Gov, Ferris, am not surprised to hear
that he is well satisfied with the finding
of the grand jury. ] base this statement
on the ground that after visiting the
strike district and seeing conditions as
they really were, the governor asserted
that he believed the grand jury would
do its full duty and that the strike un-
doubtedly be settled if the alleged agita-
tors from the outside would depart from
the district
..It seems to me that the result of the
grand jury's investigation and the state

governor.

KENYON BILL TO PASS
''Red Light" Measure to Become Ef-
fectiye Immediately
if Signed

The House probably will pass the Ken
yon "red light" bill tomorrow, and il
the President signs the measure which
has already been passed by the Senate,
the act will become effective Immediately.
This is the radical measure designed to
clear out the disorderly houses Of the
city. If it acts as quickly as its pro-
ponents claim. by the end of this week
there will not be one habitue Of the city s
purlieus in the houses at which the meas
ure is aimed.
1t was learned last night that some
member of the House District committee,
probably Chairman johnson, will call up
the bill tomorrow, at the close Of the
ordinary short routine business. No
doubt as to its passage In a hurry exists
In the House.
The Kenyon bill, framed after an Iowa
law, provides that any building or house
used for immoral purposes may be closed
by an Injunction, which may be obtained
by any Individual The injunction is
aimed at both landlord and tenant. and
the provisions and penalties are so
drastic that In cities where similar laws
have prevailed the disorderly sections
have closed up voluntarily.
What the effect on Washington will be
is problematical and that feature will
be discussed in the House tomorrow, as
it was in the open committee hearing on
the sub ject a few days ago.

ON GRAFT-CASH TRAIL
Whitman Demands of Banks In
formation of Murphy and
Gaffney Deposits.

NEW YORK, January A.-Of1cers Of
savings banks, trust companies and other
financial institutions throughout the state
have been subpoenaed by District Attor-
ney Charles S. Whitman to furnish him
the documents necessary to show the ac-
counts of Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall. and James E. Gafney,
Murphy's political business associate.
This was learned today at Mr. Whitman s
office. The wholesale requisition plan.
aimed at the alleged graft system in
volving state highway and barge canal
contracts, includes the examination .of
the accounts of Murphy and Gaffney for
five years back.
This phase of the inquiry was under
taken as result of testimony adduced
recently at the John Doe inquiry and be-
fore the grand jury The work was be-
gun last night and, according to infor-
nation from Mr.. Whitman's office, the
prosecutor and his assistants have within
LESS than twenty-four hours obtained
from bank officers knowledge of Murphy
and Gaffney deposits said to be of great
Importance.
Mr. Whitman has learned, for one
thing, it is said, that Gaffney has made
frequent deposits of from 5000 to $4,000
and that his average deposits have
amounted to S1O0O0O a year On the
other hand, Murphy's accounts. it was
stated, showed that frequent Withdrawals
have been made during two years past,
particularly from local banks.
Mr.. Whitman tried without success to
have four banks In New Jersey and two
| in Pennsylvania furnish accounts of Mur-
phy and Gaffney deposits reported to be
kept there, but the information was re-
fused and the prosecutor is without pow
er to insist upon having it.
His search for deposit accounts in this
state is being made under ruling Of

PREVENTS SUICIDE
Woman Is Hauled Out of River by
Ex-Cowboy Policeman in
Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January "a
Proficiency in the art of throwing a
lariat, gained from experience on a cattle
ranch in Colorado, earned for George
Shields, eX-cowboy, now a patrolman of
the Delaney street station, a possible
medal and saved womans life today
at Spruce street wharf, when Shields
threw a moose with accuracy over the
shoulders Of a woman who was struggling
desperately in the water and hauled her
safely to the dock
Shortly after IL o'clock this morning
Shields, who was on duty at the Spruce
street wharf, became suspicious at the
agitation of a. woman whom he at first
supposed was seeking relatives at the
dock. When she brushed past him and
made her way toward the stringpiece of
the pier the patrolman's suspicious were
confirmed. He noticed. too. that she car
ried in her right hand a handbag, while
with her left hand she tightly pressed
a book, which afterward proved to be a
Bible. to her bosom.

piles of merchandise about the pier was

an turned to the side of the pier and
jumped into the water. some fifteen feet

cries brought Patrolmen Boyd and Muir

other peoples money. to deduct the tax

It over to the governments proper rep

partmenr OFFICIALS will not at this time
discuss. There is evidence, however, that
the questions raised will prove important
issues. That the courts will be required

law is a foregone conclusion.
An expense. ranging from few dol
lars to as much as $4,000 a year-in
the cases of some of the larger banks
Of New York city and elsewhere-has
been saddled upon institutions and
agents required by law to set aside the
tax at the sourse. Clerks have to be
hired; books, especially prepared for the
purpose, have to be provided, and there
are incidental expenses. These are
among the expenses that big corpora
tions are obiecting to.
