The president did not refer to the klan either directly or indirectly hut he declared that in the constitution was the "essence of freedom. * The address was to an audience of delegates to the Holy Name society convention.

Mr. Cnolidge emphasized I hot the constitution also provides "no re ligious test, shall ever he required ns a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." "I do not say that we, ns citi zens, have always held ourselves to a proper observance of these stand ards toward each other," he con tinued, "but we have nevertheless es tablished them and declared our duty to be obedient to them.

By HAYDEN TALBOT, I nlvenal Service staff Correspondent. London, Sept. 21.—"Nobody ex ropt an Englishman knows how much his first born means t6 an Englishman, but there are things which mean even more,” declared ('apt. Ernest Ingram, husband of Enrico Carusos widow, today at .Junior Naval and Military club. ' The birth of the first child ever to bear my name has been awaited by mo for several months, the orig inal date having been fixed as Sep tember (i, and all that time I have been fighting myself, torn between sanity and a desire to take pass age to New York to be present when the child was born. "My wife however, made her de sire never to see me again plain enough to compel me to forego the selfish impulse and to remain on this side. Cause of Discord. "The cause of our failure to re main together was really very simple. On mv s'de there is nothing to say beyond the bare fact that 1 am an Englishman accustomed to English ideas regarding matri mony. Englishmen are accustomed to living with wives who are proud and glad to accept the position of wifehood. "But when mv wife insisted after our arrival In New York on sign ing cheques "Dorothy Caruso." and generally clinging to her former name In hotels and elsewhere. T called a halt. I told her that I real ized »lie could not bear surrender ing the name Caruso and I am sure that this Is at the bottom of our discord. "When she found that I objected to being shown off among her friends like a prize Pekingese or a grand opera star, she became dis pleased and our troubles began. "I will admit that I made an unforgivable faux pas when I be came the boon companion of John McCormack and went wdth him to unfashionable Irish restaurants, but as a matter of fact, he and his friends appealed to me vastly more than the snobbish society folk my wife associated with. Money Not Involved. "There has never been any ques tion of finance between us. I was perfectly frank with her when I first met her in Italy. I told her my income was about 12,000 a year, hut she, as well as I, believed then that away in America we could carry out our natural mutual ap peal without thought of money. "Tt. Is all so very unfair to the baby that I still have hopes of a reconciliation because nothing the mother can do can possibly make my child bear the name Caruso, and I want very much to he a father and to undertake a father's responsibilities. "Rut "Madame Caruso" Is ton dear a title, I fear, to allow- any consideration to force her to give It up." !

Wants New Arms Conference to Reduce Armies \mrriran Participation Rosts on Scope of Proposed Meet; Definite Program to Be Asked. Washington. Sept. 21.—Whatever action the United States may take re garding the expected Invitation of the league of nations to participate in a world conference on disarmament will hinge upon the scope of the confer ence. it was learned here. If the league's program for the conference proves to conform to the general policy of the United States, it Is considered probable that this country will ngree to co operate with European nations In their efforts to bring about a general agreement on the perplexing disarmament question. All official comment at the state department is being withheld until the formal Invitation has been re ceived and its precise terms studied. The belief Is prevalent in well In formed circles, however, that the United States will require the league to outline a definite agenda for the conference. If the Invitation falls to set forth a specific program, a reply will be deferred until the deflcienrj has been remedied. The position of the United States, it Is understood, is that th» conference should deal chiefly with the reduction of land armaments, in this connec tion It has been pointed out that land armaments are primarily a European problem. The United States, having no army that In any way menaces the peace of the world, Is Interested In the question only In that It wtshea to aid In any movement that will further world peace.

Mukden, Manchuria, Sept. 21,— Chang Tso-Lin, the military dictator of Manchuria, today requested the American and Uritlsh consuls to warn their countrymen at Chinwang tao, a gulf port on the Manchurian Chihli border, and Shanhaikwan, an adjoining town, of his intention to bomb these places. The consuls were asked to advise the foreigners to leave. General Chang also suggested that foreign ships stand clear of gunboats of the Pekin government lying off Chlnwangtao, since his planes in tended to bombard them. He invited the consuls and leading foreign residents to his headquarters and expressed appreciation of the good relations existing. He assured them of his efforts to afford protec tion. but asserted that he was engag ed in a life and death struggle and could not stop at half measures. By Associated Press.

Ministers Rival Died of Arsenic Net Drawn About, Illinois Mini ster Tightens as Chem ist Reports Traces of Poison Found. Another’s Death Probed By T'nlvfnial Rerrlr#. Mt. Vernon, 111., Sept. 21.—Is the Rev. Hawrenee .\f. Hight, s<date Methodist minister, a rold, calculating slayer—a man who tips the poison phial to remove those who stand be fore him and the things he would attain? Tho question was being asked In all seriousness here tonight. The lo cal authorities suspect that the min ister has a criminal history that will startle tho country. The Rev. Mr. Hight was arrested last week when the authorities start ed investigation of the death of his wife—Anna Hight—supposedly a vic tim of ptomaine poisoning. Arsenic and not ptomaine poison caused her death, it was disclosed. Then was launched an investigation of the Icath of Milford Sweetin. Today chemists reported he had died a victim of arsenic. T have found a vrA-v large quan tity of arsenic In Sweetin’s body,” | Dr. William B. McNally, a Chicago I chemist, reported. Motive Clear, Says Prosecutor. Sweetin was the husband of Mrs.; Elsie Sweetin. a special friend of the' minister. They had been friends twoj or three years, close friends. State s Attorney Frank O. Thomp son, in charge of the Investigation.! has pointed out that there is a clear! motive for the crime—if the minister ; Is guilty. The investigation so far I would Indicate the minister wanted! Mrs. Sweetin for himself. To get her, poison was administered her husband. Physician* believed he died of pto- j maine poisoning. The next step was: to he free from hi* wife. Tclson also solved that problem. There was a most startling new development late today when the In vestigation branched off to include the death of a girl at Centreville j three years ago. She was a friend Af the minister. He thought a great deal of her, he admitted, hut claimed j he could not recall her name. Complete Investigation. State * Attorney Thompson said to night he would make a complete In vestigation of the girl, learn her name and delve Into the circumstance* of her death. She died of ptomaine poisoning like Mrs. Hight and like Mr. Sweetln. The. story of the girl was learned when the picture was found hidden in the Hight home. The hidden picture developed that It used to have a place on the Hight mantale, but that Mrs. Hight was jealous of the girl, and de manded that her mlnlstr-husband re move it. He placed It In a frame, behind a picture of his own. "We are not overlooking any po«-j slhllltles." said State's Atnrnev j Thompson. In discussing the girl. "I i seems pertillar that Pr Hight cannot remember her name " While the authorities worked with j out rest to collect every bit of ev i denee that would shed light on the strange case Rev. Mr Hight was being closelv guarded In the county jail His children were allowed to visit him for the first lm» today since his arrest. Minister Break* Down. The minister broke down and cried when his vnungest daughter told him that she did not believe him gulltj and would pray for him every night "I will need all your prayers and I want you to pray for mo as often ns you can," he eald.

He charges Senator Wheeler deliberately “framed” the Daugherty hearing to advance “certain plans” he “was working out with La Follette.” HERE IS WHAT MEANS CHARGES IN HIS “CONFESSION”: “The testimony given before the Wheeler committee by Roxie Stinson, R. Momand, myself and the majority of other witnesses, was nothing but a tissue of lies, put in the mouths of those witnesses by Senator Wheeler. “These witnesses and myself were persuaded to make these false statements by Senator Wheeler under threats of indictments and in some cases by promises of gain and aid in others. “Letters, correspondence and documents available will refute the Wheeler-Daugherty investigation findings j —throw a different light on the oil investigation where prominent democrats were urging that their names be not drawn in. “It can be proved that Wheeler knew he was framing Daugherty. “I told Wheeler the statements being made to him could not be proved. “Wheeler grew desperate in his efforts to find infor mation against the Department of Justice, saying, ‘he was working with La Follette and had certain plans in view that made it imperative that he make good.’ “I testified against Daugherty because I heard he had said I ‘could go to hell’ so far as he was concerned and that he ‘didn’t give a damn’ about what went on in Wheeler’s office.” I / Germans Praised by La Follette in New \ ork Speech Candidate Eulogizes German Element for Part Played in Making of America— Cheered by Audience. New York, Sept. 21.—Senator Rob ert M La Follette, in an address hero today, eulogized Frederick William Von Steuben, who served a* an offi cer In the American army during the tevoluionarv war. paid tribute to Carl j Schurz. secretary of inferior under President Hayes, and discussed "the great part played by the German ele men of our population In the making of America. The senator spoke at a relebration held In the Yankee stadium under the suspire* of the Steuben socletly ' which Is made up of meb and women ! of German ancestry. Although he declared he was not speaking as a ! presidential candidate and would not j discuss political Issues, he was intro- ! duced as "the next president of the United States," and was cheered for more than 10 minutes when he first fared his audience. A wave of cheers greeted Tsi Fol lette when he asserted that "through out the terrible strain of he world war citizens of German blood loyally supported the government of the United States ' Under the stress of wy hyiteria.' j h» continued, "they suffers! heart breaking humiliation.

Cal.. £ept 31—Harry jCarbuf. alias Harry Connor, former i Joliet convict, whom Mrs. Clifton R. Hunn, a wealthy Chi-ago eocial ; worket. sought to reform, is the ; subject of a widespread man hunt. Carbutt i« wanted by the au thorities in connection with the slay ling of his benefactress In her apart ments at ?0 North Madison street,' Pasadena. Friday night. Police and j county detectives are civ** on Car butt's trail and his arrest 1s believed I to he only a question of hours. | Carbutt, paroled from Joliet where ! he was serving time for robbery, is declared hy police to have fired the [ shot that killed Mrs. Hunn In a spirit 1 of revenge. Robbery as a motive was definitely abandoned wlh the dis- | icovery today of Jewelry valued at more than $30,000 In Mrs. Hunns partments. The former Joliet convict, was In- I trodueed to Mrs. Hunn. who was 60 i years old, by his aunt, Mir. F. E. j Morehouse, a wealthy 1-os Angeles matron. Mrs. llunn at once took an interest in Carbutt and after learn jing his history, expressed a wish "to1 make a better man of him." The attempt to bring Carbutt to his place in eoclety was a dismal failure, however, and Carbutt. ac cording to the police, declared he was going back to Chicago a week ago. This he failed to do. however. Two days ago Mrs. Morehouse was in formed by Mrs. Hunn that she had seen Carbutt on the street here and that he had not kept his word to re- , turn to Chicago. The theory advanced by the poif.-s is that the breaking off of relatione between Mrs. Hunn and Carbutt follow ing her failure to re- j form him may have an Important bearing on her death.
