Police Alroady Had Accountod
for $5000 of Cash Taken
From Baby's Father
Coughlin at His Office
First Time Since June 2
For the first time since the disap
pearance of baby Ulakely Coughlin
'during the early morning of June
2. George II. Coughlin, the father,
returned to his work todny. Mr.
Coughlin is president of n litho
graphing company.
Augusto Pasqualo. "The Crank," ob
tained nil the $12,000 paid for the
promised return nf Blnkely Coughlin,
according to evidence unearthed today
near New Gretna, N. J., whore Pus'
quale lived,
It became known today that Detective
Gibson, of Contain Soiidee's force, hml
demonstrated (Ills to the satisfaction of
rue ouiciais In chnrgo of tho case, hv
investigations which lie has been con'
diictiuc quietly for several dnvs in and
about Egg Harbor.
Detective Gibson Is the mnii who first
connected PiiRqunle nbsoliitelv with the
$12,000 "Crank" swindle, by discover
ing nn cnvelone addressed to George
ii. ougiiiin. HiiiKely s father, in the
stove in Pasquale's room in this city.
Gibson was sent to Egg Harbor bv
Captain Souder after the detectives nnd
state police had given up the hunt there
for Blakely, in the hope that he would
be able to turn up some new evidence.
Other Investments Traced
vfiAccarllngn OUfistory.jtold today,
Gibson first unearthed n memorandum
belonging to Pasqualo which Indicated
thnt he had made investments exceeding
the $5000 which detectives had traced
to him. Recently tho belief in "The
Crank's "story of confederates has
grown because no one wns able to find
that be had more than $5000.
Working on the lend .furnished bv the
memorandum. Detective Gibson is' now
snid to hnve proved nbsoliitelv thnt the
other $7000 was in Pasqunle's posses
sion. The detective is said to have
learned definitely that Pnsquule invested
this S7000 in bonds. What these bonds
were or where they are now could not
be learned.
If this additional $7000 can be pro
duced, it will give a new aspect to the
ctire mystery, it is believed tills be
cause most of tho theories have been
on the assumption that Pusqunlo had
worked with one or two other persons
and had divided the $12,000 of which lie
swindled the Coughlins with them.
If he got nil of the $12,000 himself,
it indicates, it is said, that ho plnved
n "lone hand" uud that his ston- nli'nni
m complices is only another of hi's inani
ties. A woman, whose identity state and
federal officials are trying hard to solve
is rapidly iissuniing one or the lending
parts in the mysterious set of circum
stances that surround the investigation.
The newest clue in the kidnapping
case is u letter from tilts woman, who
eier she is. which the authorities ore
keeping under cover. Postofilce inspec
tors intercepted the missive which is
said to linve been directed to George II.
Coughlin, father of missing Baby
Blakely. Its contents they refuse til
reveal.
Coughlin Turns Over letters,
Mr. Coughlin went to the Fulernl
Building hero today nnd turned ocr to
Postal Inspectors McVicker nnd
Ilawkcsworth. the two men who have
been working on the kidnapping case,
all the letters received since Blakely
disappeared.
Mr. Coughlin remained for twuity
minutes conferring with the inspectors,
lie lefused to discuss the enso after
ward, other than to sny that he still,
was linn in the belief that in I'usqiMlc
th- right "Cratik" had been capturid.
The letters which lie brought to tho
Federal .Building included many written
b others thnn Pasqualo.
Asked if he knew of the letter nnd its
woman author, Mr. Coughlin said ho
had hopes the (due might reveal some
information leading to the whereabouts
of his infant son.
' "There must be a woman, in the case
if the baby is alive," he snid. "Pas

ASK EXPLANATION
OF GORMAN'S OB
Research Bureau Inquires
About Plan to Get Fund for
Post After Veto by Mayor
NEELD DEFENDS "EVASION"
The bureau of municipal research has
written to the Civil Service Commission
asking information regarding the re
ported, .apppintinqnt of n chigaifier or
"wtntlstli-lrtifi1' by the commission.
A full statement of facts regarding
the appointment Is demanded by the
bureau.
Frank J. Gorman, former county
commissioner. Inter registrar in the bu
reau of water, subsequently manager
of the Charter pnrty, opposed to Mayor
Moore, nnd still later campaign manager
of Charles Delany, who wns defeated
by Sheriff Rnnsley for Mayor Moore's
old seat in Congress, recently was ap
pointed to the position by the Civil
Service Commission. It pays $1000 a
j ear.
(ionium wns appointed without an
examination despite tlio fnct that ap
pointments to the classified service can
not be mndc in this manner unless the
position is exempted after a public
hearing or the appointment is provis
ional, in which case n noncompetitive
examination is required. A public hear
ing to exempt tlio position bus not been
held nor hns a noncompetitive exami
nation been given. Gorman has had no
experience ns a classifier.
Outsider to Pay Gorman
Since Mayor Moore vetoed tlio pio
vision in an ordinance of Council ere-
I nting the job of olasifier. there is no
appropriation under which Gorman s
salnry could be paid by the city. To
meet tills difficulty Girmnn is to be
"hired" and his salary paid by Griffen
hageii iV; Associntes who are stand
ardizing the salaries of municipal em
plojcs in tlio classified service. Charles
W. Neeld, commission secretary, said
todnj . (
Tin's. Mr. Neeld explained, wil bo
done through n supplementary contract
which the Giiffcnhngcn firm will ho
asked to sign, "employing" Gorman,
pledging themselves to puv him and
charging the pn.uuont to an existing
contract the have with flic city
The questionable legnlitj of the ap
pointment, which is indicnted bv the
letter from the bureau to the commis
sion, nnd tho embarrassment ' it is
causing tho Griffenliugen firm, together
with the commission's linusunl efforts to
find n method of paying'Gormnn's sal
ary, promoted nn explanation todny
from Mr. Neeld.
He admitted thnt Lewis H. Vnn
Dusen, nnother commissioner, strongly
opposed the appointment of Gorman be
cause o" its apparent irregularity. How
ever, Mr. Neeld and Clinton Rogers
Woodruff, the third member of the,com
mission, approved the appointment. Mr.
Neeld snid, and ordered Gorman to go
to work.
Since Inst Tuesday Gorman has put
in a regular dally appearance on the
ninth floor of City Hall, where Griffen
lineon &, Associntes are at work.
When the ngency finishes its classi
fication Gorman is empowered to estab
lish and maintain it, enrrying it into
effect nnd mnking any necessary
changes, with the commission's ap
proval. City Will Foot Bill
The salary to be paid Gorman, while
not directly coming from the city, is, in
effect, fiom the city treasury. Com
missioner Neeld indicated. Griffen
liagen & Associates are now under n
contract to conduct the classification nt
a cost of $111,250, he explained. A
totnl of $,10,000 was appropriated for
the staiidaidizutlou. Commissioner
Neeld said a supplementary contract
will be drawn up with Griffenliugen Jfe
Associntes under which they will bear
the burden of paying Gorman his $1000
salary. The classifying agency, in turn,
will add this amount to its contract with
the city.
"It Is perfectly legal," said Com
missioner Neeld, "We have now drawn
up n special contract with Grlffcnhagen

SOFT COAL FIELD
IN WAGE DEADLOCK
Operators Refuse Demand of
Miners, Who Reject Counter
Proposal DIFFER ON PAY SCHEDULE
By the Associated Press
Cleveland, Aug, 10. The bituminous
oiil operators of the control competitive
field in refusing the miners demand
for $2 a day increase for dny nnd
n.onthly men nnd ten cents a ton for
pick and machine mining today offered
the minors a proposition agreeing to
correct the seeming inequality of the
present contract by ndvnncing the wages
of the day and monthly men the equiv
alent of the coal commission's nward to
the pick miners, giving the day and
monthly men an Increase estimated at
from thirt.v-fho cents to seventy-two
cents u day.
The operators will consider nn other
demand made by tho miners.
The miners received the oporntor'
irpl.v in a joint conference of tho scale
committee and unnnimoiislv rejected the
proposition.
A subcommittee of two operators and
two miners from each of the four states
was then named and went into a joint
conference to consider the situation.
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, nnd William
(reeii. secretary -treasurer of the or
ganization, attended the subcommittee
ns ex-ofiicio members. The meeting
was presided over by Michael Gallagher,
a I evelanil operator, who is chairman
of the joint meeting. The other mem
icis of the joint scale committee were
to await the call of the subcommittee
I uder the award of the bituminous
crnl commission the pick mining rate

inequality the operators agee to correct

The operators' repl declared the only

while correct as to hgures. this method
was n distinct departure from the es

classes of labor, which was to fix the
pick mining rate and to measure all
i.llier labor bv the per crntage of such
advance or decrease.
Seeming discrepancy, lhj operators'
reply continues, has ciiused much dis
satisfaction, resulting in the closing
down of mines and curtailment of pro

of the miners of the central competitive
field have coniiiued at work and are

By the Associated Press
London, Aug. 16. Premier Lloyd
George, replying to a question in
tho House of Commons todny con
cerning labor's ultimatum against
war on Russia, declared that any
attempt to dictate the policy of the
government or Parliament by in
iustrial action struck at the root of
;he Democratic constitution of the
country and would be resisted by all
the forces at the government's dis
posal. Loud cheers greeted the pre
mier's reply.
I Mr. Lloyd George asserted that
the government's policy concerning
I Russia and Poland diffe'red in ' no
I nay from the labor policy, and said
'this swing of the sledge hammer at
TOLD THEY CANNO

:ended only for display.
The premier also stuted that the. gov
eminent lind made it clear to General
Baron AVrungel, anti-Bolshevik lender
in South Russia, that It he further at
tacked the Soviet forces he must do so
on his own responsibility.
General Wrangcl since then had
opened further operntlon. the premier
added, and the responsibility, conse-' -quently,
was hi own. wivt

ferences between the Allies relative to

intlueiice upon their cordial relations,
said Premier Millornnd at Lo Qucsnoy,
ii town in the devastated region, which
he visited yesterday.
"Divergencies of Views." he declared,
"are very nnturnl, even between allies,
out they do not weaken deep reciprocal
esteem nor the conviction thnt the main
tenance of their alliance is for fhc En
tente nations a moral duty and neces
sity of the hour. However puinful nre
certain moments when these divergen
cies become iiiarketrT at the same
moment it is realized thnt the next
tho Allies will walk hand-in-linnd
toward the same purpose, the reign of
liberty and justice. It was for thi
reason thnt on Vimy Ridge .'1000 Cana
dians, w hose monuments we decorated
yesterday, died. When these bond
nre between nations, their alliance
conies out stronger than ever when tho
clouds nre gone."
Washington. Aug. 10. (By A. P.)
Premier Llo.id George's iinnouni'ement
that Great Britain had Informed Gen-
nil Wrangcl that any further attack
b liim on the Bolshoviki would be on
his own responsibility comrs almost on
the heels of France's recognition of and
promise of material aid to the South
Russian leader.
Some officials and diplomats here
were of the opinion that the situation
was not quite as serious as appeared on
lust examination of the premier's pro
nouncement. It was said that Great
Britain hud been aiding General Wran
gcl uud that it was entirely possible
that the government had decided to
withiltnw thnt aid at this time, I nuso
it did not desire an. complications in
the Soviet Polish armistice negotia
tions. The action of France in recognizing
General Wrangcl ih understood to have
met with the approval of the American
Government and the French reply to
the American note to Itul on the.
Polish -Russian situation, which iviu
rcceivtsl .esterdny. has disclosed that
the United States and France virtually
are is one in their policy -toward
Russia.
State Department officials said today
the rail iccelvcd no information us to'
whether the British Governiueut in
tended to rep! to the American note
in which the United States suid It
would welcome a declaration of policy
b the Allies as to (lie future of Rus
sia. A lejoiuder fiom Great Britain

however.
