“Sonny” Is Lying
Like Gentleman,
k Savs Prosecutor
~ m *
I.ast-Minute Confession to
Murder, to Save Mother,
Meets With
Ridicule.
By Uni venial lervlee.
I,o* Angelos, March 7.—Fifteen
year-old Harold (Sonny) Willis, who
mad# a dramatic last mlnut# confes
sion of th# "trunk" slaying of Dr.
Benjamin B. Baldwin, as hla mother,
Mr*. Margaret B. Willis, was about
to b# transported to San Quentin to
serve a life sentence for the crime.
Is “lying like a gentleman,” declared
Chief Deputy District Attorney Bur
ton Fitts tonight.
This pitying characterization of the
lad's desperate attempt to save his
mother from spending the rest of her
day* behind gray prison wall* In the
state prison, was coupled with th#
declaration that the district attorney's
office places no credence whatever In
“Sonny's” version of the Baldwin
■laying.
Th« "confesalon” will he completely
Ignored hy the authorities, Fitts said.
While the boy anxiously awaited at
his hotel the coming of police who
apparently Ignored his existence, the
mother, In the county Jail, ceased
preparations for removal to San Quen
tin, and her attorney, Samuel Hahn,
announced suing out of resoundingly
named writs to bring “Sonny's”
story before the court.
Mrs. Willis firmly believed, she
said tonight, that her son's quixotic
Cfllvalry * rfnnmp I hini to thft ufaffl
reformatory until his majority.
“I would have preferred the hang
man's noose to this,” Mrs, Willis
sobbed In her Jail cell tonight. “My
boy, oh, my darling—Is such a won
derful child.
“He had everything ahead of him
for he was to study law In my attor
ney's office. He began studying there
several months ago.
“Now he has spoiled everything by
his telling.
"I love him more th-i my life, but
what can be don# nowT
"Sonny has told the truth. He did
kill Mr. Baldwin. Of course, he didn't
know at the time he had killed him.
as I told him the doctor was only
hurt and sent him away, while later
I and my friend, Bert Webster, put
the body In a trunk and secreted it
away.
“They say I killed th# doctor for
hie *750 automobile. That’s terrible.
I always mad# more than 17.BOO year
ly In the real estate business.
"Oh! To think of all this. My Ilf*
was wrecked and now my darling
boy's, too,
"They have ruined us both.
“Th# governor of California eer
ie Inly will hear Sonny, and If he
hears the story, he will know It to
he the whole truth."
Lacking other means to atop Mrs.
Willis' Impending departure for pris
on In th# custody of officers, Attor
ney Hahn seld he would ask for a
writ of corumnobls.
But District Attorney Keyes de
i dared this writ, originating In old
F.ngllsh common law practice and In
frequently used now. Is applicable
only when the new evidence sought to
h» Introduced was not available at
the time of trial.
Hahn's plan for th* writ falling, he
announced that Governor F. W. Rich
ardson would he asked to listen to
Sonny Willis' story, with a view to
granting executive clemency If It is
given credence,

Cleveland. O.—The acandal foment
ed by the probe of whisky withdraw
al* from the Hayner distillery at
Troy, O., has assumed national pro
portions and threatens to involve
high officials. The White House has
given Mrs. Mabel Walker Wilie
brandt, assistant attorney general of
the United States, full power to pro
ceed with the Investigation, regardless
of the persons It might touch.
One of the first steps of the federal
grand Jury sitting here to investigate
the scandal was to summon Roy
Haynes, chief of the prohibition en
forcement forces, to tell what ni® of

In the meantime testimony from
the "inside,” revealing how permits
were obtained for thousands of gal

tillery and how it was distributed
through the Armand Drug and Candy
company of Cleveland, is expected
to put the finishing touches to the
government’s elaborate array of evi

witnesses who have appeared or have
been summoned to appear before the
grand jury.
The Ohio permit scandal, lnvestlga

Calvin Cnolldge, had beeh brought to
the attention of the late President

Senator Walsh
Leads Hot Fisrht
Against W arren
“Suspend the Sherman Aet If
You Confirm Him,”
Cries Montana
Man.
Washington, March 7.—Proceeding
In open legislative session over the
protest of administration leaders, the
senate today took up the nomination
of Charles B. Warren of Michigan,
to be attorney general, but failed to
reach a vote after three hours’ dis
cusslon.
The fight against confirmation was
launched by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, democrat, on the Judiciary com
mittee, which has twice approved the
nomination, and will he continued
next week by Sentaor Heed of Mis
souri, and possibly others. Friends
of Mr. Warren expect favorable ac
tion, however, before the end of the
week.
Mr. Warren’s nomination was called
up In executive session as required
under senate rules, and Senator Reed
moved that the doors he opened. The
motion then prevailed, 48 to 39, with
administration republicans voting al
most solidly against It.
"Suspend Sherman Art.”
Practlrallv all of the three hours
of debate today were taken up by
Senator Walsh In presenting his ar
gument against confirmation, and In
Its course he had read to the senate
long abstracts from the testimony of
Mr. Warren In the “sugar trust” In
vestigation a decade ago.
Summing up hla argument, the sen
ator from Montana declared that If
the senate consented to the nomina
tion of Mr. Warren there would be
left only one consistent thing for con
gress—the repeal of the Sherman anti
trust act.
Chairman Cummins of the Judlclsry
committee frequently Interrupted
Senator Walsh In the defense of Mr.
Warren, and Senator Butler, repub
lican, Massachusetts, presented a copy
of a stipulation made by a represen
tative of the Department of Justice
during the Wilson administration,
that Mr. Warren and his law firm
had had no connection wdlh the Amer
loan Sugar Refining company since
1908, the date of the organization of
the Michigan Sugar company.
Acted for Sugar Firm.
Evidence In the "sugar trust" In
vesttgatlon read to the senate was
that Mr. Warren had acted for H. E.
Havermyer and the American Sugar
Refining company In purchasing slock
In the Michigan beet sugar companies,
which subsequently were consolidated
Into the Michigan Beet Sugar com
pany, of which Mr. Warren became
president.
In this connection Senator Walsh
said the federal tradte commission had"
reported the Michigan Beet Sugar
company, with others, was engaged
In a conspiracy to restrain trade in
the sale of beet pulp, and Insisted that
should court proceeding result, the
president a nominee would not be the
proper official to prosecute the case
for the government.
Calling attention that Harlan F.
Stone, as attorney general, had denied
a request of the American Sugar Re
fining company for permission to ac
quire more than 2a per cent of the
stock of the National Sugar company
of New Jersey, Senator Walsh pre
dicted that the request would be re
newed. He added that Mr. Warren
would not be the proper person ns
attorney general to pass upon it.

Dennistoun Case
Makes Readers of
Soeietv Tremble
Rigid Redrawing of Lilies in
Court Circles Predicted;
More Scandal
Coming.
- By rnlTrrMl Service.
Pondon, March 7.—The Impact of
the Dennistoun case upon the sensi
bilities of British society has brought
about a scries of repercussions in the
form of whispered speculations as to
what the social outcome will be.
Coming on the heels of the scandal
involving Sir Hnrri Singh, the Indian
prince of an otherwise impeccable
reputation, this newest sertsatlon in
Mayfair has inspired in certain quar
ters an uneasy conviction of an im
pending state of flux in the ranks of
aristocracy.
The court action of Mrs. porothv
Dennistoun against her former hus
band, who |s now wedded to the Dow
ager Countess Carnarvon, has al
ready Involved some of the most
prominent names in the empire and
promises to extend even farther. An
immediate effect of this, it is now de
clared, will be a rigid redrawing of
social lines.
This step, of course, will be Initi
ated by their majesties, the king and
queen, who ha\e always been very
quick to exclude from court circles
any and all persons who have been
guilty of indiscreet behavior. In
some cases the royal ban has not
meant general social ostracism. But
there is a feeling abroad now among
the rm»re conservative leaders of so
ciety that the time has come for the
exercising of stringent disciplinary
measures.
If eurh s'house cleaning should
take place in Mayfair, it is believed
ithat many persons. not openly
brought into the Dennistoun case,
imav find themselves retired to social
|obscurity lust the same. It has been
declared, in fact, that the reaction
from the affair may cause a reversion
, to the rigid «tandards of the Victorian
period.
Meanwhile Mrs. Dennistoun—who
charges that her former husband vir
tually sold h»r into the embraces of
: another in order to ga’n military pref
erment. for himself—is resting over
the week-end in preparation for re
sumption of the rase on Tuesday. Sir
Edward Marshall Hall, the Brilliant
barrister who opposed her, has gone
to th® country in a stare of complete
exhaustion.
The defense, it is believed, in an
effort to prove that Mrs Dennistoun
was intimate with many men, will in
troduce other names into the case
next week. There has been consider
able speculation as to the identity of
the two men referred to as “Mr. F."
and “Mr. W." and present indications
are that their names will be revealed
Just as was that of General Sir
Gowa ns.

British-French
Understanding on
Security Reached
w
'
Horriot and Cliambrrlain
Agree All Allies Shall
Have Voice in
. Pact.
By AMorialyd r»H.
Tarls, March 7.—Auitm Chamber
lain, British foreign secretary, and
Premier Harriot, In their talks laat
night and today, reached tha deter
mination to settle the security ques
tion "In accord with all tha allies.’’
That was the most Important result of
the British stateman's visit here, ac
cording to an official communlqua Is
sued after this afternoon's conversa
tion.
This was more than expects In
French circles after Mr. Chamber
lain's recent speech In tha house of
commons, indicating how much he
favored the German security plan.
Tha coolness of the British toward
the Danzig corridor, whlcl^wss ac
corded Poland on the late President
Wilson's Insistence that that country
he given access to the sea, was re
membered In connection with the
commons’ debate. Rnd the conclusion
was drawn that Kngland was Inclined
to Induce Poland to relinquish this
corridor In order to obtain a general
security pact.
Poland Included.
The official communique was Inter
preted In French circles as getting
all doubts on the Danzig question a!
rest and lndlqating plainly that a se
curity pact must receive the full
agreement of all the allies, including
Poland.
Germany's admission to the league
was the principal detail of the se
curity problem discussed by Mr.
Chamberlain and M. Harriot. This
was believed to Indicate that the allies
will look more to the league of na
tions for the application of whatever
security measures are finally adopted.
Mr. Chamberlain told M. Herrlot,
It Is learned through French sources,
that a five power guarantee pact,
comprising Great Britain, France,
Italy, Belgium and Germany, seemed
to him to be feasible and would bean
acceptable solution. He repeated his
house of commons statement that
ratification of the Geneva protocol
would be Impossible because of the
attitude of the dominions.
This pact, Mr. Chamberlain Is re
ported ea eavlng. would be registered
-- ■ =
With the league of nation* and would
eventually Include Poland and Cecho
Plovakta. He considered this Idea sat
isfactory as a basis for negotiation*.
Three-Power Pact Urged.
M. Herriot. however, »lthough not
rejecting It categorically, offered «<*•
rlous objections. The premier salil h#
wa* expressing only his personal
opinion, as th# cabinet had not yet
considered such a plan.
M\ Herriot suggested that such it
five-power guarantee would hs bet
ter received by France If preceded by
sn alliance between Great Britain,
France and Belgium. But thl* wa*
met by the statement that th# Brit
ish government was opposed to It
and that the British liberal* and la
borltes would fight any pact which
excluded Germany, and, furthermore,
even If the Baldwin government ac
cepted In the face of such opposi
tion, a succeeding government might
not consider Itself bound.
READY ROOFING
IN BIG VARIETY
Ready roofing cam# up with th*
automobile, and like the automobile
Is found everywhere. Few realize
th# tremendous volume of th# annual
shipments of ready roofing, some
times railed, composition or prepared
roofing.
Enough ready roofing Is shipped
each year to cover 3.000.000 ordinary
homes. This volume Is 30,000,000
squares. Ready roofing appears in
such a variety of weights and grade*
that some form Is adapted to every
type of roof. Ready roofing meets
all extremes of weather and climate,
and hence Is In use from the frozen
north to the equator. It resists fire,
and is recognized by the underwriter*
laboratories.
Seventy per cent of all the roof
ing bought In the T'nlted States to
day Is ready roofing. In It* various
form*. This Is a remarkable record
for a young industry.
R. S. Thompson, secretary and
general manager of the Northwest
Readv Roofing company of Ne
braska. says that each year Omaha
Is using more ready roofing. They
were the first company to apply
ready roofing In Omaha, and they
have * splendid and enviable record
for fair dealing. Therefor# their
business is growing larger each year.
