pressed the hope that the intercollegiate deba ties
might restore oratory TO s old and proud position
in the legislative halls OF the Nation He intro
duced the speakers Of the evening Each deba ter
took twelve minutes In opening and 1--WE minutes In
a rebuttal
Yae's strong attack on Harvard's argument
was her denial that the possession OF the Ha-
waiian Islands would strengthen this country
from strategic point OF view and the assertion
that the possession of the islands would weaken
her and cause her vast expense In defending them.

TWO CORONERS INDICTED.
COOMBs AND MASON. OF BROOKLYN.
CHARGED WITH FRAUD.

STRIKING SCENE ~ DIsTRIcT-ATToRNEY
BACKrss oFFrcE-rHE1R FRIENDS
SAY IT WAS CARELESS
NESS NOT CRIME
Coroners Edward b. Coombs and George II.
Mason. Of Brooklyn. were yesterday indicted
Jointly and separately by the Grand Jury for
presenting and obtaining money on fraudulent
bills. Both men promptly furnished bail for
their appearance when wanted. Sherln William
J. Buttling becoming their surety. The action OF
the Grand Jury not much OF surprise. the
newspapers having predicted IT frequently dur
ing the last two months.
Against the Coroners there are four distinct
charges. They indicted jointly for present
ing a false bill to the city OF Brooklyn for w.
762 80 it being asserted that OF the 800 inquess
which they swore they had held 1923 were fraud
ulent.
They also indicted a charge OF grand
larceny in the first degree for collecting bill
Of 50. 762 30 alleged to have been fraudulent The
cases cited against Coroner Mason are those of
william Porter. OF No. 1913 Oak-st.. and Harriet
Rachel Swift Rowland OF No. 1872 Rutledgest.
IN which the indictment says no inquests were
held and no juries returned verdlcts. Two SINH
lar cases are cited against DR.. Coombs They
are Florence Fuller. Of No. 1873 Bridge-st-. and
William l.. Miner. OF No. 81 Third-st
AS soon as the Coroners had been arraigned,
they went TO the Office OF Dstrict-Attorney
Backus where they furnished bail. The scene
here was somewhat dramatic. District-Attorney
Backus and MessrS. Coombs and Mason were
elected on the ticket two years ago. and
have always pulled together In politics. Inc
gathering yesterday. therefore. was painful.
There were present the three men named. JACOB
Worth. Sheriff Butting Police Justice Worth.
Assistant District Attorneys Miles. Ward ana
PladweN. and Frederick F.. Crane the Coroners
counsel. Mr.. Backus said something about being
sorry" but II being his duty and 80 forth,
and It made the friends OF the Coroners angry,
and soon tho necessary formalities were
left the office and went to luncheon. leaving
Messrs Backus and Miles alone.

pleaded not guilty without wa!ving the right
10 withdraw the plea and 10 demur or move 10
dismiss or otherwise plead II we shall deem IL

Grand Jury minutes" Mr. Crane asked for
twenty days in which to file an answer, ana ten
days were allowed.
The charges on which the Coroners are IN
diced are based evidence secured ny the
District Attorneys detectives. The prevailing
impression Is that while the business or the
Coroners has been loosely conducted al times:
there has been little no absolute or wiIiui
fraud Much OF the work OF both Coroners IN
left TO subordinates. and when Coroners cases
are frequent the work has been rushed through
