Princeton Man Tells
Story of Beating
In Election Fight
Challengers at Polls Said
To Have Been Attacked
by Hoodlums and Abused
by Jersey City Police

Ralph Gilmore Williamson, one Of
six Princeton students who assert they
were attacked and beaten by hoodlums
and intimidated by uniformed police
men when they tried to act as chal-
lengers in the November election at
the Pine Street School, near Communi-
paw Avenue, in Jersey City, told a
graphic story of his adventures on
election night before the Mackay Joint
Investigating Committee of the New
Jersey Legislature at its opening ses-
sion in the City Hall, Hoboken, yes
terday
Williamson still bore the scars of an
encounter in a saloon from which he
and his companions had tried to tele-
phone to the credentials committee,
during which knives, glasses, plates
and cuspidors were thrown at them by
the gang that tried to prevent their
using the telephone, he said.
Williamson's companions were Will
liam E. Morgan jr., Of Minneapolis;
William Burr Sniveley, Of Wainsboro,
Pa; Thomas K. Drummond, of 214
West Seventy-frst Street, New York;
James Alexander Ross, Of Bro oklyn,
and Charles Frazer, of New York
The trouble began when the students
took their credentials to the voting
botths in the Pine Street School, Will
Hanson told the committee. He said
he and his companions were thrown
out and ordered to keep 100 feet from
the booths. Officials of the polling
place told them their credentials were
no good because they had not been

Conboy Asks
Masons' Supply
Men Be Freed
Declares Law to Prohibit
Combines i'm Restraint
Of Trade, ON Which IS
We're Indicted, Invalid
Prosecutor Sees Menace
Says the Contention Would
Let Down All Bars to
Commodity Monopolies

Martin Conboy, Of counsel for the
eighty-fve members Of the Association
Of Dealers in Masons' Building Mate
rails indicted for alleged violations Of
the Donnelly antitrust law, yesterday
asked Justice McAvoy to dismiss the
charges, on the ground that the pro-
visions Of the law upon which the in
dictment is based are unconstitutional.
The members Of the association are
charged with having operated COM
bination in restraint Of trade. Conboy
insisted that the state laws were dis
criminatory, in that they permitted
combinations among farmers and deal
ers in dairy products, but prohibited
combinations Of dealers in other COM
modities. This, he asserted, was class
legislation.
William A. De Ford. Special Deputy
Attorney General, prosecuting this
case, regarded the question raised as
serious one. He pointed out to the
court that if Conboy's challenge is sus-
tanned all prohibition on monopolies
will be wiped away and there will be
nothing left on the statute books to
prevent combinations in any COM
modify.
Conboy was instructed to file briefs
on the subject Monday, to which De
Ford will reply on the following Fri
day
Conboy also asked that the indict-
ments be dismissed on the ground that
the evidence was presented to the grand
jury by person unautho rized at the
time to do so. He also made motion
to be permitted to inspect the grand
jury minutes and requested the return
of certain documents and records
seized by the Lockwood committee
which are being used as evidence by
the prosecution. A request for in
spection Of the grand jury minutes
also WAS made by Don Carlos Buell.,
attorney for some of the accused. De-
clsion on these points was reserved.
The number Of individuals now in
cluded in the indictment was reduced
by three yesterday, when Special
Deputy Attorney General De Ford rec
commended the dismissal of the charges
against three men. These were James
A. Heaney, Alonzo Rose, deceased, and
William j. Peck. Peck, it appears, was
a member Of a firm two years ago
which had subscribed to the associa-
ton. He retired from this firm, which
went under new management two years
prior to the filing of the present
charges, and SO under the law could
not be included among the accused.
Testimony in the trial of John T.
Hettrick and six other defendants of
the master plumbers ring was taken
only in the morning yesterday. The
trial continues to-day.

Allies Make Over
Turkish Pact and
Cut Greek Gains
British to Hold Chenak, on
Straits, for Naval Station,
With Chance of Setting
Up a Second Gibraltar
From The Tribuae's European Bureau

SOpyTlXnCs ISIl, new ] Ork lr1bune Inc.
LONDON, March 10.-The Treaty of
Sevres, between the Allies and Turkey,
was slashed beyond recognition in the
plan adopted by the Supreme Council
this morning to dispose of the Near
East question.
While Premier BRAND of France and
Count Sforza, Italian Foreign Minister,
were completing their deal this morn
ing with the Turkish delegations from
Constantinople and Angora, Premier
Lloyd George was trying to satisfy the
angry Greeks. The British accepted the
Franco-ltalian settlement in the main,
but Lloyd George and Earl Curzon
British Foreign Minister, succeeded in
getting a lot of concessions for the
Greeks. Under the settlement plan that
will be presented to the Turkish and
Greek delegations, Saturday, the Greeks
have lost much Of what they would
have had under the Sevres document
The disputed provinces, which under
the Sevres pact would have gone to
Greece, are disposed of by the new
plan thus:
Thracc will be placed under inter
national control
Smyrna will be autonomous under
Turkish sovereignty. The Turkish flag
will fly from the city hall, but a Greek
garrison will be posted in the city.
The vilayet will be run under sort
of joint control. The Governor will
be d Christian, probably selected by
the league of nations.
Constantinople, under the new plan,
will remain in the hands of the Turks,
who also will retain large share of
the financial and military control of the
city. The Turks, however, will not con-
troll the straits. The Greeks will
occupy Gallpoli one one side, while the
British hold Chenak, on the Anatolian
side. The British may make of it a
second Gibraltar, for it will become a
British naval station and garrison
town, with perhaps a Turkish governor

Protection of Public
Would Stop Wash Sales
Wants Committee of Ten
to Investigate; Reputable
Bond Houses Back Move
From a STAFF Corrsspomdsnt

ALBANY, March 10.--LeHslativo In
vestigation of the bucket shops and
such Wall Street houses as conduct
wash sales, with view to imprisoning
the guilty, and drafting legislation to
safeguard the investing public. is pro-
vided in resolution introduced to-
day by Senator Fred B. Pitcher, chair
man Of the Senate Committee on
Banks.
The proposed investigation, which
has the backing Of reputable Stock Ex-
change houses and banking institutions,
is supported by the legislative leaders
and within very few weeks, it Is pre-
dcted, the inquiry into wash sales, by
which crooked stock manipulstors are
made millionaires over night at the ex-
pense Of the public, will be investigated
by the Legislature.
Senator Pitcher, in a speech explain
sought to stop "the unlawful practices
Of what appeared to be a well-organ-
lied band of financial highwaymen."
These practices. he said, did more to
prevent return of normal conditions
in the Industrial world than any other
cause.
Victims File Complaints
Hundreds of complaints against
these manipulators have been received
by members of the Legislature from
victims who have urged legislative in
vestigation. Similar complaints have
been sent by high-class brokerage
houses
"This resolution" said Senator
Pitcher, "is not inspired by unfortu-
nate experience of my own nor by any
desire on my part to serve upon an
investigation committee. l have not
been stung."
"If appeals that are continually being
made by individuals and by interests Of
the highest standing are to be regarded
as at all worthy Of consideration, day
after day there are sold. or pretended
to be sold, in the exchanges of this
state and upon the curbs, thousands Of
shares of the highest financial stand
ing, when, in fact, those shares pre-
tended to be sold have no existence
whatever. This disturbs the whole
financial world.
"It disturbs the banking, 1t dssturbs
the industrial and business concerns to
whom loans have been made on collat-
cral. 1t continually gives apprehen-
sion, or ground for the apprehension
and the fear that loans which are Sc
cured by collateral are becoming poorly
secured, when in fact there is abso-
lutely no excuse or reason other than
the raids made upon these securities by
these conspirators and in face of con-
ditions which should enhance rather
than impair the value of securities so
deposited as collateral"
Bill Carries $4,000

committee of ten legislators, five SEN
ators and an equal number of Assem-
blymen, was referred to the Finance
