L. Missing Evangelist Aimee McPherson. EDDIE DRIGGS '74 LEADS QUALIFIERS IN GOLF TOURNEY Cherry Valley Star Gives Best Exhibition Seen in 20 Years. Riddell Second. By GEORGE TREVOR.

(Special Correspondent of The Eagle.) Garden City Club, Garden City, May 20-Playing the finest brand of golf ever unleashed in all the 25 years wherein the Garden City Invitation Tournament has been held, Eddie Driggs, Cherry Valley, scored a magnificent 74, to lead the qualifiers this morning. There can be little doubt that this score will win the medal. It never has been beaten in this event. Driggs played from the extreme back with a stiff raw wind blasting in his face. Most of his fellow golferg found low scoring impossible the wretched conditions, but Driggs seemed oblivious to the cantankerous elements, Driggs' card: Out 5 4 4-38 In 5 3 5 4 5 8 4 3--36--74 Other scores follow: E.

Woolsey, Garden City C. 46 -52-98. Driggs was driving a long ball down the center and putting with his newly acquired deadliness. Eddie's velvet putting touch is responsible for his tremendous improvement this season. He is now justifying his early promise.

Driggs made only two mistakes on the outward nine, taking 3 putts on the second green and shoving his mashie off the line at the 431-yard sixth hole. His one birdie came at the 488-yard fourth, where he was home with a lusty brashie. Coming in, Driggs was trapped 011 his tee shot at the short 12th, but exploded his buried ball to within 10 feet and holed out for a par 3. At the 16th. 390 yards, he laid mashie niblick pitch 12 feet from the pin and sank the putt for a bird 3.

"It was the most consistent golf I ever have played in a medal said Eddie in the locker room. Driggs reached the 17th green, 480 yards from the tee, with a drive and an iron for his final birdie. Riddell Cards an '80. John F. Riddell, a Cherry Valley clubmate of Eddie Driggs, stood second when half the field had returned cards, with a useful 80.

Red headed, rollicking Riddell, who used to play first base for Yale, hits a golf ball with as much sincerity as he used to wallop the horsehide, A 7 at the long 13th hole prevented Riddell from breaking 80. He was a stroke under Driggs to the turn. Hamilton Kerr and Eddie Van Vleck, both of the home club, were next best with 81 aplece. Their cards: Riddell, Riddell, in Van Vlek.

Bringing documents received from the Health Department indicating numerous payments of graft by bootleg milk and cream dealers in this Chief Assistant District Attorney Ferdinand Pecora of Manhattan entered the Grand Jury room this afternoon and asked for indictments charging bribery and conspiracy.

Mr. Pecora outlined to the Grand Jury the entire scope of the investigation he has been making during the past month in co-operation with Dr. Louis I. Harris, Commissioner of Health.

Levy, in Bronx Supreme Court this morning, postponed this sentence of Danziger until June Danziger, who had pleaded guilty to extortion in the Bronx, is out $10,000 bail.

Queens Probe Takes New Turn. The probe in Queens today shifted from its first objective, that of running down those in responsible connection for graft and corruption with milk inspection in New York City during 1924 and 1925. When the May Grand Jury assembled in Long Island City, it turned its attention instead to determining whether or not there is a milk monopoly in that boro. To this end a long list of witnesses were subpenaed, chiefly milk company officials who came some of them bringing their books, ready to answer questions this subject. They included the following: J.

J. Kent of Nestle's Food Company, Dr. William Pratt of Utica, representing a group of independent up-State milk dealers; I. Elkin Nathan, formery secretary of the New York State Milk Conference Board; George S. Slocum, president of the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association; Charles Walters, former president of the Empire Dairy Company, and John J.

Dillon, an organizer of the Dairymen's League. Loton Horton, president of the Sheffleld Farms Company, and Patrick Fox, head of Borden's 1 Milk Products Company, also expected. State's Aid Sought. The objective now sought, it was reported, is to obtain evidence which may be turned over to the State Attorney General's office relating to any combine to fix milk prices. It is the State's function to take over prosecution in such cases under the State Anti-Trust Laws, it is contended, in the event that any such evidence is found.

Livingston today accused Governor Smith "wrongfully depriving the people of New York of equal representation." His statement was issued soon after the Governor vetoed the G.

O. P. Senatorial District Reapportionment Bill. "It is the first time in 30 years that a Governor of this State has failed to carry out the mandate of the Constitution," Livingston said. "Smith is not the Constitutionalist that 13 has been trying to make the people believe He for equality only when' the interest of the Democratic party is concerned.

We will have no fair apportionment until we elect a Republican Governor." Partisan Politics Seen. Governor Smith called the reapportionment bill, which would have deprived Manhattan of two Senators and 1 four Assemblymen and added a Senator in Brooklyn and Queens and an additional Assemblyman to Brooklyn and the Bronx and three in Queens, "an attempt to bedevil the situation and to use the Constitution for partisan political Livingston, who is also purposes." Commisstoner of Elections, produced figures sought to prove that many of which the Manhattan districts have less population than those in the other boros, and that several of them a are smaller in population than any district in the State.

The new Senatorial distriets in Brooklyn were to have had 199,900 citizens in each of the 24 districts. Reapportionment Veto Reasons. In his veto of the reapportionment bill Governor Smith declared It to be "high time that political parties be given to understand that they cannot make a Joke out of the Constitution of this State for the purpose of helping their political organizations." Veto of this measure was expected.

It diminished representation from Manhattan Island and increased representation from Brooklyn and Queens. The Governor objected to one district that had been drawn in New York County running from 101st st. down to Bleecker st. He declared that this violated the Constitutional provision that districts must be "compact." Governor Smith said the Republicans had "gone around corners and up to make safe G. O.

P. districts. Knight Attacks Veto. Buffalo, N. May 20 (A)-State Senator John Knight Arcade today issued two statements charging that Governor Alfred E.

One of the men still missing is said to have been the brains of the combination. Federal Authorities Get Case. Clark was arrested by the police but brought under the Federal Jurisdiction because, according to the charge, he represented himself in his operations as a postoffice inspector.

The police and Federal authorities stepped in on complaint of Karl Wellendorf of 338 17th a former postoffice employee. Clark came to him, Wellendorf told Patrolman Frank Ludwig of the 5th ave. station, and declared he knew all about a certain trouble Wellendorf had got into while in the postoffice. This has now been entirely cleared up, and the matter was never even brought into court. However, Clark informed him of a new law which required a check on former Federal employees who had been in difficulties and he was making the check.

For $100, however, he was willing to forget the requirement. Despite the danger which Wellendorf saw to himself if he failed to comply, he had Clark arrested. Clark, after the postponement, was questioned by Assistant United States Attorney Walter Shields, who will present the case to a Federal Grand Jury.

Cohen Backs Down; Refuses To Make Charge Against Cop He Says Brutally Beat Him Harry Cohen, the taxi driver 1514 Eastern Parkway who yesterday clamored justice, alleging that he was brutally assaulted for no reason at all by a drunken policeman, had the opportunity today to go to court and start something. He backed down cold. Yet the policeman in question, Patrolman John A. Ross of the 9th precinct, Manhattan, has had charges filed against him by Police Inspector Byron Sackett who conducted a hearing this morning. Ross is not held to blame for anything he may have done to Cohen.

He is censured for not going further and locking Cohen up. Inspector Holds Hearing. At today's hearing Inspector Sackett was able, for the first time since the alleged assault at Foster ave: and Ocean Parkway Tuesday night, to gather witnesses and principals in his Bath Beach office. He had them all there, on subpenas, together and thrash the matter out. Cohen's story was that while driving his car along Ocean Parkway he noticed a side door was open in another machine being driven by Patrolman Ross in civilian clothes.

When he advised to close the door, he said, the policeman got out of his own car, came over to the taxi and proceeded to beat him up thoroughly. Detective Joseph Pucciano of the Fort Hamilton station was a passenger in Ross' car, he said, but lifted not a finger to save him from bodily harm, although a great crowd of spectators begged him to do so. Policeman Charges Assault. The policeman, when it came his turn to speak before said few things that threw a little inspector. different light on the case.

Cohen had neglected to say, he testified, that when he called attention to the open door of the car he called Ross a name that no man with red blood in his veins will let pass by. When he approached Cohen, he said, the latter attacked him with a crank handle and lacerated the back of his right hand. Then something did happen, he admitted. He insisted that he didn't strike the taximan with his fist. but merely "pushed" him.

Cohen was questioned again. This time he admitted picking up the crank handle, but denied striking Ross with it. He maintained, however, that Ross had been intoxicated, although a police surgeon examined him later at the Parkville station and pronounced him sober. Ross Explains Staggering. Ross hi had a good answer for this.

He was not drunk, he said, but suffering from varicose veins in his legs. Because of this affliction he has been on sick leave a number of times, he testified, and immediately after his little affair with Cohen Tuesday night his legs hurt him so much that he "could hardly stand on them." This, in his opinion, may have caused Cohen and the others to think he was staggering because of intoxication. After five of Cohen's witnesses had told of seeing Ross wallop Cohen and had related other things they saw or thought they had seen, Cohen's chance for revenge came. Inspector Sackett told him that if he was still convinced he was the victim of an assault he would be taken to Coney Island Court at once to make a formal charge against Ross. Balks at Court.

But Cohen didn't want to go. He murmured something about leaving it up to the inspector as he didn't want at to bother with "this court business." Inspector Sackett was not satisfied with Patrolman Ross's explanation that the reason he didn't arrest Cohen was because the next day was his day off and he thought he had straightened everything out satisfactorily. He notified the policeman that he would be brought to trial before First Deputy Police Commissioner Leach for failure to take proper police action. The inspector gave Detective Pucciano a clean bill of health. E.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, May 20-Governor Smith yesterday vetoed all five teachers' salary increase bills, and the bill to increase the Board of Education of New York City from seven to 15 members. The Governor cited the figures of Controller Charles W. Berry, who said that the city would have to abolish several departments in order to finance the teachers' 000 raise. He criticized the teachers' custom of coming to Albany for their salary increases instead of going to their own Board of Education. "In order to preserve the morale and promote the efficiency of the great army of school teachers in the City of New York," he said, "the Board of Education, the body charged by law with the administration of the education system of the city, should initiate where legislation is required to make effective any of these bills." Legislature Rejected Money Bill.

The Governor calls attention to the fact that he urged on the Legislature the passage of a bill containing the recommendations of the Friedsam Committee for additional State aid to the schools. This bill would have provided for the funds for the Ricca bill, he said. "Assemblyman Ricca is the father of the salary bill, and he has not taken the trouble to inform himself about the financial structure of the city upon which he would impose a burden of $18,000,000,000," says the Governor. Other Bills Vetoed. In addition to the Ricca bill raising the salaries of almost everyone on the Board of Education payroll, the Governor vetoed the Faroll bill, for salaries of superintendents and high school principals; the Phelps bill, to give the 7th, 8th and 9th grade teachers the same pay as junior high teachers, the Feld bill, for continuation schools, and the Antin bill for junior high schools.

Ficca Accuses Smith of Camouflage. Answering the attack Governor Smith, Assemblyman Joseph F. Rioca, introducer of the teachers salary boost bill, vetoed by the Governor yesterday, today made a statement that his bill would cost the city less than the Cole bill, which the Governor wanted passed. "In 1925 his alibi was that the city did not have the necessary funds to pay the increases asked in my previous bill, and at the hearing on Monday he shifts the blame to the Republican Legislature and rebukes it for its failure to pass the Cole says Ricca. "I believe the action taken by the Governor is purely an attempt again to camouflage the teachers of the City of New York."
