MOORE TO GO ON STAND IN OWN BEHALF Defense Calls 15 Character Witnesses; Attack Story of Albertson. jJUDGE SLAPS WiNKLER Orders Attorney to Seat in Clash on Price Paid for Lot. Fifteen character witnesses testified for City Councilman Boynton J. Moore in Criminal Court today as he opened his defense to the State's case that he accepted a SIOO bribe to vote against the impeachment of Mayor John L. Duvall last August. Moore will take the stand in his own defense, it was announced. The councilman probably will be the last witness, his attorneys said. Attack Albertson Story First intimation of what the defense will be based on came when Fire Chief George O. Hutsell took the stand. Defense Attorney Ira M. Holmes used Hutsell to attack the probability of the story of Councilman O. Ray Albertson, whose testimony connected Moore with five bribery deals, including the one on which he is being tried. A clash between Special Judge Paul G. Davis and Defense Attorney Henry H. Winkler took place shortly before the noon recess, sharp words being used by both the court and attorney. After being ordered to take his seat, Winkler said: Rebuked Counsel Objects “I will abide by that ruling but before doing so I want to read into the record that the defense counsel objects to the ruling of the court that he take his seat without being given the opporunity to get into the record his offer of proof.” The differences arose over the admissibility of records of the county recorder showing that the $3,000 figure set by Albertson as the amount he agreed to pay for a cer--tain lot on W. Thirtieth St., which figured in one of the bribery deals, was not the figure named in the deed. Connect Moore to Klan Moore was connected with a bargain with the Ku-Klux Klan regarding city appointments for the first time today, and then the connection was merely by inference. Special Assistant Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson and Prosecutor Wil- S liam H. Remy cross-examined Charles M. Clark, 924 De Quincy St., bookkeeper in the county treasurer's office. Remy asked in effect “if it is not a matter of common knowedge end information that Boynton J. Moore, together with other councilmen, contracted in violation of the corrupt practices act of Indiana with members of the Marion County Klan No. 3 to the appointment of 85 per cent of municipal officers from the ranks of Klan No. 3, to abide by the policies of the Klan. and to accept its dictates to the exclusion of all others?” Denies Klan Bargain After argument over an objection by Holmes, which was overruled, Clark fairly shouted "No.” Other than Dr. Reid, Keeler and character witnesses today were: Gwynne F. Patterson, 2915 Washington Blvd., vice president of the Indiana Natioftal Bank; Charles M. Clark, bookkeeper in the county treasurer’s office; Godfrey C. Mack, 1842 Orange St.; Mrs. Frances Higgs, 1124 Hopkins St.; Mrs. Margaret Unversaw, 1405 Winter St.; Mrs. Mary Brade, 1548 Villa Ave.; Walter 11. Gray, city fireman, 509 N. Bosart St.; Homer Johnson, druggist, at 1415 Prospect St.; Leo P. Emmelman, president of the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company; Fred Evelyn, carpenter living near Moore on Spruce St.; Russell W. Cassady, 1128 Shelby St.; and Harry B. Dynes, conciliator of the United States Department of Labor. Armilage Sworn In One defense witness sworn in as court opened was William H. Armitage, former politicla boss, whose testimony will be used to attempt to discredit former Mayor Duvall’s, it is believed. The defense late Tuesday lost an attempt to obtain a technical acquittal for Moore. Special Judge Paul G. Davis overruled the defense's motion for an instructed verdict of not guilty.

HIT JOHN D, AS PACTBREAKER Oil King Led in Spurning Contract, Says Witness. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 21.—Companies controlled by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Charles M. Schwab took the lead in breaking w'age contracts with union miners in West Virginia, Van A. Bittner, United Mine Workers counsel, told the Senate coal investigating committee today. He said the Bethlehem Mines Corporation, dominated by Schwab, and the Consolidation Coal Company, a Rockefeller concern, abrogated the Baltimore wage agreement in 1924 and 1925, shortly after it was consummated. "These companies set the precedent for contract-breaking in West Virginia,” Bittner said. "They tried to compete by cutting costs and taking the cut from the pockets of their miners.” Schwab and Rockefeller have been subpoenaed to appeal before the committee later this week. They probably will be asked to explain why they disregarded the wage contract. MERCURY TO RISE Real Spring Day Is Promised for Thursday. Better get caught up on your work.

WINKLER TO TAKE QUIZ FOR NEW JOB

Although he failed in the examination requirements, demanded for his present position, George Winkler, deputy dry administrator here, announced today that he will take the examination for administrator of the newly created Twelfth district, consisting of Indiana and Ohio.

Walker, acting administrator for Ohio and Indiana, has been notified by the Civil Service Commission that he is ineligible for the permanent post. He has sixty days in which to appeal.

COURT BATTLE LOOMS IN ROW ON CEMETERY Steam Shovels Are Moved i to Glen Haven to Start Excavation. DENIES FORCING ACTION Company Says Plans Demand Start; City Ready + o Enforce Law. A legal battle to determine whether the Glen Haven Cemetery Association can develop its cemetery on Kessler Blvd. across north from Broadmoor Country Club in the face of an ordnance prohibiting cemeteries adjacent to park property appeared imminent today. The proposed ceintery has been a battleground ever since the first attempt to open it three years ago. Begin Construction The signs of anew fight appeared in the announcement of Merle N. A. Walker, attorney for the Glen Haven association that a contractor was moving a steam shovel to the property and probably would begin excavation for the drainage system today. This will be the first actual construction work. Upon hearing this. Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman declared; “If there Is any effort to do anything contrary to the city ordinance vve shall proceed immediately to enforce the ordinance.” Investigate Lot Sales Meanwhile, the Michigan securities commission at Lansing, Mich., had before it the question of whether Glen Haven representatives should be stopped from selling founders’ lots, sections of real estate in the cemetery, to Michigan citizens. Michigan authorities have been told that the salesmen have sold about $225,000 worth of the lots in that State. Bankers, automobile factory executives and other leading citizens have been among the purchasers. The Michigan commission has been told that the Glen Haven salesmen have painted word pictures leading prospects to believe that the cemetery already is beautifully landscaped and that some bodies have been buried in it. Find Property in Waste As the property actually stands today it is a dreary brown waste, the principal feature of w’hich is a straggly orchard. The only visible signs of “landscaping” are the ruins of the foundations of two small buildings which were moved from in front of the orchard. Walker declared today that Michigan is not the only place that founders lots have been sold. They are being sold in Indiana, too. he said. The founders lot idea, it is understood, was devised after the Indiana securities commission let it be known that it frowned upon the sale of securities because of the city ordinance. Claim Good Legal Basis “We are satisfied we are on a good legal basis,” said Walker. “There Is j no court order telling us not to be- J gin work on the cemetery and with the weather such as it is this was a propitious time to start. “We are not starting with the idea ! of forcing court action, but rather [ merely because our program has reached the point where building activity is called for. “We do not believe the ordinance is valid, because Kessler Blvd. at this point is merely a country highway, far outside city limits, and there is a decision on record holding that the city cannot call a road a boulevard under such circumstances.” Cite Crown Hill Case "If Crown Hill can develop anew addition on Maple Rd., we cannot see what possible objection there is to establishing a cemetery out in the country with the closest building a country club and that a quarter of a mile away.” The cemetery’s hectic history began when it became known as a Ku-Klux Klan backed proposition. The ordinance and the securities commission action blocked the project under its first name of Mt. Moriah Cemetery Association.

on his previous examination and his appeal has been supported by the Anti-Saloon League and other dryforces here. Since the new position is one of greater responsibility, it is considered likely that the examination will be more difficult than the one in which Winkler failed. According to United Press dispatches from Washington there have been few applications made for the Twelfth district examination, which is to be conducted by the civil service commission. All applications must be on file with the commission by April 17. The entrance salary Is from $2,00 to $6,000 a year.

COUZENS WILL PRESS MELLON OUSTEpVE Michigan Senator Declares He Will Not Permit Delay on Vote. MARSH IS ON STAND Trace of Missing Bonds to Be Sought in Probe of Harding Estate. | fVv I'nited Prr*9 WASHINGTON. March 21.—The 1 Teapot Dome committee again hit j the trail today seeking more inforj mation about political oil bonds as J independent Republicans and Dem- | ocrats were organizing a movement iin the Senate to put through the | Couzens resolution demanding res- | ignation of Secretary of Treasurer Mellon. Senator Couzens <Rep ), Michigan, ! author of the resolution, announced he would consent to no substantial delay in action upon the matter and that he would not permit the resolution to be sidetracked if he could prevent it. Democrats Back Plan The independent bloc of a dozen Senators is firmly behind Couzens, as are most of the Democrats. If the Democrats continue to hold together the resolution is expected to pass by a substantial majority. Although Couzens cited numerous acts of the Secretary in relation to his varied business holdings and ta:: cases tried in his department, the Senator based his resolution primarily upon the fact that Mellon had concealed for four years the fact that Will Hays, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, attempted in 1923 to get him secretly to handle $50,000 of Liberty Bonds Hays obtained from Harry Sinclair, oil man, as a campaign contribution. Meanwhile, the committee called as a witness today Wilbur Marsh., former treasurer of the Democratic I national committee who testified he ; never had an agreement with the late Fred W. Upham. Republican treasurer, to conceal 1923 campaign contributions. Denies Concealing Gifts Marsh said the Democrats received no contributions he would desire to conceal or any “unusual” contributions. “But every contribution in 1923 | was unusual—they were so hard to j get.” he commentedjocularly. Upham's secretaries, Irl Hipsley i and A. V. Leonard had testified l Upham had informed them he had a secret understanding with Marsh. “There was never anv such agreement or any conversation relating to such an agreement, Marsh said. “My relations with Upham were cordially friendly. I was never in his office in my life. Any times I met him were in hotel lobbies and on the streets. Ail the contributions we received are matters of record. There were'nt any contributions that we were unwilling to make public.” Marsh, treasurer of the Demo-; cratic committee from 1916 to 1924,) said the party deficit for the 1920 campaign was $200,000 and the 1922! defiicit was about the same. Like the Republicans, the Democrats made strenuous efforts to clean j up that deficit in 1923 before the | 1924 presidential campaign, he said. j Private Investigators Woi k Private investigators arc working on new leads for additional subpoenas. .One of them Tuesday inspected back accounts in Sullivan, j Ind.. home of Will Hays, seeking j possible bond deposits Others are! expected to consult C E.

Their report will be presented to the committee privately. Senator Walsli issued a statement Tuesday in which he deplored the fact that “innocent reputations” may have been injured by public knowledge that the committee is pursuing several lines >. inquiry. He said the Harding estate would not be investigated until the committee received some authentic evidence warranting the calling of witnesses. Simultaneously.

SMITH DENIES OIL MAN’S GIFT IN 1920

r.il l iiih (I /Vi s* ALBANY. N. Y.. March 21. Governor Alfred E. Smith has sent a letter to Senator Gerald P. Nye, who is conducting part of the Teapot Dome investigations, denying that Harry F. Sinclair, oil man. contributed to his campaign fund in 1929. The letter; “Mr. Dear Senator Nye. “You are quoted in the daily papers this morning (March 20) as having said yesterday on the floor of the Senate 'I do understand that in the campaign of 1920 at which Governor Smith was elected, Mr. Sinclair was a very liberal contributor to his cause and that following the election, he was made a member of the racing commission of the State of New York.’ “Senator Robinson of Indiana made a similar statement. Your information, wherever you got it, is in every respect false and these statements were recklessly made. “A careful search of the official records made at my request today confirms my recollection that Mr. Sinclair never contributed to mycampaign fund, either in 1920 or at any other time that I ran for office; in fact, I failed of election as Governor in 1920 and Mr. Sinclair had been appointed to the racing

commission months prior to that election, some four years before there was any thought of the oil scandal. A few months before the end of his term early in 1925, I accepted his resignation. “I do not propose that either you or Senator Robinson of Indiana, shall escape public humiliation for the infamous insinuation you have made by your pretense of disclaiming desire to cast reflection on me or stating that your committee has no concern with the matter. "Without the slightest warrant in fact and with no basis whatever you have both made false statements from which you evidently calculated that people would be misled into believing that I was some way a beneficiary of the oil scandal. “This, no doubt, is a Republican counsel of desperation to escape in some nature the penalty for the disgraceful record of the Republican party in connection with the scandal. No such red herrings can be dragged across the crail. The complete baselessness of your demagogic slander has aroused the indignation with which I make this protest against your outrageous conduct. “Very truly yours, ALFRED E. SMITH.”

ROBINSON IS UNDER FIRT'N U. S. SENATE Democrats in Spirited Attack as Charges Against Al Are Renewed. AIR MUDDLE IN STATE ‘Birds of Feather’ Speech Brings Out His Aid to Steve. BV PAUL R. MALLON tfinited Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. March 21,-Sen-ator Arthur Robinson of Indiana, was the center of a spirited attack, which aired alleged corruptior in Indiana, by Democratic members today when he renewed his chirge that Harry F. Sinclair, central figure in the Teapot Dome scandal, was a friend and appointee of Governo’ Al Smith of New York. Robinson admitted on questioning by Senator Pat Harrison (Dem). Mississippi, that his law firm had acted for D. C. Stephenson, deposed Ku-Klux Klan leader in Indiana, now in the State Penitentiary there. The counter-attack from Democrats came after Robinson had asserted Sinclair was a friend of Smith and that “birds of a feather flock together.” Senator Barkley (Dem.), Kentucky, asked if that u.iement went back to the time in Indiana when Robinson was appointed by a Governor who Barkley said later was accused of corruption. “It has never been said that Harry Sinclair came into the State,” Robinson retorted

Talk of State Corruption Harison asked if it was not true that the mayor of Indianapolis, the chairman of the Republican State Committee, the chairman of the Marion County Republican committee and four Indianapolis councilmen were either in the penitentiary or under indictment. Robinson replied that Harrison's question was so inclusive he could not be sure if Harison was accurate “But you say birds of a feather flock together,” Senator Dill (Dem.). Washington, broke in. “Does the Senator challenge my appointment by the Governor of Indiana?” Robinson asked. “If he does I will say that later I was elected by the people of Indiana.” “Will the Senator from Indiana defend the Governor of Indiana?” asked Senator Harrison. “I am not here defending the Governor of Indiana.” Robinson said. Attorney for Steve “Will the Senator from Indiana say whether he was attorney for D. C. Stephenson?" Harrison then asked. “That is all a matter of record,” Robinson answered. “I will say that I—well not I. but my law firm—acted for Stephenson in some civil suits.” Charges that Governor Smith received campaign contributions from Harry Sinclair, central figure in the Teapot Dome Oil Scandal, were denounced as “vile, vicious apd unfounded” by Senator Copeland (Dem.), New York, at the opening of the Senate session. Copeland had Smith’s reply to Nye read from the Senate rostrum. This brought an immediate sarcastic response from Senator Robinson (Rep.), Indiana, who had joined with Chairman Nye of the Senate Teapot Dome committee Monday in making the accusations against Smith. Robinson Is Sarcastic “I do not know how the Governor may feel about this matter, except what I have read in the newspapers," Robinson began, “but it seems he is very much exercised. His words are not so calm and careful as those of a great statesman ought to be.” “When I read his letter I could not help but think what would happen if one of his temperament got in the White House, charged with the enormous responsibilities of that office—what kind of language he would then employ in his dealing with the people of the country ano the nations of the world. “There would be trouble from the beginning.” M’ANDREvTto be fired Ex-Chicago School Head Officially to Get Gate Today.
