Accused Inspector in Tender

\ at Assistant Prosecutor
VICE PROBE HAS BACKFlRE
BY the Associated Press

New York, March 26.--Further aC-
tion by the grand jury investigating
alleged vice grating by members of the
New York police department, was
awaited with keem expectancy today,
following a statement by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James Il. Smith last
night that an official higher than Third
Deputy Commissioner Alfred Drum
Porter, recently indicted would be in
dicted at an early date.
Mr.. Smiths assertion was made in
the course of au answer to charges
fled with Police Commissioner Enright
by Inspector Dominick Henry. com
mander of the Fourth. or "tendcrloin' y
district, TO the effect that Mr.. Smith
himself had sought protection for GER
tain disorderly resorts and through an
intermediary had offered to enter into
a partnership with the inspector in the
sale or protection TO gambling houses
and other disorderly resorts.
Characterizing the inspectors charges
as wholly false, Mr.. Smith declared
that they had been made at the sug :
gestion of "a higher police official
whose pet" he said, Henry was.
and asserted that the higher up

would be indicted. He said evidence
against Inspector Henry also had been
submitted TO the grand jury.
When he was reminied that tnere
were few police officials higher than
Deputy Commissioner Porter, Mr..
Smith said: ,.
II realize that fact. This statement
of Henry's pleases me very much. IL
is what I have been looking for, Ihis
will start the real big scandal.
He added that the police department
at present was more rotten and
had more crooks in it than It has
ever had under any of the city's ad-
ministrations." -, nj
Mr.. Smith was to confer with DIS
trict Attorney Swami today, with ref
erere to the situation created by IN =
spector Henry's charges. Mr.. Swami s
name was brought into the case py IN
snector Henry. who declared Mr.. smith
had claimed to have the district at

ter's ambition to become governor.

Allies Determined to
Keep Hapsburgs From
! The ThroneIn Austria

London, March 4.--Members of
the supreme allied council are de-
termined to adhere to the refusal to
allow the Hapsburgs restored in
either Austria or Hungary, it is
stated in conference circles. Rou-
manians feared the appointment of
Admiral Horthy a, Hungarian re-
gent means the return of the former
rulers OF that country.
Recognition of the soviet govern
ment in Russia has been discussed
but no definite conclusion'has b1en
reached. 1t is recognized all the
allies have an option of beginning
trade with soviet Russia if they
wish.
The council is believed to oppose
any plan to maintain a Turkish
armed force larger than 2S,OOO and
may insist that the army be con-
siderably less than this figure. Some
members are said to favor refusing
Iurkey,a standing army in any form
except gendarmerie under officers
appointed by the allies. Questions
relative to Turkey will come before
a special meeting of the league of
nations council today.

result of an act Of parliament at the
time OF the emergency. A
Find Recruiting Is Slovv.

Find Recruiting Is Slow.
The regular army! which is al
ready approaching its perwar limita-
ton, and soon will be below it. is
experiencing difficulty in getting
enough recruits. As to the terri
torial force there are already signs
of considerable reluctance on the
part OF the men who have served,
and therefore have given so much, to
again assume this responsibility,
particularly when there are so many
men who have come of military age
since the armistice.
AS is the case in the United States
when efforts are made TO improve
the national guard, pressure is al
ready being brought upon business
firms to pay the men while they are
absent undergoing training and not
to count these absences against their
annual vacation.
The total force provided for under
this scheme is not sufficient to inn
mediately and properly meet the
great increased imperial responsibili-
ties of the British empire in time OF
war. 1t is to be doubted If even the
forces contemplated can be raised by
voluntary enlistment under existing
conditions.
The continuance OF the voluntary
system carries with it the inevitable
injustice of service and sacrifices on
the part OF the patriotic, and not only
escape from both on the part of the
unpatriotic or selfish, but material
gain because of the better opportu-
mites due to lessened competition.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
PUBLISHING HOUSE
UPHELD BY COURT
Suit Brought to Determine Con
troll Of Publications Decided
Against Church Directors.

Boston, March 4.-(Chicago Trib-
une- Omaha Bee Leased Wire)-The
suit brought to determine the con-
troll OF the various Christian Science
publications. has been decided IN
favor Of the Christian Science Pub
lication society as against the con-
tention of the board of directors oi
mother church. The findings in the
case were made by master in chan.
Gerry to the supreme judicial court.
While the full report Is yet moi
made public and the board Of diree-
tors asked in vain to have it KEEP,
secret for a time. 1t is understood
upon reliable authority that it COW
ers these points:
/. That the Christian Science board
of directors have never been legally
and formally elected by their church
body.
2. That the bylaws of the church,
what is known as the manual among
the church members, have not been
wholly and completely adopted.
3. That the board of directors has
no arbitrary right OF supervision
over the whole Christian Science
movement, and that the effort to re-
move from office Lamont Rowlands,
one of the trustees of the Christian
Science Publishing sbciety, was
made in bad faith and is of no eff
feet.
4. That the attempt to remove
John V. Dittemore also was made in
bad faith, and that consequently he
still is and must remain member
OF the board OF directors.
S. That Mrs. Annie NJ. Knott, in1-
properly appointed in his place, is
not, and never has been director.
The suit is to determine the con-
troll of the various Christian Science
publications which circulate through
the world.
