NEW TORK, June 23 Indictment
of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, and five others on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the United
States by falsifying income tax re
turns and attempted intimidation of
Louis N. Hartog, a wealthy manufac
turer, through prosecution, was an
nounced here today.
The indictments, which were re
turned secretly by the extraordinary
grand jury yesterday, came as a great
surprise. Mr. Murphy is now on his
way to the democratic national con
Tcntion at San Francisco.
Others indicted with Murphy were
Assistant District Attorney James E.
Smith, one of the central figures in
the vice war between the district at
torney's office and the police depart
ment; John O. McCarthy, former busi
ness partner of John Murphy, brother
of the Tammany leader; Arthur J.
Baldwin, a lawyer; Ernest B. Walden,
vice-president of the Corn Products
company, and the Corn Products com
pany itself. Bail for each defendant
was fixed at $1000.
Coercion In Charged.
Murphy is charged with trying to
Intimidate Hartog into settling a $10,
000,000 damage suit brought against
the Tammany leader after the latter
is alleged to have withdrawn promised
financial support in a glucose product
firm in which Hartog was interested.
The Indictment alleges that Murphy
threatened to accuse Hartog- of arson,
to expose to his wife his alle'ged
secret relations with another woman,
send him to Jail for offenses he did
not commit and ruin his business.
Hartog, the indictment sets forth,
procured a $7,000,000 order for his
product from the British government
during the war. He found difficulty
in acquiring the necessary amount of
glucose to complete the order. He
then enlisted the aid of Murphy,
through whose influence, the indict
ment recites, the needed ingredients
were obtained from the Corn Products
company.
Murphy Kara Hartog.
Hartog and Murphy later disagreed
over business matters and Murphy
sued Hartog to recover $125,000 in
vested in the manufacturer's com
pany. Then Hartog sued Murphy, the
Corn Products company and Baldwin
to recover $10,000,000 profit he said he
had lost through withdrawal of Mur
phy's pledged support, asserting he
no longer could get glucose from the
Corn Products company.
Hartog was summoned to Assistant
District Attorney Smith's office while
these court actions were pending.
Hartog alleges Smith summoned him
to force him to pay Murphy his $125,
000, but Smith claims he issued the
summons for Hartog solely in the
interest of prosecution of sugar
profiteers. Hartog's brother was
fined $5000 in federal court for sugar
profiteering, but Smith gave Hartos
himself a clean bill.
Fraud Alleged.
The indictment sets forth that the
agreement between. Murphy and Har
tog shows an Increase from $10,000
to $1,000,000 in the capital stock of
Hartog's firm, the North Kensington
Refining company. When Murphy
and Hartog, it is alleged, became
jointly interested in the business
April, 1918, profits of the business
subject to war ta were estimated
at $1,000,000 a year.
The indictment charges that on
April 5, 1918. in order that Murphy
should obtain a larger income and a
. quick return on his investment, James
E. Smith and others unlawfully and
corruptly combined to defraud the
government of moneys dje it by fil
ins with the collector of internal
revenue misleading and false entries
as to the records of the business.
The name of James J. Hines, demo
cratic leader in the eleventh assembly
district. New York, was among the
witnesses listed in the back of the
indictment. June 28 was set as the
date for pleading.
MURPHY REFUSES TO TALK
Indictment Is "Business Suit," Says
leader of Tammany Hosts.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Charles
T. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall.
accompanied by Governor Alfred
Smith of New York, came to town to
night but the spirit of loquaciousness
was not upon him and he had nothing
to say. The New York delegation
and the Tammany hosts are due here
tomorrow.
"I have been out of touch with poli
tics for several days, said Mr. Mur
phy, "and can't say what the New
Tork delegation will do until we
have a caucus. As to a plank in the
platform to amend the Volstead act,
that Ib a matter that will have to be
fought out on the convention floor.
Mr. Murphy's attention was called
to a story of his indictment in New
York on the ground of conspiring to
coerce Louis Hartog. a manufacturer,
to return $125,000 which the Tam
many leader invested with the Har
tog company.
"That is a business suit." said the
Tammany chieftain, "and all I will
ay about it is that Hartog got
the $125,000."
Governor Smith said the New York
delegation would hold a caucus Fri
day or Saturday to determine its po
sition on the platform and candidate

Quick to realize that in order to get the maximum motor
car efficiency something must be done to combat the
handicaps imposed by the rapidly deteriorating fuel supply,
Cole engineers developed a superheated intake manifold.
Through this device, the gasoline was heat-treated before
entering the carburetor and properly vaporized to insure
smooth running, quicker get-a-way in cold weather, and
the elimination of carbon deposits usually associated with
the use of low-test fuel.
From this early vaporizer the present highly efficient
Hot-Blast Manifold of the cvero-EiGHT was evolved.
This new device manufactures high-test gasoline as it is
required by the motor. There is no additional drain on

Ends Painful Growths.
Many persons are unable to wear
the shoes that actually fit them be
cause they 'are troubled with corns
or callouses.
Extra-size footwear is not neces
sary, however, after these paJnful
growths have been painted with Cac
tus Corn Compound. This preparation
stops the pain of corns at once and
causes them to dry up and soon
fall off.
This method of removing corns can
be employed at home by anyone and
is perfectly safe, while cutting is very
dangerous. A small bottle of Cactus
Corn Compound, costing only a few
cents, will remove dozens of corns".
Your druggist has it and will refund
