Tales Of quick and fabulous pro-
fits induced the women to dispose of
securities they held and put their
cash equivalent in Lindeys hands.
Mr.. Murphy said. Lindsey's favoEite
story. he declared. was that he was
q fellow member with George +.
Baker, Thomas w. Lamont, Charles
E. Sabin, Percy A. Rockefeller,
Jamse A. Stillman and other giants
OF the financial district, in q mill
lionaire domino club. where he
time not spent in playing dominos
was given over to planning big
killings in Wall street.
This club was supposed to main
tain secret rooms at the Ritz Carle-
ton hotel, to which Lindsey display
ed a pass key.
1t was to get her money into a
pool operated by these men that Miss
Nilsson parted with her 100000. Mr..
Murphy said she had told him.
Similar stories, he said were told by
the other women.
Lindsey's home at South Ryack
was one of the show places along
the Hudson river and Lindsey him.

$4,000 she put into the pool was
practically every cent she possess
cd.
The $4,000 Mrs. Cornell said she
gave him represented the proceeds of
her husbands life insurance, out Of
which she had been supporting her
four children-one a cripple.
Mrs. Atwood. who gave up $4,000
in cash and $4,000 in jewels, has
been reduced from comparative af-
fiuence to raising pedigreed dogs for
q living.
So far as he could learn, Mr.. Muir
ply said, the only contributor to a
domino club pool who succeeded in
getting anything back was Major
Redondo Sutton, former president of
the Pacific Mining and Chemical
Company. who happened to know
that Lindsey was out on bail. under
an indictment charging white slav-
cry.
When he threatened to complain
to the United States Department of
Justice Lindsey quickly returned his
$4,000, Major Sutton told Mr.. Muir
ply.
The whits slave Indictment. re-
turned In 1915. was subsequently dis
missed on recommendation Of the
district attorneys Office. Later when
q special grand jury made the dis
missal subject of inquiry, the dis
trict attorneys Office explained the
case had been dropped because
Beatrice E. Weille, the complaining
witness, had disappeared.
Police circulars. bearing Lindsey's
picture and description were broad
casted today at Mr.. Murphy's re-
quest. The charges on which he is
wanted, Mr.. Murphy said. are en-
bezzlcment and grand larceny.

planned however, that there would be
no objection to clarifying reserva-

The senate leaders made no re-

ANIMAL WARS

Carveth Wells, explorer, tells about the whale-killer. It's
a big fish, about as long as a Pullman car. living IN the ocean
around the South Pole country.
As many as is seals have been found in the whale-kIllers
stomach. But the whale-kilers are not satisfied with merely
getting enough to eat. They want uxuries-delicacies
So a gang of them get together and attack a sperm whale
until they make it open its mouth. Then they tear out its
tongue. That's mob attack-warfare.
Cynics point to this as an illustration that war Is a natural
state. that war is being waged constantly all through nature.
So, they reason, human war can never be ended. There
something to be said on the other side.
Up north, the timber wolves are pairing off in couples,
peacefully sneaking away into caves to raise their young.
Next winter, when food will be scarce and hard to catch
against a white snow background, the wolves will begin run
ming in packs-their combinations for warfare.
1t is all a matter of food. Wolves never attack humans
unless driven to it by starvation.
OF all creatures in nature, ants are the most like humans.
Ants maintain standing armies, scientifically organized, with
officers in charge of regiments and battalions.
These ant armies,h however, are for defense.
Occasionally the ant armies line up and march off to at
tack another colony Of ants. Sometimes this is for the pur-
pose of capturing %neighbor ants and turning them into slaves.
But SO times out of 100, ants do not go to war until their
food supply gives out and they must conquer a new one or
starve.
The so-called constant warfare in nature is a simple strug-
gle for existence-to obtain food. As soon as food is OBJ
tanned, war stops.
Nature makes food scarce in the animal world because
the constant warfare strengthens the fighters, kills off the
weak and inefficient, and permits survival only Of the fttest.
There was some excuse, in the natural sense, for men war
ring in the days when it was nip-and-tuck with starvation.
But today agriculture, mechanical production and the
system OF distribution are developed to the point where there
would be more than enough food for every person on earth if
e~quitably divided.
That destroys the basic excuse for war. Anything inter-
fering with the free flow Of food is a dynamic generator of
war.
