(Signed) ROGER M. GRISWOLD. Health Officer] POLICE AGCUSED BY TWO WOMAN VICTIMS ‘ One Was Sent to Jail on Grafter's “Framed” Charge New York, July dis- closures of police graft which resulted in the indictment of Detective William J. Enright and others were made by two women to James E. Smith, assis- One 27.—New tant district attorney, yesterday. of these women accused a detective of giving false testimony against her to send her to the penitentiary because she refused to permit him to kis and the other made the accusation that she had paid him $350 to quash a trumped-up case, and that despite her, this she was to the workhouse for three months. According to Mr. Smith, the story told by the first woman, whose name is withheld, reveals the processes em- ployed by certain policemen to ob- tain graft. This woman said that, despite the fact that she is married, a detective whom she named, caused her to be arrested for keeping a dis- reputable resort. “Later,” the woman said, “he took me to a lawyer’s office and then they named a price for legal services. I refused to pay the sum demanded and the detective took me to another lawyer who asked me a still greater sum for his services. I told the de- tective I would hire my own attorney, and that night he came to my house and tried to kill me. He arrested my maid and she was discharged by the police magistrate.” Woman’s Story Corroberated. The woman's story, which will be re- peated to the Grand Jury today, was corroborated, said Mr. Smith, by the captain of the police precinct in which the woman lives, who said her trouble with the detective had amazed him, as he knew her to be respectable. Mr. Smith said that the evidence in his possession indicates that the accused detective sought to enmesh the wo- man “in police coils for purposes of his own in violation of his sworn du- ties. Mrs. Sadie Lipschitz statement to Mr. Smith against the same detective. She made an affidavit setting forth that she had known the detective for several years, and that | in 1913 she had been driven out of business and was “living straight” when the detective crossed her path in Scptember, 1914, “I was living with my husband and his daughter, who is employed in a department store,” said Mrs. Lip- schitz. “l1 was out shopping one af- ternoon and on my return home found the detective in the house. He ar- rested my husband and myself on an accusation of maintaining an unlawful res®t. We gave bafl, and a few days later the detective sent for me and told me that he would settle both cases for $§700. I pawned my diamond jewelry for $450 and gave him $850. The case against my husbang then was dismissed. Sent to Workhouse. “T expected to raise more money to settle the case against me, but he feared I wouldn't pay him, so the case against me was pressed. I was con- victed in Magistrate Murphy’s court last October and was sentenced to serve three months in the workhouse. I told Magistrate Murphy of the detec- tive’s promise and showed the pawn tickets in proof of my statement that T had pawned my jewelry to pay him the money he demanded. The atten- tion of the district attorney was called 10 the matter and an investigation was made. I don’t know how this cnded, but I was forced to serve out my sentence.’”” Strong testimony against the cused detective, according to Mr. Smith, promises to be supplied by Max Turkowitz, known in the undér- world “Pimple,”” who was arrested by Policeman Conway for extortion, arraigned in Yorkville police court on June 28, 1916. The detective ap- peared to be greatly chagrined at ‘Turkowitz's arrest, and that night he is alleged to have slipped some maney to the prisoner with the injunction to keep his mouth shut, also made a ac- INTENSE HEAT IN WEST. And No Relief In Sight, Says Weather Forecast. Chicago, July 27.—A period of in- tense heat in the western plains states, unequalled in continuity and high temperature since 1911, the year of the hot winds in Kansas, according to the government weather bureau here probably will continue through the remaining days of July. The fore- caster announced today that not a leaf was stirring in the Canadian northwest whence reliet must come, and that there was every indication that except in spots visited by local showers the drought would be sever felt. 7 o’clock this morning, Chicago, with with 85 degrees was the hottest point in the United States, with the exception of Yuma, Ariz. The lowest tem- perature for the night here was 82, the highest minimum in the records of the weather bureau here. Through- out the forenoon the temperature steadily mounted, reaching 98 at noon with the prediction that the ther- mometer would register approximately 100 at 8 o’'clock. FARM LOAN BOARD NAMED. Washington, July 27.—President Wilson today nominated Charles E. Lobdell of Great Bend, Kas., George W. Norris, of Phila; W. 8. A. Smith of Sioux Cily, Ia., and Herbert Quick of Berkeley Springs, W.

EXPECT EARLY AGREEMENT Prospects for Settlement of Mexican Problem Brighter—Polk Has An- other Conference With Arredondo. Washington, July 27.—Prospects for an early agreement between the American and Mexican government to submit the border disagreements to a joint commission were described as brighter today after Acting Secretary Polk again conferred with Eliseo Ar- redondo, General Carranza’'s ambas- sador. The conferees found them- selves closer to agreement on the sev- eral points which have delayed formal announcement that General Carranza’s suggestion for a commis- sion would be accepted. The Washington government wants to widen the scope of the commis- sion’s investigation beyond General Carranza’s suggestion that it discuss withdrawal of American troops, meas- ures to protect American border in- terests from bandits and the prigin of raids. It was assumed that Mr. Arredondo was able to assure M Polk today that his government was willing the commissioners should also investi? gate economic and financial relations between the two countries with the hope of finding means to aid Mexico in the restoration of peace and order. Whether a compromise plan was pro- posed which proved acceptable not made known. There is every reason to believ howeve that as a s conterence both con- ferees felt that a definite announce- ment will soon be possible. ROADS T0 COMBINE Utilities Commission Gives Wi Hearing on Petition of Shore Line to Absorb Three Other Railways. Hartford, July 27.—The consolida- tion of the Norwich Traction and Westerly company, the Groton and Stonington Street Railway company and New London and East Lyme Street Railway company with the ' Shore Line Electric Raflways was the subject of a hearing before the pub- lic_utilities commission in the capitol today. The matter came before the commission in the shape of three pe- titions from the three first companies | mentioned for permission to sell to the Shore Line company and a peti- tion of the latter for the approval of the plan of purchase. The plan of consolidation provides for the purchase by the Shore Line company of the konds and stock of the three merging companies and the assumption of their floating in- debtedness. The transaction means a sum $8,103,122. The hond stock and | floating indebtedness of the thres companies were given as follow: Groton and Stonington Co. 1,137,- 025; the Norwich and W#sterly Co., $2,439,06; and the New London and East Lyme $4,527,061. The Shore Line company was rep- resented by Attorney W. J. Brennan and President R. W. Perkins and General Manager Samuel Anderson. The other companies were not repre- sented. There was no opposition to the petitions. of GLAD DR. AKED QUIT. Ford Pleased “Cranks And Nuts” Are Dropping Out. Detroit, July 27.—Commenting on Dr. Charles . ked's resignation from the Ford peace conferenc n Stockholm after he told newsnaper men the conference is composed of “cranks and nuts,’’ Henry Ford said: “I am surprised to hear that the conference has been made up of cranks and dreamers. But it is en- couraging to find this condition is rapidly being Improved by the process of resignation. If the conference members are nuts and fools, as they say, it is hard to figure out what the rest of Europe, the fighting part, is made up of. “The conference will continue Its work until Europe is brought back to the much milder form of insanity that is now at work in Stockholm. An | American probably will be chosen as a member in a short time. i sented a check for § STRONGER MARKET FOR STEEL MAKERS Iron Age Says Cutlook Is Im- proved Over Two Months Ago The Iron Surp: ng the highest estimates, the Steel Corporation’s $81,000,000 carnings in the past quarter, reported on Tue , following two remarkable statements of independent stcel com- confirm what the market has of tion of the producers of steel. panies, lately shown of the exceptional posi- Along with heavy tonnages of unfilled orders 2nd the large purchases Europe is yet to male in this country, they point to a stronger market in the remalnder of the year than indicated one or two month The week h: of rumors of larg: confirmed is t shells of $-in. and 9.2-in been actually placed for | running up to April 1, 1917. 2 | tiations for 6-in. to 12-in. shells | cuantitics representing heavy steel | tonnages are still under way and steel [ makers look for the placing of murc‘ orders soon.
