Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Statements
by two men, one of whom claims to
have seen the '"death wagon" which
carted the explosive standing near the
assa.y office at 10:30 a. m. Thursday,
one and one-half hours before the ex
plosion in Wall street occurred, and the
other who claims to have seen three
men running away from the scene just
before the blast, furnished the most
important developments today in the
investigations of the disaster.
Other developments included:
Announcement by the district attor
ney's office that Edwin P. Fischer, law
yer and former employe 'of the French
high commission, who sent post card
warnings of the disaster from Toronto,
virtually had eliminated himself from
any direct knowledge or complicity in
the case after eight hours questioning.
Receipt of a warning by William II.
Edwards, collector of internal revenue,
that an attempt would be made to de
stroy the customs house at 2 p. m. to
morrow. This was regarded by the
police as a hoax.
Identification of the hitherto uniden
tified body, previously believed as prob
ably that of the driver of the explosion
laden wagon, as that of Elmer W. Keh
rer. a chauffeur, and lack of any evi
dence connecting him with the crime.
Release of Alexander Brailovsky, a
Russian journalist, who was arrested on
a technical charge of being an unde
sirable alien after he admitted having
been seen in the vicinity of Broad and
Wall streets shortly after the explosion.
Search by federal agents for a re
ported cache of explosives on Plumb
Beach Island, a government reservation j
off Sheepshead bay, where a quantity i
of trinitrotoluol was found in an aban
doned vessel several months ago.
Humane Officer Gives Evidence
Joseph Meade, an agent for the so
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. Is the man who claims to have
seen the "death wagon." He said he
had beeo sent to Manhattan from a
Brooklyn court to serve a summons and
that while walking up Broad street,
noticed an old red delivery wagon in
front of the assay office around the
corner The horse appeared broken
down, he said, and he made an exami
nation of it, finding a bad sore under
the collar.
He locked at his watch and noticed
It was 10:30. he told the police, and
waited beside the wagon until 11:30
with the intention of serving a sum
mons on the driver when he was forced
to leave in order to serve his Brooklvn
summons. He did not examine closely
the contents of the wagon but described
it as an "ordinary dilapidated express
wagon."
He also told the police the collar
worn by the horse was of the "K" type
and this is the kind of collar found
in the street after the explosion. He
also noticed that all the ornamental
knobs and other markings had been
stripped from the harness and in this,
too, his description tallies with that
of the material found. He also stated
that the horse had been but recently
clipped and that the wagon bore "no
name but had some numerals on the
aide.
Police attach considerable impor
tance to Meade's statement.
Saw Three Men Running Away
Information that three suspicious
looking men were seen running from
the scene was furnished by Samuel B.
Wellington, president of the West In
dies Trading company. He declared
he left a lawyer's office in Wall street
a few minutes before noon Thursday
and as he did he heard voices calling:
"Hurry.
"Beat it.
'Get out of this."
He looked across the street and saw
two middje aged men, who looked to
him like ''east side peddlers," beckon
ing and calling to a third man who
was on the other side of the street
nearer the assay office and across the
street from the Morgan bank. The
third man, believed to be about 60
vears of age and described as "greasy
looking." then was peering into the
ramshackle wagon at the curb.
In response to the call of the others,
the third man, Mr. Wellington said,
started to run after them toward Wil
liam street. He tooK tnem ror cona

IIGUITIES II
LEAGUE COMPACT
THREATEN PEACE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
MARION, O.. Sept. 20 Warning that
the league of nations is full of "known
ambiguities" and that it was an am
biguity in our constitution that led to
the civil war, Senator Harding today
asked a delegation of civil war vet
erans and a delegation of Kentucky
and Tenessee citizens "how we ever
can consent to enter into a new world
compact with a dozen ambiguities
in it."
The senator asserted that article 10
of the league is a "reciprocal pledge
on our part to help preserve the Inde
pendence and national integrity of 44
nations," and that the article and its
correlaries "clearly contemplate war if
need be. to make this preservation
possible."
Asserting that President Wilson had
placed the "purport of an obsolete
Clayton-Bulwer treaty" above our con
stitutional ri'ghts, in requiring tolls
from American vessels passing
through the Panama canal, Senator
Harding exclaimed:
"Who cares to say that this samo
sort of logic will not some day be used
to plague an unwilling America into
foreign wars if we unreservedly sub
scribe to arti'cle 10, the constitution to
the contrary, notwithstanding."
Civil War Wounds Healed
Senator Harding said in part:
"I like to think of the blend of Ken
tucky and Tennessee with the sons of
the North who saved the nation. I
like to think that in 1920, there are
few wounds of the civil war remaining.
there are few signs of sectionalism in
our national life and there is no one
who regrets the winning of the war by
the north and the preservation of this
wonderful land o ours.
"I like to recall that after all there
were no very great differences between
us. I only think it was a mi'sdirected
passion for country. You know there
were two schools of American politics
from the very beginning. One was
the national school and the other was
the school of states' rights. These two
schools were in conflict from the very
beginning of the republic; they waged
their warfare with never ending in
tensity until it finally culminated in
the great civil war and in that conflict
the question was settled and the
United States committed everlastingly
to nationality.
Ambiguity Caused Civil War
"Have you ever stopped to think that
we, one people, witn naturally one in
terest were- led into the civil war by
a mere ambiguity in the federal con
stitution? In the begmning we were
so divided in our ideas that there was
of necessity uncertainty left in the
compact that was made and it re
quired the civil war to wipe it out.
And that- was a very great price to
pay. But remembering that, my coun
trymen, I want to ask you, knowing
the cost of wiping out the ambiguity
in the constitution of our own repub
lic, how can we ever consent to enter
into a new world compact with a dozen
ambiguities in it?
"Let me call your particular atten
tion to one; there is much dispute
about that which is known as 'the
heart of the -league.' No American
can ne simultaneously tor article io
and for the constitution of our repub
lie any more than an American In Lin
coln's time could be simultaneously
for emancipation and for slavery.
"Let me say right here in passing,
that I am a fairly sympathetic human
being and I wouldn't break the heart
of anybody knowingly, but I would
rather break the heart of the world
than destroy the soul of the United
States of America."

KENNY NOT AMERICAN CITIZEN
QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 30 The
American vice consul here, John E.
McAndrews, tonight received papers
upon which a claim for American
citizenship of Joseph Kenny, one of

to be based. ,
They proved to be merely a declara

No evidence was submitted to show
that Kenny had completed the natur

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. Relief
from what was described as possible
"destruction of the livestock industry"
through curtailment of banking loans
was sought from the federal reserve
board today by a committee of live
stock producers. They asked the board
to encourage banks of the reserve sys
tem to aid them financially in raising
and marketing their product.
The committee which came as the
representatives of a Chicago confer
ence of producers, packers and bankers.
predicted dire consequences to the live
stock industry throughout the west
unless bankers and cattle loan com
panies discontinue "calling" loans.
They said millions of dollars in loans
were maturing this fall and they be
lieved a re-assurance from the board
that it approved of such credit exten
sion of the banks would materially les
sen the difficulties with which the live
stock men have to deal.
Governor Harding said the board's
policy had been to look upon the live
stock and other food producing indus
tries "as vitally essential." He ex
plained the board could not direct or
compel loans by any banks but that it
had planned with the reserve, banks for
aid for the agricultural interests to tho
extent of nearly one billion dollars this
year.
Stock Industry Threatened
Committee spokesmen told the board
that, as a result of the credit situation,
"the little cow man and sheep man"
was being forced to dispose of young
stock which, if he could borrow more
money, would have been kept on the
farms and ranges. Frank J. Hagen
barth of Salt Lake declared this to be
the indication of "a destruction of the
industry." The sale of young livestock
or breeding herds, he said, was being
forced in many sections because the
owners were unable to finance the
feeding of their herds. He said also
that in the Pacific northwest there was
an abundance of roughage but little
stock to feed it to because of tightened
credit.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, blamed
eastern bankers for not "helping the
livestock men of the west, instead of
J financing automobile manufacturers in
exporting their products to Europe."
Governor Harding interrupted to as
sure the senators that the board could
not say to member banks that they
should or should not loan to the motor
manufacturer. He declared again that
it never had defined any industry as
essential or non-essential but had left
such decisions to local hankers.
Governor Harding said he did not. be
lieve the producers who were borrow
ing were employing the credit that
they might withhold the meat supply
from the market. The board's infor
mation, he said, showed the loans to
livestock men, in most all casc3 were
for actual production purposes. With
this sort of use of credit he said the
board was in entire accord.

BENEVOLENT SEEDS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON', Sept. 20 Announc
ing that the "Benevolent purpose" of
this country's occupation of the Island
of Haiti was "nearing" attainment.
Secretary Colby declared in a state
ment tonight that the United States
"hopes" to withdraw and leave the
island's administration to the "unaided
efforts of the Haitien people," when
that purpose has been fully achieved.
The relations of the United States with
Haiti, the secretary added, "should not
be misrepresented even under the
temptations that a political campaign
presents to irresponsible utterance and
conscious unveracity."
While not replying directly to recent
charges by Senator Harding that the
administration was conducting "un
constitutional warfare" against Haiti
and San Domingo, Secretary Colby de
fended American occupation of those
countries as being guided by "no
thought except to help" their people.
Senator Harding's attack on the ad
ministration's record in Haiti was
made in connection with a criticism of
recent statements in regard to the
island by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dem
ocratic vice-presidential nominee.
Earlier in the day it was learned that
the state department had informed G.
I'aran, Haitian minister of foreign af
fairs, that the salaries of the president
and other high officials o Haitien
government, which ha e been withheld
since last June, would he so withheld
until the native government ceased to
interpose obstacles to the carrying out
of certain provisions of the treaty
entered into tit the time of this
country's occupation of the island. The
American government informed the
Haitien minister of foreign affairs
that his government could expect no
relief from this section until the Hai
tien government adopted a less an
tagonistic attitude toward the Ameri
can authorities.
Protest against American interven
tion in Santo Domingo was made in a
statement tonight by Julio M. Cestero,
representing the Dominican junta in

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Three negroes
wero beseiged for more than an hour in
St. Gabriel's Catholic church on the
south side tonight by a mob of a thou
sand persons after the negroes had
killed a white man, Charles Barrett,
who is said to have gone to the rescue
of a white girl insulted by the negroes.
They were rescued and placed in jail
when squads of policemen were sent
to avert a possible race riot.
Chief of Police Garrlty ordered the
entire police force mobilized and placed
several hundred extra policemen around
the scene of the trouble, which was at
the southeast corner of the stockyards
where several thousand negroes are
employed .
Shortly after Barrett had been killed,
three negroes were dragged from a
street car two blocks away and
severely beaten.
The negroes who killed Barrett, cut
ting his throat with a razor, were
chased several blocks by a continually
increasing crowd and finally dashed
into the cJhureh. Two hid in the con
fessional and one back of the altar.
Sticks and stones were thrown at the
church and frequent yells of "lynch
them' came from the crowd. Father
Burke, pastor of the church, pleaded
with the crowd to disperse, but with
out avail. Only when policemen armed
with rifles appeared the mob broke up.
The south side "black belt." the
scene of . disastrous race riots a year
ago, was placed under heavy guard, as
was. the stockyards quarter.

that Benton would be asked "to tell

I Colonel Rountree, who, during the
I A A " f ? I
lifetime of Senator Bankhead, father of
national highway legislation, was th
right hand man of the great Alabama
senator, said last evening:
"There is evidently a serious mis
understanding because of the move
ment of the convoy from Tucson to
Yuma via Ajo. This is only a detour
caused by a bad crossing on the Oilu,
and the location of the Bankhead high
way through I'hoenlx will remain un
changed. 'There is an immense advantage
from a national standpoint in having
the Bankhead highway, which will un
doubtedly be one of the first federal
transcontinental highways constructed,
pass through the great irrigated val
leys of the Salt and Gila rivers. These
valleys give to all those crossing the
country an object lesson of the won
derful home making possibilities of our
national reclamation policy, and it
would be most unwise to consider any
change which would prevent this preat
national -'highway from traversing:
these marvelous valleys of the South
west with their unnumbered evi
dences of prosperity aud dovoiopmrrt.
'A wonderful asset which you hao
in Arizona is the Roosevelt dam and
the Apache trail, and I hope the day
is not far distant when this road can
be improved as a permanent branch of
the Bankhead highway, as recom
mended by our association.
