STARTLING NEW CHARGES FLUNG AT VICE SQUAD Acuna, Stool Pigeon, Again Tells of New York ‘Frameups.’ BY PAUL W. WHITE United Pres* Staff Correipondcnt NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Chile Acuna, the sleek little stool pigeon Mth a remarkable memory and nc love for his one-time allies, the po- ' .ce, regained th e spotlight in municipal scandals Thursday with fresh charges against four more members of the vice squad* The business of framing women, Acuna testified, was onrried to such an extreme that he even was engaged to lure "a high-class woman who could produce some money" -from one side of the city to another so officers could make arrests in the proper jurisdiction. Announcement also was made that mother policeman, the nineteenth m three weeks, had been suspended is a result of Acuna’s allegations of rraft and perjury in vice cases against women, many of whom, Acuna says, were innocent. Nor were the police the only representatives of officialdom made anxious by ’the day’s developments. Reports v.-ere current, even though denied later, that two magistrates! would resign rather than have their j fitness for the bench examined by; the appellate division. Acuna was called to the stand against policemen John Stiglin, i John p. Drake, Peter F. Lans and' George Treubert and dug anew into,

NEWEST BRITISH FLEET TO VISIT AMERICAN NAVY U. S. Boats’ Courtesy Call on Scotland a Year Ago to Be Returned, BY MILTON BROXNER, NEA Service Writer LONDON, Dec. 10. When next February the best ships in the Atlantic squadron of the American navy are engaged in their annual spring exercises off Colon, the Atlantic entrance to the, Panama canal, there will be present a great, gray, grim-looking battleship, the Nelson, bigger and more powerful than anything Uncle Sam possesses. It will be there not in anger, not to spy, but in friendship. In fact, at the express invitation of the American government. For this British ship will be present to return a. courtesy call paid to Scotland last summer by the American battleships Utah, Florida and Arkansas, The British admiralty recently decided to send a u ladron of its newest ships from its Atlantic forces to show the flag in West Indian waters. Therefore, it was decided .that the Nelson, Rodney, Hawkins, York, Dorsetshire, Norfolk and Adventure, under Admiral Sir Michael Hodges, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, should visit Jamaica, Barbadoes, Trinidad and Demerara. They are to sail Jan. 8. As soon as the American government heard of this it extended a formal invitation to Admiral Hodges to .visit the American fleet

in his flagship, the Nelson. And this invitation was promptly accepted, His host will fc Admiral J. V. Chase, in charge of the American fleet off Colon. The Nelson will be of tremendous interest to the American officers, because it is a far newer and more powerful vessel than anything in the United States navy. It was completed in 1927, whereas the West Virginia was finished in 1923. The Nelson is 33,500 tons; the West Virginia 32,600. The Nelson carries nine 16-inch guns and twelve 6-inch guns. The West Virginia has eight 16-ixrch guns* and twelve 5-inch guns. The Nelson carries twenty-eight smaller guns, and the West Virginia nine. It was not many years ago that it was believed that to overcome an enemy it only was necessary to fashion a wax doll resembling him and melt it slowly before the fire, when he, too, would waste away with illness.
