Landlord Have I4iens

II Paul e. Evans, of the Evans Se-
curity Corporation, with offices at 15
and IL East FeTtieth Street, returns to
his nine-room apartment at 278 River
side Drive within tho next few days he
will meet new, though only tempo
rary, occupant. The stranger, who is
taking the best Of care of Mr. Evans's
furniture and works of arts valued from
$1,000 to $4,000, Ia keeper who was
placed in tho $3.50 month apartment
by Deputy Sheriff Joseph Lanman,
under authority of Supreme Court at
tachment against the property Of Mr..
Evaus.
Just now Mr.. Evans is keeping an
engagement with the authrities OF Troy,
n. X, having been arrested in his Office
here few days ago on q warrant
issued in that city on a complaint by
Mrs. Mary A. Witham, who said Mr..
Evans appropriated to his own use cer-
tain shares OF stock belonging to her
which had value Of $4,000.
The attachment against the brokers'
property here was obtained by Eliza
beth III. Loughborough, who is suing
Mr.. Evans to recover $2,5S3, which she
charges she intrusted TO him for In
vestrnent Mrs. Loughborough says the
defendant importuned her to invest
through him and showed her an alleged
list of his customers, which included
several members of the Blddle family
Of Philadelphia. Evans, it 10 alleged
by the plaintiff, told her he was broker
for many influential and wealthy
persons. All these statements, under
which she was induced to hand her
checks over the defendant, were
false Mrs. Loughborough says. She
also said that one Of her checks was
eashed by the brokers' tailor or credited
70 his account for clothes, while an
ether was turned over by the de-
fendant to his lawyer.
The Donovan estate, owner of the
house at 276 Riverside Drive, where
the broker has his apartment. has
notified the Sheriff that 1t has a lien
OF 5000 against all of Mr.. Evans's
furnishings, the 5000 representing two
months rent which he owes.
Unless Mr.. Evans returns soon and
puts up bond to release his effects
from the grasp Of the Sheriff, and thus
allows that officials keeper to return
to his own more humble home, the
contents of the apartment will be sold
and the proceeds held to satisfy any
judgment which Mrs. Loughborough
might get, and also perhaps the claim
for rent.

Germans Try to Bind
u. S. Surgeons to Oath
Refuse Permission to View
Clinic Without Promise TO
Aid Pruasisns Here

Six American surgeons who had been
visiting clinics in various parts of Eu-
rope arrived here yesterday from Ham
burg on the Lamport G. Holt liner
Vandyck, which made the trip for the
Royal Mail Line. They attended oper-
ations performed by famous surgeons
in Rome, London, Paris and Berne, and
had been received with unusual cor
diality. In Germany, however, they
said they were s1ighted.
In Munich they were prepared to OBJ
serve an operation to be performed by
DR.. g. Swarbock, surgeon of high
repute, but before being led into the
operating room they were requested to
sign an agreement binding them on
their return to America to use their
influence to have German physicians
and surgeons in America restored to the
good standing they enjoyed before
America entered the war.
Many German surgeons and physicians
in America, they said, had been ex-
PEELED from American medical societies
The Americans refused to sign the
paper and Immediately withdrew from
the hospital
The returning doctors were DR.. W.
r. Ballard, Bay City, Mich; DR.. E. r.
Bush, GAINESVILLE, Ohio; DR.. g. J. Carr,
Lansing, Mich; DR.. H. H. Hines, Gin
cinnati; DR.. Alexander Mckenzie, Port
