Five Children Weeps as
Mother Is Taken to Jail
Crowd Assails Detective Who
Arrests Her ON Charge of
Conducting Still

Five small children wept discon-
solately yesterday afternoon when they
were taken from their mother, Mrs.
Kate Kubes, thirtytwo years old, of is
Carlyle Street, by the police and left
with neighbors until their father
should returnhome. The mother was
taken to Jail by Detective R. Cridland,
of the Chief Inspectors staff, on
charges of conducting whisky still
and of manufacturing alcohol
The detective seized tengallon still
in the rooms of the Kubes, on the
third floor of the tenement. He re-
ported that Mrs, Kubes was operating
the still with seemingly skilled hands,
while her children played about the
kegs, jugs, bottles and barrels of
mash, which also were seized.
The raid excited crowd in the
neighborhood that stormed the stairs
of the tenement, and it was necessary
for the detectives to call reserves from
the Old Slip station. The crowd
criticised the detective for separating
the mother from her children. She was
locked up at Old Slip.

Banks Deny Borah Charge

New York banks, accused by Senator
Borah in Congress Monday of trying
to interest the United States govern
ment in a Liberian loan for their own
enormous gain, last night fatty denied
the charges in message to Mr.. Borah.
The Idaho Senator asserted that Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., the National City Bank
and j. P. Morgan & Co. had claims of
more than 81 100000 against Liberia;
that the new loan was being urged in
order to pay these claims; that the
claims had been bought up by the
bankers at 10 to 30 cents on the dol
lar, and that they are now being turned
in and taken care of by the. United
States government on the basis of dol
lar for dollar.
The banks named advised Senator
Borah that they have no knowledge Of
or interest in new loan for Liberia
and that the combined present claims
of the three institutions against
Liberia are composed of less than $4,000
bonds, for which they paid 80 per cent

Enrisght Lays
City's Traffic
Evils to State
Commissioners at Police Com
ference Asserts Ii Turns
Loose Applicants TO Drive
Cars Whether Fit or Not
He Wants License Power
Advocates $lO,5OO,OOO Fees
Collected Be Distributed
Among Cities for Traffic

Many of the traffic evils in this city
are due to faulty supervision by the
state, Police Commissioner Enright
told the members of the National Po-
lice Conference yesterday at it's ses-
sion at the Waldorf Astoria devoted
to Traffic"
The Commissioner charged the state
with being criminally negligent in its
failure to insure proper regulation of
automobile traffic, saying that after
collecting license fees it then turns
defective drivers and machines loose
on the streets after subjecting the
chauffeurs only to highly superficial
examination, without finding out
whether they have criminal records,
whether they are fit mentally or
whether the cars they apply to drive
are safe, or if they are stolen.
This is very large part of the
source Of the traffic evil" he asserted,
land if this work were given to the
police they would do the job properly
along with their other work. The
trouble is lack Of licensing by the
police All the state does is collect
the money, and it leaves the dirty
work to the police"
Commissioner Enright also advocated
that the fees collected by the state,
which amount to about $10,500,000, an
nually on automobiles licenses, should
be distributed pro rata among the
municipalities for the regulation and
improvement of traffic facilities, instead
Of being absorbed for state uses.
1t is planned to regulate the area
between Fourteenth Street and Fifty
ninth Street in such a manner that all
important up and down town traffic on
the avenues will move simultaneously
and that when it is halted all cross
town traffic will move together, it was
announced at the morning session by
Special Deputy Police Commissioner
john A. Harriss, who is in charge of
traffic for the New York Police Depart
ment, and who reviewed the general
experience Of this city in the matter
for the benefit of the delegates.
Europe's Traffic Problems
The French and English representa-
tives declared that outside of Paris
and London their countries have little
if any difficulties with traffic, but
Hakon Jorgensen, sub-director of police
ir Copenhagen, Denmark, said that the
great problem in Copenhagen was ere.
ated by the heavy bicycle traffic. Nc
fewer than 100000 bicycles day cross
one important street intersection in
that city, he said, and since they are
not identified in any way nor licensed
there is always great difficulty in To-
eating the ones responsible for the
minor accidents that occur.
Public opinion must be educated tc
regard the loss of human life by traf.
fic accidents as just as serious as any
other form of killing, instead of merely
as routine incident to be forgotten

Inches, of Detroit. Until that time
