Helen Elwood Stokes, was made

ton by Samuel Untermyer, chief
of Mrs. Stokes counsel, today.
Many Paid, He Alleges.
Untermyer, in making his re-
quest, produced a statement, signed
by Joseph Ross. a Chicago italian,
in which it is charged various sums
of money was paid to members of
the Chicago underworld to appear
as witnesses against Mrs. Stokes.
Ross sister-in-law, Anna Fran
ceso. a former maid in the employ
of Edgar T. Wallace, San Fran
cisco oil man, the correspondent in
the case, was to be witness again
today.
The maid, on her direct testi-
mony, told of seeing Mrs. Stokes
in the Wallace "love nest just off
exclusive Fifth avenue, on u num-
Der of occasions. Her testimony
was identical to that of other
witnesses, who told Of "feeting
glimpses" of a red-haired woman
who visited Wallace's rooms during
the period between 1914 and 1918.
Three witnesses, so far, have ad

Charles Erbstein, of Mrs Stokes

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-All engage
ments for today were Cancelled and
David Lloyd George was ordered to
bed by his physicians when the
cold aggravated by fatigue from
which the former English premier
is suffering, failed to show the i'm
provement expected Attending
doctors emphasized that his con-
dition was not serious.
This statement, signed by Sir
William Sutherland, was given out:
Has Bad Cold.
"Mr. Lloyd Georges physicians
last night discovered that he had
a temperature due to a cold aggra-
waited by fatigue, and ordered him
to remain in bed. He is somewhat
better this morning, but impera-
tive orders have been given to re-
strict his public engagements.
Sir William announced later that
II was hoped Lloyd George would
he able to get up late this after
noon and address the mass meeting
at the, international auditorium to-
night.
Eats Hearty Breakfast.
Chicago gave a sigh Of relief for
its guest when it was announced
that despite his indisposition, the
former premier had eaten heartily
of a breakfast consisting OF ngs'
sirloin steak. .buttered toast, nam.
eggs and coffee. 1t was Indicated
that luncheon, too, would be served
him in bed.
From this, those grouped around
the sixteen rooms occupied by the
LltAyd George party in the Drake
Hotel concluded that the states
mans doctors had ordered him to
bed more for the rest than because
of any alarming symptoms.
Sir William refused to elaborate
in any way on his written state
ment nor would he explain why the
orders from the doctors were 'im-
perative."
Raided Fruit Store.
It was learned today that last
night Lloyd George slipped away
to a small fruit shop near his
hotel, where he bought an ample
supply of apples, pears and peaches.
Members of his party explained
that he is very fond of fruit and
manages always to have it about

are alleged in startling counter
charges made by three suspended
Federal prohibition agents against
members of the police vice squad.
The mass of evidence today lies
before District authorities investi-
eating these complaints.
LOOting of Homes.
Among the more serious charges
are Iooting of raided homes, the
purposeful creation of friction be-
tween Federal and city dry forces
and at least one "frame-up" in a
bootlegging case.
Thirteen types Of law-breaking
are noted in the allegations. Forty
instances OF laxity, at the least, are
related against the vice squad.
No specific accusations are made
in the main body Of the complaint,
which is devoted to q general ac-
count of the vice squads alleged
misdemeanors. Between fifty and
sixty affidavits already have been
filed in substantiation Of the
charges, and about twenty more
are to be placed in the hands Of
District Commissioner James F.
Oyster the next few days.
Police Named.
The charges name Lieut.. o. T.
Davis, Sergt. James E. McQuade
and Private Bauer, of the vice squad.
as policemen who strayed from the
path of law enforcement.
The evidence was submitted by
Ralph E. Ruby, assistant divisional
chief of the Washington prohibition
force; Agent George Fowler and
Agent Clark H. Packard. All three
are under suspension, pending out
come of the investigation by the
special intelligence unit Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. Davis and
McQuade's charges ousted the trio.
Ruby and his associates secured
the city for evidence to use as a
boomerang against their accusers.
The pile of affidavits and the main
body Of the charges, were given by
Ruby to J. r. Cox, special intelli-
gence operative in charge of the In
vestigation. The papers went
through the office of Internal Rev
enue Commissioner David H. Blair
and reached Commissioner Oyster g
office yesterday.
Neither Ruby nor the other two
agents could be located today. 1T
was learned they are remaining
"under cover" by direction, but will
appear on the stage Of inquiry when
they are needed.
Worked Against Drys.
1t is alleged in the counter
charges that Lieutenant Davis con
sistently spread derogatory rumors
and reports about Federal enforce
ment agents, and in every possible
way worked to bring about un-
friendliness between the dry agents
and the police department.
Many of the affidavits declare that
money and Valuables were missing
from homes after liquor raids by the
vice squad.
Bauer's name, 1t was learned was
mentioned in connection with q

Inasmuch as the vice squad was
regarded as one of the most active
agencies Of the police department,
particularly in liquor work, the full
contents of the charges, when they
become known, will have the effect

N. D. Senator Charges Weeks
FIouted Congress by Making
Sale Called Illegal.
By TOM EvERRITT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.
Copyright. 1929, by Cosmopolitan
News Service.)

A demand for a congressional
investigation of the sale of the
Gorgas plant at Muscle Shoals by
Secretary of War John w. Weeks
was threatened today by United
States Senator Edwin F. Ladd, of
North Dakota.
Weeks in Hurry.
Senator Ladd, in his first public
statement since his return from a
II ,000-mile trip through Europe
with the Hearst mission, declared
that Secretary Weeks was appar-
emily engaged in a hurried attempt
to get Muscle Shoals away from
Henry Ford before Congress could
stop him. Senator Ladd said:
Secretary Weeks seems to lave
maneuvered himself into a defense
less position. 1 have no doubt
that Congress will fully inquire into
the validity Of the option and of
the deed that Secretary Weeks is
supposed to have delivered to the
Alabamas Power Company. The
action Of Secretary Weeks in trying
to dispose of the Gorgas plant ap-
pears to me to be a fragrant flout-
ing of Congress.
1T looks like a feverish effort to
get this property into the hands
Of the Alabama Power Company be-
fore Congress can have the Op-
portunity to dispose of it. The
whole procedure should be gone into
thoroughly when Congress meets.
If the Administration is not care
full, such procedure as this is apt
to become equally as embarrassing
as some conditions in Panama and
the Philippines"
Favored Ford Offer.
1t will be recalled that Senator
Ladd was the Republican member
of the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee that wrote the report favor
ing he acceptance of, the offer of
Henry Ford for the development of
Muscle Shoals.
He further said: "I was very
much asonished, not to say sur
pirsed, to learn that Secretary
Weeks had recognized the alleged
option Of the Alabama Power Com
pany for the purchase OF the Cor
gas plant and has decided the prop
erty to them. In view of the de-
cisions OF the Attorney General of
the United States and the Judge
Advocate General of the United
States army, / do not see where
the Secretary Of War found his au-
thority for making such n deed"
at would seem that Secretary
Weeks has very little regard for the
legal talent in the office of the At
torney General, or for that in the
War Department. The opinion of
the Attorney General, dated May "a,
1922, stated, The option that was
given is, in my opinion, invalid for
these reasons, and then the Attor-
ney General assigns his reasons.
Opinion Confirmed.
In the subsequent opinion of the
Attorney General on August 4,
1923, he confirmed his previous
opinion. stating In my opinion of
May "a, l held that the provisions
giving to the company an option to
purchase, and the provisions by
