AUNE 36 BUSHWAN SAYS HIS PRISONER TRIED TO BRIBE HIM Policeman Marks Bills and Holds Them as Evidence Against Fliegelman. ARREST IN FULTON ST. CROWD. Well Dressed Man Charged With Jostling--Says Police Have His Record. A charge of bribery was lodged by Patrolman James Hanan of Traffic Squad at the Adams street police station, last night, against Samuel Fliegelman, aged 25 years, of 55 West Twenty-eighth street, Manhattan.

Hanan said that. the prisoner, who was arrested, charged with disorderly conduct, had slipped $20-a ten dollar bill and two fives into his hand. "Business is on the bum," the policeman says Fliegelman told him. "You look like a good fellow." Then he put the three bills into his hand with the additional remark: "I'll meet you later, when you are in plain clothes, and fix it up with you." Hanan kept the money and later marked it, to be used as evidence against the prisoner. Fliegelman is well dressed and looks prosperous.

He had been pushing and jostling peoplie in the crowds in front of the a shop windows on Fulton street near Flatbush avenue at o'clock last night when the policeman had his attention called to him. Louis Rubenstein, a business man of 185 and 137 West Twenty-seventh street, had been watching Fliegeman, who not only jostled the people in front of the store windows, but jumped on and off crowded cars. The policeman says he also had noticed him before Rubenstein pointed him out, so he felt justifled in taking him into custody on the charge of disorderly conduct. At first the man protested that he was respectable, and said that he was a dealer in pearl buttons at 49 West Twenty -eighth street, but the officer gave no indication of any intent to let him go, and the bribe was offered. Fliegelman was taken later to the detective bureau at local police headquarters on Poplar street, and there he admitted that he had been arrested before, and had been convicted of the same sort of disorderly conduct.

"What's the use of denying it," he said, philosophically. "You've got my record at police headquarters." DR. WAITE'S FATHER WILL TAKE PECK MONEY (Special to The Eagle.) Grand Rapids, March 25. Although Warren W. Waite put his son, Arthur Warren Waite, through dental department of the tine University of Michigan by driving a huckster cart, he does not want the $2,000 bequeathed him by his son's father-in-law, John E.

Peck, the Grand Rapids millionaire druggist, whom Dr. Waite is now accused of having poisoned in New York early in March. Two thousand dollars looms larger in the modest household of Waite Sr. than it does in that of the dead millionaire, but Waite has flatly refused the money. "All I want is my son's good name and my own good name," he declared, when the matter came up.

Although it disposes of property valued at only about $300,000. an inventory of the estate taken since that time shows it to be worth twice that amount. The will proper was drawn shortly after the death of Mrs. Peck, and aside from a few minor bequests, the estate was given to Mrs. Peck.

Percy Peck and Clara Louise Peck Waite. It was so arranged that if Mrs. Peck died, her share of the eslate was to be equally divided between the son and the daughter.

in Warm Primary Fight. LINEBURGH "PASSES THE LIE." Gets Salary for Only One Job He Says and Talks of Barnes. Dady Influence. Superintendent of Highways Thomas B. Lineburgh, the G.

O. P. leader of the Fifth Assembly District who is running for State committeeman, "passed the lie" to his rival, George Marshall, in the course of a verbal encounter last night. Marshall, who is the present State committeeman running for re-election, charged Lineburgh with "bossism" and with threatening "political annihilation" as the punishment for any who supported the Marshall candidacy. Marshall made his charge in an open letter to the voters, in which he also accused Lineburgh of grabbing the party honors in sight and recited that the Highway Superintendent already held, besides the superintendency under Borough President Pounds, four other jobs as follows: Executive member, member of the County Committee.

trustee of the Kings County Republican Club, and chairman of its entertainment committee. "The members of the County Committee naturally assumed that I would be a said Marshall. "But at the last moment, without calling the County Committee together and without consultation or conference with the County Committee, I was unceremoniously told by the leader of the district that while my work was entirely satisfactory, and I had been in every way a good Republican, he would take the position "The nomination and election of the State Committeeman rests, under the law, and the party rules, with the enrolled Republicans of the district. "The question is therefore shall the law and the party rules prevail or may the leader with impunity assume this prerogative and add a sixth to his present five positions? believe that a proper distribution of the offices and honors of the party makes for the best interests of our organization. The leader believes in absolute centralization of power in nim alone.

My candidacy is linked with no faction or clique, nor is it tied to the ambition of any man. believe I have been cast aside in a dishonorable manner, and my friends who objected have been threatened with political annihilation." Five thousand of the letters were sent out early in the day, and Marshall's friends announced last night that already 400 favorable replies had been received. When Lineburgh heard of the letter he talked like this: "In regard to Mr. Marshall's reference to how I became a candidate want to say that as a matter of fact the advisory committee of five of the election district captains first suggested it and recommended it to the board of captains. After that by a vote of 19 to 10, 7 being absent, the board of captains approved my candidacy.

Afterwards five of the seven came and told me they were for me. I did not go out and seek the nomination." Then he branded the charge that he had threatened Marshall's friends with political annihilation as "untrue" and made these remarks about the five jobs he was charged with holding: "I just want to call attention to the fact that a salary is connected with only one; that I could not be executive member unless I was a county committeeman, and that I have been begging the ciub to relieve me of the post of chairman of the entertainment committee for some time." Lineburgh's charge that DadyBarnes influence was behind Marshall was vigorously denied both in the Marshall letter and in a subsequent statement by Lockwood. Marshall, as proof that Barnes was not aiding him, declared that he had opposed the efforts of Barnes to control a the big four at the Republican State Convention, and drove point home by announcing that he advocated Justice Hughes for President.

T. as partners in the expenditure of money and in obligations with the development of the dual subway system now under investigation by the Thompson committee. The matter was brought to the attention of the court through a proceeding instituted by Bridge Commissioner Kracke, who claimed that the language of the contract permitted the continuance of bridge toll charges. Toll was levied and collected until the completion of the Center street loop under the contract entered into by railroads and Bridge Commissioner In 1907. "To my mind," says Justice Erlanger, in deciding against the construction would do violence to the apparent purpose and intent of the latter contract.

"There seems to be no question of a conflict of official duty between the Commissioner of Bridges and the Public Service Commission in the making the agreement of 1907, and in its discharge by the agreement of 1918. In each instance the city was the principal and the contract was within the authority delegated to the agent or agents by whom it was concluded. my opinion, the subject of compensation for the use of the tracks was fully covered by Contract No. 4-- that of March 19. 1913-in a manner consistent with the agreement of 1007 Importing discharge of that agreement.

as a matter of intention. "There can be no serious claim of doubt upon the facts that the right of way over the Williamsburg Bridge Involved the use of the same tracks which were the subject of the agreement of 1907. and that the defendant New York Consolidated Railroad Company actually proceeded to Qperate those tracks pursuant to the provision of Contract No. 4 when complying with the resolution of the Publie Service Commission that the Centre Street Loop was ready for The B. R.

T. in its pleadings prerented to Justice Erlanger a claim that Commissioner Kracke's contention was not in accord with the 1913 contract because paying tolls would decrease the amount of earnings applicable for the payment of joint interest charges of the company and the city. Commissioner ICracke had not heard that the decision had been rendered when he was found last night. He did not seem much disturbed. "The Corporation Counsel will.

of course. carry the matter up higher." he sald. "It is a minor matter which does not really affect the toll question. This decision refers only to the ele vated road, while the real question at pertairs to the surface car lines which this decision does not touch. regard the statement issued by the B.

Played Politics in Prison and Prepared Case Against Warden Osborne. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 25-William Willett, former Congressman, now in prison for buying a. Supreme Court nomination from Joseph Cassidy, former Democratic boss of Queens County, has at last been granted a parole, but it will not be effective until April 12. When he is released, he will have served all but three months of the maximum sentence of a year and a. half Imposed by Supreme Court Justice Jaycox.

Cassidy was released on January 25. Willett might have come home at the same time Cassidy did if he had a behaved himself. He and Cassidy applied for a parole before their fines were paid and District Attorney Cropsey, of Brooklyn, who convicted both men, protested against their release. They rushed Into court and paid their Anes, but not until Mr. Cropsey got a court order to set aside their parole applications as having been improperly made.

While Mr. Cropsey's first assistant, Hersey Egginton, was arguing in an up-State court to keep Willett in jail, the latter was parading around Albany, dressed like a fashion plate, unhampered by even the shadow of a guard. Mr. Cropsey was so astonished when he heard this news that he investigated and discovered that Willett had been exceedingly busy for a considerable period during his incarceration in Sing Sing. He was the active agent for brokers and convicts when the latter desired to dabble in Wall Street, was the chief adviser on appeal matters for most of the prisoners and even undertook to "pull wires" in the offices of the Governor of the State and the members of the Parole Board, 80 as to obtain pardons and paroles for fellow convicts.

While Cassidy was a model prisoner in every respect, Willett made himself a sort of political leader in the prison and prepared the case against Warden Thomas Mott Osborne, much of his work being utilized by Dr. Diedling, in his investigation, and by the District Attorney of Westchester County, who prosecuted the indictment against Osborne which was dismissed by Supreme Court Justice Tompkins. PLATTSBURG CAMP DATES Military Training Sessions to Begin June 3. The Plattsburg camp of military instruction will be held again this summer under the supervision of regular army officers.
