said to show the sources of funds
raised by the league during the cam
paign for the league of nations coven-
ant before the senate
"The committee, it appears, has in
sisted in going through our confiden-
tial letters files line by line, Mr.. Hous-
ton continued. 81 do not hesitate to
say such tactics are Of a kind with the
whole opposition to the league coven-

AUTHORITY TO ANYONE
With Suggestions That Republican
Nominee Lead the Way For
New Peace Plan
NO INTIMATION TO
REVISE LEAGUE
NO One Delegated to Speak "FormalIy
or Informally, Officially or
Unoflicially"

Washington, Oct. 9.-Assurances
have been given the State Department
by Count Dcbcarn, French charge here
that the French government has not
given authority to anyone to approach
Senator Harding with suggestions that
the Republican Presidential nominee

Calling attention to an official de-
NAL issued by the French foreign Of

he was assured that the French gov

to act for it in negotiations with Sen
ator Harding either formally or in
formally, officially or unofficially."
The announcement Of the visit of
the French charge to the State De-
partmcnt yesterday afternoon was
made later by Mr.. Davis who said that

were the result Of previous communi-
cations with his government.
Mr.. Davis said he did not know
whether the French government would
content itself with the denial issued
formally yesterday at Paris and the
assurances given the State Department
through the French charge or whether
formal reply would be made to the
formal note of inquiry sent by the
American government at the direction
of President Wilson.

DECLARE MERCHANT
MARINE IS NEEDED
Development Of Inland Waterways
Urged at National Marine
Exposition

Chicago, Oct. .19.-Pleas for the de-
velopment of foreign trade through
the American Merchant Marine as a
means of securing the peace Of the
world and returning this country to
stabilized condition were made at
the National Marine Exposition to-
night by Admiral w. S. Benson, chair
man of the shipping board, and Ed
ward N. Hurley, chairman of the board
during the war.
Both speakers characterized the
merchant marine as promoter of
peace but each took up the subject
from different angle. Mr.. Hurley
advocated an international credit plan
patterned after existing cooperative
marketing associations, with the
American Merchant Marine as the
nucleus of the plan and an interna-
tional bond issue Of from $100,0OO,OOO
to $15O,O00,0o0 to finance it.
Admiral Benson saw in the mer-
chant marine means of uniting the
nations of the world and bringing
them into closer contact, thus slim
ulating better relations and promot-
ing peace.
Must Work Out Problems.
"If the social and economic condi-
tions of the world are to become more
stabilized it will lbe possible only when
the nations Of Europe have worked
out their economic and financial prob
lems," said Mr.. Hurley.
"Most Of the nations of Europe will
work out these problems in the next
few years and we, who are abundant
ly able, should be the ones now to
supply them with credit and materials
that we may later have them on our
books as permanent customers"
Mr. Hurley explained his plan, which
would provide for the issuance of
$l00, 100000 to $150,00O,OOO of three
to fiveyear bonds to be secured by OBJ
legations Of private European purchas-
ers the obligations guaranteed also by
the purchasers government.
Admiral Benson after reviewing the
work of the merchant marine and
pleading for it's support by all Amer
leans, said:
Promotes Peace Is Claim
Commercial intercourse promotes
peace. Increased overseas shipping fa-
cilities mean increased opportunities
for peace promotion. Compercial con-
tact spreads intelligence. Spread the
gospel Of honest communication over
land, over seas, through the aid and
under water. Each of these are mod
eln weapons against world ignorance
the cause Of many wars"
P. H. w. Ross, president of the Ma.
tional Marine League, urged develop.
ment of inland waterways, calling at.
tnetion TO "America's great ocear
frontage which should be placed i
contact with interior points through
opening up inlands waterways"

Miss Corneille pleaded she had fled
the affidavits of her father and mother

wherein they both agreed to her mar
riage. Still the City Clerk was not
satisfied that all the requirements were
met. He refused even TO accept a.
legal proof the fact that the passport

Colonel Porter asserted that he had
nothing whatever to do with the trans
ferring Of Wheclwright and Sorger TO
patrol duty. He said the first he
knew of the charges against him was
when has secretary telephoned him OF.
Mach 10 and informed him that hc
had been indicted.
Colonel Porter was still on the
stand when the trial was adjourned
until 1O:30 O'Clock this morning.
WI hen the trial was resumed yes
terdav AIR. Littleton continued his
cross examination of Detective Wheel
wright. The witness was asked if he
knew that superseding indictment
had been returned against Colonel
Porter on March %, in which he
tWheelwright) and Sorger were ac-
cused of neglect of duty. The detec-
tive said he was not aware of any
such charge against him.
Mr.. Littleton then read a part Of
the superseding indictment, which al
leges Sorger and Wheelwright "did
felonously aid and abet" in the crime
charged against Colonel Porter. 1t
was contended by Mr.. Littleton that if
the two detectives were not actually
under indictment they should be.
District Attorney Swami later gave
1T as his opinion that the question of
whether or not there was an indict-
ment against the two men was not
even debatable.
When Sorger was called he said he
mad been member of the Police De-
partnent for two and half years and
had been attached to the Special Serv-
ice Division from March, 1918, to March
Is. this year.
The witness admitted that when he
made out his police report of the raid
he gave the name of the man found
there as Clarence Wolf, alleged to have
been the name used by Colonel Porter
before revealing his identity on the
night of November -. Sorger admitted d
that his report was false. He also ad-
mitted that in testifying against the
Goodall woman last January in Special
Sessions he swore that the man found
in the apartment was unknown to him
Sorger said he had met Colonel
Porter prior to the Goodall raid when
he was called to Police Headquarters in
connection with. the Northrup investi-
cation.
