Douglas Shoes for Women Admits Insuranec Cash Would Relieve Building Shortage State Superintendent Phil? lips, Grilled by Unter? myer, Says Sale of Stocks Would Release Money for Investment Samuel Untermyer, in questioning Jesse L. Phillips, State Superintendent of Insurance, at yesterday's session of th,e investigation into the housing situ don being carried on jointly by the ?Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteer ing and the aldermanic welfare com mitttce, renewed his attacks on the of fjcials of large insurance companies. ] For more than two hours he grilled Mr. ! Phillips, aecking to bring out that the insurance men asnire to high places in Wall Street and are rcluctant to part with stocks and bonds and turn the companies' assets to real estate invest? ment.-:. He asked Mr. Phillips to produce at later sessions records on the nnanrial r-cttvitur, of the insurance companies. According to a deputy of Mr. Phillips, the records requested by Mr. Unter? myer would weirjh more than 1,000 pounds. It would take a staff of ex, perts more than three months to com pile them. Questions Involve Lockwood The examination of the witnesses was conducted almost entirely by Mr. Untermyer. Frank Moss, officially des ignatod as counsel for the joint inves? tigation, who is working without fee, conftnod his questioning to an attempt to show Senator Charles C. Lockwood's c.nnectioii with large insurance com? panies. Senator Lockwood is chairman oi" thc joint legislative committee in vestigating housing condition.-, and was the recipient of a letter from Mr. l.ntermyer yesterday charging that the legislative committecs' inquiry was in effective and farcical. Mr. Phillips told Mr. Moss that Sen? ator Lockwood is counsel for the Postal Life Insurance Company, one of the smaller institutions. Both Mr. Moss ar.d Mr. Untermyer sought to connect Senator Lockwood with the Mutual Life insurance Company, but without avail. Mr. Phillips said he had never heard of Senator Lockwood acting for the Mutual company. Two Kenewals Granted The witness was closely questioned by Mr. Untermyer on the second re newal of the ftve-year extension made in 1906 to the insurance companies to cnable them to dispose of their holdings in stocks and bonds. In 1906 the Arrnstrong act was passed, giving fe nsurance companies five years in which to dispos of railroad and ccr other securities and forbidding tnera to purchase more. In 1911 the '<.-. ? Uttirc extended thc time for an? other tive years, and in 1916, 0n recom mendation of Mr. Phillips, five more years were allowed. This was brought out in Mr. Untermyer's questions and Mr. rhillips's response. The witness asserted that he advised an extension of time because he tnoutrht it would "jeopardize the inter? est of the policyholders if the insur? ance companies were forced to dump upon the market the remaining securi? ties they had." Mr. Untermyer asked if any one lobbied for the bill, and was met with a vigorous negative. Lost Money by Delay Mr. Untermyer tried to develop through the witness the fact that by delaying the disposal of their sccuri? ties the insurance companies have lost tnonsands of dollars of their policy bolders' mon< 1 be inquisitor r<ad from th<. report of th< Mutual Li^e In snjranee Company, showing holdings in H-.xih Avenue elevated ?tc-ck, Brooklyn '?!?.vated, New York, N?w Haven & Jfartford otock and othtr necurlties, h< tid could hftVcwheen sold at * - ' ' rn .???: tlmon %\wA 1001, bul which were worth far below their par value to-day. He had spread on the record, through perfunctory questions asked of the witness, the fact that Charles A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, is di? rector in a number of railroads and banks in which the Mutual company is a large shareholder. He mentioned the Illinois Central Railroad and the Cen? tral of Georgia as examples. "The statement of the Mutual Life shows that on December 31, 1918," said Mr. Untermyer, "it had $26,569,000 in? vested in stocks. If that $26,000,000 was taken out of speculative stocks and put in real estate mortgages it would go a long ways toward curing the ex isting evil, would it not?" "It would release a lot of money for investment," the witness answcred, wearily. At tho next session, to be held some time next week, officials of the Life Insurance Trcsidents' Association will be called upon to testify. The joint legislative committee will resume its hearings in the City Hall to-day. Miss Eastman Obtained Passport Legitimately But if She Stirs Up Too Much TrOuble Abroad It May Be Taken From Her WASHINGTON, June 11.- If Crystal Eastman, sister of Max Eastman, New York radical and editor of "The Lib erator," is in Hungary making speeches to the Soviet council, she obtained her passport in a legitimate manner, the State Department announeed to-day. A dispatch to "The New York Globe' and "The Chicago Daily News" says a "Mrs. Eastman" addressed the council oarly this month and denounced the enforcement of the espionage act in America against Debs and other radical leaders. No passports are Issued, it was stated at the State Department except for urgent business reasones, but neither are they denied merely beeause the ap plicant ia a radical or Socialist. The suggestion was made, however, that there was always a chance that Amer? ican radicals who went abroad on "business* and then proceeded to stir up trouble, might have their passports taken up and find themselves ma rooned. It was learned in New York yester? day that Crystal Eastman left here for Hungary on April 2 after receiving a passport. Alleged Woman Spy Arrested, Kills Self "Lady of Camellias" Posed as American With False Pass ports, Italians Charge GENEVA, June 10.?Dora Charlton, aged twenty-four, an alleged spy, who travelled on a false American passport, committed suicide in Turin Monday when she was arrested. She made frequent trips between : Italy and Germany by the way of Switzerland during the war and is al? leged to have obtained important mili? tary information from Allied officer frienda, by whom she was nicknamed "the Lady of the Camellias," beeause ahe always wore that flower. She was a beautiful woman, and : posed ns an Amcricun. She was a guost of tho boBt hotela, had plenty of money and wore the latest Parieian gowns, which, it is stated, were supplicd by the German political department. Church "Deprecates" Wilson's Plea to Repeal Dry Law ASBURY PARK, June 11.?The Gen? eral Bynod of the Reformcd Church in America at its closing session to-day adopted a resolution "deprecating the action of Preaident Wilson in asking Congreaa to repeal the war-timo prohi? bition measure." A re.oiution which propoaod to peti tlon Congreaa not to vote in favor of onlvereal military training, failcd to Germans Kill Six Americans in Rows In Occupied Area Insolcnce of Natives Grows and Attacks on Soldiers Are Frequent When Our Boys Are Outnumhered COBLENZ, June 11 (By The Asso? ciated Press).?Hostility between the Americans and German civilians in the occupied region, which has been in? creasing recently, has resulted in ad ditional clashes during the last few days. In one instance an American was killed, and in other cncounter3 in various parts of the occupied zone several Americans wore wounded. At Third Army Headquarters it was said that at least six Americans had been killed by civilians since thc American troops reached the Rhine. German officials say that so far as their records go the number of Germans killed by Americans in fights during the six months of occupation total no more than five. Record of Clashes Kept Incidentally thc Germans admit that they are keeping books on the treat? ment of civilians by tlie Americans, paying particular attention to encount ers where the civilians contended the soldiers were to blame. In American circles the German record is called the "Red" book. On the American side it is claimed that a fight, in which Private Patrick Sheridan, a native of Ireland, who en listed in Chicago, was shot and killed, was brought about by a party of Ger? mans, who had been celebrating the Whitsuntide holidays, and who at? tacked Americans in the streets of Ehrenbreitstein. Witnesses agreed that Sheridan took no part in the light, but was an innocent bystander, when struck by a German bullet. Thc Ger? man who lired the shot is being held for trial by a military commission. Disputes Are Frequent In Arzbach soldiers and civilians clashed Monday night, one American being stabbed and a German sastain ing a fractured skull. In 3cveral other villages it was reported there had been fights Sunday and Monday, with about an even number of soldiers and civilians injured. The frequency of encounters has caused General Liggett, the Third Army commander, much anxiety and orders have been issued to the military police to take measures for prevent ing soldiers from attacking Germans wantonly. ?-?. . Children Are Attacked By Rats in Two Homes Boy and Girl Taken to Hospital for Treatment; Parents Make Complaint Rats in the apartment houses in the ncighborhood of East 113th and 115th Streets, have caused alarm among the tenants following attacks upon children yesterday and Tuesday. Some of tho tenants said they intended to petition the landlords to mako renovations. Sarsfield 11. Lavelle, Chief Inspcctor of the Tenement House Department, is investigating. Ida, the two-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Schenkin, of 111 East 115th Street, was bitten four times on tho arm yesterday by a largo rat, which Mrs. Schenkin drove from her apart? ment. The child was taken to the Beth David Hospital for treatment. A rat uttacked Leonardi Godfredo, two years old, of 225 Fast ?13th Street! Tuesday morning, and bit his arm. Thc child was nsleep in a crlb nt the time. He wna later taken to Both David Hospital. Dr. Nttthan Blaustein, medical dl- ' rector cf Both David Hospljf&l, said tho cases were not serious. 500,000 Reds In City Alone, Says Senator Chairman Lusk of State Com? mittee Tells Mayors of Menace as First Session Is Planned for To-day Socialists To Be Heard Commissioner Howe May Be Called to Tell What He Knows of Bolshevism Attorney General Charles D. New? ton, counsel for the legislative com? mittee to investigate Bolshevism, af? ter a conference yesterday at the City Hall with Senators Clayton R. Lusk, chairman, and J. Henry Walters, said that tho committee would hold its first session at the City Hall' this morning at 11 o'clock. It is understood that the committee has "invited" regular party socialists to testify before the committee, and that various "left-wing" socialists also have been asked to attend. There was a rumor last night that Frederick C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration, will be called to tell what he knows about Bolshevism. Commissioner Howb presided at a Madison Square Garden meeting in the interest of recognizing the soviet Russian government. 500,000 Reds in City Chairman Lusk, speaking at the state Conference of Mayors in Sche? nectady, N. Y., last night, said that nearly half a million persons in New York City alcne advocate revolution ary actions based on violence. Only a few years ago revolution was merely the dream of a few "crack pots," said Mr. Lusk, and its spread was due to the skilful propaganda of thc pink tea socialists and the parlor Bolshevists. Regarding those who have been proudly styling themselves Bolsheviki, Mr. Lusk ventured the opinion that since "One Big Union" had been brought, into prominence as the slogan of the revolntionary strike in Winnipeg, Canacm, thc "intellect? uals" soon would rap Bolshevism for "O. B. U." .Speaking of the results of the legis? lative intjuiry into scditious nnd rovo lutipnary activities, Senator Lusk said: "To-day in the city of New Yors this propaganda is being systematically handled by shrewd, experienced men and women, who seem to be coordinat ing their efforts nnd who apparently have r.o lack of funds with which to operate. In New York over fifty pub licationa are regularly circulated ad vocating this radical doctrine. A large numbcr of public meetings are hold each week in which these doctrims are openly advocated. When the speakers at those mectings suggest accomplish ing these results by force and violence the suggestion is received with tre- j mendous applause. It is estimated that as many as one hundred mectings of this kind have been held in one wock. "Speakers are being sent throughout tho state. They aro circulating their literature among the workingmen throughout the entire stato. Not Political Question "The timo has come to make it plain that this. is not a political question, it i.) not a question upon which men and women with knowledge of the facts can honestly differ. The extravagant ex prcssions hcretofore used in reference to political issues, tho fact that we have had a Socialist party in this country for a number of years, to gether with the adroit and skilful man-s ner in which the propaganda of radical ism is being handled by parlor social? ist s, and the giving to the public of conclusions rather than facts?these are the reasons why the American peopie havo not hcretofore been aroused by these traitors in our midst." Senator Lusk then suggested that police officers of unquestioned patriot? ism should be instructed to see that tho holding of meetings and the dis? tribution of seditious literature are stopped. "Each class of labor ls struggling to obtain a raise in wages. If one class succeeds over that of another it is an injustice. If all succeed alike then the net result is a raise in wages with a corresponding or greater raise in the cost of living. "It seems to me that the problem must be attacked from the other end. Something constructive must be done to do away with profiteering and to do away with capital's making excessive and unrcasonable profits on the neces sities and luxuries of life before the real permanent remedy for this in? dustrial unrest will be reached." Tammany Opens War Against Reds On motion of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, the executive committee of that organization yester? day adopted a resolution condemning Bolshevism, especially the recent at? tempts of the Reds to assasstnatc judges and other men prominent in public life. The resolution, in part, read: "Recent outrages and criminul at- \ tempts to assassinatc persons promi nent in public life reveal the efforts j pf certain lawless elements of the com- I munity to overthrow and destroy our j American government. It is apparcnt i that the elforts of these anarchistic and Bolshevistic elements to spread a goapel of discontent, violence and force ' are wholly foreign and alien to the ' fundamental principles upon which the , government of our country rests. "Tho Democratic party has con- ! aistently and continuously advocated j for tho individual the greatest de- I greo of personai freedom compatible j with the enjoyment of these great and I sacred rights by all our peopie, and \ has insisted upon the orderly progress '? and development of tho interests of tho j masyc!", against which principles nnd I policiea this Holshcvistic nnd nnnrchis tie propaganda is directly aimed; there? fore, be it "Resolvod, That there is no room in this country for these avowed enrmies of our American government nnd Amer an inatitoti m., "B: ?'? i '"'. j one flag?the Stars and Stripes?and j the waving and use of the red flag in | any manner is not only un-American j but a direct thrust against our flag, ! and should be rigidly prohibited. I "Resolved, That the rights of free ; assemblage, free speech and a free ; press do not include or permit organ j ized propaganda and attacks against the 'Constitution itself, which secures I these rights. "Resolved, That it is the immediate duty of all true Americans to exter minate these anarchistic and Bolshe vistic activities, where and when mani fested. "Resolved, That the Democratic i party of the County of New York here j by dedicates itself to the active and | energetic conduct of a non-partisan : campaign for America and American institutions, and that all the Demo? cratic headquarters be freely used to promote these ends. And be it further "Resolved, That a special committee be appointed, to consist of twenty-five members, to serve for one year, with power to carry these resolutions and their purpose into full force and ef? fect." Overhrow the School System, Says Glassberg Dismissed Teacher Attacks In? struction Methods at Protest Meeting Benjamin Glassberg, the dismissed teacher of Commercial High School, j Brooklyn, addressed a mass meeting | of protest at the Brownsville Labor Lyccum last night, and called upon his [ hearers to overthrow the present school system. He said that under J threats of being discharged teachers I were compel^od to give pupils instruc? tions in which they did not believe. "Are v/e to be forced to speak for child labor, lynching and other such American institutions?" he asked. "We demand free speech for the Americani zation of the school system. Teachers will be bound hand and foot forever if the present policy of the public schools endures." The dismissed teacher, whose ap? peal for reinstatement is pending, de? clared that organized labor was behind the fight against the present system, which, ho said, filled the schools with vicious propaganda and forced tcachors to speak in favor of "that curse, uni? versal military training." The meet? ing, held under the au3pic.es of the Teachers' Union, drew about 500 per? sons. Other speakers were Gilhert F. Roe, counsel for the Teachers' Union, and James P. Boyle, president of tho Bookkeepers' and Stenographers' Union. 'Burglar' Eludes Police; Then Raids Are Staged Reserves Are Called on False Alarm to Vanderbllt Home, on Fifth Avenue Police went to the home of William K. Vanderbilt, jr., 666 Fifth Avenue, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning in re? sponse to u notice that a burglar had entered the mansion. The Vandcrbilts were at their Long Island place ar.d thc butler said tho first he heard of any burglar was when the police ar? rived. Reserves from the East Fifty-second Street station ? and patrolman from nearby posts arrived in large num bers, They formed a cordon about the block and Detectives Jones and Cousins entered the mansion and searched in vain for the burglar. Fifth Avenue, from Fifty-second to Fifty-third Street, soon was filled with a crowd oy neic'hbors and persons from uptown hotols and Bioadway loiterers. When it was learned the alarm was a hoax, Police Captain Henry and a squad of men raided a number of re? sorts along Broadway and rounded up about thirty persons, demanding their reasons for being out at "such an hour." L Assails Secretry Daniels Navy League Head Demands House Committee Hearing Colonei Henry Breckenridge, presi? dent of the Navy League of the United Staten, yesterday wired the House Committee on Naval Affairs askiny that his organization be given an oppor? tunity to refuto recent assertions of Secretary of tho Navy Daniels regard ing the league's activities. Colonei Breckenridge'sj telegram avers that Secretary Daniels on June 6 made "false and defamatdry state ments" and requested that representa? tives of the league bo permitted to present "facts substantiating the pa triotic character of the league and the falsity of Mr. Daniels's statements." The directors of the league, Colonei Breckenridge snid, had taken this method of ?oing on record in emphatic denial of the Cabinet ofiiccr's charges. "What wo ask," he added, "is simple justice, and that before taking action the committee shall hcar our side of the story." Skeyhill's Plea Checred "With Great Britian and the United States controlling thc Met, finances and foodstuffs of the world no nation will over attempt to start another war," said Signaller Tom Skeyhill, of the 8th Australian Infantry, to anaudience which packed Carnegie Hall last even? ing. His earnest pleas for a better understanding between "the two great? est powers for right, justice and de? mocracy in the world" were cheered for nearly ten minutes. "The time has come," he said, "when Great Britain and America must get together if the peace of tho world" is to be maintained. They are not closely cemented together yet, because of the folly of old prcjudice, but as soon as this is realized an alliance similar to that which Burke described as 'Light as air and strong as the links of iron' will cxist between the two nations which control the 'key to provender.'

U.S. PAT. OFF. Says He Is Father Of 'Ash Can Baby,' Then Disappears Myslerious Stranger Pays Visift to Feinblooms; Sees Chilcl; Coney Island Ad? dress Found Fictitious If.- Mr, and Mrs. John Feinbloom can locate the young man who visited their room Monday evening and claimed that ha was the father of Bobby Ashc, the Mount Vernon ashcan waif, there still is a possibility that the stock broker and his wife may retain tho baby, notwithstanding the Supreme Court order retuming him to the New York Nursery and Child's Hospital. The story about the sudden appear ance of Bobby's father and his just as sudden disappearance was told yester? day by Daniel W. Blumenthal, attorney for the Feinblooms. . The man was described as about twenty-seven years old, well dressed, speaking with a for? eign accent. Thought Child Was Dead "I am sure," he said between sobs, Blumenthal declared, "you have my lit- | t!e boy. I am afraid to look at him. j I am really afraid to say a word about \ the whole matter. I know a great dis- [ grace is going to come upon me." Mrs. Feinbloom. her husband and Mr. ! Blumenthal then accoinpanied the young man into Bobby's nursery. "My God, that is our little boy," he ? exclaimed when he saw Bobby, who, ! the alleged father said, was christened ' James. "I thought by this iime he ! was surely dead. book at his mother's ! blond hair and his mother's mouth." Mr. and Mrs. Feinbloom thought they I saw a resemblance between Bobby and ' the man.

Tuesday Mr. Blumenthal re- ! coived a letter from the ir.an sayingl that he had given a lictitious address" and other untrue informaticn. He re iterated that Bobby was his child, and added that while his wife was ill a friend had taken the baby to placs him in an institution, which was the last the father heard of him until ha read of the "ashcan baby." Search for "Father" According to Mr. Blumenthal, the man expressed a desire that the baby be retained by the Feinblooms. who will have to give up the custody of the child unless the alleged father reappears and demands its custody and then consents to its legal adopt-'oa by the Feinblooms.
