POLICEMEN FALLING
 INTO SMITHS NET
Expects to IndiCt Fifteen More
 Through Boston Visit

Boston, Sept. 2.-Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith of New York, in charge of the vice investiga- tion there which has resulted already in the indictment of eight policemen. arrived here in search of witnesses who, he said, had been spirited away by interests that feared the trend his investigation was taking. He left last night, having found his witnesses and, in addition, having learned the names of members of the New York police force who provided the funds that financed the flight from New York
 We'll get at least fifteen more po- licemen before we're through" said MT. Smith jubilantly. I've come to an understanding with the witnesses I found here. Ever since Jack Rose and the other informers made terms with the state in the famous Becker Rosenthal case we've found that vio-

DURAND WAS FAR
 BEHIND IN WORK
Even Republican Commission Re-
 ported Faults in Census Bureau

Portland, Me-, Sept. 2.-William c. Redfield, secretary of commerce, last night answered the charges of Charles F. Hughes that appointm ents to the posts of director of census and super intendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey had been made for political reasons without regard to the eff cienCy of the service. It is proper, he said, that an administration should render an account of it's work and that the department Of comm cree vel comed the most searching inquiry and the fullest publicity.
 "The census work was found to be sadly behind," said MT. Redfeld. 50 much so that much of it which cost the government large sums was either of such nature or so long delayed that the expenditure upon it proved useless. For example, there was spent the interrogatory known as the Mother Tongue Inquiry an amount which the records shows to be up ward of 5000 there was spent ap- proximately $15O,0OO upon a special inquiry as to ccupations-from neither have any results whatever come. The regular investigation on wealth, debt and taxation for the year 1902 was not published until 1907. The same investigation for the year 1913 was completed and published in 1914, although in the latter case the scope of the inquiry was enlarged.
 The report as to statistics of cities for the year ended January 31. 1911. was published February 1. 1913, two years afterward. The report of stat lst1cs for cities for the year ended January 31, 1912, was published Mo- vember 1, 1913, twenty one months after. The same report, however, for the fiscal year 1915 was in the print CTS hands less than seven months aft- CT the inquiry closed The physical statistics of cities collected in 1909 were published July 23, 1913-four years afterward, whereas, the renort l on general statistics compiled for inc l year ended June 30, 1915. was in the | printers hands in the following Mo- vember.
 Soon after w. G. Harris succeeded E. Dana Durand as director of the census" Secretary Redield said "he found the work in such backward con- dition that he called in to assist him an expert commission consisting of four republicans and one democrat. This expert committee reported that. although three and one-half years have now elapsed since the enumera- tion, much to the thirteenth census work is till uncompleted,' and they advised that the annual compilation of statistics of forest products be aban- doned. There appears to be no au- thorlty or law for an annual, inquiry of this character which the records show cost $20,000 to s40,00O a year.

lators of the law are quite ready to turn states evidence. It's merely a
 matter of picking the witnesses we l want and directing our energies | against what I may call the big fish
 of the case. We'll get 'em, too." | MT. Smith found the men and wo- 1 men he sought in house in Dwight 1 street against which he led a raid l Crowds gathered about the house and watched curiously as MT. Smith and ms men, among them Detective
 Philip McGlynn of Lieutenant Costi- l gan's squad and Howard Barbour, su- l per1ntendent of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, broke in on a gay dinner party. There were nine- teen men and women in the house. All were well dressed, and there was wine on the dinner table. There ap- peared to be no shortage of funds, and
 the party seemed to be making the best of it's exile from New York From the group MT. Smith picked Philip, or John Schick of Brooklyn, who, the assistant district attorney
 said, is under indictment as a white
 shaver; Jennie Price, Sadie Rothen-
 berg, Dora White, Schick's wife, and
 MT. and Mrs. Morris Bernstein. He
 arrested Schick, who was locked up
 in the East Dedham street station, ]
 and allowed the others to remain at
 liberty after they had promised to ]
 start for New York on early trains. ,
 Schick later agreed to waive extradi-
 ton and accompany MT. Smith to
 New York. The assistant district at
 orney said it was possible the indict-
 ment against Schic11 would be
 dropped in return for his aid against men of more importance in the vice situation.
 Mr. Smith said Schick had been provided with funds to convey to Bos- ton fifteen other women besides those found in the Dwight street house, so they might escape testifying before the grand jury, and he left with the local police a list of addresses where these girls were supposed to be in hiding.
 The New York prosecutor and his party left here last night for Provi- Gence, where other mem bers had pre- Ceded them. He said they were in search of "big fish" and a few more witnesses, and, if they found them, would continue to New York at once.
 New York, Sept. 2.-Mary E. Hig- gins, the night superintendent of the Washington Heights hospital, who was arrested on Thursday night charged with aiding and abetting in the escape of a girl known as Clara Brown, a prisoner in the institution, was arraigned in the Washington Heights court on Tuesday. In con- nection with the arrest District At torney Swann said that he believed -here was an organized effort on the part of wealthy white slavers to de- st TOW evidence and reScue their inns from the penalty of the law. He said that in this instance a nurse who lad left the institution had told him acts which led him to believe that he escape of the Brown girl, who was convicted of violation of the tene- k nent house law was carefully planned.
