An attempt by masked highwaymen
to hold up the paymaster of the Com

Wednesday afternoon, was frustrated
by Mrs. Eta Frost, office manager.
VINO raised an outcry when she met
one OF the would-be robbers on the
stairs. The facts were not made known

MIS-. Frost was waiting in a back
room on the second floor for Henry
schultz, the paymaster, who was to
bring her $1,400 to pay off the other
employees. Hearing footsteps on the
stairs which she supposed were
Schultz's, she started down. She en-
countered a man with handkerchief
drawn over his face and screamed.
The intruder ran down the stairs.
Mrs. Frost says she followed and
saw another masked man at the foot
OF the stairway. Both fled toward a
small automobile parked across the
street, with engine going. In the car
were two others waiting for their con-
federates, and when the latter entered
the car it sped away. Two employees
on the garage floor pursued for a dis

Hines Defends Increase
In Railroad EMPLOYEES

PHILADELPHIA, June Walker
u. Hines, Director General of Rail
roads, in an address to the members
OF the Chamber Of Commerce here to-
day, said it was unjust to attribute
layity of supervision to railroad Off
cials throughout the country, as com
pared with the sort of supervision
which would characterize those sama
officials under private control. Various
public comments have been made upon
the fact that there were about 100000
more railroad employees in January.
1919, than in December, 1917, he said
Facts show, he added, that this in
crease was due to justiAable causes.
One was the establishment of the
eight-hour day and another the ex-
ceptional amount Of maintenance work
performed on roadways and structures 9
in january, 1919.
The present railroad deficit. Mr.
Hines said, IS due to higher wages and
cost Of materials, and to the fact that
the government is keeping down rates
rather than putting them up.
Mr.. Hines advocated the fixing Of
rates and that any surplus beyond
these rstes should 80 intA Improve

Inquiry Into u. S.

WASHINGTON, June 2o.-The task
of investigating the expenditures Of
the War Department since April 6,
1917, to the present time-which in
wolves an inquiry into all the depart
ment did in those two years-will be-
gin in earnest Monday and will con-
tinue indefinitely.
The speca!l committee Of fifteen met
to-day and laid down rules of proce-
dure which will be somewhat stricter
than in most Congressional investiga-
tions. No coaching of witnesses by
other witnesses or associates is to be
permitted, and persons who are to ap-
pear later on a given phase of the in
vestigation will not be allowed to hear
the testimony Of those who precede.
The first meetings, Chairman Will
lam J. Graham, Of Illinois, said to-day,
will be of the whole committee to get
a general grasp of the situation, which
will then be taken up by the five sub
committees. Nothing sensational is ex-
pected, except that the immensity of
expenditures in certain bureaus will
be brought out. When the sub-com-
mittees get to work the interesting
facts will come out, according 10 Mr..
Graham.
General Lord, for the director of
finance Of the War Department, is ex-
pected to be the first witness, and it
will be up to the War Department. to
have him followed by whatever officers
or civilians it may designate to meet
the twentyfour comprehensive ques-
tions the committee has submitted to
Secretary Baker. These questions are
SO far-reaching and have SO many
phases that it is apparent that the
War Department will be busy for
months in finding out and reporting
what it has been doing.
The committee wants to know what
are the total war expenditures and
their distribution. The committee also
calls on the War Department to tell
it all about the Council of National
Defence, to cite all the acts of Con-
gress before or during the war under
which expenditure were made, to de-
scribe in detail the military establish
ment and to tell when and how it was
changed by the administration of aux
iliary bodies and whether this was done
before or after the passage of the
Overman act.

McAuliffe testified that in their pro-

give the girl a good character.
Maoney testified he had approached
the girl on Broadway as she was enter
ing taxicab.
II asked the army officer if he knew
the girl and he said that he did not;
that they were going for a ride in
Central Park"
Detective Gunson, who figured in the
CohenKobin case, was to have been a
witness in this case, as he assisted Ma
loney in the arrest, pur he failed to
make his appearance. His absence irri-
tated the judge, who said he would
write to the Police Commissioner
about it.
Judge Blau, in pronouncing the girl
innocent, made the following state
ment:
"The crux of this case is that the
sole witness against this girl testiies
that the army officer mentioned sum
of $40, and that the girl. when ques
toned by the witness, said: Yes, that's
true
"Now, 1 say that it is inconceivable
that girl who had experienced what
this girl has at the hands of Officer

made that confession to him. I can
not conceive of any human mind acting
like that. | don't believe the officers
statement, and there is no corrobora-
tion by the prosecution. They fail to
bring in the army officer, and Detective
Gunson is not here either.
"There is great opportunity for
wrongdolng in the present system of
prosecution Of these cases. Young
women are absolutely dependent upon
alleged admissions, testified to by police
officers, and uncorroborated
"The system is damnable and in my
Judgment should be wiped off the stat
ute books. l shall do all in my power
to efface it.
II do not subscribe to the theory
that a girl who has been once con-
victed must be a criminal ever after.
believe in giving her the benefit Of
every possible doubt, and evidences of
good character such as have been pro-
duced in this case by the family and
the religious adviser of this girl con-
vince me that she is innocent"
Although it is not customary for the
prosecution in the Women's Court to
nave counsel, owing to the Importance
of these cases, due to the recent re-
versal of the Cohen Kobin case, Magis-
trate Blau asked Assistant District At
torney Harry E. Kastenbaum, who hap
pened to be in the courtroom. to assist
in the trial.
Miss Teresa Mccoy, a friend of Miss
Bonser, testified the young man who
was Miss Bonsers escort to the Gar.
den restaurant, Sidney Case, had been
a paymaster on British boat, the CITY
of London, and is at sea.

Wage Loss Now s2,OOO,OO0
Daily Conservative Estimate.

Washington, Dec 5.-More than
100000 workers are now completely
idle or employed but part time as a
result of the coal shortage, it was esti-
mated unofficially here today.
The estimate was described as Eek
tremely conservative" by J. D. A Nor
row, vice president of the National
Coal association. Exact figures are
impossible to obtain since formal re-
ports are not received from all sec
ministration reports show that in some
sections whole communities are hav-
ing enforced vacations.
The wage loss is estimated at more
than $2,000.000 daily. Loss to en-
ployers and business men is beyond all
estimates. Thousands of those af-
fected are women who depend for en-
ployment on mercantile establish
ments. Chicago. which yesterday went
on. y hour business day, is hardest
hit. More than 100000 persons there
are affected, it is believed.
Railroad union workers constitute
another class affected by the strike,
according to heads of the four big
railroad brotherhoods. Trainmen be-
gan to feel the strike thru curtailment
of train service a week after it began,
according to President w. G. Lee of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men.
At Gary, Ind, thousand of steel
workers were laid off because of the
enforced closing of big, furnaces.
Restrictions had been placed on
consumption of fuel thruout the coun-
try from New York City to the Sierra
Nevada range as the situation at the
mines showed virtually no improve
ment and the miners maintained their
attitude of hostility toward the prof
fered 4 per cent wage increase
Effective at 1901 Monday morning
the most sweeping reduction of rail-
road service in MISREPRESENTATION in
passenger service of one-third in
train miles" on all railroads diverg-
ing west, southwest and northwest
from Chicdgo-has been ordered. Re-
gional directors of the central, west
ern, southwestern and northwestern
regions estimated that that step alone
would save 900 tons of coal daily.
Other curtailments of railroad service
were being considered today. Addi
tional industries faced shutdoWns and
more drastic conservation rules for
cities that would bring them on a par
ity with Chicago and Kansas City were
in prospect. The strict supervision of
the use of fuel and power first or
dered at Kanstas City today was sur
passed at Chicago which went on a

force of 1he new restrictions was ex-
pected to be felt today after much
confusion yesterday. +--s7s&

fact that local unions in ths coal fields
have submitted to agitation and domi-

not disturbed the governor. He de-
clared that the state was able to meet
the situation and that the workers
were showing a wonderful spirit. In
