New York, Dec. 10.--When Charles De F. MolyneauX. an internal reye- nue inspector, was arraigneG here to- day on a charge of using his official position in an attempt to defraud a wealthy widow. the story sounded like the plot of q screen scenario. The inspector was held in 5000 bail.
 According to William H. Edwards, collector of the Second District, Mrs. Della L. Martin reported to him that Molyneaux had visited her and after telling her the government had claim of s4.00O in taxes for the years 1911, 1915 and 1915. offered to settle fer S1, 400, which she said he told her was his commission.
 MT. Edwards had a listening device installed in Mrs. Martins home, sum moned an expert stenogra pher from Washington and had Mrs. Martin meet Molyneaux again. After she had MolyneauX repeat his ocer, Mrs. Mar tin handed him a check for $1 400.
 Government agents trailed Molly neoux to bank and arrested him as he emerged with the check, on which payment had been stopped. in his pocket.
 MolyneauX drew the check from his pocket and attempted to swallow it, Mr. Edwards said. as the party start ed to board an elevated train. The agents choked him until the incrimi- hating slip of paper fell from his lips and Molyneaux was then taken to the Tombs prison.

Tn this connection he announced tn France and Great Britain alread 7 have acquired the entire surplus stock of Argentine grain for tue next two years.
 American coal the commissioner said, was little known in Argentina before the war. though that country produced no fuel of it's own an-l was dependent for it on the lfnIted States ehd Great Britain. Brt,Sh coal wa lSed he explained, because ships cor- Veying cereals to Europe returned with ccal as ballast and thus the freight re1es were nominal.

CONFIDENT OF OUTCOME
 OF THE BRITISH ELECTION

London, Dec. 10, via .Montreal.-The British election campaign on the whole
 is lethargic, owing to the result not
 being in doubt. There is general agree
 ment as to the outcome. The govern
 ment will carry more than 400 seats,
 and of these members one fifth will be
 liberal supporters of Lloyd George The
 second largest organized group will be
 the labor party, which may get 100
 seats. The following of ex-Premier
 Asquith is developing strength and
 m yaelect S5 or 90 members. The re-
 mainder of the house will be composed
 mainly of Sim Feiners
 The virtual destruction of the na- tionalist party is looked for in some 1 quarters. While the result will give the government a good majority, it is not believed that it will stabilize the political situation which is very un- certain.
 There is very little controversy over the governments program, which is generally accepted but the argument l of labor and of the Asquith liberals is that there are reactionary influences behind Premier Lloyd George that will cancel the program if they are strong 1 enough in the new house to give effect ], to their will
 /; The features of the campaign are 1 the bitterness shown toward Lloy d i George by the Asquith liberals and the l laborites and the fact that meetings 1 addressed by extremists in the labor party are very largely attended. There is much discussion as to the effective ness of the provision for taking sol i t1iers' votes
 The opposition says that only 8 per cent. of the soldiers can vote. while the government insists that facilities win be extended to 80 per cent. A majority of the soldier vote is claimed by both sides.

DR. RuMELY ARRAIGNED l BEFORE U. s, COMMISSIONER

New York, Dec. 10.--Dr. Edward A. Rumely, who bought the New York Evening Mail with money said to have been furnished by the German gov ernment, was arraigned before United States commissioner here to- day under an indictment brought against him in Washington, D C. on Dec. 2, charging him iwith failure to report to the allen property custodian that he was indebted to the German government for s1,451, 100 and that he had failed ot disclose that'he controlled on behalf of Germany certain shares of stock of the s. $. Mcclure News paper corporation on Oct IT, 1917.
 The defendants counsel said today he was prepared to contest his clients removal to Washington on the eve of trial here on a charge of perjury. The latter accusation was made in an in dictment brought in connection with Dr. Rumelvs report regarding the purchase of the Evening Mail which has since passed out Of his hands The perjury case bond of $3J, 900 was today held to cover bond of the Was. ington ease and the hearing was ad- journed until Dec. T..
 Tn a statement made at the close of the proceedings Dr. Rumely charged that the new indictment simply dupli- cates the first, in an effort to have the place of trial changed from New York to Washington. He contended that such a transfer to a strange court, with different rules of procedure, and hundreds of miles away, is an unfair burden and handicap. inasmuch as his attorneys, offices and staffs and ex perience, as well as voluminous mass of books. files and records, which gre to be introduced as evidence, and part of which cannot be moved from the city, are here.
