For his services in@ behalf Of thu

fore the senats canals committee wien
the Panama canal law was under con.
alteration. DeNight testified he was
paid only the $1,000. despite the fact
that the tolls exemption was included
in the bill.
He demanded the $4,000 contingent
fee from President Bowles after the
bill was passed, but thought the rea-,
son he did not get 1t was because the
bill as passed was not satisfactory to
the Fore shipbuilding Company.
Did your contract call for a con-
tingency whereby the bill was to in
clude a provision was granted?" asked
Senator Reed.
'.No. don't think so,' said DeNight.
Il don't exactly remember the con-
tingency. was to get the $4,000 II the
bill went thru a certain way. Anyhow
I know Admiral Bowles' Company did
not build the ships. I am still con-
nected with the company in some
claims cases"
The committee demanded that De-
Night produce his contract with
Bowles, which the witness said he
would do later.
DeNight had been summonded to
produce the files Of his correspondence
but he urged that he wanted to con-
suit counsel as to whether their pro-
duction was to impugn confidential re-
lations between attorney and client.
DeNight said he knew of no organ
lied effort now to fight repea! Of the
exemption clause and denied he had
written any letters to ship building

IT employed Mr.. DeKnight in con-

jurisdiction Of the canal shipping, the
amendment said. ''The provision con.
cernine tolls is section nve OF the act
and with this had nothing to do"

were arrested yesterday on three in
dictments and are now at liberty under
$4,000 bail each, was placed in the
hands Of the grand jury today.
Assistant District Attorney Arthur T.
Train said that as many indictments as
the ends Of justice seemed to require
would be found against the merchant
bankers. The indictments already found
charge violation Of the banking laws
and grand larceny and false statements
to gain credit. The grand larceny in
dictments are based en- the affairs of
the Fourteenth street store of this city
and the Henry Siegel bank connected
with it.
THE affairs of the store" said Mr..
Train. ARE typical Of the affairs Of
other Siegel enterprises
He said that statements of two Sec
retaries employed by Mr.. Siegel were
the basis OF the indictments. These Sec
retaries said false statements were pre-
pared and liabilities were turned into
assets and approximately $500, 900 de-
posted in the Siegel private bank was
placed in the retail business while 1t
was losing money.
