Charge Made That Young
Women Guests Received
500 FavOrS.
ONE CITY OFFICIAL
SAID TO BE INVOLVED
Two indictments Handed
Down Against Man Ac-
cuSed of Attacking Girl.

Private dinners in uptown restau-
rants that Get around the o'clock law
by means of club licenses, and others
held in studios and the private homes
of men well known ir the financial and
artistic circles Of New York, in which
il is charged that the women guests
were secured in violation of the white
slave law, are now under the scrutiny
of the District Attorneys office.
This development of the vice inquiry
follows the complaint of the mother OF
young girl who was at one of these
affairs. held in the home of a millionaire
we'll known in art and literary circles.
The girl in this case furnished the
names of the millionaire host and OF
other men present, while girls she
named identified most Of the remaining
guests. At this and similar affairs the
women, usually recruited from the
ranks of chorus girls and the stage
struck who haunt Broadway agencies
looking for engagements, received cost
ly favors. 800 bills tucked away in the
napkins being the most popular SOU

nection the gifts of 500 in cash to each
arc so important that lawyer, guest
at at least one Of these affairs, is de-
clared TO have advised that the pay
ment OF money was dangerous.
Startling Story Told.
The story of the particular dinner
under immediate investigation as told
by the witnesses thus far is such a
recital as has not been heard in the
Criminal Courts Building since Evelyn
Nesbit Thsw, testifying to save her
husband, described the parties held in
Stanford Whites apartments in Madi-
son Square tower The male guests
included several young millionsires
and at least one prominent city Of

the host. This official and his artist
millionaire host were not about their
usual haunts yesterday, but friends of
both were busy trying to make il APP
pear that the dinner in question was
an innocent little affair AT which moth
ing more wicked than Oriental dancing
was INDUCED in.
Women thus far examined by the
District Attorneys Office say this is
quite true of the early stages of the
dinner, before the champagne had time
10 get in its full effect. Then. they
say, the sky was the limit, the dinner
became supper, then breakfast; thai
some stayed in the millionaire's home
until after luncheon, and that the only
parts Of the house which the jewellers
did not use were the cellar and the
roof

as widely known as he, is absent from
the city. So also are the wives of the
city official involved and Of most of

furnished the girls.
City Official Went Away.
The dinner became so uproarious that
the official in question found an excuse
for leaving while the party was still
at the table, il is said. News OF the
affair reached the District Attorney
through a relative of one OF the girls.
Two indictments were handed down
Yesterday against John Hausenrelter,
twenty years old, charging white
slavery, and with attacking girl whom
he sought to make a white slave. Hi'

to dominate the affairs of this city,
and not altogether for the public
good, but rather for their personal
qualification and gain.
As to his accomplishments we
point to the following which come
to our mind at this time, among
the great number Of worthy things
Mayor Loeb's administration ac-
complished:
ist: The improving of the water
works and electric light plant OF
this city from an approximate loss
of 100000 annually to an approx
mate profit Of s8,O0O.O0 annually, a
difference of approximately Sf4,-
10000 to the taxpayers. The plant
made self-sustaining in the first
Is months of Loeb's first admins
tration with additional tax Of only
s6, 10000 to bring about this splendid
result. IN connection with this we
find that the minutes of Oct. IL,
1912, page 237, records the follow
ing:
Motion by Mr.. Daniel:
That the Board Of Aldermen ex-
press their thanks to Mayor Loen
for his energy and success IN II
nancing and obtaining a loan OF 20
900 for improvig the power plant
Motion seconded and carried.

Mayor Loeb, the Doer Of Things,
The Faithful Official

After all is said and done to dis
credit Mayor Loeb's candidacy for
reelection the prominent fact
stands out in bold relief that ne
has accomplished during his two
administrations more than has been
accomplished during all the pre-
vious administrations, and we say
this without any discredit to his
predecessors, and the thinking cit
liens and taxpayers will not fail to
recognize and reward him at the
approaching municipal election.
Most of the opposition to Mr.. Loeb
springs from personal grievances,
political pique, or a desire for po-
litical advancement, there being no
demand from the substantial inter-
ests and taxpayers of this city Tor
a change. One of the most per-
suasive arguments in favor of MI.
Loeb is that he is absolutely lnde-
pendent in everything he does, and
he does not suffer any man to die
tate to him what course he should
take in any public matter. This
very independence that we speak OF
has brought him opposition from
some sources that are accustomed
