WASHER? HE? MOI
CHORUS 30 GIRLS
Beauties Flock to Court and
Clear seth st. Byron of
policeman's Charge.

Lord Byron and all the other IA
nous heart breakers of history would
have hanged themselves for jealousy
could they have been in the mems
court last night and seen what hap
pened to Morris Dunn, Of l61 west
seth st.
While twenty-seven girls from his
ncighborhood looked on, three others,
whose shy manners had gotten Morris
arrested as a masher, stood up and as
sured Magistrate Nolan that "Dunnie
was nothing of the sort, but that they
had known him ever so long
Morris is blue eyed. fair haired and,
even TO the unprej JUDGED, a good look
inc chan. But his magnetism is out
az all proportion TO his appearance,
and feminine West Goth st. has long
been at his feet. Thus it was nat
ural that, standing at the corner OF
Amsterdam av. and seth ST. with two
chums last night, Morris should recog-
nize and salute three girls who passed.
Patrolman O'Connor saw the per-
Torrance and decided that Dunn must
be a masher. He marched up and ar
rested the young man, taking MIN
along to the station house. The three
girls decided it was good Joke and
ran, leaving Morris TO his fate.
But two hours later in court-what
n difference! The three girls had spent
the time spreading the news Of Dunn's
arrest, and when he was arralgned the
tlial room looked like a seminary.
Thirty beauties occupied seats in the
front row and giggled and whispered
when the prisoner appeared. Then
the three whom Dunn had spoken to
cot nm and said he was innocent.
Dunn left court entirely surrounded
by his sdorers.

FIND HEAVY LOANS
BY LORIMER BANK
Federal Inquiry Shows Big Sums
Lent to Men Interested
in the Concern.

Chicago, June 25.-Inyestigation by;
the United States Attorneys Office into
the books of the La Sale Street Ma
tional Bank thus far has revealed loans
of large sums to persons interested IN
the bank.
Sums were lent on alleged insufficient
security TO the Lorimer-G Gallagher Con-
struction Company, the Litchfield Mill
and Elevator Company and the South
ern Traction Company, all Illinois en-
terprises controlled by Lorimer or
Munday
The federal inquiry is being con-
Quoted along the lines of the John r.
Walsh case. Walsh was convicted Of
lending immense sums from his bank
10 one of his railroad enterprises.
The authorities are investigating an
item on the books showing a loan Of
$4,000 to Thomas H. Psynter, ex-
United States Senator and member
of the first Senatorial committee which
Investigated the validity of Lorimer's
election to the Senate. Paynter voted
that Lorimer was entitled TO his seat.
The books thus far examined show that
$4,000 of the Paynter loan was repaid,
and experts are searching for further
records.
State and county authorities are in
vestigating allegations that Inside"
depositors were warned TO withdraw
their deposits before the failure Of the
State Bank, and that certain friends
of Lorimer and Mundsy were favored
with important loans on their personal
notes and o US.
A special grand jury will be called
to investigate the affairs OF the La
Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank,
according to announcement by Mac
L." uoyne, States Attorney, after a
lo.- difference with Mrs. Marie Kuhns
to-day. Mrs. Kuhns has a suit pending
charging Brady with breach OF
promise.
"Mrs. Kuhns has MADE serious
charges concerning the methods and
actions of several employees of the
bank, as we'll as certain public off,
Gals" Mr.. Hoyne said.

WILL CONFER WITH
HUERTA DELEGATES
Carranza Agents Awaiting the
Arrival of Calderon
at Washington.
IFrom - Trlbune pureau. |

Washington, June 25.--lt was stated
positively in a Constitutionalist quar-
ter tonight that, shortly following the
arrival of Iglesias Calderon, the agent
of Carranza, who is supposed to have
departed to-day from New Orleans for
Washington, there would be an infor-
nal conference between representa-
tives of CarranZa and the Huerta dele
gates now at Niagara Falls.
The prime purpose Of this confer
ence will be to ascertain if there is in
Mexico a man upon whom the Consti-
tutionalists and their opponents can
agree to take the place of provisional
President following the retirement Of
Huerta. The administration here is
using it's good Offices to promote the
conference.
The straightforward statement that
the conference will be held is of par,
ticular interest on account of state
ments made in high quarters to-day
that there seemed little chance Of there
being meeting, owing to the fact that
Carranza fears that, if he negotiates,
even Informally, with Huerta's men,
Villa will drum him out of camp.
The State Department was informed
to-day of the fall Of Zacatecas.

BREACH A CARRANzA TRICK
Dispute with Villa Arranged
for Blocking Armistice.
IBy Cable to The rrIbunc.i

Vera Cruz, June 25.--The former
Maderista Congressman. Heriberto lara,
who is now colonel in the Constitu-
tionalist army and is favorite Of Car
rama and assistant TO General Candida
Aguilar. commanding the eastern divi-
sion, with headquarters at Tuxpam, has
arrived here. He says he is fully con-
'ident that the revolution will be a
complete triumph by the national holt
day. or Independence Day, which is
September &c, at the latest.
lara declares that the Constitutional
lists now have all the ammunition and
money that are necessary, and, what is
most important, the men also to back
both up.
He refuses to discuss the breach be-
tween Villa and Carranza, but from
other prominent revolutionary officers
here it is learned that il is a diplomatic
move on Carranza's part to have Villa
and Angeles get the fighting toward the
centre of the country as IL on their
own hook and thus allow Carranza to
answer the demands for an armistce
that owing to the trouble he is having
with his generals he is unable to stop
their fighting.

Temporary Detection OF Labor

London, June 26.-John Redmond
marshalled his men in the House OF
Commons last night and saved the gov
eminent from defeat on the budget
when Mr.. Lloyd George was deserted
by the Labor party, A division was
taken on a Unionist amendment ask

This drop in the governments ma,

figures of ninety six, was announced
amid loud ironical cheers from the
Unionists, the younger members of the
party being particularly demonstratiyC
with cries of Lloyd Georgian f.

STOLE PLATINUM
TO LEAD GAY LIFE
Former Superintendent of
Laboratory Confesses
Thefts.
ACTS AS STOOL" IN
DICTAGRAPH SCHEME
Two Others Arrested and One
Held on Charge of Selling
Costly Wire.

Thefts of platinum wire from the
Commercial Research Company, whlch
has plant at Tuckahoe, amounting TO
at least $4,000 and possibly more,
have resulted in the arrests of three
men, one of whom was formerly the
superintendent of the company's lab
oratory. The other two live in New
York.
The men are Clayton Frey, of At
pine; Eugene Rokeach, Of 105 East
18th st., and John Edelstein, Of lsl
West 9th st. Rokeaeh has been re-
leased under subpoena to appear before
the Grand Jury in this county to-day,
when Assistant District Attorney Min
ton will present evidence purporting
to show that Edelstein disposed of the
stolen platinum here.
In case the Westchester County
Grand Jury, which holds its last ses-
sion of this term to-day, fails to IN
dict Frey, an effort probably will be
made to have him indicted here for
disposng of stolen property.
A dictagraph was used ir the West
chester County jail to get sufficient
evidence against Edelstein to warrant
taking his case before the Grand Jury.
Even after Frey had made a confession
duplicating him, Edelstein steadfastly
refused to admit any completely in the
affair. Frey consented to act as a
"stool" and was placed in the same cell
with Edelstein, where dictagraph had
been installed. The conversation be-
tween the two men, in which it is said
that Edelstein acknowledged receiving
the platinum, was taken down by a
stenographer and will be used as evil
dence against him.
Frey and Edelstein were arrested IN
the Bronxville station of the Harlem
Railroad, when they met to arrange
for more sales of the contraband metal.
Frey had 5000 worth of platinum wire,
which he gave to Edelstein, receiving
Sl10 in return.
According to Frey, he received from
1913 to $50 an ounce for the platinum,
depending on the market value. He
made frequent trips to Manhattan,
where he spent the money in Tender.
loin cafes. Later he bought a farm
near Alpine, and sent his wife and
child to live there, while he continued
his spectacular career on Broadway.
II is said at the District Attorneys
Office that an effort will be made to find
the people who bought the platinum
from Edelstein.
Rokeach was arrested as suspect,
but the evidence against him was not
of such a nature as to permit his being
held.

Republican party are startling TO all

Even the Republican convention OF

same body are duly chosen candi-
dates for reelection on the Repub-
lican ticket win the people Of
Sussex and New Castle reward in
competence and suffer an increased
tax rate by continuing Republican
control OF county affairs.
We note with adherence the re-
cent riots in the city of Whining
ton and we lay all the blame there
fore upon the shoulders of the Re
publican ofiiceholders who solely
are responsible. The prompt action
OF the Democratic Lieutenant Gov
ernor alone restored order and conf
dence.
In the recent Republican conven-
tion one of the leading Republicans
OF the State denominated the negro
vote as "The bulwark of the Re
publican party" To this announce
ment we invite the attention OF all
sobcrminded citizens of this State
who. by voting the Republican
ticket express their desire to con-
tinue the political domination Of
Delaware in the hands Of the
negroes.
We promise to redeem the good
name of Delaware by placing IN
political Office men whose reputa
tiou, high purpose and ability can
not be subject to question; and
generally to administer the affairs
in all departments of our state and
county government with honesty
efficiency and economy.
