COX TO PLACE COUNTRY UNDER BUDGET SYSTEM Says Feder&l Government Can Not Be Conducted in Haphazard Way. POLICY IS OUTLINED NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Reorganisation of the existing departments of the Government under a specific budget plan will be effected by Governor Cox. in the event of his election to the presidency. This assurance Is given by him in a letter to Edgar B. Davis, a New York student of business organization, in reply to a questionnaire sent to him by Mr. Davis, containing certain specific questions as to what course the Governor would pursue, If he is elected, with respect to all matters, x -The Federal Government,” Governor Cox's letter says, ‘‘is the greatest business in the country and cannot be permitted to continue in haphazard fashion.” Mr. Davis sent a similar questionnaire to Senator Harding, but there has been no reply to i^. Governor Cox’s letter, taking up the questions in order, la as foUows: My Deer Mr. Davis—Although few speeches have been made by me which do not "contaia direct answer to all of your questions, I am assuming that you want the replies in order as the questions are presented. 1. No one imagines that it will be possible for either Republicans or Democrats to secure two-thirds majority of the Senate, necessary to wield the treaty making power vested in the Senate utfder the Constitution of the United States. At the same time it is to be remembered that a victory for the League of Nations Is not be considered a partisan victory in any senae, and no senator elected at this time will fall to recognize the mandate of his country. The entire difficulty with the situation for the past eighteen months has been that a partisan conspiracy was formed to make political a question that never should have been in politics. 2. There should be scarce consideration for the entrance of America into any new association of nations. In the first place the League of Nations is a going concern with- fortythree members, who have obligated themselves to undertake no new undertakings or associations with other nations inconsistent with the provisions of the League of Nations. A separate peace with Germany would have to be undertaken as a part of a program of isolation. In my opinion there will be, under anv circumstances, a sufficient number of'Senators, both Republican and Democrats, who are opposed to such a plan to prevent its adoption. 3. In my every adress T have stated not only that it was little les* than a crime that tDe T-eague *f Nations should have been made a political I issue, bait also that if I am elected ; the treaty will be ratified. I propose to call into conference the members of the Senate; to accept suggestions from them, from Mr. Wilson. I from Mr. Taft, from Mr. Root from any one who comes forward with sincere purpose to clarify any questions that are In doubt to reassure our own people and to make certain to our associates the restriction of our Constitution, beyond

which the treaty-making power cannot go. 4. I know thaty as a result of our failure to make a legal peace in the past that we do face an industrial crisis, and unless within a year we become a member of the League of Nations we are going to suffer reverses such as the country has never seen, and at a time when we should be enjoying greatest prosperity.” 5. I have advocated, do favor and have in mind the reorganisation of Governmental departments under a specific budget plan. The Federal Government is the grealest business of the country and cannot be permitted to continue In haphazard fashion. 6.

LINGENFELTER TALK REFUSES TO BE HUSHED (Continued Frtm Page One.) gated and found there was not sufficient evidence tO \hold the man. "8o far as me being ln any way connected with the matter, I know nothing more about It than you do.” Regardless of the very apparent desire on the part of administration members to forget the release of Roy Llngenfelter, the public refuses to be satisfied with the statement of the grand jury that there was not enough evidence produced before it to justify an indictment. Letters condemning the lack of action 6n the part of the county authorities continue to come to The Times. Discussion of the case is general ln the Srato. WHAT DISCUSSION HAS BROUGHT OUT. Out t of the stories told by persons familiar with the episode, it has been established : 1. That Roy Lingenfeltcr assaulted a little girl several years ago and was convicted on the charge of assault and battery, the Intent charge having been dropped. 2. His sentence was suspended while Joseph T. Markey was Judge oi Criminal Court. 3. He was caught with little girts by citizens, who held him until he was turned over to the police. 4. He stated to police and reporters that he had attacked more little girls than he could remember. 5. He repeated this statement before a roll call of policemen at the police station. 6. Joseph T. Markey sought to hare the parents of girls Lingenfelter had enticed, or attacked, agree to permit him to enter the Navy without prosecution. 7. Judge Walter Pritchard of City Court refused to listen to such an arrangement and bound Lingenfelter over to the grand Jury. 8. The grand jury considered hie case and, without calling a number of known witnesses against him, recommended bis release. 9. A storm of criticism was followed by a second investigation by the grand Jury, personally conducted by Prosecutor Claris Adams, which resulted in a second recommendation for the release of Lingenfelter and a statement from the grand Jurors that “the evidence adduced did not support the facts.” 10. Lingenfelter, within three day* of the time he was released from Jail, applied for re-enlistment ln the Navy, Incorporating hi hla application the statement that he has ‘never been arrested.” Some powerful influences Interfered with the bringing to trial of Roy Lingenfelter. whose own statements, corroborated by the circumstances of his arrest were sufficient to have Justified an indictment and trial of him on a charge of assault and bztterjr with Intent to commit a felony. Frank C. Lingenfelter, city engineer. denies absolutely that he took any part ln the arrangements by which Roy Lingenfelter was freed of

He also states that he does not regard the report that Roy Lingenfelter is his cousin, and that he refused to be a bondsman for Roy Lingepfelter as “any affair” of the public. In the meanwhile no one has yet come forth with -an explanation of why -'Hoy Lingenfelter received such privileged treatment at the hands of the “good government” administration.
