several days in advance, and was so
successfully engineered that the super
intendent did not know for hours that
he had lost the woman OF mystery
around whom revolves strange tale
of marriage, divorce. romance, hypnotic
influence and alleged fraud.
The abduction of Mrs. Hayes was
planned by several Boston men who
feared that the investigation into her
spectacular career as 1.-The widow Tut
tie" would make public their relations
with her, it is believed, as she was not
allowed to have any money in her pos
session.
She was committed quietly in March
to the hospital by her husband, DR..
John j. Hayes. Shortly after she was
committed conservators who were APP

wealthy Wellesley woman, who was
estranged from her husband, Arthur
NJ Atkins who is in the automobile
business, and her son Paul, student

broomhandle, Mrs. Susan Quickly

British subjects. The men were on the
point of leaving the logging camp, when
their way was blocked by Estrada Ca

President Makes Public Letters
Urging the Need of Giving
Business a Rest.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, June 10. - Acting
promptly on his decision to force trust
legislation through Congress, the Presi-
dent tonight summoned TO the White
House for a conference members Of the
Democratic steering committee to dis
cpss the situation and map out leg
islative programme, with view to
reaching adjournment as speedily as
possible.
The Senators who attended the con-
ference were Messrs. Chamberlain,
Clark. Of Arkansas; Smith, Of Georgia;
Thomas. Martin, owen, Kern, Culber-
son. NewIands and O'Gorman. The
Developments Of the day indicated the
purpose Of the Democratic leaders, pur-
suant to the directions Of the President,
10 adopt course similar TO that which
was followed in the enactment Of cur
rency legislation.
Incensed at what he regards as an
organized propaganda to thwart the
passage Of the administrations anti
trust bills. the President reiterated that
Congress would remain in session until
his antitrust programme was carried
o't. If he had his way-and he appar-
ontIy believes that he will dominate
The situation.
President Wilson guarded his language
with care. but he left an impression
that he meant that the opposition would
face a stubborn fight by the adminis;ra-
ton and its supporters in Congress.
Despite the unrest in Congress and the
signs Of impatience over the prospects OF
a summer session, the President firmly
believes that now is the time TO remedy
conditions which he regards as the result
OF inadequate laws. He takes the atti-
tude that the antitrust legislation must
ne enacted sooner or later, and that there
is nothing TO be gained by delay which
might keep business in state OF uncer-
tainty.
In both branches Of Congress there is
resentment over the Presidents uncom-
promising attitude. and even Democrats
are complaining. although most Of them
protest in whispers. Senator Brandegee
read to the Senate to-day the editorial
published in The Tribune as setting forth
the situation most concisely and effective

SIX JURORS CHOSEN
TO TRY CLIFFORD BOY
Questions by Defence Indicate
Evidence of Chauffeur's Muir
der Is Circumstantial.
- relerraph 10 The TrIbune. ]

Albany. June 25.-At the opening oil
the trial of Malcolm Clifford, jr, seven
teep-vear-old son of wealthy Hudson
on the charge Of muir
dering Frank ]. Clute, an Albany chaul-
four. more than a year ago, before
County Judge Arlington to-day the
Young prisoner sat between mis- mother
and father. A brother, Benedict Gill;
ford also attended. The stern, set
faces of the father and brother showed
that they did not share Malice ms ap-
narent indifference to the seriousness
Of his situation.
Mrs. Gifford's anxiety was also PLAIN
~ indicated by the wisttul manner u,
which she looked at her son. Now ana
then a tear would steal down her cheeks.
She kissed him on arriving and on
leaving the court. Besides Mrs. Gl1ord
the only woman IN the courtroom was
Miss Mary B. Gleason. of Troy, with
whom the Clifford family are staying
during the trial. On account OF the
large number of talesmen, only law
vers. attaches of the court and news
paper men were allowed in the court
room.
Six Jurors were selected to-day out
of fifty-four talesmen examined. All
Of thorn are married men with chill
dren. it being the particular effort of
William Trayers Jerome, leading coun-
sci for the defence. to have such men
decide the fate of his client. That the
prosecution will depend largely on cir
cumstantial evidence was shown by the
nature of the questions asked each one
of them by Daniel II. Pryor, Assistant
District Attorney.
"If there were no eyewitnesses TO this
crime. would you be convinced by cir
cumstsntial eyidence?" he asked them
all.
The body of Clute was found early
one morning in the spring Of 1918 by a
milkman on a lonely road few miles
north of Albany. His abandoned auto
mobile was nearby. SO far as is known
District Attorney Alexander has been
unable to find anybody who was near
the scene Of the killing at the time the
shots were fired.
The six jurymen selected are: Jacob
Makeley, farmer, of Cooksburg; Albert
Gallop. laborer, of East Berne; New
ton j. Hallenbeck, farmer. of Guilder-
land; Charles Schade, plumber, OF. Al
bany; Melvin +. Moak, farmer, of Voor-
heesville, and Edward Stiles, hardware
merchant, of Cohoes. The attorneys
for both sides expect that the jury will
be completed by tomorrow night and
that the taking of testimony will be
ended by Friday of next week.

FRAUD CHARGED TO
$5,OOO,OOO CONCERN
Stakeholder of New Fruit Conn.,
pany Says Officers Have Poor
Land to Sell High.

The National Fruit Company, incor-
porated in Delaware, April 10, with
capital Of S5,000,0O0, to develop fruit
lands in Guatemala and Nicaragua and
ship the product to this country, is al
ready involved in legal snarl, as are
also its officers. James J. O'Brien, a
stakeholder, filed an action in the Su-
preme Court yesterday, in which he
made allegations of fraud and asked
for an accounting and the resembling
Of an agreement under which the COM
pany proposes to pay $500,000 for GER
tain lands, which, 0'Brien said, is con-
trolled by the officers Of the company
and is not worth the price agreed upon.
The petitioner also asked an injunction
to restrain the officers from carrying
out this agreement.
The officers of the new fruit company
are Joseph T. Tanning. Louis Van
Horne, Chandler A. Cakes, j. Otto
Stack and Louis Rotterer. According
70 O'Brien, these men did not own the
land in Central America which the
company agreed to buy for 100000,
but merely had an option on some land
Of much less value.
The plaintiff also said that the com
pany has circulated a prospectus that
contains false statements of the value
of its property, made "for the purpose
Of raising money from an unsuspecting

TRUST BILL UP IN
RELUCTANT SENATE
unfair Competition" First OBJ
Stacle Encountered in Trade
Commission Debate.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, June 25.--With appar-
ent reluctance the Senate began to-day
the task Of discussing the first of the
administration measures for the regu-
lRtion Of business, the trade commits
sion bill. Less than a score of Sena
tors were on the floor when Senator
Newlands opened the discussion and,
with few exceptions, these watched the
proceedings with tagging interest.
Senator Newlands referred only
briefly to the condition Of business
which. he said, was uneasy because of
the uncertainty which existed with re-
spect to legislation. The sooner the
pending antitrust bills were passed,
he added, the better il would be for
business generally. He urged that de-
bate on the measure be cut TO a mini
mum. but Senator Cummins said that
the bills would be thoroughly dis
cussed.
Difficulty was encountered at the out
set over the phrase unfair competi-
ton" Democrats insisted that this
had legal status but others contended
that it would not be sustained by the
courts. The conviction prevails among
Republicans and many Democrats that
the trade commission bill before the
Senate is unconstitutional inasmuch as
it delegates to the proposed commits
sion powers that belong to other than
the administrative branches of the gov
eminent. Little or no progress was
made with the Clayton bin by the
judiciary Committee to-day. There is
prospect that the measure will be en-
tirely redrafted.
In the face of the discoursging pros
pect Democratic leaders stoutly main
tain their purpose to remain in session
until the antitrust bills we're passed.

FAMILY BANNER OF 10 AIDS
IN TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON
Flagmaker of Hudson Street Welcomes s. A. K.
Delegates at dwelling of Tablet on
Site of Historic Mansion.

Washington himself woald a
wanted this if he'd landed on a broil-
ing day like this" said Uncle Jimmy,
as he poured out mugful.
Broiling it was when the visiting Sons
arrived from Hoboken, and the new
copper tablet on the front Of 1893, wait
ing to be unveiled by Miss Angelica
Schuyler Church, was hot under its
veil. But the Sons drove up joyously,
escorted by two policemen on motor
cycles.
The proceedings began with music
by the band Of Public School 165. Then
the Rev. DR.. Frank o. Hall, chaplain
for the Empire State Sons, delivered
an invocation. There were brief
speeches by William A. Marble, OF New
York; Louis Amin Ames, Newell b.
Woodwork, of Syracuse, and others.
Then Miss Church, whose great
great-great-grandfa Philip Schuy-
Ter, was a member of Washington s
staff, and who is herself sculptor
pulled the string that unveiled the
statue. As Borough President Marks
was unable to attend and accept the
tablet on behalf of the city, his secre-
tary, Ralph Folks, took his place.
The tablet, the gift Of the Empire
State Sons of the Revolution to the
city, is an oblong one Of copper, and
records the historical associations OF
the site.
To-day the Sons will take an auto
mobile trip around New York. stopping
at City Hall to be received by Mayor
Mitchell and at the Sub-Treasury fol-
exercises at George Washington
statue. Last evening they had re.
ception at the Hotel Martinique.
