SHIFTS WALKER i TESTIMONY JOB TO ASSISTANTS Roosevelt Names Lawyers to Analyze Mayor’s Defense. By United Pren* ALBANY. N. Y„ June 14.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt has appointed John E Mack and Martin Conboy to help him. analyze testimony of Mayor James J. Walker before the Hofstadter committee concerning his fitness for office. Mack is a former Democratic supreme court justice in Duchess county, and was an attorney m the Stillman divorce case. Conboy, also a Democrat, is a leading New York attorney. "Assistance of the attorneys," Roosevelt declared, ‘applies only to a digest and analysis of the testimony, and not in any way to making of decisions which are, of course, an executive duty of the Governor sitting in quasi-judicial capacity." Block Enters Trotcst In the same announcement of his selection of advisers Roosevelt explained that charges had been filed agcinst the mayor by a Democratic group, and that these would be studied with the transcript of testimony submitted by Samuel Seabury, Hofstadter committee counsel, as a private citizen. The independent charges against the mayor asked his removal for "prodigious inefficiency and malfeasance in office. ’ In connection * with the Walker case, Paul Block, publisher, Monday protested to Seabury against a “wholly unwarranted inference" regarding him in the analysis of evidence against the mayor. It was Block who financed a joint stock account with Walker which yielded the mayor a gross profit of approximately $250,000. "Justice,” wrote Block, "should prompt you to amend your statement to Governor Roosevelt insofar as this inference to me applies. You should know that my joint account with Mayor James J. Walker was opened and conducted solely because of my manfr years’ friendship with him as an individual, and not as the mayor of New York. Expected No Favors "You should know that I expected and received no favors from the mayor or the administration, and that any inference that my motives were for personal profit is unwarranted, unjustified and untruthful.” Scabury’s charges submitted to the Governor cited the fact that Block was financially interested in a corporation making tile, later favorably reported for use in subway construction. "You know as well as I that I opened this account nine months before I had any interest in the Beyer company,” Block wrote. “You know as well as I that it never manufactured for sale, or did it sell any tile to the city or any subway constractor or to any one else,” he said. Block said SeftbflT.f knew that he sold his interest in the company as soon as he learned it was negotiating for sale for subway construction purposes.

School's out, and until the city opens it playgrounds thousands of children are making up their own recreation in favorite haunts. The sport in the upper photo looks serious, one small girl wrestling two boys the same size. But it was all in fun. The scene is Willard park, on East Washington street. The lad in the lower picture may be training to be a steeplejack, or, again, he only may be testing his youthful biceps on an improvised chining bar. LIFE GUARDS TO MEET They Will Receive Instructions for Duty at Pools. City playground staffs, including supervisors, men and women instructors and life guards were to meet at the city hall this afternoon for final instructions and distribution of equipment from H. W.
