THE WASHINGTON TDIES. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 19l tlmate ,VrUh the revelations already jnade to the Federal ofllclala. Bup 'prosslon of the plot In one place will be (allowed by their outbreak In other, fcnd nothln loss tlmn a secret tcrttce pis and directive onuugh to ret to tho Inside, w unravel plot In advaneo of i thalr execution, and to make It abo- I lutslv Impossible for tho Dlottera to i wuujtuB meir wora, will verve mo yur 'Thar 1$ xnected to be determined op poaltlon In Congress to effort for larger appropriations for thin Secret Service work: but tho need for them will havo been thorouahlv demonstrated beforo the aubject requires legls'atlve decision. The original Secret Serrloo waa dedica ted merely to the business of suppress ing counterfeiting add Investigating certain classes of pavnvnts. Including bounties, by the Government. These latter duties have boon practically un necessary In recent years. During- the Roosevelt Administration, because some nervous congressmen not the Idea that President Roosevelt was using Secret Hcrvlco men to look Into the records of members of Congress, a proviso was Inserted In an appropria tion bill Intended to stop this, A bu reau of Investigation In the Department of Justice wns provided for, and" thU la now tho second branch of the Secret Service, headed by Mr. Blelaskl. whllo William J. Flynn directs tlirt branch, under tho Treasury Dcpurtmont, which handles counterfeiting. Consuls Are 'Not Immune. Both organizations are highly effi cient, considering their limitations In personnel and means. Mr. Illiloskl branch, though It has been organised but a few rears, has gathered together a corps of nblo Investigators. It Is commissioned to Investigate alt viola tions of Federal laws aside from coun terfeiting, and crimes against the pos tal laws. While exact Information Is not to be had for obvious reusons, It Is understood that there are now about IS men In the Blelaskl bureau; to dou ble this force and give It much more ample me-ins Is considered now abso lutely necesstry. There Is some misunderstanding as to the measure of Immunity that extends to agents of foreign governments. The judicial code gives Federal district courts Jurisdiction of all offenses against the Federal laws. These courts have exclusive jurisdiction Of offenses by consuls; State courts cannot prosecute consuls. It Is a mistaken Idea, widely entertained, that consuls enjoy tho Im munity that vests diplomatic officers of representative character. As a mat ter of fact, consuls of foreign govern ments have been repeatedly prose cutedsome of them havo been Jailed and the Supreme Court has sustained this authority In the Federal courts. The present difficulty Is that some of the offenses now under Investigation are offenses against State, and not Against Federal law. The embarrassment arises from the fact that where there is law there Is no Jurisdiction, and where there Is Jurisdiction there is no law, unless some Federal statute, such as tho anti trust act, 'can be stretched to cover 4hese cases. Tho Attorney General has appealed to Stato authorities to co-operate with the Federal Government In prosecuting all cases discovered by the national agents which are not covered by Federal laws, and over which the State courts have Jurisdiction. Preparing Tor a Coup. There Is good reason to bellove that a big crop of such cases will presently be awaiting attention. It Is understood that Capt Von Itcn telen, Oerman army officer, court fav orite and Intimate representative of lruslan high authority, who was taken off a neutral ship by British of ficials, and Is now In a detention camp In England, will be extradited to this country, and that In him tho prosecu tion of foreign plotters wilt reach close to lis highest marks. Andrew D. Meloy, American citizen, who was taken along with Von Ken telen, was brought back-' to this coun try, and Is now at liberty on ball. For a long time effort of investigators has been directed at getting the superior and diplomatic agents into the net, and the successes that have been achieved In this direction constitute the basis for expectation that a big haul of first-class offender will be made before long. It Is intimated that simultaneous ar rests of u large number of people Is different parts of the country will lie part of the program when everything Is ready for the coup. German Supplies Pass to Turks Through Bulgaria BUCHAREST (via Vienna. Berlin, and London). Nov. 23 Huge quantities of military supplies from Germany are now pouring through Bulgaria for tho Turks. Thu far, according to advices, from Rustchuk, 1,400 carloads of munitions, nrtlllerv and hospital supplies have been landed at Bulgarian Danube porta for transshipment by rail to Constanti nople. Included in one bhlpmcnt were two 12-centimeter guns for the Ottoman defense of the Oalllno!! peninsula. THE WEATHER REPORT.

INVESTIGATION IS PROMISED Attitude Indicates That Com mission Approves "Unfair Competition" View. Hundreds of cases of misleading, de ceptive and fraudulent advert! Ing. be lieved to constitute unfair competition within tho meaning of the Federal trade act. will be presented to the Federal Trade Commission for action within the near future aa the result of a hearing held by the commission at the Willard Hotel today. Six men prominently Identified with the advertising business throughout the United States addressed the commis sion at the hearing, calling attention to many specific cases In which the public was defrauded and business Interests Injured by the shaking of public con fidence In both thi businesses and peri odicals affected. At the conclusion of the hearing Chairman Davles said the commission nould be glad to receive complaints and to Investigate specific cases. Tho hearing was arranged so that the com mission might hear the views of men u ho believe dtshoneit advertising con stitutes unfair competition, the per petrators of which can be enjoined or prosecuted. Investigation To Be Made. Although no announcement Is made to the effect that the commission be lieved mislead ng ladvertlslng consti tuted unfair competition, the fact that cases will be Investigated was taken to mean that the commission was Inclined toward that view. This afternoon tho commission will hear from Joseph Berberlch and Charles Columbus, of the Washington Retail Merchants' Association, who will nsk for advice as to the procedure neressory for the protection of the local merchants and buying public from dishonest end fraudulent advertising. Uotli rnid the local association heartily Indorsed all that was said at today's hearing and tht they would go to Con gress If necessry for a law to protect local tradesmen and consumers. Advertising Abuse. Herbert 9. Houston, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, was the first to address the Commissioners. He outlined the abusea to which advertising had been subject ed and the efforts made to curb or sup press them. He said his association had been Instrumental In having stat utes against dishonest advertising j passed In thirty-two States and had MOO vigilance committees actively work ' Ing for the enforcement of the stat utes. Advertising, he said, In a strong pow er In business and It should be protect ed by tho Federal Trade Commission. Ho said his association believed dis honest advertising was one of tho worst forms of unfair competition and asked that the commission rule that It had Jurisdiction over such cases. Mr. Hous ton said Investigation had shown that fraudulent mail order houses had got ten 0239.999 from the public last year. The fourteen associations In this or ganization spend between 1700 000.009 and (000.000,000 a year for advertising and should not bo subjected to unfalrcom petition, he said. James Kceley Speaks. James Keelcy, editor of tho Chicago Herald, read a number of letters from national advertisers, all of whom ex pressed the belief that misleading ad- OUR YOUNG WOMEN arc so often subject to headache are languid, pale and nervous because theirbloodisthin or insufficient.

There are no 'white lies' In advertising. They are all bl.ick. The oral lie Is heard and dies away. The printed llo lives and travels. Tho nowspaper and peri odical presses bring the multiplication to a single phrase. Dishonest adver tising decreases the value of honest ndverttslng and denies an honest adver tiser of the benefits to wmen ne is en titled when ho buys white space. Dis honest advertising affects the paper or periodical In which it Is printed because I It weakens the influence of that paper by breeding public distrust. Newspa- ipers are public utilities and dishonest nnvertlsers snouin aoi on iwimuru w use them In such n way as to' shako that public faith which Is as essential to business ns fresh air Is to human organism. " Mr. Kceley suggested that the com mission designate a man to Imcstlgate cases which would be brought to Its attention and leam the far-reaching ef fect on business that dishonest adver tising has. Cltlen Fraud Cases. II. J. ,Kenner, executive secretary of the Associated Advertising Clubn. cited a number of typical Interstate cases of misleading and deceptive ad vertising. Among them were adver-tl-ementn of alleged soleleather made of pasteboard; shoes made of cheap slip cowhide, a 11.60 watch with cellu loid Jewels and cheap plated case which was sold for $5.76 and -wns said by the advertiser to bo worth 125. He also cited the case of an Instrument supposed to cure all hunjan allmentr by external application, llo said 45,000 of these devices ware sold for lit each before a fraud order was Issued against the manufacturers by the l'oatofflce Department. He said tho 1'ostofflce wss doing good work and tho pure food laws were strong, but neither was aa ef fective ns a system of stopping fraud ulent advertising at the Inception of such schemes, thus preventing the fakers from getting a foothold. Speech of Business. William II. IngcMolf cited a number of typical coses of Innqcent and un intentional misrepresentation In adver tising, lie said: "Advertising Is tho speech of business and the easiest thing to employ In an unfair way." He cited tho Oerman and Swedish laws which prohibit fraudulent and misleading state ments In advertising. Mr. lngetsoll said dishonest advertising causes a great waste In this country and such methods weaken this country In com-intm-iii with the other nations of tho world. L,. T. Meredith, editor of a farm mag azine in Des Moines, Iowa, said 5,000 cases of dishonest advertising could be placed before the commissi"!! In thirty days. He asked that the commission take Jurisdiction under the unfair com petition clause of tho trade act. Charles H. Porter, president of the Advertisers' Association In Chicago, made a slmltlar request.

He waa brought to Eaaton and placed in jail, and held without ball. IJABTON. Md., Nov. 21.-State' At torney Butler prepared this morning to Issue warrants ror Frank Marshall and his wife, charged v.lth Imprisoning tho former's daughter and the tatter's step daughter, Urace Marshall, for nearly twelve years In a small room at the Marshall farmhouse After examining many Maryland stat utes. It has been decided to seek ac tlon against Marshall and his wire on a chargo or assault with Intent to kill. There Is no statute solely applicable to tho unprecedented case, attorneys say. The Maryland farmer and Mrs. Mar shall probably will bo brought hero for arraignment this afternoon. After the habeas corpus proceedings of last week, which reclaimed the emaciated and al most dead girl prisoner, tho couple erc allowed to return to their farm. Keel ing runs high on tho Kastern Hnore. and Marshall Is described as being in a state of extreme nervousness nnd fear, nllhoittth Insisting that ho did not mis treat his daughter. Deny She la Demented. Urace Marshall Is slowly Improving and Is learning to talk again, word hy word. 8he called her aunt by name to day and wrote tho name of her dead sis ter on a slate. L'aston residents, who talk of little else than the Marshill cose, say the gradual recovery of the girl's mind Indicates that she Is not demented, ns claimed by her pnrenta Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will be given a preliminary hearing before Police Mag istrate A. L. Tharp, of L'aston. If sufficient evidence Is found to wnrrant sending tho case to tho circuit court, the likelihood Is that the grand Jury will bo called Into extra session to pass on the alleged crimes. The crime of Assault with Intent to kill rarrles a penalty of from two to twelve years In 'lie penitentiary, or at the discretion of the court, In the Mary land House of Correction. Iloth Marshall itnd his wife expressed surprise and skepticism when Informed that Grace, hod broken her silence of years by asking her aunt, Mrs. M. II.

There are many persons In the Im mediate neighborhood who wore Ig norant of Grace's cxlstenco until the developmentsjast week. Among these, are persona who had known her In childhood. "There Is absolutely notning In tho orr.a.bJiut.h?.r having a suitor." de clared Marshall, "it la a 0 from be ginning to end. She waa not locked up to keep her away from any man. This Is tho wav she h-nkn hM 1.1.1 uh mmm sitting hero about eleven or twelve I years ago on tho mat In this dining t room, and tho rest of us turned away ' from her.

Grace Not Prisoner, They Say. Iloth Ignored the question. Later Miss Davlea declared that the Marshalls had said to her that Grace had fallen to the ground from the second-story porch whllo trying to escape from her room. At first both Mr. and Mrs. Marshall declared Grace had not been a prisoner. ! that they had treated her with the ut-' most consideration and that she had been given the liberty of the upper, floor. . . I "My daughter had the use of three rooms on the second floor," said Mar-' shall. "Does that look as though ah , wss kept prisoner?" i Later Manhall waa prevailed upon to conduct his visitors to the "prison room." He led the way nrst to a large bed room, and said that Orace had been quartered there for a while, then to a second, with a similar statement, and Hnally to a small nan Dea room, aooui I bv 10 feet In dimensions, where, he stated, the young woman had been locked uo , ... "For finally It got so." ho explained, "that I told my wife that I would not stay In the house another night unless the girl was under lock and key. So I got a lock and key for tho small room.

The father said that thlrteon years ago the girl became so deranged that lie took her to Johns Hopkins Uni versity for examination. "And she hit me on tho nose and kicked me In the knee." he said. "Dr. Thomas there said she waa a raving maniac and that the hospital cold do nothing for her." Marshall referred his Interrogator to former Btate Senator nichard 8.
