BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SATUKDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1931 BEST DRESSED WOMAN RETURNS Fulton St. Tube Tammany Plan Big Slickers House Deal Waste in Food Charge False, iMayor Finds I GETS TWO YEARS i I Justice Hints No Jurisdiction In Election Suit M'Namara Contends Assembly Alone Can Rule on His Right to a Seat rrm.mi kg 4 -V .44 i i 4i (i v.v,: i Jr- St Full Moon Solved Grace Budd Murder Back Bankhead a.s Majority Leader if O'Connor Is Chosen Head of Rules Committee EasU Bnreaa, NatUnal Freia Buildlnf, By CLINTON MOSHER Washington, Dec. 15 Tammany Hall, wise in the game of political bargaining, is credited in high of' ficial circles here with having made a first-class trade in the matter of who is to be in the big Jobs when the next house meets in January. Information obtained by The Eagle from one of those well-known thoroughly reliable sources is that Tammany will back Representative William Bankhead of Alabama, for Majority Leader in return for guarantees that Representative John O'Connor of New York will be made chairman of the all-powerful Rules Committee. If Tammany makes good and goes along, it can swing New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island, or enough to elect the Alabaman.

The gentlemen from New York first put Mr. O'Connor forth as a candidate for Speaker of the House. The real battle there, however, was between Representative Joseph W. Byrne of Tennessee, the Majority Leader and Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas, who was supposed to have been the secret preference of the White House. Garner Gave Up Ghost Vice President Garner came North ahead of time this year to try and put over the election of Mr.

Rayburn, his fellow statesman. He looked over the situation, the insistence of Mr. Byrne, his seniority and decided the cause was lost. When "Cactus Jack" rendered that decision, the case was lost then and there. Mr.

Rayburn retired from the field of competition and so did the lesser lights, including Mr. O'Connor. The next best thing was to battle for O'Connor for Majority Leader. On the surface, they are still angling for that place for their favorite son. But ahead of Mr.

O'Connor, in the opinion of those on the inside, were Mr. Bankhead and Representative John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, the latter probably being the strongest of the three, since he is the youthful chairman of the subcommittee investigating the activities of Nazi's in this country. Also in the running was and is Representative James Mead of Buf falo, chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads and who a decade ago was a District of Columbia policeman. The Tammany boys put their heads together and decided to swap votes with the Bankhead forces, O'Connor for chairman of rules.

The point is the New York City Democrats have no particular love for the father of the famous screen and stage star, but they want Mr. Bankhead's present job, which is the coveted post of Chairman of Rules. In order to get this place for Mr. O'Connor, they are de lighted to boost up the staircase Alabama's pride and joy. For the benefit of those whose knowledge of Washington is limited to a speaking acquaintance with the Washington Monument and the Smithsonian Institution, the busi ness of running the rule committee is not to be sneezed at.

The Chairman of Rules Is somebody spelled with capital letters. If, for the purpose of comparison, you picture House Legislation as the Denies Veal or Vegetables Spoiled as Alder men Had Been Told According to Mayor LaGuardia, distribution of relief fxxls in the city was not carrieu on with the losses testified to by Carl Anderson, head of the food and clothing distribution division of the Welfare Department, before the Board of Aldermen. Anderson had told a committee the State TERA had sent him pounds of cabbage when he had asked for only 300,000 pounds and that surplus potatoes estimated at 1.200.000 pounds had frozen in a Brooklyn warehouse. He also testified 11,000,000 pounds of veal could not be moved from the Bronx Terminal Market because cutting machines were not available. Mayor Gives Report The Mayor, In reply, said yesterday: "There is no oversupply of cabbage.

The last shipment of cabbage was im carloads, sixty went to New Jersey, 51 have been distributed and 73 remain to be distributed a ten-day supply. "There have been jo excess shipments of potatoes here except recently, when cold weather struck Maine and two shiploads were sent here to prevent them from freezing. That amounted to 140,000 bags, all of which were properly stored in heated warehouses, except 20,000 bags which were sent to a corrugated iron warehouse in Brooklyn. The Denei is tnat only tne outside bags of that lot were frozen. Meat Saws O.

This KroUD reeards Moses ns a lih- eral in spite of the fact of his' nomination with the full support of the Old Guard In the State organization. Moses contributed much of the reform legislation credited with building Governor Alfred E. Smith into a national figure while he was one of Smith's advisors.

Yawning Woman On Her Sixth Day Round Grove, 111., Dec. 15 The yawning woman is improving, but physicians are wondering now if she will become the "sneezing woman." While they puzzlca over the condition of Mrs. Harold McKee, 35, they recalled another case in Chicago where a 15-ycar-old girl who yawned for days, and then began sneezing, and eventually gave way to yawning again. Mrs. McKee yawned into her sixth day today.

TORTURED HIM f. -v lr If' Next October, Says Carpenter Civic Leader Says Demo' lition of 'L' Should Im- mediately Follow Demolition of the Fulton St. elevated from East New York to Brook lyn Bridge was described as "the greatest civic development to which Brooklyn can look forward with confidence," in a statement by Herbert L. Carpenter, president of the Brooklyn Central Mid-Day Club and chairman of the City Committee on Subway Completion. Following an inspection trip by 22 members of the executive and tran sit committees of the Mid-Day Club to the Franklin Ave.

and Bedford Ave. stations of the new Fulton St. subway line yesterday, Mr. Carpenter announced the line should be op erating by October, 1935, and that the tearing down of the elevated should follow almost immediately, if the present rate of construction is maintained. Already Awarded He said that 28 out of 66 contracts required to complete the line had already been awarded and that eight more would be awarded within the next few days.

"I feel confident," he said, "that with consistent pressure on the contractors, particularly those who are finishing up the signal equipment, the line will be operating by October, 1935." Members of the inspection group unanimously passed a resolution approving immediate starting of work on the 6th Ave. subway in Manhattan, between W. 8th St. and 53d described by Mr. Carpenter as the "heart and keystone" of the city-owned system.

Will Give Impetus He predicted that the opening of the Fulton St. line would give great impetus to modernization and renovation in the central Brooklyn section, which "has been dormant for 15 years." The members who made the Inspection were: Walter Torresson, chairman of the transit committee; Howard W. Weekes, secretary; Edward W. Havlland, treasurer: Byron M. Connell, Henry G.

Lindbergh Jr. kidnaping case, will not be convicted of the murder charge, was expressed here last night by Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon. Dr.

Condon stopped in Palm Beach last night. He said he is investigating purported clues given him in 2,500 letters bearing on the case. "No one saw Hauptmann kill the baby. I don't think they can convict him," Dr. Condon said.

He said he believed there are greater chances of conviction on charges of extortion and of possessing Lindbergh ransom money. He said he would return to New Jersey in time for the opening of Hauptmann's trial on Jan. 21. Lawyers Want to See Ransom Notes Flemington, N. Dec.

15 W) Bruno Richard Hauptmann's attorneys want a look at the Lindbergh ransom notes before their client goes on trial Jan. 2 for the kidnap-slaying of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. Attorney General David T. Wl-lentz received a formal request from defense counsel yesterday for permission to examine the notes, the kidnap ladder and a chisel found near the Hopewell home of Colonel Lindbergh after the kidnaping.

Trenton, N. Dec. 15 OP) "A fairy tale" was the way a high State official today characterized pub lished reports that traces of human blood had been found In the trunk on the back of the automobile of Hauptmann. (limits iilHD fMM liquid and the house as the bottle, rules Is the neck of the aforementioned receptacle. Brother Has Influence Representative O'Connor is the brother of Basil O'Connor, Manhattan lawyer, intimate and former partner of the President.

Brother Basil appears here and there in high places. Like the Chairman of Rules, he is not to be sneezed at. If Tammany's plan goes through, there will not be any sneezing at either of the O'Connors. How this arrangement will be taken at the White House remains to be seen. At first blush, the combination of Mr.

Byrne in the chair and Mr. Bankhead on the floor would appear to be too much dignity and importance below the Mason and Dixon line. One can almost hear the revived Republicans in the next national campaign shouting: "The South is in the saddle! To arms!" Army Secrets Face Inquiry Continued from Page 1 funds to Inquire into banking, shipbuilding and steel in connection with its munitions inquiry. "Next week will ue a mighty interesting one," Senator Vandenberg Mich.) said today. Hurley Faces Quiz Anticipating mo-e funds to continue the Inquiry, the committee has asked Patrick J.

Hurley, former Secretary of War and chairman of the War Policies Commission, to tell in January about the policy board's recommendations for moves against war profits. The committee heard Arthur C. Carnduff, former special attorney In the Justice Department, testify yesterday that the Government failed to audit properly a powder plant account of the du Ponts. He said Attorney General Daugherty in 1923 removed him from the ca- at a time when he believed the company owed the Government at least $900,000. The du Ponts, disputing this slurply, said Government auditors examined everything minutely, at one time turning thumbs down on $2 for a fountain pen because the pen was lost.

Alger Hiss, committee Investi gator, contended the du Pont com- any had made a profit of $1,956,000, or 39,231 percent, at no financial risk from the Old Hickory powder plant tiear Nashville, Tenn. Pierre S. du Pont said the statement was so ridiculous it should have no place in tne record. Ogden Mills Asks Senate Retraction The Senate Munitions Committee had before it today a letter from former Secretary of the Treasury Mills demanding it retract its report listing him among 181 individuals with annual Incomes of $1,000,000 during one or more of the years irom 1915 to 1918. Mr.

Mills stated that, In including his name on the list, the committee was "guilty of an error which I must ask you to correct." He said his Income during that period had averaged $138,000 annually; that none of it was "remotely connected with the munitions business except, conceivably, dividends received on 250 shares of Lackawanna Steel Company. He suggested the committee might have confused him with his father, the late Ogden Mills. shrewd wit speeded up the tempo of his sightreeing, going from the Aquarium to a cocktail party on Washington Square and from a show in Radio City to a night club in Harlem. Earlier In the day he included in his tour a visit to the White Star liner Majestic, first transatlantic liner he had seen. DOO Lost; terrier, white, black, markings.

Fish," King said. After King showed him a batch of missives, bearing the alias James M. Pell, Frank Robert E.

Hayden, Albert H. Fish, Robert E. Hazlen, the prisoner is said to have admitted they were all his handwriting. Fish also, according to Detective King, admitted having written many letters to the dead girl's mother. The contents of these letters King refuses to divulge at this time.

The police have a trunkful of letters purported to have been written by Fish. They will be used for "investigation gojing deeper into other cases," Detective King said. Numerous decoy letters had been sent out to trap the old painter, but he somehow never called for them. When Detective King was assigned to the case, on June 4, 1928, he said he called at the Budd home at 406 W. 15th St.

and learned that the Budd family consisted of five children and a boarder. Composite Photo Tallies "The day before little Grace was taken away, Fish called at the house and presented them with pot cheese and strawberries contained in agate quart cans. King later learned that Fish had bought the gray agate cans from a pushcart peddler on 2d Ave. It was after thus ingratiating himself into the Budd family that Fish made the overtures to take little Grace to a birthday party. Fish at this time lived at 40 E.

100th St. on the ground floor in the rear. A clever piece of police work was the composite picture Detective King had made of eight pictures he had Mrs. Budd view. These were photos of suspects and of persons resembling in appearance the kidnaper.

The composite bears a striking resemblance to the old prisoner, and was said by King to have aided him materially in "finding his nan." Detective King's search for his quarry took him to Havana, Cuba; Florida and towns and cities in the West on wild goose chases. A suspect whom Mrs. Budd had "picked out as the man she saw walk off with her little girl," was a man by the name of James Pell, a building superintendent, of 77th St. and Madison Ave. Pell went to trial but the udge directed an order for acquittal on King's recommendation or testimony, as King did not believe Pell guilty.

King's diary contains many other interesting suspects he has worked. Detective King was appointed to the Police Department, May 4, 1907. In 1932 he could have retired on pension. But he was intent on making the Fish catch, and succeeded but only after many hours of travel and many sleepless nights. The hard work soon took Its toll, for from overwork the clever sleuth suffered a nervous breakdown and was confined for three months to the French Hospital In 1929.

The Intensive work during the past few months has also told on King. Promotion Loom for King Police Commissioner Louis J. Valentine paid him a glowing tribute for "breaking this Important case." King is In line for a promotion which may raise his pay to $4,000 a year. He now is a second-grade detective at 3,200 a year. He is married and lives at the Hotel Dixie on W.

44th Manhattan. Toreador Franklin Files $100,000 Suit Sidney Franklin, Brooklyn's toreador, has a $100,000 suit on file in the Manhattan Supreme Court today against the Movietone News, charging the company with defamation of character. Franklin says that he is a professional bullfighter, actor and lecturer, and that when he permitted the movietone folk to take pictures of him tn various bullring attitudes, he thought they were to be used only for newsreel purposes. Instead, he alleges, they sold the films to the Bray Pictures Corporation, which "ii thorn in a picture called th: Cull." Justice Wenzel In Supreme Court has reserved decision on the application of Alfred J. Giordano for an prder that would prevent Assemblyman Daniel J.

McNamara Jr, reelected by the Democrats last month, from representing the 9th A. D. Giordano was the Republican candidate. His attorney, Abner C. Sur-pless, contended the court should order the Board of Elections to voke McNamara's certificate of election on the ground he was disqualified by reason of the fact that less than 100 days before election he held a position in the Federal Government as counsel and expert in the Home Owners Loan Corporation and that he received about $1,600 In pay on a per diem basis.

Question of Law Surpless had made an offer to iubmit proof of McNamara's connection with the HOLC, but Justice Wenzel said he would not hear it and would decide the matter on the law only. Edmond McCarthy, attorney for McNamara, said the courts have no jurisdiction after an election has been held and that the Legislature now Is the sole judge of who is qualified to membership in the State Assembly or Senate. "I have had no recent occasion to examine that phase of the law, but I am of the opinion now that it Is solely a question for the Legislature," said Justice Wenzel. "However, I shall be glad to get briefs from counsel on both sides. Submit them by Dec.

Surrogate Halts Family Row Over Estate of Wingate Awards Husband, Cut Off With SI, One-third of the Property Assaling what he trmned "an "atrocious competition of calumny" in which "adultery, conspiracy and even murder have been charged or Intimated," Surrogate Wingate today settled the family dispute over settlement of the $90,000 estate of Mre. Celia Sidman, who died Oct. 23, 1933. Despite a will, which left the husband, Mannie, of 3729 Lyme Sea Gate, only $1, the Surrogate awarded one-third of the estate to Mr. Sidman, at the same time attacking the family struggle which had aligned "father against Bon and brother against sister." Two of the Sidman children consented to yield to the father's claim of one-third the estate, but a third child maintained that the will should be upheld.

Job Subsidy Plan Goes to Perkins Eagle Birtan, National Press Building. Washington, Dec. 15 Secretary of Labor Perkins and the President's Committee on Economic Se-cuity had before them today a new unemployment insurance plan providing for a Federal subsidy to States meeting certain national standards in job insurance legislation which will be passed in 1935. Big business representatives on the committee's advisory council voted with President William Green of the A. F.

of L. for the plan, which would supersede the Wagner-Lewis lion-subsidy plan, now enjoying ad-ministrtaion favor. The council's vote on the plan was 9 to 7. The subsidy plan's advantages the Wagner-Lewis scheme is that the Federal Government could compel States to enact progressive Job insurance laws under penalty of for-leating the Federal subsidy.

She was sentenced to two years in the Federal reformatory for women at Akderson, W. Va. Other Slaying Victims Sought Continued from Page 1 the trial would start shortly after the first of the year.

The authorities were especially Interested in ascertaining if the dwarfed house painter knew anything about the mysterious disappearance of little William Gaffney, who vanished from his home at 99 15th St. In February, 1927, and has not been heard of since. The child was 4 years old at the time. Quizzed in Three Cases Fish has already been questioned at length concerning the Gaffney boy's disappearance, and also in connection with the kidnaping and slaying of Mary O'Connor, 15, near Massapequa last February. In addition.

Inspector Harold King of the Nassau County police has grilled him about the Collings case in which Benjamin B. Collings was murdered in 1931 on his yacht in Long Island Sound. The Budd girl slayer has firmly denied any connection with any of these crimes and the authorities were inclined to discount the possibilities that he was involved in the O'Connor or Collings cases on the ground that he apparently was Interested only in small children. As the authorities speeded completion of the evidence against Fish in anticipation of his transfer to Westchester County, the dentist who performed work on the child's teeth several years ago at the old New York Hospital was to be called in today to examine two gold fillings found in the teeth of the skull. The police last night discovered a dental chart showing that Grace had been treated at the hospital.

The belief is that the dental work found in both Jaws of the skull will establish beyond any question of doubt the identity of the skull as that of the butchered child. The police have already found a skeleton which they are convinced is that of the victim. The evidence piling up against the confessed slayer now includes, in addition to the physical remains, a saw and cleaver discovered close to the skeleton, a number of pearl beads from a necklace the child is said to have worn and shoes believed to be those worn by Grace.

Anyhow, I really think the full of the i loon had something to do with my catching him." Fish told Detective King he was the youngest of a family of six, that he was born in Washington, D.

and that he had attended school there as high as the eighth grade. His brother, a sailor, told him stories of famines in China, and how young boys and girls were hung up like cattle, eaten alive. These gruesome tales, the slinking old man told King, afforded him great delight. To further satisfy his sadistic tastes, he would read assidously all literature that had anything to do with being eaten alive. Fish related with fiendish glee to Detective King the cannibalistic episodes in the Peary expedition.

Wrote Many Sex Letters "I can't read enough of this stuff," King quoted the wizened old house painter, who boasted his penchant for anything that savored of dissolute revelries. And in the thousands of letters that Fish has written since he lured little Grace Budd to her wooded grave, he never failed to touch upon some sadistic pleasure, King revealed. "He is an inveterate letter writer. He is known to have closeted himself in his furnished room on E. 52d St.

and written from 9 a.m. till midnight. He would get the names of people who looked for furnished rooms; parents seeking boarding schools lor their boys and girls in the newspapers. He writes splen- aiaiy line nanawntlng like a highly educated person. The letters would start off in a regular businesslike fashion.

And then in would seep the sex stuff," Detective King stated. As a result of this unusual epistolary habit. Fish woulri rprpivp many letters by every mail. Even special aenvery letters. Fish several years before the commission of the ghastly crime worked as caretaker at the Second Presbyterian Church, Tarrytown.

One year before the murder hp fnM tective King, he had worked in a similar capacity at Dr. Kyle's School for Boys, at Flushing. Quarry Led Merry Chase Fish has a married daughter, Mrs. Ralph Collins, livine at M-ni a- toria Boulevard, Astoria. The couple have two children.

When the elderly Fish a.scert.ainprf that the check could not be honored by His married laughter because she herself was receiving Home Relief, he wrote his son, requesting that he, Fish, be made the recipient.

It was the information that a "Mr. Burke," who had moved away, returned periodically to the E. 52d St. rooming house to get a CCC check, which convinced King that ne was on tne right trail. From Dec.

King said that on Dec. 9 or 10 he sent the letter containing rhp hpoir to the finance office at Fort Ogle- tnorpe, stating thereon "Not known at this address." From D.m. till midnight nn rw 11 King returned to "cover" the Col lins- nome, ne sam. But his efforts were futile. It was at noon on Dec.
