Foye, who was once the private sec
retary Of John w. Gates and later OF
his son. obtained more than S2OO,UOO
from five Philadelphia brokerage firms.
including that of which Mr.. Brown IS
the head.
Foye's first bid for notOriety was in
the summer Of 1900, when he told
magistrate in Jefferson Market Court
that he was sorry TO acknowledge his
own mother.
He had caused the aged woman's ar
rest, accusing her of threatening him.
She was i'll, and her condition was APP
parent to the court. The magistrate
suggested that Foye should contribute
TO her maintenance in her illness, at
least. Foye replied.
Il won't pay a nickel for her. Tn
fortunately, ! was born Of that
woman. That wasn't my fault. don't
care what happens TO her If she is Ill
she ought TO be sent to a hospital
He was then assistant manager in
Charles W. Gates's office, in the Wal
dorf- Astoria. He was compelled to pay
her $50 a month.
For a time he dropped out Of sight.
He continued as Gates's assistant man
ager and secretary, and in 1909 became
associated with the firm of Charles r.
Byram. Of Boston, and represented II
on the floor of the Consolidated Ex-
change until IL was suspended follow
ing charges of bucket shopping. In
October OF the same year he struck out
for himself as a broker and, obtaining
the necessary sponsors, was admitted
to membership in the Consolidated En-
change. He did but little trading on
the floor.
For nearly three years he maintained
his position, falling for $1,000 little
over "A year ago. This led TO his sus-
pension, but a month ago he returned
to the Street. paid his debts TO the Ex-
change and to its members, and was
readmitted to membership. At that
time he was clerk I'm the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company. at SIS a
week. He had an interview with NJ E.
de Aguero president of the Exchange,
before his reinstatement, and showed
him a bank balance OF more than $4,000.
Investigated Foye..
During Foye's career as a Consoli-
dated broker. a man who is employed
by big banking houses and brokerage
firms in the Street TO protect them
from the unscrupulous had occasion TO
induire into Foye's affairs. His report
TO his employers was that Foye was
a spendthrift and unworthy of conii-
dence. one thing that mystified this
Investigator was the extensive -tele-
phone system with which Foye's Of
fee I'm Broad street was fitted up.
There were many telephones in his Of
flee. but where they led to this man
could not learn. IL was his opinion
that they led to some outlawed bucket
shop. and when this man thought he
was about TO solve the mystery, Foye
failed and gave up his offices.
Foye was unpopular with his asso-
ciatcs on the Exchange. This was due

fiscal year, however, 1t has been possible
to ascertain exactly what deficiencies

state of California, for at least anothe,

At the expiration of that period the
Webb alien land downing act will become
effective. and the way will be opened
for a judicial test o. its constitutionality
The State Department is looking to the
Japanese government to take the militia
tive in securing a judicial determination
of the question as to whether that act
is in conflict with existing treaties or
whether it violates privileges to which
the Japanese are entitled under the broad
principles of international law.
While the Japanese negotiators have
unofficially expressed the opinion that
it is the duty of the United States gov
eminent to make that test. following a
precedent established during the Roose-
Welt administration in connection with
the exclusion of Japanese pupils from the
California public schools. the State De-
partment has declined to accept that
obligation

There has been some apprehension ex-

State Department officials, however, say
