Griffin." hatchet in Legion circles had been officially buried after a hearing last night. The hearing was held behind closed doors, and lasted from 9 o'clock to 1:30 a.m. today.

9-Frank Oberyis or was, assistant keeper of the Fire Island lighthouse, the most important along the North Atlantic Coast. Never, until Monday, did he realze how important it is, or how convenient its importance could be. During the past several Constable Patrick MeFall of Saltaire, the summer colony on Fire Island, has been beating on the trail of robbers who systmatically ntrd th vacant cottages on the beach and rifled them at leisure. According to his report, 15 cottages have been robbed and in only one instance was he able to get a glimpse of the marauders. Monday he notified the authorities Strachan, county chairman, who presided, as well as Griffin, declared that 110 statements would be made, but announcement must come from any Col.

E. A. Simmons, now publicity chairman for the Legion. It was Col. Simmons, who was not present at the hearing, who announced today that the outcome of it had been satisfactory.

met together to take up the various statements that had been made," he said. "After certain explanations asked and given it was resolved to bury the hatchet and forget. the whole thing. There was no formal resolution adopted, or anything of that sort. No further action will be taken and the entire matter has been dropped." Griffin appeared to have been subjected to one of the most strenuous, as it was one of the longest, grills at the hands of the committee on record in Legion history.

He was called into the room where the committee sat, on the fourth floor of the county headquarters, 123 Schermerhorn at 9 o'clock last night. With' him was an informal delegation of about a dozen members of his post, headed by Albert Aplustille, first vicechairman, which asked if it would be allowed be present during the hearing. The answer was that Mr. Griffin would be heard alone, but the delegation might be called later. It then remained outside of the room while the hearing went on.

At 10:30 o'clock Alpustille knocked on the door of the committee room and asked: "We would like to know how long this delegation is to wait before we are allowed in." "You'll wait until we get ready," replied Strachan. The Delegation Wins. For more than half an hour longer the grilling continued. Then Charles McCauley, another member of the post delegates, and post historian, was called in, evidently to give further testimony in connection with the "statements" which were not charges. From then on the committee room door was kept locked until just before midnight.

Then the door again opened and they called a third member-Robert Denver. "I refuse to co come Denver said, "and I will not make statements of any kind unless the remainder of the delegation comes me." Griffin asked Denver to come, but he persisted in his stand and finally the executive committee gave way and the entire delegation was allowed in. It consisted by this time only of Alpustille, Denver, Fred Luder, Harry Gunning 5 and McCauley, who was already in. After about an hour of deliberation with the post delegation present, during which loud voices were heard and the gavel was called in several times to procure order, all the Windsor Terrace men, including Griffin, were asked to leave the room while the committee voted on its decision. At 1:30 o'clock Griffin was recalled and the result announced to him.

Pleased With Outcome. The following, in addition to the members of the Windsor Terrace Post, were those present at the hearing: Donald C. Strachan. chairman; Harry Ehrenberg, secretary; Raymond M. Kipp, David Armstrong, Henry Lakestream, Edward L.

Franklin, William Lamb, Thomas F. Ward George Horn, Bart Hunt, Richmond R. Brown, Col. William E. Butler and Mrs.

Irene E. Lamb. All but the last two are members of the County Executive Committee. co Both committee Griffin and the laughing, members and of seemed the were to be pleased with the outcome of the hearing. The delegation from from the post, however, showed emphatic disapproval of the entire proceedings during its continuance and at the "The war is over; this Star Chamber stuff don't go now," Denver said, while waiting to be admitted to the committee room, and the sentiment was repeated by others of the delegation.

While this waiting went on, also, two of the delegates tore up their membership cards and threw away their American Legion buttons in testimony their displeasure with the conduct of the affair. There is talk among the members of the Windsor Terrace Post today of the possibility of wholesale resignations from the Legion and the formation of a Veterans Club not connected with any national veterans organization. ARRESTED FOR DESERTION. Robert Van Horn, 29, a United States Marine, attached to the Navy Yard, was arrested last night at Manhattan ave. and Box st.

DE GOODE GUILTY OF DEFRAUDING WOMAN; FACES 10-YEAR TERM at Bay Shore of the identity of the man he claims to have recognized, and Justice of the Peace Frank Nohowell issued a warrant for Obery.

The charge was burglary in the third degree. It was then that the importance of Obery as reflected on his position as assistant keeper was realized. The chief keeper was absent and it was Obery's duty to keep the light burning. Obviously it was impossible to arrest Obery without providing a substitute and the Bay Shore authorities communicaed wih he Federal auhorities, and requestde anoher lighthouse keeper. Efforts to provide the substitute were unavailing until yesterday noon when the chief, returned and relieved Obery duties.

Obery was arrested. LEGION COMMITTEES "PACKED" BY U. S. BUREAUS, IS CHARGE Organization's Relief Work Thus Handicapped Soldiers' Hospitals Termed Filthy. Washington, Feb.

9-Charges that Government bureaus having to do with soldier relief are "packing the committees of the American Legion with bureau employees who are members of the legion," were made before the legion's executive committee here today by Abel Davis of Chicago, chairman ow the Hospitalization Committee. "As a result the work of the legion in soldier relief matters is being greatly handicapped," said Mr. Davis, who added that at the Cleveland convention "the bureaus licked us to a frazzle in all matters relating to veterans' relief and the legion wondered how it was done." After hearing Mr. Davis, the Executive Committee recommended to the State divisions of the legion that they refrain from appointing Government Bureau employees on their committees. Former service men are being kept in private hospitals that are "indescribably filthy and in which conditions are terrible," Davic told the committee.

He charged that after the men were placed in such hospitals they were left without visits or inspections by representatives of the Public Health Service. He read a report of a survey of a hospital in Illinois made by representatives of the legion. This said that white and negro patients slept in the same rooms; that the pharmacy containing narcotics and rugs of all sorts was left unlocked and that when asked if female patients used the same bathroom as the males, the doctor in charge stated that "the women only remained about two weeks at a time and didn't take any baths." Service men are now being removed from this hospital, Mr. Davis said, as a result of pressure brought to bear on Public Health Service officials. Speaking on the proposed consolidation of the Bureaus of Vocational Education, War Risk Insurance and a part of the Public Health Service, Mr.

Davis declared: "Heads of the bureaus do not get along together, nor do they co-operate for the best interests of the Service men. Statements by them, which they have made to us repeatedly, have no truth in them. They spend the greater part of their time getting up records, in other words preparing their alibis beforehand." JOINS C. C. N.

Y. FACULTY The appointment of Dr. John Frank- lin Crowell, economist, to the staff of the City College of New York, was announced today by Dean Frederick B. Robinson, of the School of Business Administration. Dr.

Crowell will conduct a course in world commerce, which includes a critical study of American foreign trade problems. The course will also cover consideration of the tariff, trade agreements, cable communication, warehousing economy and general American foreign policy. Dr. Crowell was experft for the U. S.

The lectures will open next Thursday evening at the Commerce Building, 23d st. and Lexington ave. Special course in foreign trade and in commercial languages will open shortly at the same building. OPPOSE LOCKWOOD EDUCATION BILL Attempts to pass back to New York City the burden of solving the 000,000 educational deficit for this year do not meet with the approval of local officials.

Although favored by some members of the Board of Estimate, bills recently introduced at Albany are not certain of unanimous approval by the local financial authorities and, in the case of the Lockwood Bill providing for the issue of special 1-year notes for the full amount three members of the Estimate Board are expected to assist in killing the meas-. ures. Meanwhile, the second term of the school year has started and educational officials declare that the money provided is not sufficient to keep the schools open after Oct. 1 with summer activities practically eliminated and extension work greatly curtailed. Plans have been introduced by various members of the Board of Estimate, but no definite action has yet been although reports on the La Guardia plan of a 7 percent reduction by heads of city departments should have been received on Jan.

1. The announced intention of Mr. La Guardia to cast the one vote needed to kill the issuance of special revenue bonds for one year to make up the deficit received added support today. Boro President Riegelmann said today that he would support La Guardia in his fight for a "saving" by the heads of city departments He declared that he has made reductions in his office amounting to $27,000 and in a dredging appropriation of 000 Controller also 'is expectd to oppose the measure on the grounds that the State should take care of the deficit. He has stated repeatedly that the increase in the budget this year is due to the increases in salaries granted the teachers under the law last year.

For this reason his contention is that the deficit should be made up by State aid. The Board of Education is counting on the salary law being made permanent as this will make available in August about $7,000,000 and reduce the deficit. The Board itself effected a reduction in its original budget and has said that further reductions are impossible. Officials are predicting that the money will be forthcoming and that the schools will not be obliged to close, but thus far no steps have been taken to grant the funds. Real Estate Operator Swindled Mrs.

Lena Trimmer of $3,000, It Was Charged. William De Goode, wealthy real estate operator, with offices at 215 Montague was found guilty of grand larceny in the first degree by a jury before Judge George W. Martin in the County Court today. According to the indictment, he obtained $3,000 from Lena Trimmer, of 237 East 25th widow of the late Wesley Sirs. Trimmer, coal merchant, by -fraud.

Mrs. Trimmer broke down when the verdict was announced, as did the 1 youthful wife of De Goode. Assistant District Attorney John Ruston prosecuted the case. De Goode faces a sentence of from 5 to 10 years in Sing Sing, and was remanded until Monday for sentence by Judge Martin. Mrs.

Trimmer alleged that she had lost $30,000 through her dealings with De Godde. The specific amount of $3,000 was given to De Goode by her for a three-eighths interest in two houses. According to the nidictment, De Goode never had the authority to sell the interest. and furthermore, it alleged that the Schnell Realty Company, of which he was president, never owned the houses. In his summation of the jury Assistant District Attorney Ruston referred to De Goode as the "deepest scoundrel in seven States," and said that he became a "dishonest broker, preying upon unsophisticated women." De Good testified that although he had done over $1,000,000 worth of business since 1914 he never kept any books.

In giving his pedigree De Goode said he was 35 years old and lived at 329 83d st. TAKE 18 CHINAMEN IN SANDS ST. RAID Patrolmen Collins, Levy and O'Connell, of Inspector Walsh's staff, made a raid about 10:30 o'clock last night on the fourth floor of 133 Sands st.

None of the neighbors was in court this morning, though. The officers arrested 18 Chinamen, including Loo Sow, who was charged harboring alleged disorderly others. Ching Hing, a sailor. was found with opium in his possession, it was alleged, and was held by Magistrate Brown, in the Adams st. court, for a hearing Monday.

The other Chinamen charged with being disorderly persons. The policemen claimed that they were playing some variation of fan tan. Loo Sow declared on the witness stand that there was no gambling and no risking of. money. "This is house of call for Chinese and coolie sailors," said Sow.

"I have authority from the Government to harbor these men." The prisoners are held while Sow is given a chance to prove his claim.
