SEA6URY SENDS OUT CHALLENGE TO ROOSEVELT Dares New York Governor to Wage Relentless War on Tammany. ■ y United Press CINCINNATI, 0., Feb. 27. Samuel Scabury, anti-Tammany democrat of New York, has added sis Influence to the “Stop Roose/elt" movement in challenging Govrnor Franklin D. Roosevelt to vage a relentless war on Tammany lall. The chief counsel for the Hofitadier , investigating committee which is a Republican-controlled committee hunting graft in New York City’s government, issued his challenge during a bitter attack on Tammy Hall. Part of it was broadcast over a nation-wide network. "Tammany,” he said Friday night, “drives public men whose instincts would lead them to speak out in protest against the corruption to sullen silence. Intoxicated by Power “Where they hold public office and are forced on occasion to rule adversely to Tammany, they soften their opposition so that while the public will not regard them as proTammany will not regard them as opposed to it. “Intoxicated by the absolute power it posseses, Tammany now reaches out to extend its power <and use its Influence in support of some candidate who will be friendly to it if Indeed he does not openly wear the stripes of the Tammany tiger.” Although Roosevelt’s name was not mentioned directly in this reference, the opinion expressed was that expressed previously by Seabury in criticism of Governor Roosevelt’s deliberate manner of dealing with Tammany office holders investigated by Seabury. The attack was interpreted by Democratic politicians as a bid for Democratic presidential lightning in case of a deadlock over a nominee at Chicago next summer. Cites Farley Removal It was an appeal to the extreme anti-Tammany factions in the party. It was delivered in the state that not only has “mothered” presidents, but has mothered political machines as ambitious if not as successful as Tammany—that of Mark Hanna, Maurice Maschke, Bass Cox and “the Ohio Gang.” “On Feb. 24 of this year,” Seabury explained, “Governor Roosevelt ordered the removal of Sheriff Farley of New York county on facts, all of which were brought out last October. “Nothing having been done about it, I myself filed charges before the Governor and after two months delay we got some action.” "Roosevelt removed Farley because he did not satisfactorily explain bank deposits aggregating $400,000 during his term of office.

ADJOURN RATE CASE Vincennes Water Hearing to Reopen March 7. Albert Ward, special master in chancery, late Friday adjourned the Vincennes Water Supply Company hearing until March 7 at Vincennes. The adjournment was ordered to allow George Hufsmith, assistant attorney-general, who is defending the public service commission, to represent the commmisslon in another hearing in Washington next week. The water company is fighting the commission’s rate cut order, which gives the firm an SBOO,OOO valuation. The company insists its property is worth more than $1,000,000. The company rested its case on Thurs and the defense has placed only two witnesses on the stand, both commission engineers. At Vincennes the commission will introduce scores of Vincennes residents as witnesses in an effort to sustain its rate slash order.

Tough Burg By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 27.—The subject of the debate at the City Club was “Chicago or New York, Which Is Worse?” William H. Holley, former city traction counsel, claimed honors for Chicago because, he said: “Chicago really excels in soot, smoke and dirt. A Chicagoan can’t wear a shirt a week as the New Yorker can. “Except for our beautiful front yard, most of the city is a shanty town. “We’re paying for the front yard on the installment plan and crowd our school children forty-two to a room.” But Paul Blanchard, New York City affairs committee director, asserted New York City won because the metropolis has more extensive racketeering, and more active gangsters. “You fired your former mayor,” Blanchard said, “but we haven’t fired Jimmy Walker. He’s handsomer and sauver, but I’m not sure it pays New York to have that kind of an executive.”

MOST CITIES FAVOR WOMEN AS POLICE

Indianapolis and Gary Alone in Opposition to Feminine Officers. At least two Indiana cities, feeling the pinch of the depression, regard policewomen as unnecessary burdens on the municipal payrolls. Indianapolis maintains eighteen policewomen, but now there is a definite move underway to remove them test give work to more men. The only obstacle confronting the ouster is absence of legal methods by which the step can be taken. Officials admit this could be done by charging all with incompetency and bring about their dismissal, but such charges might incur costly consequences. The only other method is by altering the ordinance providing for the position, and authorities say, this would be difficult. Meanwhile a legal loophole whereby their dismissal may be obtained is sought. Gary formerly had twelve to fifteen policewomen. Financial difficulties and schoolboy patrols resulted in their dismissal. Only one woman, a police matron, is now employed. Authorities at Gary express the opinion that policewomen never fulfilled a definite need. It is beyond the recollection of veterans when an arrest was made by a woman. Three years ago one was killed while directing traffic. Three women are employed as

switchboard operators in the Gary police station, but officials say there is a likelihood that even they will soon be replaced by men. Ft. Wayne maintains three policewomen to handle female suspects and prisoners. J. A. Curtin, chairman of the safety board, believes they are a necessary adjunct to the police force. He regards their work as satisfactory and says they accomplish work which would be difficult for men. Two policewomen are on the Terre Haute staff. They draw salaries equal to thase received by patrolmen. Chief of Police Fred Armstrong said they are ‘indispensable.” Mrs. Catherine Sudhoff has been Richmond’s only policewoman for nearly ten years. She is the only person ever to hold the post. Captain Harry Graham says: “There is no more efficient officer than Mrs. Sudoff. She handles cases that could not be handled by tactfully and effectively." Hammond has one policewoman. She has held the position for five years. According to police officials, she is “necessary.” Neither Evansville nor Lafayette has policewomen.
