ABSOLVES FIGHTERS
FROM CRIME BLAME
A. II. Hart, Finger Print
Chief, Issues Report.

Alfred A. Hart, supervisor of finger
print records, in filing his 1918 report
with Chief Magistrate McAdoo yester-
day. said the pronounced increase in
crime since the armistice has not been
due to discharged soldiers and sailors.
The cause lies with the closing of NUM-
tons and other war plants. he said.
The report shows decrease of 4S per
cent. in male cases and a drop OF 81 per
cent. in female cases finger printed for
the entire year. In disorderly conduct
cases there was a decrease OF rs per
cent. male and 81 per cent, women. An
increase OF 16 per cent in pickpockets
and an So per cent. increase in degener-
Gcy are shown. Intoxication continued
normal.
1.-THE reduction in the mems cases
was probably due to the work or fight
rule which drove the idlers into some
occupation necessary to the Govern
ment." says the report.
1.-The conditions now having changed
both the demand and the higher. wages
for labor have ceased" II adds. THE
closing down of munitions plants re-
leased the fellows who would not fight,
and the result is an increase of Of
lenders"
There are over $4,000 finger print
records In the various city courts. Dur
ing the year fifty persons were identi-
fed and several police ''mysteries'' were
solved.

WADSWORH SEES
CHILL IN LEAGUE
New York Senator Says Gen.
eral Demand for Monroe
Doctrine Is Made.
TO FIGHT RATIFICATION
Secretary Baker Declares Rank
and File Of Soldiers Are in
Favor of Covenant,
Special Despatch 20 TIE sur.


WASHINGTON, April 5.-Senator Wads-
worth IN. ~ declared tonight he IL
confident sentiment throughout the coun-
try is growing against the present cove
nant for a League Of Nations. The Sen
ator recently made q trip through New
York speaking on the league and was In
Washington for few hours on his way
to the Southwest on personal affairs.
Sentiment Is increasing in opposition
to the League OF Nations as now pro-
posed" said Senator wadsworth. The
opposition Is directed to two particular
points-the very extensive powers given
the Executive Council, with the fact that
no code of law provides a guide for the
future, and against section 10, providing
for the maintenance e the status quo OF
the world. 1t Is conceded that the Mon
roe Doctrine Is not reserved as the cove
nant now stands. There is very wide
spread insistence that n provision spe-
cifcally reserving the Monroe Doctrine
be inserted.
IN my Judgment the Senate will not
ratify peace treaty which does not re-
SCI We the Monroe Doctrine nor one which
does not absolve the United States from
protecting all the other nations Of the
earth. The people are dissatlshed with
the delays at Paris and the friction that
Is arising. and the spread of Bolshevism
and the prospect that the Allies will have
no orderly and responsible Government
to mako peace with. The American peo-
pie hope peace will be settled as soon az
possible 30 that Europe can 20 back and
live a normal life. 1t Is a pity We did
not write the terms OF peace to be i'm
posed on Germany before now"
Newton d. Baker, Secretary Of War,
was put on record tonight by the
League to Enforce Peace as being in
favor OF the covenant and as declaring
that the rank and file OF the American
soldiers were for II.
1.-The men who fought for American
ideals in the world war know best the
tragedy which has laid waste the fair
est civilization Of the Old World. They
have seen the wooden crosses which
stretch in unbroken lines from the Eng
lish Channel to Switzerland they have
seen the refugee populations. the de-
vastated homes the orphaned children.
the widowed women. Throughout all
their fighting they felt that their sacri-
flee was being made to put an end to
that sort Of tragedy. AS I have talked
with the soldiers both abroad and at
homo / found them not disposed to dis
cuss abstract questions, but burning with
hope that America can lead the world
into a League Of Nations formed for
the purpose Of substituting right and
justice for force in international con-
troversies."
Mr.. Baker quoted at length an edi-
tortal appearing in Stars ard Stripes,
the newspaper published by the A. E. F.,

CREDITOR CLIENTS
ACCUSE BROKERS
Tell Swami Toole, Henry & Co.
Accepted Business When
InsOlvent.

Charging that the stock brokerage
firm of Toole. Henry & Co. 100 Broadway,
solicited business when about to become
insolvent and accepting money for stocks
which the firm knew 1t could not deliver.
a dozen or more OF its customers have
complained to District Attorney Swami
and asked him to investigate.
The concern went into the hands OF a
receiver April 2. when It's liabilities were
said to have been s9So.ooo and its assets
100000. Edward II. Childs, SO Wall
street. was appointed receiver by Judge
Hand of the Federal Court.
Philip s. Samuels. an attorney rep
resentlng Mrs. Sophia NJ Wrenn. one
of the complainants, visited the District
Attorneys Office yesterday and told Ed
ward S. Brogan, Assistant District At
torney. who has been assigned to the
investigation, that Mrs. Wrenn was in
duced to transfer an account Of $4,000
from another brokerage concern TO Toole,
Henry & Co. after the firm knew II was
insolvent
representing NJ. Stern. 253 West 11eth
street. another complainant, Bernard
Sander informed Mr.. Brogan that the
firm owed Mr.. Stern $4,000 in ac-
cumulated profits. Mr.. Sander alleged
further that Toole, Henry q Co. had ac-
cepted orders for stock purchases fifteen
minutes before the petition for involun-
tary bankruptcy was filed by the cred
itors.
According to John J. McGovern, one
of the FIRMS members, who was ques-
toned yesterday by Mr.. Brogan. special
efforts are being made to save the firm
by several of its largest creditors who,
because OF the high repute and standing
OF Douglas Henry. are willing to see
1t through its present difficulties. Mr..
Henry. one of the heads of the concern.
has been a member of the Stock Ex-
change thirty-seven years. Mr.. Nc
Govern claims that creditors who are
owed half a million dollars are working
in perfect harmony with members OF the
firm in an effort to rehabllitate it.
Mr.. Brogan said yesterday that the
facts probably will be laid before the
Grand Jury. His investigation is to be
completed early this week

SEES LEAGUE VITAL
TO US. LEADERSHIP
Assistant Secretary Of Treas
ury Rowe Says South Ameri-
ca Expects Ratification.
GAGE OF UNsELFISHNESS
Warns Failure to Ratify
Would Arouse Distrust Of
Our Motives Anew.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-Failure of
the United States to ratify the League
of Nations covenant would cause this
country to lose the leadership of the
Western Hemisphere, L. s. Rowe, As
slstant Secretary OF the Treasury. de-
clared to-day in an address at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
THE fact that tho United States en-
tered the European war free from all
selfish purposes has had q profound ef-
feet on Latin American peoples DR..
Rowe said. They have regarded IT as
demonstration of the idealism OF the
American people and of their willingness
TO make every sacrirce in furtherance
Of those ideals
"The United States therefore has en-
tered into the negotiations at Paris at
time when she is enjoying the conf
dence of the nations of this continent
to degree which has not existed since
the PRONUNCIATION OF the Monroe Doc
trine. Upon our national attitude to-
ward the settlement will depend In large
measure whether this growing feeling Of
confidence shall be strengthened or
whether It will be thrown back to the
old feeling Of aloofness and distrust.
1T IN noteworthy fact and one
carrying peculiar significance that with
out exception the people of Central and
South America are eager to Join the
league. and we must not fiatter ourselves
that they will blindly follow the leader
ship OF the United States in case our
decision Is adverse to the league. In
fact, our failure to ratify the covenant
would strengthen the suspicion which
has SO long prevailed in many sections
OF Central and South America that not
withstanding the assurances of Presi-
dents and Secretaries of State there
exists in the minds of self-seeking
groups in the United States a plan to
use the Monroe Doctrine as a means to
control the destinies and influence the
policies of Latin America.
I'm short, II the United States fails
to support the idea Of a League of Ma
tons she will thereby not only indulge
in fruiuess attempt to isolate herself
from Europe but will also lose her posi-
ton of leadership. The republics Of
Latin America show no hesitancy in
Joining with the countries of Europe
for the maintenance of world peace.
I'VE would therefore find ourselves in
the position Of having entered a great
world conflict Of European origin and
Of far reaching European consequences,
of having. because of our unselfsh pur-
pose, been able to lead the world to-
ward settlement which gave promise
OF durable peace and of refusing at
the last moment to assume the RESPONSE
bilities and of performing the mission
which that position Of leadership i'm
posed"
