Second Charge Lodged Against Donald L. PerSch,
 New York Note Broker
OPERATED IN PHILADELPHIA AND BOSTON
bought that Systematic Scheme Has Been Worked
 Whereby Stocks Supposed to be Secure in Bank Vaults Have Been Placed the Market-Estmated that Profits on Sale of Heinze Stock $52,000

are expected tomorrow. The men "higher up'' whom Persch intimated were associated with him have not been pinned doxn definitely as yet for Persch. acting on the advice of coun- sel, has kept his mouth shut.
 Tried Hard to Obtain Release.
 The young broker tried hard to ob- tain his release through habeas cor pus proceedings today but after a lengthy argument in the supreme court decision was reserved and with his bail still standing at S5O.000 he was forced to go back to the Tombs.
 Important Developments.
 About the most important fact un- earthed today was the existence of twelve checks all of which were signed by Pe-sch shortly after he had put the Heinze stock on the market for which he realized $95,000. One check for $4SS is made out to Charles Katz and two were drawn to the order of w. l.. Clark. One was for SASS and another for 10,009. Clark is the note broker in whose office Persch had desk room and who first approached M M. Joyce Heinzes representative with the information that he could obtain a loan at the Windsor Trust company. On the basis of the checks mentioned and others signed by Persch, the dis trict attorneys office estimated that the profits from the sale of Heinze's stock was approximately S52,000
 One indictment at least will be re- turned by the grand jury. according 10 Assistant Attorney Mott. But he in- inmates that there is a presiding genius behind the whole affair although he would not say who the man was.

New York Aug. 11.-With a second charge lodged against him Donald l.. Persch. the young note broker who was arrested charged with larceny of copper stocks belonging to F. Augustus Heinze, is still a prisoner tonight and while there were no additional arrests today the district attorneys office has ascertained that he was rot alone in the transaction. The case will be placed before the grand jury tomor- row and the evidence at hand. 1t is said. will reveal a systematic scheme worked not only in this city, but in Philadelphia anI Boston whereby stocks supposed to be tucked safely in the vaults of hanks have in reality been relinquished to individuals who placed them on the market at profit.
 Heinze Not the Only Sufferer.
 And though Mir. Heinze. according to Wall streets analysis of the affair, was at first thought to be a particular vic- tim. it has come out through the dis trict attorneys office that other men suffered likewise.
 One other man was. a | least thus nipred He is T. VI. Everett of Boston, whose New York brokers. Cram Alil- liken and company, made the addition al charge against young Persch to- day. According to that firm. Persch negotiated a loan of s7OoO on stock owned by Mir. Everett. The stock in question was 100000 shares of the Eclipse oil company and the name of Henry F. Risborough of Philadelphia appears as the man who furnished the money. Coincidentally one of Mir. Ris- borough's references was Charles Katz, the Brooklyn brewer who has been mentioned in the Heinze loan. The method in the Everett case, according to the charge made today. was similar to that through which the Heinze cop per stocks were put on the curb-that is the stocks were hypothecated after having been but up as security.
 Carlos Warfield. vice president of one of the Heinze copper companies. IS also said, to have lost considerable money through the same stock shifting game. Witness after witness was questioned at the district attorneys office today and further developments

IMMIGRANT. SOCIETIES.
Attention of Congress to 5e Called to
 Evils in Their Management.


 New York, Aug. 11.-The crusade against evils in the management of immigrant aid societies in this city, which began yesterday with the bar ring of two societies from Ellis Is- land. has shown conditions which of- ficials declare will be |called to the at- tention of congress at it's next ses- sion.
 Tn an interview here today Con- gressman William Bennett, a member of the commission appointed by con- gress in 1907 to investigate immigra- ton problems. says that an inquiry by the commission has shown that 75 per cent. of the so-called homes in New York have perverted the avowed purposes for which they were organ- ized The most serious charge made by Mir. Bennett Is that agents for disreputable resorts have been able in the past to go to these homes and ob- tain girls newly arrived from foreign countries, who believed that they wers about to find employment in desira- ble places. The agents have paid from s1 to $5 apiece for the girls thus secured, he says.
 The commission fin getting at tho facts of the situation here and in oth- CT cities employed detectives who sorts. They had no difficulty, it is said. in obtaining girls from the off, cials of certain homes.
 Similar evils have been found to exist in other American icties. and the crusade against them is likely to extend to several ports where large numbers of immigrants arrive. The commission will report to congress early in March of next year.

GRUEsoME EXHIBITS.
Skulls Used to illustrate Course of Bul-
 let in Sutton's Head.

Annapolis. Aug IA gruesome fea- ture was introduced in today's ses- sion of the inquiry into the death of Lieut.. James N. Sutton, Jr., of the U. $. marine corps. The legal repre- sentative of Mrs. Sutton. the mother of the dead lieutenant brought to the witness stand Dr. Edward Nj. Schaef fer of Washington, an expert on gum shot wounds. The people in the room, spectators and interested parties alike, crowded around the table and closely watched the doctor while he exhibited glistening skulls, to the exterior of which he affixed. in little Jumps of wax, steel rods intended to indicate the course of the bullet in the skull of Lieutenant Sutton. Lieutenant Ad- ams had previously given a dramatic illustration of the position of Lieu tenant Sutton when the fatal shot was fired. Tho doctor, too. stretched him. self upon the table and showed in pam tomime how. in his opinion as an ex- pert, it was quite impossible that Lieutenant Sutton could ever have fired into his own head the shot that put an end to lis life.
 One point upon which the witness put special stress was that Lieuten- ant Sutton could not under the cir cumstarces described in the testimony have exerted sufficient pull on the trigger of the revolver to discharge the weapon. Ghastly skulls and q flow of technical terms that kept the official stenogra phers busy asking for repetitions, were much in evidence during the afternoon and up to the time when court adjourned. Dr. Schaeffer was still on the stand un- der cross examination by Mir. Birney. counsel to Lieutenant Adams. when court adjourned until tomorrow.
 Sergt A. P Todd. who was corporal on guard the night Sutton was killed, also took the stand this afternoon.
