ROB PROSECUTOR OF WHITE SLAVE
 CASE DOCUMENTS
Burglars Tear Up Statements and Steal Five Import
 ant AfidavitS.

New York. Oct. 4.-What Assistant District Attorney James E. smith said was the most daring step ever taken by the white slave trust" in New York City took place early yesterday morning, when robbers entered his home, No. 122 West One Hundred and Third street, and, while he slept in one room, ransacked his desk in the study adjoining and stole copies of five affidavits important in the pres ent investigation.
 Fifteen other statements. obtained from women with difficulty, were torn up and thrown on the floor. The robbers then went into MT. Smiths room, took a watch and chain and some money from the bureau, entered his sons room, stole money from clothing there and departed.
 But the white slave investigation will not be hampered badly by the thefts, as MT. Smith had carried home only copies of the affidavits. leaving the originals in the District Attorneys safe. However, the thieves got infor- nation which the District Attorney had intended to keep secret until the time of the white slave trials.
 MT. Smith said that recently he had seen men hanging around the corridor outside his office, and they appeared to be deeply interested in witnesses he was examining. On Monday night. when he left his office carrying bag of papers, he noticed several men loi- tering by the door.
 He went home and worked in his study until 1 in the moring. Then he went to bed. The thieves did not disturb him.
 In awakening at his usual hour he glanced into his study while dressing and beheld it in confusion.
 Quick examination of his desk showed that five affidavits outlining testimony to be given at the trials of Dave Siberia, Max Axelrod and Sam the Peddler' were gone.
 The prosecutor refused to reveal the names of those whose statements had been stolen or torn up. But he said the destroyed statements related to general matters connected with the white slave investigation" and that some were to have formed the basis for investigation directed against cer- tain policemen.
 MT. Smith reported the robbery to Police Headquarters and detectives were put on the case.
 This is the second time within two years that he has been robbed. In 1914 burglars entered the same apart ment when he was in the country and obtained some articles. At that time he was investigating the doings of a notorious disorderly house keeper and had in his possession an import ant affidavit made by Alice Henry.

RETIREMENT OF CHANCELLOR IS
 ASKED BY FOES
Definite Drive Against Won Bethmann- HOllweg Made
 In Circular.

Berlin, Oct. 4.-Opposition to Chan cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg took a definite form today.
 One of the latest developments is a circular demanding the retirement of the chancellor which has been sent by a vociferous group of his oppon- ents to such members of the Reich stag as are considered open to their arguments.
 The indictment covers almost every thing in the chancellor's conduct of foreign affairs before and during the war. The attacks are made in par ticular on his attempt to reach an agreement with England, his first move toward Belgium neutrality and his policy among the signers of the issue. The only name of international prominence among the signers is that of Ernst Haecket, and the circular is regarded as symptomatic rather than serious.
 Another factor which is disturbing the political situation is breach of the political truce proclaimed at the outset of the war, which was made by the Saxon Socialists. This faction has determined to run candidate for the seat in the Reichstag vacated by the death of the conservative, Ernst Eduard Giese. This determination violates, the general agreement be- tween the political parties that all va cant. seats shall be resigned without contest to the party holding them at the outset of the war. Uf
 Meanwhile, the chancellor and the Reichstag 1eaders continue to discuss the points at issue behind closed doors. The discussion is being conducted on an even more confidential basis than before. It is being no longer held before the full committee on ways and means. to which all members of the Reichstag are admitted as audi tors, but in smaller select commit tee of party leaders who are especially bound to secrecy. Such reports as leak out say that while the antagonism between the chancjllor and his op- ponents has not disappeared. the dis cussion is now being condurted on the basis of reason and not passion.
 The friends of the chancellor appear to be fully satisfied with the situation and declare that he has it well in hand. }.H
