new YORK POLICE
GRAFT DISCLOSED
Women, Led by Berthe Claiche,
Expose Corruption to
Bingham.


New York, March, S.-Abraham Levy,
one of the counsel for the defense in
the trial of Berthe Claiche for the MUIR
der of Emile Gendron, has laid bare be-
fore Commissioner Bingham the fact re-
slating to police corruption, as the little
French girl had found it in, the Tender
!. loin. Her confession, as outlined by
Levy, concerned, three, or possibly four,
! men connected with the nineteenth pre-
cinct in 1904 Or 1905. --.e So
That the confession Of the Claiche girl
will be made the basis for a wide in
3puiry into police methods is the general
belief among those who have followed
the sensational events Of the young
woman s trial.
I Levy and Assistant District Attorney
Ely are acting in thoro accord, and will
I do all in their power to prove the truth
Of the Claiche girls charges, that for
years she and other women Of the
streets have been compelled to pay the
pet men of the police department. a
I weekly stipend for a "hands off,
policy. -.~
! After the meeting between Commits
sioner Bingham, Mr.. Levy and Assist
ant District Attorney Ely, Berthe
{ Claiche was taken to the district attor'
i ney's office, where she made a sworn
statement Of all she knew relative to
police methods in the Tenderloin.
! Following the visit Of Berthe Claiche
came half dozen women of the street
who had been summoned to make SINH.
lar affdavits before Mr.. Ely. Some OF
/ them had been witnesses in the recent
!. trial, while others had been gathered
! from resorts in the same neighborhood
It was said in the corridors Of the
& criminal court building today that al
least a dozen members of the former
vice squad are implicated in the dis
closures of these women. All these men
are now patrolling lonely districts or
the outskirts Of the city.

FARLEY MORE PEACEFUL
Ministerial Crisis Astounds Delegates to
Moroccan Conf ference. -.

Algeciras, Spain, March .S.-The min
isterial crisis in Paris caused profound
establishment among the, delegates of
the powers attending, the Moroccan con-
ference, but the details have not yet
reached Algeciras. The. impression
prevails that the. event is deplorable
and may possibly prove disastrous to
French diplomacy. The delegates,
however, refuse to commit themselves
on the effect which the downfall of the
Rouvier cabinet may have on the con-
ference.
Previous to the receipt Of the news
of the ministerial crisis at the French
capital, the tone Of encouragement had
completely disappeared and the work
OF rapprochement was proceeding with
feverish activity
The conference this morning resumed
the discussion of the Moroccan police
question. Three distinct propositions
were presented-one by the Austrian
delegation enlbodying the : German
ideas; another BY the. French and the
third by, the Moroccan mission. The
presentation of the plans brings the
| contestants much closer together. :, -

Their medicines gave me no relief,
