APACHE USED AS YACHT

WAsHtNoroN, July c2.--Anotner inter-
esting chapter was added to-day to the
controversy that has been aroused by
the alleged unlawful use OF revenue
cutters by william G. McAdoo. Secretary
u the Treasury on July II Representa-
tive Good Of Iowa. Republican. in q speech
IN the House accused Secretary McAdoo
~ 10y riding ON revenue cutters ia
violation of law that prohibits the EN-
ployment Of such vessels for personal
ure."
on July Is secretary McAdoo wrote
q letter that was read in the House In
which M McAdoo denied the truth Of
Mr Goods accusation and asserted In
:uhstanc, that h. mad made false state
ments Nj NcNdoo declared in effect that
ne travelled on revenue cutters as the
administrative head ~ the service for the
purpose Of familarising himself with the
operations and duties OF such vessels. He
denied with heat the charge that a revenue
cutter came TO Washington every week TO
load up" with Democratic oficeholdcrs
FOR 10y rides down the Potomac River"
Representative Good produced details
to-day that are lk,ly to embarrass Mr..
McAdoo Mr.. Goods speech caused a good
deal OF amusement among Republicans.
They declared that in this instance the
Iowa member had produced the goods
1.-THE facts are that the revenue cutter
Apache during this entire season said
Mr.. Good, has been leaving Baltimore
on Friday, reaching Washington on Satur-
day morning and leaving Washington
SATURDAY afternoon loaded with Demo-
cratic oiticeholders aud politicians selected
by the Secretary OF in" Treasury and his
assistants Tor a cruise down the Potomac,
The Apache returns to Washington on
Monday morning, discharges her precious
cargo and leaves for Baltimore, whore
she arrives on Tuesday
THE Secretary just,hes this practice by
saying that In all such instances officers
Of the Governmen; have been permitted TO
use the revenue cutters only when 1t did
not interfere with the proper cruising
arrangements of the vessels
Here We ar" told by Secretary
McAdoo that Officers OF the Government
are permitted TO use revenue cutters for
private purposes, the Law TO the contrary
Notwithstanding. when ii did not interfere
with the proper cruising arrangements
OF the vessels
with the power ~ making all cruising
arrangements vested In Secretary McAdoo
and his assistants. when, pray. VIII the
desire OF William g. McAdoO for an ocean
voyage in a revenue cutter AT Government
expense be prevented because of cruising
arrangements Of vessels made by Secrc-
tary McAdoo' such an Interpretation
renders this provision of the law not only
nusatory, but 1t is silly.

SEEKS TO INDlCT WITNESSES
Joseph w. Folk Seeks indictments Of
Several Persons Under Com
puIsory Testimony Act.

Washington, April 1S.-Joseph w.
Folk, chief counsel of the Interstate
commerce commission, on Thursday
asked United States District Attorney
Wilson for indictments under the COM
pulsory testimony act against Samuel
Hemingway, president of the Second
National bank, of New Haven. and
Samuel Morehouse, an attorney, for
their alleged refusal to testify con-
cerning the relations of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road with the Billiard company. This
is the first time that the compulsory
act has been invoked by the COM
mission against recalcitrant wit
nesses. The maximum penalty for
violation of the act is $4,000 fine and
one year in the penitentiary. Elk
animation of witnesses before the fed
eral grand jury was begun at once.
Unless Messrs. Whipple and Field
will produce the papers we want"
said Folk, their promise to testify to
avoid criminal prosecution is value
less, and l will at once ask for indict-
ments against them"

FEDERALs IN DEFEAT
HUERTA FORCES LOSE $500
TROOPS, is THE REPORT.
Rebel Commander Places Number Of
His Men Wounded at Over 5000.
-othero Put It Lower.

Juarez, Mexico, April 16.-A nine
days battle, reported to have been the
bloodiest of the Mexican war, has been
won by Gen. Francisco Villa and his
rebel army.
The rebels, numbering 10000 or
10000, came upon the federals at San
Pedro de Las Colonias, in Coahuila,
40 miles east of Torreon. The fed
erals, numbering $4,000 men, were
composed of the troops which re-
treated from Tampico under General
Valesco on April 2, the forces of Gen.
eral Mas, General Hidalgo, General
De Mours and two others.
Official reports say the federals
were routed completely. Another re-
port had it that the federals having
been defeated all along the line, re-
treated in the direction Of Monterey.
Losses in killed and wounded we're
heavy on both sides. An official dis
patch from General Villa to General
CarranZa says the rebels alone lost
5000 men in wounded. General Car
rama forwarded the report to Rafael
Zubaran, his secretary of the interior,
who remained here after Carranza and
other officials removed the provisional
capital to Chihuahua. Mr.. Zubaran Is
inclined to think that the reference to
5000 wounded" was an exaggeration
due to a telegraph mistake, and he
wired for confirmation.

ACCUSE WANAMAKERS
HEAD OF CONCERN HIT BY FED
ERAL GRAND JURY.
No indictments Returned Owing to
Failure to Place Personal Re-
sponsbiIity in Matter.

Philadelphia, April 17.-Investiga'
ton by a federal grand jury of al
legged customs frauds was completed
on Wednesday when the jury made a
report to the United States district
court recommending that the govern
men proceed to recover the duty
losses suffered because of alleged
Irregularities in the importation of
personal goods.
The report of the jury stated that
the investigation has concerned i'm
portations made by 'Wanamakers' dur
ing a period Of upward of thirteen
years, both in general merchandise
cases and in so-called sample cases" "
The jury finds that, with few eXcep-
tions. the importations made in gen.
eral merchandise cases have beer
regular.
AS to the importation made in
sample cases, the jury finds irregu-
larities both as concern importations
of merchandise for the use of the
business and as concern importations
of goods for the personal use of the
heads of the business"
The report further says: The jury
returns no indictments. This is so be-
cause personal knowledge of these ir-
regularities on the part of the heads
of the business does not appear with
sutfi ficient clearness to warrant the
finding of an indictment"

PLEA SAVES FRANK .
ATLANTA JUDGE, WHO PRESIDED
AT TRIAL, is CHARGED WITH
VIOLATING CONSTITUTION.
SEEK TO ANNUL SENTENCE
Georgian Convicted and Sentenced to
Be Hung for Murder of Mary Pha-
gan in Alleged SIayer's Factory,
May Have Supreme Court Hearing.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1S.-Possible ba
sis for appeal of the case of Leo M
Frank, under death sentence for the
murder of Mary Phagan, fourteen
year-old employe in his pencil fac
tory, to the Supreme court of the
United States, was laid in motion
for annulment of his sentence, filed
on Thursday in superior court here.
The motion charges that l.. S. Roam
the presiding judge at Franks trial
advised counsel for the defense that
In the event their client was found
guilty it would be unsafe for him to
be In court when the verdict was an
nounced. and that such action was in
violation of the federal Constitution
This action stays the prisoners exc.
cution.
The motion was filed by local law
firm hitherto not connected with the
case and attorneys who have been in
charge of Franks defense said the
action was taken without their knowl-
edge. They had completed prepare.
tions, they said, for filing within few
hours an extraordinary motion for a
new trial on ground of newly discov-
cred evidence.
The supreme court already has con-
firmed the young factory superinten-
dents conviction, but the point raised
nv the motion was nnt broupbt hofora
that tribunal. Neither was it included
in the copy of the extraordinary mo-
lion previously filed.
Franks presence in court when a
verdict in his case was announced on
August rs last was waived by counsel
Cor both prosecution and defense. The
motion just filed argues that these
waivers did not make the proceedings
legal.
No results of the investigation being
made by Detective William ]. Burns
are included in the motion. 1t is un-
derstood Burns report may be used
in amendments to be made later.
The body of the girl employe was
found in the basement of Franks plant
here on the morning of April q, 1918.
Conley, the negro factory sweeper, tes-
titled that Frank killed the girl in the
factory and that he aided in hiding the
body.
Frank was convicted on the first bal
lot of the jury.

tim Expected to Recover.


New York, April 20.-Mayor John
Purroy Mitchell narrowly escaped be

his lunch when the shot was fired.
Folks wound was examined at the
hospital and the doctors said there
was no danger Three teeth in the
lower jaw were shattered by the slug
OF lead. which lodged in the jaw. 1t
Is probable that the bullet will be re-
moved in short time.
Mayor Mitchell and Police Commits
sioner Woods helped carry Mr.. Polk
into the basement, where he was
made as comfortable as possible.
The bullet struck the jaw bone, and
was DETECTED upward.
The shooting caused tremendous ex-
citement as Park row, Broadway and
City Hall park are always thronged
with persons going to or from lunch
at the hour of the shooting.
So enormous was the crowd that
gathered in few minutes that po-
lice reserves had to be called out.
Il am not certain whether or not
the man shot at me-" said Mayor
Mitchell, Immediately after the shoot.
ing. At that time the assassin had
not been identified.
The assailant refused to talk when
taken before the police authorities.
He appeared to be about seventy
years Of age, and was poorly dressed

name David Rose"
Il am not David Rose" the old man
sullenly declared. Then after a great
deal of persuasion he said:
My name is Joseph Saloschein."
Did you intend to murder Mayor
Mitchell" asked the interrogating DO.
lice officer.
The old man shrugged his shoulders.
Later to friends who called to con.
graduate him upon his escape, Mayor
Mitchell said
i have come TO believe since the
shooting that the man really meant
to kill me-"
