charged in the trial to-day before
Supreme Court Justice j. Addison
Young that X-ray photographs osten-
slbly indicating Miss E'ry's injury had
been doctored.
MISS F'rye's contention is that when
she was run down by the school
masters automobile at Tarrvtown in
lSzo her pelvic bone was fractured.
making her cripple for life The x
ray pictures were introduced to show
the condition of the bone. To offset this
the defense introduced motion pictures,
ostensibly of Miss Frye, taken last
August by persons employed by the
defense, showing her running and
waking without crutches or other
artificial aid: To-day was the tenth
OF the hearing, which has been at
tended by hundreds of women from
Manhattan and suburban towns.
L. j. O'Neill, counsel for Miss FRYE,
scored in to-day's session when he
called as his first witness DR.. Leon T.
lie Wald, X-ray expert. who on the
courts order had made new plates
showing the condition of the pelyic
bone in dispute. The new plates were
introduced in evidence and DR.. Le-
Wald swore they showed that there
had been two distinct fractures of the
bone, which had Knitted imperfectly.
The X-ray bone pictures were dis
played to the jury by means ofa.ya

Der was permitted to make his in
dlvidual study of the alleged injury.
The plates were made at the studio
laboratory Of DIR. Byron C. Darling, 104
East Fortieth Street, who was in court
DR.. Darling, who appeared as a wit
ness, testified that Miss Frye has
deformed pelvis as result Of the ac-
cident and that one effect will be per-
manent impairment of her natural
walking gait. The witness said Miss
Frye would be able to stand and to
walk, but not in her natural manner.
!. Since the trial began, despite testi-
money of several witnesses that they
had seen Miss Frye running up and
down stairs and skipping in Prospect
Park, Brooklyn, the young woman has
been carried into court every time she
appeared.
When questioned in detail by Justice
Young, DR.. Darling made the further
assertion that Miss Frye might be able
to walk short distances but that she
would never again be able to walk any
considerable distance.

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureaw
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-All pro-
posals for augmenting the prohibition
enforcement forces with vigilance" or
other citizen committees are to be
frowned upon by the Treasury Depart
ment. This was shown to-day when
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair
stepped upon Prohibition Commits
sloner Haynes's announcement yester-
day thst he had approved in detail the
plan OF S. S. Kresge, Detroit business
man, for organizing dry law vigilance
committees of business and profess
sional men throughout the country.
Mr.. Haynes's acceptance of the pro-
posal OF Mr.. Kresge, who had offered
to finance the scheme, was made dur
ing the absence from Washington of
his superior. 1t embodied, among other
things, system whereby members of
the so-called vigilance committees
would receive official badges and linn
tied authority by the Prohibition Com
missioner.
The first move of Commissioner Blair
upon his return to-day was to block
the Prohibition Commissioner. His ac-
tion undoubtedly has widened the al
ready existing breach between the two
officials.
Commissioner Blair declared forcibly
that the Bureau of Internal Revenue
cannot permit the organization of Off
csally encouraged "spy" committees.
Ihe functions OF the bureau are
not to educate or spread propaganda,
but to enforce the law as it stands. .
said he. "No outside agencies or or
carnations will be permitted to link
themselves officially with the bureau in
