Shortly after 3 o'clock Smith was arraigned before United States Com missioner Long at the Federal Building and held in $3000 ball for a further hearing next Friday. Two charges are lodged against Smith by the Federal authorities. The first accused him of impersonating a United States Govern r"rnt 'filcinl and the second charges that he is a violator of the Harrison drug act. Indignation prevails among members of the women's auxiliary of the Calvary Lu theran Church, Forty-first street and Man tua avenue, today, a3 a result of the dli closurcs In connection with the arrest of "Dr" Edgar Franklin Smith, thirty-five years eld. 2127 North Eighth street, who Is described by the police as a "pseudo Bed Cross worker " Smith was held under $800 ball for court by Magistrate Watson at Central Station today. The arrest of Smith, who, according to tho police, was arrested In this city two years ago for pract clng pharmacy without a license, came about while he was trying, It Is alleged, to form a company of 600 i Philadelphia women as Red Cross nurses Many of the women who had hoped to Join Smith's company are members of the Cal vary Lutheran Church, according to the Rev James M. Twcedaie, pastor of the church In maklnir his selections. "Doctor" Smith said that he only wanted women for nursing who were between the nges of six teen and thirty-five, Mr. Tweedale asserted. Mrs. Buckson, mother of Miss Buckson, who Is seventeen years old. today said that her daughter became acquainted with Smith through a girl friend. Miss Buckson. who at one time took up nursing at the Poly clinic Hospital, was not at home. Her mother said that tho family had no fault to find with Smith "My daughter met Mr. Smith through a girl friend," said Mrs Buckson. "Later Mr. Smith held a meeting at our home which was attended by nine young women who are members of the church. Mr. Smith charged my daughter fifty cents for Initiation and eighty cents for books. He told us that If we didn't pay the $1.35 now the price would be boosted to J6. Mr. Smith never gave any treatment to my daughter." Detectives working on the Smith case say that one of the young women wha had agreed to go along with the expedition was Miss Hilton. According to the police Doctor Smith had proposed marriage to Miss Hil ton, telling her that the best place to spend a honeymoon was on the battlefields where American soldiers might be wounded. SUSPITCTED POWDERS When arrested Smith had In his possession several bottles of powder which police say was a drug of the narcotic grade, and also a satchel containing hypodermic needles. The police allege that whenever Smith selected a candidate he would Inject nar cotics Into the candidate's arms, telling her that he was adopting that treatment to drive away any chances of the future nure of becoming afflicted with typhus. Attired in good clothe Smith made his appearanco at the Hilton home several days ago, It Is asserted. According to detectives he represented himself as being connected with the Southeastern Chapter of the American National Red Cross. He Is said also to have produced a card of that or ganization, signed by Robert U. Patterson, a Major of the Medical Corps of the United States Army. Police believe that Smith stole the card and filled In his name. He also had a card stating that ho was a mem ber of the Philadelphia Home Defense Re servo and that his headquarters were at the Twelfth Police District, police say. It la charged that this card also was obtained by Smith through misrepresentation. WANTED 600 RED CROSS NURSES "I have been delegated to organize a company of 600 women Into Red Cross nurses," Smith Is quoted an saying. After examining Miss Hilton, the police say that he stated shi would have to undergo a certain treatment. For this treatment, the police say. Smith charged $1.30. He also promised Miss Hilton, the police say, a salary of $60 to $80 a month. When Miss Hilton agreed to go to France, Smith began to call on Miss Hilton every afternoon, police say Miss Hilton claims that Smith would prescribe treat ment to her and give her medicine. Re cently. she became suspicious When Smith was arrested and questioned by Detectives Beckman and Freund, he Is said to have admitted that he had been canvassing young women to Join his Red Cross expedition. He refused to say where he had obtained his card from the Red Cross. Then, smilingly, he admitted that he had also tried to Interest several women members of the Calvary Lutheran Church, according to detectives. The Rev. Mr. Tweedale. at his home, 1730 Marlton street, said today that Smith had J ueen jniruuuccu iu many oi me women at that church recently by Mies May Buckson, qf 4317 Otter street REPUDIATED BY MINISTER "I had no part tn organizing women members of our church Into a Red Cross brigade," asld the Rev, Mr. Tweedale. "Miss Buckson was one of the young women who expressed a desire to Join the company of nurses. 'The last time I taw this .fellow Smith was last Wednesday evening, after the proyer. services. .He was discussing his proposition with several of the women and had told them It would be necessary for each lady to give him $1.30. "Just what the $1.30 was for I don't know., Many of the women In our church wers very enthusiastic about becoming Red Cross nurses. But there was one peculiar feature about the entire proposition that did not appeal to me and that was that Smith insisted that only ladles between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five could qualify. "If this man Is an Impostor It Is a good thing that publicity has been given to the matter, and I feel sure that -when the arrest of Smith becomes generally known women will be careful." Mr. Tweedale also said that Smith had asked that he be given a room at the church where he could conduct' his special courses. mvm 4 m. miton, nineteen years old, of w wHs WWUH MmltM BaaaaaaaaaaaauiTFtaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH I aaaaaaaaaaaaa' 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH I BaaaaaaaaaaaB''4'P?aBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaB R atlV I ...

She submitted to physi cal examinations In the presence of her mother, she continued, and wns pronounced physically fit with the exception of weak lungs, which Smith said ho could euro If she would submit to hl3 treatment She said his conduct was that of a gentleman and her mother ronflrnied thin.

Detective Freund on the stand, said that ho wuuia produce nine young ladles of the Calvary Lutheran Church who hail met Smith In various ways. Attorney Lipchutz, couni;l for Smith, objected to the lack of evidence and the re quest to continue tho hearing that other witnesses might be heard. He character ized It as "reprehensible to the fundamental principles of law " Magistrate Watson agreed and ordered the case to court.
