of Young Rogers
Prejty Marjorie Schneider's
Story May Result in Filing
of Charges in New
Haven Case.
Br CnlT*r»»l Sen If*.
New Haven, Conn.. Dec. 4.—Two
young men, occupants of the myster
ious pray car that figured in the
death of young Charles Rogers, neph
ew of Ogden Mills Reid, New York
publisher, will have to face pretty
Marjorie Schneider, Rogers' compan
ion on the fatal night, before a grand
jury inquiry next week. An officer
already has been detailed to serve
the subpoenas.
This action, taken after a hearing
of Miss Schneider's story today in
dicates that indictments may follow,
and that someiiody may yet stand
trial for young Rogers' death.
Those named in the subpoenas, al
though their identity was withheld,
are believed to tie members of
wealthy old New Kngland families.
The gray car in which they drove to
the scene of the death from the Long
Hill Inti after a wild party did not
belong to them, Prosecutor Church
said tonight, but was stolen to go
joyriding in.
"I promise real fireworks at the
next hearing," Prosecutor Church
toid the Universal Service correspond
ent tonight. "These traditional New
Haven star chamber methods will not
be mine."
Prosecutor Church said he was
satisfied that he had not been w list
ing time in carrying on a quiet in
vestigation. He refused to divulge
what he had learned from Miss
Schneider today.
Miss Schneider, chicly garbed in
sport clothes and a leopard skin
jacket, showed not I lie slightest
nervousness or emotion when she
emerged from her long'questioning
in the Old North flaven town ha li
lt was "learned definitely that dur
ing today's grilling Miss Schneider
was closely questioned regarding tier
tryst with "Warden Jones outside the
Long Hill inn on the night of 'the
tragedy whilo Rogers was inside im
bibing large quantities of high-priced
drinks.

THE ROAD OF TRAVEL LUXURY
All flie London newspapers are
agreed that the case has taken on a
serious political aspect, t'otipled with
the known desire of tlie aged mahara
jah of Jammu amL kashmir to adopt
a new heir to hitf throne. Is the of
ficial British fear that the mahara
jah’s selection of his successor would
not be a prince In sympathy with
British views of progress.
Sir Hand Singh is acceptable from
the Brliish viewpoint because his
views are more likely to tie pro Brit
ish on account of his broader educa
tion and acquaintance In England.
But it is declared that the feeling
of the 74-year-old mall a rajah to
wards his nephew and heir will not
lie helped by the revelations that are
bound to come out of the criminal
prosecutions following the unexpect
Oil verdict in (he Robinson case
against the big Midland bank.
It Is now stated that oth i war
rants will he served besides those
which have already taken Into cus
tody W illiam Cooper Hobbs and Capt.
Charles Arthur, accused as two of
tiie blackmailing principals in the
Paris incident.
Startling reports trained currency
during ih** day that the $780,000 paid
by Sir llarri in the Robinson case
was only a quarter of the actual
amount which lie shelled out to dif
ferent parties who ' trimmed” him
during his visit to Kngland and Ire
land in 1919
.Mrs Robinson, the "grasshopper
medicine woman," with whom Sir
Marri was trapped in Paris, was to
day quizzed by Scotland Yard opera
tives—a still unexplained move in
the case.

Insist that the physician be held
‘‘until something more tangible than
the husband’s own story is offered
to explain the affair,” adding, how
ever that “the man’s character, his
family relations and his standing as
a professional man argue for him.”

by many Americans who have large
interests in Mexico ami are otherwise
friendly toward the country.
Back of the predicted action, how
•»ver. is declared to be a general move
ment on the part of international
bunkers to render financial aid to
all countries in need. By this means,

be approximately $60,000,000, it is re
ported.
