Murderer of Ruth Cruger
N. Y. POLICE UNDER PROBE
?4 Commissioner Woods Criticizes His Own
? Department for Inefficient Han

Thoto by International Film Service
MRS. GRACE HUMISTON
NT.W TOnK, June 18.
The Grand Jury this afternoon returned
an Indictment charging Alfredo Cocchl with
the murder of Iluth Cruger, olghteen-year-old
high school girl, who disappeared three
months ago and whose body was found
burled beneath Cocchl's bicycle repair shop
hero Saturday.
The Indictment was signed by Judge
TVadhams In General Sessions Court and at
once forwarded to Goernor Whitman at
Albany In order to ask hla arrest at Bolo
gna, Italy.
Meantime a sensational probo of the Po
lice Department's attitude toward Inves
tigation of the caso was started by tho
District Attorney.
Pnllco Commissioner Wood llatly con
demned hH own department for ItH Inef
ficient handling of tho case and turned the
police end of It over to the District At
torney with the suggestion that tho Police
Department be Included In the general probe
of the Cruger murder mystery.
Wood will drive the police to a vigorous
hunt for the "white slaye ring," which
Mrs. Grace Humlston declares Ir re
sponsible for at least twenty-two missing
New York girls she knows of. ,
This statement, promise of a bhako-up In
the police department equal to that follow
ing" Police Lieutenant Becker's conviction
of the murder of Herman Rosenthal nnd the
District Attorney's statement that he has
sufficient evidence upon which to try Alfredo
Cocchl were swift developments In the case.
"There are little, harmless-looking Bhops
scattered all around some of tho high
schools and public schools," said Mrs.
Humlston. "Loungers of the most de
praved type Infest these places and watch
the girls going to and from school. When
a girl enters one of the shops she la In
sulted. 'There are other cellars In New York
holding secrets Just as hideous as the one
Cocchl hurried away to Italy from, but Lf
I told names and locations before my evi
dence Is complete the criminal's I want
would get away.
"New York does not yet realize how sys
tematized Is the danger for the girls who
live In It. The public readily says, when
& girl disappears. It was as much her fault
as the man's. I know better.
"When a girl Is Insulted In one of these
places she usually broods over the horror
of it. Never would she tell her parents,
for she feels she is partly to blame. Little
by little her seducer batters down her
moral stamina, and soon another girl is
'missing.'
"With the right sort of assistance I
could show you a case equal In horror to
that of Ruth Cruger's every month in the
year."
Discussing the case of the Cruger girl,
Mrs. Humlston expressed the belief that
she was attacked by more than one man.
The autopsy revealed what she termed "a
ripper' crime of tho worst kind." Exam
ining physicians agreed with her.
"Probably ltuth. on her visits to the shop
or .while passing It. attracted many men.''
said Mrs. Humlston. "I think there had
been speculation and plans about her."

Instant response on the part of two pa

U. S. Urges Russia

Continued from Tate One
and the same devotion to liberty and justice
and loyalty to constituted authority. The

which the American electorate Is divided.
Vnlted, they represent tho republic. How

and In hostility to the enemies of democracy
throughout the world.
"The commission Is prepared, If the Itus
slan Government desires, to confer upon
the best ways and means to bring about
effective co-operation between the two
Governments in tho prosecution of the war
against tho German autocracy, which Is
today the gravest menace to all demo

RUSSIANS NOW STRONG
FOR IMMEDIATE DRIVE
PETROGRAD, June 18.
Tho Congress of Workmen and Soldiers,
with delegates from all over Russia, ap
peared certain today to sweep away tho
national power heretofore assumed by the
purely local Council of Workmen's and Sol
dlers' Deputies In Petrograd.
Most Important In this connection Is the
fact that at least two of the leading parties
composing this all-Russian Congress nre
violently opposed to discontinuance of the
war and want Russia to light at onco.
The Social-Democratic delegates to the
new organization balloted secretly Saturday
night, 75 to 55', for an offensive by Russia
at once. At the same time the Socialist
Revolutionaries voted 325 to 25 for war.
The remaining delegates to the Congress
are virtually without any particular party
affiliation, but aro tho so-called "wilds,"
They are a unit for war.
In an official debate of members today,
at which more than 500 were present, the
universal sentiment in several speeches
was that Russia should crush Germany and
fight to a finish. One speaker was cheered
when he declared that Germany should be
forced to subscribe to the "no-annexatlon"
aim of Russia.
A separate peace with Germany was not
even mentioned. In private conversation
with the delegates I was unable to And a
single one who would even spsak the words
"separate peace."
The new congress Is representative of the
whole of Russia. The Petrograd Council
has only eight votes out of the 19,000 rep
resented at the meeting. '
For this reason It seems almost certain,
In the view of observers here, that the
Petrograd Council, which arrogated to it
self almost national authority, will lose
all its Influence.
The congress. It was stated today, will
represent 25,000,000 Russian citizens. It
may appoint a special board to assist the
provisional Government.
Nicholas Tcheldze, president of the Petro
grad Council of Workmen's and Soldiers'
Deputies, has been elected unanimously
president of the national congress. Tcheidzo
is the leader of the Socialists In the Duma,
Minister of War Kerensky discarded the
pleasant phrases of oratorical persuasion to
day for iron-handed disciplinary measures
to force Russia's troops to fight.
He Issued orders depriving all deserters
from tho army of the right to vote and
from participation In the distribution of
Russian lands.
He overruled a subsidiary branch of a
local council of Workmen's and Soldiers'
Deputies In granting permission to nine
companies of sollders to leave the front.
He refused to leave a whole division
of Ukrainian troops who wanted to Journey
back home nnd attend a conference to urge
autonomy for Ukralnia.
He sponsored a Government order Issued
today making nil separate peace agitators
In the army liable to ten years' imprison
ment, "I hope I never hear of such an Incident
again." was Kerensky's short dismissal
of a request from a committee of soldiers,
approved by tho Workmen's and Soldiers'
Council of the city of Bulgulma for leave
for nine companies of soldiers. Moreover,
he ordered Immediate arrest of the soldiers'
committee.
KERENSKY GAINING STRENGTH
That Kerensky Is gaining strength In hie
efforts to make Russia fight Is evidenced
by several Incidents of the last few days,
The prlvato soldier Steppano, made fa
mous throughout Russia because Kerensky
called him a "coward" and dismissed him
from the army because of his pacifist views,
today requested permission from the Min
ister to re-enllat, go to the front and die
for Russia. Ha explained nls former views
were "because he didn't understand Rus
sia's duty."
Women of Moscow and Odessa have
formed a "legion of death" and applied
formally for permission to go to the front
and die for Russia If need be, '
Evidencing an Increasing antagonism
toward Germany one Russian newspaper to
day "played up" the recent London air
raid as "proof of Qerman inhumanity."

U. S. Lets 34 New
Shipping Contracts
Continued from I'iiico One
Ing on a "reasonable price" for steel plates
and shapes
The price determined upon expected
within a few days will. If approved by the
President, bo the one protected by tho Ship
ping Hoard In steel-ship construction.
if prices are not agreed to by tho steel
companies agreeable to President Wilson,
tho Government has the authority now to
commandeer all ttcel products nnd If neces
sary tho plants turning them out.
Reports of threatened high prices In steel
for tho Government grew out of tentative
agreement reached between General Goc
thnli and steel concern for certain con
tracts for ships Those contracts prolded
that the Government pay approximately $85
a ton for steel plates while the navy Is pay
ing only about J60 a ton
G0ETHALS EXPLAINS
Goethnls explained the situation, however,
today as follows:
"The agreement to pay four nnd one-half
cents a pound for Meel plates and three and
one-half cents for steel shapes wns ono
previously reached by a Los Angeles firm
with a steel company at Illrmlngham, Ala.
The figures were taken merely aj a work
ing basis for other construction plans, but
no other contracts have been let on that
basis.
"Tho question of steel prices has been
left entirely to the raw materials commit
tee of the advisory council of tho Council
of National Defense. They will determine
what Is a fair price I will not assume that
responsibility. Their prices will bo the onef
used by us In our contracts.
"If the tentative arrangement to furnish
steel at four and one-half cents for plates
and three and one-half cents for shapes Is
found by the committee to bo too high, the
figure will be reduced In tho contract. If
It li found too low, we will pay the differ
ence." Regarding tho charge that the prices
quoted are more than those paid by the
navy for steel. General Goethals said that
tho navy Is obtaining steel now at figures
contracted for In 1916 approximately $25
a ton less than those now quoted.
MAY ALLOW 10 PER CENT PROFIT
Cost and a 10 per cent profit probably
will have to be the final basis of tcttlement
of the controversy.
The latest evidences of friction between
Major General Goethals and tho Federal
Shipping Board growing out of tho refusal
of Chairman William Denman, of the board,
to sign contracts for construction on a baRls
of $95 a ton have emphasized to officials
hero the necessity of legislation which will
give the President complete power to com
mandeer steel and to fix the price that will
be paid for it It Is understood todav that
the President Is making a careful Investiga
tion of the entire question and that he will
take steps at once to end tho friction and
restore harmony between General Goethals
and the board.
The position of Chairman Denman Is that
the steel corporation and its auxiliaries
are gouging the Government He flatly de
clared today that under no circumstances
will he consent to the payment of high
prices for the product of the big mill'?. Con
tracts already let have been on a basis of
approximately $56 a ton after having been
sent back for revision by Mr. Denman when
first submitted at a much higher rate.
President Wilson considered tho situation
sufficiently serious to forget for tho moment
the food fight to call Chairman William
Denman to the White House for npi-Konni
conference. General Goethals tried to get a
hearing from the President today also, but
previous engagements took up the Presl-
uems scneauio completely.
Goethals, It was declared by a high offl
clal today. Is dissatisfied with his position
as general manager of tho Emergency Fleet
Corporation under Chairman Denman.
i
LOCAL EXPERT RAPS
STAND OF DENMAN
The action of William Denman, chairman
of the United States Shipping Hoard. In
threatening to hold up the contracts for
new steel ships was characterized as "narrow-minded
and unpatriotic" by the presi
dent of a large manufacturing concern In
this city.
This concern Is ono of the largest buy
ers of steel In the country, and It Is now
paying $224 per ton for the same material
offered to the Shipping Board at $95 per ton.
According to this authority, even though
tho Government wero to take over the
large steel plants it would bb Impossible
to produce these plates at less than $94
per ton. He further said:
"Denman has evidently spoken without
a knowledge of tho present condition of the
steel market. Such ungrounded objections
as his tend to Injure big business, and
therefore the country at large."

"Congress must choose," Lever declared,
In opening the momcrtous debate, "between
President Wilson nnd tho German Kaiser
na to which Bhall control tho food situa
tion." At the same time Senator Simmons
journeyed to tho White House to personally
assure tho President that the Senate would
sidetrack tho war rcvenuo measure to give
tho food bill right of way. Speed Is the
thing, Simmons agreed.
JULY 1 TO BB FOOD DAY
Coincidentally with those steps, Herbert
Hoover today named Sunday, July 1, as
food conservation day, when ho urged that
newspapers, magazines, ministers, fraternal
organizations, motion picture theatres, bill
board owners, etc , join In a nation-wide
campaign to "awaken the American house-
wlce to her opportunity and duty."
In tho campaign, by which Hoover hopes
to save $2,000,000,000 annually through
elimination of wasto In the kitchen alone,
all summer schools will bo utilized. Through
summer schools alone Hoover expects to
educate 250,000 housewives In the art of
saving.
Specially directed campaigns are to be
mado In hotels, railroad dining cars, cafes
and all manner of public eating places.
Hoover pointed out today that "If only
two cents Is saved on every meal, an annual
saving of another $2,000,000,000 equal to
tho Liberty Loan will havo been saved to
this nation and her allies."
STATE COUNCILS TO AID
As much as possible of the work will be
turned over to the State defense councils
co-operating with the national council. Co
operating In this work, the women's commit
tee of the National Defense Council todav
telegraphed each of its forty-eight State
divisions, "Get behind Hoover."
Tho Agricultural Department also "got
behind" today when Carl Vrooman ar
ranged an Itinerary to visit the great
farming States of the Middle and Far West
next month to launch a marketing cam
paign for the props that will then bo "In
harvest" Better prices to tho farmer and
fairer prices to the housewife will be
Vrooman's Blogan. Middlemen regardless
who do not Bhow the "proper spirit" will
be relentlessly crushed, Vrooman declared.
VOTE BY END OF WEEK
Chairman Lever, In calling up his bill,
announced that night sessions would be In
order to expedite the bill to a vote by the
end of the week. The present plan Is to
recess each afternoon at 6:J0 o'clock until
8 o'clock, when the evening sessions will
be commenced.
Pleading for the enactment of the meas
ure, he denounced vigorously "the heartless,
unpatriotic Intermediaries who rob and
gouge the farmers." "A loose-Jointed, unor
ganized democracy," he said, "haBn't a ghost
of u chance In a contest with such an autoc
racy as Germany's organization.
"Organization "is the only weapon with
whicn organization can be overcome. An
organization, as the term Is used here,
means not only whipping Into shape the
man and money power of the nation, but
every resource of the nation which may be
used In the contest. The people are not
going to be satisfied with silly excuses
about delegation of autocratic powers,"
Mr. Lever read a tetter from a Philadel
phia womaa "TJiere are no cheap cuts of
meat in Philadelphia today," it said. "A
shin of beef Is twenty-two cents a pound."
"Do you know what a shin of beef Is?"
he asked, "It doesn't have enough meat on
It to feed a chicken. Think of It! twenty
two cents a pound for a soup bone, Good
men and women are close to desperation.
Twenty-two cents a pound boup bones mokes
dangerous men and women out or ordinarily
peaceful citizens."
'That some kind of food and fuel con
trol Is necessary to their most efficient
mobilization is imperative.
"We Intend to drive from established
agencies of distribution the market manipu
lator and gambler, the man who buys as
cheaply as he can and sells as dearly as
he may the Shylock of commerce.
"We must."
Lever declared the United States muat
help feed 130,000,000 persons In addition to
Its own. "No honest business man," he
said, "would suffer.
"It Is the crook that shall suffer." he
said, "and it Is the crook, the unpatriotic
the selfish and greedy .that we ar6 after."

PARIS, Juno 18.
With tho spirit of revolution seething n
Snaln a movement has been started there to

from Madrid today. These stated that the
monarchist reform party, headed by Scnor
Alvarez, has openly declared In favor of a

Whllo present Indications nro that th

permission to form committees of defense,
than trouble came from another direction.
Deputies representing the Republicans, So

meeting and decided upon a coalition. At
the same time It was stated that an anti.
monarchist manifesto would be Issued.
A serious labor situation exists. In many
sections of Spain Industries are tied up by
strikes. In nddltlon to this, food Is very
scarce and prices are exceedingly high.
