Butler’s First Clash With Kendrick

Editor's Note—This is the ninth installment of General Butler's story of his work as head of Philadelphia police and his dismissal early this year. The articles will appear daily. The Times owns exclusive rights to the articles in this territory. By Smedley D. Butler Ae a result of the harassment of the Mayor by politicians opposed to my presence in Philadelphia, there occurred the first clash between us. It had no real aftermath, but it was highly significant. I was endeavoring to have the salary of Assistant Director Elliott increased.

SAVE BOOZE TILL CHECK IS FBHED Destruction Delayed for Investigation of 330 Missing Cases. WARD MAKES REQUEST X Judge Baltzell Grants Postponement. Until a complete check has beeit made of about $300,000 worth of W. P. Squibb Company liquor stored in the Federal Bldg, here, to determine what became of 330 missing cases of the stock, the liquor will not be destroyed as a result of action today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. A petition of District Attorney Albert Ward to hold up certification to the United States marshal of a mandate from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, ordering destruction of the liquor, was granted by the judge. This mandate confirms the decision of Judge Baltzell in 1923, when a libel case was instituted by the Government. The court held that the liquor should be destroyed. "Very Proper” However, today the judge stated that it was “very proper” that destruction of the liquor should be held up. In his petition Ward said that he beleived it to be “essentially necessary thatrthis said liquor and boxes in which it is contained should be preserved until after a thorough and complete investigation has been made of the disappearance of a portion thereof.” That the liquor was missing was revealed by Attorney-General Sargent a few days ago, after a check made the Jast of March by Meredith and Signaigo, has been compared with a 1923 check. The comparison showed the 330 cases missing. Representative La Guardia started the ball rolling by charging, in Congress. that some of the liquor had • disappeared. Sargent ordered Ward to investigate.

Check Numbers Meanwhile serial numbers on the liquor, cases are being cheeked by United States Marshal Linus P. Meredith, Department of Justice Examiner A. J. Signaigo and E. T. Kenthorn, an agent of the department, working with four trusties from the Marion County jail. By knowing exactly the numbers on cases in storage it can be found out where the order of the numbers is broken. Through the missing serial numbers the cases might be traced. At the Department of Justice office It was said no official order for beginning the investigation had been received. Henthorn is not assigned to the case, it was said. "Unknown Agent” It was Indicated when Ward outlined briefly his investigation plans that. a. Department of Justice agent unknown in this district would work on the case. Ward said the investigation will proceed the regular channels and that after the investigation a report will be made to him by the agent on the case. He then will review the facts and if the.y warrant criminal action he will present them to a grand jury. Because of the possible lengthiness of such an investigation it was belived that it will not be completed in time for presentation to the grand jury. May 5, even if the facts warrant it. E. C. Yellowley, prohibition administrator of the Thirteenth District, arrived in the city Thursday when the liquor re-check was started, and visited Deputy Administrator A. R. Harris at the Federal Bldg. ‘lO YEARSIYOU^uIcKY’ Collins Tells Negro He’s Fortunate in Not Answering Murder Charge. “You’re a lucky bird,” said Criminal Judge .Tames A.

increase. I told the mayor of Elliott’s ability, loyalty and honesty, and explained how invaluable he was to me. “I realize,” I wrote, “that charges of disloyalty to political affiliations are brought’against'him, but I know this will have no weight with you, as you have so consistently adhered to the policy of the divorcement of the department of public safety from politics. I don’t know the meaning of the word trimmer, so used, but am absolutely at a loss to understand its application to a department divorced from politics and running on merit. I feel, sir, that unless you take a hand neltner Elliott nor any one I advocate, will have a chance.”- •
