ANOTHER AFFIDAVIT IN NEW YORK VICE PROBE New York, March purporting to- supplement allegeq evi- dence that s.stant District Attor- uey Jjames E. Smith used his office to protect vice, contained in six affi- davits by Police Inspector Dominick enry, was made public tonight at the instance of Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright. The affidavit was signed by John G. Purdie, a former agent of the Army Intelligence Service, and charged the assistant district attorney with fail- ure to prosecute Alfred E. Lindsay, New York clubman, who was indicted in June, 1919, upon the testimony of Purdie and Mrs. Beatrice Estes Weille that he had impersonated a secret service agent and had madg improper proposals to Mrs. Weille, Purdie's affidavit declared he was summoned about six weeks ago by Colonel August Drum Porter, third deputy police commissioner, who told him he wids anxious to have Lindsay brought to trial. ‘Colonel Porter,” the affidavit add- ed, “asked me to try and find out ‘where Mrs. Weille was and I did, and just then Colonel Porter was indicted by Mr. Smith.” Colonel Perter is under indictment for neglect of duty in connection with the vice war being waged between the police department and district at- torney’s office. Purdie's affidavit stated that in Mareh, 1919, he heard a woman at Yonkers, who, it later developed, was a friend of Colonel Porter, had given Lindsay $15,000.

New York, March 31. — Further dealings in Stutz Motor shares, one of the recent meteoric features of the stock exchange, were temporari- ly suspended by special act of gov- ernors of the exchange after the close of today's session. This applies not only to trading on the floor of the exchange, but also to private transactions between mem- bers outside of the exchange and is without precedent in the history of that institution. i Officials of the stock exchange de- clined to explain or In any way am- plify the action of the governing com- mittee, which confined its statement to the bare announcement that furth- er trading would be suspended. Stutz has been ‘the most conspicu- ous stock of the last few weeks. ris- ing from 123 1-2, its final price on March 6, to 391 at the ciose of today’s trading. The advance had been steady. at.daily .gains’ of 10 to almost 30 points. Approximately 110,000 shares have changed on the rise, or about 10,000 shares more than the entire issue. This is not unusual in itself, as many active stocks are turned over several times in excess of their total issue duriag an s.\ive period running in- to several weeks or more. 1 w.khu “fto the Turkish by the allies. week. ars. by North Albanian’ being, Epirus are P Oxford Un Smy; Bar gold was fine ounce in London, 1058 at last clse. llar was quoted at 14 frs. 80c in Paris, compared with 14 frs. 49c at previous close. hicago bankers will lend $100,0000,- oog dll:rh\s 1920 to home builders in an effort to end housing shorfage.

No statement was_ obtainable from the Ryan interests, other tha that they knew nothing of any attempt to “cor- ner the stock” which they said had been available for buying or loaning purposes throughout its advance. Stock exchange gossip has associ- ated the sensationa] rise of Stutz with reports that a prominent steel man went heavily “short” of the stock some 200 points under today's record quotation and that he was. being “squeezed”. by those in control of the property. There were other rumors that Stutz and several motor specialties dom- of motor interest in process of or- zanization by one of the leading a tomobile companies of the country Tater it was announced that A. A. Ryan and Company nad caused an advertisement to be inserted in the finacial columns of the local news- papers offering to purchase any shares of Stutz Motor that may be offered for sale. This was done, it was said. to protect owners of the stock against the suspension ordered by the New York stock exchange.

A majority of the troops are demanding payment of their wages immediately gnd a paymaster with money was rushed in an automobile to the front. It is believed, however, a large element of the workers' ammy will not lay down its arms. The leaders are determined not to surrender and in the opinion of many of the workingmen hvae decided to make an effort to have the mines blown up, if the government' troops advance, as the belief in the rangs is that the government will not grant amnesty to the leaders. Communica- tion between Essen and the outside world was interrupted for many hours, beginning with midnight on Moriday, the telegraph and telephone offices being deserted except for guards stationed at them, FAMILY ASKS CONSERVATOR FOR RICHARD CROKER, SR.
