New York Attorney Would
« Have Campaign Expenses
Paid From Taxes.
RY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE.
Federal funds for financing prosi
denUal campaigns -i.e.. appropriations
for quadrennial national contests from
taxpayers' money—would be \oted by
Congress, if a now! plan just suggested
to Washington political leaders were
carried out It originates, apropos the
Sinclair oii-G O. P revelations, v ith
T. W. D. Duke, a well known member
of the New York bar
Mr Duke's project would call for
deduction of a round sum from income
txxes paid into the Treasury and its
(:nsion in equal parts, in presiden
* al years, between the two major par
ies. Expenditure would be limited bv
aw, surplus would be repayable 90
days after election, and supervision
w mid be in the hands of responsible
party committees which would report
te the Federal authorities. The New
Yorker's suggestion has just been
brought to the attention of Senator t
Canpcr. who is now calling for rigid
congressional regulation of "campaign
barrels."'
Dm We Explains Plan.
Mr Duke in discussing his unique
en’erprise with this writer describes
3?;'S as the ideal moment to carry it
out because of current events, and he
would have Congress legislate for it |
during the remaining weeks preceding
the two national conventions "F'or the
initial experiment and the first super- ;
vising committee - ' says Mr Duke, "it
would be difficult to conceive of two
men entitled to. or commanding, more
respect than Charles F Hughes and
.Tohn W Davis The details of admin
istration could be left to subordinates,
bit the country, as a whole, would
have the utmost confidence In these
*wo gentlemen The Republican party ,
would benefit from such an arrange- i
Trent, for it won id free the organiza- j
•!->n from the imputation of victory
due largelv to superior financial back
ing The Democratic party would bene- j
fit because for the first time it would j
probably have an adequate campaign
f ind Os course, some people would
insist that the 'financial interests' were
buving both parties, but all contribu- j
tions would be a matter of public rec- <
eird and any improper procedure would
be readilv apparent ”
-Just what would be the modus oper- j
•ndi of your plan for Treasury grants
for presidential campaigns?” Mr. Duke
was asked
' We begin with The assumption that j
modem conditions necessitate exprndi- j
ture of substantial sums," he replied
*L therefore, propose that a single cam- j
paign fund be raised to which the Re
publican national committee and the
Democratic national committee would
each be entitled to one-half Contri
butions to such a fund could be made
deductible from income tax returns by
appropriate legislation, and any unex
pended balance thereof existing, say
three months subsequent to election
dav. could be paid over to the United j
States Treasury.
Handling as Accounts.
•'Each party could thereupon pledge
Itself to limit its expenditures to its
proportionate share of sue* fund, and
all withdrawals therefrom should be
made by duly authorized vouchers,
which would be properly audited by
some firm of nationally known account
ants. Such fund should be intrusted
to a committee selected from the two j
parties?’
Mr. Duke admits that any immediate!
Trial nf his scheme might develop faults, j
but if the experiment were attempted
In the 1923 presidential campaign and
proved workable, the New York law
yer thinks it could be modified in the!
light of experience. He also believe*
that it could eventually be adapted for;
use in State campaigns.
At the end of February, and almost
a full month before Senator Capper.
Republican of Kansas, hurled his re-!
cent bombshell at the ''oil smudge.”l
which he asserts "smears the Republi
can trail" the Democratic national c«»n- !
greasional committee Issued to its mem- *
ber* throughout the country a reprint j
of a book published exactly a year ago
by Perry Belmont. The latter, for I
many years a prominent Democratic
member of the House of Representative*
from New York,. and now a resident of
Washington, emphasized the necessity, j
following the Pennsylvania and Illinois
senatorial slush-fund v andals, of deal- j
inf with national party funds He ad- j
vacated the enactment by Congress of
a publicity law applicable to primaries
before-the 192* presidential campaign.
Publicity Plan explained
Publicity laws such as Mr Belmont
propose* would not contemplate, he says,
any limitation of campaign expendi
ture* or denounce or seek to punish
cum, as such. 'They would go no
further” Mr. Belmont writes in his book
on the subject, "than to compel the
turning on of the light, leaving to pub
lic opinion to State legislatures and to
Congress, in separate acts, the power
and responsibility of dealing with that
which is disclosed by publicity.”

HARDING'S ESTATE

considerable light on what's been going
on in the last four years.”
Robinson sought to show that Sin
clair contributed heavily to Smiths
gubernatorial campaign in 1920 and
afterward became a member of the New
i York State Racing Commission, hold- |
mg that post until after the first oil
revelations. Chairman Nve said the
oil committee had been informed that •
such was the case, but added he saw no
reason for calling the New York gov- j
rrnor. Gov. Smith declined to com
ment when informed in New York of!
this development.
Reed Defends Smith.
Senator Reed. Democrat. Missouri, j
j candidate for the presidential nomina- j
tkm. defended Smith against what he
termed an unwarranted insinuation
Previously, he had scored Sinclair's
$16(1000 contribution and declared com
plete rectification could be had only
by the resignation of responsible party
leaders, especially Secretary Mellon. He
also condemned the silence of Presi
dent C-oolidgc.
During the entire three hours of de
bate, which revolved largelv around
the attempt of Senator Borah. Repub
lican. Idaho, to collect from individual
i Republicans a "repudiation" fund to
return to Sinclair, not a voice was
raised in defense of the administration
or the party's acceptance of the Sinclair
donation.
Senator Harrison. Democrat. Missis*
i sippi. who started the row with a re
view of Will H. Hays’ management of
the Harding campaign, criticized Chalr
• man Nye for his Baltimore speech at
tacking Borah. Nye defended himself
and Borah also got into the fray de
fending his owm course, declaring that
if the Republicans nominate a man at
Kansas City whose “clothes smell of
smut, it will go to defeat."
Harrison, as well as Senator La Pol
lette. Republican. Wisconsin.* brought
the name of Herbert Hoover, a candi
date for the Republican presidential
nomination, into the argument, the for
mer declaring the Commerce Secretary
was one of three cabinet members who
attended a meeting called bv Harding
to plan how the 1920 deficit would be
raised.
Cool id ge Criticized.
La Pollette, a Republican irregular,
said both Hoover and Charles E Hughes
were in the cabinet when the Sinclair
contribution was made and neither had
condemned it. He also criticized the
continued silence of President Cooiidge.
who. he said, was the chief beneficiarv
of the Sinclair gift, because it “cleared
the decks for the 1924 campaign.”
Robinson injected the name of the
late Franklin K. Lane. Secretary of
Interior during a part of the Wilson
administration, who. he said, approved
some of the first leases in the naval oil
reserves and became identified with
the Doheny interests after leaving the
cabinet.
Senators Johnson. Republican. Call
, fornla. and Glass. Democrat. Virginia,
the latter a cabinet associate of Lane,
: the deceased cabinet officer, also spoke.
Glass termed the Robinson attack a
• “dastardly insinuation" and said Lane
left the cabinet a poor men.
When Nve demanded an explana
tion from the Democrats of the recent
contribution of 950.000 to their esm
i paign chests by Thomas Fortune Rvan

successful in the 1920 election the oil
reserve leases would have fared Just

SKEPTICAL OF BIG
COAL CONFERENCE
Cooiidge Feels Fisher Would
Get Better Results With
Few at Board.
Because of the size of the conference
Gov. Fisher of Pennsylvania Is under
stood to be arranging to consider re
adjustment of the coal industry. Presi
dent Cooiidge doubts if the results
would be practical or affirmative.
The President would be happy to see
something of that kind brought about,
but he is inclined to think that more
would be accomplished if the conference
was smaller. According to the reports,
the governor is suggesting a conference
to be attended by representatives of thp
various coal-producing States, of the
| mine operators and miners and the Fed
eral Government.
The President based his doubts about
the success of such a conference upon
the lack of results growing out of the
recent parley between the Secretary of
Labor and representatives of the opera
tors and miners.
If the subject to be considered was
the mere question of wages, the con
ference as proposed by Gov. Fisher,
1 the President believes, would hold out
more"promise. Inasmuch as the entire
i economic problem brought about by the
coal situation and involved in the mat
' Ter of reorganizing the industry would
; have to be discussed, the President is
not hopeful of any great results.
However, if Gov. Fisher wishes to
j hold such a conference, he would not
oppose it and would no doubt have the
j Government represented.

in receiving It,” Chief Justice Martin
said .
“The cards were bought at Marshall
Field A: Co, and I think they must have
been shipped to me by my son-in-law,
Adolph H. Sus. I assume that, because
it develops that the package in question
bore the return address of one of the
Sinclair companies. That Is quite likely,
because my son-in-law is an employe
of the Sinclair Refining Co, and prob
ably he had the package sent out from
his office.”
Chief Justice Martin said he never
had received any Liberty bonds from or
had any business dealings with Sinclair
or any one else connected in any way
with the Teapot Dome case. He added
that because of the employment of his

COOIIDGE REGRETS
ESCH’S REJECTION
But President Will Accept
Senate’s Action as
Final.
President Cooiidge not only regrets
the rejection of the nomination of John :
J. Esch for reappointment to the In- I
terstate Commerce Commission, but he I
is fearful that the action on the part j
of that body In attempting to review I
decisions of the commission will make I
it very difficult for the Executive to ob- |
tain services in the future of men of |
known ability.
The President was represented as r
feeling that it will be extremely hard
to appoint men who are peculiarly
qualified to serve if the latter are to
feel that their decisions while on the
commission are to be reviewed and
judged by the Senate when the time
comes for reappointment. Those with
i whom the President has discussed the
; Senate's rejection of Mr. Esch realize
that he was extremely disappointed a:
the Senate's action.
He looked upon Mr Esch as being
especially well equipped for the com- !
mission because of his long experience
in the House, and that he has reason
to know that he has become a valuable i
member of the commission since he was j
appointed to it.
The President, however, will regard |
the Senates rejection as final and will
not give Mr. Esch another recess ap
pointment, He has requested Mr. Esch
I to remain at his post until the Senate I
adjourns, so he will have more time to !
! find some one sufficiently well equipped
to appoint to the place, and to enable !
Mr. Esch an oppotrunity to finish the j
cases that are now being personally
handled by him.

FAISON AWAITING
VERDICT OF JURY
’ 1 |
Panel Locked Up for Night
After Failing to Agree on
One of Five Findings.
B.v tltn AsKorinted Pro**,
RICHMOND. Va„ March 20 —John 1
Wesley Faison, a former Sunday school
| superintendent and ex-manager of the
I fashionable Hermitage Club, awaited a
! jury's verdict today in his second trial
! on a charge of slaying a young woman
for wliom he abandoned his wife and
| five children.
The 12 men who will decide his fate
| were in Hustings Court to continue
j their deliberations after 1 hour and 18 ,
minutes last night had been insufficient
to produce a verdict. The Jury In the
first trial last December was discharged
after failing to reach an agreement.
Defense Claims Suicide.
Faison contended that Mrs. Elsie Holt
i Snipes, a young divorcee of Princeton,
I N. C.. committed suicide when hr told
her he intended to break off their rela
j tions and return to his wife and chll-
I dren.
! Mrs. Faison stood by her husband. »c
--j cepting his story of suicide and testify
i ing that she knew of the affair with
| “the other woman" but was confident
J that her husband would return.
State attorneys drew a different ver
sion of the case. Faison was pictured
as a jealous lover, afraid that Mrs.
Snipes would abandon him The com
monwealth's attorneys sought to con
vince the Jury that Faison killed the
young woman in a jealous rage.
Court Explains Verdicts.
Argumenls w r cre completed in the
crowded courtroom last night, at 7:49
o'clock, and Judge Ernest Wells gave
the case to the jury at. 8 49, lmmedt- 1
ately after a recess for lunch. Fore- j
man Rafe L. Drake requested the ad- !
I journment until today at 10:07. with j
the statement that "it is impossible tor ;
us to reach an agreement tonight."
i The jury requested Judge Wells to I
. explain the various verdicts that might
jbe found just as court convened. These
Included first and second degree murder,
voluntary and involuntary manslaughter,
and the punishment for each, and ac- j
j qultt&l.
The jury retired after receiving the j
I information, taking with them the chair j
■ tn which Mrs. Snipes wxis sitting at the
| time of her death, two pistols found in j
| the Snipes apartment, a diagram of the J
scene of the tragedy made by the de
fense and the instructions of the court. :
