There have been many vorncn since the trial bepin. student: from Notre Dame univerity law lejartment are interested watchers oC tho lawyers in the case. The admission of Baker's cor.fessions Thursday morning provided keen interest during the session. Alluttst unbelievable in their chronicle of crime, they wero read to the jury'Haker'a confessions, which not only to Into detail reyardin the Cook murder, but recito other crimes confessed to by the man on trial for his life, were read to the jury by h'pecia' Prosecutor Kalph N .S;mith, after tho objection of Atty. Craig Hood, counsel for lak r. had been overruled by Judge Arthur L. Hubbard. Mrn. Leona Cook.-wife of the murdered man, hat apparently unmoved near the attorneys for the state during tho recital of tho details rerardin? the murder of her husband. Am Morbid! MnrMi. During the reading Baker, the defendant, sat near his attorney, leaning forward with elbow resting on tho attorneys table, hia chin held in his hands. The confessions provided a morid morsel for the large crowd of spectators tilling the court room. The jurymen paid th closest attention as Atty. Smith read how 'Hak er, by libs own confession, had committed several robberies at Indiana Harbor after he had met Krnest .irrepy and Steve Bartek, the two other mn to be t:r'd later for the tiath of the Importe grocer. The influence of the othr two men over i'aker seemed to be almost complete. He even bought revolvers r uo by tho three men in comf litting robberies at Indiana Hari'or. Ho had even attempted to assist Carrepy" in getting a suitcase out of a hotel there so ho might avoid paying his hotel bill. The confession also told how Baker had shot a man in Montana becau he had thrown a piece of pie In his face and further annoying him. It also told how the youthful defendant had been Implicated in an attempted bank robbery at Lockport. 111., and had been placed on parol by the authorities at Joliet, 111. Under Others' Influence. Baker's confessions show that he wj peculiarly undr the Influence of Garrepy and Bartek in planning th Lnporte robbery which resulted in a tragedy. There was no plan to commit murdr. Garrepy and Bartek planned a robbery ar.d Cook's diath resulted. Garrepy took precautions not to expose himself. He w.ls the lookout while Barttk and Baker wero to do the actual work. Garrepy had learned that there was a urocer at Laporte who lud reO in Liberty bonds. After reaching Laporte it was arra-nged that another grocery wo.1 to be robbed first, and then Cook's core was to be tnter J, the proprietor overpowered ar.d the mor.-'y found to be tak :i.

Their argument was t!i.it there ! w.vs to be no shooting ur.b-s Raker ; lil i '- when Cook refused to! obey their demands to throw up Ills j hands, and backed away, Bart'k forgot the agreement and fired. Cook actd as if he was trying to plclc up something to thro.v at the two n-.-n and Baker fired three shots. Then Bartek fir-d another. Cook tlien fll and Bakr ran toward th door where Coolc had f.iüen and jumped over him running to th- mid-r.o of the ret. Bartek topped ::t Cook's side, and called to Ba'r. r to k"-ep on goinsr. Then Bartek joined B..iker ar.d thev then hurried to McGee, th Junction about eix miles from Importe. Here they talked to the- telegrapher, and after that they spent th- nl-ht in tli railroad station, one of thm sleeping while the other watched. In the morning workmen gathered In the station and talked-about the murder of the Iiporte gro. er. They said that a white man and two negroes hid killed him. Garrvy I'lnn Kobtery. Garrepy had planned tho robbery because he wanted to be sure his five children would have something tor Christmas. Baker was' blamed by Bartek for not being abb; to hit Cool: with any of the threo shots fired by him in the store, and Baker blamed his- inaccuracy in markmanshlp on tho fact that he had to use a new gun. Baker claims in his confession that he is the lnv ntor of what will eventually develop into a perpetual motion apparatus. The confessions are in the form of question? and answers for th mo-t part, but some portions of them arc in narrative form. Brobably never before in any St. Joseph county court has a similiar document bepn presented as evidence In a court trial. The youth of the confessor and the melodramatic Incident chronicled give it a sociological interest that may have been broucht home to many fathers in the court room during the reading of the confessions. Atty. Hood holds that the document Is evidence of his client's insanity. The confessions read more like the scenario of an uncensored moving picture film, yet it bears the signature of Walter Carl Hakrr. Wednesday afternoon Atty. Hood consumed practically the entire time of the court session In arguing against the admission of the confessions in evidence. He was overruled, and Thursday afternoon he argurd for a ruling by the court to the Jury that those portions of tho confessions not bearing directly upon the Importe tragedy being considered only as affecting tho sanity or Insanity of tho defendant. Leaders From Local Lodges More than 400 members of Crusade lodge 14 Knights of Pythias, the Pythian sisters and members of their families attended the K. of P. get-together entertainment held Thursday evening at South Bend high school.

joii ions Fairfield and Hickey Demand Chance to Make Good Their Promises. PpHl to TLe News -TimWASHIXCION. Beb. t r -Be p. Kairfirld and Bep. Hickey of the twelfth and thirteen Indian.:, cor.gre.slonal districts insist that this. concress should make some provision to pay the rc-turr.ol soldiers a bonus either in the form of money, government certificates or government bonds. "The time ha come for us to do nothing or to do some thin.? and I am for doing something," said Bep. l-'airtield in discussing the bond proposals. iso eventually, and without blaring of trumpets, l-'alriiekl and Hickey of Indian.a, found themse ive i;mong the republican Insurgents of the house. There they remain at this time. How long they "will remain there no one knows, for it has been rather unusual tor any member of the Indiana delegation to remain in any one place long enough to establish himself. HrcHk Witti Guardian. Fairfield and Hickey are among those republicans who sneaked from the house chamber and from their guardians, the republican "steering committee," and held a rump convention at which it was decided that no longer would the insurgents await action from the "steering committee" on the bond proposals. The insurgents, as Mr. Ttlrlield aptly expressed it, declared the time had come to 'Mo something or do nothing" and with this ultimatum to the republican leaders they are not talking about the house floors. The bond question presents a fine opportunity for the overthrow of the republican leaders, Frank V Mondell, republican floor leader, and every member of the steering committee fears to di.scuss the subject, fears it so much in fact, that the czaristic rule exercised to the extreme to prevent discussion of bond legislation on the floor. The "steering committee" has exerted all its power, and exerted It successfully, to prevent the bond question getting before a republican caucus; for once in caucus, It was known the members would overthrow their leadership assert their own -will. Loaders Straddle? Isvuo. Months ago, had any one of the many leaders in the house asserted sufficient independence and had sufficient courajre to meet this bond question, here would not have been the present troublesome aftermath. The policy laid down by the republican leaders, however, waa to straddle the question and remain astraddle in the hope that the soldiers them-selves would relieve the congress from any responsibility. When the soldiers refused to be made the "goats" of this policy and demanded that congress do something, the republican leaders found themselves "ahold of the bear's tail" and they have been afraid to let go. Py plain indifference and suggesttlon Mondell and others have endeavored to put before the country the reasons why the soldiers cannot be granted a bonus. Day after day, the discussion of alleged "economy" have permitted a stroke, subtly de livered, at the request of the solers. It was evident that the in tention was to make the ta?k difficult for the soldiers if the soldiers continued to press their demands for bonds. Rut the soldiers refused to bo intimidated and ma.de It clear that they wanted congress to act, and now Mr. Mondell and his associated "passers of the buck" find they must do something". Throw OfT Yoke. Months ago, had the republicans in tho house been advised they would not be permitted to demand action on bond or bonus legislation, they would not have made promises to the soldiers and their constituents and would not have been put in the position of having promised something which they could not deliver. That is their position now. They hae made the promises, were permitted to make them by the republican "steering committee" but now that they have made them, the steer:ng committee has refused to permit any action. Through the organization in the house, no republican member has an opportunity to represent his constituents until the "steering committee" gives permission and so every member who made promises has i i: Ii in i l iii'i i iiii.ii- ti li Tin cm it üwi ' . i. .. v. the "steering committee" to escape censure. Rut at list, the members have thrown off the yoke, have declared that tb'." time his cemo "to do something or do nothing." and perhaps now freed, thsc members will assert themselves until the house- e'f representatives will do something fcr the soldiers and also v tll again really represent the people and not a political organization.

DESTROYS RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS

Officials of 15 Railroad Unions Present Memorial to Congress. ( er, XTINUKD FROM PA GR OM1. ) lion by section, the unions memorial leclai's first that the railroad employes expect just treatment and the , continuation of their "unalienable riht to have an equal voice, representation and vote in any tribunal created by law or mutual agreement which is to establish the compensation we are to receive." U then is charged that the pending bill violates the fundamental provisions of American government in the sections regulating the financial return to investors, because "particular and exclusive privileges" wero conferred in guaranteeing dividends. "Tliis act denies to tho public the benefit of competition." the memorial says, "Ry this bill, the government which we have Instituted for the common good is prostituted to establish the private Interests of holders of railroad securities as a class." Create Roard. The sections cr.'iting a railroad labor board are quoted to show that the unions are required to nominate men to represent them within So days from the passage of the bill, and after the interstate commerce commission has held hearings and promulgated the method of proi i-duro for such nominations, but that no provision is made to require the commission to formulate regulations in sufficient time to permit the employes to comply with the act. "In having the commission define 'subordinate officials' who shall come within the labor provisions of the act, according to the memorial, special consideration has been granted to a class of employes comprising less than nvo percent of the total on an equal footing with the recognized standard organizations. Special Consideration. "This special consideration also permits a situation to arise," the memorial continues, "that could result in the appointment of 'three subordinate olliclals,' three representatives of the carriers, likewise 'subordinate olllcials,' and three members of the railroad labor board. Without a representative of the 1.000,000 organized railroad workers on it!" Sections establishing- a method of procedure for the adjudication of labor disputes by groups of not less than 100 employes would "destroy all discipline and lead to chaos," the memorial asserts, because they would encourage workers to disregard existing agreements and long standards of orderly methods of procedure. "Failure to designate and treat with the standard recognized organizations representing approximately 93 percent of all the employes," the protest sas, "can be construed to mean nothing less than the provisions of this act are primarily based upon a -determination to annul existing agreements and destroy the organizations which negotiated them." WAR MINISTER DENIES REPORT OF EX-EMPEROR Ry Associated Press: I5UDAPKST. Wednesday. Feb. IS. War Minister Friederich has denied that former Rmperor Charles is making any attempt to return to Hungary- When asked if he supported Archduke Joseph, the minister replied: "We are divided into two parties, one legitimates, the other for the election of a new king. It is my opinion that an arrangement must first be made with the emperor, In which two solutions are possible, either abdication in favor of his ton Otto the archduke in that case acting as regent until the boy becomes of full age or Charles could resign in favor of someone eLte. If Charles Is unwilling to comply, matters must remain as they are, with a government consisting of the national assembly, assisted by a temporary regent, until the death of Charles. "As Hungary Is an agricultural country it will b-. the first to prosper among its neighbors. Cows give milk and hen lay eggs, and whether or not we have raw materials for the factories we will become exporters of foods by the next harvest."
