AGAINST AFFINITY Witness in What May Be “White Slave” Case So moved by strong emotions, u’;lc gazed fixedly at the alleged betrayer of his home and cause of his wife's deserting himself and infant for a gravely questionable life, that his voice frequently broke and tears filled his eves despite every attempt to conceal his feelings, Willlam Vogel of Reading, Pa., veteran of the Mexican border and member of a Pennsyl- vania regiment momentarily expecting a call into federal service, appeared. before Judge James T. Meskill in police court today as principal witness against Charles Albanaki, former res- taurant employe and real estate sales- man of this city and Boston, accused on charges of grave misconduct with Mrs. Minerva Vogel, X B Under his fixed gaze, Albanaki was clearly ill at ease, sat with half- closed eyes and seemed relieved when taken to a cell belaw. Through Ats torney M. D. Saxe, the accused waived examination and defense, probable cause being found. He was bound over to the June term of superior court with bondg, continued at $1,500. As a result of the substantiating of information formerly possessed in less definite form by the authorities, Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett will furnish United States District At- torney Thomas J. Spellacy with a copy of the testimony as the basis of ex- pected proceedings under the Mann “white slave” law. Mrs. Vogel, who callapsed in the woman’s detention rooms at police headquarters follow- ing preliminary arraignment Monday, is seriously i1l with scarlet fever at the Hartford isolation hospital. It will be weeks before she can stand trial. Important Witness Missing. James Controveles, proprietor of the restaurant just west of the Main street Tailroad crossing, formerly as- sociated with Albanaki and the per- son whom it is alleged employed Mrs, ‘Vogel as a waitress, did not appear in response to the caurt’s summons and a capias was ordered issued. It was testified’ that Mr. Vogel came to New Britain from her home on Good Fri-! day, that Albanaki sent her a raflroad ticket and $3 additional witth which to pay expenses. It is upon this testi- mony that the authorities expect Mann law proceedings will be brought. According to the testimony, Albanaki secured the money to buy the ticket and the $3 from Controveles. Whether the latter was aware of the purpose for which it was to be used has not been ascertained. It was a quarrel on Church street between the two that attracted the attention of Policeman Thomas C. Dolan “last Saturday afternoon an ged the in- vestigation résilting” ¥ 'the ‘arrests. Mrs. Vogel, according#o the authori- tles, immediately entered the Contro- veles restaurant in this city. her arrival in this city. Vogel's learning of his wife being in this city and suspicious of her com- panionship resuited, according to his statement, from the finding of several letters after she left that are alleged to have been written to her by Alban- aki and to have been largely responsi- ble for her leaving home. He said that he had no warning that she was going to leave, was. working in the shop on the day she did and received information about her departure from a relative. The letters, although the authorities are reticent upon this de- tail, are believed to contain damag- ing evidence. “It is lucky for Alban- aki thatyhe did the work by corre- spondence and remained at a distance, instead of visiting Reading,” an- nounced Vogel after court. His ap- pearance created a favorable impres- sion, both in-testimony and attitude, while no sympathy was expressed for the one alleged to have broken up the home and induced a wife and mother to leave. Met at Birthday Party. According to, Vogel, the acquaint- anceship of his wife and Albanaki started about two years ago when the former eave a birthday party and the latter, then a salesman for real estate in Pennsylvania, was a guest. There seemed to be a strong fascination for his wife, he says, in the salesman that resulted in alleged intimacy and pro- cedure causing friction. He has cause to believe that correspondence has been continued since then and has been the cause of much of his domes- tic troubles, According to his story, they were married March 6, 1915, but domestic friction materialized and they. parted June 6 of that year. Their affairs did not harmonize, he admitted, until his return from the border after a cred- itable showing with the Pennsylvania troops in federal service. The couple was re-united shortly afterwards and there was every prospect of a happy home and domestic happiness until the wife left without warning and was next heard of as being under ar- rest in this city. The landlady of the Church room- ing house, where the couple occupied a room following the arrival of Mrs. Vogel in this city, and her daughter testified. They sald Albanaki arrived at the house with Controveles as a companion Good Friday, engaged a room, said that he was married and that “his wife” would arrive a little later. The man and woman returned, she was introduced as “the wife” and the room was occupied until the ar- rests. The first week’s rental, it was testified, was pald by Albanaki and the second week’s rental by Mrs. Vogel. She said that she had no sus- picions that there was anything out of the way, that Mrs. Vogel appeared to be all right and a congenial sort of a woman. The Xposure and ar- rests came as a shock to both, they testified. The police have been in- NEW BRITAIN DAiLY HERALD. SATURDAY, VON RINTELEN W TESTIFY AGAINST EX-REP. BUCHANAN S_F. VON RINTELEN O Franz Von Rintelen, who in the first year of the war was one of the mainsprings of the German ' secret service system and who, in that ca- pacity, came to the United States in April, 1915, to instigate strikes in munition plants, and who is also sus- pected of having conspired with Vic toriano Huerta to bring about war between the United States and Mex- ico, arrived in New York from a pris- on camp in England.

New York, April 28.—More and more the security markets come under control of the war. This week the American loan to the Allies was the chief factor. On Wednesday our government loaned $200,000,000 to the British government; the first “trans- action under the new $7,000,000,000 war measure. So perfect were the ar- rangements and so skillfully were they carried out, that this huge trans- action, the largest of its kind in our history, was carried through -with only a ripple in the money market. It Is the first of a series of similar transactions with our allies which will continue while the war lasts. Italy, France and Russia may also seek pro- portionate aid, and there 1is every reason ta believe that our = govern- ment will regulate all.- these .trans- actions in a fashion that will leave the least disturbance. The extent of these issues will of course depend upon the length of the war, and it is unwise to delude ourselves with expectations of a very early peace, Now that the United States has joined the Allies, their victory is more certain than ever, but the ability of Germany to keep up ghe war is not yet exhausted, while owing to internal dissensions-the Russian outlook is not entirely satis- factory. ‘The effect of the $7,000,000,000 loan will unquestionably be stimulating in some respects. There is no doubt whatever but that the issue will be a tremendous success and largely aver- subscribed. That of course will prove encouraging and will promote confl- dence. Then the bulk of this huge sum will be spent at home for supplies of all sorts, benefitting many indus- tries and filtering through many channels of trade. By issue on the installment plan inflatian will be kept' down to a minimum, though for minerals, metals and products of the same high prices must be expected as long as the war continues. Our farmers, too, are sure of goad prices; 8o the activities induced by war are by no means at an end. At the same time it will hardly be prudent to over- look the effect of withdrawing such vast sums from the ordinary channels of investment. Eventually this whole sum must be taken out of profits and savings that would otherwise go large- ly into new enterprises. The pros- pect of seven billions of new govern- ment bonds being placed on the mar- ket in comparatively few months is a factor that cannot be ignored. This seven billions will be devoted chefly to destructve and not , constructve purposes, which means that many concerns new and old wanting capi- tal applications have been almost en- tirely suspended, and while the same will not happen here, still the amount available for such purposes will large- 1y contract. Capital will be relatively scarce, and like other utilities will command high rates. This may mean higher rates of interest for an indefl- nite period ,and a general adjustment of investment values to new enxiron- ment. While the tendency of values to fall under higher interest rates will be offset by continued high profits, it should be remembered that the latter will be reduced by the great rise In expenses and the proposed heavy taxes upon war profits. Added to these drawbacks are the vast un- certainties of the war, such as a German collapse or a set back to the Allies, either of which would ‘tem- porarily affect values. The relatively low price of United States Steel, in spite of almost unimaginable profits, can only be attributed to such dis- trust of their continuance. How long general inflation will go on is beyond human foresight; the only possible check at the moment being exhaustion of buying power, which is -not yet in evidence except in a few cases, The American food situation is a serious one, although there is no occa- sion for alarm and least of all for hysterical action. A reasonable in- crease of production together with general economy, which high prices will accomplish more surely than any government interference, will soon bring at least partial relief. Com- plete relief cannot be expected until the war ends and indeed some time after. The food problem is not ours only, it is a warld problem, induced by the great war which has taken mil- lions of men from agricultural pur- suits, at the same time immensely increasing the waste of faod, The § menace of scarcity in this country is| Midvale ....... small, compared with what it {s abroad; but the production of food, both grain and meats, has.not begun to keep pace with the gain in popu- lation. while our exparts have in- creased immensely owing to the war. We are now facing the new crop season which may result in a partial Recent weather conditions have been more favorable. No settled tendencies can be dis- covered in the stock market. for or- dinary judgment is completely at sea when balancing such huge uncertain- ties. Twa things, do, however, seem certain; the general situation is finan- clally sound, and confidencé is appar- ently well established. Our great good fortune in having a banking system equal to the unexpected emer- gencles thrust upon it not yet ap- preciated as it should be. Without the Federal Reserve system we should have long ago been on the edge of distrust, and it is doubtful if we could have taken our part financially with the Allies as successfully as we have done had that system not been in working operation. The high prices of commodities is a matter that re- quires serious consideration, especially as the cost of many of the necessaries of life has risen-to a level that is sure ta provoke much unrest, the recog- ition of which is seen in the efforts of the government to control the food situation. A still further widening of government activities must be ex- pected, however unwelcome they may be.
