District Attorney Swami believes that
raising money to buy doughnuts and
chocolates for the men cover There"
ought to be stopped. He considers that
doughnuts and chocolates are "unessen-
tials" and the persons who collect
money from New Workers to supply the
soldiers with the articles in question
are sentimentalists. Accordingly, he
has instructed Assistant District Attor-
ney Edwin p Kilroe, in charge of the
Bureau of War Charities Investigation,
to summon the men and women who
are at the head of the "doughnut" and
chocolate" funds to his Office to-day
and find out how much money they
have raised and their methods of So
liciting it.
~ am informed that the persons who
are behind the chocolate fund.-" said
Mr.. Swami, "have spent nearly $4,000
buying uniforms for the boys who go
around collecting the money. If any
one thinks that doughnuts and choco-
late will add to tn. fitness of the
American soldier to defeat the German
army, he is mistaken. 1t is too sent-
mental, and must be relagated to the
discard. These committees-and there
are scores of them, all bent on different

Mrs. Hearst Complains

Alleges Criminal Libel and
Also Starts Civil Actions

District Attorney Swami Yesterday
afternoon gave out the following state
ment:
"Mrs. William R. Hearst, through her
counsel, William A. De Ford, ESD. has
made complaint to the District A.
torney against a number of newspa-
pers for the publication of an article
concerning Mrs. Hearst, which, he
charges, is false and libellous, and pub
ilshed with malicious intent to injure,
humlllate and defame, and asks that
an OF the facts in connection with this
llbellous article be presented to the
grand jury without delay.
"The article complained of alleges
that Mrs. Hearst is known to be pro

The District Attorney named as the

''Greenwich Press" Calls
"Ad" Untruthful and De-
clines to Print 1t
Council Of Defence
Is Planning Action
Expected to Launch Cam
paign Against "Ameri-
can" and Journal"

GREENWICH. Conn, June 14.-Will-
lam Randolph Hearst's three-column
reply to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's
denunciaton of his editorial policy has
been barred from "Thc Greenwich
Press" as "untruthful advertising"
Ralph Morrow. editor and manager
of "The Press" said:
"A few days ago we received letter
from the Hearst papers inclosing some
of Brisbane's writings and asking US
to use them in view of the fact they
were sending US some advertising copy
for the Hearst papers.
II threw Mr.. Brisbane's writings into
my biggest wastebasket and registered
a vow that his advertising would have
q smaller chance of getting into The
Greenwich Press than kidney pill copy
or any other notorious fake advertis
ing"
The copy, in the form of stereo-
type plate headed "Mr. Hearst Answers
bate at Proper Time" arrived at the
plant of "The Greenwich Press" yes
terday afternoon, but it will not be
used Mr.. Morrow said he would be
glad to return it to the owner.
On April 81, 1917, Samuel Hopkins
Adams in his Advisor column in The
New York Tribune said: "Greenwich
is not large city. The Greenwich
Press is not large paper, but the
volume of advertising it carries is as
tonishing, and the advertising is clean
apd honest"
The executive committee of the
Greenwich War Bureau. the local
branch of the Connecticut Council Of
Defence, will meet next Monday. At
that time Arthur S. Todd, Greenwich
merchant, will bring up the matter of
the further circulation in Greenwich
of the Hearst newspapers, "The New
York American" and "The Evening
Journal" His associates in the War
Bureau say there is no doubt that
action of a drastic character will be
taken.
Philip Marks, the chief local news
dealer, said this afternoon that action
by the townspeople would be entirely
unnecessary if the Hearst circulation
continues to dwindle at the rate it has
been going. "Thus far the circulation
of The American has fallen IS per
cent" he declared
Among the members of the executive
committee of the War Bureau are A. w.
". Marshall vicepresident of the
Greenwich Trust Company; Robert l..
Chamberlain, president of the Putnam
Trust Company; George F. Dominick,

State Democrats
To Ignore Hearst i'm
Naming Candidate
Editor Not Asked Even to
Send Representative to
Conference Tuesday

Charles F. Murphy and William r.
Hearst, who went "over the top" to-
gether in the mayoralty campaign last
fall, and who rejoiced together in the
division of the spoils, are drifting fur
ther and further apart in the matter of
choosing Democratic candidate for
Governor.
According to the present programme,
Mr.. Hearst will not be consulted, but
the upstate and downstate men, with
the full sanction of Tammany Hall. will
choose candidate who will gratefully
accept all the votes that Mr.. Hearst
can swing to him, without delivering
anything in return
Lawrence j. O'Reilly, Mr.. Hearst's
confidential man, said yesterday that
Mr.. Hearst had not been asked to send
representative to the conference of
the steering committee of upstate Dem
ocrats in Utica on Tuesday next, and
he said he doubted if any one repre-
Sentlng Mr.. Hearst would be there In
answer to direct question Mr. O'Reilly
said:
II think that Mr. Hearst knows moth
ing about the conference. At this time
Mr. Hearst will make no statement.
Personally l would like to see him run
for Governor"
In Tammany circles not much is be-
ing said about Mr.. Hearst The nearer
the anxious inquirer gets to Mr.. Muir
ply the less there is said. But it is a
case where there is llot of llumina-
tion communicated by the sign Ian
guage, and the friends of Charles f.
Murphy are indulging in lot of sub
dued laughter. Mr.. Hearst still is re-
garded as q partner in the joint stock
ASSOCIATION of which Mayor Hylan is
the disbursine agent, and no one shows
any disposition to "n1ake trouble in the
business" as Mr.. Croker once said in
referring TO Bird S. Coler
Unless Mr.. Hearst "starts some
thing" before next Tuesday the con-
ferrees will assume that he has too
many other things on hand to warrant
his taking part in the governorship
battle. Mayor Hylan at the conference
OF Mayors in Newburgh this week did
all he could, apparently, to keep Mr..
Hearst's name on the political battle
map for the campaign of 1918, but as
most of the Mayors at the conference
were Republicans, and read the papers,
the Mayors speech did not make a pro
found impression.

New White Slave
Plot Works Under
Patriotisrn's Guise
Scheme Is Barred by Arrest
of Salesman Who Sought
Spy Decoys

Alfred E. Lindsay, fitty-two years
old, who says he is a salesman living
at 410 Eighth Avenue, was arrested
yesterday in the New York Athletic
Club on charge of white slavery. Ac-
cording to Assistant District Attorney
James E. Smith, the complainant is a
Mrs. Beatrice Estes Weille, twenty
eight years old, of 2O1 West Eighty
seventh Street. The indictment charges
Lindsay violated Section 2,460 of the
penal law In that he attempted to in
duce the complainant to commit i'm
moral acts.
According to Mr.. Smith, the Weille
woman answered an advertisement of
Lindsay's in the New York Herald of
November 21, 1917, in which Lindsav
offered good pay to young women will
ing to do secret service work. She
alleges she met Lindsay at the Hotel
Astor and that he outlined a scheme
whereby she was to frequent certain
high class hotels and get evidence
against German spies by making love
to them.
According to Mr.. Smith, Lindsay rem
resented that he was connected with
the United States Secret Service, and
that the government sanctioned the
methods by which the young girls were
to wiring secrets from suspected spies.
Mr.. Smith says Lindsay told Mrs.
Weille he had one hundred girls work
ing for him, and that one of them went
to Boston, and by using the methods
he described, she bagged fourteen spies
in one day. Mrs. Weille refused to take
the position of 500 week on Lind
says terms.
Last month Mr. Smith got on the
trail of Lindsay and learn I'd he had
negotiated with the Weille woman. She
was found and agreed to go to a fur
nished room house at 105 East Seven
teenth Street on June Z, where she tel
ephoned to Lindsay at the New York
Athletic Club asking him to meet her
there, as she desired to reconsider his
offer of last November.
According to Mr.. Smith, John G..
Purdie, Federal agent. and two men,
bers of the Protective Society wit
messed the meeting and a dictoxraph
was placed in the room. This evidence.
was presented to the grand jury. II
became known yesterday that Lindsay
was arrested early this month for inn
personating Federal officer, bur the
charge was dismissed for lack of evil
dence of an overt act.
Lindsay gave mis- name to the police
as albert Lendsley." He said his in
dictment and arrest was "frameup."

go Per Cent of
City Coal Users
Have Orders In
Immediate Application Is
Urged if Consumers Want
Fuel for Winter
By BRIGGS

Ninety per cent of New York con-
sumers have complied with the govern
ment's request to order next winters
coal supply now. The remaining 10 per
cent will be without fuel when cold
weather comes unless they put in their
orders soon.
Officials of the Fuel Administration.
% broadway, explained yesterday that
much confusion has arisen over the
governments efforts to settle in ad-
vance the coal question for next winter.
Many persons who have put in, their
orders have expected that the coal
would be delivered Immediately, and
nave complained when informed that
they had to take their turn. Others
have been at a loss as to how to have
their order recorded.
10 settle these questions j. S. Wig
gins, Deputy Fuel Administrator, yes
terday arranged these instructions:
Whether you are householder or a
manufacturer, large consumer or a
small consumer, figure out how much
coal you will need between now and
April l, next year.
Leave your order with the coal
dealer with whom you dealt last year.
If you wish to change your dealer,
or if you did not buy coal last year, go
to the full board, either at 1874 Eldridge
Street, on the East Side, or at 65 Broad
way
"The dealer who takes your order
will file and number it in the order of
its receipt The order will then be
iilled as 1T is reached; that is, two
thirds OF your order will be delivered
probably by September 1. The re-
mainder will be delivered after all
orders have been filled on the two
thirds basis.
New York has been allotted for it's
use until next spring about 5000, 900
tons of coal. This will provide for it's
normal needs. The coal is now being
received as fast as transportation facil-
tiles will permit. There is reason to
believe that at least two-thirds of the
allotment will be here and delivered
by September /.
THE advantage Of getting your or
der in early is apparent. 1t helps the
seventy-fve large coal dealers in the
city to estimate how much they will
have to handle. Besides it helps to
facilitate delivery and. get that much
congestion out of the way before winter
sets in"
"The fact that nine out of every ten
consumers already have filed their
orders shows that New Workers., en-
lightened by their experience last win
ter, are taking no chances this year."
said Mr.. Virgins. eve believe it is
possible to stock everybody up with
coal before the severe cold comes. OF
course, sufficient coal has not arrived
yet, but it is coming in much faster
than it is being consumed. The surplus
will enable us to fill UP bunkers and
cellars during the summer"

sionaries Prom japan who have spent
long periods Of years there, mingling
with the great masses of the people.
"In this connection the missionaries
present agreed that their representa-
tives from Japan should exert every
possible influence in their public ad-
dresses, private conversations and con-
tributions to the press to counteract
the baneful influence Of the yellow
press of the country.
eve said plainly that we referred to
that section of the press represented
by the Hearst aggregation of papers.
There was heated denunciation of their
Misrepresentation Of the Japanese dis
position towards us.
This ant-Japanese propaganda is
baneful, false and utterly malicious.
At tomorrow mornings session our
committee will present resolutions
which will enable the union to make
its stand against the Hearst sheets q
matter of permanent record"

LAMENTATION

IAAMENTATION
Though we seldom have bs~ &hot at
and we bear no battle scnts,
Few have suffered more consistently
beneath the reign OF Mars.
The vim that nature gave to us long
months ago has sped
And we hold in place with both our
hands a much inflated head.
For every week for many months the
war call of the nation
Has summoned up some bosom friend:
result-a celebration.
Wherefore we raise with husky voice
this piteous lament.
We have had farewell blowout with
most every guy that went.
We are getting tanked so frequently
we loathe the taste of booze,
And the sound of corks a-popping
makes US shudder in our shoes.
The very sight of swinging doors in
spires a ghastly dance
In that region roughly bounded by the
VI Jul pdHtSs
But still, quite resolutely, we pursue
our purpose high,
And tonight well quaff more fagons,
for Joe leaves to learn to fly.
Place this single, simple epitaph upon
our monument,
"He had a farewell blowout with most
every guy that went"
Twenty thousand shells have fallen
on the American lines within the last
twenty-four hours, an evening papers
headline informs us, and for the life
of us we could summon up no envy for
the chap who was assigned to counting
them.
If the official communicates of the
contending parties are to be believed,
Mrs. Fanny Schulman, of Hicksvillc.
who is suing her husband for separa-
tion at Mineola, had decidedly the bet
ter of the action that preceded the
legal one.
Mrs. Schulman says Charles, her
husband, was cruel to her, beat her
with a broomstick and tried to gag her
with rags.
Mr.. Schulman says Fanny, his wife
was cruel, and during one encounter
discharged against his forces with ex-
cellent aim one heavy iron spoon, q
coal scuttle, set of dishes and pumr
handle.
