 MT. Daugherty denied that the de- partment had the evidence necessary for successful prosecution of the General Electric company on charges of violating a decree of the federal court entered at Toledo, Ohio, in 1911.

 Categorical denial was entered to the charge that official funds had been used to shadow members of Congress and to the allegation that the mail of members had been opened.
 Release of the British schooner J.. E. Young. which had been libeled for violation of the prohibition laws. was ordered on the recommendation of the United States attorney at New York and on the request of the state department, the reply said, it being shown that the vessel had entered American waters "in distress" and therefore had certain claim to inn munity.
 MT. Daugherty dismissed briefly the charge that he had appointed un- trustworthy persons to high office. Declaring that the charge related to William J. Burns. head of the bureau of investigation, the Attorney Gen- eral pointed out that no insinuattons was made against the official con- duct of the bureau since MT. Burns took charge but related to alleged derelictions which occurred many years ago.
 "The Attorney General believed that each and every charge set up against said William J. Burns Is false ana untrue" Mir Daugherty said.
 Replying to charges that he had failed to act against certain war con tractors, Mir. Daugherty submitted Tn detail the procedure in each case ana the results which had been obtained in cases where settlements had been reached.

NEGOTIATIONS HAVE NOW
 REACHED DANGER POINT

Lausanne, December 3.-A review of the second week of the Near East ern conference shows clearly that the negotiations have reached point or danger; the question of capitulations, or special privileges enjoyed. may make or break the conference, and this Is so because an adverse deris- ion on capitulations may so wound Turki sh. national pride that the Turks may return to Angora.
 Everybody realizes the extreme Ndelicacy and danger of the negotia- tons on capitulations. The Turks have rejected all suggestions of the powers, including the United States. that the special privileges enjoyed by foreigners in the past shall be re- tained, more especially any attempt to have foreign consular courts try cases involving foreign residents of foreign property.
 Both Ismet Pasha and Dr. Riga Nur, plenipotentiaries from Angora. Informed the correspondent of the Associated Press to say that they would resist any attempt to place Turkey on lower international standing than smaller and less inn portant states, like Greece and Mex ico," and they would insist on com plete administrative independence.
 Demand Freedom
 Dr. Riga said:
 'We hear that the powers. includ- ing the United States. are thinking of substituting juridical guarantees for the hateful expression, 'capitula- tions Insofar as foreign tribunals are concerned, this will not do; it means the same thing under diff ferent name. And we object to a transitory period whereby Turkey ha 0radnal1V emancipate herself from the ancient regime of capitulations. We want complete freed m now"
 The leading European powers have received important help from Japan in their struggle to keep the foreign courts in Turkey. Japan herself suf- fered the same humiliation as Tur- key. and sympathizes with the Tur- kish attitude, But Baron Hayashi lhas made the point that 1t took Ja- pan two decades to establish a sys- tenn of jurisprudence which satisfied the foreign. powers and finally in- lduced them definitely to abolish the foreign tribunal privileges. Japan has. therefore. urged Turkey to De patient.

 Excessive Rate
 "A certain number of accidents due to risks of the occupation, such as the falls of roof. must be expected. but the present high rate is exces- sive. The great explosions, however, should not be considered to be normal occupational accidents. Explosions can and must be prevented. There is no reason, with the present knowl- edge, why local explosions in mines should spread throughout the entire underground workings. Miners and operators, as well as the official in- spectors. must take hold of the situa- tion promptly and vigorously or there will be still more serious ex- plosions and more men killed. Knowledge, not applied. is of no value, however practical 1t may ba in it's bearings"

ANDY'S CRUEL DAD
TRAILS DOLLAR KID
Will Take Back Home Boy
Whose Heartbreaking Yarn
Stirred S. P. c. G.

Officers Of the Society for the Preven-
ton OF Cruelty to Children at Workers
have been finding out tn;ngs recently
about Andy Fournase, the eleven-year-
cid PENNSYLVANIA boy who turned up at
White Plains not long ago With tale
of a cruel parent who had east him off
with n dollar bill which he had spent
for marbles. And of such nature are the
things they have iearned that every
thing points to a first class licking for
Andy within very few days. His
father is on his way here from Nenma-
collin. Pa. to give 1t to him,
Andy seemed to be a very nice boy
when the society took charge of him
and gave him food and drink and lodg-
ing and a place 20 play He was polite
--he always said sir and ma am
and he seemed very eager to be of felp.
He got to be quite a pet with the at
tendants. and as they watched him play
il. the society's yard at the society's
property they hoped he would set Il
good home somewhere.
Everything was fine with and for
Andy until last Saturday But on that
day Andy went into the attendant s
house. broke into the room of Miss Mary
Forest. and stole So in cash from q bu-
reau drawer. Then he shook the dust
of Yonkers from his feet and hurried
to New York by trolley car and subway.
He had three days here on his 50, and
was then picked up is juvenile vagrani
by the police, to whom he gave the
rame of Andy Amese and told again The
tale of the cruel parent and the dollar
bill. This time. however, Andy did not
say he had spent the dollar for marbles
He said he had given it to blind mar
who had touched his little heart The
police, however. had memories. AMI they
sent Andy back to Yonkers.
BY the time Andy got back the So
oiety in Yonkers had heard from the nu'
thorities In Pennsylvania. and Andy's
welcome was not very warm. II seems
that Andys father did not bring andy
to New York and cast him off with q
dollar at all. IT was Andy who did th'
casting off. He cast himself off from
the family home in PennsylvdnIl. and
cast himself off with $50 which hi:
father had put by for spring c.othii.g
Andy appropriated that $50 and came Il
New York. where he dsported himsel
pleasurably until it was exhausted whe'
! he crawled onto a railroad train 1nc
eventually turned up in White Plains.
| Word was received last night shal
| Andy's father had left Pennsylvania To-
New York to take charge OF his son
and Andys expression when told Of thi
1 left no doubt that soon he will smart y
a place other than his conscience

Commissioner Enright that through the

Referring to alleged violations OF the
law called to it's attention. the jury de-
clared that "in many instances the evil
dence presented was quite inconclusive. +"
Complaints against former licensed
