CRITICISM IS
HEAPED UPON
ENVOY DANIELS
WASHINGTON, Feb 8. <JP>— Am
bussed or Josephus Daniels was ac
cused Friday by Repreaentativa Con
nery (D-Mlss) of “cooperating with
tyrant* of Mexico to enslave the
Mexican people.”
In a speech on the house floor the
labor oommittee chairman demand
ed that the United States withdraw
recopr.it ion of the Mexican govern
"Liberty of religious worship, of
education, of speech, and of the press
ere denied ell who live In Mexico,”
he said.
Connery had this to say of Dan
iels:
"Mr. speaker, 1 believe that the
honorable Josephus Daniels and oth
er representatives of the American
goverment In Mexico, who for some
unknown reason are cooperating
with the tyrants of Mexico to en
clave the Mexican people, should be
summoned back to the United States
end forced to tell the truth of the
conditions which exist In that coun
try at this time.”
Mexico, he charged, has violated
an agreement by which the United
States, in the Wilson administra
tion, recognized the Mexican govern
ment with a specific reservation that
all Mexicans be granted freedom of
worship
“It is the duty of congress, the
duty of the state department,” Con
nery declared.” to notify the Mexican
government that they having violat
ed the agreement ••, we on our part,
to be consistent, are forced to with
draw further recognition and to
withdraw from that country any rep
resentatives ws may have there."
Pointing to what he decrlbed as
ample precedents for Interfering be
low the border, Connery asserted this
country never had qualms about in
terference when the Interests of
American corporations were at stake
Wants Inquiry
Ha advocated an inquiry Immed
iately should there be any doubt In
the state department or congress as
to “Intolerable slavery which exists
In Mexico.”
“The people of Mexico today are
suffering under the lash of oppres
sion. a lash wielded by a tyrannical
group, a minority in power In the
government." Connery said.
"These men are using the military
forces of that country In the age
old effort of paganism and atheism
to forbid free Mexicans from wor
shipping the divine creator In their
churches: and by teaching commun
ism in their schools, which they have
placed absolutely under their dom
ination, they are striving to obliter
ate the name of God from the minds
of the children "
He said thst while the republic Is
•0 per cent Catholic. It 1* not only
Catholics who are suffering prosec
ution and thst spokesmen for other
religious groups have complained.

to the state police?
A. I did not.
The attorney general said: “That’s
all." and Pope was on his feet In
quiring “why” the witness had not
reported It.
The gas station man said he did
not recognise the pictures of the
kidnap ladder as the same one he
saw on the coupe.
He explained that when he saw the
ladder it was “nested” where pic
tures after the kidnaping showed it
extended “I didn't want to make a
fool of myself reporting when I
wasn’t sure.”
Wllentz sought to show that Bol
mer had had plenty of opportunity
to Identify the ladder from news
paper photograhs and a broadcast
description.
Bolmer said he had never identi
fied it because he had not been ask
ed.
■wald Mlelke. employe of a plan
ing mill at Lyndhur-st, N. Y, was
called by Pope for testimony on plan
ers and tools.
Mielke after saying he was a
carpenter and millwright original
ly by trade, told Pope he was an ex
pert at matching the grain in wood,
and had handled much North Caro
lina pine, t
Pope then asked him if he were
familiar with tools. When the wit
ness nodded, the defense counsel
asked him about planes.
Q. What usually causes a nick in
the knife of a plane?
A. Grit on the board, sometimes a
Ball.
Pope produced the attic board.
Q In vour examination of this
board and the rail in the ladder, were
you able to say they were part and
parcel of the same board?
Wilents objected that the witness
had had no experience in the Idepti
fication of wood and should nSt be
allowed to answer.
“He's not called as a wood techni
cian." Pope explained, “but as a
practical man In handling lumber ”
Wllentz questioned him.
abort Examination
Q. How long did you examine these
boards?
A. About five minutes
In his work of matching cabinet

wood, the witness told Wllents, he
hsd never determined whether any
two pieces hsd come from the same
board.
Q. You are not attempting to tell
now that you can say if two pieces
of wood came from the same board?
A. I could if a piece hadn’t been
cut out.
Q. If there was any separation you
could not tell?
A. Positively not.
Q. If the boards had been cut and
a piece taken out between them, you
would not be able to tell if the two
werse once the same piece?
A. I could not and no one else
could I don’t think.
Pope resumed questioning.
Q If there was an inch and three
quarters missing, could you identify
two pieces?
A. If the grain was matching.
Mielke said he had a grove of
southern pine trees back of his mill I
and was familiar with their growth
Pope proceeding along a new line,
had the witness tell the Jury he
had handled ten million feet of
North Carolina pine and was fa
miliar with the various grades.
The mill man said the attic board
waa "No. 2. common North Carolina
pine, used In sheatmg and similar
uses.
Q What part of tha tree did it
come from?
A. The upper part.
Q. Why do you say that?
A. Because of the spacing of the
knot* They are wide apart. It's not
butt pine.
Q. I show you the ladder rail
number 16. What kind of wood is
that?
A. North Carolina pine.
Q. How does it grade?
A. Number 2 common Same grade.
Q. Is there any difference be
tween this ladder rail 16. and this
other board (the attic board)?
The witness tapped the attic
board. "There la more life In this
board"
Wilentz and Pope debated at the
Jury box the demonstration of knots
in the board and rail by Mielke.
•Til come down and see what’s
going on.” Justice Trenchard said,
interrupting the colloquy. He step
ped down from the bench and rest
ed his elbow on the back of the
witness chair.
Pope went on. as Mielke was di
rected by the Justice to go back to
the stand. ,
Every Question Fooght
The defense attorney propound
ed a long question, asking if Mielke
could tell whether this board and
rail were part of the same piece.
Wilentz fought every question.
Mielke said he believed they were
not and the attorney general asked
the Jury be Instructed to disregard
the answer.
Justice Trenchard sustained Wil
enti's objection. "When I qualified
this man as a witness it was as
an expert on matching the grains
in the wood. I am inclined to think
your examination of him, Mr.
Pope, has been irregular in view
of that limitation. I therefore sus
tain the objection for that reason."
Prom his "knowledge" of life in
wood. Mielke was next asked to
determine whether the two sticks
were of the same piece.
Over Wilentz's objection, he an
swered that they were not
Pope presented Hauptmann’s
plane to the witness and had him
examine the bit.
The nicks in the bit he said would
leave ’beads” on the surface planed.
•The angle of planing would affect
the distance between the ’beads’’
somewhat, he said.
Pope asked him If the number of
t'mes a plane was used would make
anv difference on the nicks.
"It would work out about evenly.**
the lumber man answered.
Mielke said that the knife of a
good plane would retain nicks for
a long time.
Q. A cheap plane knife wouldn’t?
A. No.
He showed the witness Haupt
mann's plane.
Q. That's a cheap plane isn’t it?
The witness looked at the bit
carefully and pronounced Haupt
mann's plane knife was “about
average."
Pope produced the two short
boards brought to court by De Bls
schop.
Mielke was asked to examine the
saw marks on their surface and
determine whether there was any
difference.
Wilentz objected.
Mielke was allowed to answer
that the boards were not of the
same piece.
Difference in Color
Wilentz too* the witness and
drew the admission that he noted
the difference in the rail from the
attic board because of the color.
(The discoloration was produced
by the fingerprint solution).
After a brief recess Reilly an
nounced “defense rests.”
Hauptmanns eyes darted from
one side to another as Reilly made
his announcement in a loud voice.
James J. Farber. a New York In
surance man. was called by the
state in rebuttal.
He told of his automobile being
in collision with that of Benjamin
Heier. defense witness.
Heier had testified that he saw

said, was 8 1-2 miles from St. Ray
mond’s cemetery in The Bronx.
Wilents released Farber to Reilly
for cross-eramination and the de
fense attorney adduced that the
witness had not measured the dis
tance to the cemetery ‘ with a tape
measure.”
Wilents asked one question.
Q. Have you ever been convicted
of a crime?
A. No.
••Mr Arthur Larson” Wilents

GLASS FLAYS
HBCRITICS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—<;**>—An
attack by Senator Carter Glass on
an unnamed critic and a reply by
former Senator Robert L. Owen
served Friday to keep the debate
over the treasury's banking bill to
the forefront.
Glass, who had said earlier in the
week that a promise was broken
when the bill wm offered on Capitol
hill without his seeing a copy first,
issued a statement Thursday night
saying he resented being classed as
against the bill before he had an
opportunity to read it
He opened fire on a critic who,
he said, had charged him with pro
ceeding on undeserved prestige.” i
Without mentioning any names, the
Virginian declared:
"I may say that whatever prestige.!
if any. I may have was not gotten
by using my position as a member
of the banking and currency com
mittee or either house of congress
to gamble in foreign exchange with
a prison-convict partner nor in any,
attempt to Influence the action of
the Federal reserve authorities for
my own pecuniar}- benefit.”
For-.er Senator Owen, now presi
dent of the National monetary con
ference. had made a statement on
Tuesday saying Glass was “using
an undeserved prestige as an expert
in monetary science against the
public interest *'
Thursday night, after the Glass
attack, Owen issued a further state
ment saying:
“Of course I would not charge
Carter Glass with the undeserved
prestige of gambling' with a prison
convict partner.’ or. foi that matter,
of compounding with the two thieves
upon the cross, to sup with them
in paradise. I hope, however, that
paradise will be his destination.
There may be left some shred of
charity in his heart.
“But if I have attempted to in
fluence the action of the Federal
Reserve authorities for the restora
tion of property values • • • It was
ln behalf of the property of the
entire people of the United states.
No one will accuse Mr. Glass of
such advocacy."
