ond street. Seventh to Fourt avenues.
Twenty-Five additional detectives
have been put on duty here. Scores Of

rush hours. They will be on. the look
out for criminals and suspicious char
acters; pick-pockeets, bandits and
burglars will be arrested on sight.

Things are always on the move in
New York! The indications are that
the hotel center of the city has shift
ed from 42nd street to Columbus Cir
Gle, at seth street. Only few hotel
men recognized the movement and the
average New Yorker knew nothing
about it until he recently discovered
that the Circle will have 5000 more
hotel rooms within year or So The
Hotel wellington is adding 800; the
Grenoble, which will be named The
Marine, will have 700 more; and the
Woodward will have 600, and the first
half Of the new Hotel Commonwealth
will be opened in June, 1923, with 1900
rooms. Other hotels in the Circle dis
trict plan additions, so that the total
will be we'll over 5000 rooms. The
first sign that the hotel center was
shifting was when the Manhattan and
Knickerbocker, on And street, were
turned into Office buildings. Of the
new accommodations the Hotel Com
monwealth with its total Of $500
rooms, will be the greatest and be-
cause Of the cooperative nature Of
the enterprise, the most interesting.
In this new heart of New York" 1t
will be accessible to everything that
keeps this city the most interesting
place in the world, no matter how
much 1t changes.

LOSE
IN APPEAL TO COURTS
Decision Limits Right of
Union to Strike.

Justice Whitaker of the Supreme
Court handed down a decision yesterday
uphoding the constitutionality OF the
amendment to the Donnelly Antitrust
Act, which forbids the Photo -Engravers'
Union or any other labor union to enter
into combination to fix or control
prices. The decision was a part of an
injunction restraining the Photo-En-
growers Union No. l from striking
against the Standard Engraving Com
pany, Inc.
Justice Whitaker's decision Is the
first judicial ruling on the act as
amended at the recent session of the
Legislature, and according to Charles
A. Brodek Of 2 Rector street, attorney
for the engraving firm, gives a very
broad Interpretation OF the amendment
The decision does not withhold the right
to strike for legal objects, but holds
that the men cannot combine to compel
their employers to fix whatever prices
they might decide upon.
In its petition for an injunction the
Standard Engraving Company alleged
that the union had threatened to strike
because the company proposed to make
reductions i'm the prices of it's products
to consumers. thus necessitating a re-
duction in the wage scale of the men
employed. The Justice held that such a
strike would be illegal, because its OBJ
ject is to compel an employer to violate
law.

Treasurer Refused to Let Bal

Clerks Say.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 24.-John S.
Fisher, State Banking Commissioner, ar
rived here late to-day to take charge of
the affairs of the Agricultural Trust
Company. closed yesterday by his order.
State examiners, who spent the day In
going over the institutions records, an
nounced 1t would require about two
weeks to complete their investigation.
There was no way of~telling at this
time. they said, the amount of the short
age due to the alleged defalcations of
its treasurer, Charles d. Zel1 who Is
held in $4,000 bail on charges of en-
bezzlement and larceny. A pool of $780,
600 has been raised by the directors to
cover the shortage. Doubt was expressed
by some of the banks officials whether
this amount would be sufficient
Clerks stationed in front of the inst-
tuition continued throughout the day to
gather the pass books and receipts from
depositors, who number more than 5000.
1t was learned tonight that the clerks
have been unable to Strike a balance"
for months. and that they were not
allowed to balance their books unless
Mr.. Zell was present.
State bank examiners said that Zells
method of speculation consisted of a
system Of appropriating bonds and secur-
tiles by means of destroying records.
They declared that sos savings deposits
OF employees in one local industrial
plant alone have disappeared. Accord
ing to these officials the stubs of receipts
given in exchange for bonds to be de-
posted were destroyed and the secur-
ties appropriated before they were
placed in the safety deposit vault
Examiners were told by clerks In the
bank that patrons coming to the insti-
tuition to clip coupons on Liberty bonds
often were unable to find the securities
An appeal to Mr.. Zell. the clerks said,
would bring the reply. "Oh. that's all
right; just tell them we can't find the
bonds now" In number of instances
Zel was said to have given his personal
check to cover the amount due the pat
ron on his coupon
