ACT TO FORCE TEST AGAINST JIMMY WALKER Definite Charges are Nearly Certain to Be Filed Next Week. Ry United Preen NEW YORK, March 13.—Definite charges of incompetence, inefficiency and neglect of official duties such as those already filed against Thomas C. T. Crain, district attorney, probably will be filed against Mayor James J. Walker by the city affairs committee early next week, John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community church and a leader of the committee, said today. Dr. Holmes said a case of such character could be made much stronger against the mayor than ♦■hat already made against Crain. “We do not intend to let Governor Roosevelt dodge this issue,” he said. “We are going to force a test.” Investigation Demanded The city affairs committee, of tvhich Rabbi Stephen S. Wise also is a prominent member, is the only group which has held apart from the gigantic combination of churches, civic and reform organizations which is demanding legislative action for a city investigation. The committee, although one of the first to urge in investigation, is pursuing a different course of action to get it. Demand for an inquiry by the majority of the local groups became more thoroughly co-ordinated Thursday with the joining of forces between the greater New York Federation of Churches, representing 1,100 churches with about 475,000 members, and the group of business and civic organizations which have united under the leadership of William Jay Schiefelin, president of the Citizens’ Union. The combined groups will form a committee of one thousand to demand a nonpartisan investigation. Change Vice Casts Policy The Socialist committee on public affairs also took a hand in the general uproar, sending letters to Republican and Democratic leaders in the legislature appealing for a triparty investigation of the city government. An important change of policy in the handling of vice cases in the women’s court was made Thursday at a conference between Police Commissioner Mulrooney, Chief Magistrate Corrigan and others. It was decided to throw out of court all vice cases involving an ‘unknown man.” The “unknown man,” testimony in the Seabury inquiry revealed, w T as often a stool pigeon employed by police, and it was believed this move would eliminate any more “framed” cases. NEGRO CLUB IS RAIDED Thirteen Held on Gaming Charges at 4:13 A. M. “Come seven. come eleven” chanted a dusky dice tosser, but Lady Luck, refusing to 'oe wooed, figuratively turned up a thirteen, as a police squad descended on thirteen Negro gamers at the Pioneer Club, 2703% Northwestern avenue, at 4:13 a. m. today, Friday the thirteenth. * The thirteen players were slated on gaming charges and George Smith, Negro, 856 West Twentyseventh street, was slated on charges of gaming and keeping a gaming house.

YOUNG DETROIT MAYOR STIRS PROGRESSIVES Frank Murphy Is One of Outstanding Successes of Parley. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 13.—A mid-western mayor whose municipal government will have a $22,000,000 deficit by the end of the fiscal ! year was one of the outstanding | successes of the progressive conference, which has closed its two-day session here. Frank Murphy is the mayor. He is 37, unmarried, red-haired, and j has a barrel chest. His city is De- j troit. Tens of thousands of unemployed persons are being fed and sheltered under his direction. “That’s where the deficit comes from,” Murphy said, “welfare work.” The progressives cheered his account of Detroit’s municipal un- i employment relief. After he spoke I there were those present who won- i dered if anew ,figure had not made I his political debut on a national platform. “Who is Murphy,” they inquired, “and what is his politics?” Murphy said he was a political maverick. He doubted he had much in the way of a political future. He wouldn’t trade his five-man mayoral cabinet, all but one under 40, for the cabinet of'president Hoover. “My cabinet is an abler group,” said Murphy. “The like of them has never before been in charge of municipal affairs.” The big-fisted Irishman is a believer in youth. Douglas Dow, his commissioner of purchase and supplies, is 31. “We were faced with a big deficit,” said Murphy. “I called in fifteen young bankers, all of them under 40. I assigned three of them | to each of the five municipal de- | partments. When the budget was | made up I spent weeks over it with the entire fifteen. “The consequence of that was a

$24,000,000 reduction in the operating costs of the city of Detroit. “Men who were against me in the campaign five months ago (Murphy has been mayor only that long) thought it couldn't be done. Our deficit even so will be $22,000,000 by the end of the fiscal year. Most of that represents welfare work. We will pay it off in the only way—by drastic economy. “Welfare work has minimized radicalism. Detroit would have been on fire without relief.” Murphy is proud of Detroit’s four ufiemployed demonstrations. “I ordered the police away from the park in which they met and away from the line of march,” explained Murphy. “I invited them to come to the city hall.
