HONEST COP" GOT COIN, HE SAYS
Former Detective Tells whitman He
Acted as Go-Between.

New York, Nov. 19.-Al Cohen. formerly
a city detective, and later head of a pri-
vate agency, confessed to District Attor-
ney Whitman today that he had acted as
go-between for the Carter-McRae gang
Of wire tappers and the police in the
swindling of Simon NJ. Jones. a Pitts
burgh cool operator, of $4,000 in a fake
poolroom in October, 1872.
According to Cohen. as the story ema-
mates from the District Attorneys office
former Police Capt. Dominick G. Riley,
the honest cop" then a lieutenant al
headquarters, is the man who received
the money passed over to the police for
protection against arrest Cohen kept
81 200 and turned 5000 over to Riley. He
in turn, according to Cohen, passed it on
to "the man higher up" a high official
at headquarters, who is the target of
the Whitman investigation.
The status of the investigation at its
present stage makes it certain that either
Riley or "the man higher up" will be
indicted.
The confession of Curly Carter,
Frank Tarbeaux, George McRae, Tom
Brown. and ''Sir John" Gray. members
of the same gang. corroborate Cohen's
story in all but one detail-the amount
Of money paid Cohen to be handed to
Riley.

that Huerta will be obliged to/yield IL
this government only exercises suficient
patience.
Interest In the Hale negotiations with
Carranza, of which so much was ex-
pected, has about ended. especially with
the announcement yesterday that Car
rama was leaving Nogales yesterday aft
ernoon for Hermosilla, capital of the
State Of Sonora. Every bit OF informa-
tion obtainable here points to the con-
clusion that the discussions between Hale
and the Constitutionalist leader were a
failure. The demand of Carranza for
Hale's credentials was regarded as the
breaking down of the last hope that
something might be achieved through the
northern revolutionists.
Senator Bacon has called a meeting of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
for today. The usual weekly meeting of
the committee ia held Wednesday, and
Senator Bacon's call aroused considerable
speculation Assurances were given,
however, that no definite program was to
be presented to the committee and that
the meeting was to be held Thursday be-
cause the regular session of the commit
tee yesterday had been missed.
1t Is certain, though, that the question
of the lifting of the embargo on arms will
be considered in the light OF the recent
developments in Mexico. A majority of
the Senate committee for a long time
have been impatient to give the rebels
access to American arms and ammuni-
ton, but the likelihood is that they will
continue to yield to President Wilson's
wishes
The present waiting policy of the ad-
ministration has led to considerable diffi-
Guilty on the part OF those who have
tried to reconcile II with the reports that
have emanated from Mexico City in re-
gard to the serving of ultimate by this
government The fact is that the United
States, while insisting that Huerta must
go. has carefully refrained from ever
having served notice of an intention to
use force against the Mexican dictator IL
he did not accept the Washington sug-
gesIion.
In all of these negotiations, however,
II was well understood that the demands
of the United States would be effective
only in SO far as this government was
prepared to support them by extreme
measures. and now that Huerta has re-
jected all OF them, the Washington ad-
ministration's position is somewhat em-
barrassIng Administration officials feel,
however that the United States can af-
ford to be patient in this matter and
wait for developments in Mexico, which
they are convinced must come within a
short time, and which they are certain
will result in the elimination of the die
tator.

who ravage under the guise of Con-

reported that Carranza's army is re-
cruited very largely fromthe most law
less element of Mexico.
II such elements should place Carranza
in the Presidency Of Mexico, they hardly
could be expected to demand as their re-
ward, peace. law. order, and equal rights.

All these things President Wilson will
learn from DR.. Hale's report, II that in
strument is as full and frank as the
President has a right to expect. There
fore. even had Carranza consented to
make the pledges desired BY President
Wilson, 1t would be hard for the latter
to place great deal of confidence in
them in the face of facts that should, In
fairness to him. be called to his attention.
That some other instrument for the
accomplishment of big reforms, and to
which the President can lend his sup
port. will spring up from the better ele-
ments OF all factions in Mexico is not
in evidence. Huerta's downfall may
bring it out. when that downfall occurs.

yelopments threaten to force the admins

currency bill has received some consid-
Grafton in the Senate.
Both bills framed by the members of
the Currency Committee of the Senate
are in the hands OF the Public Printer in
order that they may be ready to lay be-
fore the full membership today.
The final point of difference between the
two wings of the committee came on the
question of refunding the per cent gov
eminent bonds that are the basis of ma
tional bank circulation.
The Democratic members who are shap-
ing the so-called administration bill. I"
probably will decide to authorize re-
funding of the per cent bonds with q
Q per cent bond TO run twenty years,
with the Limitation that not to exceed
s36, 600 900 worth shall be retired in any
one year. This plan will be, as the bank
notes are returned to the Treasury from
time to time, that they shall be Cancelled
and the bonds now held in the Treasury
Department as security for such circula-
ton be taken over by the Treasury De-
partment, and per cent bonds issued for
them at par and turned over to the
regional banks.
Sell to Secure Gold.
It is expected that the regional banks
may sell these bonds when necessary to
secure gold to maintain their reserves.
Members of the committee frankly con-
ceded that il was not improbable that
the banks would have to sell these bonds
below par. But even at that, 1t Is be-
lieved, that they will not suffer any loss
by the transaction and the government
will be relieved Of offending against the
statutes as well as economic laws by
offering its own bonds below par.

adopted was a suggestion made to them
by Paul warburg. of Kuhn, Lieb & Co.
