600 belonging to Robert Schalken-

bach to invest this sum as a par

he was then organizing to raise capi-
tai needed for the purchase of a de-
sirable piece of property in the con-
gested part of the lower East Side.
Lustgarten. 1t is charged, gave as
surance that if $4,000 were raised
between himself and four others for
the purpose of swinging this deal
the property could be made to bring
100 per cent return in a year.
Schalenbach, according to the in
dictment, gave Lustgarten a check
Tor $4,000 made out to the latter's
order on the above date. This checl,

Ten Are Shot During
Disorders in Berlin
By associated Press.

Berlin, Tuesday, July 22.-Ten
persons were shot during disorders
which attended the breaking UP of
a majority Socialist meeting by
Communists and Spartacans here
yesterday. Those attending the
meeting, which was held in the
Trades Union building, attempted to
lynch the man who fired the shots,
but he was saved by hospital help
ers who were in the building.
Several majority Socialist meet
ings held late Yesterday did not de-
velop as smoothly and quietly as
they began. Communists and Spar
tacans by n prearranged plan smug-
gled fellow radicals into halls where
the majority Socialists were congre-
gated and there broke up the meet
ings by cat calls and other noises
and even by violence.
At countless meetings the major
ity Socialist speakers gave up at
tempting to speak after half an hour
of shouting and in the Trades I'm
ion building, where the biggest
meeting was held, chairs, beer bot
ties, glasses and even tables were
flung about in successful attempt
to break up the gathering.
The Berlin press is indignant at
the uproar. The Vorwaerts heads

the People-Civil War" The Peo-
pies Gazette calls the day, THE

PROFITEERSI
TURKEY OUTDONE
BY AMERICANS
Howard Heinz Tells How Con-
stantinople Natives Were
Starving
Rn Associated Press.

New York, July 23.-How hard
headed American business methods
outwitted cunning Turkish food
profiteers who were rapidly starving
the natives of Constantinople and
other large cities is described in q
statement issued by Howard Heinz,
of Pittsburgh, former food admin
istrator of Pennsylvania, and until
recently representative of the Ameri-
can Relief Administration in south
ern Europe and Asia Minor.
Mr.. Heinz said bread was selling
in Constantinople for 6S cents a loaf
when he arrived there with large
quantities of American flour at his
disposal. One week later he said the
natives could buy good bread for
approximately 20 cents a loaf. Prof
iteers were called together and off,
cred American flour providing they
would agree not to extract more
than $1.25 profit on hundred
pounds.
But it was soon discovered that
most of the bread, went to street
peddlers, who charged the old price,
while the shops were always sold
out until law was passed making
it illegal to sell bread on the streets.
The protiteers managed to call a
strike in the -four mills, hoping the
Turkish government would be forced
to buy the American flour thereby
decreasing the supply.
But they forgot America had an
unlimited supply, Mr.. Heinz con-
tinued. When ship after ship con-
tinued to arrive with great cargoes,
the greedy profiteers saw themselves
hopelessly beaten, and were glad to
accept the original offer.

New York, July 23.-Another ver-
sion of how the American Army
was aided by the two mysterious
German prisoners of war who ar
rived here Monday from France
and who now are being held at Ho-
boken pending receipt of orders
from Washington to send them to
the national capital, was obtained
last night from a noncommissioned
officer, formerly attached to the in
telligence branch of the field army
staff.
According to this "noncom," the
two prisoners, who were brought
here under the names of Aired
Scholz and Alvin Grothe, received a
sum of money from the United
States government and were housed
and fed with the enlisted men at
field headquarters. Wearing Ger
man uniforms, they used to mingle
with prisoners captured by the
Americans awaiting transportation
to the rear and after conversing
with these prisoners were able to
inform American officers whether
information obtained from them un-
der examination was correct.

wished his name withheld, said he

PARK OVER TO CITY
[Continucd from First Page. !

ing the executors visited the park
and school site shortly before noon
and then decided upon the confer
ence with the officials representing
city council. 1t was expected that
a definite plan for development of
the park would be decided upon at
the meeting this afternoon, after
which Mayor Keister and Commits
sioner Gross will report to council.
1t is understood that the city will
determine definitely whether the
proposed plan to provide lake in
Italian Park will be possible, either
by natural water supply or with
city water. The estate representa-
tives said they would not expect the
city to maintain a lake if the cost
would be prohibitive.
The question of widening city
streets through the Fourteenth ward
and extending North Third street
along the bluff just east of italian
Park was discussed also. 1t is be-
lieved that members of city council
will take early action making Green
street 120 feet in width as a ma
jority of the commissioners favor
this plan. North Sixth street Is to
be widened also If the pan of de-
velopment favored by the Planning
Commission is officially approved by
council.

NEGROESKILL2
MORE WHITES AND
SLASH A THIRD
Total Dead n Washington
Race War Seven; Eleven
Fatally Wounded

Washington, July %. Race
hatred in the national capital, en-
gendered by attacks on white women
by negroes and famed by three
successive nights of rioting found
expression again last night in clashes
between whites and blacks. A home
defense guard was shot and killed,
a second guard fatally wounded and
another white man slashed severely
by a razor welded by negro. All
of the negro assailants escaped.
The outbreaks, however, were
sporadic and confined to a single
vicinity near Eighth and NJ streets,
the center of the black district of
the northwest section. This was
due, in the opinion of the authorities,
to the extraordinary precautions
taken to prevent formation of mobs
and to a rain which began early
in the evening.
Approximately 1900 troops-cav-
airy, infantry, marines and sailors
-patrolled the streets and awaited
in reserve for possible outbreaks,
supplem enting regular and volun-
teer police.
Total of Seven Dead
Total casualties resulting from
the rioting, which began Saturday
night lis now seven persons dead,
eleven believed to be fatally wound
ed and scores injured, more or less
seriously.
The only fatal outbreak occurring
last night up to midnight resulted
from the stopping of negro by
Isaac Halbfinger, a home defense
guard. Halbfnger attempted to
search the black, who drew a gun
from his pocket and shot the guard
through the heart. Another home
guard, like Halbfnger armed only
with a riot stick ran to his COM
panions assistance and also was
shot. He died later. The negro
escaped.
Two negroes with a razor set upon
a white man in the northwest sec
ton of the city as he was leaving
his home and before he could es-
cape slashed him severely.
Negroes in several parts of the
city were reported to have fired on
passing whites but in no other in
stances was any one killed or in
jured.

Mysterious War Prisoners Showed American Officers That
Captured German Leaders Had Lied to Them

lied they would be shot, though we
could not carry out our threat.
In this case the major was haul
ed up out of bed and taken before
American officers. Some German
priVates were led into the same
room. Then after the major had
been accused of lying, his insignia
OF rank was stripped from his uni
form while the privates looked on
and he was sent to the cage for en-
listed men for the night. The next
day he was detailed, like an enlist
ed man, for the dirtiest jobs around
headquarters.
We had to be careful that
ScholZ's activities should not be dis
covered by the Germans. In one in
stance. we had man in the cages,
and the nature of his work was dis
covered by the other prisoners.
They killed him before daylight
with their bare hands. We never
left ScholZ in cage after dark.
Fear For Lives
81 have no idea of what either
prisoner is going to do in thus
country now. | do know they are
desperately afraid of being killed by
German secret service agents or by
other Germans here. Scholz time
and time again expressed fear
that he would not live long after
peace"
The "noncom" said it was during
the St NGihiel drive that Scholz, who
claimed to have been a student at
Heidelberg, first aided in an Ameri-
can offensive.
The American said he did not
think Sholz was a Socialist but that
he was bitter against the Kaiser and
the officers in the German Army.
1t was this bitterness against some
sort of ill-treatment received in the
ranks that induced him to accept
the American offer. he said.

PRINCE OF WALES
DONS OVERALLS
AT WELSH MINE
Children Strew Flowers in
Path of the
Prince

London July 23.-Children strewed
with flowers the path of the Prince
of Wales and bombarded his auto
mobile with roses when he visited re-
Gently the coal mining regions Of
South Wales and went down into a
mine. The Prince scored with the
coal miners of Rhondda Valley by
telling them that 1t was not his fault
that 1t was his first visit and that his
absence was due to the war.
On his way to the mine he sur
prised one woman by asking to see
her house and garden. He stopped
his car when another woman held
up her baby to give him rose.
Puts on OveraIIs
Arriving at Cwymmer pit, the
Prince donned the. cap and overalls
of a miner, and gratefully accepted
from the foreman a silver safety
lamp, the gift of the management.
Miners and their families crow led
around him, and cheered while the
Prince waited for the cage to rise
from the depths of the shaft.
Suddenly there was heard the
sound of singing. apparently from
the bowels of the earth. The cage
came in view bringing a small party
of miners. black with coal dust.
straight from the toll of the pit and
singing a Welsh anthem
When tn singing stopped the
Prince and his officials guides then
stepped into the cage and, swiftly
but very carefully, were lowered
into the mine.
Taken Through Mines
At the bottom OF the shaft some one
had written on n bank timber with
white chalk, Welcome to our soldier
Prince" The Prince was manifestly
pleased and asking for chalk wrote
beside 1t Thank you," and signed it
Edward p"
Then they took him through the
mines. showed him the ventilation
system which guards the lives of the
hundreds of men and boys while they
work, showed him the working
faces" where miners were digging
coal, and explained to him some of
the difficulties attending the under
ground life of the toilers.
He insisted on trying 1t himself,
and taking the pick handed to him
by grimy old miner, struck IA few
vigorous blows. Later, while thank
ing the people for his reception, he
said he could appreciate the strenuous
character of miners work.
