Kenny's Life in Terms Of Stunts and Gifts CALLAGHAN ISSUE County Leader Finds Many Clamoring for Hearing No Decision Due Till Sept. 28. Democratic County Leader John H. McCooey returned to the heat of the city today and to the equally torrid game of politics. He found Democrats and Republicans clamoring for an audience on the proposal to secure a Democratic indorsement for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Callaghan.

He skillfully avoided committing himself on the subject. He is not expected to his decision until the morning of Sept. 28, the day of the Judicial convention. McCooey came down from the Maplewood Club, at Maplewood, N. yesterday and returned to his desk in the Surrogate's office this morning.

"There is nothing new on the Judgeship question," he declared in answer to questions. He has declared that he personally feels "friendly" toward the Republican Jurist whose term expires but that it is up to the delegates to the Judicial convention to settle the matter of an indorsement. County Judge Alonzo G. McLaughlin continued today to be the strongest Democratic contender for the nomination. His friends are expected to thresh the matter out with McCooey some time this week.

They will put forth the argument that it is wise to oppose a sitting Judge with another sitting Judge. They contend that McCooey has looked with favor on McLaughlin's candidacy. SCHMELING SAYS HE HAS A FIGHT ON WITH DEMPSEY States He Intends to Cut Visit to Cermany Short to Return for Bouts in U. S. Hamburg, Sept.

4 (fP) Arriving here today from the United States, Max Schmeling, German heavyweight boxer, said he intends to cut his visit short and return to America soon as he has had several good fight offers. "Although I am taboo In New York, there are plenty of opportunities for fights In other States. The New York ban won't last forever, either as the present commission chairman won't maintain his stand indefinitely," Schmeling declared. He added that the reason he refused to obey the commission and go through with his fight with the Englishman Phil Scott in New York was that he was offered only 26 percent of the receipts. Max is willing to meet Scott under better terms, he said.

Schmeling declined to reveal his exact plans for the future but hinted he would not fight Jack Sharkey if the latter were defeated by Tommy Loughran in their New York bout 26. "Dempsey intends to meet me for the world championship," Schmeling remarked. "But there's plenty of time for that." The reception that Schmeling encountered here was only lukewarm, due to his troubles with his manager and the New York Boxing Commission. He said his seven weeks American tour through 2G States had tired him out so he had fled to the fatherland to recuperate. He will fly to Berlin tomorrow.

SOURCE OF COX VOTE STRENGTH Having scientifically established that the typhoid cases contracted at Camp Tabor In Wayne County, Pa were transmitted by a typhoid the Heal'h Department Is taking steps to eliminate future danger of spreading the disease in this way by proposing medical certificates for all the food handlers at summer camp Commissioner Wynne announced today.

Dr. Wynne declared that the suspected carrier in the present case is believed to be a woman cook at the girls' camp, living in Rahway. N. who worked at the camp two years ajo when a similar outbreak of typhoid took place. Thus far.

it was said, she has refused to undergo an examination, but Commissioner Wynne is pressing this examination through the health officials of New Jersey. Water and Milk Ture. According to Commissioner Wynne an examination of the milk and water used at the camp failed to show any traces of typhoid, which led the authorities to center their search on those who were handling the food at. the camp, "An examination of the water and milk supply which was made at the camp has eliminated the theory that the disease originated from this source," Dr. Wynne said.

"And we are now quite certain that it appeared through a carrier." "Two years ago a similar outbreak took pluce and the cook and owner were the only ones there this year who were also present then. It has been established that the owner had typhoid at one time, but we believe the real cause of th outbreak is to be found in the person of the camp's cook." Appeal to Parents. Rabbi Jacob Grossman of 41-08 Parson Flushing, who with his wife, conducts Camp Tabor, has been called by the Division of Communicable Diseases to explain why extraordinary precautions were not taken in his camp this year against typhoid in view of the previous outbreak. Health Commissioner Wynne yesterday appealed to all parents whose children are to return to school to have them Inoculated against the disease following the report of one new rase and an additional death which has Increased the case list to 50 in this city as a result of the outbreak at Camp Tabor.

Kenny's home town that's Brooklyn and Al Smith's friends chuckled today as Louis Arico, the multi-millionaire's barber, was packing up his shears, razors, creams and pomades to sail on the Leviathan Friday to attend the needs of his distinguished patron's greying locks and his bristling moustache. "Bill" Kenny, it seems, just couldn't stand the non-Gotham ton- sorial touches of the barberlnz gen try that clips and shaves the M. or London. A few sittings in continental barber shops and "Bill" could scarcely recognize the features that have made the front page Qf every metropolitan sheet w-hen he doffed his hat. Calls l'p the Signor.

Enough was enough. The millionaire contractor, Al Smith's best friend, picked up a transatlantic telephone and bade Signor Arico to come immediately, pronto and posthaste on the first boat so Kenny could recognize himself in the mirror. It was Just another of the "stunts" of the man who maintains the only "tiger room" in the world for Tammany tigers, who maintains the luxury of a $60-a-week office boy, and is allowed to sport a fire chief's tin hat for his beneficences to the Fire Department. This William F. Kenny, a contractor with many times enough money to transport a regiment ef prima donna barbers to Slain, played with Al Smith on the sidewalks of New York as a boy, chased after fire wagons with him, and married back in the gay '90s on an Income of $13.50 a week.

An explosion figuratively blew him up the ladder of success. It injured his father. Battalion Chief Thomas Kenny, and it was through this that Chief Kenny was able to land a position with what is now the New York Edison Company for his young son "Bill." Story of Ills Success. How "Bill" ran meager start Into his $50,000,000 contracting business is sidewalks of New York history. But he is a realist, makes light about his rise, and confounds interviewers by refusing to give out success interviews and chinning with them, instead of his old days of "playing shenanigans" with "Al." In memory of hi father, Kenny has made gifts of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Fire Department up-to-date wagons, nooks and ladders, and a complete medical outfit.

He dons his honorary fire chief hat and garb and "rolls out" on as many as three and four alarm fires as his busy man time allows him. Kenny got very much in the limelight last summer when the Congressional Committee called on him, "Bill" Todd and one or two others to come down and tell them about their big antes to Al Smith's war-chest. Mr. Kenny was perhaps the committee's frankest and most entertaining witness. "For the love of Al." he said, he had contributed $70,000.

He went further and said he would chip in his last nickel to advance his boyhood pal Presidential aspirations. Everybody in Kenny's employ-out in the constructing gangs or in his big office In his own building at 4th ave. and 23d Manhattan, gets Court Advises Husband With Jacob Berine. 43. of 317 49th appeared In 5th Ave.

"But, Your Honor," Jnrob protested, "she stays out until 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning: she puts on too much paint and powder, and she doesn't want to go out with me because she says I'm too old looking." "Your Honor," put in Mrs.

Berine, "he doesn't want to do the same things that I want to do. I like to go bathing and go to the movies. All i High spots in William F. Kenny's career include: Marriage on income of $13.50 a week and rise to a contracting business. Contributing $70,000 to Smith campaign fund and lending niuc hmore without worrying about getting it back, "all for the love of Al." Maintaining luxurious "Tiger Room" for entertaining political potentates.

Paying office boy $60 a week and contributing $250,000 a year to charities. Large contributions to Fire Department, of which he is an honorary chief, and "rolling out" on big fires. Sending 3,000 miles for his barber to Join him in Europe. big turkeys for Christmas and Thanksgiving, and bonuses for the New Year. He pays his 22-year-old office boy $60 a week for being handy, and explained to an interviewer last year, "You bet he earns It." But it is only the political elite of Al Smith's party that gasns admission to the famous "Tiger Room" atop Kenny's building.

Here Al, Bill Todd, Jim Rlordan, Col. Lehman, Bob Wagner and others of the extremely inner circle foregather in quarters cloaked with mystery as far as the public is concerned. There is a big banquet hall, collections of water colors and oil paintings, a roof garden and even electric horses for exercise. The Senators wanted to know when Kenny was on the witness stand if the room was painted in tiger stripes it contained something a block long and one thing or another. Their witness described it as "Just a comfortable little room" where "the Governor can come, take off his coat and enjoy himself among friends." He revealed, though, big, ltltle and medium-sized tiger skins adorn the mystic chamber for atmosphere.

$250,000 Yearly to Charity. Mr. Kenny often goes abroad and last summer he introduced the famous brown derby to London. His charities are said to amount to $250,000 a year, but none of them ever succeed in getting into print. A year ago June Niagara University conferred the degree of LL.D.

on Mr. (nt Dr.) Kenny. A reretn interest of "Bill" Kenny's is baseball, he owns about one-fifth ot the stock in the New York Giants and is perfectly willing to buy full control any time he can. Kenny, however, never aspired for office. And he had never been Irtldtt'n hfnre hp nttUaA nnn miles of water for his barber yesterday to be particularly metlcalous about his appearance.

Indeed, as a rule he has seemed to prefer com- lon ana arrssea conservatively, nut. he tnfnrmpri hta mini lie barber, "I look awful. Every time last uu my ni i iook almost Indecent. Turn over vnnr ahnn the boys and get over here in a hurry." Wife to Help Word Puzzles he wants to do Is to stay home and work cross-word puzzles." Magistrate Ellperin admonished Jacob that it would be a good idea to take the wife to the movies now and then, and that, after all, a little paint and powder did not harm not much, to be sure, for the mother of three children but a little. He then suggested to Mrs.

Berine that It might not be a bad idea to "stay home with your husband pretty much of the time and Improve your own mind by helping him work out his cross-word puzzles." He then dismissed the charge and the couple left Court together. Even he can't get away with it iOM'T try to put anything over on is the way a con would express it. "Sooner or later she'll get you. Give you a tkket and lay you up in a place where you'J rather not lie. "Even copj can't get away with it.
