Dwyer Case Tangles Realty Funds and Wire Tapping Allegations
Inspector John F. Dwyer faced a stormy hearing over a 403 West 115th Street purchase for 154000 and alleged wire tapping tied to his office. Testimony described disguises and transfers as Dwyer admitted buying the property with 20000 cash, others funding the rest, and his son receiving the remaining stake. The inquiry probed impersonations, staged names, and a web of associates including James Miller and Warren Leslie as key aliases, with ongoing questions about Captain Candeau and missing links in Dwyer’s finances.

German Industry Urges Export Push to Force Treaty Revision
The Munich convention of the Association of German Industry pledged full cooperation with the government to meet war debts through expanded exports. President Buecher warned that flooding the world with German goods could force a revision of the Versailles treaty and trigger global economic chaos, risking ruin even for the United States if protectionist tariffs rise. He urged intensified German production to obtain gold for raw materials and reparations, claiming Europe and America would suffer unless readjustment occurs.

It calls for municipal ownership of all lines, surrender of private franchises, a three member mayoral control board, and operation by three new corporate agencies.
