Smith Accuses
Hearst Papers
Of Bolshevism
Declares *The Journal* and
'American* Came Within
Eyelash of Being Sup?
pressed During the War
Talks to Milk Consumers
Says Publisher Is an Ally
of Forces Obstructing
Constructive Legislation
Governor Smith, addressing a meet?
ing of milk consumero last night at
the Hotel Biltmore, devoted a large
part of his address to an attack on
William Randolph Hearst, in the course
of which he charged that. "The Amer
? ican" and "Thsi Journal" were the
greatest sources of Bolshevism and
I. W. W.-ism in the United. States. He
also said that these two papers of
Mr. Hearst's "came within an eyelash
of being suppressed by the power of
this government during the war."
In the forepart of his address the
Governor charged that the Republican
majority in the Legislature had buried
the bills fostered by him calling for
a state control of milk, together with
much other constructive legislation.
Ho said that a list of bills marked
' not desirable" by certain interests
had been prepared and accused the !
Manufacturers' Association, with head?
quarters in Syracuse, of being re- ?
sponsible.
Opens Attack on ?Hearst . '
"These people," he continued, "find '
allies in places you "wouldn't suspect ;
to find them.
"There is a man in this town by
the name of Hearst, who owns two !
papers. lie makes the finest kind of i
an ally. Make no mistake, he is most .
effective. <
"All last summer, when nothing could
be done, hi? papers carried articles and ?
cartoons telling of the awful conditions,
in New York and of how the Governor
was unfaithful to his trust. Now, when
an effort is being made to improve con- ;
ditions, there is bareiy mention of it
in hi3 papers.
"Now that we are in the front line
trenches," the Governor continued,:
warming vp to his subject, "now that
we are face to face with a real common j
enemy to the interests of the peoplo
who want this legislation, where is
Hearst ?
"The day of the hearing, up in a
corner of his gazette, was just about
?that much"- here Mr. Smith indicated
with his fingers the space of about an
inch- ".riving it happened and just be?
cause the rest of the newspapers car-j
I'ied- broad headlines that there was]
real activity, he came out the next day j
with a whole page editorial denouncing]
the Governor because the Governor
didn't mean it.
Calls Hearst Stupid
"There is nothing more stupid out?
side hims .:' than that assertion.
"Just as soon as I declared I intended
to present this whole thing?to whom?
??to you. the people of this state, this
great champion of the rights of the
poor, starts an attack on me and ques?
tions my sincerity.
"VYhy if it -wasn't so humorous, it
would be something I could talk
aboui !
"He questions my sincerity!" the
Governor exclaimed with emphasis, "My
honesty.' "
Later ?n his address Mr. Smith re?
ferred to an advertisement of his pa?
pers that Hearst had inserted in other
dailies in which a school teacher is
quot? ?1 :. ; saying:
"Editorially, the 'New York American'
is in a class by itself."
"There is no doubt about that," he
continued. "Editorially it is in a class
by itself. .
"Let me say there is a legislative
committee in this state looking into
causes of unrest, studying the under?
lying theory of Bolshevism and
I. W. W.-ism and anarchy. Up to this
time that committee has entirely over?
looked these newspapers, the greatest
1 source of it that tins state or this
country ever had.
"Editorially it is in a class hv itself
and it cairn? within an eyelash of
being suppressed by the power of this
government during the war. There is
no question about that."

Doctors Named Called
In.Plot Hearing
Court Refuses to Permit Annie
Mills to Return to
Auburn
Magistrate Dodd, who is presiding
in Brooklyn at the hearing into
the charges of conspiracy brought
by Isaac E. Jersey, a contractor,
against United States Commis?
sioner Felix Rcifschm idcr, counsel
for Annie E. Mills, a negro woman, in
her recent suit, against Jersey, yester?
day ordered that subpoenas be issued
for the physicians who, the woman has
testified, performed operations upon
her.
The magistrate also directed that the
woman be not returned to Auburn
prison, where she is serving an eight
year term for falsely swearing that
jersey was the father of her children,
whom she really had adopted. Instead,
the woman is to be held hero until the
investigation is ended.
"There is no telling what will de?
velop in this case," said the magis?
trate, "and I think it best that Annie
Mills remain within reach until the
case is disposed of."
Lewis Josephs, a clerk in the office
of District Attorney Lewis, was a wit?
ness yesterday. He was asked by
Charles S. Harris, attorney for Jersey,
whether he had ever seen. Reif Schneid?
er, Rufus L. Perry, a negro lawyer, and
Annie Mills in conference at Reif
schncider's office and denied that he
had. He also denied the story told by
the Mills woman that when she re?
sponded to a subpeena in Special Ses?
sions, where the filiation case was pro?
ceeding, he told lier she ought to pay
attention to her lawyer, tore up her
subpeena and sent her home.

Van Name Figh!s Bus Line
City to Investigate Need, of Ser?
vice to Army Hospital
A proposal to establish a municipal
bus line, with a five-cent fare, from
St. George ferry to Fox Hills Army
Hospital, Staten Island, caused a flare'
up between President of the Board of
Aldermen La Guardia and Borough
President Van Name of Richmond at
the Board of Estimate meeting yester?
day.
Van Name objected to La Guardia's
resolution authorizing the line on the
i ground that the city should do nothing
j to interfere with the line operated by
i Albert C. F;ich, former District Attor
! ney of Richmond. La Guardia con?
tended that Fach had no permit and
that friends of wounded soldiers were
compelled to pay 25 cents to ride in
his busses.
The resolution went qver when Comp?
troller Craig objected to its considera
i tion before the matter had been tt?or
i o.ughly investigated. La Guardia said
! Colonel J. II. Ford, commandant of the
hospital, ?favored a municipal five-cent
i line and had obtained permission from
! the War Department for its establish
: ment.

Agadir Incident
Is Reviewed in
Caillaux Trial
Members of Court Show Im?
patience at Evidence Not
Bearing on the Charges
Against Former Premier
German Code Known
Poineare Denies Making
Statement Defendant In?
formed Berlin of Fact
TARIS, March 6.?All tho five wit?
nesses heard and the depositions read
thus far in the case of former Premier
I Joseph Caillaux, on trial before the
Senate sitting as a high court, charged
with having intrigued with the Ger?
mans for the promotion of a premature
and dishonorable peace, have dealt
almost exclusively with the negotia?
tions in connection with the incident
| at Agadir, Morocco, where the Ger
! mans landed a force of troops from the
; gunboat Panther in 1911.
The members of the court showed
some impatience at the trend of the
I evidence to-day, Prosecutor Lescouve
| having already informed the court that
j the Agadir negotiations were not in
; eluded in the charges against Caillaux.
| Senator Cornet, cross-examining Mau
j rice Hcrbette, formerly chief clerk in
j the Foreign Office, after the hitter's
lengthy testimony concerning the
Agadir treaty, asked him if he knew
: anything about the charges against
! Caillaux as far as intelligence with the
[ enemy was cencerned. Senator Bouv
( rie forestalled an answer by requesting
i the court to discuss whether further
evidence concerning Agadir should be
accepted.
German Code Known in Paris
The evidence brought out to-day
' showed that cipher telegrams from the
German Embassy in Paris to Wilhelm
strasse from 11)01 to 1911 might as well
have been sent in plain language, as
1 the German code was an open book to
?the French Foreign Office throughout
these years. A deposition of Alexan?
dre R.. Conty, French Ambassador to
1 Brazil, charging that Caillaux divulged
to Baron von Lanckeitr.Wakenitz, then
German Charg? d'Affaires at Paris, the
fact' that the Gchuan code was known
to the Foreign Office, causing an im?
mediate change in the cipher, was con?
tradicted by the deposition of former
, President Poineare, whom M. Conty
j gave as his authority for the charge.
The testimony of Justin do Salves,
! Foreign Minister under Caillaux, which
j was expected to cause a great debate
I between the accused and the witness,
[did not come up to expectations. Tho
former Minister declared he retained
! the opinion that the sending of a
i French warship to Agadir in the wake
| of the Panther was the logical move,
] while Caillaux maintained that it would
1 have been a great imprudence and
' might have caused war.
Kaiser Termed "Piece of Fur"
?
The accused produced what he
termed corroboration letters from Al?
fred von Kiderlcn-Waechter, former
, German Foreign Secretary, in which
j Dr. von Bcthmann-Hollweg, former Im
? perial Chancellor, was continually re
! ferred to as "a little beast" and the
Kaiser as "a piece of fur." Tho de?
fense claimed these letters proved that
Germany was aggressive and wanted
I war.
Orphaned Girl Needs Aid
A-n aged woman in the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn is making a des

' granddaughter. The little girl's father
died some time ago, and her grandpar?

Now the grandfather has died, leav
I ing behind him old Mrs. "Miller" in
poor health and with the responsibility
o? supporting a young girl. The Brook?

Divorce Witness Tells
Of Two-Minute Kisses
Rieh Contractor's Pretty Young
Wife Figures in Oscilla?
tory Marathon
Two-minutes kisses on the sands at
Long Beach were n vacation pastime of
Mrs. Emeretta I. Tilley, pretty young
wifo of Harry II. Tilley, rich Mount
Vernon, contractor, and Clarence R.
Dugan, according to the testimony of
Daniel F. O'Brien, a private detective,
in the trial at White Plains yesterday
of Tilley's suit for divorce. The action
is being heard by Justice Platt and a
jury. *
It was on Juno 21 last, according to
I O'Brien, that he was an interested ob
I server of the osculation of Mrs. Tilley
and the corespopdent. Dugan is sec
? rctary to one'of the vice-presidents of
I the New York Central.
"Dugan sat with his back against
: one of the cement piers," O'Brien
swore, "while Mrs. Tilley laid her head
I in his lap. Dugan would lean over and
kiss ker. Then Mrs. Tilley would raise
: her arms and place her hands on each
side of his face. The kisses lasted from
half a minute to two minutes apiece."
Photographs, purporting to be of
Mrs. Tiiley and Dugan, lying snuggle :
on the beach, were introduced in evi?
dence.
"Some .times," said O'Brien, "Mrs.
Tilley would throw a cape over Dugan's
head, and then I couldn't seo what
happened." ,

Barnes Plans
To Sell Europe
Flour on Credit
Tells House Committee 5
Million Bbls. Will Be So
Disposed Of Unless $50,
000,000 Loan Is Voted
Spokane Charges Denied
Work of Houser on Pacific
Coast Commended by
U. S. Grain Corp. Head
WASHINGTON, March 5.?-Five mill?
ion barrels of Federal Grain Corpora?
tion soft wheat flour will be sold on |
credit in Europe soon unless Congress
authorizes the $50,000,000 loans to j
finance the sales, Julius Barnes, head
of the corporation, told the House
Rules Committee. He said ho now had |
authority to make the sales on credit,
but hoped the loans would bo author?
ized.
The flour, now held at American
ports and for whicn the corporation
asks $10.75 a barrel, is "the cheapest
in the world," Mr Barnes told the com?
mittee. He added that "every effort
had been exhausted to sell it for cash," j
but that American housewives would
pay higher prices for the hard wheat
flour.
"Why are prices of flour going up?"
asked Representative Fess, Republican,
of Ohio
"The last year crop yield was a pe?
culiar one," nnswered Mr. Barnes.
"There was a small yield of hard wheat j
and a big yield of soft wheat. Flour
made of soft wheat could be obtained
for domestic use at all times at the
exact reflection of the government
guaranteed price of wheat.
Millers Bid Up Prices
"The pressure for a different kind of
flour by the housewives led the millers
to bid up the prices, and in North
Dakota in five months the hard wheat
price was increased GO cents a bushel
above tho guarantee."
In connection with the flour stocks
of the Grain Corporation, Mr. Barnes
said that the advertising campaign to
promote domestic sale of the soft wheat
product had "failed" and that the
stocks are "blocking" many American
ports. With warm weather it will j
deteriorate rapidly, he added.
The fifty million dollar appropria?
tion for food relief, he continued, i
"would not put us in the market for \
a syigle barrel of flour," and the en- j
tire fund would be used for sale of |
the product. Legislation in such a j
form would encourage other countries
to contribute to the relief fund, he said.
Failing, the appropriating measure,
Mr. Barnes asked Congressional in- ;
dorsement of sales on credit, adding
that he might have to act without such
sanction. |
Poland and Austria each need 200,000
tons of flour, Mr. Barnes said he had
been advised. Other countries, includ?
ing Armenia, Hungary and Czecho-Slo- j
vakia, need more than 7o,000 tons, he
said.
Charges of tho Spokane (Wash.)
grand jury, alleging wheat price manip?
ulation by grain corporation agents,
were mentioned. Mr. Barnes said he
had asked the Department of Justice to
make a thorough inquiry. The grand
jury report was a statement on eco?
nomic conditions in the Pacific North?
west, Mr. Barnes said, and recommend?
ed that "the President use powers that
do not exist." He added that the cor?
poration had not bought wheat or flour
at more than the guarantee price.
Max H. Houser, vice-president of the
corporation and in charge of its work
in the Pacific Northwest, named in the
Spokane report as interested financially
in several grain companies, wa3 de?
clared by Mr. Barnes to be "an honest
man." Houser, he said, had dissociated
himself voluntarily from the com?
panies in which he was interested as
far as possible, but "could not with?
draw his capital investment from the
companies." Being thus unable to with?
draw completely from these companies,
Mr. Barnes said, Houser kept out of
their conduct and gave all earnings
above ?"> per cent on his investment to
charity. This was a fine exhibition,
Mr. Barnes declared.
U. S. Grain Corporation
Investigation Favored
Senate Committee Recommends
Adoption of Resolution for In?
quiry Into Seattle Charges
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 6.?An In?
vestigation of the activities of* the
United States Grain Corporation was
recommended to-day by the Senate
Committee on Audit and Control of
Contingent Expenses. The committee
ordered the report to-morrow of the
Reed resolution providing for the in?
quiry by the Manufactures Committee
of the Seriate.
The resolution will be laid before the
Senate with a recommendation for its
early adoption, Senator Calder, of New
York, chairman of the committee, said.
Sehator Reed introduced the resolu?
tion as the result of the recent grand
jury report at Spokane, alleging scan?
dal in connection with the, grain cor?
poration's operations. It was referred
to the committee after Senator Reed
and Senator Fernald, of Maine, had
charged the Department of Justice
with having "pigeonholed" the jury's
report for two weeks.
The resolution to-day called forth a
letter frort%Attorney General Palmer,
in which Mr. Palmer declared that as
soon as he received the report he or?
dered the Federal attorneys at Spokane
and at Portland, Ore., to investigate
tho grand jury's findings.

Palmer Will Seek Full
Pennsylvania Delegation
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.?The Pres?
idential campaign of Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer in Pennsylvania
wa ?-officially launched here to-day at a
conference of local and state Demo?
cratic leaders. After the conference
former Congressman Bruce, of Sterling,
campaign manager for M^.Palmer, an?
nounced the formation of the Palmer
Pennsylvania campaign committee in
every one of the thirtw-two Congres?
sional districts of the state.
Mr. Sterling declared that the fight
for a solid delegation from this state
to the Democratic National Convention
at San Francisco next June, pledged to
support Attorney General Palmer for
tho Presidential nomination, will be im?
mediately opened.
Particular significance is attached to
to-day's conference in view of the fact
that a call had been issued by the anti
Palmer Democrats last week for a con?
ference in the Bellevue Stratford Hotel ?
to-morrow. It is believed by many per- |
sons that the opponents of the Attorney I
Genera! within the Democratic party in !
Pennsylvania will decide at to-morrow's \
conference to enter candidates against j
Palmer in virtually every district.
While no stand has been taken by the !
Palmer leaders in this state upon the
liquor question, the personnel of the
campaign committee shows that a ma?
jority of them are "wet."

Joins General
Wood's Forces
Continued from paito 1
be .an Insult to the memory of every
man who died in France and in every
previous war that wc have waged."
According to advices received by the
Wood men yesterday, Senator Harding
came out second best in the first poll
conducted in the Buckeye state for ;
Presidential preference. The poll was
conducted by "The Middletown Jour?
nal" and the figures were: Wood, 141;
Harding, 130.
In the Jasper County (Mo.) primaries,
held the same day last week that the
county convention was held, the Wood
men had the best of it on a show of
strength by the following vote: Wood,
190; Lowden, 73; Hughes, 30; John?
son, 17; Lodge, 6; Harding, 1; Capper,
; Coolidge, 1. Mr. Franks, one of the
hicago convention delegates, follow?
ing the test of strength declared for
General Wood.
Thomas N. McCarter, of the Public i
Service Corporation of New Jersey, yes- !
terday came out for General Wood in
a letter in which he said:
"General Wood's election is for the !
best interests of the party and the
country" generally."
Mr. McCarter says that Dr. Butler,
Governor Lowden and Senator Harding i
are all good men and would make good
Presidents, but that none of them com
bines the necessary winning attributes
as does General Wood.
Marshall and Edwards in
Race; McAdoo^ Too Late j
INDIANAPOLIS, March 5.?A petition
of 720 names of voters mostly of this
fc
county, was filed with the Secretary
State shortly after 4 o'clock this aft?
noon, asking that the name of Govern
or Edward I. Edward?, ?r New .
sey be placed upon the Democratic b,i
lot to be voted on for the Presid???
at the coming primary election, May 4
This was the last day for filing.
The sudden appearance of the ball
Edwards petition resulted in drain?t^
activity on the part of the friends e'
Vive-President Marshall, who had bee
warned that Edwards petitions wer
being circulated and w.ire keeping Q]Zl
watch at the Secretary of State's offie
in case a coup should be conterap!at<lj
The Edwards petition had hardly beV?
handed to the recording clerk to h
stamped with the state's seal and for
mally entered, when there was irres?
rushing "to and fro. Word was hast:!>
sent to James Fry, Collector of Cu?,
toms, who has been looking after the
Vice-President'3 interests here, and
few minutes later the Marshall petition*
which had been kepi In readiness in
case of emergency, was filed.
A petition had been prepared for
William G. McAdoo, but had been wit/
held on agreement with the Marafca?i
cohorts that neither should file in cas*
no other candidate er.tered. The Me
Adoo petition ?3 said to have been
locked in a safe, the owner of which
could not be reached in time for it'to
be filed.
One of the causes of the scramble
among the Marshal! force* was owin??
to the Indiana state law which govern!
the primary elections. This law sp?cifie?
that a Presidential petition must be
signed by at least 500 voters, and that
if any such candidate receives
majority of the votes cast in the
primarv the thirty delegates to the
National Convention of that party must
vote for him as long as his name ?1
before the convention.
The decision to put the name
of Governor Edwards on the ballot war
impromptu. His Indianapolis supp?t
ers say that if the petition had been
circulated over a period of seven!
weeks thousands would have signed it
