Irookhart Committee to
Start Contempt Proceedings
Against M. S. Daugherty
Universal Service
Washington, April 13.—^Contempt
proceedings are scheduled to bo
started In the Senate Monday against
M. S. Daugherty, president of the
Midland National bank at Washing
ton Court House. Ohio, brother of
Former Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty, because of his refusal to
turn over to the-Brookhart commit
tee the books and records of the
hank.
Chairman Smith ^W. Brookhart of
the Daugherty 'investigating commit
tee, said that action against Mel S.
Daugherty Is a matter of Immediate
concern.
“Our committee will take every
step possible to obtain the books of
the Midland bank,” he said. ‘‘We
will ask the Senate to order Daugh
erty Into the hands oT the sergeant
at-arms, to he held In custody until
the books are produced. We have
full power to have those books pro
duced and we are determined to e*-'
erclse that power, as we bellevo we
have found the right road to the dis
closure of additional official corrup
tion. The evidence gathered at
Washington Court House In a single
day was nothing short of amazing.”
Stone Interested
Chairman Brookhart will confer
with Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, upon his return from Chi
cago, where he has been seeking new
evidence, when a definite line of
procedure against M. S. Daugherty
will he decided upon.
Attorney General Harlan F. Stone
is also manifesting a keen interest In
ihe Daugherty investigation and he
has arranged lor an early conference
with Sentlors Brookhart and Wheel
er, presumably to discuss with them
ihe whole proposition. While there
was a repor- that the new attorney
general wili urge a curtailment of
the activities of the committee, little
credence was given to it and the in
dications are the probe will continue
unabated.
Not Worried Over Order
The Senate investigators are not
disturbed over the temporary re
straining orders obtained by M. S.
Daugherty at Washington Court
House which blocked their examin
ation of the books and records of the
Midland bank. Such action, they say.
will in no way interfere with their
prerogatives to bring the whole mat

and to urge steps in contempt pro
ceedings similar to those taken
against Harry F. Sinclair, who was
recently indicted for refusing to give
testimony before the Senate oil in
vestigating committee and to pro
duce certain books demanded by that
committee.
In the meantime, Owen J. Roberts
and Atlee Pomerene, special counsel,
are prepared to go before the spe

dence asking for the indictment of
A. B. Fall, former secretary of the

by the special counsel.
Senator William E Borah of Idaho,
chairman of the special committee
appointed to investigate the facts
back of the idictment of Senator

Because the authors of the so
called Dawes plan are Americans,
many of their countrymen think they
can work miracles. Their scheme
seems to be Ingeniously simple but
it leaves two questions unsettled.
One is, will it be accepted by all the
parties in interest? The other is.
what is the amount of the payment
that it Imposes upon Germany?
-This last question—"how much?"
—is, in fact, the crux of the whole
matter. General Dawes is a good
negotiator and it Is probable he left
it open so that there should be room
fur bargaining. But bargaining,
especially international bargaining.

TWO MAIL CLERKS

ay morning when tiha^Twln City flier,
fanning between St. Louis and Min

down a 30-toot embankment u mile

have been the first to leave “the

takes time and It Is not at all un
likely that several months may
elapse before any definite agree
ment is reached.
But this is not to say that the
proposals that have been worked out
with such care will be without con
structive effect. They provide an
elastic basis for amicable discutllon
and this is a great gain. But they
do not settle matters and those who
had hoped they would electrify the
markets have been disappointed.
Markets Generally Quiet
And just here It may be remarked
that “electrified” markets seem to be
a thing of the past. Cotton Is the
only article that seems to fluctuate
sensationally these days and if the
bill prohibiting r hort sales of cotton
should be passed by congress the
electrical days of the Cotton Ex
change will be ended.
But while cotton has been going up
most of the other markets have been
static. The brokers who earn more
commissions when fluctuations are
wide are naturally dissatisfied when
prices are stationary. But this i^not
a condition that the merchant and
the manufacturer object to. It Is,
in fact, just what they prefer, pro
vided the demand keeps up—namely,
steady markets with a healthy move
ment of goods from producer to con
sumer. Most people seem to have
confidence in present prices, but they
do not look for much advance.
Therefore, they are content to buy
from hand to mouth and the coun
try’s production is moving from first
to last hands in a fairly steady
stream that is flowing smoothly and
without obstruction or congestion.
It is an ideal condition, for, al
though it furnishes no speculative
excitement. it is "stabilization,"
which Is exaotiy what the economists
have been so long clamoring for.
Aside from cotton, which is again
getting altitudinous and should now
bo dealt in with caution, the mar
kets call for but little comment.
Corn and wheat are a shade firmer
on a better export de.na.id. Tht
government puts the April 1 condi
tu n of winter wheat at 83 as against
7J.2 per cent, last year. The crop
is estimated at 649,000,000 bu3iie's,
which is 23,000,000 bushels 'ess than
last year. The decrease is explained
by the reduction in acreage.
Raw wool Is higher, but woolen
goods continue quiet. The agricul
tural department estimates the
world’s crop of sugar at 21,600,000
short tons, which is 1,200,000 tons in
excess of last year’s production but
the market was unaffected by the
estimate and seems to be at or near
intrinsic value.
There is an entire absence of spe
culation In coffee but a very strong
statistical position. The two factors
offset each other. The result is
hand to mouth buying by consumers
and a steady maiket. Cotton goods
are perhaps quieter as buyers are
confused by the ups and downs of
"futures." Rubber has been dull.
Here again we have a strong statisti
cal position which Justifies higher
prices with any activity.
8teel Quiet
Steel Is a shade quieter. Rake ore
Is 80 cents lower. Copper is steady.
The offtake is large but the copper
experts say that higher prices de
pend upon an Increase in the export
demand. Tito non-ferrous metals
are lower. Distributive trade is
called "spotty." On the Pacific cotsf
it Is excellent but In the narihwest
It la not so good. In the south and
east It Is called satisfactory but not
bsomlng. Foreign exchange ad
vanced slightly as it became known
that the Dawes report aimed at its
stabilization.
If there are any really vulnerable
points In an otherwise satisfactory
situation they are the automobile
industry and the building Industry.
The facts are hard to obtain but It
seems to be true that the automobile
manufacturers planned to produce
mere cars than can be sold this year.
It is now believed that they will cur
tail their output.
The overbuilding in progress is.
however, a more serious matter as
it was based on costs that presup
pose higher rents than the public
may be willing to pay when the new
structures are ready for occupancy.

Divorced Wife to
Oppose Release of
Slayer of White
Stands to Lose Fortune if
Former Husband Is
Declared Sane
BY JOHN A. MOROSO.
Universal Service Correspondent.
(Copyright. 1924)
Philadelphia, April 13.—One of the
most tragic figures that ever tried
to win out in the old, old "Battle of
Broadway" comes Monday before the
court of common pleas In this city,
asking that he be adjudged a sane
man. llo Is Harry Kendall Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White, the
New York architect.
Thaw will have five psychiatrists
to Swear that he is a Bane man.
Against these he will have Evelyn
Nesblt, one time his wife, to swear
that he is insane and never was sane.
She ought to know. She bore a child
she says was ills, spent his money,
went stone broke for the "big sugar"
of her day and, strangely as it may
seem, has pulled herself together and
Is on the Job now to protect her in
terests and the interests of her boy.
Fortune Piles Up
During his long years of incarcer
ation as a lunatic, Thaw’s fortune
has piled up. It runs into the mil
lions now. He has had no chance to
waste it for the last 18 years.
If he is declared sane, he may
make a will that will cut off the
woman who saved him front the chair
of death and his son, he denies.
If he Is found stHl a lunatic, then
Evelyn and her hoy will take his
fortune at his death.
Harry Thaw Is still a man of
wealth—only that. To be free to
come and go, to admire and to behold
the many commonplace beauties of
life, to watch rtte meetings of lovers
as they pause In the crowded streets
at this sweet time of year to drop
into a picture house at his will, to
wander here and to wander there, to
linger at dusty bookstalls or staring
into shop windows, to have a little
Job and the capacity to get away
with it, he would, no doubt, be glad
to start life all over at 60 without a
penny in his pockets.
He 1b a white haired man now and
with a pallor that comes of long con
finement with lunatlce. Eighteen
years have been clipped out of his
life, years that have brought him
nothing but the horror ef pursuit and
the companionship of mentally do
thorned peeple, first In Matteawan
aslyum for the criminal Insane In
New York, and then In Philadelphia.
His wealth and the wealth of his
father have given him nothing but
shame and disgrace, sorrow and suf
fering. His once beloved career, as
a spender, sycophants, male and fe
male, followed at hla heels ns starv
ing dogs would a butcher's boy. he
himself closed on the night of June
25, 1906, on the Madison Square Gar
den roof when he shot and killed
Stanford White, one of New York's
most famous architects and bonviv
ants.
Thaw had reached New York after
a wild European trip. In Monte Car
lo he landed In a hospital. He did
not have the strength of body and
mind to stand dissipation. In Paris
the same thing. In London the same
Roads Report Increase
In Surplus Freight Cars
Washington, April 13.—Class 1
railroads of the United States had
348,301 surplus freight cars In good
repair and available for service on
March 31, according to reports filed
by the carriers with the car service
division of the American Railway
association.
This was an Increase of 35,208 cars
over the number of surplus cars re

thlg.
Exhausted and wild with fever In
the London hospital, he demanded
that his room be lined with blocks I
of Ice. He had the money with which
to build an Ice palace. "Why should
n’t he have a room of Ice when his
head was throbbing so and his whole
body was burning up?
Broadway was ready for him.
Metaphorically, welcoming arches
were thrown across the Great White
Way from Fourteenth street to Col
1 umbus Circle; and he accepted the
welcome.
There was waiting for him one who
was at that time a picture of In
nocence and charm, a girl of 15. danc
ing In a gay show. Her features and
her form were so exquisitely beauti
ful that artists like Beckwith and
Church had used her for a model.
Stanford White, connoisseur of
beauty In art and women, already
had won her. Her hair as black as
smoke in the night, her eyes limpid
and violet, her under lip full and
tremulous, her experience that of a
woman much older, she held out her
arms to the Pittsburgher and he
rushed into them.
Headed for Europe
They tasted all of Broadway’s bit
ter-sweet offerings and then headed
for Europe. From Paris they went
into Germany, after Evelyn Nesblt
has told him of her experiences with
the architect. Thaw never did things
by halves. They took a castle. A
hotel suite would never do for Harry
Rnd Evelyn.
The mind of the spender was then
going fast. According to Evelyn's
testimony under oath, he summoned
her from her bed Into a great baron
ial hall, suddenly drew forth r heavy
whip and then began furiously to laah
her. He would, and did, punish her be
cause she had not come to him as a
illy of the fields. Harry Thaw want
ed everything and thought he had
enough money to get everything,
even decency.
And so, too, he would punish Stan
ford White for having been the In
strument of his deprivation. They
came back to New York and plunged
Into Its high-roaring surf of folly,
after which bath he killed his man.
Once again the Thaw money goes
to court, and should It be successful
this time It must go to court again
In this city, for hanging over Harry
is a charge of assault, the beating of
a boy with a lash, a protege he had
started to educate and who. In
Thaw’s insane egotism, may have
needed punishment, as Evelyn and
Stanford White needed it.
The rich man’s son has left behind
him a wake of wreckage, bitter sor
row for his old mother the most ter
rible of all.
Evelyn Is no longer a beauty. Fat
from It, she tried suicide once. She
Is lighting on In her way.
One of his lawyers was disbarred,
sen to niackwell's Island and died
shortly aftef serving his term. An
other of his lawyers was disbarred
and dropped eut of sight. What
money the welcoming chorus girls,
gamblers and hangers-on caught
from Thaw's wasteful hands has long
since bees spent.
Monday, In Philadelphia, the one
tragic sentence so long familiar to
the Indulgent mother will ring
through a court room:
“Harry K. Thaw to the bur!"

DEMOS TO PUT
REFERENDUM IN
1924 PLATFORM
National Leaders, in Confer
ence at New York, Out
line Campaign
BY LOUIS J. LANG,
Universal Service Corrcepondent.
New York, April 13.—That the next
democratic presidential nominee will
run upon a platform of which a
popular referendum plank will be a
cardinal feature seeined^to ho agreed
by national leaders in conference hero
Sunday.
Vice Chairman Kramer of the na
tional committee and National Com
mitteeman Mack of New York,
among others, expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of the proposi
tion.
They asserted that Gov. Alhert C.
Ritchie of Maryland* had -sounded
one of the most effective battle cries,
when, at the national democratlo
club Jefferson day banquet Saturday
night, he said:
“The people ought not to be made
to live undjsr any constitutional
amendment unless the^ have the op
portunity to say whether they want
it.”
Kramer Goes Step Further
The acclaim with which this senti
ment was received by more than 1,
200 men and women In the Hotel
Commodore banquet hall was accen
tuated by national leaders who had
a chance Saturday to digest Just
what it meant.
Kremer. in his command, went
even farther than Ritchie had done.
He urged a referendum on all Inter
national as well as national prob
lems.
Kremer said: "The speeches at
the Jefferson day dinner contained
many planks which might well he
Put in the national platform. Though
there were live speakers and not
one, apparently, knew what the oth
er was to say, they seemed to pos
sess similar Inspirations.
“All drove home the issue of tag
reduction. All urged that the dem
ocracy enter upon the forthcoming
contest with a demand for honesty
and economy in the conduct of the
government, a fair deal for business
and a regard for state's rights.”
Urge Unified Democracy
“Behind these propositions all
speakers maintained that unified
democracy should plant itself and
arouse the people in the campaign
and at the polls to obtain their ap
proval.
“I was much Impressed with the
argument of Governor Ritchie of
Maryland for a referendum on all
national problems.
“Were my advice to he followed,
the people should determine, by di
rect vote, Just how far America
should identify Itself with Interna*
tlonal disputes.
"Why should not the people, them
selves, be asked If they prefer a
league of nations, a world court, or
a concert of nations, whose repre
sentatives might finally arbitrate all
International quarrels?
