'VIGE SQUAB' TRIES
TO INFLUENCE JURY,
JUDGE DECLARES
One Policeman Offered
Juror a Bottle of Whisky,
Court Tells Member of
Detail Who Complains.
Vice aquad policemen practice a system
of attempting to Influence Jurors serving
In the criminal branch of tha Municipal
Court. Room (74, City Halh and In doing
o Incur the risk of being Jailed, Judge
MacNellle declared from the bench to
day. The charges against the policemen who
form the special detail which Director
Porter calls tho "morals squad" followed
the complaint of Policeman Nees, of the
Biruad, that tho aqund waa discriminated
against by the court's tipstaves.
Neo'a Iro was aroused when one of the
court ofllcers ejected htm from a seat In
tho space reserved for lawyers. He strode
angrily to the bar of the court and coin
plained to Judge MacNellle
"Tho members of the vice squad are
nlnays put out of thoso stats. I know
those chairs aro for tho attorneys, but
many persons not lawyers are permitted
to occupy them, while members of the
vice sqund ore put out and told to take
seats In other parts of the room."
"We havo had to take extreme pre
cautionary measures with members of
the vice squad," replied Judge MacNellle.
"They have gono so ifar as to try to
tamper with the Jury.' On occasions It
has been reported to n.e that while tho
Jury Is on Its way from the courtroom
to the Jury room to dellberato on cases
In which vice squad men have testified,
conversations about the caso havo been
held so that the Jury could hear.
"in o speaiteasy case a pollcoman tried
to pass to a Juror a bottle of whisky
which had been offered as evidence, say
ing, "Take this with you and have a
drink.'
"If persons other than policemen, had
offended In this manner they would have
boon committed to prison. I now warn
you that hcreattor If there Is a repetition
of such practices tho offender will bo
brought beforo the court and punished."
Nees took a seat, but not among the
chairs reserved for tho lawyers.
RUMANIAN POLICY NOW
VEERS TOWARD GERMANS
London Alarmed nt Change of Front
In Balkans.
LONDON, Feb. E.
The belief Is rapidly gaining ground
hero that Rumania, instead of entering
the war on the side of the Allies, will
Held to German Influences and hold aloof.
Stories coming from Bucharest to the
erfect that tho Rumanian Minister of
Finance has received J4,000,000 In gold
from Hamburg, In return for permission
to Germany to ship $20,000,000 In gold to
Constantinople, serve to Increase the un
easiness as to the Rumanian attitude.
A few weeks ago It nas said confidently
In Great Britain that Rumania would
enter the conflict, perhaps, by tho middle
of February. Dispatches to the British
newspapers from Bucharest, the Ru
manian capital, now say that the Gov
ernment of Rumania has no Intentions of
breaking Its neutrality at an early date.
The same prediction Is made In dispatches
lecelved through Independent sources.
There likewise has been less talk In LonT
don of Rail's entry Into the conflict.

BRITAIN ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
07 GERMANY'S BLOCKADE
LONDON, Fb. B.
England today accepted Germain's
challenge. The Admiralty defied tho Kai
ser and dared tho German sea lords to
put to a test their, latest threat to starve
out England by sinking all merchantmen
of belllgoront nations that approach mu
lsh ports after February 18.
Admiralty oirtclals went Into conference
early today. What they dUcussod was a
closely guarded secret. But It was re
ported on rellablo authority that orders
for a part of tho English flotilla, of dc
strbyers to detach Itself from the North
Sea fleet and report for duty In waters
nearer home will bo Issued before night
fall. Part of this destroyer fleet, It Is oxpoct
'cd, will be assigned the task of sweeping
the sens for German submarines. Others
wilt bo detailed to convoy merchantmen
after February 18, when the German Ad
miralty decree becomoa effective until
such tlmo as the Admiralty Is positive
that tho Gorman under-sea terrors no
lonser menace shipping. It Is posslblo
that a few British cruisers ot tho Royal
typo will bo assigned to convoy duty to
allay tho fears of timid ship bwners.
Admiralty officials frankly dcclnred the
latest Gorman threat a bluff. They said
It climaxed a series ot official statements
from tho German Government that indi
cated that tho Kaiser's advisers nre, be
coming despernto. Nolther Admiralty
nmrinin nnr reDrescntatlvcs of tho big
shipping Interests would concede for a
moment that Germany could carry out Its
throat to shut oft England's food supplies.
The English nation turned Its eye to
ward America today. What tho United
States will say to the German Admiralty a
announcement that neutral ships may be
endangered by German submarines was
considered only secondary In, Importance
to the Gorman proclamation Itself.
That tho United Stntcs Till make formal
protest against t! 0 Oermnn decree upon
Its receipt at Washington Is deemed cer
tain hero. Admiralty officials professed
confidence today mat neuner America
nor any of the other etrong neutral Pow
ers would respect what hey called a
"paper blockade" of tho British coast.
In some quarters it was suggested that
the United State? mlgh Join with other
neutral Powers in a rormai protest to
Germany.
SUBMARINES ARE MASSING
AT ZEEBRTTGGE TOR BLOW
LONDON, Feb. 5. Germany Is making
cxtenslvo preparations for the blockade
ot England that has been decreed to go
Into effect on February 18. A dispatch re
ceived from Amsterdam stated that sev
eral submarines had arrived at Zee
brugge, the German naval base on the
Belgian coast.
It Is expected that these will bo used
to attack British transports and mei chant
ships.
Tho latest naval annuals credit Ger
many with 31 submarines, 12 being of
the older typo. There aro 19 equipped
with sleeping quarters and with a radius
of up to 2000 miles Those of tho 1911-15
class are not listed, and it Is certain n
number were built early last year. Fur
ther, It Is known that since the war be
gan work has been rushed on additional
undersea craft Conservative estimates
place tho number of submarines In the
German navy nt 60, at leaBt.

may be summed up thusi
"We do not Intend to wage war upon
