RESEARCH BUREAU URGES
BUILDING PRIVILEGE FEES
Says Contractors Who Rip Up the
Streets Should Pay for Right
A fee schedule for the privilege of
laying private pipes, conduits and tun
nels or the building of private bridges
ever streets should be provided by Coun
cil, the Burcnu of Municipal Research
asserted today.
Council's failure te establish such a
schedule has led te numerous vetoes by
Mayer Moere. Whenever ordinances
granting such privileges have been
passed, Council hns invariably passed
the bills ever the veto.
The Research Bureau said that any
kind of franchise in perpetuity should
be avoided. It stated further:
"Fer nearly two years there hns been
before Council an ordinance prepared
by the Beard of Highway Supervisors
which prescribes limitations en and
compensation for the use of the high
ways. Possibly this particular ordi
nance could be improved upon, and we
hove no criticNm for its previsions one
way or the ether. Fer some reason
this ordinance was allowed te slumber,
while each request for permission te
use public property in the manner in
dicated wns treated by Council en its
individual merits. Seme who are wise
In the lore of City Hall sny that the
ordinance had few friends because some
persons in high places like te be in n
position te extend favors. Perhaps
that is true, but whatever motives may
have operated in the past, early and,
let us hope, satisfactory solution of this
matter seems te be premised,"

The Civil Service Commission will

charges ngalnst the seventeen patrol
men of the Fifteenth and Vine streets

allowing Rambling houses te run openly.
Captain Jeseph Van Hern told 'the'
commission yesterday when testifying
nt the trial that the police department
was virtually helpless In getting evi
dence against gambling dens nnd ether
places of vice.
"I de net believe there Is a police
man in this city," he said, "who can
ue used te get evidence against nny of
ttie fifty hand books new in operation.
J ncy would bp known befqre they ever
get started. We might get n man from
aianayunk and bring him te the center
of the city for gambling Investigations,
but he would be spotted lti.medlntely."
Charges Grew Out of Raids
The testimony of Captain Van Hern,
who is regarded as Director Cortelyou's
confidential ngent. was looked en by
Uty Hall officials as n strong defense of
Director Cortelyou's nssertlen thnt It Is
necessary te "go outside" the police de

Henry S. MeCnulIy, told hew he get

June.
The seventeen policemen en trial en
(lie chnrges of neglect of duty were de
fended by .T. Washington Legue.
The charge against them grew out
of the gambling raids and was based en
their failure te rpnert mi nltesml
gambling estnbllshmcnt In the Ludlow
Ilulldlng, en Sixteenth btreet near

MeCnulIy said he went into the
gambling nlace In the Ludlow ltuildinz

Mr. Legue asked for the dismissal of
all charges against the seventeen
policemen en the ground no evidence

Handicaps Are Considered
The Commissioners replied that the
lawyer's argument appeared te be sup

the beard would be Justified In bringing
In n direct verdict of guilty for failure

"LONE STAR BANDIT GANG"
ROUNDED UP. SAY POLICE
Three Captured When Three Others
Are Being Arraigned
Twe men arrested In Frankford after
a desperate hand-te-hand struggle will
be taken te City Hall today making
whnt the police believe Is n complete
round-up of the "Lene Star Bandit
dang."
As three ether alleged members of
the gang were being arraigned In Cen
tral Station yesterday, tlie two were
caught in Frankford after a speedy mo me
eor chase, and still another was nrrcstcd
tn City Hall. Police say he was at
tempting te communicate with these en
trial.
First evidence of the gang's activity
came, police say, with the held-up of
two runners of the Textile National
Bank carrying a payroll of $10,000.
The two caught In Frankford gave
their names as Jehn Rogers, twenty
sis, nnd Jeseph Adams, "of Delaware."
Donald McDonald was caught In City
Hnll. He had been nrrestcd with his
three companions who were up for
hearing, but had escaped. Alt were
held without ball for the Grand Jury.
They are accused of twenty-two rob
beries. A JUDICIOUS use of
