Indictments of Police
In Cruger Case Predicted

Several indictments may be returned
next week by the extraordinary grand
jury which is conducting an investi-
cation to fix the responsibility In the
Cruger case. The jurors have asked
that they be released from service
during August, and 1t is expected that
evidence against accused policemen
and officials of the department will be
rushed through this coming week.
After taking August of, the jury will
reconvene in September to continue its
investigation of the Police Department.
Detectives and other members of the
force, who have been accused of STU
pldity, have testified before the grand
jury. and, it is understood, have passed
the buck" TO their superiors. At least
one official at headquarters is in dam
ger OF indictment. an Assistant Dis
trict Attorney said yesterday.
"ilful negligence" is the charge on
which the indictments are expected to
be based. Il is held that a man charged
with public duty can incur guilt by
gross negligence, or the belief that his
own opinions must take precedence
over all others, is well as by dishon-
esty.
No indictments are likely TO result
from the vague accusations that the
police or others had guilty knowledge
of Cocchi's escape. After the jury is
finished with this case, it Is the inten-
tion of the District Attorney to bring
20 its attention other alleged examples
of police ineficiency.
Regarding a man who is said to have
aided Cocchi to escape. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Talley said last night:
at is absolutely necessary that
Cocchi be returned to this country to
stand trial for the murder of Ruth
Cruger. II we had him in this country
we could probably get him to tell the
whole truth. His confession so far has
been incomplete and contradictory. 1t
Is Of no help in dealing with the ques-
tion of who helped him escape and
why"

San Francisco, July 27.-President
Wilson was appealed to to-day by the
Gamers League Of California for Fed
eral Intervention in the fruit and vege-
table cannery strikes here and In the
Santa Clara Valley. In part, their teie-
gram to President Wilson read:
Enemies of the country are behind
this desperate movement. which is
sweeping over many Western states.
No dispute over wages or hours OF
labor. Agitators, practically all for
eigners, are forcibly stopping men and
women going to work by threats to Kill.
This Is not a strike, but con-
spiracy to stop fruit and vegetable
packing, resulting in destruction, to
large quantities of fruit products abso-
lutely necessary for use Of our army
and navy, our allies and the country
az large. Goods already sold to the
government cannot be delivered"
About $500 men and women are az
fected by the strike.

The railroads have appealed 20

Rule Barring Aliens
From Ships Not To

Department of Justice Or
der VIII Enforce Itself,
Says Marshal Mccarthy

United States MARSHAL Thomas D. Nc
Carthy announced yesterday that moth
ing will pe done to enforce the rule
promulgated by the Department of JUS
tice on Thursday barring alien enemies
from all boats except ferries in the
waters about New York.
"The order will enforce itself" he
said. He added that the rule does not
apply to women, only males above the
age Of fifteen coming within its scope.
isn't it we'll recognized fact that
some of Germany's most dangerous
spies are women =" ne was asked.
"The Presidents proclamation on
alien enemies applies only to men," he
replied.
Police on the Watch
As matters stand, spies are as free
as ever to do as they please about the
harbor, the Sound and the Hudson.
Mr.. Mccarthy, who has no men avail
able to enforce the order, said that the
pOilOc lOlSt VI I've" iOlh - vi wv
watch for alien spies.
HAS any request been made to the
police to assist in this matter?' ne
was asked.
"No. there has been no request made.
1t is not necessary. The Germans here
will continue to obey the law as they
have been doing"
Publication in the morning newspa-
pers yesterday of the decision of the
Attorney Generals Office TO issue the
order caused wonder in steamship cir
cles as to how the ruling was to be en-
forced and what navigation companies
were expected to do in connection with
it. There was no disposition to fight
il. but there was q desire TO find out
how the thing was expected to work
cut. They did not know then that the
order was expected to be self-enforc-
ing.
Says All Spies Are in Jail
/ It is the contention of Mr.. Mccarthy
| that all Germans in New York are safe
and that the only dangerous ones were
rounded up in the early days of the
war. He further maintains that it is
not desirable that anything be done
that will in any way discommode then
until and unless they are caught il
) some depreciation or other overt act
Hence, any German who may take i
: upon himself TO spy upon the shipping
and military operations in the harbol
is free 20 do go.

DO YOU HAVE DIZZY SPELLS?
It's Important to Learn the Cause, As
Many Audubon People Have Done.

Dizziness is never a disease of itself
its only a symptom of some deep
er seated trouble. Much dizziness is
caused by disordered kidneys failing
to filter all the poisons from the
blood. These poisous attack the
nerves and dizziness results. If you
are subject to dizziness, there is good
reason to suspect your kidneys, and
if you suffer backache, headache,
and irregularity of the kidney secre-
tions, you have further proof. Many
Audubon people learned the value of
Doan's Kidney Pills in just such
cases. Read this Audubon residents
statement:
Miss Clara Leonard, 521 Washing
ton ST., Audubon, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills for lame back,
when every move made caused acute
pain. l had dizzy spells and was so
languid and weary mornings that l
could hardly drag myself around.
Doans Kidney Pills were suggested
to me and l procured some at the
Prick Drug Co. Now the backache
has left me and l sleep well, having
become free of that nervous restless
ness. l have had no remedy at home
which equals Doan's Kidney Pills
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Miss Leonard had. Foster-Milburn
