There was no objection to the per- sonal entry of the countess when she arrived on the President Lincoln of the Hamburg-American line. But she had with her Margaretta Lange, her nine- year-old niece. She and the child were richly dressed, wore many jewels and had occupied one of the most expensive Suites on the ship.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %.—With Sena- tor La Follette holding the threat of a filibuster that would indefinitely pro- long the session of Congress, the Senate to-day passed without @ roll call the Penrose resolution! to have the Clapp committee investigating campaign funda inquire into ‘correspondence or financtal transactions between John D.

It was learned that many friends of the one time actress, who is a strik- ing blonde and looks nearer twenty- five than forty-five, the age that ap- pears opposite her name on the im: migration department papers, have made vain efforts to bring about her speedy relea: The papers in tho case are somewhere between Now York and Washington, and nothing can be done until they arrive.

Col, Wilson began serving his sentence on Aug. %, 1911, He was taken to New York last May by one of the prison guards to testify in bankruptey proceed ings inatituted against the United Wire- lena Company. Several postponements of the case necessitated his being held in New York for more than a month and {t became known that the guard was al- lowing him a great deal of personal Mberty during that period, Instead of being kept in the Tombs he was per- mitted to stay in a private house, On one occasion, it id, ne was seen near his former haunts in Wall stroct The Department of Justice took notie of these reports and instituted an inves tigation. ‘The uard was dismiased and carly last month Wilson was returned to the Atlanta penitentiary, The United Wireless Company, built out of the decayed hulk of the American De Forest Wireless Tele- graph Company, had been going about four years when the Federal authori- tien raided the company's offices at No. 42 Broadway on June 12, 1910, and arrested Wilson and his fellow officers, Seven of the prisoners wero oon after indicted upon charges of swindling 28,000 stockholders out of between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, Of this it was alleged that Wilvon got almost $2,000,000, none of which has been uncovered since proceedings were brought against him, P.

Preliminary investigation into police graft made great progress to day by virtue of the fact that not only were the District-Attorney’s men engaged in accumulating evidence, but the Citizens’ Committee, the Aldermanic Committee and the Police Commissioner were all working along independent lines toward the same end. The information already gathered is so voluminous that action of a sensational character may be looked for within forty-eight hours. All the inquiries—each working independent of the other—have drawn together toward a common objective point. This appears to be Police Headquarters. Fat bank accounts, brokerage accounts and blocks of real estate to the credit of police officials and Police Department at- taches have been unearthed in varlous parts of the city. The develop- ments have reached a stage where names cannot be hidden much longer. A preliminary rumble of the shake-up that is expected when Come missioner Waldo gets into full action was experienced this afternoon in the announcement of the removal from the command of the detective force of the Fourth Inspection District of Acting Captain Arthur B, Gloster. The Commissioner, after a personal talk with Gloster, ordered him to desk duty in the East Sixty-seventh street precinct.
