T. P. sHONrS, President.
New York, Feb. 2l, 1916.
As Senator Thompson laid aside the
newspaper he said "Well, all this cor
respondence shows that Mr.. Read
takes issue with something that Mr.
Shonts says he said. and that Mr.
Shonts has a pretty close knowledge
Of what has been testified here"
j. Aspinwsll Hodge, lawyer, in
whose office the suit of the Cont
mental Securities Company against the
lnterborough and its associated COM
panies was first heard. was the next
witness. He testified that he supposed
until the last few days that everybody
in the world knew that the Admiral
Realty Company suit was instigated by
the lnterborough and N the interest OF
that company. He said that Mr. Shonts
testified TO that in a hearing in his
Office in March, 1912, months before
the case was argued in the Court of
Appeals.
Senator Thompson, who expected 70
close the days session with some in
teresting evidence in the shape of
vouchers and other documents from
the files Of 7. A. Gillespie & Co.. then
called upon T. II. Gillespie, vice pres
itent of the Arm, TO produce the pa
pers.
Mr.. Gillespie said he had them with
him, but that on advice of counsel he
would only read transcripts from the
documents.
Mr.. Moss here said that the things
the committee wanted were the papers
showing the transfers Of money from
the New York Office OF the Gillespie
company to its Pittsburgh branch, and
that nothing not germane TO the in
quiry would be made public. But Mr
Gillespie remained eteaItast in his
refusal TO surrender the papers.
"Mr. Chairman" said Mr. Moss. "this
witness is trying 10 determine for the
committee what is pertinent and prop

Gentle Kicks and "POlkadot
Open Door Only To BE Shut at
Sight of Coke" Fiend.

There was whispered consultation
outside the door of an apartment at
1853 South Fifth Street, Brooklyn, last
night. then one OF the six men gently
kicked the door twice. After mo-
ment's pause he placed his lips to tho
keyhole and said "Polkadot." Then he
knocked three times.
All Of which was intended to convey
to the occupants of the place that ne
was drug fend in quest Of stlmuiant
and that he could pay for it. For
m. ment il seemed that the mysterious
countersign had worked. A key turned
a chain was beard rafting and the
door was opened cautiously.
Two sharp eyes appeared in the slit
and were focused on the No. Us that
had kicked the door. That was enough.
Detectives feet. as sure as you're
alive" said the owner of thr deductivs
eyes as she slammed the door. turned
the key and readjusted the chain.
"And that's the girl that's running
the biggest dope joint in New York, as
sure as I'm alive" replied the owner
Of the feet.
So Detectives Dowling and Heinz. OF
the seventh branch bureau, detached
themselves from their companions,
climbed stairway to the roof of the
six story building and descended fire
escape to the fourth floor, in which the
supposed cocaine business was located.
Detectives were clambering through
the window when the two girl occu-
pants of the fiat assailed them with
effect that both detectives have many
punctures TO show for their experience.
But they finally reached the front door,
opened it. and, with the aid of rein
forcements. subdued the militant girls.
A search of the fiat revealed ia
bottles Of heroin and thirty four-ounce
bottles of cocaine, the police say. A
big bowl on the table was being used,
the girls are said to have admitted, in
mixing powdered sugar and milk with
the drug, not to make it less harmless,
but to provide greater profits for the
saleswomen.
The girls gave the names Of Virginia
DeFalco, slightly less than eighteen
years old, and Sadie Corucci, twenty
two. Detectives say they admitted sell
ing the drugs and said they sent ped
lers out each day TO deliver their adul-
terated product TO the trade.

Then said Senator Thompson, still
reading into the record:
II will now read the enclosure, d

The letter, dated February 2e, 1916,
ran:

Is quoted, seems TO have called for my

Senator Thompson then read into the

"The action of the Secretary of the
