CLARK, "MAN WITH EYEGLASSES,"
IN HANDS OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Bu O' Staff C07TWonilet
NEW YOItK, Sfpt. 26.
The services of picked New York de
tectives, free from political Influence, were
offered today by the authorities here to aid
Philadelphia in Its local probe after the
"men higher up" In the "Bloody Fifth"
Ward murder conspiracy.
"We would be only too glad to send over
detectives should a request for them he
made," said a deputy police commissioner,
who pointed out the similarity of the pres
ent Investigation to that of the Ilecker
ltosenthal murder case. In which politics
brought pressure upon the probe and nearly
warped Justice.
The reply was mado In answer to a query
as to whether or not the Philadelphia au
thorities had aBkcd for "neutral" aid in
delving into the political quagmire and,
If such nld were requested, whether or not
detectives would be sent to Philadelphia,
The police official was speaking for his
chief, Police Commissioner Arthur Woods,
who was absent from the city.
"We have not been asked," ho said, "but
we arc ready and anxious to help, And I
promise you that our detectives would not
be called oft from their work by a pack of
rmitv ward heelers. The New York police
would bo only too glad to assist District
Attorney Ilotan In every way, even to the
extent of sending detectives to Philadel
phia, .should Mr. Hotan,. convinced that his
own police are being called off, ask for
outside flirt.
"Krom what I have heard 'of the Fifth
Ward case, the situation Is virtually the
same that we had hero during the Investi
gation of the tloscntlial-Beckcr murder
plot. As you will remember, politics played
rv big part In that. I understand that the
situation Is very similar In Philadelphia
now. Some of the members of the Phila
delphia police department, I am told, are
not showing the loyalty to District Attorney
T.otnn that they should.
t'Jf Mr, P.otan thinks that lie needs any
nid ho can have the best men in our de
tective bureau to hunt Clark. Sullivan and
others and to gather further evidence
sgalnit the 'men higher up." We are pretty
sure that wo have been of great aid hero
In New York, but we are ready to transfer
our assistance to Philadelphia should It
be needed there.
The New York reinforcements, he said,
would b In charge of Captain of Detec
tives Wines, of the Bronx, who has gath
ered vital evidence In the form of con
fessions and otherwise. The police ofAclal
made It plain, that his criticism of the
Philadelphia police was not general On
the contrary, he praised the work of sev
eral of the Philadelphia detectives who
worked on the case In New York, naming
Detective William Callahan, head of the
"murder squad," and Detectives I,eo, HIs
man and drover, of the "vice squad," "pals"
of Detective Kpptey, who were with lilm
the day he was killed.
"Whltcy'' Burkhart, 'the self-confessed
gunman, whose signed statement Is re
garded as the most Important of those made
by the captured members of the Imported
gang, told a jail attendant today that he
was sorry that he had "squealed," on ac
count of the publicity that had been given
to his confession.
Burkhart's confession was gone over last
night In detail. The other three arrested
In the "Frog Hollow" neighborhood last
Jiaturday Rugglcro Falcone ("Jimmy the
Flash"), "Straight Louie" BrunelU and
"Mike" Dennehy were questioned last
night and again today, but It was not an
nounced whether or not they had contrib
uted much of the desired Information.
A delegation of three Phlladelphlans to
day called at the District Attorney's office
here and urged close co-operation between
District Attorney Swann, of New York
County, and DIstrlctjAttorney Martin, of the
Bronx, in running down those responsible
for Eppley's murder. They said the Phlla
delphla District Attorney was reluct int to
maka public a confession obtained from one
suspect by Martin, and that Martin had
promised them he would give It out If the
Pennsylvania prosecutor would not.
VAL O'FAimnLL ENTEIIS DISCLAIMER
Val O'Farrell, head of the Val O'Farrell
Detective Agency, today disclaimed any
knowledge that employes of the Philadel
phia branch of his agency had, as reported,
furnished the gunmen who Invaded the
F4fth Ward.
"Mr. O'Farrell, It Is charged that em
ployes of yours In Philadelphia Imported the
gunmen to Philadelphia," he was told
"Have you any statement to make?"
"I don't know anything at all about It,"
, he replied.
"You mean that you don't know whether
, or not the Philadelphia olllco furnished the
gunmen?"
"I don't know whether they did or not.
If they did they were Imposed upon."
Mr. O'Farrell then was asked If "Mlko"
O'Sulllvnn or Sullivan was nn operative of
the agency In New York.
"I havo nothing to say," he replied.
"Ib 'Jim' Clark on your payroll In Phila
delphia?" "I have nothing tq Bay.'.'
"Do you know Sullivan 7"
"I have nothing to say."
"Do you know Clark?"
"I have nothing to say."'
"Mr. O'Farrell, did you get this 'nothing-to-say
feve.r' from the Philadelphia of
ficials accused in this killing?"
"I have nothing to say."
"NOTHINd-TO-SAY" FORMULA
O'Farrell flien was asked whether or not
he knevv Mayor Smith, "Ike" Deutsch, the
Vares, James A. Carey, former Judge James
, Gay Gordon, Senator McNIchol nnd other
Philadelphia politicians, to which he an
swered .with the' stock phrase already made
famous by Mayor Smith and others In
volved In the accusations.
"Where Is Clark now?" resumed the
reporter. '
"I have nothing to say.t' continued O'Far
rell glibly.
"Where Is Sullivan?"
"I have nothing to Bay," was the lather
Impatient answer.
"Is your agency hiding these two men?"
"I have nothing to say. Why the h
don't .you go to Philadelphia. If you .want
Information?" ' ,
"Does this mean that Clark and Sullivan
are In Philadelphia?" pursued -the ques
tioner, .
"I have- nothing to say," icplled the de
tective yehlef, "Say, who are you, anyway?"
When told that his 'Inquisitor was a Phil
adelphia newspaperman, O'Farrell declined
to exchange further words.
Continued (roiu.I'afe On
arrest were Identified by Greaves as
members of the raiding party.
Fifth Ward police know that murder
was planned on election day, according
to Samuel J. Blumbcrg, candidate for
Common Councilman, who said that
Clark warned him he was "marked"
for death.
The Committee of Seventy will hold
a'special meeting at 4 o'clock tomor
row afternoon to plan action in tho
Fifth Ward outrage.
ALL DAY CONFEnitINO
Mayor Smith arrived at his office In City
Hall shortly beforo 9 o'clock this morning.
He denied himself to callers nnd disap
peared within. Shortly afterward Colonel
Sheldon Potter, of his counsel, went Into
the office. He was followed In a few min
utes by James Scarlet, of Danville, and
former Judge Abraham M. Beltler, who
complete the trio of lawyers whom the
Mayor has selected to defend lltn.
""For more than four hours the Mayor
was closely closeted with his legal advisers,
mapping out the defense which will be
erected against accusations of murder con
spiracy that will be heard next Tuesday.
It wan said also that counter-suits were
being planned.
Indictments afcalnet th three gunmen
held In New York Uugglero Fulcone
("Jimmy the Flash"), "Whltey" Burkhart
and "Straight Louie" BrunelU were ob
tained fiom ths Urand Jury this afternoon
by Assistant District Attorney Taulane and
hc papers were sent to New York Im
mediately In charge of Detective Joseph
McClaln, of District Attorney Botan's
office. Accompanjlng McClaln were City
Detectives Callahtn and Fisher, Detec
tives Elsman nnd Leo, of the "vlco squad,"
and three women,, new witnesses In the
case The witnesses are being taken over
to Identify "Mike" Dennehy, If possible.
His connection with the plot has not been
clearly established
Separate Indictments against each of tho
defendants were acted upon by tho Orand
Jury, which returned six true bills ngalnst
each, ranging from murder to nssault and
battery. The next step preparation of
requisition papers to be signed by Governor
Brumbaugh precedes bringing of the pris
oners from New York to this city. It Is
planned to have them testify as Common
wealth's witnesses In next Tuesdny's hear
ing of the murder conspiracy charges
against Major Smith, Common Councilman
Isaac Deutsch and Lieutenant David Ben
nett. The JIureau of Detectives Is working un
der the Immediate direction of District At
torney llotnn, It was Indicated today Cap
tain of Detectives Tato denied that he had
twenty warrants for the arrest of men al
leged to be connected with the plot, but
said that If Mr. Ilotan had any warrants to
servo his detectives would serve them. It
was reported yesterday that the twenty
warrants sworn out before Magistrate Stev
enson had been turned over to Captain Tate
by Mr. Hotan. Several detectives wero seen
with warrants. Captain Tate said that any
announcement In regard to wnrronts would
como from Mr Itotan.
The three gunmen who took part In the
raid on the Flnletter Club, according to
Constable Greaves, are "Whltcy" Burk
hart and Hugglero Falcone ("Jimmy the
Flash"), under arrest In New York, and
Henry de Inrao, alias John Costello, one
of the pair captured here.
Greaves was positive In his Identification,
asserting that he ban cause to romember
the faces. It was qrenves, who with for
mer Constable Marks, Carey's personal
bodyguard, kept the raiders at bay on the
steps with drawn pistols. Oreaves's Identi
fication was corroborated by August
Oreuver, a railroad detective, who also was
fir the club.
"Do I know them?" asked Greaves. "Well,
I should say yes. My friend August
Dreuver and I wer over to New York yes
terday, and out of a mob of twenty men we
(ilcked out Falcone and Burkhart as mem
bers of the gang that raided the Flnletter
Club. That little , slim guy Costello, under
arrest here, also was In the mob that rushed
the club.
"When I Walked In to look them over In
the Bronx lock-up, they had them lined up.
They're on the square 'over there In New
York. They play the game fair. In the
line-up they had newspaper men, detectives
and others besides the prisoners, so that
mo prisoners had nn even oreaK.
"The first guy that I lamped was 'Straight
Louie' BrunelU. I wasn't sure about him.
I said, 'You look llko one of the club visi
tors, but I'm not certain.' The District
Attorney asked, 'Are you positive that this
Is one of the men?' and I said, 'No, .I'm
not and I don't want to do him an Injus
tice.' KNEW FALCONE AT ONCE.
"But when I spotted Falcone I knew that
bird at once. I walked over to him and
said, 'We've met before, haven't we?
You're the guy I backed down the stairs
with my smoke-wagon.' He knew me, for
he smiled. Then I walked down the line
till my lamps lit on 'Whltey' Burljhart.
'Oho, my falr-halrcd lad,' I said. 'So you're
here, too, are you? You know me. You
remember me backing you off the stairs,
don't you?'
"I was positive In my identification of
them, but gave tho others thu benefit of
doubt, although If I wasn't on tho level I
could make It bad for them."
Greaves backed up Blumberg's assertion
that Clark was the man who gave the gun
men the signal to attack Carey and Assist
ant District Attorney John II. Maurer. He
said that he was positive that Clark was
the man who pointed out the victims, and
that. In his opinion, the fugitive still was
in hiding In tho Fifth Ward.
Friends of Carey asserted today that the
raid on the Flnletter Club, nt tho time be
lieved to be 4nerely a "rough-house" dis
play, designed to Intimidate Carey sup
porters, was In effect nn attempt to "get"
Carey on tho eve of election. They pointed
out that Carey, with Mr. Maurer and Rep
resentative Isadore Stern, was In an up
stairs room at tho time of the raid, a fact
that must have been known to the raiding
party. The thugs, however, were blocked
In their efforts to Invade the upper rooms
by Greaves and Marks, who rushed to tho
defense of the stairs nnd forced the assail
ants back to the first floor Here the raiders
contented themselves with, "blackjacking"
a dozen or so persons before they were
driven out by counter-attacks, .
Announcement has been made by Magis
trate Stevenson that he has appealed to
President Wilson for aid pending the clear
ing up of the Fifth Ward anarchy reign sit
uation. Michael Sullivan, operative of n local
private detective agency and formec New
York politician, mentioned by the polkta as
one of the "go-betweens" In the murder
case, was reported to have been seen In a
Market street saloon yesterday. He also

MAYOR'S'DENIAL CALLS ALL
CONSPIRACY CHARGES UNTRUE,
Mayor Smith's statement denying any
part in or knowledge of tho "Bloody Fifth"
Ward conspiracy, as Issued this afternoon,
explains his long silence In the face of pop
ular condemnation by declaring that ho ex
pected to make his official reply at tho
hearing originally set for yesterday but
postponed until next Tuesday.
Flat denial of nil the charges ngalnst him,
explanation of the measures taken to pre
serve order In the wnrd, and a challenge to
his nccusers to prove their statements In
couit, are embodied In the statement. The
statement reads as follews.
"I have refrained from making nny
public statement heretofore regarding the
charges which have been brought against
me as It was my expectation that a hearing
could havo been had yesterday of such
charges and that Judicial Inquiry would have
placed before the public nil the facts, from
which an unbiased public opinion might be
formed. The postponement of the hearing,
however, and the uncertainty of the time
when It will bo held, owing to the sickness
of those who are said to be witnesses, de
mands that I make tho following statement
at this time.
"I have been charged In the affidavit
upon which n warrant was Issued for my
arrest with having conspired to violate an
act of Assembly popularly known ns the
Shern act, which has many provisions
some of them dealing with the participation
of public officers In elections, and with hav
ing further conspired to commit assaults
and murders In connection with a primary
election In the Fifth Ward. What violations
of tho act or what assaults and murders 1
conspired to commit are not stated.

Extra Attractions
You'll Be Glad to Find
It is not th'e expected things that make Mitchells so ap
pealing, but the features you don't expect.
There is added equipment, extra luxury, over-strength:.
There are countless comforts, beauties and conveniences
which are rarely seen. There are 31 distinct features in
Mitchells which nearly all cars omit.
55
r3
Extra Smart Styles
You first note the distinctive body
styles. There arc eight new types of
bodies, and each one is exclusive.
That is because we have our own
body plant. We have our own artists
and experts.
Before designing a body they ex
amine every like-type body built. And
all their best attractions arc combined
with ours.
Then our own body plant saves us
much on each car. And that entire
saving goes into luxuries and beauties
which very few cars afford.
Extra Equipment
Mitchells are the most
complete cars built. They
have 31 rare features.
These include a power
tire pump, a dashboard
engine primer, reversible
headlights, shock-absorbing
springs.
There is a light in the
tonncau, a locked com
partment There is heat
fixed finish which stays
new. There is extra-grade
leather which lasts.
But the chief Mitchell
extra is doubled endur
ance. Mitchells are now
built to the standard of
100 per centover-strength.
That is twice the usual margin of
safety. This extra strength has made
them lifetime cars. It has reduced re
pair cost 75 per cent. Two Mitchells
that we know of havc'alrcady run over
200,000 miles each.
Bate-Built Cars
Mitchells are all built chassis and
body under John W. Bate, the effi
ciency expert. They are built in a fac
tory which he designed and equipped.
They are built under efficiency methods
