EXCHANGE.
HAS MET REFORMS
Horace White Tells Commission
That Manipulation" Is Thing
of the Past.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-Horace
White, chairman of the Hughes Stock
Exchange Commission of 1909, testi-
fed before the Senate banking COM
mittee today at a hearing on the
Owen bill to regulate stock ex-
changes, that the New York Stock
Exchange had met the reforms sug-
gested by the commission in proper
manner.
He declared present laws were suf-
ficient to regulate conduct of ex-
changes, and that, in his opinion,
there had been great Improvement in
tier practises during the last few
years.
Senator Weeks objected to Samuel
Untermyer CROSS examining Mr.
White, reserving that for members
of the committee Chairman Owen
asked Mr.. Untermyer to sit at the
committees table. IT want to con-
suit you from time to time" ex-
planned the senator.
Mr.. White declared that there had
not been corner on the New York
Stock Exchange for thirteen years,
and predicted none would be seen In
the next thirteen.
The Stock Exchange, he said, had
adopted all but four OF the New
York Commissions recommendations.
Rules for settlement of price corners,
control of curb trading, penalties for
false statements of financial condi-
ton and preservation Of clearing
house sheets for six years were those
rejected, he said.
MIR. White declared speculation was
the only way to establish prices Two
charges of recent years of "manipu-
lation by an inside ring were Ill
founded, he said.
One instance was the Hooking VAL
ley pool, he said, in which brokers in
vested their own money, believing
they had bonanza, and lost all. The
second was a Rock Island boom. That,
he said. had its inception in zone of
the richest men in New York" loudly,
and in public. giving an order for his
broker to buy 10000 shares. The price
went up, Mr.. White said, and later
fell fifty points. The buyer bore the
loss and still has the Rock Island
stock.
Mr.. White had given the rich mans
name, and delared he gave his order
while drunk, but after he and John G.
Milburn, counsel for the New York
exchange, held a whispered consulta-
ton, Mr.. White withdrew the mans
name and the statement that he was
drunk from the record, although he
believed what he had said was true.
Mr.. White was not testifying under
oath.

Chief COMMENDS
WORK OF POLICE
Head Of E. Orange Department
Makes Many Recommends
lions in Annual Report.

Chief of Police William H. O'Neill,
Of East Orange, submitted his annual
report today to Mayor Julian A.
Gregory. He. reviews the progress
made to increase the efficiency Of
the department and makes a number
OF recommendations that will prob
ably be carried out Immediately.
Among the suggestions are the
placing OF metal signs at congested
points to serve as warning to
drivers of vehicles when approaching
street corners; the purchase of a
padded cell and the establishment
of a partial Bertillon system to fur
Their the making of identifications
quickly.
He agrees with. Recorder Francis
A. Mott, jr, in that suitable room
for witnesses In police court cases is
an absolute necessity. If the room
is obtained, the chief explains. It can
be utilized as detention headquarters
for girls of tender age placed under
police care and for women, whom 1t
is not thought best to lodge in cells.
He emphasizes the need of a padded
cell, and refers to Instances where
prisoners injured themselves seriously
during the wear while in a delirious
state. He says in one instance 1t was
necessary to manacle prisoner to
the bars of his cell to restrain him
from injuring himself.
The metal signs, he says, would
serve to minimize the danger from
accidents. He names the streets
where the signals apparently are the
most needed. The cost of establish
ing the Bertillon system, he thinks,
would not be more than 500. He
says a man could be detailed to at
tend to the system along with his
other duties.
From every viewpoint" says the
report. the department has been
most successful in it's efforts TO bet
ter conditions He cites the capture
of number of burglars during the
year, and has much praise for the
alertness of the men who made the
arrests. He commended Roundsman
David Burns and Policeman Gustave
Vetter. who caught, red-handed. John
Delehanty and Charles Harris, bur-
glars, now serving long terms in
prison.
He praised also the men detailed
for traffic work, stating they have
performed their duty well. The work
of the department members on the
pistol ranges was commented upon
ana also the drilling instructions they
are receiving. He attributed the
knowledge of Roundsman John Mac
Donald in military tactics to the sue
cess of the work in this line. Mac
Dorald is instructor. Sergeant
Timothy Canniff. who is the expert
revolver shot of the department, is
complimented for his work in
teaching the men how to properly use
their pistols.

Hold Up Proposal for
Motor Fire Apparatus

Members of the finance committee
of the Orange Common Council were
obliged to postpone action last night
on the proposition of the Board of
Fire Commissioners to motorize the
fire department. The project will
come up for consideration again at
another joint meeting of the two
bodies on Friday night.
Failure on the part of the COM
missioners to bring in comprehensive
statements, showing by comparison
the saving which can be effected by
Installing tractors in various pieces
of apparatus, resulted In temporarily
holding up the procedure of the
finance men. The commission had
expected TO prepare the statements
at a meeting Monday night, which
circumstances combined to prevent.
and they were obliged to depend
upon what could be done at a short
session Immediately before the con-
ference.
For guidance in making UP the final
budget, the finance committee
will, with the commissioners, make
a tour of the Greenhouses tomorrow
afternoon, when the reed of repairs
and other matters will be gone into.

Prizes, said she went to visit her
daughter one day, and while looking
for her son-in-law, who, by the way,
is older than she is, found him in his
Office in the factory. He was making
love to another girl, she alleged.

Elizabeth Williams, witnesses on Mrs.
Pries's behalf, testified that Prizes
had tried TO force his attentions upon
them, but that they resented it. Mrs.
Parein said that she literally threw
Prizes out of her home.
Prizes denied all these charges. He
said he had always been true to his
wife; that he didn't maltreat her, as
she alleged. His daughter. Mrs. Sadie
Williams, testified that her STEP
mother. half her age, had hand in
the trouble. Mrs. williams said Mrs
Prizes referred to her husband as an
"old foor' and declared that she
never loved him nor never could. and
that she only married him for his
money Prizes will appeal to the Court
OF Errors and Appeals.
