Washington, August 2—The United States Senate today issued a wamnimg to the nations of the world against encroachment upon the continents of the North and South America.

' That the two gunmen still (issing are hid- ing in the same reglon where Lewis was captured was the belief expressed at headquarters tonight,’ and it was reported that a squad of detectives are hot on'their trail. S:id to Be Hiding Near Auburn. Assistant District Attorney Moss sald, however, that he had received word from Auburn that the men were hiding in or near that city, and it is understood the detectives from the dis- trict attorney's office have been trying to run them down there for several days. Mr. Moss took charge of the case today in the absence of District Attorney Whitman, who left for Bos- ton early in the day, expecting to go to Manchester to remain over Sunday with his family. Directing his atten- tion to the police graft phase of the case, brought into prominence by the allegations of Jack Rose and Bridgie ‘Webber that the annual levy of black- mail by the police on illegal resorts amounted to $2,400,000, Mr. Moss sum- moned a number of gamblers and other characters of the underworld whom he closely questioned. The as- sistant prosecutor would not tell, however, what Information he had galined. Disousses Police Graft. “I do mnot think that the $2,400,000 graft figure named by Jack Rose Is an exaggeration,” said Mr. Moss to- night, “but the only absolute know- ledge of the real amount is in the pos- session of the grafter and not the grafted. Just who the grafters are— where the money is going—is the vital question. * The arrests of Whitey Lewis and Dago Frank, while impor- tant, are less important than to de- termine who is responsible at the top of the system which results at the bot- tom in murder.” Becker Still Silent. Mr. Moss added that he expected to go “very, very deeply” into the graft feature of the case in the course of the grand jury investigation. The grand jury did not meet today, but will resume its inquiry next week. Police Ideutenant Becker, locked in the Tombs. on the charge of instigat- ing the murder, still maintained his silence today when efforts were made to elicit an admission from him. WHITMAN IN BOSTON.

Only Four Votes Against It. It finally passed with only four votes against it. Notwithstanding the cém- parative unanimity of the Senate upon the note of warning, it is understood | that the measure did not have the offi- clal endorsement of the administra- tion. It was framed entirely outside the state department, and it is under- stood that the executive branch of the government was not consulted with re- | gard to the senate’s prenouncement. Relates to Magdalena Bay. The resolution arose from the re- ported attempt of a Japanese syndi- cate to secure land about Magdalena {bay. In the form finally adopted by the senate, it declares against the ac- | quisition of any threatening location by a foreign corporation, “which has such a relation to another government, not American, as to give that govern- ment practical power or ocontrol for naval or military purposes.” Applles to No Nation in Particular. Those who opposed ths resolution on its final passage were Benators Cummins, McCumber, Percy and Stone, Demand was made in the sec- ret session for the designation of the country toward which the resolution was directed. Those who supported it, including Benators Root, Lodge, Bur- ton, Hitchcock and others, declared it was not a warning to any nation in particular, but a definitlon of this country’s position, “before embarras- sing sftuations might arise.” TAFT CHILDREN ON A LONG HORSEBACK RIDE.
