NEW YORK'S MAYOR
DEMAND FOB REMOVAL. GRAFT CHARGES DENIED. NEW YORK, Jane J. Mr. Sarn beabury, white-haired judge and investigator, who has for months been chasing “grafters,” crowned his inquiry to-day by formally demanding the removal of the Mayor of Now York. Mr. James Walker, from office. During his two days on the witness stand Mr. Walker fenced and tried to explain away cash in excess of £lOO, 000 that found its way into the family safe. To-day Judge Seabury announced that he had secured definite evidence that the Mayor held shares in a concern which participates in civic contracts. The Judge contends that the mysterious and missing Russell Sherwood was really the Mayor’s “Man Friday,” though the Mayor disavows any interest in Sherwood’s bank deposits of £250,000 in the past three years. Sherwood paid more than £16,000 to a famous “unnamed person” who is popularly supposed to be an actress.
