NEW YORK. June IS.

NEW YORK, June IS.
The Grand Jury this afternoon returned
an indictment charging Alfredo CocChi with
the murder of Ruth Cruger, eighteen-year-
old high school girl, who disappeared three
months ago and whose body was found
buried beneath Cocchi's bicycle repair shop
here Saturday.
The Indictment was signed by Judge
wadhams in General Sessions Court and at
once forwarded to Governor Whitman at
Albany in order to ask his arrest at Bolo-
gna, Italy
Meantime sensational probe of the Po-
lice Departments attitude toward inves-
tigation of the case was started by the
District Attorney.
Police Commissioner Wood fatty con-
demned his own department for its inef-
ficient handling of the case and turned the
police end of 1t over to the District At
torney with the suggestion that the Police
Department be included in the general probe
of the Cruger murder mystery.
Wood will drive the police to vigorous
hunt for the white slave ring" which
Mrs. Grace Humiston declares is re-
sponsible for at least twenty-five missing
New York girls she knows Of
This statement promise of a shake-up in
the police departme0t equal to that follow
ing Police Lieutenant Becker's conviction
of the murder Of Herman Rosenthal and the
District Attorneys statement that he has
Cocchi were swift developments in the case.
There are little, Misunderstanding shops
scattered all around some of the high
schools and public schools" said Mrs
Humiston. "Loungers of the most de-
praved type infest these places and watch
the girls going to and from school, When
a girl enters one OF the shops she is in
suited
There are other cellars in New York
holding secrets just as hideous the one

I told names and locations before my evi-
dence is complete the criminals l want
would get away.
New York does not yet realize how sys-
tematized Is the danger for the girls who
live in II. The public readily says when
q girl disappears, It was as much her fault
as the mans. I know better.
when a girl is insulted in one Of these
places she usually broods over the horror
of it. Never would she tell her parents,
for she feels she is partly to blame Little
moral stamina, and soon another girl is
missing
with the right sort Of assistance 1
could show you a case equal in horror to
that Of Ruth Cruger's every month in the
year"
Discussing the case of the Cruger girl,
Mrs. Humiston expressed the belief that
she was attacked by more than one man.
The autopsy revealed what she termed "a
ripper crime of the worst kind" Exam
lining physicians agreed with her.
Probably Ruth, on her visits to the shop
or while passing il, attracted many men,
said Mrs. Humiston. II think there had
been speculation and plans about her."

LOCAL EXPERT RAPS
STAND OF DENMAN

The action Of William Denman, chairman
Of the United States Shipping Board, in
threatening TO hold up the contracts for
new steel ships was characterized as mar
row-mnded and unpatriotic" by the presl-
dent of large manufacturing concern in
this city.
This concern is one of the largest buy
ers Of steel in the country, and IT is now
paying 1924 per ton for the same material
offered to the Shipping Board at sos per ton.
According TO this authority, even though
the Government were 10 take over the
large steel plants it would be impossible
TO produce these plates at less than S94
per ton. He further said:
"Denman has evidently spoken without
a knowledge of the present condition of the
steel market. Such ungrounded objections
as his tend TO njure big business, and
therefore the country at large"

commission Ia not chosen from ono political
group but from the various groups into
which the American electorate is divided.
United, they represent the republic. How
ever much they may differ on public ques-

THE commission is prepared, II the Rus
sian Government desires, TO confer upon
the best ways and means to bring about

Government that It has become the solemn
duty Of those who love democracy and
individual liberty to render harmless this
autoCratic Government, whose ambition, ag-
gression and intrigue have been disclosed
in the present struggle. Whatever the cost
in life and treasure. the supreme object
should be and can be attained only by the
united strength Of the democracies Of the
world and only then can come that per-
manent and universal peace which is the
hope of all people.
ITO the common cause of humanity
which Russia has so courageously and un-
flinchngly supported for nearly three years
the United States is pledged To Coop
crate and aid Russia in the accomplish
ment of the task, which as a great democ-
racy is moro tr Ily hers today than ever
before, is the desire Of the United States.
To stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder,
against autocracy will unite the American
and Russian peoples in a friendship for
the ages.
with this spirit the high commissioners
Of the United States will present themselves
in the confident hope that the Russian Gov
erument and people will realize how sin
cerely the United States hopes for their
welfare and desires to share with them in
their future endeavors to bring victory to
