Ernest L. Isbell, of New Haven, former com-| mander of the 102d regiment, today was| appointed by Governor Lake to be a member of the state police commission. The appointment was announced soon after the governor signed the state po- lice department. Under the bill the oth-| er two members of the state police com-| mission are Robbins B. Stoeckel, motor | vehiule commissioner, and Harvey 1| Bissell, comptroller. Technically the old state police depart- ment ceased to exist when the governor signed the bill. It was said, however, that Superintendent Egan and his force would remain on duty until the new com- mission holds a meeting and decides on| steps of reorganization. The new commission has the author- ity to appoint a superintendent of the state police for a term of four years, at a salary of 4,000 a year. The superin- tendent has authority to name, subject to the approval of the commission, 50 state policemen. As the new law practically | combines the motor vehicle inspection department with the state police depart- ment, it is considered likely that many motor vehicle inspectors will be appoint- ed to the state police force. i [ CHARGED WITH THEFT OF AUTOMOBILE TIRES New Haven, Conn., June 2.—Martin Kennedy, 28, Andrew Chundy, 26, Clinton Scott, 23, and Peter Quinn, 19, all of Stamford, were brought here tonight and locked up for the federal authorities.

IMPLICATE SAVINGS BANKS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES New York, June 2.—Some of the larg- est savings bands and firc and life iin- surance companies in America, the Lock- wood legislative committee learned today have frequently compelled borrowers who wanted to erect buildings to purchase un- desirable real estate held by these in- stitutions before they would grant the \requests for loans. ) The real estate unloaded in this way came into the possession of these cor- porations through foreclosures, and they Were anxious to be rid of it. Among the corporations accused by witnesses of having done business in this way were the Prudential Life Insurance Company, New York Savings Bank, Man- hattan Life Insurance Company, Mutual Life Insurance, Empire City Savings Bank, Brooklyn Savings Bank, Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn and others. _ In some of the transactions the lend- ing corporations also compelled borrowers to accept Liberty bonds at par, witnesses said, althouh these securiities frequent- ly were worth 10 per cent. below par and less. Brokers acting as a go-between in the deals often took commissions from the banks and insurance companies for finding buyers for their undesirable real estate, and then, turned around and col- lected from the borrowers because they helped procure he loan. Yet it was all one ‘transaction and the loan con- ditioned on the purchase of other prop- erty, one of these brokers, Sydney H. Hughes admitted to the committee. He denied, however, that his firm made a_specialty of look'ax around for companies that had real estat they want- d to unload ond then finding @ builder Who desired to borrow some money and couid not find any other way to get it. Mr. Hughes went into detail In describ- ing many such transactlons in which he had been in charge of arrangements. In one of them Ephraim Levy, head of a realty business, was required to pur- sths $687.000 'some real estate owned by the Multual Life Insurance in order to obtain a loan of $1,500,000 at 6 per cent, on property appraised at $2,900,000. In_similar fashion, he described how the Prudential Life Insurance Company unloaded an old-fashioned fram hotel for §115.000 on a borrower of $650,000. Dealers in real estate moragages like- ¢ drew the committee's interest. Abel King. one such buyer, admitted that he had paid an average of 20 per cent. less the face value of 57 mortgages ag- rezating §1,700,000. In some instances Uhe face value of the mortgage—the amount upon which the borrower paid him interest—was 50 per cent. higher than what he paid for it. The borrower paid interest on the entire amount, how- ever, thus, as he paid off the principal in quarterly installments and . continued to pay § per cent. on the face vaiue the tual interest rate rose higher and high- er. In one of Mr. King's transactions it reached 126 per cent. on the eighth pay- ment, and in another 125 per cent., it was testified by F. H. Parsons, a certi- fied accountant, who examined the books, DECLINES CHATRMANSHIP OF THE SHIPPING BOARD Washington, June 2—Walter C. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, today eliminat- ed himself from those under considera- tion by President Harding for chairman of the shipping board. Having learned that his name had been placed before the president as a possibility for the position, Mr. Teagle came tn Washington and informed “'r. Har Ve fregreied that cyremd | made it impossible at this time im to_consider severance of his con- nections with the Standard Oil Company.

The president had hoped to close the whole mattar 4his week but k was indicated after the 'nterview with Mr. Teagle that there would be another de- After his talk with the president Mr. Teagle issued this statement: “It is highly gratifying to have been mentioned in connection wi#h the chair- manship of the shipping board, and I greatly regret that circumstances mak it inexpedient for me officially to assist the president in his determination to bufld up a great American Merchant Ma- rine. 1 ‘The question of future petroleum sup- plies and the efforts of foreigners to ex clude this country has developed a very real problem.

CONFERENCES ON PAPER MILL STRIKES Albany, N. Y., June 2.—Conferences here between representatives of striking paper mill workers throughout the United States and Canada and Floyd L.

Senator Kellogg said that the measure was put forward to raise the issue, and not to| apply necessarily to any specific situa- | ton. Under the bill, the president would be | authorized, when in his judgment any| statute of a state or territory contra- vened treaty rights of aliens to instruct the attorney general to take up defenss of civil or criminal prosecutions brousht by state officials before state courts for| trial. - The federal courts would tal jurisdiction when any acts had been com- mitted against aliens which would con stitute crimes under state laws and pen alties similar to those provided in the state statutes would be imposed in case of acts against American citizens. Unit- ed States marshals and, if necessary my. or navy forces, to_enforce decisions. Under present conditions there is mno law authorizing intervention by the fed- cral government for the protection of aliens in state proceedings, Senator Kel- logg said. The bar association bill, he| added, was intended to make clear the rights and duties of - the federal gov- ernment. The bill was referred to the forelgn Telations committee, of Which Senator Kellogg is a member. He said his own opinion as to the advisability of its en- actment would be withheld fo await the committee’s report. Senator Kellogg did mot care to com- ment on the possibility that the measure would apply to the Japanese question on the Pacific coast, though the terms of the bill apparently would give the fed- eral government power to intervene in anti-alien land proceedings under such | acts as the California law, in case treaty rights of aliens appeared to be jeopar- dized. ar- would be available TERMS OF SETTLEMENT OF NEW YORK CLOTHING STRIKE New York, June 2—The 24 weeks' la- bor controversy in the men's industry was formerly ended ernoon’ when representatives Amalgamated Clo Clothing Manufacturer: signed a new agreement.
