AL SMITH BLOCKED WALSH AS COMPROMISE CANDIDATE IN 1924 CAMPAIGN, SAYS NYE

Robinson Launches G. 0. P. Effort to Smear ‘Oil’ on Democrats. SENATOR SPEAKS TODAY Address Expected to Start Mud-Siinging Battle on Floor. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 23.—A Republican effort to smear Democrats with “oil” was promised in the Senate today by Senator Arthur Robinsen of Indiana, who announced he would tell facts indicating certain Republican officials were not the only ones the oil millionaires approached. Robinson declared he had dug up evidence indicating Democrats were responsible for the law under which the naval reserves were leased to oil men by former Secretary of Interior Fall. His speech will mark the first stand by Republicans against recent persistent Democratic attacks upon Republican leaders for their alleged part in secreting the $160,000 campaign contribution from Harry Sinclair, lessee of Teapot Dome. Robinson also promised to bare more facts about the relationship which he said existed socially between Governor A1 Smith of New York and Sinclair. Sinclair's Aid Testifies Merrit Baldwin, confidential secretary to Sinclair in 1922, 1923 and 1924, told the Teapot Dome committee in its hearing today how Sinclair sent $25,000 to former Secretary of Interior Fall to enable Fall to go to Russia for Sinclair. “Sinclair told Colonel Zevely to get Fall to act as a sort of outside counsel,” Baldwin said. “Sinclair thought Fall was the best man for j the job.” Baldwin said Archie Roosevelt, J son of the late President, was incorrect in his 1923 testimony before the committee when he related a conversation with J. D. Wahlberg, Indicating a $63,000 check had been sent to the superintendent of Fail’s New Mexico ranch by Sinclair. The check was in reality sent to Sam Hildreth, trainer for Sinclair’s racing stable, the witness added. Baldwin said he knew the check was for Hildreth, who received an j annual salary of $25,000 and 10 per cent of the pursewinnnings. Fall Story Already Told Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, and Will Hays, former chairman of the Republican national committee, visited the Sinclair offices frequently, Baldwin said. Sinclair’s correspondence with Hays was “largely about getting a postmaster appointed in some town or another,” Baldwin added. Hays admitted soliciting $160,000 from Sinclair to pay off the 1920 Republican campaign deficit. After hearing Baldwin the committee adjourned until 10:30 a. m. Saturday. It was deemed unlikely that the committee would seek Albert B. Fall’s testimony at El Paso, Texas, since it was learned that what purports to be his story of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve lease will be presented when Sinclair stands trial on the conspiracy indictment here i next month. In court proceedings Thursday, when Justice Jennings Bailey granted Fall an indefinite postponement and decided Sinclair should stand trial alone April 4, Sinclair's lawyers presented an affidavit by Reginald W. Ragland of Missouri, of counsel for Sinclair, who with the oil man recently spent several days with Fall at El Paso. Tell of Bond Loan Ragland’s affidavit sets forth Fall’s story as it was supposedly told him and Sinclair. This was to the effect that Fall had assented “reluctantly and only at the insistence of President Harding” to promulgation of the executive order under which Teapot Dome was leased to Sinclair, and that the decision to open up Teapot and Elk Hills reserves was made by navy officials and not by Fall. Regarding Sinclair’s payment of $233,000 Liberty Bonds to Fall, the affidavit represented Fall as saying this was a business matter unconnected with the lease.

Tilton, former Internal Revenue Bureau employe, was set today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell for May 14.

Supported John W. Davis, ‘of House of Morgan/ Says Letter. SENDS REPLY TO REBUKE Accuses New York Governor of Giving Aid, Comfort to Scoundrels. B,y United Press WASHINGTON, March 23. Supporters of A1 Smith blocked the nomination of Senator Walsh of Montana and supported John W. Davis of the house of Morgan in the 1924 convention, Chairman Nye of the Senate Teapot Dome Committee charged today in a letter to Smith. Nye said he based his charge on an analyis of the vote in convention. In his first copy of his letter issued, Nye directly charged Smith with responsibility for rejection of Walsh as a compromise candidate. In a correction half an hour later Nye amended his charge to Jay responsibility upon “supporters of Smith.” Walsh and Smith are now candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Aid to Scoundrels Nye made the charge in reply to Smith’s recent letter accusing Nye of “demagogic slander,” because of Nye’s statement in the Senate that Smith had appointed Harry Sinclair, indicted oil man to the New York State racing commission after Sinclair had been a “liberal contributor” to the New York Democratic committee. Nye said Smith declined to accept Walsh as a compromise candidate at the Madison Square convention in 9124. Nye also charged Smith with giving “aid and comfort to every scoundrel whose infamy has been exposed, by seeking to undermine public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the committee in the midst of its investigation.” At another point Nye asked Smith “might it be that your reticence to speak out against these scandals sooner is attributable to the fact that Harry F. Sinclair was a member of your official family and had, as newspapers now report, contributed in 1918 when you were a successful candidate for Governor, to the Democratic committee in New York. Nye said at the start of his 1,500 word letter to Smith that he had not charged Smith with being connected with the oil scandal. On the contrary, Nye said, he had infoi-med the Senate the committee would not call Smith, because it did not consider this material to its inquiry. Trace Bonds to G. O, P. “You gratuitously charge me with being a party to a plot to enable the Republican party to escape in some measure the penalty for the disgraceful record of the party in connection with these scandals,” said Nye. “In other words, you impeach me as the chairman of the committee in charge of the investigation as being engaged in an effort to protect culprits whose exposure by the committee would injure the Republican party. There is just a bit of humor in your charge. “Surely you cannot be ignorant of the fact that upon my own initiative and responsibility and without the suggestion, of any other member of the committee. Republican or Democrat, I appointed an investigator, on the basis of information privately furnished to me, who traced bonds of the Continental Trading Company owned by Harry F. Sinclair directly to the coffers of the Republican national committee through the banks of New York City. “You cannot be ignorant of the fact that following my public announcement of this fact on Feb. 11,1 recalled Will Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee to the witness stand for further examination. No Fear of “Humiliation” “You cannot be ignorant of the fact that the resolution under which the committee Is now acting was drafted and introduced by Senator Norris, not a Democrat but a Republican, and the leader of the progressive group with which I have been identified from the day I entered the Senate. “You need not concern yourself in the least as to the ‘public humiliation’ which you state your letter will bring down upon me. I do not propose to be deterred in the performance of my official duty by abuse or criticism of my work from you or from any one else. “I shall go on determined to do my duty as I see it, in the hope that I may contribute something to that cause which would end the frightful and destructive influence of money, won from unhealthy sources, and used in election campaigns, and in this work will shield none who are guilty, be they Republicans, Democrats or any other shade of political faith."

George M’Donald Pays for Murder of Canadian Taxi Driver. BY JAMES It. KELLY United Pres* Staff Correspondent VALLEY FI£LD, Quebec, March 23.—George McDonald was hanged on the flaming red gallows at Bordeaux prison at dawn today, paying with his life for a murder he and his wife both admitted. The wife, Doris, escaped a like fate when her death sentence — which was to have been carried out simultaneously with that of her husband—was commuted to life imprisonment Wednesday. She was in her cell at the women’s prison at Montreal as her husband calmly went to death. They were convicted of killing Adelard Bouchard, a Lachine, Quebec taxicab driver. McDonald was executed at 5-37 a. m. Last Rites Delay Hanging The execution had been planned for earlier in the morning, but last minute rites, under the Canadian custom, had delayed the hanging for almost an hour. The convicted man was calm and said he was ready for death. Only once yesterday did his composure break. That was when he was about to say a final good-by to his 73-year-cld father, Jack McDonald of Sydney, N. S. They wept and finally had to be separated by guards. The condemned man's entire family had been here to visit him for the first time in years, united by the common grief at their son’s fate. His mother and sister had come from Portland, Maine, and with the father left last night for Montreal, hoping to arrange some last minute reprieve. Makes Peace With All “I feel I have made my peace with man as well as with God.” the condemned man shouted at his father as they were separated. “Good-by.” Then last night he became quite composed, and after eating a light luncheon, went to sleep, to await call at 4 a. m. At that time he was called and a mass was said by Father Verscheldon, chaplain of the prison, in the corridor in front of the death cell. He was offered a chance to make a final statement, a chance to eat and a chance to drink. Then he was led up the eighteen steps leading to the old gallows, which had been painted bright red, to expiate his crime. Guards lined the prison block, although there was no hint of trouble. Two guards with loaded guns stood just outside the prison door. Heavy Guard Maintained Inside were forty police, including twenty provincial officers and twenty municipal constables and detectives. Although these precautions had been taken, Valley Field was paying scant attention. Only the officials required for the execution were present. Even the jury was not permitted in .the death chamber. The jury was composed of local physicians and held its inquest at 8 a. m. Then the body was reclaimed by McDonald’s family.

tl. S. SENATOR FERRIS DEAD OF PNEUMONIA Michigan’s ‘Silent Orator’ Succumbs After Illness of Several Weeks. HONORED BY HIS STATE Only Democrat Named to , Upper House in 70 Years by Commonwealth. P4l United Preen WASHINGTON, March 23.—Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris, known as the “silent Orator from Michigan,” died here at 6:15 a. m. today of bronchial pneumonia. His death followed an illness of several weeks. After his condition was pronounced very grave every day for a week, he took a sudden turn for the worse last night. Oxygen we* administered artificially at 5:30 a. m., when the end appeared near. Dr. C. W. Culver, at the bedside with Ferris’ wife and two sons, summoned Admiral Cary T. Grayson, who previously had attended Woodrow Wilson in his last illness. In the presence of these five and nurses, the 75-year-old Senator died 45 minutes later. Tentative arrangements have been made for Ferris’ family and a congressional escort to leave here Sunday afternoon for Big Rapids, Mich., where burial will take place about 3 p. m. Tuesday. Governor Green of Michigan, may arrange for a special train to convey the party all the way. Otherwise, automobiles will take the cortege from Grand Rapids to' Big Rapids. If Governor Green appoints a Republican to succeed Ferris, the Senate lineup will be forty-eight Republicans, forty-five Democrats and one Farmer-Laborite. Earlier this session two Republicans, Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania, were denied seats, while the late Senator Jones (Dem.) New Mexico, was replaced by a Republican. Senator Couzens, the second Michigan Senator, lauded his dead colleague in a statement today. Ferris was the first Democrat to be elected to the United States Senate from Michigan in seventy years. His personal popularity was such that he also served two terms as Governor in that same Republican stronghold. And ho presented a third unique feature in that he was a successful school teacher Elected to high public office. Born in Log Cabin Woodbridge Ferris was born in a log cabin near Spencer. Tioga County, New' York. Jan. 6. 1853. His early education was obtained in the country school near his birthplace, Spencer Union Academy, Candor Union Academy and Oswego Academy. Later he'entered the Oswego Normal and Training School. He first went west in 1873 and en-i tered the University of Michigan's medical department, to enlarge his field of information as a teacher. He began active teaching in Illinois, where he organized two business colleges and taught in the public schools for several years. Returning to Michigan, Senator Ferris opened the Ferris Industrial School at Big Rapids with two rooms and fifteen students. It grew, under its founder’s guidance, to have sixteen departments and 2,000 students. Winner in Third Campaign Only in 1923 did Senator Ferris withdraw from active control. He was a candidate for Congress in 1892 and for Governor in 1904, but was unsuccessful. He won in 1913, however, and again in 1914, each time on the Democratic ticket. After four years out of office he once more entered the race for Governor in 1920, but was defeated by Alex J. Groesbeck. His election to the United States Senate came in November, 1922, when he ran against Senator Charles E. Townsend and won in a close race. He entered on his six-year term March 4, 1923. Senator Ferris was married in 1874 to Miss Helen Frances Gillespie. She died in 1917. Three sons, one of whom died in infancy, were born to the couple.

STOCKS ON RAMPAGE Set Dizzy Pace in Heavy Profit-Taking. Pji I nited Press NEW YORK, March 23. The nerve-wrackmg pace of recent weeks continued on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange today, with prices buoyant and trades collapsing under the tremendous strain of the 3,000.000-share boom. During the early hours a reaction set in, bringing the heaviest profittaking of the present boom, but making no appreciable impression on the rate at which stocks were changing hands. The absence of many brokers who had been forced to leave town for a respite from the enervating pressure which the boom had placed upon them, left just that much more work for the remaining brokers.

BOYNTON MOORE PICTURED AS BRIBE GRABBER, THEN AS PREY OF PROSECUTOR Emsley Johnson Brands Alibi as Myth, Scorchingly Denounces Councilmen; Betrayed, Says Defense. CASE TO JURORS THIS AFTERNOON Closing Arguments Soon to Be Finished; New Deal for Citizens Called for by State’s Attorneys. Jurymen in the Moore bribery ease in Criminal Court were given their choice of two pictures of Councilman Boynton J. Moore late today. * One was that portrayed by Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson, in an hour and one-half argument this morning. It was done in drab colors and showed Moore as a “ bribe taking myth maker.” The other was outlined by Defense Attorney Henry W. Winkler. It portrayed Moore as the innocent victim of dire political influences, emanating from the offices of the Marion County prosecutor, and of the Judas-like betrayal of a fellow council member, whom Winkler referred to constantly as “Angel Albertson.”

Both Winkler and .Johnson had contributed their bits to the picture by noon and the finishing' touches were being added when court took up again after lunch. Attorney Ira M. Holmes was doing the closing work on the Winkler portrait of Mcore, and Prosecutor William H. Remy was to use the last hour and one -half allotted the State to complete its picture. Case Soon to Jury Instructions of the court will follow and the case was expected to be in the hands of the jurymen by 4 p. m. Should the State’s picture win the jury verdict, sentence is from two to fourteen years in prison and a fine not to exceed SI,OOO. Davis Limits Argument Special Judge Paul G. Davis, who presides, decided the time limits, so that the jurymen would not be retained another night, if it is possible for them to reach a decision. “Bribery is the most heinous crime that a councilman could commit against the public he represents,” Johnson told the jurymen. He then proceeded to review the testimony in the case and in a low voice pictured the dark room where Moore is said to have “slipped in” and taken SIOO for helping to halt impeachment proceedings against former Mayor John L. Duval. Commenting on the general conduct of the council, he declared: “Ordinances were introduced merely to be killed, or so that someone might give them something for killing them.” Scoffs at “Trip” The trip Moore said that he took to Medina, Ohio, which started on the morning before the night the State charges he took the Duvall bri.be, Johnson referred to as “the Ohio pilgrimage.” He pointed out that no corroborative testimony from innkeepers was introduced to show where the Moore automobile party stayed, and declared: “They didn’t even know where they were going. That depended upon what they got the night before.” The State contends that the automobile tour was made the day after the bribe was received. Raps at Seibert Johnson continued: “They established this alibi by Ray Seibert, the generous fellow who dished out gasoline to the city council. I don’t see how any official can take gas from the city—” Winkler objected and Johnson said: “Oh, don’t bother me, Henry.” The objection was over-ruled. “About this gasoline-giving Seibert. He testified that Moore had nothing to do with his appointment as garage superintendent.” Johnson then sketched the testimony given by State witnesses, including 'Robert Springsteen, Don Roberts, former city attorney, and Indianapolis newspaper men. He told the jury that the testimony of these people, and other State witnesses discredited the defense testimony. Grab Is Charged “The defense has created a lamily trip to Medina alibi. These councilmen told Duvall they couldn’t live on SSO a month. That was their attitude and they didn’t waste any time trying to make some more.” The special prosecutor declared that he had no apologies to make for Councilman O. Ray Albertson, who admitted on the stand that he was involved in some of the alleged bribery activities. Johnson said, “Albertson came here and told of his crimes because he had more conscience than the others. He wanted to do these things, but there was something pulling him back. But poor old Albertson came in and unburdened himself.” In finishing an hour’s argument before the jury, before a recess was taken. Johnson contended that the jury’s only verdict can be “guilty.” “A man had a slim chance,” Joiiu-

son said, “to get anything by that council, without seeing those men.” “It is time for this city to become aroused, to stop this thing forever. If politicians are to seize our government to do the things this evidence has shown were done, then this city deserves the things that have been said about us. It is the duty of Mr. Remy to keep up the fight. It is the duty of the community to stand behind him. “It is your duty to uphold th*> law. Can men solicit bribes and go free? Can men seek public office with the idea of living in ease the rest of their lives? “Now is the time to strike, to save this city from such things in the future. Moore is far more guilty than all the rest, with the possible exception of Dorsett. These two were the leaders. Calls for Halt “They have bilked this city cs much as they could. Now is the time to say (Johnson raised his hand in warning to the jury) this thing must stop.” In dealing with the fact that Moore used sixteen character witnesses, Johnson asked: “Why could not one of those good neighbors, people who know of Mr. Moore’s good character, have come here to tell why they left for a trip to Canada on the morning of Aug. 22? Where were they on that morning? One such witness’ testimony would have been worth a dozen character witnesses.” Johnson stated that character witnesses have nothing to do with defense of accepting a bribe. The defense opened its argument by attacking the testimony of State's witnesses and prosecuting attorneys, through Henry Winkler, one of Moore's attorneys. Winkler asserted that Johnson would “stand up here as a man and say that Duvall is the biggest liar in Marion County. He has said it a dozen times: Winkler produced the charges levelled Johnson when a park board member by Duvall, charging that Johnson had given away city property for political purposes, and that boulevards were built to enhance values of real estate owned by officials and friends of the park board. Turns Guns on Duvall Winkler said he didn’t believe it and he didn’t think that Johnson or any of the jurors believed the statements of Duvall. “I ask you, Mr. Remy,” he said, “wlyy Duvall was not tried in this court for perjury? Affidavits have benpending against him since last May. He was tried on a misdemeanor, for which he could get only a thirty-day sentence.” Prosecutor Remy jumped to his feet and objected to the remark, asking Winkler to retract his “misquoting of the law.” “He got thirty days because cnat was what the jury assessed,” Remy said. Winkler retracted his statement, but said he would not retract the fact that the perjury affidavits had not been brought to trial. Sarcasm for Albertson “Poor little conscious-s t r i c k e n, Angel Albertson,” Winkler characterized the State’s star witness. Again he called him “Emsley W. Johnson’s little Angel Albertson.” Winkler declared that Albercson never would have told his story If prosecutors had not been investigating his veal estate deals on ThirtyEighth St. and Central Ave. “Conscious-stricken Albertson did not dare vote for anyone but Howe (referring to Thomas Howe) or Irving Lemaux, because he was afraid of an incident,” Winkler charged, whereupon Remy objected and terme,d the statement a “deliberate, purposeful, falseful mistatement of fact.” “I say that is a deliberate falsehood,” Remy declared. “I should like to have the court investigate that statement and bring in members of the grand jury.”
