FOUR ARE SENTENCED
FOR HIDING ASSETS
Two Silk Men Go to Prison, Two
Must Pay Fines-All Scored
by Judge.

NEWARK, April 27.-Louis and
Nathan Toback of Paterson were to-
day sentenced by Judge Haight In
the United States District Court here
to one year and three months each in
State Prison and to pay a fine Of ST.
600. At the same time Samuel
Moore and Jacob loren were sem
fenced to pay fines OF $500 each. thcy
TO stand committed until the fnes
are paid.
The four did business together as
the New York silk Company at Pat
erson. The concern went into bank
ruptcy, and the Tobacks were con-
victed of concealing assets. Moore
and Torem pleaded non vult and tes-
tilted against their associates. In
pa ssing sentence Justice Haight said
the men belonged TO q class that was
becoming altogether too common--a
class which preys upon Its creditors.
He said he was bent upon putting an
end to that sort Of crime.
Strong pleas were made for the sus-
pension of all sentence upon Moore
and Torem. District-Attorney Davis
Joined in tho request, but the Court
refused to do more than tighten the
punishment.

attitude toward the law. The black
eyed Noise maker and nag detractor
made . swift grab for her breakfast
this morning. and then had her law
yer. Justus Sheffield, got busy In an
effort to get her from behind the bars.
Mr.. shefiield appeared before Judge
MulQueen to-day and asked peynis-
sion to appeal from the decision Of
Magistrate Simms, which found his
client guilty of being a disorderly
person. Judge Mulqueen conferred
with the Magistrate and finally
granted the right Of appeal.
Sheffield and q member Of District-
Attorney whitman's stan will argue
the appeal some day this week. In
the meanwhile bail was fixed for
Becky in the sum of $500. Mr.. Shelf
field hustled away to find a bonds
man.
Becky's martyrdom fell nat yester-
day when the Deputy Commissioner
OF Correction sent her some cream
chocolates. In her cell Becky's heroic
soul was put to the test by the sweet
meats. At first she scorned the idea
OF touching one Of them. She wanted
to Pankhurst the jail officials and
she had vowed to eat nothing while
held a prisoner. But II was a gloomy
day and Beckys spirits were low.
She needed something to keep up her
courage. She tried to make speech
for one OF the keepers but that failed.
The chocolates lured her. She pick
ed UP one and shifted IL, then nibbled
1t and the martyrdom OF Becky was
in the discard. Her fast lasted just
forty hours.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
MATTER DISCUSSED

Washington, Oct. 20.-Problems of in

are worrying the Federal Reserve

BAR ASSN FOR THE
IMPROVEMENT OF
LAW FROM WITHIN

Washington, Oct. 20.-Improvement
of the law from within to stem the
tide of popular criticism prevalent in
recent years was the keynote of the

Bar Association. President Wilson, in
his address Of welcome, pleaded for
the humanizing of the law by the in
corporation of more justice into the
cases and less citations. Former Pres
ident Taft emphasized in an address
to the judges of the country, gathered
for the first time in the history Of the
country informal meeting, the necess-
ity for removing delays in litigation

ton to public opinion.

CHICAGO POLICE
SHAKE-UP DURING
INVESTIGATION

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Captain John j. Hal
pin, chief of the detective bureau, and
Lieut.. John II. Tobin, second in COM
mand. were removed from this branch of
police work today by Mayor Harrison
and sent to outlying police stations. The
transfer Mayor Harrison said. was tenn
porary and in order to facilitate investi-
CATION into charge of Illegal relations be-
tween members of the detective force and
certain criminals.
The transfer followed shortly after
Macklay Hoyne, states attorney. had
raided the office of the detective bureau
and took away two trunk loads Of secret
records.
Notes of prisoners who had not been
booked, but released on police order,
were expected to show collision between
thieves and certain detectives. Other
notes were exp ted to show that influ-
entail citizens who reported robbers were
given little encouragement by the depart
ment to press their claims. Capt. Will
liam p. OBrien from an outlying district
and Lieut.. Charles Larkin. who has been
detailed at the office of the states at
torney, will replace Halpin and Tobin.

Close Questioning

Members of the commission fire.
quently questioned witnesses closely.
The attack of Special Counsel Bran
deis, on the policy of the railroads of
maintaining their dividends without
respect to the financial straits in
which they now profess to find them
selves, received special attention from
Commissioner Meyer. Questioning both
Daniel A. Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio, Frederick w.
Straus of the New York banking
house of w. and ]. Seligman, MIR.
Meyer asked if the stockholders should
not be content to draw their profits,
part in the improvements of the prop
critics and part in cash. Both witnesses
insisted that reduction of dividends
would impair credit Of the lines.
Commissioner Meyer said he heard
of no proposal to start a buy a share
of railway stock" movement.
He asked Mr.. Straus if the state
ment of witnesses for the railways as
to the prospects for railway securities
were in mis- opinion calculated to make
such a movement popular.
Have you been accustomed " ask
ed Commissioner Meyer, Ito have the
head of q great concern come to your
office and offer you $50 600 900 of an
issue of securities, at the same time
stating he would not invest in them
himself? II your opinion, how would
that affect the credit Of his company"
Undoubtedly 1t would tend to shake
confidence the illness replied.
During the cross-examination of
Mr.. Willard, Commissioner McChord
commented on the amount the pro-
posed per cent. increase would real
ize estimated at $4,000, 900, and asked
If this would accomplish the correc-
ton of all the oppressive conditions
Of which the carriers complained.
THE idea is that this $4,000, 000,' the
commissioner said, will put the rail-
roads on their feet and improve bus
mess in the country. The country
seems to be arguing in favor Of this
increase"
IT have not spoken for the coun-
try" said Mr.. Willard.
The only other witness of the day
was Charles A. Conant of New York,
who appeared as an expert for the
carriers to describe conditions in the
money market arising from the Euro

SATURDAY AGAIN APPEARS WITH
COMPROMISE COTTON PROPOSAL

Washington, Oct 20.-With a COM
promise cotton relief proposal under
consideration in the House and a join
conference committee at work on this
war tax bill, the tangled legislativ 2
situation cleared slightly today, and
hope of an adjournment of Congress
by Saturday again put in an appear

which had been holding up the war
when the House rules committee re-
ported a special rule for the consid-
GRAFTON of Lever cotton warehouse bill
and the Glass bill authorizing the ac-

bill, which would authorize the secre-
tary of the treasurey to deposit IN
banks in the cotton and tobacco states

used in meeting the cotton crisis.
With the understanding that this
proposal was to be considered in the
House the cotton states representa-

ferees Immediately began a session
which ran well into the night and
which all of the undisputed sections
of the bill were promptly agreed up
on. The cotton relief plan met with
opposition as soon as it appeared in
the House When the rule was called
up a point Of no quorum by Rep. Bulk
ley of Ohio held up further business
for three hours while the sergeant

Another tie up came when an effort
was made to end the debate on the
rule, Rep. Glass insisting quorum

London, Oct. 20.-9.15 P. NJ
of the most desper-
ate character is in progress in
West Flanders and in western
France. The Belgian army, sup
ported by the Allies, is holding
on stubbornly to the line of the
River User, despite determined
German attacks, and has thus
far succeeded in bringing to a
halt the advance of the invad-
ers along the coast.
This is announced in the
French official communication
issued this afternoon and is ad.
mitted in the report of German
general headquarters, which
says that fighting has been 60
ing on since Sunday in the vicin-
ity of Newport.
