'Story Told by Kent
Kent's story differed ia only one
detail with that outlined by . fhe
prosecution the birth of twins to
Louise Boeke and his alleged act in
carrying them out of the Boeke
home On the night of July 23. . ;'.'
Instead of attending Louise in
childbirth on t&o morning of Ittly
23, as charged by the prosecution;
Kent swore that he treated hfer for
stoma-rfi troublev that day..
Instead of aiding. it) taking Louise
from her hoins oh jhjS.jjght of July
24 to avoid n extivnatioa which
might reveal Louise'illeged recent
motherhood. Kent .s.wore that he
went to the Boefct home oh the ad
vice of Mrs. Boeke and took Louise
to the, Anderson home on Seward,
street, . .-, - ;

"Police officers were scouring" the
neighbdrhood for sick women," Kent
said in exDlaftation. "and we feared
that the nervousness loll&wiiig her
stomach acne would be actuated by
embarrassing questions of" the po
lice and develop seriously."
Kent was on the stand irom 10:25
in the morning until 11:33. The di
rect examination by Eugene O'SulIi
van, his attorney, occupied only a
short time. The remainder of the
time was spent in undergoing a
gruelling cross-examination by As
sistant younty Attorney W. W. Sla.
baugh. '
"How do you like it?" Kent was
asked as he stepped from! the stand.
"Fine. I could do that all day
long," 'he replied.
Kent studied his answers carefully.
He Was emphatic only in denying
implications that Louise Boeke was
in a delicate condition and gave birth
to. the ''babes in the well."
Kent floundered in his description
of the trip on the night of July 24
to the Anderson home with Louise.
At first he asserted that Jhc merely
took hold of her arm on the walk to
the AndersojxJiome. .. . ' ' - '
"Just as any gentleman would as
sist a lady," was his description of
the support he gave Louise.
Didn't Visit Her Sunday.
- Later, when' describing the trip, hi
said:
"Her mother and I alternated in
helping her."
Kent also refuted testimony given ,
by Mrs. Anderson, a life long friend
of Louise Boeke ai.d admitted by the
prosecution as fritndly to the Boeke
interests.
Mrs. Anderson also testified that
Kent called the following day, Sun
day, July 25, with cantaloupes for
Louise. Kent on the witness stand
today said)
"I was only in 'he Anderson house
once in my lite, i nat was aDour
two minutes on'Saturday night. I
did not take any cantaloupes there
for Louise."
Kent backed up a little on further
cross- examination on this point.
"I might hav sent ice cream and
cantaloupes there he finally ad
mitted. -
Kent even went so far in sub
stantiating the prosecution's story of
his actions duriuji the two days of
July 23 and July 24 as to say:
"I might have seca a dog or cat
in the hedge between the Boeke
home, and the house next door and
walked over aarl looked up-'and
down the hedge."
.Explains Night Visit.'
That related to. the trip p f Kent
to the Boeke home on the night of
July 23. when Mrs. Mary McElheny
claimed she saw Kent slip out the
rear ddbr of the Boejcehdme with
two. large white bundles m his arms.
These, bundles, the state charges,
contained twins, born that afternoon
to Louise Boeke.
Kent said he went to th,e home,
but denied carrying anything out ex
cepting bis cane. The 'reason for
the late call that, night, Kent as
serted, was to ascertain the condi
tion of. his patient' ,i .
Ktnt's past life was delved int
by Prosecutor Slabaugh. The re- (

Kent declared under cross-exam
ination that he had a poor memory
for dates. In direct "examination he
even went so far in giving time of
instances as to say "18 minutes
of 1J."
Kent first told the story of, his ac
tions on July 23. y
"I arose early and worked around
the store until 10 o'clock in ths
morning, when Mrs. Boeke came ia,
and saidj flic would relieve me if I
would go up and sec Louise, w'10

testified. "I had been their family

"Louise I fotindiwas suffering from

"I stayed there for half or three
quarters of an hour and during that
time gave her an opiate. Whilg I
was there Mrs. McElheny called and
gave me the book for Louise. I
heard Louise call 'thanks' through
the window, just as Mrs., McElheny
described. I don't recollect her
moaning. .
"Louise did net give birth' to a
child. I saw her every day in my
capacity as a bosrjflcr in the house
and did not note any signs of ap
proaching motherhood.
"I left and returned to the store.
About 12:30 or J Louise called by
telephone. She slid:
" 'The pains ar? back again.'
Stayed in Store.
"I returned arid stayed a few
minutes until the pains left and
then I left.
"I didn't go back to the Boeke
home until 5:30 for supper, my usual
tirns, stayed there a short time and
went back to the store. I closed
tt'c store about 10:30.
"I went frqm the stored to the
Boeke home, arriving there about
10.35 to inquire aoout Louise's
health I didn't remain there more
thr. two or three minutes and left
bv :he .froiH door.
"I returned to the store, or rather
to near the store, where I talked to
4 group of bos. I was to meet a
man named Blanchard in regard to
loaning money on an automobile.
"I 'talked a while and then went
to bed." "
Describing the next day, the day
the twins were found, Kent said he
arose early and worked in the store
until about noon, when he followed
his usual custom of going to the
Boeke home for dinner, returning to
the store about 12:45.
''So far' as I kndw I was in the
store all afternoon," he said. "I
left for supper about 5:30 and whih
I was at Boekes I heard ihe emer
gency wagon going down California
Street
"On my way to work from supper
I stopped at the Frohm grocery to
purchase two cans of soup and as I
enteted someone told me about find

"After getting the soup I pro

leaving the store, unless to servean

"There was . a lot of talk about
finding the babies but I was busy
and didn't even go over to see the

store that night about 6:40 or 6:45."
Then the cross examination oy
Slabaugh opened.
"Did you bury anything in the rear
cf the Boeke home on July 23 or
24?" Slabaugh asked.
"No, the spade and I have been
strangers all my life." he said.
The Whitehouse name popped up
again.
"Were you in the Whitehouse gro
cery on July 24?" Slabaugh asked.
"No."
"It wasn't anything like a tumor
that was wrong with Miss Boeke?"
Slabaugh continued.
"Not that I said anything about."
"Was it your suggestion that
Louise was taken the Anderson
home to qscafle. as you say, any
nervousness that might he caused
by policemen inquiring for a sick
woman in . the Boeke home?" Sla
baugh inquired.
No. it was the advice of Mrs.
Boeke and I followed it and went
to the house to go with Louise to
the Anderson home." . ' : j

jShippiiig Board
Scored for Its
Allocation Work
Witness at Hearing Declares
Inexperienced . Companies
Given Ships While Estab
lished Lines Suffer.
New York, Nov. 10. Individuals
and corporations of no financial
standing and no experience in mari
time affairs have been allocated
United States shipping board' vessels
for operation, J. F. Richardson testi
fied here today when the Walsh con
gressional committee resumed its in
vestigation of alleged irregularities
in shipping board affairs.
. Richardson, who is secretary and
statistician to the Walsh committee,
and who in this capacity conducted
an investigation of facts regarding
the board's operating methods, de
clared that irresponsible individuals
were iavored, while i. established
steamship companies complained of
inability to secure any tonnage what
ever iroin me government,
Favoritims Is Shown.
Such allocation, the witness as
serted, has 'been performed at will
bv a "director of operations" under
the shiooine board, who "com
mandeered vessels from established
transport lines and re-allocated them
to private companies. Ships, he said,
had been turned over to companies
in which re atives of men connected
with the shipping board were finan
cialy interested.
The competence. of applicants for
ships. Mr. Richardson stated, was inr
vestigated only through facilities
provided by financial agencies?.
He added that thcte . who have
purchased outright vessels from the
board have complained they cannot
compete with companies Financed
and equipped by the shipping poara
Others, he said, felt they bad cause
tor dissatistaction wtien tne poara

turned over to them.
Irresponsibles Favored."
"The statement hits been made."
he said, "that out of 200 to which
ships have been Allocated, there are
so many irresponsible companies
that the ljst must be cut in half."
One of the grayest deficiencies of
the-, shipping V board system, Mr.
Richardson said, was the lack of
foreign agents, which, on occasions,
has made it necessary for super-cargoes
on the board's yessels Hp go
cuit and solicit freight so that the
snip might not be compelled to re
turn to its home port inballast" .
Criticizes New Bureau.
He criticised the failure of esUb
lish reciprocal working agreements
with other -agents through which
ships might be kept busy, adding:
"There are instances where an
operator with cargo enough for a
half dozen ships has but one vessel
or two, while other agents at the
same time may be keepeing ships
idle for lack of cargoes."
The recent creation of the United
States bureau of shipping,: the wit
ness characterized as "entirely un
necessary." N.

Near East Workers
Sail for Europe
Work Will Not Stop as Result
Of Seizure of Captain by
'Turk Nationalists.'
New York, Nov. 10. Officials of
the Near East Relief today reversed
their . decision not to. send more
workers to Turkey because of dis
turbances in Asia Minor and Turkey
in-Europe.
After consultation over cable dis
-patches announcing detention of
Cci James f. Coombs ot Apalache
cola, Fla., by Turkish nationalists,
Charles V. Vickrey. general secre
tarv of the organization, announced
that "the work of the Near East Re
lief will not stop on account of dis
turbed conditions.''
Therefore, he said, a party of six
relief workers four of them wo
mentemporarily held in New York,
had sailed on the Panonia at noon.
In announcing the organization's
decision, Mr. Vickrey said:
"The detention of Colonel Coombs
at Samsoun bv the Turkish nation
a'ists is giving us no worry. Our
American workers have passed free
ly back and forth in the territory of
the Turkish nationalists hitherto and
there is nothing that we know of to
alter that situation now. . Our worlf
is one of mercy, entirely, and has no
political character.

he did not criticise all of the con

Charges Carelessness.
The witness also brought out in
his testimony, incidents of what he
termed carelessness In the handling
and preserving of shipping board
records. In one of the southern dis-
tricts, he said, desks and file cab
inets were disposed of without the

these records , were scattered and
many of hem destroyed. . In one
case, he testified where filing, cays

plus, duplicates were purchased but
a short time later at a "greatly in
creased price."
He also charged sales of materials
had been' made without proper in
ventory.' Regarding amortizing of
plants, he Slid he had found in
stances where there were many
thousands of dollars difference; be

Richardson. Bonds were bought,
he said, by .some of the companies
with advance funds and afterwards
sold at discounts. Efforts on the

Operators who run their ownfves

fident, he added, that although the
government shared in the profits,
it was required to pay all the losses.
No employes, he explained, were re

ruir that there was a frequent return
of ships in ballast, from ports where
cargoes were going begging.

Organizations
Are Threatened
Will Fix Prices of Farm Prod
ucts if agcs of Agricultur
ists Are Not Equalized
With Other Business.
Boston. Nov. 10. The establish
ment of "nation-wide sellinar organ
izations which shall fix the price of
farm products," if the farmer does
not receive "the same pay for the
same hour's work . that others re
ceive," was predicted today by Sher
man T. Lowell ot Fredonia. N. Y.,
master of the National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, in opening
the annual convention of the grange
"We are willing to have a fair un
derstanding of yalues, the farmers
receiving the same -pay for the same
hour's work that others receive, no
more, no less,' but we feel that this
is the last call," -he said; "if no at
tention is paid to this now by bank
ers, manuiacturers; raiiroaas ana
labor organizations, and if the gov
ernment continues to use its great
power ' to import raw material free
of duty to reduce costs, then the
grange will be the first to help or-
ganizc nauon-wiue acuiug uigamio
tions vrhich shall fix the price of
farm products. . -
No Threat Is Meant
' "There is no threat in this; we will
have been driven, to it in self de
fense to preserve our agriculture."
Mr. Lowell rejoiced that labor
has , bee.n able to secure a much
higher," rate of wage, but added:
"Wc little-expected that they would
turn and'demarid cheaper food from
us without ficst ascertaining the
cost of "production, and thereby
proving whether or not we were
taking too large a; margin pf profit."
the master declared that the
great changes that have taken place
since the beginning of the war- have
been to the disadvantage of "agri
culture and many laws and rulings
of our national government have
proven of injury to the farmers.
Laws Against Farmers.
"We' have searched faithfully to
findone law or ruling to our ad
vantage and failed to find it. We
have urcey for a fair show, but all
bur" efforts have met with a like
fate."
Mr. Lowell said the recent census
showed a net decrease of 100,000
farms in' seven states, and he
charged that the attitude of the men
in legislative, halls and departments'
of government' was responsible to a
large degree for this condition.
bo long as we remain oassive this
state of affairs will continue." he de
clared. Concerning taxation he said : '

of taxation and that is when every
form of wealth pays its just propor
tion of taxes. There is no tax more
just, than an income tax, for it is
never a charge against anyone who
has not the means to ;ay.
He spoke against the single tax
and the idea of placing a government
land tax of 1 per cejit oh the land in
place of taxing brge incomes. Both
would be disastrous to agriculture,
he said.
"Another equally erroneous idea."
he continued, "is the one of a heavy
tax on all unimproved land holdings,
for if this was done and they were
forced on the market by reason of
such a tax (which is the intent) it
would cause the depreciation of farm
lands 50 per cent, from the fact that
there is more improved landhan
men to work it r.ow."
