Ninth Regiments, Manhattan.

Colonel Davis of the Thirteenth Regiment he said today that knew absolutely nothing of any discrimination in his organization. Eighth Regiment case is The said to be the most a flagrant of all. Here it is claimed the applicant, a Hebrew, was doored on the questions the put to him by tions he One of the quesexamining board. was required to answer correctly in order to pass was said to be the following: "Give the name and length of every river in New York State." The member of the examining board who said that he would prevent any Jew from ever securing a commission in his regiment is commissioned officer, it is stated, and charges will shortly be preforced, him to Governor Sulzer. pittman was represetned at the hearing yesterday by Edward Lauterbach, Municipal Court Justice Leon Sanders and Maurice Simmons.

Colonel Barthman was represented by Colonel Alexander S. Bacon. Lieutenant Colonel Herman Bendell, retired, of Albany, presided under orders from the Governor. Sitting with him Were Adjutant General H. D.

Hamilton, Lieutenant Colonel Henry S. Sternberger, chief of the Commissary Division, and Lieutenant Commander Lewis Josephthal of the Naval Militia. Colonel Bendell explained at the outset that the status of the proceeding was only that of a hearing. A number of offers of the Forty-seventh. who were seated in the body of the room, were overheard to pass remarks that were anything but complimentary to former Sergeant Littman, while the latter was telling his story on the stand.

A document around which considerable interest will probably devolve was introduced by Colonel Bacon at one of the proceedings. Littman had testifed that Colonel Marthman refused to call an election to All the vacant second lieutenancy in Company for fear that Littman would be chosen. The witness then volunteered that he would undoubtedly have been the choice of the company, as he had done more for it than anyone else. Signed Statement by Members of Littman's Company Shown. "Are you sure that you would have had the support of the majority of the members of your company?" demanded Colonel Bacon, seizing on the opportunity thus offered.

"Reasonably sure," responded the witnestihen I offer this document in evidence," retorted Colonel Bacon, "signed by a majority the company and stating in effect that they would not at that time or any other time have voted in favor of the plaintiff." "We do not object to it being offered in evidence," declared Mr. Simmons, "but right this point I wish to state that 12 it is put in evidence I demand the right to summon everyone whose name is signed to it to show by what threats and underhand methods their signatures were obtained." "Sure, they have opened the door for you; walk in." prompted Judge Sanders. Counsel for Littman later demanded that not only the signers of the document in question but all the members of Company be required to appear at today's hearing. Colonel Bendell declared that he had no power to compel their attendance but that he would request that they attend. General Hamilton was called upon as their superior officer to conpel their atteudance but he would not go any further than Colonel Bendell had offered to go.

He said he would request all the members of the company to attend today's session, which starts at 3 P. M. There were thirty-eight signers of the statement and Littman declared that he had gone to all whose addresses he knew. nine in ail, and that they had informed him that they either did not know what they had signed or that they had signed it under pressure. He had affidavits from eight of them to that effect, he declared.

The direct and cross-examination of the complainant, himself, consumed all of yesterday's hearing. Colonel Bacon damaged the direct testimony somewhat on cross-examination but he did not shake Littman's main story. He brought the fact that Littman had a very low, record for attendance at drills during first enlistment, also that he took advantage of his position as company clerk at one time to remain away from drills. The hearing was continued today at 3 P. and it is expected will be brought to a close tomorrow.

While the proceedings were going on in City Hall, the case was also being considered in Rochester, N. Y. where the annual convention of the United Spanish War Veterans was in progress. A resolution was adopted at the convention condemning such discrimination as unjust, inconscionable and un-American and demanding of the Governor that the stigma be removed from the military escutcheon of the Empire State.

FIGHT ON MONAHAN STARTS Powers' Followers Begin Warfare in the 23d A.

D. The Twenty-third Assembly District Democratic Club, of which James M. Power, secretary to Public Works Commissioner Lewis Pounds, is the standard bearer, was formally organized, last night, at the home of Mr. Power, 1387 Herkimer street. With this organization Mr.

Power hopes to remove Transfer Tax Appraiser James J. Monaban, from the Democratic leadership of the district. "A real leader, and not a leader by proxy," was chosen as the primary s1ogan, T. J. King, formerly an active lieutenant of Monahan, was chosen as temporary chairman of the meeting, last night.

George Reiff, another district captain, was elected as temporary secretary. One of the singular features of the gathering was the presence of many Democrats who are election district captains under Monahan. Mr. Power, in the course of his remarks, impressed upon the that the coming mayoralty campaign is the most important that the party has had in years. The time, he said, was most opportune for the younger element to assert itself and eliminate the "political hacks" who have been "conducting the affairs of the party for their pockets." Mr.

Power ophesied that the new organization will have little trouble in accomplishing Monahan's feat. The chairman will appoint a tee to confer with the Young Men's Democratic Club, the Star Club and the Brownsville Democratic Club, to induce them to affiliate with the central movement against Monahan. The meeting voted to prepare a campaign appeal, which will be sent to every enrolled Democrat in the district, enlisting support to bring about Monahan's retirement from the leadership. Among those appointed on the committee to secure the co-operation of other Democratic organizations in the district were Mr. Power, Frank Wasserman, Michael T.

Purchase of Site Finally Laid Over After Controller Takes Dig at Steers. A thrilling representation of the mobscene from "Jullus Caesar" was given before the members of the Board of Estimate in session at the City Hall today, when the question of laying out and acquiring title to on playground by assessment 1n the Brownsville section of Brooklyn came up for the approval of the board.

Fully 300 angry and excited supporters and opponents of the project crowded around the frail the railing which separated the dias where the members of the board sit, from the public seats, and shouted heated arguments pro and con, until both sides were speaking at once and hurling recriminations at each other and it looked as 1f they would come to blows. While the members of the board looked on in helpless amazement and the Mayor pounded in vain for order, the shouters caught their second wind and started 8 concerted chant of disapproval. It was only when the Mayor'st police alde, Lieutenant Kennel, used football tactics to penetrate the crowd and silence the ringleaders that order was restored. The proposition under consideration was the acquisition of four blocks of property in Brownsville for playground purposes, three of the blocks bounded by Dumont, Hopkinson and Livonia avenues and Douglass street ands the fourth bounded by Hopkinson, Blake and Dumont avenues.
