Harding Spends
First Day Of His
Outing Fishing 9
President-Elect Spends Fore.
noon a la Isaak Walton
Plays Golf During the
Afternoon.

Point Isabel, Tex, Nov. 9.-(By
the Associated Press.)-Outwardly
as carefrcc as the happiest member
Of the little community of fisher
men who are his neighbors here,
Presidcnt-elcct Harding began to-
day a vacation that he hopes will
make up in full measure his loss OF
rest and recreation during the Cant
pajgn.
A fishing expedition and a game
of golf were the compass of his
plans for his first days outing. The
forenoon he set for test of his
ski.f with fiie rod and reel, for the
afternoon he had golf game at
the Brownsville Country club, 20
miles away. The same combination
is expected to occupy him during
most of the days of his stay here.
The appearance OF the president
elect as he began his vacation was
anything but that of man worn
out by the cares of national cam
paign. He looked robust and
vigorous, and told the villagers that
he came here more because he liked
tn scclusion and the outdoor life,
than because he vas in need of rest.
For his cruises along the coast,
Mr.. Harding used a launch placed at
his disposal by Governor Hobby Of
Texas. He planned to take several
extended pleasure trips i'll the craft
during his stay here, and may also
take an automobile trip late this
week up the Rio Grande valley.
November Is has been selected as
the date of departure of the prcsi-
dent-clect and his party from New
Orleans for voyage to Panama
Mr.. Harding must return for a
speech in Virginia December 5, how
ever, and it is understood that his
sailing date from New Orleans may
possibly be advanced so as to give
him longer stay in the canal zone
where he is to make an intimate
study of the local government and
the practical working of the big
waterway.

Trades Leader
Receives Cut on
Pier Contracts
Total of $500 on Municipal
Work Collected by Head of ,
New York Unions,
Witness Testifies.

New York, Nov. 9.-Robert P
Brindell, president of the Building
Trades council, who IS alleged to
have received payments ior calling
off building strikes, expected one
half of one per cent" on city
pier construction contracts, totalling
$3,250,00O testimony i'll Commission
er of Accounts Hirschheld's inquiry
into ramihcations of the trust re-
vealed.
Howard H. Shcrwin. vice presi-
dent and general manager of Terry
& Tench Co., contractors for Staten
island piers, declared that of tSis
one-half of one per cent, $l6,250.
Brindell actually had been paid
$500.
In letter to Samuel Untermyer,
special counsel for the Joint legis-
lative committee investigating the al
legged trust. NJ. Hirschfield for
warded copies of testimony of Mr..
Sherwin and Frederick Tench, his
associate, taken by deputy of the
commissioners office tending to
show that operations of the build
ing combine" extended to contracts
for work for New York City.
Mr.. Sherwin testified that it was
his understanding" that Brindell ex-
pected half of | per cent of the
total contract figure. He said he
personally paid Drindell $1,000 last
May, and that Brindell put the
money in his pocket and gave Sher-
win a cigar.
A second payment of $500 was
made to Brindell month ago,
Sherwin added.
He said his firm lad not taken
such a fee into consideration in
calculating its bid. and never before
had paid labor leaders to prevent
strikes. However, he regarded such
payment would be more in the ma
ture of a "retainer's fee" than a
bribe. He added that in Justice to
Brindell he wanted to say that the
latter had proved useful" in adjust
ing labor disputcs.

Corruption and Graft in Pur-
chasing Supplies Charged
Against Officers of Cor
pOration.
Chairman Benson Silent

4 Washington, Nov. o.-Corr@ption
of employees and officials of the
shipping board emergency feet cor
poration, graft in purchasing sup
ulies for and in repairing govern
ment owned merchant ships and the
use of political or other influences
in obtaining contracts for ship con-
struction and the ALLEGATION of COM
pleted vessels to operating com.
panies, are among a maze of charges
made in report submitted to the
house committee on shipping board
operations by A. NJ. Fisher and ],
F. Richardson, former employees OF
the board.
Chairman Benson of the shipping
board refused tonight to discuss the
report, declaring that any statement
he might have to make would be
made to the house committee which
is now conducting its investigation OF
the boards operations.
The report was made public to-
night by the committee of which
Representative Walsh, republican,
Massachusetts, is chairman. 1t covers
more than 100 printed rages and
deals exhaustively with many phases
OF shipping board operations as OBJ
served by the committees investiga-
ton over period of more than
year.
Survey of Board. +
Mr.. Fisher, who formerly was
connected with the federal trade
commission, made a survey for the
shipping board as to record-keeping
systems. In the office of the lumber
administration, Mr.. Richardson, for
~ years a newspaper man, was en-
ployed for several years in. the
boards department of investigations.
In presenting the report, Mr..
Fisher explained that it was de.
designed to deal only with problems
which could be solved wholly bv
the shipping board itself, and "left
untouched" IA general subjects in
connection with the boards opera
t!oqs. Among these were enumer-
ated one of the board, technical er-
rcrs in the construction program,
Gernan-American deals, assumption
of the diplomatic functions BY board
officials, enforcement of the new
merchant marine act and cvasions Of
the selective draft act.
Taking up in detail seven general
phases of the boards activities. the
report charged gross waste of gov

Kent Alibi
Is Offered
By Defense
Youths Testify That Doctor"
Remained in Store Night
That Babes Were Found
In the Well.
Miss Boeke Not Called

Six witnesses testified yesterday
afternoon that DIR" II S. Kent.
charged with attempting to kill two
babies found in 4 we'll near Twenty
third and California ,treets on July
"A, was in his confectionery and
cigar store from 6;20 that evening
until late at night.
This testimony introduced in Dis
trict Judge Troops division OF the
district court formed the ground
work for the defense of Doc"
Kent, an alibi ior him during sthe
time the second baby was placed
i'll the we'll
The defense began its testimony
about 3, after the prosecution 80
nounced the conclusion of its testi-
mony. Until the very last, women
and few men who crowded the
court room looked forward hope
tully 10 the appearance of Louise
noeke, accused Of being the mother
Of the twins. She had been sub
poened for the prosecution,
Miss Boeke Not Called.
In fact it was not until after
the noon recess that the prosecu-
ton decided not to call Miss Boekc
to the stand. The fact that Miss
Bocke had never consented to make
i signed statement refused stead
lastly to state IN advance what her
testimony would lie and the uncer-
taintt Of as to what she would
testify finally caused the prosecution
to keep her off the witness stand.
Testimony Of two detectives, who
asserted they found unmistakable
evidence of childbirth buried III
the rear of the Boeke home at 30l4
California street on July "a, ended
the prosecutions side of the case.
When the prosecution ended, Eugene
OSullivan, attorney for the defense,
asked the court to dismiss the de-
icndant, stating that sufficient evil
dence had not been introduced to
prove the state charges that Kent
placed the babes in the well with
murderous intent. Judge Troup over
;uled the motion.
Defense Opened,
Then O'Sulliyan launched into his
defense. Kent, who had remained
stoical and 1hilosophically kept his
eyes cast heavenward, excepting
when he, sought euspidor or took
a chew, changed instantly. He was
alert, constantly conferring with
O'Sullivan and time after time fol-
lowing the conferences, O'Sullivan
recalled a witness and questioned
him further.
Louise Boekc and her mother re-
manned in the court room. The young
woman remained quiet and apparent
" was not disturbed by any of the
testimony, excepting that i'll the
morning when her alleged delicate
