A. Bes saraboff. who sent a congratulatory let ter to the White House suffrage pickets, as “a representative of the old imperial despotic Russian government.” They expressed "extreme regret” that a Rus sian had addressed any such letter tc the pickets. WASHINGTON. June 22—Police to day put an end to all suffrage picketing i of the White House. Following two days’ riots. Major Pull man issued strict orders against per mitting the militants to flaunt their; banners, or to stand before the White House. Pullman served formal notice on the wcyneu at 9:30 that they could not con tinue their tactics. Then he strung a line of patrolmen and policewomen from suffrage headquarters a block away from the White House up to and along the avenue on which the mansion fronts. ’The period of leniency has passed." he said affbr issuing this order. Meantime, there was prospect of sene sational dvelopments in the situation. Shortly after issuance of the order, three patrolmen and two policewomen, after trying peacefully to dissuad* j • Miss Lucy Bums, militant leader, anti Miss Catherine Morey, of Boston, from unfurling a big yellow banner before the White House gates, arrested them and took them to headquarters. CLING TO BANNERS. The women clung desperately to their i yellow banner bearing a quotation from one of President Wilson’s speeches on democracy. “You must move on,’’ said the pa trolman. "You can’t stand here with that standard.” The two policewomen than stepped up and argued for a moment with the j leader of the pair. Miss Burns. "Wouldn’t you rather give up the banner and move on than be taken in?” said the officer. “You can’t take away this banner; *it’s private property.” said Miss Burns in A low even tone as though reciting prepared speech. "We will keep It. It is private and we have the right to stand here. Our position is logical and , constitutional. Tours is illogical and unconstitutional." The second policewoman tried to get Miss Morey, a frail little girl, to give } up the fight. "No. I won’t.” she snapped, -her face growing pale. "You haven’t any right. to do this.” The two policewomen took the suffra gists and their banner in charge. i he arrested suffragists were released shortly after arriving at police head quarters. Before being freed, they were warned against further attempts to picket. - They were charged with obstructing traffic'and told they would have to ap- • pear later to defend the charge. The police told the two women 'hat other charges might be made against tnem. though they refused to say what these might be. Pullman granted them t me to get counsel and they returned -o suffrage headquarters, where Miss Bums declared that the police had vio lated her rights in as much as peace- j ul p cketing was proper and that it I had been in effect since January 9 1 without interference. Miss Morey de- • la red that Inspector Grant, upon find ing that the banner quoted President Wilson s speech instead of the Russian banner, was “unbiased.” While the women were under arrest . ther women at their headquarters pre- . .tred a new denunciatory Russian ban- j uer of canvas which could not be easily ( torn, but Miss Alice Paul indicated that the picketing would cease for the time : being until a test had been made of | the present case. "If this be treason —displaying Presi- | -.ent Wilson’s own words before the i White House —let them make the most ; of it.” declared Miss Paul and Mrs. Baker, press agents. Th whole reason for the police order to ay became apparent when Miss Paul detailing what she had said to Major i ullman. admitted that she had said •he wished to “articulate the unrest in -o' country on the suffrage question." that If this effort to promote un rest embarrassed the president then ■ fault was the government’s and ■ .r women would continue their work. “Did you tell Superintendent Pullman ‘ •cu wanted to embarrass the presi- < cent?” Miss Paul was asked. DENY USING GERMAN FUND. "Tes,” she replied, then corrected •at sufficiently to explain that if her < fforts to express the nation’s unrest on uffrage was embarrassing, they would keep on with the embarrassment. she claimed not to recall making any remarks’'about German money behind the propaganda, though it is under stood that she denied to Pullman that i oney from Germans or German eym pathixers had been used. The orders against picketing came as a direct result of a startling conference between Pullman. Inspector Grant and Miss Alice Paul. slim, frail leader of the “cause’ Just what she told the officials was not m"»de public immediately, though j there were suggestions that her re-1 ~-.-r.-s "were such as to startle the na- | tIOTT. 1 * i Pullman’s talk with Miss Paul was - the telephone. Pullman's face was j.-=,. .-nd his words were snapped off ser H* showed* plainly he meant L css. and that he will accept any bal'ange the militants want to hurl r.t him. The following letter was received to mm Paul, from N. A. Bessara boff. of the Russian artillery commis sion: . “Miss Alice Paul: ’My Dear: •’ have just read about the deplorable incident near the White House. "From all my heart and soul I am proud of the courage of American wem en. who so boldly demand real liberty and democracy. * “I pray all good .forces In the world is give you the courage to stay unshak en. to find in high ideals unlimited forces o 9 joy. helping you not to fall down spiritually. "I am proud of Miss Burns and Mrs. Lewis who stool so courageously de spite the angry crowd. "In Russia different kinds of oppres , sons did the very same thing as Ameri can police <lo now. Yet a real liberty won and there are no forces on the earth which could disprove humanity from it. “With deepest respect and admiration, “N.

More Than a Dozen Motorcy cle Policemen Suspended by New York Head NEW YORK, June 23.—Simultane ously with the news from Rome today that Alfredo Coccht had confessed the murder of Ruth Cruger, it was reported on high authority that at least a doz en more motorcycle policemen would be suspended as an outgrowth of the - case. The investigation begun by Inspector Faurot at the direction of Police Com missioner Woods, it was said tonixht. already had disclosed certain alleged | irregular practices by motorcycle po- I licemen which substantiate a belief that motorists have been victims of petty graft through falsified records of summons and arrests for speeding and other traffic violations. Cocchi is be lieved to have been a go-between for j the patrolmen In many of these trans | actions. Cocchi's confession will not hinder I the investigation of the police handling iof the vase which Mayor Mitchel di rected Leonard M. Wallsteln, commis sioner of accounts, to institute, it was I declared. “Cocchi’s confession removes what ever possible doubt there may have been that he was the murderer.” the commissioner said, "and makes it all the more important to find out why the body was not found and why Cocchi was permitted to escape.” Cocchi had many friends among the ; police, it has been brought out. espe -1 dally in the motorcycle squad, and his ■ confession, it Is believed may be fol lowed by other disclosures such as the naming of accomplices or those who helped him flee to Italy. Police Commissioner Woods said be ' is particularly eager to find out If Cocchi had accomplices and if he had confessed about his dealings with po- I licemen. After Mrs. Cocchi had been question ed in the district attorney’s office for ; more than two hours, it was announc ed she had given "material help” to the authorities. She. told the district attor ney. it was stated, that twice since her husband’s disappearance, the street door leading to the oellar had been found open after she had locked It. Henry D. Cruger, father of the mur dered girl, and Mrs. Grace Humlston, who found the body, will be witnesses before Commissioner WUllstein Mon day when the public hearing Is resum ed. Mrs. Maria Cocchi late today turned against Cocchi and told the district at torney all she knows about him. Mrs. Cocchi’s story, detailed under the stress of great excitement and last -1 ing four hours in the telling, put the missing private detective, Edward Fish, in a less favorable light than he has been at any time since his name was mentioned tn the case. The little Italian woman Interrupted a recitation of her husband’s love af i fairs and an elaborately detailed state ment of his movements on the date of the Cruger girl’s disappearance to say thit Fish had begged her to let him stay In the bicycle shop alone after Cocchi ran away to Italy. Mrs. Grace Humlston, the woman who found Ruth’s body, expressed the be lief that now Cocchi has confessed, other persons will be implicated in tho cast. Efforts of Mrs. Humlston, the police and the district attorney were tonight concentrated on the effort to have Coc chi returned here to be punished for murder. • > Cocchi’s Attorrney Moves To Prevent Extradition ROME, June 23. —Haunted by re morse for his fiendish crime and confi dent In the belief that Italian law would bar his extradition to the United States, I Alfredo Cocchi has confessed to the murder* of Ruth Cruger In New York, February 13. The text of the prose cutor's report was received here tonight from Bologna. American Ambassador Page, it was declared, will make a determined effort i to follow in Cocchi’s case the precedent set in other recent extraditions from i Italy, and have the youthful Italian re turned to New York for trial.

EDDD IS FORBIDDEN FOB LIQUOR MAKING DURING WAR TIME Lever Measure Is Adopted by House by Overwhelming Vote Following Heated Amendment Debates WASHINGTON, June 23.—The ad ministration food control bill, giving the president broad authority to control the distribution of food, feed and fuel for war purposes and appropriating $152,- 500,000 for its enforcement and admin istration, was passed by the house late tonight after far-reaching prohibition provisions had been written into it. • The vote was 356 to 5, Representa tives ♦McLemore, Slayden and Young, of Texas. Democrats, and Meeker, Missouri, and Ward, New York, Republicans, vot ing In the negatlvdl The prohibition provisions adopted would permit the use of foodstuffs for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, and would give the president authority to take over for war purposes all liquor now on hand. They were put into the measure during the evening in commit tee of the whole, and when the bill came up in the house proper the antl prohlbitlon faction did not demand that they be voted on again. The bill now goes to the senate, where It probably will be substituted early next week for a similar measure already under consideration. Leaders’ hope to get the measure to conference by July 1. Few Important changes were made by the house outside the prohibition sec tion. The control powers of the presi dent were limited to articles specifical ly mentioned In the bill Instead of giv ing him blanket authority; voluntary aids In control work were made suo ject to the penal provisions, all persons In the food administration except those serving without compensation were plac ed under civil service; and the presi dent was required to make an annual report on the operation of the bill. KENTUCKY MAN’S STAND. The amendment designed to cut off manufacture of liquors was adopted, 132 to 114. It was submitted by Repre sentative Barkley, of Kentucky, Demo crat. and would provide that no food, food material or feed could be used during the war for the manufacture of alcohol or alcoholic beverages except for governmental, industrial, scientific, medicinal or sacramental purposes. On the amendment authorizing gov ernment use of distilled spirits there was no roll call and only a few scat tered nays were heard on the viva voce vote. Originally proposed by Rep resentative Webb, of North Carolina, it was accepted by Chairman Lever, of the agriculture committee, and was adopted on his motion. It says: "The president is authorized if in his opinion it Is necessary to conserve necessaries, to require any person hav ing control of alcohol and distilled spirits to turn over to government use or re-distillation such proportion of said alcohol or spirits as the presi dent may deem necessary to meet the requirements of the government in the manufacture of munitions and other military and hospital supplies insofar as such use or redistillation would dispense with the necessity of utilizing products and materials suitable for foods and feeds in the future manufac ture of alcohol or distilled spirits, for the purposes herein enumerated. REQUISITION AUTHORIZED. • Upon the failure Os the person to comply -with the president’s require ment, the president is authorized to requisition and take possession of the alcohol and distilled spirits required to be turned over awl to pay for same a just compensation’ to be determined by the president and If the price so determined be not satisfactory to the person entitled to receive the same, such person shall be entitled to sue the United States to cover such fur ther sum as, added to the amount so paid, will be just compensation.” NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. As originally adopted, Representative Berkeley’s amendment would have pro vided also against use of foodstufls in making non-alcoholic drinks, but this feature later was stricken out. An amendment by Representative Lenroot to permit the manufacture of light wines and beer was defeated, 134 to 124. When the house returned to consid eration of other sections of the bill an amendment by Representative Keating of Colorado, providing that nothing in the bill shall be construed as repealing or affect the labor exemption on provis ions of the Sherman anti-trust law quickly was rejected 45 to 162. Mr. Keating read a letter written by Her bert C. Hoover, to Chairman Lever, in insisted that a combination of men in dorslng the amendment, but Mr. Lever time of national disaster might attempt to limit the manufacture of food neces saries If such an exemption were made. An amendment was adopted provid ing that all persons employed In the ad ministration of the food law, except) those serving without compensation, shall be appointed under the civil serv ice law. In the senate vlrutally no progress was made on the bill during the day. The leaders were unable to hold a quo rum and consented to qgi adjournment after a short session devoted mostly to routine. Conferences continued looking to a compromise on most of the con tested features but it is unlikely that a final vote can be reached before let* next week. Senator Galltnger told the senate to day that press reports were erroneous in saying he opposed the/adminlstration bill. He said he opposed only “certain objectionable” features and denied that he was among those leading the opposi tion as representative of the Repub lican side. Meat Packers Behind Hoover in His Campaign WASHINGTON, Juns 23.—Arthur Meeker, of the Armour Packing com pany, of Chicago, today assured Her bert Hoover, food administrator, of the I united support of the meat packers,of | the nation in his food conservation pro gram. Meeker told Hoover that the packers were willing to back any plan Hoover might undertake. The grain industry has already fallen into the line behind Hoover. Will Clear Wharves Os Congested Supplies NORFOLK, Va., June 23.—-Following a SIOO,OOO loss in perishable foodstuffs dqring the past week, and with tons daily going to waste through a serious ; labor shortage here, police late today were ordered to round up every avail able non-employed man In the city in an effort to clear away the congestion at Norfolk, where food lies piled high awaiting shipment Jail awaits those who refuse. GERMANY CONTINUES GREAT OFFENSIVE ON FRENCH AISNE SECTOR No Let Up in Artillery Bom bardment Which Continued With Intensity All Day Along the Chemin des Dames NEW YORK, June 23. —The following Is an epitome of war developments as received by cable' from European cap itals: Little activity of a major sort is vis ible In any of the war theaters except along the front in the Aisne region of northern France. Here the German crown prince is engaged in a series of attacks on the French lines, along and near the western end of the Chemin des Dames, where the curving front protects the German fortress of Laon, which a further French advance would menace. These attacks have been launched In force on narrow fronts at various points. At one or two places they met with some success, notably near Froidmont farm, where on Friday a considerable salient In the French line fell Into hands. y Friday night serious attempts were made by the Germans to debouch from this salient. The French fire was too much for them, however, and no further progress was made. The Infantry at tacks were not renewed on Saturday, but the artillery fighting continued ah day with some violence In this and other sectors of the French front. In the eastern war theaters there are indications that important fighting may again soon be under way. While conditions in Interior Russia continue uncertain and mixed, the na tion's armed forces seem to be regain ing their morale and be nearly ready to attack once more. The example of “storming battalions” comprising new organizations of troops who have Indi cated their eagerness to fight, is having a salutary effect and is said to be prov ing Infectious. Everywhere there are signs that the general demand that the army mdve without further delay cannot much long er be resisted. While the Italians have let up in their attacks In the Trentino the success Cf their recent assault, which resulted in the capture of the Important height of Monte Ortigara, is emphasized today by the announcement that the Austrians lost some of their heavy artillery as well as suffering other losses of mag nitude In the operation. Four guns were taken by General Cadorna’s tboops. Germany’s Offensive Greatest in Months LONDON, June 23.—What Is prob ably one of the strongest general coun ter offensives that Germany has struck in six months is centered In a fury of fighting on the Aisne sector of the French front. Tonight’s official French statement indicated no letup In the German ar tillery bombardment. It continued throughout the day along the Chemin des Dames, at times approaching tre mendous intensity. Once again the Germans- are "straf ing” the recent gglns achieved by Field Marshal Haig’s’ forces in Belgium. Of ficial estimates 1,200 shells fell In the city today,” The German offensive extends over more than eighteen miles. Its plain purpose is to relieve the tightening of the French grip on Laon. It began parly In the week with prodigal ex penditure of shells. The French were simply holding their gaffia and waiting to strike again. After this lapse, the German offensive suddenly broke out. In consequence of the desperation of the French front, a decided drop in even minor German fighting ac tivity on the British lines. One or two small raids —both unsuccessful —were all the enemy attempted. On the other hand. Field Marshal Haig’s forces car ried ’out dozens of these reconnots sances. London Reports Raids And Prisoners Taken LONDON, June 23.—"Qur troops raid ed the enemy’s positions north of Gav relle last night and captured several prisoners,” says today's official state ment on the Franco-Belgian front oper ations. "A number of other prisoners were taken by us tn a successful local operation in the neighborhood of Warneton. A German raiding party was repulsed northeast of Ypres.” The official report from British head quarters in Uranee tonight reads; “In the course of patrol encounters last night south of Armentieres Portu guese trqops killed or captured a whole German patrol. "Beyond artillery activity on both sides at a number of places along our front there is nothing further of special interest to report.” Continuous Bombardment By Russian Artillery VIENNA, June 23.—(British Admiral ty Per Wireless Press, Via London.) — The official communication issued by the war office today says: "Eastern theater; On the mountain front and In Volhynla the enemy’s artil lery fire was temporarily revived. The Russian artillery’s continuous bombard ment of the region south of Brzezany was energetically returned by our bat teries. “Italian and southeastern theater; There was slight firing activity.” Says Decreased Tonnage Explains Decreased Losses COPENHAGEN, June 23.—The Eks trabladet states it has been informed by a German naval personage that the decrease of submarine sinkings in May may be explained as due to a decrease in tonnage at sea. The Germans, de clares this authority, torpedoed pro portionately more ships than in previ ous months and in some areas more than the German preliminary esti mates. The number of submarines lost In May, as in previous months, It is as serted, could be recorded by a single figure. Italians- Report Capture Os Four Austrian Guns ROME, June 28.-i-Included in the booty taken by the Italians when they captured Austro-Hungarian positions on Monte Ortigara in their offensive on the Trentino front June 19 were four guns. It was announced today in the official statement issued by the Italian war department.

The war office issued the following com munication today: "Western (Russian) front: In the Stokhod river region near the village of Pozog our scouts prepared an ambush, and, surrounding the approaching Ger mans, showered hand grenades upon them. In the bayonet fighting that fol lowed some Germans were killed. Owing to the approach of German reinforce ments, however, • our scouts returned to their own trenches.

A se ries of “feelers” has been carried out by Field Marshal von Hindenburg at various points, principally around the Laon plateau. One of the chief of these was an effort to cut a breach In the French line at Vauxaillon where the German “shock" units temporarily ousted the French from a short trench system on the slopes of Monkey moun tain, on which it was important tnat > both armies should possess observa s tories. French counter attacks Immediately regained all the ground lost except a salient measuring a few yards, in which the German position Is most precarious. On this occasion the Ger man shock troops advanced in their 1 shirt sleeves without packs, after a ' terrific bombardment In which every yard of the adjacent ground was searched by shells, ' The German “shockers” as soon as they succeeded in their determined and courageous effort, turned over the trenches they had gained to the Seven . ty-eighth German infantry division who, however, failed to hold then? when called upon for a defensive effort. The correspondent visited the entire pos:- ’ tlon in this sector today and found the French firmly established while the Germans on the other side of the hill s were deprived of observatories and thus their artillery was blind. Another lively affair occurred In the s vicinity of Mont Carnillet where the Germans and French attacked almost simultaneously, the former with the ob ject of recovering prominent points they had lost some weeks ago and the latter with the Intention of getting . freer elbow room. I As It happened a unit, consisting of . only 62 French grenadiers and porta ble machine gunners, occupied the po- > i sltion coveted by the Germans and not f only drove off the attacking forces, but , pursued them and captured a consider . able length of German trenches and In i doing so killed more than two hundred . Germans. j On the Chemln-des-Dames also the ■ Germans launched yesterday a num- > ber of attacks, some of which resulted s in most desperate engagements. In the i neighborhood of La Royere farm the ground was covered with German bod ' les while the only success the Germans achieved was to gain possession of a t short section of a front French trench. right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning.
