GRAND JURY QUIZ
OVER BAFF EVIDENCE
Perjury Allegations in Cohen
Case Come Up.

A Grand Jury inquiry into phases OF
the Barnet Ban case will be begun this
week. Assistant District Attorney Pecora
said yesterday. Evidence obtained in a
John Doe Investigation before Judge Nc
Intyre. which ran from February to
March, will be presented. The John Doe
inquiry was largely concerned with allie
cations of perjury and of subornation
Of perjury. growing out of the trial of
Joseph Cohen, who was convicted and
sentenced to be put to death, but a re-
prieve was given to him to await the
result of the new Investigation.
The Indictment of at least three per-
sons will be asked. Those mentioned
were several witnesses in the Cohen trial,
several makers of affidavits on which a
motion was made for a new trial for
Giuseppe Archiello. alleged slayer OF
Baff, and an Investigator.
The Grand Jury will also consider the
refusal Of Antonio Cardinale, self con-
fesed procurer of the gang killers. and OF
other witnesses to. answer questions al
the John Doe inquiry. Cardinale per.
sisted In his refusals and gave his
ground as promise Of immunity by the
District Attorney.
According to Mr.. Pecora, the immun-
ity agreement with Cardfnale expired
when the Italian statute Of limitations
became effective against prosecution in
that country.

Committeeman expressed doubt that
Congress ooald fix rates to be enforced
after the proclamation of peace. but Mr..
Kingsbury ssrd he believed It could be
done under Congress war powers, as
conditions brought about by the war

Mr.. Kingsbury presented copy Of a
proposed bill which would guarantee to
the telephone companies compensation
for the period under federal control and
also the continuation OF present rates.
The Governments deficit in operating
the Bell telephone system Is approx
mately 100000, Mr.. kingsbury said,
due to the fact that the Government
could not get the rates increased in time
to meet higher operating costs.

Says He Warned Burleson.

Mr.. Carlton told the committee of talks
with postmaster-General Burleson before
the wires were taken over saying he ad-
vised against such STEP and urged that
the cables be taken instead. that there
might be an all American cable service
free from censorship or unfriendly for
eign control.
'T told the Postmaster-General las,
October" said Mr.. Carlton, that in my
judgment he was assuming a great po-
utical liability in taking over the wires.
because the service was bound to de-
crease in efficiency and he would be
blamed. pointed out that he could no,
retain the wires long enough to put into
effect any constructive improvements in
The service. and that in general he would
be held responsible by the public for all
that might go wrong.
''In this conference I suggested to him
that II he wanted to do something that
would result in good for the entire cause
he should ask the President to take over
the cables and expand the service so that
American merchants and the American
merchant marine might have direct com.
munication on American cables in order.
for one thing. to avoid the censorship,
and for another. the unfriendly attitude
Of foreign Powers"
"In view of the fact that this was a
war MEASURE" asked Representative
Denison (Ill.). did you recommend to
him TO take over the cables for CONNER
cial purposes?"
'aThat was my idea in suggesting II"
replied Mr.. Carlton 1T was not thinking
Of war"
This, then. was a plain misuse of the
war power, was it not?" asked Repre-
sentative Webster (Ore.).
you could not expect me to answer
that question" replied Mr.. Carlton. 81
want to say, however. in further EN-.
phasis for the need of American cables
you cannot successfully develop an Amer.
lean merchant marine without a better
all American cable system. I feel the

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Edward M.
Reynolds. deposed official OF the Postal
Telegraph Company. and Newcomb b.
Carlton, president of the Western Union,
were witnesses to-day before the House
Interstate Commerce Committee holding
hearings on the proposed return OF these
lines to their owners. Mr.. Reynolds was
the principal witness, for Mr.. Carlton re-
peated much of his testimony earlier In
the week before a Senate committee con-
sidering the same subject.
IT look for great prosperity in the
telegraph business in the next year" said
Mr.. Reynolds. I'VE have just arranged
for and are now erecting $4,000 miles Of
copper wire which we bought at pre-
war prices.
Would Refund Increase.
"The Postal Telegraph Company de-
sires the immediate return Of its prop
eSty and pledges itself on the date 1t Is
turned back to cut OF the increase OF
rates and go back to the old rates. We
have no objection to refunding the In
creased rate, however. and all we ssk or
the Government is the actual earnings OF
our lines during Government operation.
And want to say that we do not intend
20 reduce the wages OF our employees.
Every days delay is having a demon
alizing effect on the employees. Our
lines are under the control OF men with
whom we had to compete. Our legal
papers are in the hands of the lawyers Of
our competitors. We find that PERSONAL
ls about 80 per cent OF the property,
and that If you destroy the organization
and the personnel you are destroying the
property of the company. If 1t Is the
sense of Congress. and 1 know It Is the
sense of the people, then there Is no
: need OF continuing the wires a single
day longer under Government control.
This increased rate is not necessary
and should be. repealed at this time.
when business Of the country should be
helped by relieving II of all unnecessary
taxation. The increase is not justified.
A telegraph company that Is economi-
cally managed can do business probably
under the old rates"
Mr.. Reynolds criticised Postmaster
General Burleson for his treatment of
the Postal and his demand for a physi-
cal valuation as the basis Of compensat-
ing the Postal company.
mr.. Burleson," he said, gave COM
pensation to the Western Union on its
earnings, but when it comes to our earn
fngs he talks OF physical valuation. We
do not propose to be treated differently
from the favorite Of the Postmaster
General. This attempt to fix a physical
valuation is merely an attempt to keep
- out Of just compensation"
