ELLIS ISLAND HEAD
 WORSE THAN PLAGUE
Rep. Bennett Says He Is Greater
 Menace Than Paralysis

Washington, July 19.-Charges against Frederick c. Howe, Commis- sioner of Immigration at New York, were made in a speech in the house late yesterday by Representative Will liam S. Bonnet of New York, Repub- lican, who alleged that conditions of immortality had existed and still exist ed at the Ellis Island immigration station as a result of MT. HOwe's ad-
 ministratiOn.
 "A half baked radical, with free love ideas" was one of the terms used
 by MT. Bonnet in assailing MT. Howe.
 The New York member asserted that Commissioner Howe did not
 properly segregate the male and fe-
 male aliens held at Ellis Island, that
 he had recommended the admission
 of immoral women under bond, that
 in one instance he caused the adm1s- sion of an undesirable woman named Juliette, who was placed as a servant in the home of friend of the com
 missioner, and that the Howe admin istration, if charges were not made, would become more @ scOurge to New York than infantile paralysis. MT. Bennett gave the matron al | Ellis Island credit for correcting some of the bad conditions as they were l alleged by him to exist a year or 1 more ago, but said that other evils | had taken their place.
 MT. Bonnet followed his speech by 1 introducing a resolution calling upon 1 the department of labor for informa- 1 tion relating to various phases of MT Howe's administration, including his plan to abolish competitive bidding I in letting contracts for feeding imml- grants detained at the island and sub- stituting a scheme of government ownership of the restaurant privilege | His resolution demands a copy of an l opinion of the department of justice on this point. MT. Bonnet said that 1 he had been unable to obtain a copy l of the opinion.

NINE FRENCHMEN TAKE ll3 GERMANS
Trick Holders Of Fort and Make
 Garrison Prisoners

Paris, July 19, 5:15 a. m.-One of oomme offensive was the taking of the field fort at Biaches and the gar r1son of 113 men by nine French sol- dlers The fort had resisted through out the artillery bonn bardment and the Infantry attacks had been checked hy mnrderous machine gun fire.
 By a lucky chance a French officer discovered the precious secret that the terrible bombardnlert had made the fort vulnerable at one point. Select ing @ second lieutenant, two sergcants, a corporal and four men, he led them on lands and knees through the long grass to the spot where he knew there was a breach in the defenses Tley reached their objective point with out the Germans learning of their approach.
 Abruptly three of the French off, cers leaped into the work shouting in stentorian tones: Forward with the bayonet!" and throwing bombs which exploded in the dugout. The other six daring Frenchmen remained be- hind ready to retreat if the attempt failed.
 But the Germans, taken unawares, had no time to get their weapons, and surrendered almost without show of fight. When one of their number fell, shot by a revolver fired point blank by the commanding French officer, the Germans, 113 in all, came out of their shelters and threw up their hands, the French assert.
 The three French captors now be- gan to feel nervous, as they saw no reason why the Germans should not fall upon and exterminate them.
 But at this moment the other six joined in. Their resolute energy i'm posed upon the Germans, who be- 1ieved that the new arrivals were fol- lowed by many others. The Germans officers in the fort then threw down their arms and the entire garrison was marched to the French rear, escorted by the nine captors, who had not lost a man.

ENTIRE HAVERHILL
 GOVT. IS INDICTED
, Action Grows Out Of Religious 5. Riots in That City

Haverhil1, Mass, July 19.-The Entire city government of Haverhill is :. charged with neglect to suppress an unlawful assembly, indictments re- turned by the Essex county grand jury at Lawrence in connection with the investigation of the rioting in Haverhill several months ago when Thomas Leyden of Somerville at tempted to deliver an address on sec tarian schools. Mayor Albert L. Bartlett and Alderman Roswell l.. ~ Wood, Christopher c. Cook, Charles N. Hoyt, who is also commissioner of public safety, and Albert E. Stickney are named in the indictments.
 According to the district attorneys S office, this is the first time that such charge has been brought against a municipal officer in this state The statute under which the indictments are found provides for a fine of not ~more than $500 as a penalty when any mayor, alderman, selectman, justice of the peace, sheriff or deputy sheriff have knowledge of "riotous or timul- tuous and unlawful assembly," in the city or town where he lives, neglects to exercise his authority for it's SUD- pression.
 The rioting is alleged to have taken SpIace on the night of April 8, when several persons were attacked and beaten by a mob and considerable property damage was caused by stone throwing. The announcement that a meeting would be held in City hall that night at which Thomas Leyden of Somerville, regarded as an anti Catholic speaker, would discuss the As subject of state appropriations for " @sectarian schools, led to the distur- bance. The lecture was not delivered as it was found that the crowd, mum bering thousands, which attempted tC enter the auditorium, was largely an tagonistic to the speaker. For hours the building was besieged by a shout ing mob, many windows in it were broken and rioters also attacked sev. eral private residences, including tha- -1of the commissioner of public safety Alderman Hoyt.
 It is expected that the cases will be beard in the superior court at Law. renee in September.

POLAND PROSPERS
 UNDER GERMANS
Dr. HelferiCh Returns With Pleas
 ant Picture of Unhappy Land

Berlin July 19 by Wireless to Say ville.-Warm commendation of the work done in Russian Poland by the Germans during the period of occu- patton was given by Dr. Karl Helffer- ich, the secretary of the interior and imperial vice chancellor, today, on his return from a visit to that country
 Dr. He1fferich, who recounted the impressions of his visit to a member of the Overseas News Agency staff, entrusted the condition of the coun- try under Russian rule with the state of affairs there today. Tn time of peace, the Russians had neglected the country, said pr. Helfferich. Then came a period fo hostilitics which had devastated the land. Under these conditions the Germans took up the work, which the vice chancellor insist ed has been accomplished with a sue cess which could find few parallels in history.
 The retreating Russians, Dr. Helf- ferch pointed out, had burned will lages and towns and destroyed the harvests. The Germans first built roads through the devastated terri tory and supplied cattle and seeds to the inha bitants, W int the result that now one frequently could see herds of a hundred or more cattle while fields of standing grain were on all sides. He cited an instance of aid given the inhabitants by the Germans the farmers of one district being left the horses of two regiments for field work on orders given by Gen. LNdendOrff.
 pr. Helfferich said he found schools everywhere now, even at places where

SOUTH EMERGING
 FROM FLOOD WATERS
Property Loss Now Estimated As
 High as S15,ooo,oOO

Asheville, N. C., July 19.-F1ood waters Tn the Carolinas and portions Of adjacent states were rapidly re- ceding today, leaving in their wake a property loss variously estimated at from s12,o0O,0OO to s15.OoO.OOO and a list of 34 deaths from drown ing.
 The small villages of Chimney Rock and Bat Cave in Rutherford County, North Carolina, suffered se- we're damage from the volume of water that swept down the narrow valley of the Rocky Broad river, ac- cording to meagre reports reaching here. The towns, each of which has a hundred or more inhabitants are more than 25 miles from a railroad, and without wire communication. Eight persons were said to have been drowned at Bat Cave. Loss to rail- roads, industrial plants and agricul- tural interests in North and South Carolina has amounted into the mill lions, and it may be weeks before the transportation system is restored. Nearly all passengers maro6ned since Sunday on trains in this section had been removed today, however. and in many localities repair work was being rushed and thousands of cotton mill spindles were beginning to turn again.
 Conditions in Virginia and West Virginia were almost normal today and great loss was not feared to the coast section of South Carolina.

MORE SHIPS NEEDED.
American Trade With New Zealand
 Suffering. Says Consul.

Washington, July 19.-Amer1can trade with New Zealand is suffering greatly from lack of shipVing facili- ties, consular reports today said. Inn pcrters are buying from Europe be- cause of more prompt delivery and also because cheaper ocean freight rates are quoted. American manufac- turers could double their sales if given shipping space at the European rates, said the advices.
 Reopening of the Panama Canal is said to have aided American interests somewhat.
