BERKELEY, Aug. 8.—Admissions that he had visited the apartment of Mrs. Charlotte M Lex, former concert singer in Hollywood, while he was chief of police in Los Angeles were made today by August Vollmer in an answer to her suit for $50,000 damages. Vollmer, however, denied illicit relationship with Mrs. Lex and declared that if Mrs. Lex would agree, he would submit to examination on the lie detector, which was developed under his direction, to determine the truth of her charges. "The woman is mentally ill or is a tool of the underworld," Vollmer continued. "I visited her at her repeated invitations, made in person, by letters and telephone. When she began to evidence affection and to speak of love, I cut her cold. I knew she was mentally ill, so paid no attention to her." "It is true she met me after a lecture one night in Los Angeles and we went to the Hotel Dittimore but at her request. We went into an ante room to talk and she threatened to kill me and herself." "I told her that her love never reciprocated by me, that I was engaged and never had given her reason to believe that I returned any feeling she might have for me." BERKELEY, Aug. 8.—Assortment would establish his innocence of the charges made by Mrs. Charlotte Lex in her suit filed against him in Los Angeles, August Vollmer, chief of police, noted criminologist and former head of the Los Angeles police department, charged that suit was part of a plot of underworld interests in Los Angeles to "get" him. "The lady is either mentally unbalanced on she is the tool of the underworld of Los Angeles," Vollmer declared. "They threatened to get me shortly after my arrival in Los Angeles, and they are now apparently attempting to carry out their threat. The woman's statement as to our relationship is absolutely false. I could not have asked her to marry me under any circumstance, as I was already engaged." Vollmer declared today that he had met Mrs. Lex but four times once when she came to him with a letter of introduction from a boyhood friend, again in April and twice subsequently. The last time, he said, was here in Berkeley, when he reassumed his duties as chief of police. On this occasion, he said, she demanded "an accounting" but left when he called a police officer as a witness to what she might be.

"Strings" Attached to Evacuation of Ruhr As Outlined LONDON, Aug. 8—The question of evacuation of the Ruhr may prolong the allied reparations conference into next week.

French and Belgian experts are drawing up a new plan which gives the Germans assurances of evacuation as soon as the Dawes plan is put into effect, but, at the same time, it will demand measures of demilitarization of the "schulpo"—military police. This plan also may suggest that the British continue to occupy Cologne under a mandate from the league of nations in order to insure neutrality of the Rhine-land. Committees of experts began work early in the day on the proposals of conference committee number two—dealing with economic evacuation of the Ruhr, and number three—dealing with transfers of reparations from the Germans to the allies.
