PROVOST HELD IN

MURDER OF BROWN

Mount Clemens, Mich, January l.
Floyd Provost a former close friend of
]. Stanley Brown, was again taken into
custody for examination today in con-
nection with Browns death ON Deem
Der %.
When brought to the county Jail Pre-
vost refused to answer questions by the
officers standing on his constitutional
rights, as he had in refusing to testify
at the coroner's inquest earlier in the
week.
Neither would he discuss the case when
confronted by Mrs. Cecil Vester, who yes
terday told the authorities story in
eliminating Provost and Mrs. Ruth
Brown. the young widow.
Beyond accusing Provost of completely
in the killing of Brown. whose bullet
riddled body was found in his automobile
on a country road near here, Miss Vester
added nothing to her version of the
tragedy today. So far she is the only
person directly charged with Brown s
death. Officials are quoted as saying
they believe she was not responsible, but
has knowledge that will aid them in
clearing up the mystery Mrs. Vester' S
hearing has been set for Saturday morn

the jury to send Hall home to his family
so that officers of the law of Virginia

ON NATIONS LEAGUE
do You Favor Any Ali
ance to Abandon Tradi-

Is Question Pro-
pounded

Mashin gtou. January 1.-Iuten-
ton OF republican senators opposed
to the League of Nations to re-
quest all republicans presidential
candidates to place themselves or
record ms to the issues involved i'm
the league was disclosed tonight
by Senator Borah, republican,
sdaho, who made public a letter
addressed to Governor Lowden OF
Illinois. an sspirant for the repub-
Hcan nomination.
Governor Lowden was asked to say
whether he favored "any policy, aili-
ance, league of partnership
ito abandon our traditional foreign
policy and enter into understandings
and combinations which would embrotl
us in all European conflicts and tur~
moils."
Those for whom | speak, Senator
Borah said, have no intention of con-
filming these and similar questions to
yourself"
Senator Borah charged in his letter
that powerful European and American
interes were cooperating to draw
the United states into European af-
fairs. through the League of Nations
if possible, and IL not, -by secret and
tacit agreements"
Declaring that the questions and poll
icies involved must come before the
next administration. regardless OF
Americas entrance into the league, the
Idaho senator said the personal views
of presidential candidates should be
stated.
For nearly $50 years" said the sem
ator's letter, I'VE have in this country,
regardless of parties, adhered to a dis
tinct foreign polfcy--no entangling al
liances or partnerships with foreign
powers and no Interference by foreign
powers in Americas affairs. If you
should be nominated and elected Pres
ident, would you exert your influence
and the influence of your administra
ton to maintain this foreign policy, or
would you consent in any way to it's
abandonment or it's substantial modi-
fication.
This is but an intimation." Mr..
Borah continued, "of what is to hap.
pen should we conclude to abandon
our traditional foreign policy and en-
ter into understandings and conlbina :
tons which would embroil us in all
European conflicts and turmoils. our
young men would be asked to sacrifice
their lives in just such secret and uu+
considerable affairs as this in Russia.
| And Mr.. Taft, as | understand from h ts
! public statement Is in favor IL neces.
sary,. of conscripting our young meT
! for that kind OF service Are you ii
| favor of such policy or of any alliance
