. 2 -f-f THE SUN, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1914. the committee's statement conveyed ny Impression contrary -to the estimate he had. put on Sip. Jones's position such nn Impression hnd been given Inadvertently. It wus his undcrsViudlnK that there whs no essential contradiction between his ex pressid views nnd those expressed tiy tr. Jones nt his appearance before the Senate committee. Tho fact that the committee's, statement made It appear that Mr. .tones was rather In sympathy with tho policies and pur poses of the Harvester company as It Is at present constituted was called to Mr. Wil son's attention. In carefully chosen words the 1'rcsUlcnt responded that If such an linpiessloti had i e stilted It was due to an Imperfect state ment of the facts by the committee. It developed that the Pirsldent had first hsnd Information rcKatdliiK tho testimony of Mr. Jones. Utilizing this Information he made It known that what Mr. Jones had said was that In his opinion the ac tions of the company since he hud heen connected with It were Ictral. Mr. Jones's opinion In this connection coincides with that which the President himself holds. It was lecallcd to tho President that the tmdcrstauilliiK had none foith that Mr. Jones had opposed the mou-mcnl within the Harvester dliectonite for a voluntary leorKonlzatlon. The Piesldent mpllcd that ho dnl not Know uuthlnK alioiit that, but added that he would rather trust .Mr. Jones's Judgment than his own. He added that hi had heen associated with Mr. Jones for twenty ir liefote his own par ticipation In politics and that In this time tho Judgment of Mt. Jones had ptexented him from making many mistakes. IMiM In President. The turning down of the Jones nomina tion t) the Senate committee Is the si-er-iwt blow the President has yet received from a Congress committee. The Presi dent made a personal appeal for a favor able report on Mr. Junes, pointing out to tho committee In a letter that "he is the one man of the whole number wb was In a personal sense my choice." The committee's response to his appeal waa the rejection by a 7 to 4 ote. The. lieniocrMs on the committee who stood with the President were Pomerenc of (Jhlo. Shafroth of Colorado, Mollis of New Hampshire and l.ee of Maryland. Sena tors Heed of Missouri and Hitchcock of Nebraska, Democrats', Joined with live Republicans, Nelson of Minnesota.

The lln.il vote of the committee In re gard t the Warburg nomination took the form of a motion to adjourn without ac tion subject to the call of the chairman. It Is understood that this action amounted to an Indefinite postponement of con. dera tion of the Warburg nomination. Prior to taking this action a motion was made h Senator Heed to postHUie action on Mr. Worburg's name until such time as he should appear before the committee In response to Its lnvlt.it. on. This motion was .met by a motion to table offered by one of the Administration Senators Only three Senators Shafrotlt, Iceand Mollis otsd to table. Senator Poinereno Joined with Senators Hitchcock and Itei-d and rive Republicans against tabling. This vote indicated clearly that all but -three of the romni ttce members present were opposed to taking any favorable action on the Warburg nomination until ho shows a disposition to give the committee the Information It has required. I'lmnlmcitin Arllun SiiuKht. The committee agreed that unanimous action was desirable, mid Senator Heed's motion was modified to provide simply that the committee should adjourn sub ject to the call of the chairman. ' Notwithstanding the keen criticism that has been directed against the .senate coin mlttee for Its attitude toward Mr. War burs, the Impreoslon wax growing in Con gress to-day that n mistake hail been maae in mus raising tne question or ine Hennte committee's right to exercise Its . prerogative in questioning a nominee, " Is believed that If Mr. Warburg had ' come before the committee he would have been confirmed by an overwhelming ma- I ili n,""lr' " 1 .

"The question lu this cum," said Mr. Weeks to-day, "was simply whether the Senato would perform Its constitutional duty or abdicate It on the demand of somebody else dent's personal choice, tho situation was the enterprises by such events as recover different.

NO LOANS TO M'ADOO. TVarbiiric Told of Firm's Connection With Tube Company. WASHiNotoN, July 9. The correspond ence which passed between Senator Pom erenc and Paul M. Warburg concerning the regional riserve banking umtroveisy! dUcIoscs some of the grounds for Mr. Warburg's unwIUIngneBS to appear leforc the Senate Hanking Committee Here tofore It has appeared only In fragmen tary form. Senator Pomerenc, writing under the date of June H, submitted various ques tions which he asserts wcrei propounded to him by a member of the committee whose name in not disclosed. One of the questions asked whether Kuhn. Iocb A Co. made loans to W. (J. McAdoo, now Secretary of the Treas ury, nnd his huslness associates. Mr. Warburg replied that no such loans were made, Information was asked also regard ing Mr Wurburg's views of the "reor ganization" of the Frisco, thn flock Island and the New Haven companies. Of the three properties but one Is bankrupt and has not been icorgaiilzed. Neither the nock Island nor the New Hsven road Is Insolvent and neither hns been leorganlzed N'elther Mr. Wnrhurg nor his Arm was concerned In their financing. Among tho questions sre some nf nn exceedingly personal character. For In stance, the unnamed Senator Insists In a postscript on knowing Mr, Warburg's po lltlcal nlllllntlons, the amount of his cam paign contributions nnd those of his firm. This explains Mr, Wnrhurg's reference to Ills Intention to vote for President Wil son, although he had Kepuhllcnn leanings, Mr. Warburg's leply, In Us Incomplete form, gave rise to adverse comment, It now develops that It wus not a voluntary statement but In reply to a request for Information. Tt Is felt that many of the questions submitted to Mr, Warburg were not proposed hy Interests friendly to the Administration. particularly questions bearing upon Secretary McAdoo's business affairs. Inasmuch as It would he almost Im possible for Mr, Warburg to submit to a general quizzing conducted along tho lines nf Senator Pomerene's letter without mak ing trouble either for himself or hankers associated with the financing of under takings of which Mr, Warburg could havn no personal knowledge. H Is suggested that some of the questions may have been framed hy Interests unfriendly to Kuhn, Lo.-b & (Jo, Senator Pomerene's letter to Mr. War-bu-g, dated .lime 24. says' "A member of the sub.coniiiilltee f the Committee on Hanking ami Cunency of the Senate, having under consideration your nomination, writes me under d,ite of June 22 hs follows "'I would llko to know when Mr. War- burg's connection began with Kuehn, Loeb & Company, nnd what his views are upon the methods of financing railroads and Industrial enterprises; and what of these enterprises have been financed by Kuehn.

"The committee will appreciate any In formation that you may seo fit to glvp It In answer to the above quoted letters." Mr. Warburg replied as follows .

In order to give my views upon the methods of financing railroads 1 and Industrial enterprises It would be j necessary for me to write a lengthy es say. While, broadly speaking, one might say that In financing railroads and In dustrial enterprises care must be taken that fixed charges do not exceed n safe proportion of the net earnings , that the obligations be well secured by actual , value and that due provision be made for I the future growth of the properties, any . such statement. In order to be of value, j would have to be reviewed from a dlf- ( ferent angle In each Individual class of , case", Railroads In thickly settled sec . tlons of the country are different propo- sltlons from railroads In undeveloped ter ritories; Industries In staple or well known ' products require a different point of view from Industries manufacturing untried , products or nrtlcles of luxury. A coal , mine and an automobile factory cannot l be covered by one rule. Moreover, dif ferent methods apply In a nation's life during a period of rapid development than at a later stage of settled condl tlons.

It Is barely possible that District At torney Smith has evidence In reserve which he Intends to produce nt a stra tegic moment, but as the case stands nobody In Kreeport believes that Mrs. Carman could lw.

Take, for example, the com ment of ex-Judge Wallace of Freeport: "Nn testimony connecting Mrs. Car man with the killing of Mrs. Bailey has been oltcred that approaches the dig nity of evidence. Any .ludgL would be compelled to direct a Jury to nciiult the defendant."

The truth Is, the prosecution Is con centrating upon a rather frightened col ored woman, who hns suddenly become of enormous Importance to District At torney Smith nnd William .1.

District Attorney Smith said his oincp wns working also on new clues, one of which -was to trace a little slip of yellow- paper which Mrs. Carman, according tn Gaston llolusomuilt. mnnager of the rtnnr.il Acnnsili.

Cella Coleman, Mrs, Cnrman's cook, hns suddenly become the Important fig ure In tho case.

They have elemnnded of her that she correct her testimony Riven at tlm In eiuest, .tin Id's Testimony I nipurlnnl. Ill the long run It inny be that Mrs, Carman's liberty swings upon Cella Coleman's testimony, At the Inquest, suddenly thrust Into a situation that miuln her, as she said, "nil trembly and wishy-washy," nnd menaced by tho eyei nf the District Attorney, Cella never theless stuck to It thnt sho wns nt work in the kitchen from supper time until the murder- nn hour nr more--and thnt Mrs, Cnrmnn did not pass through the kitchen or go hy the kitchen door, as Mrs. Carman would DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BAILEY CASE Doubt was cast upon the testimony of Elwood T. Barries that he saw a woman on the Carman fawn immediately after the shooting by the statement of Miss Flora Raynor that Bardes called on her at 8:30 o'clock, fifteen minutes after the murder. This, coupled with the weakening of Oolder, the farm hand, caused a change In sentiment in Freeport toward Mrs. Carman. Assiatant District Attorney Weeks admitted that tho State's case was weak and that Mrs. Carman might be freed on Monday. District Attorney Smith asks postponement of Coroner's hearing on July :j, but Mrs. Carman's attorney objects. District Attorney Smith hopei (o get new version of events of murder night from Cella Coleman, the negro cook. hiivo had tu do to avoid oil eyca save those of her cook's.

This fact slipped out to-day, although Mr. Hums would not criticise the .course taken by the District Attorney nnd the Coroner.

The attack upon Hardes's testimony I When Dr Carman returned to Free, was almost as much of a surprise as the i port to-night he said : discrediting of Holders story. Lawyer , "Mrs. Carman Is not ill. She is ner Levy has been tremendously energetic lu vous. that Is all. The authorities know Mrs. Carman's behalf and Is hustling to by this time thnt they haven't a. thing get affidavits that will counterbalance the . to hold her on. Hums men have ben prosecution's evidence. Mr. Levy has an Important asset In the public opinion of the community. This has undergone a curious change. A few davs ago. desnltn Mrs. Carman's Imnres- queer slants hnve Injected themselves Into the case, feeling has changed materials. If Mrs. Carman's release could be secured by a ball bond It would not be difficult to, get security for 150,000 or more. The way Freeport looks nt the most ex: i traordlnary murder ense of yenrs Is simple. .Mil) be Mrs. Carman shot Mrs. ' Halley, but where's the evidence? ' Levy, persistently digging, happened to hear that Flora Raynor. a girl who lives lu Helen street, Freeport, nbout one mile from the Cnrmnn house, was with Hardes on the night of tho murder. He ques- Honed Miss Raynor nnd Immediately In duced her to make nn affidavit. Her story Is Interesting. She says that she had an nppolntmcnt with Hardes on the night of June 3n, nnd that he came to her house at 8:30 P. M-, or a little before. Now, Hardes says that he was In front of the Carman house, a mile away, at the time of the murder, which has been fixed approximately at K.1.1 P. M., and that be waited long enough after he heard a shot tired to observe through the growing dusk a woman who wore a white waist anil a dark skirt, who seemed to weigh about MO pounds nnd who appeared to have light hair (a fair description of Mrs. Car man), standing within ten feet of tho! porch. ; Whs Mlleiil About Miontlna. j It Is pointed out that he could have i walked to Miss Raynor's home In ten or I f 1 f tsnn mlniil.a ' tint thn nnat r.lt!n- , 1 of Miss Ruynor's affidavit Is that Hardes I said never a word to her nbout his str.ingo experience. He was with her two houis nnd a half, she says. On the Monday fol lowing the murder Hardes was with Mls Raynor agnln. He asked, he says: "Flora, doesn't Dr, Carman live In drove street?" Sho replied : i "Why, no Ills home Is In the Merrick I road.' District Attorney Smith said to-night , ,, ,va, not , concerned abut .Miss Raynor's nfndsvlt. He Is confident that Hardes Is a credible witness nnd he doesn't see how Miss Rnynor's af fidavit refutes Hardes's tistlmony In any. essential point.

I'm sorry I got Mrs. Cnrmnn Into trouble and I'm doing what t can to get her out." Tho District Attorney hints that ho may proceed against Golder. "I'm going to find out how he came to change his story," said Mr. Smith. The doubts of the prosecution as re gards the strength of Its case were ex pressed by Assistant District Attorney Charles R. Weeks who went so far ns to sny that .Mrs, Carman might Ije freed next Monday if more evidence cannot be produced, Nobody In Freeport would be surprised If that Is the outcome. It Is known that MRS. CARMAN STATE'S WITNESS Coroner Norton, who will sit ns a mag istrate on Monday, Is not ut all satisfied with the evidence against Mrs. Cumuli, and that he ordered her arrest only after the strongest appeals from District At torney Smith u nd .Sheriff l'ottll. Friends of the Coroner say that he Is likely to set her free If Mr. Smith doesn't strengthen the ense. Tnn Women Still Mlsalnu. The prosecution has been disappointed In Its search for two Monirn who fled from the anteroom of Dr. Carman's of fice after tho murder. There was a rumor to-day that County Detective Seaman had located the two and that they had madj a statement. The District Attorney and Mr. Seaman said the rumor wns untru When the shot was fired these women ran from the waiting room Into the fron hull and Mrs. Ida Powell. Mrs. Carman'.i sister, says they blocked her way when she ran down stairs. Presumably they escaped through the front door. It It likely that they could have seen the flight of the person who shot Mrs. Halley. On tho other hand, If Mrs. Carman's story that, after the shot she uppriired at the head of the stairway In her night dress; they would have been likely to se her. Lawyer Levy Is as anxious ns Dis trict Attorney Smith to Interview these women, One of the singular features of the case Is their complete disappearance Dr Carman maintains that he does not know who they were. There was a fresh crop of sensational f rllmors arising out of the case to-night It was said that tho Nnrsau county authorities have been Informed that a man and a woman were concerned In the munlir. and that the man was being sought In Now York. This was dented by the District Attorney. Sirs. Csirninii Itrenbs Dcmtii, Mrs. Carmnn suffered a nervous break down In the Jail at Mlneola this morn ing.
