J. Faurot, for the arrest on a charge of abduction of a man who is alleged to belong to a band engaged in kidnap- ping girls, taking them to South American ports, and selling them to confederates in South® America, The: man, or one .of ‘his associates {1t is said, attempted to murder the woman known as Mrs. Consuelo La ‘Rue on last Sunday night -at her hame, 215 West A Eightieth. street. ‘While .no one in the confidence of Mrs. La Rue has said anything to clear up mystery of her position in relation to the Cruger case, de- velopments yésterday indicated, that her investigations or her experiences gave her information about the or- ganization said to be in the business of selling women to South America, which incidentally involved Alfredo Cocchi. The importance of Mrs. La Rue's revelations became apparent yester- day when William J. Flynn, chief of the United States Secret Service, took charge for the federal government of the investigation of Miss La Rue’s in- formation and of the attack upon her lfe, Fresh developments regarding the man charged with abduction had been laid yesterday befors Mrs. Humiston and Inspector Faurot while they were in a search of 'the premises &djoining Ajfred Cocchi’s shop in West 127th street, where the body of Ruth Cruger was buried. They dropped that line of investigation at once and hurried in an automobile to the home of an Itallan woman on the east side and took her to the office of Chief Magistrate McAdoo in Mul y street. The woman, who speaks anly broken English, told how her daugh- ter had been abducted last August by a man who frequently had visited the house. . Mrs. Humiston added infor- mation' in her possession regarding the alleged trade in women carried on between this city and Letin-American cauntries. gave detalls to sup- port a charge’that jn a previous in- stance the same man had abducted a girl in this city and sold her in Buenos Aires. - Inspector Faurot sent detectives in search of the man, whose present whereabouts is not definitely known. It was said that the search will be made first in a Southern city. Mrs. Humiston sald yesterday that she did not absolutely know whether Mrs, Le Rue had any information concerning Alfredo Coechi or the Cruger case, Further evidence de- veloped yesterday to show that, be- fore her jump, Mrs. La Rue had been in extreme danger and was = well aware of it. David Rose, the land- lord of the apartment house, told Mrs. Humistom that, the night before the attack made an her, Mrs. La Rue had sald that her life was in peril and had asked that, if anything should happen to her, Mr. Rose)| should take care aof any letters or telegrams that should arrive and pre- vent them from falling into the hands of others, Because of the ¢vidence that an at- tack upon Mrs. La Rue was probable, Mrs. Humiston sent J. J. Kron, a pri- ‘vatedetective, to the house that night to protect her, w‘hlle for some reason or otncr other ' detectives followed BUFPALO T0 WASHINGTON IS 'ROU'IE OF MISS STINSON'S nm cnoss FLIGHT BXe MISS KATRERINE STIRSON 20 'Word was receiv\ed from | Buffalo that all ‘arrahgeménts for an aero: plane flight by Katherine Stinson, the well-known youthful aviatrix of Chi- ca, had been completed. It was said she would fiy from Buffalo to Wash: ington, stopping .at New York cityl E | Kron. In spite of these precautions, the attick on Mrs. La Rue occurred. The, federal investigation yesterday developed that Jose A./del Compo, a Latin-American consul, had'ocalled at the house at 215 West Eilghtieth street the day after the attack had been made on Mrs. La Rue, and made in- quiries about her. Mr. del Campo said that he had had an engagement with the young woman the night be- fore, and that she had failed to- kgep it. Mr, del Campo said: “The young woman is well know: in Buenos Alres. She comes from on of the best families in the Argentine:” Some of the activities of the young : woman before the attacks on her in- ! dicated that she was engdged in an in- vestigation of the international white | slave traffic, and that she was in the | employ of Some government. It was) reported vesterday that she had been engaged by Jose A. del Campa as the sister of a Latin-American consular official stationed at New Orleans. ‘The evidence that, besides killing Ruth. Cruger, Cocchi had attacked four other young womén in the work- shop in the basement of his store, led Inspector Faurot ta consider it neces- sary to search among the ashes for traces of bones, MANY FIGHTERS ARE LOYAL TO RUSSIA/ Growing Feehng of Support for lle' Government in Gountry Petrograd, June 28.—In spite of the disorders at Zebastopol and anarchist threats here, there are indications of a nrarked improvement in the situa- tion with a growing support of the gavernment and a.growing animosity , against the forces which makes for disintegration in the army. A resolution admits that transfer of all power to the' democracy would weaken the revolution, This is the democracy's own admission that it needs the knowledge and experience of the educated class, By declaring for the speedy attain- ent of a general peace and at the sdme time for an increase in ' the fighting capacity of the army the con- gress repudiated the program of a separate peace. Equally, important ‘was the vote 9of the peasants’ congress representing 130,000,000 approving the ‘expulsion of the German pacifist agent’ Robert Grimm,” and' inviting volunteers to enter ‘the army -and strengthen it by their example. 3 Cossacks Speeches of similar tenor in the Cossack congress were still more em- phatic, so much so that the extremist -n-rchlsts organ repudiated the resurrection of the nagalka the Cos- sack whip formerly used for suppress- ing disturbances. A representative of the Amur Cossacks declared that ,000,000 Cossacks were ready ta fight in support of the revolution. A representative of the Kuban Cossacks added: “We shall support the provisional government if necessary with rifles and sword: A delegate from the Ukraine, formerly the location of the famous Saporoo Cossacks, declared that his countrymen would fight side by.side with the Cossacks until an- archy was beaten into the dust, ‘Want Independence.
