MORE CONFESSIONS
OF POLICE GRAF I

Startling Stories Laid Be-
fore New York District
AttOrney-Many Con-
fessiOns Made

New York March 1.-THE grand jury
and District Attorney Whitman spent
today listening to the confessions of
men and women that they paid money
to policemen in return for immunity
from interference while they violated
the law.
A hotel owner and several women
who ran disorderly resorts told how
they contributed to the Golfers of the
System" Much of their testimony
corroborated stories already told, in
volving police officers and politicians.
Tne rest OF 1t brought under suspicion
men not hitherto suspected aud must
in turn be corroborated in Mr.. Whit
mans efforts to bring the guilty un-
der Indictment.
One visible result of confessions
made yesterday and today was the de-
motion of another police inspector, one
of dozen or more high police officials
whom witnesses have accused of talk
ing graft. Commissioner Waldo, after
reducing Inspector John ]. Murtha to
rank of captain, transferred him and
stSptAiuto min MitnOut pay. M ma
formerly was in charge of the pre-
cincts in Harlem, the district that fig
ured most prominently in the graft
disclosures made thus far.
One of the most remarkable wit
nesses examined by Mr.. Whitman was
Mary Stacom, who confessed today al
the age of "A years. that so years OF
her life have been spent as keeper OF
disorderly resorts. Known throughout
this woman pieced together the expert
ences of her life with facts that are
expected to serve Mr.. Whitman inval-
uably.
Another startling story has reached
the prosecutor in the form of writ
ten report by one of his investigators
1t told how a woman, Annie Grey, was
reputed to have accumulated for
tune of more than 100000 as a dis
orderly resort keeper. Backed by a
former sheriff and one-t time police
commissioner, according to information
available to the prosecutor, Annie Grey
conducted several of the most noted
resorts of their type in this city. She
will go before the grand jury with an
account of her underworld experiences
according to Mr.. Whitman's expecta-
tions.
Samuel Levy. hotel man, went be-
fore the grand jury today to repeat q
graft story he related to Mr.. Whit.

SIS monthly for the privilege of sell
ing liquor without a license. Once he
refused to pay, he declared, and there

No sooner does one thorny problem seem
in the way Of solution than another crops

Tonight the long expected agreement
for Austro- Russian rehabilitation is pub

ditions and arrangements have been COM
pleted for the settlement of the dispute
between Bulgaria and Roumana, by a
conference of ambassadors at st. Peters
burg, presided over by Sergius Sazonoff,
the Russian foreign minister.
Thus the way seems prepared for the
restoration of peace in the Balkans. But
at the same moment new difficulty
has been raised by Austria which objects
to Servia going to the assistance of Mon
tenegro. and Is endeavoring to enlist the
powers to her aide to coerce Servia. Fur
ther, Austria declines to demobilze as
far as the Servian frontier is concerned
1t appears therefore, that the fate OF
Scutari still is menace to the peace OF
Europe. Austria is determined to make
Scutari the capital of autonomous AL
bania. Montenegro is equally determined
on the possession of Scutari and in the
present temper of the allies, it seems
hardly likely that Servia will desist in

1t is understood Russia will disband 23o-

hardly be described as demobilization

To Act Collectively

Vienna, March 11.-Austria, it is under
stood, has taken steps at London to in
duce the powers to act collectively in
demanding from the Servian government
an explanation regarding the dispatch OF
additional, troops by Servia to Durazzo.
A growing irritation is displayed in
official circles of the military party here
over Servia's action which is believed
to be encouraged by the apparent help
lessness and dilatory procedure of the am
bassad0rial conference at London. As
1t is well known that Servia has no real
desire to see Montenegro become more
powerful, her action is assisting in the
attack on Scutar excites suspicion at
Vienna where the opinion is held that 1T
