Tracy Lloyd George Again? One Mother’s Answer Into the North More Air Service

By M. E. Tracy Every crisis in human affairs, no matter how big comes to hinge on individual leadership. If the British strike continues long enough, each side will develop a leader. If it is settled, it will be because both sides find it possible to rally around some medlat There is no man in England better qualified to play the latter role than David Lloyd George and it is not surprising to hear him mentioned for it. Lloyd George Is a born opportunist, one of those alert, adaptable persons, who can grasp a critical situation quickly and wiggle out of it j without worrying too much about the moral, or lasting qualities of the remedy. tt was this trait that made him so effective during the war and that hurled him Into obscurity afterward. When England found herself Immobile through partisan politics and official Incompetence it was Lloyd George who ljlt on the Idea of a coalition cabinet and made It work. When the coalition was threat ened with defeat as the war drew to a dose It was Lloyd George who saved tt by proclaiming that Germany would pay all the bills. Who knows but Ills peculiar talents may come to aid again, to the extent of a temporary respite, at least. + •!* -IWhat should a mother do when she finds herself dying far out on a desert with two babies whose fate will be slow starvation?

It has ono side which Is more interesting If not quite so reassuring. The hoys don't know what they will find and neither did Columbus when he sailed west. But Columbus found a lot, though it was oontrary to his promises and expectations, Rnd who knows but they will? Who knows but the cold and frozen north contains invaluable sections?

Not ala Mitchell, you understand, or under a Cabinet minister, but with plenty of ships and men. More than 2,000 fighting planes within five years and 17,000 boys to run them —not so bad. We shall continue to talk dlsar mament, of course, and attend a conference now and then, perhaps, and take a chance of being traded out of our eye teeth. We may agree to scrap a few more battleships for the sake of harmony and a cruiser or two If they are obsolete enough, but the air—well, that Is something else. We have been hackward In the air, thanks to a little scandal, a little politics and a little strain of pacifism, but we are waking up. Nothing much stands in the way of a real air service right now except the Administration's economy bug, and that seems content to buzz in the bonnet of the White House spokesman.

Early today a United Press correspondent In Edinburgh telephoned that a total of nineteen arrests had been made following minor disturbances.

VOTE FRAUD TRUE BILLS ANTICIPATED Enough Evidence to Indict Three Men, Says Prosecutor. JURY RESUMES QUIZ ‘Repeating’ Most Prevalent Offense. Enough evidence has been presented to the Marion County grand Jury to indict at least three men of election fraud and send them to the penitentiary. Prosecutor William H. Remy declared today. The grand Jury resumed Its election Investigation (his morning with Deputy Prosecutor William H. Hhaeffer In charge. Forty witnesses have appeared before the Jury, he said. Repeating Charged "Repeating" was the most prevalent fraud, he said. Several persons transported groups of persons in autos from one precinct to another so they could vote a number of times, according to Shaeffer. Precinct election officials, defeated candidates for precinct committeemen and election Inspectors have testified before the grand Jury In the Investigation. In addition a number of affidavits have been received from the Marlon County Voters' League charging exclusion of their representatives'from the polls when the vote was being counted. Action Next Week The grand Jury probably will not return any Indictments until Monday or Tuesday, Hhaeffer said. Complaints, he said, were received from practically every but the Investigation was centered on activities in the Seventh, Fifth and Second. Indictments returned will be for violation of the -abrupt practices act. Schaeffer said. Those found guilty can be sentenced to serve two years, he said. All Precinct* In Returns from all precincts havo been received by election commissioners, the lust one coming in early this morning: Canvassing board officials, many of whom have been working steadily with only time off to eat since Tuesday morning, were still compiling the totals. The official totals were not expected to be ready until late today or Saturday. "Without a doubt this has been the cleanest primary in years,” Remy said. "AVith the exception of one certain ward and a few scattered precincts, the voters and workers at the polls conducted the balloting In a proper and lawful manner." Remy asserted he was much Interested In a downtown ward where he received a majority of the votes. "I told the voters before the primary that I did not want any of the votes of the bootleggers and others who live by violating the law. If they think by putting me over In their ward with a large number of votes thdy can keep me quiet, they are mistaken.” he said.

HARRY M. DAUGHERTY INDICTED IN PLOT TD DEFRAUD GOVERNMENT

Charges Follow Probe of Alien Property Custodian’s Office. $391,000 FEE INVOLVED Thomas W. Miller and John T. King Also Accused. Hti 1 nitrd t'ress NEW YORK. May 7.—Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general In the Cabinet of President Harding, today was Indicted by a Federal grand Jury here on charges of conspiracy to defraud the Government. The Indictment was returned in connection with the investigation of the affairs of the office of alien property custodian during the time Thomas W. Miller was custodian. With Daugherty, Miller and John T. King, former Republican national committeeman from Connecticut, also were indicted. Specifically, the Indictment charges Daugherty, Miller and King conspired to return to German and Swiss owners *7,000,000 of stock and assets of the American Metals Company which had been seized as alien property during the war. Specific Charge The Indictment reads that the three allegedly conspired to "defraud the Government of Us rlghtff and functions” as distinguished from an Indictment charging fruud involving property. The reason Ilea In the fact that the German property held by the alien property custodian was not considered actually to be government property. The Indictment alleges a "fee of *391,000" was paid In connection with the returns of the assets. The indictment does not directly say who ultimately received the *391.000 “fee," but it is alleged to have been paid In 1921 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York by representatives of the German and Swiss concerns. Jess Smith, the mysterious figure who was dose to Daugherty during ihe time Daugherty was attorney general and who later committed suicide, is said to have received the money. The indictment supercedes one returned a few months ago In the same case In which Miller and several German and Swiss bankers and corporations were charged with conspiracy. In the previous Indictment King was mentioned, but no charge was made against him and the name of Daugherty did not appear. That Indictment was returned after weeks of investigation here, during which King was said to have been a star witness. German Is Witness Later Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Thompson went to Germany and Richard Morton, a banker of Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, who was one of those indicted, returned here with him. The Investigation was reopened. Morton was a leading witness and It was reported today that In return for hts testimony the Indictment against him, his brother and the German and Swiss interests Involved, will be vacated entirely. Before Grand Jury The grand jury's Investigation has been surrounded by the deepest secrecy. It was known, however, that Daugherty was examined. For a time he refused to testify on the ground that he might incriminate himself. Later, however, under heavy pressure, he became a witness. Roxie Stinson, the wife of Jesse Smith, who figured so largely in the Washington senatorial Investigation of the Department of Justice, was another witness. So was Gaston Means, former Government agent, who also figured in the senatorial inquiries and in other cases. Daugherty, appointed by President Harding, served under President Coolldge for a short time after the death of Mr. Harding. Then came the senatorial In* vestigatlon and the department of Justice: bringing before the public the names of Jess Smith and Roxie Stinson; causing a nation-wide furor. Resigns Daugherty, resigned. John T. King and Thomas Miller, were Important figures In the Chicago convention, which nominated AA r arren G. Harding for President. King was recently Indicted here for alleged Irregularities In making income tax returns. "NOT APPREHENSIVE" Daugherty Not Worried Over New York Indictment. Hv United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, May ,7.—Former Attorney JJeneral Harry M. Daugherty today said he is “not apprehensive over his Indictment in New York.” Daugherty was unaware of the Indictment until informed at his law offices here. “The case upon which the Indictment is based was decided nearly five years ago by a division in the Department of Justice regularly authorized to pass upon claim* of this oharaoter,” j Daugherty asserted.
