Believe Opposition to Repeal
OF Exemption of U. S. Ships
Will Be Futile, Say Leaders

uation it appeared virtually certain
tonight that opposition to the repeal
will be fruitless.
Announcement yesterday that the
Senate committee on inter-oceanic

SiegeI's Testimony.
Siegel testified that he and Vogel
had filed q bond and purchased fix
lures for the bank. Then, he admitted,
they accepted deposits and made them
act as a floating capital for the bank.
He declared he had no money to pay
what he owed. and he declined to an
swer a question as to whether an en-
try was made on the books of the
stores when they borrowed money
from the bank, on the ground that IT
might incriminate him. Siegel said he
had had life insurance policies made
in favor of his daughter to the amount
of $4,000. He once owned some paint
ings which, he said, his wife took four
years ago.
In regard to his partnership with
Vogel in the private bank. he said he
and his partner had an agreement to
divide the profits at the end of each
wear. He said his salary from the
York was $1,000 a month, from the 14th
Street store, also in New YORK, stoV
a month, and from the store in Chi
cago $1,000 a month.
Wife Spent Most of Income.
His wife, he said, spent most of the
SAG, 900 a year necessary for his living
expenses-his annual income from all
sources.
It was a, little after O'Clock in the
afternoon when one of District Attor-
ney Whitman's detectives who had
been sent TO the Federal building to
watch Siegel and his partner, told
Siegeps attorney that the indictments
had been returned. The lawyer leaned
over to Siegel and whispered the in
formation to him. Siegel turned pale
and from then on he stammered out
his answers to the questions put to
him.
Siegel and vogel We're taken to the
ground floor of the building in a private
elevator in order that they might dodge
the mob of depositors waiting for them.
When the pair arrived before Judge Res
lasky both appeared dazed. District At
torney Whitman was waiting for them. "A
representative of the law firm of Stanch-
field & Levy, the personal attorneys for
Siegel and vogel, entered a plea of not
guilty for the two men. They were then
given one week in which to withdraw the
pleas if they so desired, or to make such
motions as might be deemed necessary.
After having their bail accepted they
left the court with their counsel Botn
declined to talk.
In the indictment charging grand lar
eeny 1t is alleged that at the time the
men applied for the loan from the Ma
tional bank of Commerce on May II, 19l2
thew said they had above their liabilities
81 15s .63s when in reality they were in
solvent The other indictments allege
that two depositors were allowed to de-
nosit 500 each in the Siegel bank on Dec
% 1919 when both Siegel and Vogel are
said to have known the bank to be in
solvent.
The indictments by no means end the
proceedings of the grand jury. 1t is al
legged that an investigation by the district
attorney's office has disclosed discrepan-
cies of nearly 100000 between the books
of the Siegel stores and banking enter
prises and the financial statement used
as a basis of additional credits before
the failure. 1t is said the total of the
discrepancies may even reach higher

Once Upon a Time.

Years ago | knew a Princess
(Still we're shyly friendly, too!)
Tan-legged, gingham-clad and sturdy
Full of dreams the whole day

Underneath the shady willows,
Damp and cool, we used to play
School, or house, or grown-up lady
When the boys were all away.
What a tribe of paper babies,
Always needing clothes to wear,
In their treasured greenbox dwell
ing.
Lived behind the cellar stair!
Past the willow trunks, sheep-sorrel
In the shady pasture grew
When the Jersey COW was busy,
We could safely scramble through.

VOL. T., NO. 225
Boys Ambition and Its
Fulfilment
CONTINUED from yesterday

Then Mr.. Ashurst, giving up the
district attorneyship and practicing
law again. found his opportunity. Ar
iona was to become a State. The
chance to fulfill that lifes ambition
had come. But the fulfillment did not
look easy Newspapers were against
him, railroads were against him, the
great smelter interests were against
him. Ashurst was "for" everything
that the Republican party was
against. He was radical of radicals.
But that made little difference to
Ashurst. When he began to make
his fight for the senatorship he an-
nounced himself as follows:
"This will not be any mollycoddle
campaignl This will be no pink tea,
Japanese lantern affair, and thos.
who cannot stand a jolt on the jaw
would better keep out of the ring"
And il wasn't a mollycoddle cam
paign, either, and the issues before
the people were handled without
gloves. Senator Ashurst has a COM
handing presence, a big voice, a
fluent tongue and a quick wit, and
he talked his way into the hearts of
people who love mans man. a
fighting man who isn't afraid. and a
man they know is honestl His cleo
ton was a landslide, in spite of the
fact that he had to fight many other
candidates from his own party.
Senator Ashurst, when asked how
his boyhood prophecy came to be
fulfilled, said:
II believe the prophecy written by
me in my book was fulfilled because
Of these things:
II made myself as familiar with the
history of my own country and Of
England as it was possible for me to
do.
II always paid the strictest atten-
ton to public speaking, studied public
questions, and discussed them when
ever and wherever ! could.
IL always submerged the material
istic and upheld the ideallstic side Of
life.
Since my coming into my twenty
first year, I have been a militant, UNI
relenting foe of special privileges in
any form.
II do not believe in the right Of
property to rule.
II have read the Congressional Rec
ord one hour day for the last ten
years. ! have found more history,
more philosophy, more rhetoric there
than in any publication In the world.

BOMB EXPLODED IN CHURCH
MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES RE,
SPONSIBLE FOR OUTRAGE.
Note Says Deed Was Perpetrated as
a Protest Against Torture
Of Women"

London, June Ito just what
lengths the militant s~uffragettes will
90 in their campaign of destruction of
property and e~ndangering Of public
safety is giving rise to increased
alarm. Sunday a bomb was exploded
in St. Georges church as "a protest
against the torture Of women" ac-
cording to a message later found in
the edifice. Service at st. Paul's ca
thedral was interrupted. while in
Hyde Park two attempted non-mili-
tant meetings were unceremOniously
routed by a crowd of pedestrians.
st. Georges church is a magnificent
edifice built in 1713-24 and has long
been a favorite church for fashion
able weddings. Premier Asquith was
married there in 1894 and here it was,
too, that former president of the Unit
ed States, Colonel Roosevelt, was
married in 1886.
Sundays outrage following so close
upon that at Westminster Abbey adds
to the seriousness of the situation.
There is every evidence to show
that the explosion in st. Georges
church was the work of suffraeettes.
The caretaker of St. Georges had
locked the church after a careful in
spection or the conclusion of the
evening service. A few minutes att
er 10 o'clock a passerby heard an OK
plOsiOn and summoned the fire brig
ade. The firemen, forcing the doors,
found the church filed with a dense
smoke.
Three pews on the north aisle and
three stained windows were damaged
by the explosion, while another pew
was blown down.
Fortunately, the famous painting Of
The Last Supper" by Sir James
T%hornball, which hangs over the al
tar, was not damaged, although the
window above it was splintered.
The firemen found a square tin box
and several pieces of candle in the
overturned pew, and a member of the
congregation said the pew was occu-
pied at the evening service by a wom-
an in a checked dress. An envelope
was found in the church, on which
was written:
"A protest against the torture of
women"
