Million, rp Stuff Correspondent Washington, May 17. r-An alliance that is natlortlil scandal" has boon formed by ~l‘ ‘ v,lro R’Tmblicnii organization In Phihidelphlu and Democrats there, Lewis (’• Cassidey, Hons ton convention delegate, churged in a telouiani received today by tbe senate campaign investigating committee. The telegram was read by Chairnum Steiwer of the committee while Sedgwick Kistler. Philadelphia tan ner and candidate for Pennsylvania national committeeman.. was on th • stand. Kistler said he knew nothing of sin it a charge and did not know Cassidey. Oscar Wilt, cashier of the Etnpii.e National bank, Clarksburg, W. Va„ testified he had neither initiated nor participated in any move to hand the banker of West Virginia together to finance the Hoover campaign against Senator Goff, native son candidate. Wilt said the president, of his bank. Virgil L. Hyland had not participated in any such move to his knowledge, and that he had seen no evidence oi any large expenditures by any of the candidates in either party in West Virginia, The committee thereupon adjourn ed until tomorrow when it will hear the following witnesses: Harry C.

OVE) ing were made by William Lougheed, a stable foreman, who admitted he had been guilty of the practice and made an affidavit accusing numerous of his fellow employes in the department. Less money is involved in the supreme court's investigation of “amhulance chasing" by New Yofft lawyers. but leading members of the bar have expressed the opinion that the house cleaning now under way is more vital than any of the other investigations. Then comes the Queens sewer scandal. It involves about $8,000,000 and the political fortunes of a score of men. Maurice E. Connolly, former Borough president of Queens, resigned because the city refused to furnish him with a SIOO,OOO defense fund in the investigation. Bernard M. Patten was elected borough president of Queens to succeed Connolly over the protest of Mayor Walker and the next day an investigation of alleged fraud in the department of markets, which Patten (Co.) headed, was ordered. t'ncle Sam took a hand in one of the inquiries and Yoik in one of its most vital spots Broadway. Twenty-four theatrical ticket agents were fined a total of $139,000 for failure to pay taxes on incomes which they derived by selling tickets for more than 50 cents advance over the box-office price. The investigation still is in progress with Clarence J. Shearn. special commissioner appointed by Governor Alfred E. Smith conducting the hearings. Naturally all the investigations have furnished excellent i.immunit ion for politicians. Republicans ffike verbal pot shots at Mayor Walker daily. The mayor replies that he inheiited all the graft from the Hylan administration. Only once has Walker lost his answei. That was when the strict cleaning fiaud was revealed, and he said he would have tin honest administration "if he had to make an enemy of every friend I have.” His warning ended with this statement: "I'm mad as hell." — o- — COURT HOUSF Wife Seeks Divorce A suit f r divorce was filed in cir cult coyrt today by Marguerite Fing ! land Hann against Bueford llano The couple were married November It, 1927. and separated November 27. 1927.
