Wells and a representative of the Messenger ! Manufacturing Co., of Tatamy, Pa., made complaint to the police and the arrest of Webster followed. i When interviewed this morning, E. Allen Moore, chairman of the board of directors of the Stanley ‘Works, *stated that there was some truth to the story, although he was not fully conversant with the details. Presi- dent C. ¥, Bennett and Treasurer J.ouis W. Young were out of town and comid not be reached. Mri -Moore sald the matter was handied entirely through the New York foreign office and that the local ' concern usually abides by the judgment of that office. Asked it any action would be taken by the Stanley Works. against Web- " gter,, he said it depended upon the New York office. Wells. Starts Investigation. Representatives of seven of the 37 corporations: said to be involved tes- tified before a New York grand jury, including the two specific complain- ants, the United States Sandpaper corpofation of 88 Warren street and the Nessenger Manufacturing com- pany of Tatany, Pa., Mr. Geraty said. An investigation was started after Samuel Wells, an insurance broker, with offices in the Produce Exchange building, who says Webster, hired him to interest manufacturers in a| corpotation to the formed and known as the Webster Trading corporation, complained to the district attorney's office that he believed a crime was being committed. Wells in his testimony before the grand jury said that Webster told the manufacturers that he represented an influential group of Russian and| Japanese diplomats who were plan- ning to undermine the soviet govern- ment and establish the United States of Russia, with Viadivostok as’ the capital. The plan, according to Wells, | was to enable these manufacturets to sell their products direct to the “new Russian government,” thereby elim- inating the middleman’s profit. lobert Lansing former secretary of state, was interested in the plan. Webster is alleged to have told his clients. Wells sald the plan sounded good to American business men who had been wanting “to get in on the ground floor for the expected Russian trade boom” and that at the meetings of the representatives of the 37 corpo- rations he ifiduced each corporation to put up $1,000-to be held in escrow for stock in the ‘company to be formed. Webster, according to Wells, told the manufacturers that he could not divulge the names of Russian and Japanese diplomats through whom he was working but promised to ar- range a meeting between them and the manufacturers at his office., When this meeting, after several postponements, falled to materialize, | several of the manufacturers, accord-| ing to Wells, asked Webster to rt‘turn’ their money and were told that he had spent it in entertaining the diplo- mats. i Gave Receipts for Contributions. A form letter which Mr. Geraty said Webster sent to the manufac- turers to acknawledge receipt of the! $1,000 said that the moncy was for| “the purchase 6f one thousand dol-| lars' worth of preferred stock of a; corporation organized to do business under the laws of the state of New| York and for convenience referred| to as the ‘trading company’ (but hav- ing in fact a different corporate name). And this reccipt should act| as a duc bill thereof.” | Webster had told the munufu:tur-[ ers, Wells said, that he would “lay all his cards on, the table and divulge! the names of thé Russian and Japa-| nese diplomats” as soon as the new Russian government could be estab- lished, and that any one becoming diszatisfied before that time might get his money back. One of the in- vestors did get his money back, sald Welis, after Webster learned that he Tool Works, Allentown, Pa.; E. C.

London, March T. ogne correspondent learns on the highest authority that French and British representatives are still com- —Reuter's Col- pletely deadlocked over the question | of moving French troops through the British zone. General 8ir Arthur Godley, com- manding British trcops at Cologne, and General Payota, French chief of transportation in the occupied region, held two conferences on Monday. At- in the house of commons and thelthese, the correspondent says, General political clubs over the defeat of John ‘Waller Hills, financial secretary of the treasury in a primary by-election spread to the general public: today when the result became Kknown through the newspapers. | Aside from the unprecedented de-| feat of three ministers in succession | only a few months after the new gov- | ernment came into power, the sig- nificance of the breach . .in the solid conservative phalanx -of imprasses the public.’ “Mr. Hillg was defeated in the Edge Hill division of that city by a plurality of about 1,000 votes. The séat was won by J. H. Hayes, the labor candidate, who is sald to have been surprised at his Tiverpool | Godley flatly refused the French de- mands, wheretipon General Payota., said he would appeal to T.ondon. The French ask the right to run trains between Bonne and Neuss,| which would involve “a 80 minute| shunting operation on the part of] every train in the Cologne central station. The British contend, the cor- respondent -asserts, that . this seriously hamper traffic and woMd lead to a strike of the German staff,| making the British position unten- | able.! The correspondent understands that the German railwaymen in the British zone are not only under orders to| strike. in case the French take over the railroads, but to inaugurate wide-! victory. With the exception of the Scotland division of Liverpool, which the vet-| eran nationalist, Thomas P. O'Con-| nor has represented since 1885, every | one of Liverpool's 11 divisions has been represented by a conservative for many years. Sir W. W. Ruther- ford, the sitting member for Edge Hill, who retired to provide a seat for Mr, Mills after the latter was taken into the cavinet, has bheen re- turned by large magorities in every election for the past 20 years. | It is noteworthy that only 58 per| cent. of the elcctorate voted yester-| day. This showing is generally at-| tributed to a re sal to support a nominee conservative whose policy!| on the housing question and some other issues is held in profound dis- approval by a factlon of the conserv-| atives. | Another factor in Mr. Hills' defeat, according to some observers was the women's vote. There are more than| 14,000 women electors in the con-| stituency and it is among the women that the hostility toward the govern-| ment is generally manifest. From whatever angle the result is| spread sabotage. ONCE ACTED IN MOVIES.
