ices. Being Of good appearance and a
clever talker and having apparently the
backing Of the road, Quinn picked up
many first payments Of 81, agreeing TO
send the policies in day or two. Final
ly through enquiries Of foreman, writ
ten direct 10 Mr.. Schillinger, the scheme
was brought TO the notice Of railroad
officials. Meantime Quinn had left the
Rutland road and was working the Cen.
tral Vermont and Delaware A Hudson

these companies OF the activities OF
Quinn he was caught IN Plattsburg

having ended May 22. 1918.

TRAP WINS
British Are Reported to
Have Caught at Least
80 Vessels
u. S. GOVERNMENT
SHOWING INTEREST
British Admiralty Thinks 1t
Has Crushed German
Undersea Campaign

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2.-Official re.
ports to the American government, an.
nouncing that successful methods OF
dealing with submarines have been de-
yeloped by Great Britain are Being care
fully studied because of their possible
bearing upon the American naval pol
icy.
These reports assert that at least 80
and possibly 70 German submarines have
been destroyed by the new methods, and
the British admiralty is pot only conf
dent that it has crushed the German
war zone campaign, but that unless the
submarine is made more effective it will
not in the future prove the menace it
has TO commerce and war fleets.
The destruction of the 50th submarine
was celebrated recently by government
officials at dinner, although reports of
the affair were apparently suppressed by
the censor because of the British policy
of keeping Germany in doubt as to the
number OF undersea craft destroyed.
Although every effort is being made
to keep secret the means employed, the
American government has been advised
as to the principal methods adopted to
combat the German undersea campaign.
These operations include the use OF a
submarine telephone for detecting the
huge nets for capturing the
submarines, a special type of mine de-
stroyers and armed trawlers for hunting
fast sea going motor boats
armed with guns and aeroplanes for To-
eating submarines.

RIGGS BANK
MEN INDICTED
President, Vice President, and Cashier
Accused of Perjury in Suit
Against McAdoo and
Williams. ~

Washington, Oct. l.-Charles G. Gloy-
cr, president of the Riggs National
bank; William J. Flather, vice president,
and III. III. Father, cashier, We're indict-
ed yesterday for perjury in connection
with the banks recent suit against Sec
retary McAdoo and Controller Williams.
| Four indictments were returned
against each of the officials, who are
charged with perjury in making an ali
dayit that the bank never had engaged
in stock market transactions and had
no transactions with Lewis Johnston &
Co., now defunet firm OF local stock
brokers.
Attorneys for McAdoo and Williams
contended at the trial of the banks
suit that the books OF Johnston & Co.
showed many transactions in the names
of the bank officials named. The case
soon afterward was laid before grand
jury. Vice President Milton +. Allies and
Joshua Evans, ir, assistant cashier OF
the bank, are not mentioned in the in
dietments returned yesterday.
The indictments are a sequel 10 the
suit of the bank which alleged that
MeAdoo and Williams, because OF per-
sonal animus toward some of the banks
officers, had conspired to injure the in
stitution by Withdrawing public depos-
its, making extradorinary demands for
special reports, and finally by imposing
a fine of $1,000 upon the bank for fail
ure 10 make certain report called for
by the controller.
The district supreme court dismissed
all the charges the bank made against
the secretary and the controller, but left
the question Of the $1,000 fine.
A decision on that point is expected at
the fall term of court.
At the Riggs bank a statement was
issued saying the indictments we're en-.
tirely personal against the officers who
signed the affidavit, and do not involve

under conditions much like those il
France and Prussia under the so-calleo
ancient regime" OF more than century
ago.
The so-called "citizens' committees
which were, in some cities, appointed BY
the retreating Russians to take the
places of the Russian officials who had
departed, and in other cities were APP
pointed on the initiative Of the inhabi-
tants, did good work, but were ham
.pcred by the lack of solid foundation
on which to build. The Germans, there
fore, as soon as it became possible TO 40
so, reorganized the whole system OF mu-
nicipal administration.
This reorganization has been based on
the municipal plan OF Baron Won Stein,
which has for more than century
been the basis on which Prussian mu-
inequalities have been administered. The
reorganization of the finances has been
based on the plans of Won MIGUEL, from
1890 to 1901 Prussian minister OF finance.
The cities are governed by magistracy
and aldermen, appointed from the citi-
zens by the German authorities. The
Poles, as the most numerous race, oc-
cupy majority of these positions, but
Jews, so far as position and capacity
permit, have also been appointed. Ger
man residents have naturally also been
given places in proportion to their num-
bers and economic Importance.
The cities enjoy corporate rights
which were denied to them under the
Russian rule-and can issue loans,
acquire property, impose taxes and in
brief, do all things necessary to the
proper development of city.
