SENATORS‘RAZZ’ DAWES FOR MOVE TO CHANGE RILES Even Republicans Fail vto Rally to Support of Vice President, i * Bu United Pre WASHINGTON, March s.—Resentment over demand of Vice President Dawes in his Inaugural speech that the Senate revise its historic rules broke out on the floor* when the upper house convened in special session today. With Dawes personally in the chair. Senators Reed, Missouri, and A s h u r at, Arizona, Democrats, ‘‘razzed’’ the Vice President on points of personal privilege, although they were not able to make speeches of condemnation because there was no official business before the Senate. Journal Held Up Reed held up the formal reading of the Journal of Wednesday's proceedings—containing the inaugural address by Dawes—so he could *‘inspect It.” Ashurst cai’ed attention to critical comment in the newspers, and said: "The criticism I made of the new Vice President was because of his unseemly and unkind Interruption while the oaths of new Senators were being administered.’* Ashurst referred to Dawes’ action In calling all new Senators up together for swearing In, Instead of In the customary blocks of four. Ever. Republicans Even Republican leaders failed to rally to Dawes’ proposal that the Senate rules be changed to expedite business. Senator Charles E. Curtis, Republican floor leader, and Senators Smoot, Utah! Moses, New Hampshire, and Jones, Washington, are uiianimous that it would be impossible to carry out Dawes’ suggestion. They pointed out that the Idea had been advanced many times In recent years.

ONLY TWO BILLS IN PROGRAM OE PRESIDENT PASS |/ • ( Session Just Ended Fails to Carry Out Plans, of Coolidge. Bu ifnited Prets WASHINGTON. March 6.—The smoke of battle cleared away from the halls of Congress today, revealing casualties to most of the President's legislative program. Out of a score of domestic recommendations made by Coolidge to the short session of the Sixty-Eighth Congress, two became a law. These bills provided for relief of the Supreme Court Jam and partial correction of election laws. Groundwork Laid Administration leaders claimed, however, that a groundwork had been well laid and that every feature of the Coolidge program has been molded.into tentative legislation to come before Congress next December—or possibly liefore a special session in September or earlier. The only outstanding pieces of legislation were the postal bill Increasing the salaries of postal workers by $68,000,000 a year and Increasing postal revenues by $60,000,000 and the measure Increasing the pay of Congressmen from $7,500 to SIO,OOO. Muscle Shoals, the first major legislation requested by the President, was allowed to die In conference after consuming more time than any other bill. No Farm Relief Farm relief, the moet emphasized of the President’s suggestions, was totally ignored. Other bills proposed by the President which failed to get farther than the oflor of Congress provided for; x Railway consolidation, change of administration of the shipping board, prison reform, creation of a national police bureau, incorporation of "humane" features lq the Immigration law, creation of national negro commission, reorganization of Government departments, adherence to the world court, codification of international law, alteration of the veteran's act and extensive reclamation projects.

ROAD INQUIRY TO BE CARRIED ON

(Continued From Page One) ceny, and William C. Whaley, 61 Kenmore Rd., former Goldberg employe, charged with grand larceny. Whaley Provides Bond Whaley provided his bond of $4,000 at the office of Sheriff Omer Hawkins at 6:30 Wednesday evening. He Is held on SI.OQO bonds on each of four grand larceny indictments. Bond was signed by John A. Hook, president Hook Drug Company. Crawford and the Goldbergs were released Wednesday under bond soon after their arrest by the sheriff. Prosecutor Remy said the allegaagainst the six persons indicted are specific cases in which the grand Jurors charged Irregularity In the sale of war materials. Disclosed in 1922 The sale of the surplus war material has been a topic of discussion since June, 1922, when The Indianapolis Times called attention to what was going on. At that time it was learned that the State highway commission was receiving from the Department of Agriculture large quantities of sur plus war materials, ostensibly to aid the State in building roads. The highway commission is said to have obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars worth (at original cost prices) of suVplus materials, much of it of a nature which by the widest stretch of imagination could not be used In building roads. Under the arrangement the State was permitted to dispose of such materials as It could not use. Sale Not Advertised It la charged that instead of advertising for bids on these surplus materials the highway commission deliberately turned it over to the Goldbergs at prices the Goldbergs were willing to pay. The ten indictments charging grand larceny and embezzlement list a total of $19,072.50 as the known value of the materials upon which the tSate suffered loss. Three hundred pounds of miscellaneous materials the value of which was un known also are listed. Prosecutor Remy said that this sum was not to be taken as the total of transactions between the highway officials and the Goldbergs, but only the value in the particular Instances which the grand Jury chose to bring the Indictments upon. legislators Desist Meanwhile the legislative sub-com-mittee which has been inquiring Into State highway affairs has decided to go no further, on the ground that the) grand Jurp action precluded necessity for additional Inquiry. The indictment of the highway officials just at a time when the Kissinger bill which provides for abolishing the highway commission Is up for consideration, took the edge off interest In appointment of appropriation conference committee and led to all sorts of rumors of political lobbying about the Statehouse. Supporters of the highway commission contend the indictments are the result of political rancor pushed by the Republican State committee, which Is said to desire new personnel on the commission, In an effort to discredit the commission. Others, however, declare such action will either tend *to prove or disprove rumors of irregularities. Remy denied that there was ans arrangement with the legislative Investigating committee on pdlltlclans. Remy said he and Daniel White, assistant, and Claude M. Worley, Investigator, had presented the evidence to the Jurors and left it to them whether they would return indictments or not. * English Discount Rate Set Bv United Pent LONDON, March 6.—The Bank of England today fixed its discount rata at 6 per cent.

STOKES DEFENSE IS GIVEN BLOW ((Vm tin ned From Page One) Hirf massive head nodded drowsily, but he took advantage of his position occasionally to whisper jokingly to court reporters and to smile graciously to some of the women newspaper reporters that he recognized. Court Jammed The court was Jammed with eager spectators, attracted by the "spice” of Wednesday afternoon’s testimony/ when Stores described certain alleged Indiscretions on the part of his wife. Hundreds who sought admission were turned away by uniformed police officers. < When today’s session developed Into a legal contest, however, many ol| the court fans left in disappointment. Mrs. Stokes, who Is pressing the charges against her aged husband for “the sake of the womanhood of America," has quit attending courf^. The testimony which Stokes was asked to give dealt with what Kubicke told hiih of Mrs. Stokes. Attorney Charles Rathbun explained In the absence of the Jury that Kubicke, as chauffeur for S Montgomery Roosevelt, a New York artist, had driven Mrs. Stokes about New York, leaving her frequently at cabarets, roadhouses and apartments of uncertain reputation. At no time, Rathbun said, was Mrs. Stokes in the company of her husband, but always with other men. Another Time Stokes Is said to have learned through Kubicke that his wife was found in Roosevelt’s studio on one occasion, attired only In a corset and stockings. Stokes investigated rumors that his wife was a notorious oharacter—not because of a conspiracy to defame'her—but for the protection of his two children, he testified. Dramatizing his testimony with motions and emphasizing the portions he considered Important, Stokes described his visits to Chicago and his efforts to ascertain whether Helen had been, before her marriage, an Inmate of the notorious Everleigh Club In the vice colony. “When did you come to Chicago?” his attorney asked. “On Sept. 20, 1)20,” Stokes replied. "Why Oil you come?"' "To investigate ugly rumors .1 had heard in New York about my wife. I did it for the protection of my two children.” , “Mr. Earle” Stokes then went carefully over his activities, explaining that he assumed the name of "Mr. Earle while visiting vice resorts In efforts to learn if his wife had been known as an inmate. He said he found that "Helen Underwood” had been married to Homer Castle, a wealthy young farmer living near Kankakee, 111. He went to Kankakee, interviewed Castle, and gained an admission that he had married a young woman of the vice colony resembling Mrs. Stokes. OaaUa told him the woman had

LONDON STIRRED BY TALE NAMING BRITISHGENERAL Woman Suing ex-Husband Involves Dead World War Hero, Bu United Prc * LONDON, March s.—Trial of the Dennistoun scandal which already has dragged in the name of the late General Sir John Stevens Oowans, quartermaster of the British armies during the World War, has aroused popular interest equalling that In the case of thd mysterious "Mr. A," which rocked the capital a few weeks ago. Mrs. Dennistoun named the General as the man with whom she lived at her husband’s suggestion that he might gain preferment in military service. Mrs. Dennistoun denied on the witness stand she had had illicit relations with another man a few weeks after her marriage. She also denied allegations she had attempted to extort money from Lady Carnarvon, widow of the discoverer of King Tut’s tomb and now the wife of her divorced husband. In cross-examination concerning the extortion charges, it was disclosed that Dennistoun, before his marriage to the countess, frequently was “In a starving” condition and Tan errands for friends on promise of free meals, while since his marriage his bank account onca totaled $500,000. Mrs. Dennistoun, a i>etlt blonde, told In detail her love affair with General Cowans, who la described by biographers as "the best quartermaster since Moses,” because of the part he played in organizing the Army transport system during the war. The ex-wife Is Buing for $6,000, which she says she loaned her divorced husband after receiving It from the general as a gift. deserted him and returned to vice, Stokes testified. ” A young negro girl, who had frequently dressed Mrs. Stoke’s hair, told him “Helen Underwood” of vice fame and Mrs. Stokes were one and the same person, Stokes said. The aged hotel proprietor leaned far over in his chair and talked directly to the jury, pujictuating his testimony with motions and outbursts of loud speech. Then he leaned back occasionally, played with his thumbs and smiled knowingly at his attorney. There was but one spectacular passage in the testimony of the tired and elderly man yVednesday. It was when Stokes pictured a bedroom scene in his wife’s New York apartment, in which figured Hal Billig, a young man whom Mrs. Stokes explains Is her cousin. “I entered my wife's bedroom and found her clad in a corset and stockings,” Stokes testified. "She went into the bathroom and I looked around the room and found Billig in a closet. “I ran from the room, and I never saw him again," the testimony continued. “But right then and there I told my wife that I was suspicious of her actions. That was on New Year’s eve, 1919. The next day 1 left, and I have never since spoken to her.” He added that “Mrs. Stokes had a habit of running around the house in hegligee—when Hal was there.” That was the main point in Stokes’ story of the afternoon, but he gave further facts designed to show that his married life with- the titlanhalred music student from Denver had not been uneventful. There was, he said, an argument over the question of renting an apartment on Fifth Ave. for $25,000 annually. "I told her that I could not afford It," Stokefe testified. "When I went to put on my coat, she attacked me, hitting me and scratching me in the face. I bear two scars from that episode to this day. She then went and got a butcher knife and chased me out of the apartment.”
