HOYNE PLANS FOR GRAND JURY PROBE OF
CHARGES AGAINST MORALS SQUAD


1 rebeIled and ordered him out"
Mrs. Phipps and SybiI Martin de-
cided to tell all they knew about
Steel. They called up Major Grip
pen, one of the heads of the morals
squad, who is paid a handsome sal
airy by the people to promote eff
ficiency in the police department. "
To him they told their story. He lis
tened attentiVely and then did moth
ing.
The women say that from that time
on they were prosecuted by the NOR
ais squad. On one occasion the NOR
ais squad broke down the door of
Sybil Martins fat, treated her rough
ly and then dragged her to the sta
ton. However, they have as yet
failed to get Judge Goodnow to see
where she had violated any law.
Probably the darkest part of the
story is the charge of Mrs. Phipps
that the morals sleuths are trying to
railroad her to the madhouse.
According to her story, DR.. H. R.
Hoffman, who had attended her for a
few days about a year ago, was asked
to say she was insane.
DR.. Hoffman, who is house physi-
clan for Kate Adams Coulter house,
admitted last night that the woman's
charges are partially true. He says
there was a conference between Ma
jOr FunkhoUser and Kate Adams, at
which Mrs. Phipps' mental state was
considered. AS a last annoyance
Mrs. Phipps' telephone has, been re-
moved.
Joseph Geary, chief investigator
for States Atty Hoyne, is now inves-
tigating the charges against the NOR :
ais squad. Further action will be de-
layed until Hoyne, RECEIVERS from his
present illness.

CHARGES AGAINS'
A woman, who from evidence pre-
sented by her to the states attorneys
Office has apparently been given a
rough deal,' may be the nemesis
who will finally sound the doom of
the morals squad.
1t has leaked out that only the ill
ness of Prosecutor Hoyne has held
back a grand jury investigation of
the activities of certain members of
the vice squad.
Several days ago Mrs. Violet
Phipps, 3741 Indiana avenue, walked
into States Attorney Hoyne's Office
with the charge that she had paid
money to J. E. Steel, one of Major
FUfnkhOuser's ''sleUths," to prevent
the arrest of herself and two other
women.
Her story is one of a long list of
similar complaints which have been
made by unfortunate women of the
underworld, who say that certain
members of the morals squad have
''bled'' and "bUllied" the vice world.
Mrs. Phipps said that Steel and an
other investigator came to Sybel.
Martins at 225 E. 23d street last
October. They represented them
selves as Give ones" and proceeded
to stow away wine and food Incl
dentaIly. Mrs. Phipps said they fail
ed to pay for the wine.
About 2 o'clock in the morning
Steel told the women that he and
her partners were ''sleuths'' and were
going to arrest them.
After much arguing and protesting
on the part of the women, Mrs.
Phipps charges that their troubles
ended when she paid money to Steel.
Then the men proceeded to spend
the rest of the morning with the
women.

though in possession of many partic- 'ulars of favorable character, will abstain from publishing or comment ing thereon beyond saying that as a result of a series of engagements suc- cessfully terminated and others still developing the conditions of our troops are favorable.
 The spirit of our troops, which have displayed enthusiasm in innumer- able rearguard fights, has received impulse through the success we have gained in recent days in fierce hand to-hand struggles and our fortunate passage to the offensive against the Germans. These encouraging fea- lures have been practically frequent on the front east of the line of Svientsiany-Osmi ~

 The depression which has been observed in the ranks of the Ger mans has not beer, without influence on the morale of our men.

LOAN COMMISSIONERS
 EXPRESS GRATITUDE
Representatives of Allies Show App ppsciation Of America's Friendship
 in Speeches at Banquet.


 New York;, Oct 1.-Lord Reading, Lord Chief Justice of England, chair man of the commission, and Octav- fer Homberg, of the French foreign office were speakers at a banquet giv en them last night by the Pilgrims Society of the United States.
 Lord Reading said that, after ex- periencing the sympathy of those with whom he had dealt while in the United States, he felt tempted to ig- more the restraint regarding the war to which he had committed himself before leaving England. You in America have done much to help us by your sympathy" he said. Never will I or my colleagues from Fran ce forget that after more than a year of war you have clasped us to your hearts and made us fe1 what a great bond of sympathy there is between us"
 MT. Homberg asserted t/at his ex- perience here had convinced him that no incident could arise that would lessen the friendship between the United States and France.
 Joseph H. Choate, former ambas- sador to Great Britain, who presided. said:
 The commission has been working with our leading financial interests after weeks of conferences, while had they submitte the question to the American people it would have been

ABSOLUTE PRECISION
 OF U-BOAT LOSSES
Reason Why England Docs Not Mako Public Destruction of Ger
 man Submarines.

London, Oct. IA desire for aP- solute precision was advanced by Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty, in the house of commons yesterday afternoon as the reason for not making public figures on German submarine losses.
 MT. Balfour expressed great synl- pathy with the desire for such infor- nation, but said that the difficulty of satisfying curiosity on the subject arises from the inevitable margin of doubt which attaches to any attempt to estimate the numbers of enemy submarines destroyed and the conAe- quent impossibility of giving accur- ate statistics.
 We have every graduation" he added, from absolute certainty, through practical assurance down to faint possibility. Facts like these are not fitted for statistical statements. Should the admiralty confine itself O cases of absolute certainty we uhr doubtedly would be undertaking the truth. If we included all cases of reasonable possibility we might be exaggerating, and no defensible ltnad can be drawn between these two deA grees."

Build a strong character that will

If anybody hands you a lemon add a

you must not make the mistake of try

is nothing that a young man wants for
his ideal that is not found in Christ.
He fits in with all human needs and
calls out all that is best in man. Men
say that Christ taught the truth in his
life and in his words. Then why not
do as he said. Bread will not nourish
the body except it be eaten. Neither
will truth benefit the character except
1t be appropriated and practiced. AT
the conclusion of his address Mr..
