WILSON YIELDS;
WILL SEND NOTE
ON BLACKLIST
With Eye on Campaign,
Supporters Induce Him
to Reverse Cabinet.
CONFERS WITH POLK
AND SENATOR STONE
Then Announces "Representa
tions Against Principles of
Blacklist*' Will Bc Sent.
?? - * - 1 .?mi '
W BSaiBgtOB, Julj, '_.'>. The announce?
ment to-day tbat the President had
dropped b.s protest against the Hrit?
ish blacklist. following the representa
tion of the Hritish AwbaSSBdor
aroused such n storm among Demo
eratk politicians thnt the President is
now understood to have reconsidrred
his decision.
No protest is to be made, but it was j
announced nt the Stute Department to- j
day that "representations against the
principles of the blacklist" would go
forward to I.ondon, probably withi-.
the next few dr.ys.
At the ("abinet meeting yesterday.
where the question wns disCBSSSd, thc
lawyer-.iudgment of the majority of the
President's advisers prevailed, it was
learne-d to-day lt was decided, owing
to the Iack of information and the as
surances of Asabassador Spring-Rice. to
watch the operation of the blacklist
before detcrmining the position of the
Administration. The infringcment of ;
American rigbts in the seizure of thc
mails, about which there was no que?
tion of fact, was deemed the more im?
portant issue, and Great Rritain was
to be pressed for her violhtions.
Policy Would Hurt Campaign.
The announcement of this policy,
however, was received with dismay by
friends of the President who have an
anxious eye on the campaign. They
are declared to have at once mude
representations to him that such a
course would be politically disastrous.
Tke Republicans must not be allowed |
to make ammunition out of the situa- -
tion, the\ contendel.
Great Hritain, knowing a campaign
vhs beginning in the I'nited States, it
? d, has had the temerity to pub
liai a blacklist of Amencnn firms,
which it knew would arouse much re
rentment. It had followed this with :
an evasive memorandum on the mail '
Beizures, it was pointed out, which ii ,
no wny met the Administration's con- :
tentions.
If these two acts were to be allowed ,
to pass without protest by the I'nited i
States, the Administration would be ?
open to the charge of a supine foreigr
policy. Whatever the merits of the :
lawyer-judgment to wait until the facts
were in, the President was informed
that as far as the campaign wns con- I
ccmed a decisive stand by the Admin?
istration was itnperative. With the
child labor coup Btill fresh in his .
mind, where nn unwilling Democratic
caucus had been foreed to accept the j
measure, the President is declared to
have been impressed arith the argn- ,
ment.
Polk Seen the President.
Secretary Polk was again called into
conference" to-day with the President.

MANYFIRMSQUIT
BLACKLIST FIGHT
Majority Under Ban Re?
fuse to Join New
Association.
I'espite the proclaimed purpose of
making a uaited fight against the Brit?
ish blacklist and the formation of the
Association to Resist Hritish Domination
of American Commerce, the majority
of the firms, individuals and corpora?
tions on the published blacklist will
not be parties to the movement to
forte action by the I'nited States gov?
ernment.
This became known yesterday, when
it developed that only a score of the
eighty-one on the published list had
accepted invitations and requests to
join in the movement. Only one of
the three N'ew York Stopk Exchange
houses on the list, and but a few of
the Iarger and more important houses
affected, joined. These refusala, it is
stated, are in the main based on the
grounds that the proposed movement
ij political propaganda rather than
buaineaa.
Protest Called rolitieal Move.
Among the more important firms
which have not joined in the nove?
ment are Muller, Schall 4 Co., of the
New Vork Stock Exchange; Graven
horst & Co., and Schutte, Bunneman ti
i . Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne, an?
other Stock Exchange house, after con
sulering the formation of an organiza?
tion that could not be -lased as poli?
tical and part of the German propa?
ganda, abandoned the movement and
is understood to have declined to join
ii the organization headed by Leopold
Zrmmerman, of Zimmerman & For
shay, the one Stock Exchange house
Identifted with the organization.
Others refused to join in the move?
ment unless firms and individuals who
have figured in the investigations of
the Jiepartment of Justice in neutral?
ity matters wer* barred from member
ship. This stipulation was not agreed
to.
Members of firms which have re?
fused to join the Zimmerman organi?
zation yesterday refused to discuslthe
mattei for publication. They let it be
understood, however, they were not in
sympathy with the movement, and not
inclined to think it would aid any of
its members in raising the ban against
them.
Says Movement Is Futlle.
"It is foolish," said one of them,
himself of (Ierman origin, "to think
for a moment the movement will be
taken by anybody for anything more
thun what it is a German movement,
pure and simple. Not all of those who ;
have joined it are playing politics or
appreciate the work they are in ifl
propaganda pure and simple."

At the poliee court hearing the har?

from her German husband right years
ago and hnd lived in Kngland ever
since, and that she believed she would
icgain all her rights of American citi

Americn. Scotland Yard detectives
said there had been previous com?
plaints against the haroness travelling
about the country.
The proaidlag judge said it was
doubtful whether the haroness could
be ensidered an alien enemy. The
case was adjourned in order to enable
the haroness to ohtain counsel.

TO JOIN ALIENS
AND CHILD LABOR
Borah Proposes lmmigra?
tion Measure as Amend?
ment to Other Bill.
[ Krcwn Th_ Ti-lrmno Tl.ir.iu )
Washington, July 26. Senators fa- j
voring the passage of the immigration
bill, the literacy test in which caused
President Wilson to veto the measure
last session, will force a vote on it be?
fore adjournment, they declared to-day.
Senator Hirah, of ldaho, proposed
the entire immigration bill to-day a.s
an amendment to the child labor meas- .
urc, which the I). mc.cr.itic caucus last
night decided to put through before
adjournment Southern Senatorn had
already served notice on the Admin?
istration tbat if President Wilson
foreed the child labor bill they would
force the enactmrnt of the immigra?
tion measure over his veto. They wei
romed Mr. Rorah's propos.il to put the
two bills into one ar.d enact them to- |
gether.
"I am going to press my amend- ,
ment," said Senator Rorah to night. "I
do not see hew the Democrats can
refuse to vote for their own measure,
reported favorably by the Senate Im?
migration '"ommitt'-e and already
PBBSed by the House by a large ma?
jority. I am in great hopes of getting
both measures made law by this de- ,
vice, since surely there will be little
opposition from the House."
Should this be done Mr. Wilson
would be ronfronted with the necessity
of vetoing the Child Labor Kill, or else
Figning the Immigration Rill, literae>
test and all. Friends of the Immigra?
tion Rill who also favor the Child
Labor legislation have no worry on thi.s
score, since there are votes enough ::?
botli houses to pass the measure ov*r
the President's veto.
Senator Kern announced to-day that
the Child Labor bill would he taken up
as soon as the District of t'olumbu
appropriation measure had been
passed.
* "The minority is gratified at that de?
cision," replied Senator Gallinger, Re?
publican leader, whose disclaimer of
Republican opposition and clear cu.
placing of the responsibility for its
passage on Democratic shoulders.
caused the strenuous move on the
President's part to save the bill.
"The majority should follow that oy
giving notice that the Immigration bill
will be taken up," said Senator I.a
Follette.
Senators Gallinger and Penros*
agreed with this, but Senator Kiru
announced that the majority would
give such notice as it saw fit, th?
caucus having determined to defer the
Immigration oill until Decembvr.

TEN AFFIDAVITS
TELL OF GRAFT
Enright Is Accused of Giv?
ing Arrested Aid Money,
Demanding Silence.
TWO WOMEN CHARGE
HE "FRAMED" THEM
Arrest Followed When She Re*/
pulsed Detectlve's Attentions,
One Swears.
Ten peopie men anil women put
??? attidavit form yesterday stories of
havmg paid protection money to cer- '
tain policemen or of having been
"fratned up" by otlicers seeking to ex
tort money from them. As a result
Assistant District Attorney James K.
Smith said there would probably be
t.-n more indictments in the poiice
graft scandal.
Mr. Smith made public the contents
Of three of the affidavits, one made by
I
Badis Lipschitz, who says she paid De
t.i'ive Wiliiam J. Knright $350 to ob- |
tain the release of her husband after
he had been arrested with her on a
charge of soliriting and operating a
disorderly house; another by Max
Turkowitz, who has confessed he was
Knnght's stool pigeon, and a third by
a woman who eharges she was
"framed" because she refused to pay
money to Knright or to accept his at?
tentions. The Lipschitr. woman told
the District Attorney Knright had her
r.rrested and sent to Rlaekwell's Isl?
and for three months after she had
paid him to release her husband be?
cause there wns some hitch in the pay?
ment of another J.I.'iO for her own re- :
lease.
Women Arcuse Fnright.
Cohen and Turkowitz were arraigned
before Judge Mulqueon in Special Ses
sions yesterday morning nnd placed
under suspende.i sentences. Hoth men
have made complete confessions, the
District Art'.rney said, and will be wit?
nesses before the grand jury.
The woman who asserts Fnright tried
to "frame" her because she refused to
accept his attention, and in pursuance
of tne attempt arrested her maid, is
said by the District Attorney's office
to be respectable. She has two chil?
dren and has for ten years oper.ited
a lirst class furnished rooming house,
upon which, the District Attorney said,
no suspicion ever had rested.
Swears Money Was Paid.
Turkowitz, in his affidavit, swears
that after he had been arrested with
David Cohen, June M last, and ar?
raigned on a charge of extorting money
from women nf the street. Knright. gave
him some money and told him to "not
be afraid and not to tell anybody any?
thing." This statement is corroborated
by statements made to the District At?
torney by Cohen and by Patrolman
Conway, of the M Inspection District.
Roth of them say they saw Knright
hand Turkowit. the money. Detective
David J. Foley, they suid, was with Kn?
right.
The alleged passing of the hills from
Knright to Turkowit?. gave the District
Attorney's oftice and Poiice Commis?
sioner Arthur Woods their first clew to
the wholesale petty graft, which. it is
alleged, exists BBIOBg a coterie of de?
tectives led by Knright and Foley.
Turkowitz, in his affidavit, says that
only a few hours after he and Cohen
had been arrested Foley visited them .
in the Yorkville prison.
"We'll get you out all right," Turko?
witz says Foley said. "Don't be afraid.
Fnright and I will testify for you and
we'll have these complainants held for!
perjury. The Deputy Poiice Commis?
sioner said we could do it."
Turkowitz swears Foley told him Kn?
right had seen the Deputy Commis?
sioner regarding th<- matter.
The next day, June 29, Turkowitz and
Cohen were indicted, and Patrolman
Conway rearrested them on bench war?
rant.* as they lef' the Yorkville eourt
room. It was then the alleged passing
of the money took place.
"(ine .>f Knright's stool pigeons tried
to collect money from this woman,"
said Assistant District Attorney Smith,
"and she told him she had done noth?
ing wrong. Fnright then arrested her
aaaid, on a charge of running a dis?
orderly house Knright ofTerid to get
her a lawyer. She went with him tn
two lawyers' oftices, but both de?
manded exorbitaat feea after arhis
p<re 1 conferences with Knright. 'A e
hava the names of both of those law?
yers.
"A few days Inter Fnright went to
this woman's house when her husband
araa out and made improper proBOSBll
to her. She .ays he parsaed her
around a dimng-room table, trying to
embrace her. The maid was dis?
eharged when her caic rume up in
Special Sessions. We have the names
of the men who 'framed' this woman
for Knright. and they probably will
be brouffht b. fore th'* grand jury.
Graft Involves a Score.
"Sa.lie Lipschlta araa a disorderlf
koasekeeper in the Tendsrloin for sev?
en.. jrears, but in 1913 she quit. Kn?
right arrested her and her husban.l,
char^iriK her with running a disorderly
h<,use BBd her husband with soliciting.
Knright told her he would get her and
her husband out of trouble for $Tou.
She was told to meet him at Sixth
Avenue and Twenty fourth Street with
the money She pawned her earrmgs,
gave Enright IMO, and her husband
wns releaeed. Then she ???< told to

She did not do this immediat-ly. Kn?

District Attorney Swann said yester?
day he is convinced the graft ing was
eonftned to not more than fifteen or
t-.ventv men. The District A'torney

SCHOOL SUPPLY
GRAFT TRAPS TWO
Clerks' Dismissal Asked,
with Big Inquiry Into
Bureau Dealings.
Two employes in the bureau of sup?
plies of the Board of Education are
recommended for dismissal for alleged
grafting. The evidence on which the
charges are based is to be sent to the
District Attorney. according to the re?
port on an investigation made by
Leonard M. Walistein, Commissioner
of Accounts, and submitted to Mayor;
Mitchel yesterday. The commissioner
aajra that he began the Investigation
at the request of the president of the
Hoard of Kducation.
"The investigation substantiates the
charges that were made," the report
*aid, "and discloscd other acts of mis
conduct, and re.juircs the recommenda
tion that William A. Casson and
Francis J. O'Malley, clerks in the bu?
reau of supplies of the Board of Edu?
cation, the former being the chief of
the tabulating, statictical and tariff
diriaiOB, be dismissed."
The commissioner states that after
numerous false denials Casson and
O'Malley in their testimony admitted
that in February and March, 191fi,
O'Malley received from the representa?
tive of a certain supply dealer who had
furniahed bookkeepiag blanks to the
bureau of supplies two sums of money
aggregating $170, representing their
'heir share of eommissions, which was
divided equally between the two clerks.
"It also appears," tho report con
tinues, "that it was quite usual for
Casson to recommend to various supply
houses who solicited business from the
Hoard of Education the employment of
his friends and relatives "
When a friend or relative was so em?
ployed he usually "whacked up" the
eommissions he received from his em?
ployer with Casson and O'Malley, ac?
cording to the testimony.
Commissioner Walistein intimates in
hifl report that other irregulanties
have been found in the bureau of sup?
plies and reeommends a searching in?
vestigation of that department tO fol?
low out lines of inquiry already started.
GERMANS FARM
ON BATTLE LINE
Scythe Whetting Back of
Trenches Mingles with
Roar of Guns.
Headquarters of the German Armies
on the .Somme, July 24. The great
Allied offensive has not availed to
check the raising of the rich harvest
,,f the fertile lands in the occupied
French provinces. The German soldier,
wielder of the sword and ploughshare,
too, has planted the fields right up to
the line of trenches. ?'
Not the laaat striking impression ofl

under the fire of their enemy.
The crack guard regiment gathered
a crop of hai from a Held so .los.'
tn the French that the grass could
only be cut at night. and carried back
to vacant fields where it could be
spread and cured.
The harvest will be well worth the
risk. Great fields of wheat, oats. rye
and potatoes, all showing remarkably
good condition. despite the lack of
artificial fertilizers, were to be seen
on every hand. The wheat and rye
wnr.- partirularly filled out, and an
oftcer of the German army, who was
encountered by the correspondent
dnring his tour, said casually that
the crops of f-rain and vegetables in
the occupied districts of France
v-aoulr] be sufficient to supply the
needs nf the army.

characteristic of the attitude of the
men toward the warden. It ended:

The name that means Square Deal
to us."
After luneheon came field sports.
And the day ended with a ball game.

ens Mapami.
Chihuahua City, Mexico, July 2?.?
Villa, with about thirty men, is in the
Canon de las Huertas, near El Paso de
Penoles, Ourango, according to dis
patches from (ieneral Ramos, sent by
courier to Mapami and telegraphed to
General Trevino to-day. Calixto Con
"reras, his chief lieutenant, whose death

deserted immediately after the Parral

city, according to the dispatches.
lt was reported that the Villa foi
lowers are scattered through the foot
hills of the Sierras in small bands.

ammunition, was met and repulsed by
the government troops a day's march

General afatiaa Ramos. commanding
the Carrania troops ,n 'he c.mpaign,
has determined. according to reports.
that Villa planned to reconcentrate
his scattered command at San Pedro
de Galle and to attack Mapami. For
this purpose one hundred men, under
the leader Padilla, struck off north and
south of that point, that addltional
government troops might not be
brought south while Villa marched
on Mapami. The de faeto troops, how?
ever, were . too strong and he waa
obliged tO turn back.
Colonel Suarez. comminc'er at Ma?

Ramos's dispatches. that he is well
fortilred and prepared to taot with the
Villa forces should they succeed in
