His salary Is J6.000 a year. It was the flat refusal of Controller Kugenc M. Travis to give similar testimony with regard to his private business operations which resulted in his being cited for contempt of court on 15 individual counts by Chief Justice Frederic Kernochan of Special Sessions, wh is hearing the evidence in the John Ooe inquiry conducted by Assistant DJstrict Attorney Ferdinand Pecora.

Justice Kernochan assured the Controller that he intended to -imposo fitting punishment at the close of, the probe, but would not do so sooner, as he did not propose to have the proceedings blocked. This was taken to mean that the Court had in- mind Imprisonment rather than a fine, as the penalty. Wendell is to be subjected to an, inquisition identical with that at which the Controller balked. The Deputy Controller was placed on the stand last week for this purpose, but appealed to the court to hear the evidence in "private before ordering it Joseph Cassidy. to the said defendant as to propose action by peace oftleers with the enforcement of tho law towards the suppression of the said gaming establishment am the arrest of Charles H.

Smith, after having ben ordered and directed by the District Attorney to raid and suppress the said establishment kept by Stuckey and to arrest him as the keeper, before obeying and carrying out the orders of the District Attorney did notify Stuckey of the proposed action and advise and instruct Stuckey to conceal any evidence of the gambling establishment before he and the other officers charged with the dntv nf Ktmro-fRsinn- tho I ment could make the arrest.

TWO it is easy to HARDING "BREAKS" SUPPRESSED, CHARGE OF NEW MANIFESTO Charging that Klihu. Root and other prominent pro-League Republicans had misinterpreted Senator position on -the Covenant and had suppressed many of hls'important statements 1n order to build up a defens for the support of Harding by pro-Leaguers, at group of 31 prominent New York ahd.Boston lawyers, clergy men and educators today issued manifesto In reply to the Root-Hughes- WickerahamrLowell appeal of week ago. The manifesto asserts that the Republican candidate's attitude does not justify anyone in voting for him as a means of insuring the entrance- into the League of Nations -with reservations, and that a vote for Governor Cox. the Democratic candidate. Is direct vote for the League, with reservations.

The assertion is made, supported by numerous direct quotations from Harding's speeches, that, he is unalterably opposed to the League and to the entrance of this country into It even with reservations. The manifesto is signed by some of the most prominent men in. the legal, teaching and ministerial professions, including: Moorfleld Story or Boston, former President of the American Bar Association; Judson Harmon of Ohio, former U. 8. Attorney Qencral; Robert S.

Lovett of the Union Pacific Railroad. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard; Virginia V. Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard College, William Church Osborn, Morgan J. O'Brien, Cleveland H.

Samuel Crothcrs, Joseph P. Cotton, Peter R. Olney, Henrv DeForest Baldwin, Kger-ton L. Wlhthrop and Montgomery Hare. The manifesto asserts that, among the declarations of Harding against the League in -Hny form and the entrance of the United which were suppressed by Ihe Root group, were the flat statemovt at Baltimore: "I am not In favor of oing in," and the declaration at Des Moines: "I do not want to clarify these obligations.

I want to turn nvy back upon them. It Is not interpretation, but rejection, that I am seeking." Then ihe document asserts fhat the charge that President Wilson and Candidate Cox are insisting upon the League as it stands is false, pointing out that Cox has flatly declared himself favorable to reservations that "Clarify, reansure and strengthen." "The Republican Party," continues the manifesto, "and its candidate, ak the country for a blank check, without even a pretense of definite con victions or specific intentions. The position of Cox is that he is in favor of the ratification or tne Treaty, in eluding the Covenant, the Covenant being amended if the Judgment of the Senate, election, so aetermines and the members of the League consent, by the acceptance of the Hitch cock or equivalent reservations and In any other manner necessary to clarify its terms, to strengthen its effectiveness, or to reassure the Ameri- esn nubile as to any ambiguities or doubts which may be raised by the Covenant as it now stands.

TO PROSECUTE BUILDING PROBE CRIMINAL CASES Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Lockwood Joint Legislative Committee which is investigating the alleged "building trust," is. expected to ask fop the indictment of three persons implicated in the testimony laid before the committee durtng'its sessions last week. The plan of the Lockwood Com mittee is to continue the hearings, be ginning tomorrow, until the Jury has taken over the evidence. A new subpena was issued today for John T.

Hettrick, Instructing him to bring papers not obtained by the raiding officers when his office was searched last Evidence concerning the "trust" and the power it wielded continues to pour into the hands of the committee and Mr. Untermyer. illiam Zarnnko, a walking dele gate, of the House Wreckers Union Local No. 14,849, told to Leonard Wallstein, Mr. Untermyer's associate, that the "labor graft ring" exacted a weekly fee of $10 from every employee of the house wrecking uhlon.

He said that he was offered a Job as walking delegate at $75 a week for three years If he would turn over to the Building Trades Council the books of his union and the $7,000 In its treasury1. ONE remember. RADICAL CONTROL OF SENATE IS SEEN Continued from Paire 1. tion to the League of Nations. But the possibility that they may be able to fuse on a working basis will atwavs exist.

In any event, the Senate in the next Congress will assuredly be a diverting and perhaps a highly body. Ifl Follctto In Deal. There Is Wisconsin, fdr Instance. LaFollette will continue In his seat at Washington. LaFollette is practically out of file Republican party.

He is in allcgiunee with the Non-Partisan League and he is not supporting the national ticket. LaFollette may have a colleague of similar stripe from Wisconsin in the person of James Thompson, should the latter defeat Lenroot, the Republican candidate. Thompson la LaFollette's man. They will work together If the chance coirtes. And they will carry the Non-Partisan League into the Senate.

In North Dakota nr. Ladd, the Non-Partisan Leaguer who captured the Republican nomination for Senator, will be elected. Dr. Ladd may decide to work with the regular Republicans or he may not. Nobody can tell at this time.

But he will not forget the League that put him in his seat. He is rot known particularly as a radical: rather, he Is a scientific agriculturist of high attainments. But events may so shape themselves in the Senate that Dr. Ladd will not prove an asset tq the Republican side. Scott's Chances Xot Best.

In Colorado the Democrats arpirun-ning Tully Scotl for Senator, and he Is also a Non-Plrtlsan Leaguer. His chance.s"of being elected ure sot of the best, as the situation stands today, but If he goes through the Democratic members of the Senate will be very curious to fe how he lines up when it comes to doing business in Washington. It seems certain he is likely to diverge widely from standard Democratic doctrines. Then there are Johnson of California and Borah of Idaho, both Republicans, who will continue in tho Senate. This pair Is supporting Harding.

How they will get along with him if he becomes President nobody knows. The general expectation is that in such an event, when Harding tries' to negotiate some kind of a new-association of nations, Johnson and Borah will be found ragtng again it. Johnson is generally, regarded ns much more radically inclined than Borah. He is also more headstrong and independent. Bucking against the two old parties in the Senate and making an alliance with a radical group would not prove unattractive to him.

Neither Borah nor Johnson can be safely counted upon by regular Republicans to stay in line with the party, nor can Senator Norris of Nebraska, Republican, who also holds over. Tom Watson Radical. From the South is coming to the Senate a new kind of Southern Democrat, Tom Watson of Georgia, Watson is and always has been a rad- ical of radicals. Back In 1896 he was on the Populist ticket ns the running mate of William .1. Bryan.

He easily defeated the Wilson Administration forces and other conservative Democratic forces In the. Georgia primary, and he will go to Washington with every expectation that he will prove a firebrand. There is no more bitter adversary of the League, of Nations than Tom Watson. That he can be counted upon by the Democrats to stand with them' on many tilings, or on any single thing, is highly doubtful. Now there are eight men, at least six of whom are certain to be in the Senate in the next Congress.

It is possible that all of them will be there. They are not all of the same stripe, by any means, but they represent things for which the old parties do not stand. The chances are they will find a good deal in common. What they will do nobody knows. Should they stand together, even in a' loose alliance, -they could play hob with both the Republicans and the Democrats.

Should they" manage now and then to cement a tight alliance, they would probably hold the balance in the upper house. For that reason, the face of the election returns will not necessarily give an indication of who will actually boss the Senate or constitute a forecast of what the Senate is likely tgdo in practical operation. More Footloose Statesmen. The Senate inevitably will have a larger sprinkling of roaring and footloose statesmen than it contains to-dav. It will have days of storm and strife, areas of low pressure, high tem perature and other symptoms of disturbance that may easily make it more noted for spectacular effect than for achievement.

SEEK INJUNCTION TO STOP VIOLENCE Although the strike of the moving men has long been settled, the Van Owners Association today to Supreme Court Justice Faber for an Injunction to prevent any repetition of assaults and intimidation which it was claimed occurred during the strike and for which members of Van Drivers, Helpers and Packers Union No. 273 were blamed. The attorney for the union asuea Ihe Court not to issue any injunction, but Justice Faber said he would enjoin acts of violence and that those who refrain from violence not be hurt by the injunction.

whore he has been a patient, last, evening, when he learned of his in order to plead personally, and leaning heavily on a cane, he showed considerable weakness from his long J. Wilbur Doughty. illness. He pleaded not guilty and was released in bail of $2,000 which was supplied by Julius Blum, a furniture dealer of Oyster Bay. His attorney asked that he be given a speedv trial and stated that he would he roadv to nroceed within three davs.

Justice Scudder replied that the time I of the trial would be left entirely with the District Attorney. The indictment of Keefe was a complete surprise to those who have been trying to follow the case from the outfiide. That Smith, Doughty and McWhinney would be indicted was common talk, but the name of O'Keefe had never been publicly linked with the investigation. Immediately after making his plea, O'Keefe made the following state- ment: "The indictment is a complete sur prise to me. I thought they all thought I was a dead one, but it is quite a compliment to be regarded as a live one.

For the past year I have been very sick and spent yesterday fit St. Luke's Hospital, in New York City." "How Tom O'Keefe should he connected with this, we cannot understand," said his attorney, Cuff. "He holds no office in the county and there are no Democrats In office in the county. I cannot see," therefore, how he could deliver any protection. I do not understand how anyone could come to him to seek protection.

Although I was the first one to declare that gamblers were operating wide open in Nassau and that protection was being extended tothem, I will appear for Mr. O'Keefe because I know he is innocent." Sheriff Smith's answer to a request for a statement was: "I have nothing to say." Supervisor Doughty when seen at his home refused to make any statement or to answer any questions. Assemblyman McWhtnfteT was still busy on a statement at 3 o'clock and refused to talk until it was finished. Cassidy could not be located. District Attorney Weeks refused to make any comment or to aiviwer any question bearing on the indictments.

The indictment against the five men reuds as follows: "The Grand Jury of the County of Nassau by this indictment accuses the defendants. George Wilbur Doughty, Charles V. Smith, Thomas A. McWhinney, Joseph Cassidy and Thomas H. O'Keefe, of the crime of conspir acy, committed as fallows': "That the defendants at divers times between the first day of January, 1917, and the first day of September, 1920, did wilfully, unlawfully and corruptly conspire, combine and confederate together and with other persons known to the Grand Jury to commit an act injurious to public morals and for the perversion and obstruction of justice did wilfully and wrongfully aid, assist and protect certain persons who are mentioned as keeping gaming houses, and to enable those persons to keep such places without hindrance or interference, -by peace officers or other officers and wrongfully conceal the same from such officers and prevent them from informing against prosecuting or suppressing the same and to wrongfully obtain information of proposed action by such officers for the enforcement of the law and dhl convey such information to the keepers of gaming houses, enabling them to escape arrest, and to induce and procure Charles W.

Smith, who was from the first day of January, to the first day of January, 1920, under-sheriff of the County of Nassau, and from the first dav of January, 1920, sheriff of the county, to wilfully neglect, omit and violate hfs duties as undersheriff and sheriff and to cause and permit his subordinates to do the same and between the aforesaid dates and in or about the month of March, 1920, at Mineola in pursuance of the conspiracy and to ''effect the object thereof, the defendant, George Wilbur Doughty, instructed and requested the defendant, Charles W. Smith, to notify, warn and advise one Charles H. Stuckey, who at that time was one of A. Flatbuth Avenue at Fulton and Xevint Street. Attempts them in the future.

It is as I -met a definition as could be given in general terms of the outrage which Oermany would have committed if. it I could. "Germany violated the territorial in-Uiegrity of her neighbors and flouted political independence in order to aggrandize herself and almost every war of history has originated in such designs. It is siKnificant that the nations of the world should have at last combined to define tho general cause of war and to exercise such concert as may be necessarv'to prevent such methods. Article therfore, specific redemption of the pledge which the free governments of the world gave to their people when they entered the war.

They promised their people not only that Germany would ho prevented from carrying out her plot but that the world would be safeguarded in the future from similar designs. "We have now to choose whether we will make good or quit. We have Joined issue, and the Issue is he-tween the spirit and purpose of the united states and the spirit and purpose of imperialism, no matter where it shows itself. The spirit of imperialism is absolutely opposed to free government, to the sale life of free nations, to the development of peaco- rui industry and to the completion or tne rignteous processes of civiliza lion. It seems to me, and I think it will seem to you, that it is our duty to show the indomitable will and ir resisiiDie majesty of the high purpose or me Lnited states, so that the part we played in the war as soldiers and sailors may be crowned with the achievement of lasting peace.

Article Assures Justice. "No one who opposes the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and adoption of the Covenant of the I-eague of Nations has? proposed any other adequate means of bringing about settled peace. There Is no other available or possible means, and this means is ready to hand. They have, on the contrary, tried lo persuade yo i that the very pledge con-' tatned in Article X. hich is the es-- aentlal pledge of the whole plan of security, is itself a threat of war.

It is. on the contrary, an assurance of the concert of all the free peoples of the world in the future, us in the recent past, to see justice done and humanity protected and vindicated. Tills is the true, the real Americanism. This is the role of leadership and championship of the rights which the leaders 01 me repunnc inipnapii mat it snouifl play. The so-called Americanism which we hear so much prating about now is spurious and invented for purtji purposes only.

Fate of Parties iilinpoi taut. "This choice is the supreme choice of the present campaign. It Is regrettable that this choice should be associated with a party contest. As compared with the choice of a course of action that now underlies every other, the fate of parties is a matter of indifference, l'arties are significant now in this contest only because the voters must make up their minds which of the two parties is most likely to secure the indispensable result. The Nation was never called upon to make a more solemn determination than it must now make.

More than once his voice choked, especially when he referred to file soldier boys and the mothers of those who had fallen in battlo.

P. candidate for President, asserting that "The wiggle and wobble that the Kepubli-can campaign posters say we must he done with is beginning to appear in the attitude and utterances of the Republican candidate." Hearst also urges Governor Cox, Democratic nominee, to "repudiate utterly Wilson and the Wileon party, lead a truly Democratic party with Jeffersonfan poli-cies and lead it to victory." The statement ends: "The Hearst papers gladly support any Democrat standing ntanchly for tho principles of the fathers of this republic ami the founders of the Democratic party." The statement was interpreted by many politicians as indicating a first step on the part of Hearst toward WMvnftport of Cox.

Coroner Wyatt, in instructing the jnrv, said that if it found the deceased had deliberately killed himself, It should return a verdict of self-nflirder; second, if it found his mind was so unbalanced that he did not realize what would be consequent upon his refusal of food, it should find his death was due to suicide while of unsound mid: or. third, if it found the prisoner did not. intend to kill himself, but, owing to his physical condition, death ensued, jury should return an open verdict. During the inquest the solicitor thik Treasury Department reveaied that five days before MacSwiney's death the Home Office doctor read to him a statement, signed by Secretary Shortt, as follows: "The Secretary of State solemnly warns you that you will not bo released and that you alone will be re-cnnuililn frt nnv nnnsennences which niay ensue on your persistence in re fusing food.

After the jury retired, Solicitor Mac- Donald suggested that a fourth verdict might be offered, namely, "as due to his protest against his arrest." The jury returned In 1 2 minutes and Juror read the verdict: "Death was due to heart failure consequent on a refusal of food." The Coroner suggested that the finding be amplified by the inclusion of Dr. Grifliths's testimony, to which jurors assented. 1 The Coroner then read the verdict in which Mayor Mac Swiney was referred -to As a "volunteer officer," not mentioning the Irish Republican Army.

The Coroner thanked the Jury on behalf of the King, and 1ho party had started to file out when Solicitor MacDonald asked the Coroner to issue a burial permit saying Interment would he made in Ireland.

The fact that he Is to be recalled, is taken to mean that Justice Kernochan has de- elded that the Deputy Controller's private business transactions are relevant to the proceedings and must be Incorporated in the record. lesterday's session of the hearing was devoid of the sensational develop ments which have characterized most of the recent sittings. President Leroy w. Haulwin of the Knipire Trust Company, one of the banks employed as a clearing house for William S.

Fan- shawe's sales to the Controller, and William Hoardman, Deputy Control ler, In charge of the New York office at 233 Broadway, were called to the stand, but, 'aside from contradicting Travis and Wendell In one or two par ticulars their testimony was not important. Hoardman stated that Alliert L. Judson had been in error when he swore that he, Boardman, helped to arrange the compromise on the "moral obligation" bond purchase which cost the State $120,000 in November, 1917. He also said that Travis spoke fre quently of an original understanding on $4,000,000 in. connection with the Fame deal, though the Controller him self, hart testified that he never nan discussed more than $2,000,000.

President Baldwin admitted that he was collecting the bonds involved In this sale at the time Fanshawe offered them to the Controller through Judson, whose profits from other sales reached a total of almost $1,000,000, according to Mr. Pecora. Judson told the Controller in November, 116, ac cording to the testimony, that Fanshawe already had the bonds. Mr. Baldwin identified as authentic his own record which showed that the last of the block had not been accumulated until January.

This would indicate that Fanshawe sold the bonds short which Mr, Pecora indicated he was prepared to question. It also was established yesterday that Controller Travis bond invest ments for his private account totaled more than $156,000 for the period of his terrat as Controller. Thia was the information he defied the court and placed himself in contempt to withhold on the previous day. Justice Kernochan made it clear that should the Controller express a wiLh to take the stand and give the testimony formerly refused by him, he will be permitted' to do so and his attorney, George, Z. Medalie, also will be given a hearing on the point in issue, should ne ask ft.

However, nothing was said to indicate that a. recession by Mr. Travis from his attitude of defiance wduld mitigate the Controller's alleged contempt of court RATHOM CONFESSES HE FAKED SOURCES FOR NEWS STORIES A detailed confession by John R.
