Washington, March 21 In the most dramatic hearing thus far held Senator Wheelers committee this afternoon unearthed a gigantic bootlegging conspiracy in which Howard Mannington, friend of Attorney General Daugherty, was charged with being a principal. John Gorini, president of the Alps Drug Company of New York, testified that $200,000 had been paid over to a combination for whisky withdrawal permits between May and August, 1921.

Gorini himself handed $50,000 in cash, in denominations of $1,000 bills, to William A. Orr of New York, another friend of the Attorney General. It appeared that a total of about $250,000 had been paid for withdrawal permits alone. The price charged was $15 a case.

-Eastern Extension Back to Com-. mittee After Hearing. Committee of 1,000 May Make New Subway Fight Appeals are being made to the heads of the former Subway Committee of 1,000, which forced Mayor Hylan to act last summer on the Crosstown Subway, to get on the Job again and save the plan from being ditched by the Mayor's new move for delay and substitution of some other line. Frank D. Waterman, chairman, who Is now in Florida, was queried by The Eagle as to his attitude.

He telegraphed as follows: "My opinion is still that we need more subways, and need them at once, if enough other people think the same way, no further delay will be tolerated. I am not Interested in the political aspect of the question." His statement indicated that he was prepared to take up the fight again. Mr. Waterman will return to the city! about April 1, and the question of a move by the Subway Committee of 1,000 will be taken up then. Mayor Hylan today took further steps to delay the building of subways for the people of Brooklyn.

He denied the pleas of citizens to act on the agreement with the B. M. T. for the building of the 14th st. eastern extension as a subway and referred the question to the committee of the whole.

Wednesday he blocked ac-tioin on the crosstown subway which, after ho had approved it last summer, the Transit Commission had advanced to the point whero it was ready to let contracts for actual ligglng. Today tho Mayor forced the whole plan back into the Committee of the Whole, even after his own appointed Transit Committee, headed by Commissioner John H. Dclaney. had reported In favor of approving the Lafayette ave, connection with the 4th avo. tube the only miction that had heretafore been in dispute.

Tho 1 1th st. extension was the rausc of much discussion at the meeting oi" tho board. Alderman Louis Zcttler, who represented a largo delegation from the lStishwick district, said that the residents of that part of the city were greatly opposed to the line connecting with tlu) elevated. A delegation from the Ridgcwood Rection was he'aded by James B. Kmcrlck, who said that the residents of Rldgewood were in favor of having the line built as already planned.

BOLDEST BANDIT IN 5DJ0LDUP5 Mackie Says He and Two Pals Did All of Jobs Here Within 5 Weeks. Herbert Mackie, 26, characterized today by the authorities as the boldest bandit in Brooklyn, has admitted to Assistant District Attorney Joseph V. Gallagher that in company with two other gunmen he had taken part in 50 boro holdups in five weeks. Mackie pleaded guilty before County Judge W. Bernard Vause to an indictment charging robbery in the first degree.

The specific for which ho was indicted was the holdup of Herman Albrecht In his delicatessen store at 645 Rogers ave. on the night of Jan. 28. Albrecht told the polle'e three men with drawn revolvers entered the store, backed him Into a rear room and rifled the cash register. Mackie.

According to Mackie's confession, the threo men carried out the 50 robberies and holdups during the five weeks preceding Feb. 7, the day Morris Diamond wont on trial for his life in the Supreme Court. He said that as many as six jobs had been committed in a single night.

In each, they approached their vic tim with loaded rovolvcrs. took his money and valuables and escaped in a motorcar driven by tho third bandit. Mackie said they had a room on 4th where they lived, and another on 10th st. that served ns nil arsenal. Among the guns found by the police In the 10th st.

room was a sawed-off shotgun that figured in number of holdups. Mackie nlso told Assistant District Attorney Gallagher that they usually abandoned tho motorcar after they had effected their escape and that when they wanted to do another Job, thev would steal another car. Ho said they had taken as many as 39 cars. Mackie said that he had told Heaney and McCullough not to shoot. 'I told them that wnen a person is being held up they are very nervous and llablo to make some funny moves but that they only did so because thev were excited," said Mack ie.

I told them if they ever had to shoot to shoot at the leg so that we wouldn't be Jacked up for murder. "Only once did we shoot and that was when a cop was after us. The bullets went wild and escaped. Once a girl tried to get out of a store we were robbing, but I grabbed her by the arm and told her to be quiet and we wouldn't hurt her." Mackie was brought to Brooklyn last week from Rahway Reformatory, at Rahway. N.

Adv. BLOCKS SUBWAY CONFESSES TRADERS TO ANGER "Protection, Not Persecu tion," Says Commis- sioner O'Malley. Local pushcart peddlers are highly exercised today over what they tovm financial and physical persecution by the Department of Public Markets. Their loudest protests are being sounded against the new license plates, for which the department Is exacting; $1 from each man. "We already pay an annual $5 fee for a license to the License Bureau," Is the burden of their complaint, "and we also pay to the Department of Public Markets $1 a week for permission to peddle our wares.

Must we now pay the Public Markets Department another dollar for another license?" Charles H. Levy of Court nt, attorney for the Brooklyn Pushcart Peddlers' Association; Nathan Fin-kelsteln of 87 Moore president of the organization, and several peddlers Interrogated by an Ergle reporter were all of tho opinion that this new tax imposed by the Public Markets Department ls duplication of the province of the License Bureau, Mr. Levy further declares it to be his opinion that this new $1 charge is Illegal. 650 Bora Peddlers Affected. The new license plates, issuance of which began last Monday, are 5 by 3 inch tin plates, in blue and white, inscribed with the pcddler'B license numbers and the legend; "New York City Pushcart Market Dealer, 1924, Department of Public Markets." In exchange for his dollar each peddler receives one of these plates and a yellow slip similar to other license forms.

The paper states that the licensed peddler shall receive "this license and plate for $1." Of the city's 8,000 pushcart peddlers affected by this new license form, 650 are Brooklyn purveyors. Brooklyn has three pushcart centers, known respectively as the Bushwlck, Manhattan and Dclmonico Place markets. Queried about these plates. Edwin .1. O'Malley.

Commissioner of Public Markets, said: Plates Issued for Protection. "I have issued these plates for the protection of the peddlers themselves, for the protection of the public and for tho convenience of the 124 inspectors assigned to these markets. L'p to the present peddlers carried no identification other than the permit issued by this office and tho weekly receipt for the dollar they are charged for the rental oi street, space. Unlicensed peddlers might slip into the position of a licensed peddler at any time without aroufung an inspector's suspicions, as they displayed nothing In the way of Identification. Permits and weekly receipts are carried in the pockets.

"Sometimes, too a shopper may buy spoiled produce from a peddler or be short-changed. The victim aljln to report the offender's number, conspicuously displayed on the cart through these number plates, is certain of remedial justice. "There is an urgent need for somo such provision as these plates, and romebody has to pay for them. It Mould bo unfair to charge it to the taxpayers at large: not every citizen patronizes the pushcart. After all, it amounts to less than 2 cents a we.ek.

Breaking; Vp Forma of Graft. "We can't tell every pushcart peddler of our plans, but in connection with this plate business we intend also to provide night parking spaces for pushcarts. And that Is where the rub comes In connection with the kicks over this dollar. All of the kicks of the peddlers are instigated by little cliques, who are opposed to all forms of departmental supervision because it Is breaking up their particular forms of graft, "With regard to the authority on which I am making the peddlers pay the dollar for these license plates, that is fully provided in Article 22, Sec. 261, of tho Farms and Markets Law of 1923.

This law empowers the Commissioner of Public Markets to fli the fees for services and priv ileges for pushcart markets and to make tho rules for the governing of these markets. Complains of Violence. Complaints of physical persecution camo from the Bushwick cen-ler. A case In point is that of Louis Margolls, proprietor of a dry goods cere at 13 Moore and of a pushcart before bis establishment. In the following open letter he aired his grievance: "To the Honorable Mayor Hylan and the People of New York: I put my plea for justice by asking you If jn Assistant Supervisor of Public Markets has a right to give me a licking and call me vulgar names because I went to him and asked a favor that he leave a space between two carts to the entrance of my store.

'When I went to Deputy Commissioner Mrs. Louies Welzmiller to tell her my story and show her how he disfigured my face, she told me that I was too fresh and to shut up. She threatened to revoke my permit and also ordered two of her men to put me out of her office." The left side of Margolls face was swollen and his left ear was striped with court-plastor when he was seen yesterday, though the alleged assault took place a week ago. "Margolls" complaint is badly distorted," Mrs. Welzmiller declared.

"Margolls hadn't a single mark on Ills face when he came into this office at 3 o'clock last Wednesday to complain. Following his visit to this office I revoked Margolls' pushcart license. I did that because he was Insolent. Tho license I subsequently restored. But it was only restored until I have time to make a thorough investigation of this case."

Oil Man's Lawyers Cite Senate Resolution and Suit to Annul Teapot Leases as Bar to Further Inquiry by Congress Committee Divided on Compelling Sinclair to Testify.

Washington, March 21 Counsel for Harry F. Sinclair waged an inconclusive two-hour legal battle with the Oil Committee today in an effort to have their client excused trom further questioning. Challenging the committee's authority to proceed with the Inquiry after the validity of the leases already had been passed upon In a resolution of Congress, and contending that in "fairness and justice" Sinclair should not be compelled to lestity while charges of fraud appending against him In tho courts, Martin W. Littleton of the Sinclair counsel told committee members that their course was a "monstrous proposition and an "outrage." Senator Walsh, the committee prosecutor did not agree with the Sinclair attorney, but sonic committeemen wanted more time to think it over and adjournment was taken without a decislod. Tho argument will be resumed tomorrow, probably in open session.

While today's discussion was in progress the oil whose lease of Teapot Dome was the starting point of the oil inquiry, sat at the committee table, apparently confident that in the end he would be excused from testifying. His counsel did not predict what other legal privileges might be Invoked later in his behalf, but Littleton repeatedly accused the committee of attempting to drive him into a position where he would have to assume the "odium" of refusing to answer, like Albert B. Fall, on tho ground that It might incriminate him. Littleton's Statement. "You have passed upon the validity of these liases," Littleton said, "and as far as the legislative ad judication can be effective you have legislated the leases to be void and have legislatively Imposed an injunction with regard to tho property.

"You have established a policy of tho Government on this subject, and anything you claim would be only a detail which would not warrant the further examination of my client in this matter. "You not only say that the leases were void, but tho language you use Ir very broad and tho policy you have established is very definite. You have declared the policy of this Government is that the oil should he maintained in the ground as a great reserve supply to meet a national emergency. You have thus dis charged all the duties placed in your hands. "What Is it your committee is investigating that entitles you to take my client, who has been here time and again with books and papers, and Bay 'You must testify "Have you any jurisdiction wnicn entitles vou to do so under the standards and precedents of the American Government? Questions Right to Call Witnesses.

The right of Congressional com mittees to call witnesses and papers from all over the country to aid in framing legislation, the attorney argued, never has been sustained by the court. "Has it ever been denied? asked Senator Walsh, tho committee prosecutor. "No, but it has been questioned, was the reply. There was a long colloquy between Littleton and Senators as to tho rights of Congressional committees to summon witnesses. Sinclair's counsel contended that the commit tee was without any vesuge or ower.

"If vour Ideas should prevail," said Senator Dill. Democrat. Washington, "this committee might as well close Its doors and quit." Should Quit or Do Work legally. "It should cither quit or do Its work In a Constitutional fashion," replied Littleton. 'As I understana iur.

L.imcron position," said Senator Walsh, "It is that members of Congress arc obliged for thu purpose of informing themselves concerning contemplated legislation to depend upon toe press, their talks with individuals and other voluntary information, which anybody may be willing to giva them, but they cannot compel anybody to come before a committee and tell it the facts." "Senator, your statement is facetious," Littleton said. "Oh, It is not," returned Senator Wjalsh. "It is a statement of Calling attention that the government had brought civil suit in Wyoming against tho Mammoth Oil Company in which fraud was charged against Sinclair. Littleton said this was another reason why his client should not bo questioned further. "He (Sinclair) Is personally changed In this bill (the government bill of I'omplaint) with a conspiracy to defraud the government," Littleton said, adding that It was doubtful that Sinclair could be compelled to testify even In court because of that charge.

Argument Grows Heated. The argument grew more and more heated. Finally Senator Spencer. Republican, Missouri, suggested that the power of Congress to compel attendance of witnesses sheruld be passed upon as quickly as possible. Littleton agreed, but was unable to advance a method by which the question could be settled.

As a matter of "fairness and justice." the attorney said. Sinclair should not be compelled to testify under the existing circumstances. The rules of evidence, he said, are not observed by a Congressional commiitee-. He then declared flatly he did not believe the committee had a right In law to go now into a matter already before the courts and "prejudice the case."

Adv. A little woman of 82, who inspired one of the tenderest love songs of a century, died alone Wednesday night in a rooming house at 1314 Kings Highway. The love song, "Sliver Threads Among the Gold," alienated her from her two children surely as strange a rolo as ever was played by a ballad of sentiment. She was Mrs. Harriet Danks, who will be burled In the New Union Field Cemetery this afternoon, fol lowing simple services at the Leffcrts Place Chapel.

The song was written by her husband, Hart P. Danks, who i credited with the authorship of more than 1.000 songs. He was at one time basso profundo of Grace Church, Manhattan, and the song was inspired by his wife in tho days before they separated. Danks willed his widow one-third of his estate, his hree children two-thirds. Law suits against the publisher and law suits against each other marked the past decade for the Danks family Mrs.

Danks, her son Albert V. Danks of '920 E. 7th St. and two daughters, Gertrude and Mrs. Albertha Danks Builder, the last named having since died.

Song Breaks Vp Family. Mrs. Danks believed she should get the entire amount, and Gertrude sued Albert, as eexcutor, for failure to give her her share of her father's estate. The sweet oil love song caused a complete estrangement between mother, daughter and son, bringing as much unhappiness Into the Danks family as the famous suit of Jarndyce vs. Jarndycc, in "Bleak House." Old things, of course, aro not necessarily best but there is a sen tlmcnt about "Silver Threads Among the Gold" that produces tender thoughts about the time when life is young and bright and the future lies ahead.

Today on radio and grapho-phone young peoplo hear the song thrummed on tne ngni guitar or me piano by their grandparents, a song based on tne nappy orcam mat. love never dies. Alas for sentiment. Poor Danks, never very much of a business man riled alone In a Race Philadel phia, lodging house in cm ran red from his wife, to whom in 1874, ho had composed the tender air which lovers, young and old, sing softly to each other at twilight. Ho also gave the world that other favorite, "Don't Bo Angry with Me, Darling." In his personal case, the hope that his Harriet would be.

"ever young ana fair lo mo uia not come true, Wrangle Over Royalties. Then began the wrangle over the rovaltios on the love song. Albert had been made executor by Ms father. His mother and sister were not satisfied with his administration and demanded an accounting. On Aug.

3. 1921, Danks filed a compulsory accounting, saying all he had eollectea on tne song was 1310.96. His sister objected and he filed a supplementary accounting for $24,306. He was tnon oraerou to pay his sister her share of this sum, 15.094, which he has never done. On Nov.

10, 1922, Justice John P. fclahan sipntd an order directing the Sheriff of Kings County to arres Danks, but the Sheriff has never been able to effect service. The or der has never been rescinded. This order followed the action of Ger. trude Danks to get her share of the loyalties love song.

"Thousands and thousands of dol lars in royalties on 'Silver Threads, Amonr tne Gold' have been paid to Albert Danks by the Gordon estate, which I represent, said Frank Cotton ot 256 Broadway, Manhat tan. "I don't know what Danks has done with this money. It was given to him as administrator of his lather estate." "The Danks family have never gotten one penny from "Silver Threads Among the Gold." said Kf-flngham L. Holywell of DO Court attorney for Albert V. Dunks.

"No money has been realized from the song, but the heirs of the pub lisher have offered to settle out of court for 14.000. Danks will not accept this. The matter has been in the courts for seven or eight years. Once the Danks heirs got a judgment for $13,000 which was reversed on appeal. The publishers have never paid a dollar of royalties on this song." is the only way to foster the welfare and prosperity of the Empire.

Viscount Takahashl, at one timo Premier and today leader of the largest political party in the Japanese Lower House, has also often voiced his fears that revolutionary dangers were looming on a distant horizon it is true, but. still a horizon that is not so distant that the far-seeing cannot vision it. Is the allegiance that the Japanese people unswervingly, unstintlngly and unquestionably have accorded the Imperial family on the wane as the result of the flood of new thought that rushed in since the war? I sought a reply from people in various walks of life, from peers and commoners, from clerks and educationalists, from avowed conservatives and blatant radicals. The consensus was that such was not tho case; that the affection and esteem in which the nation holds the refgn-Ing house has not weakened one Jot or tittle, but that, with the spread of education and the broadening of the minds of the present generation, especially In the larger cities, there is no longer the desire or the feeling to look upon the Imperial family as divine.

A blond, good-looking, bobbed-haired young woman of 24, of the show girl type, said by her attorney to be the wife of Albert E. Gui-mares, the young man who was one of the close friends of the murdered Dot King, was arraigned In the Washington Heights Police Court today chargeil with acting in concert with an unidentified man in an attempted robbery. Because she is a bobbed-haired blonde, tho nature of the offense charged and the recent operations of the bobbed-haired blond bandit who has set Brooklyn by the enrs the arraignment attracted un unusual crowd.

Victims of Brooklyn's female gun-toter had been invited over to Manhattan to look at the defendant for purposes of comparison, but none of them appeared, or if they did they kept sedulously in the background. N'o victim from Brooklyn made his presence known. Held in $7,500 Kail. The young woman identified herself on the back of the complaint papers as Betty Santos. 24, a mo lei, of 700 Riverside Drive and in a large hand wrote, "I am not guilty." To reporters she declined to make any statement, except a brief and general denial.

She was held in 87.500 bail by Magistrate Kyttenberg for examination on next Tuesday, after her lawyer, Frederick Goldsmith, had protested vigorously against the requests of De puty Assistant District Attorney Auleta that bail be set at $20,000. Goldsmith argued that tho ball ought not to be any higher than the amount fixed when she was bailed ou." last night, $3,000. The attempted robbery alleged took place at the tailor store of Charles Bernstein. 1293 St. Nicholas at 8:45 o'clock last night.

Tockla Kurland, a niece of Mrs. Bernstein, said that she saw the woman leave a motorcar in company with a man, who escaped, and enter the store. She said that while the bobbed-hatred one engaged Mrs. Marie Bernstein in conversation about a fur coat which she carried on her arm and which she wanted repaired the man remained near the front of the store and eventually seized a bolt of cloth valued at $96, with which he tried to make off. Man Fled, Leaving Cloth.

About the same time Mrs. Bernstein decided that the chic and smiling blonde was playing a part in the attempted robbery and seized her, calling to her husband, who was then entering the door, to stop the man. Mr. Bernstein grappled with him. Ho left his overcoat be hind and ran, a bolt of cloth fall ing to the floor.

Outside was a Cadillac car, or which the police took possession. They also took away the fur coat of Mrs. Guimarcs a mink garment which she had asked Mrs. Bernstein to rellne. and which Mrs.

Bernstein told reporters did not need rehning, since it was comparatively new. It ik a coincidence that Dot King, or Dorothy Keennn, bad a mink coat which was missing when she was found chloroformed. The voung woman protested lo 1ho police that depriving her of her eout might lead to serious consequences, since she was clad in an evening gown, but she was told that slie would have to prove the ownership of the "coat before she received it again.

The fact that she was the cyno sure of all eyes and repeatedly i.napped by photographers did not disturb the young woman's composure while she was waiting for arraignment, and she flashed a readv smile, appearing to te faintly amused ac all the notoriety she was attracting.

She appeared in a cloth coat, trimmed with gray squirrel fur at the edges, and under a bell-thaped straw hat her blond curls framed a rather pale face. Her attorney said that she was formerly a show girl, playing, he understood. under the name of IMermont.

The third divi. sion went to somebody whom Orr refused to reveal to Gorini. The net or evidence this afternoon tightened closer than ever around Howard Mannington, who was described us "one or the- Columbm crowd." Mannington is now abroad, and a terrific row developed when Senator Ashurst demanded of I'aul Howlnnd, Mr.

There has never been anything In Washington to compare with the tenseness of this afternoon's performance.

The nerves of all concerned were nt a breaking point. The committee's challenge to Howland to produce Mannington was not accepted. Neither could Howland explain why the committee's auditor had been turned away at tho door of the Midland Bank of Washington Courthouse, Ohio, of which M. S.

Gorini's statement that Jess Smith was represented to him ns "being In the Attorney General's office" is considered very damaging.
