WHITMAN SAYS CURRAN LIES.
Anil Alitermnn Insist. District Attor
ney Itreniiintpiiilril Mm D, Mrurr
A statement volunteered yesterday by
uniry II Curran, cJiairmun of the Alder
men's Investigating committee, that Dis
trict Attorney Whitman had recom
mended Max D. Steuer for counsel to the
committee led Mr. Whitman to tell Mr.
Curran over the telephone that tho state
ment was a lie and that Mr. Curran knew
it won a lie. Nothing else happened.
Kor several days it had been the talk at
City Hall that Mr. Curran had made an
affidavit that Mr. Whitman three time
recommended Steuer as tho best choice
the committee could make for Its counsel.
The purpose for framing such an affidavit
did not appear Mr, Steuer Is counsel for
Charles ft Hyde, who was indicted for
bribery In connection with tho Carnegie.
Trust Company Investigation,
Yesterday Kmory K. liiickner. the com
mittee's counsel, remarked that he did
not owefliis appointment to Mr Whitman,
because Whitman had recommended
Steuer. Retiorters asked Mr Curran
whether or not Mr Whitman had recom
mended Mr Steuer. Mr, Curran said
positively that Mr. Whitman had done so.
Ho said that on the iilRlit of AuiBt 6 or 7
he called on Mr Whitman at the letter's
nome, 37 .Madison avenue, to nsk for his
cooperation and ndvicc. They got to
talking about tho right kind of a man for
counsel, and, according to Mr. Curran,
Mr. Whitman said he thought Mr. Steuer
would bo n very good man for tho Job.
Mr Whitman got Mr. Curran on the
phone.
"Did you say that I recommended
Steuer's appointment?" ho asked.
"Yes. 1 did." replied tho chairman.
"Well, you know that I didn't," replied
the District Attorney. "Do you continue
to say that I did after I tell you that I
didn't?"
"Yes," said Curran.
"Then your statement I n tin and von
know It Is a lie." said Mr. Whitman, ha'ng
lng up the receiver
"Why on earth such a subject should
be brought up I don't know," said the
District Attorney last night. "What pur
pose could Curran have in making an
affidavit that I recommended Steuer?
Mr Steuer Is an ablo and an honorable
man. but anybody could see that his em
ployment as counsel for the Aldermen's
committee was impossible because of his
connection with the Hyde rase.
"What happened bo'tween Mr Curran
and me was that he asked mo who would
be the best man. I suggested Irank S.
Black, James W. Osborne and .lames M.
Heck as the type of efficiency and experi
ence required. I then told him that a
man of the keennej? and experience of
Mas D. Steuer was the kind of man to
keep in mind "
It was well known at the District At
torney's office that Mr. Huckner didn't
like the refusal of the District Attorney
to give him a formal recommendation
for th job. The District Attorney's ex
pressed reason was that Mr. Buekner was
too young and inexperienced for tho in
tricacies of tho investigation.

MYSTERY IN IDENTITY
Posing ns "Well Known Women,
She licfuses to Talk of Par
ents in Chicago.
Evidence against tho good looking
young woman who was arrested on
Thursday night on tho complaint of a
Sixth avenue storekeeper, who charged
that Bho had gone, off with several
gowns and had forgotten to pay for
them, plied up so swiftly yesterday
that even experienced detectives began
to look on tho prisoner with astonished
admiration.
Sho said she was 19 when she waa
first arraigned ln the West Forty-seventh
street station, this girl, who woro
an expensive chinchilla coat nnd a
white Empire gown, and ehe told the
detectives she 'as Frances Hollendcr, a
college girl.
It was all a mistake, her arrest.
She was a college graduate, nnd while
she may have taken some of tho things
she meant surely to pay for them
sooner or later,
Uut when she appeared In the West
Side police court later the benches were
tilled with shopkeepers and representa
tives of big hotels, who told tho detec
tives that under the names of Mrs.
Lew Fields, Jane Cowl, an actress; Mrs.
Tewksbury, wife of a broker; Mrs. Vera
Dowllng, Dorothy Forbes nnd Miss Hol-
lender sho had stayed for eight weeks
nt several of tho best hotels ln town
nnd had ordered clothes of nil sorts
and prices that had been sent without
question.
MnKlstrate Krotel held her for j:.ooo
ball for the Grand Jury when she had
waived examination. She cried a little,
and Miss Moore, the court's probation
officer, took her to a sldo room. Thero
she talked to Mlsi Moore when sho
had regained her composure.
'AH my troubles came about from a
Harvard student whom I met one sum
mer ln Vermont." she said. "We fell In
love, but we had no money and cou'.il
not marry. I have alwnys ncen a goon
girl, though. I think, don t you, that
It was better for me to have taken
these pretty things that I had to have
thnn to have got them by leading the
sort of life that might have madu mo
lose my self -respect? '
She said that she had bren In a con
vent in Baltimore and that she orig
inally came from Chicago. It was when
she ndmltteil that sho had lived ln Bos

A detectlte In n Fifth avenue de
partment storo rend about the girl's
arrest and remembctcd that a woman
went to his store about six weeks hko
and ordered several dresses, which were
sent to n hotel tmt not pal.l for. .She
said nt that time that she was the wife
of a broker who had a summer home
near Hoton. The detective told the
story and the Boston police were noti
fied.' ln the afternoon word came that
under the name of era Howling "
woman answering the girl's description
had been sentenced to the Lancaster
t Reform StliiKil on August 10. 1911. on
the charge of grand larceny, fin? wu"
accused of having stolen Jewelry from
Boston firms.
At her hearing she was rearrested
on unother larceny charge, ns the Bos
ton detectives had discovered fresh
thefts of diamond rings. She stayed la
the reform school two nnd one-half
months. Assistant District Attornev
McKettrlcU of Boston; it Is said, be
came Interested In the girl's easu nnd
she was placed under probation for five
years. Detectives here said that when
they confronted their prisoner with this
story she admitted that she was tn.)

Detectives MclJee. MrGann nnd Fltz
simmons of West Forty-seventh street
found mote etldencu against the c'rl
after she was sent to the Tombs. They
said thnt she came here six wi cks as i
nnd stepped first at the Herald Square,
where she ran up a small bill and le
parted. Then the Hotel Cumberland
beard of her and held pome of her
dresses when she didn't return to tho
hotel one night
One of these dresses was claimed yes
terday by a Japanese, the proprietor of
u cleaning establishment on West
Forty-eighth street. He suld that tho
prisoner had told him that she wanted
lilm to clean some of her dresses and
had given him the address of a theatre
where he would rind the dresses. He
went for the clothes, leaving the girl
with his wife. The girl said that sho
was thirsty and asked for a drink of
water. While the storekeeper's wlfu
was in the back of the store, she says,
the girl whipped a $100 lace dress out
of the show case nnd walked off with
It.
Then the King Edward and the
Knickerbocker knew the dark haired,
soft spoken young woman to their sor
row. The detectives found a trunk that
belonged to her In the King Edward
In which there were fifty dresses, thoy
say. At Shanley's tho sleuths found
she had checked a valise containing u
dress nnd two hats. Apparently sho
made no attempt to sell any of the
clothes.
She was staying at the Astor at tho
time of her arrest. The proprietor of
the Sltxh nvenue store, where she at
tempted to get somo clothes on Tliurs
day night, had been warned about the
girl by a relative, who had an unpaid
bill, and recognized her when she came
In. He kept her In his place until
the detectives arrived.
Sho was Inclined to boast a little
about her friends to Miss Moore when
she was In court yesterday. She s.ild
that on Tuesday she dined at n Fifth
avenue restaurant with one of the best
known play producers In the country.
Ho had offered her a part ln one of
bis plays, she said, but she had refused
to take It.
It was thought that some clue to her
real namo might be ln a notlco that
appeared In a Thursday morning paper,
which read:
"Frances Your mother very 111; It
you wish to save her life write nt once,

Miss Cnrter Shows Youiifrstors
How to Keep Well nnd
Grow Pretty.
Mis Theora Carter went up to tho
Carnegie playground nt Fifth nvenue
and Ninety-first street yesterday after
noon armed with twelve ltttlo pale blue
pasteboard boies nnd a perfectly lovely
lecture on how to keep well and become
beautiful, and made the biggest hit of
the season
Fifty boys and girls tumbled pre
cipitately from swings, seesaws nntl
trapezes nt her approach, nnd crowded
so closely about her that the camera
squad had to u-e force repeatedly to
get within snapping range
Hut it was worth any amount of trouble
to get a picture of Miss Carter. She is
slim and svelte, with dusky hair, big
hazel eyes, nnd a iwrfectly straight nose
When she opened one of the pale blue
boes and pulling out n brand newtooth
brush fresh Irom a leading drug store
and asked in a sympathetic contralto,
"How many of you have ever had a tooth
aihe?" ovety one present seemed to
want a closer view
The camera squad and the biggest
boys treated each other quite roughly
for about ten minutes, but Miss Carter
finally adjusted matters by refusing
either to ise or giveaway a single tooth
brush until there was absolute order.
It didn't take her more than ten min
utes to prote to the entire sattstaction
of her audience that persons who didn't
bru-h their teeth regularly were not
only liable to get diphtiierin'nnd mea-les
ami whooping cough i.nd other horrible
things that keep one home tiom school,
to say nothing of all the did. Tout kinds
of toothache, out that no one could xs.
sibly be pretty who didn't have n double
row of shinning enrls to dl-plav with
every smile
".Now. how many of you brush your
teeth this way'" inquired Miss Carter,
moving one ot the brush's horizontally
bak und forth in Imut of her own
mouth
Fifty handswerernised instantaneously
"I thought so." declared the lecturer
triumphantly. "Most people do. "I did
once myselt. Hut it's wrong Do yo.i
understand, boys and girls':" Absolutely
wrong. That way doe-n't do k thini;
to the germs This is the wnv to reach
them "
I'lacing her left hand gentlv on the
shoulder of a knickerbocjered blonde
of twelve summers, she coaxed him to
open his mouth so she could show the rest
how it should be dono .
"You hush tho upper teeth down and
the lower teeth up." she h.iil, suiting
the action to the word; "then you do the
same on the other side of the teeth, and
then you bru-h the chewing surface
in all dins lions
"Gimme one, teacher! I want one!
Get outer me way I was a header vou!"

fore bell time for:lgners, who form so
largo n percentage of the operatives, be
gan to assemble In the vicinity of tho
entrance, and while the crowd of loiterers
did not assume large proportions thero
was evidence that It Included some who
were wavering between going Into tho
factories or remaining outside. There
seemed to he a few who wero endeavor
ing to ndvlse them In the native tongue.
At t:30 a squad of patrolmen went
along Canal street ln an nutomoblle and
begnn clearing tho approach to tho mill
of all who showed no Inclination to go
to work. When the alternative of en
tering the building or leaving the vicin
ity was made apparent some of the op
eratives walked across tho bridge span
ning the canal nnd entered the mill.
Soon nfter the machinery had been
set In motion it wr. . apparent that there
was trouble Inside, as groups of from
ten to twenty-five operatives began to
come out. At first they came along
quietly, but after a time several men
were seen to diverge from the avenue
to tho gates and roon an order was
given to send n police squad, as there
was trouble.
Drive Men Pram Milt.
The patrolmen entered the mill nnd
drove the trou'jio mnkcrs from the place,
one whose head had been cut being ln
their number. A second time the police
were called to the mill plnnt, nnd It wns
said that there had been a setto be
tween those who favored quitting and
others who wanted to work.
The scene had quieted down, however,
before tho police renclird there. Possibly
500 quit this mill, but Information was
not forthcoming whether they were In
addition to the 1,500 who left yesterday
afternoon.
Shortly afterward word was' received
at police headquarters that tho unrest
had spread to the Wood and Ayer mills
and a squad nf ofllcers was sent there.
The operatives were leaving rapidly.
anil the police set them In motion across
the Duck Bridge toward the northern
section of the city. So hurriedly were
the bands quitting their work that they
asnln began to fill up South Cnlon
street In front of the Wood building.
The crowd wns fnlrly quiet, but nn Eng
lish speaking operative who carne out
said that the lenders had driven other
operatives from their machines.
There wns more of u demonstration
on the .Merrlmnc street side of the Ayer
mills. At that point, too, the brandish
ing of clubs had the effect of causing
operatives to leave their work, even
though they wete not In favor of the
strike. Thirty or forty girls comprised
an unruly group to handle for the sin
gle policeman who had been left on
dutv when tlie others of the squad fol
lowed the strikers across the bridge.
I'hev cheered and waved their hands to
others who were looking out of the win
dows. Some of them made nn attempt
to start the worklngmen's song, "I.'In
teruatlonnle." n Ml.alles Are Thrown.
I'lnally reenforcements came to the
solitary policeman and the street was
cleared. In passing along t'nton street
between tbe Duck nnd Kunhar.It's mill
there was some cheering, but there wns
nn absence of missiles, which character
ised a similar situation In the previous
Mnke.
Half a dozen sel7ed bold of tbe gate
of the Kuuhardt mill and rattled It upon
the hinges in an attempt to force It open j
I be effort was futile. At corners nlong :
Union and Commerce streets the strikers I
ns-emliliHl, but there were no acts of
violence, the operative being apparently
interested in seeing how rapidly their
number Increased
The sninners of the Everett mills caught
the strike fever and a few hundred of
them walked from their frames.
As the morning progressed the Inclina
tion to strike manifested itself In other
mil's The Arlington, where all wns
reported quiet early In the morninc. lost

left the spinning department.
Larly this afternoon there wns n call
for the police from the corner of Union
and Harden streets, where a man who
wn returning to his work in tho Everett
mil's was set on by a crowd of girls and
roughly hnndled before he escaped from
them. No nrrests were made, tbe trouble
being over before the arrival of the police.
Those weavers of the Washington mill
who were till nt work were told this
noon thnt the department would be shut
down until Monday. Several hundred
assembled In Mill street, lending to this
nlnnt. nt the opening hour this afternoon,
but there wns no trouble.
At closing time this nfternoon quite a
few strikers gathered at the Fiverett mill
when the workers came out, but there
whs no disorder
William Yates, national secretary of
the Textile Workers Union of tho I. W. W
said to-day:
"We have tried every possible way t
arert this strike. It waa the express
wish of Ettor and Clovnnnittl that
strike should tie called until after the out
come of their trial. But the feeling
nmcng the operatives wns so intense orer
the long confinement of their leaders
that, once started, it was Impossible for
any Individual to stop the strike. We are
doing everything In our power to stop it
and wo may yet lv ablo to stop a general
strike If we can't, however, then we
will tnko hold of tho strike and do tho
bet we can for tho strikers."
Elizabeth Hurley Flynn, organizer for
the I W. W.haid:
"This strike is only intended as a demon
st rat Ion, not as a threat. It will bo peace
ful If thev only nbldo by tho advice of tho
I. W. .
