State Comptroller Eugene NJ. Travis
was adjudged in contempt of court yes
terday by Justice J. Frederic kernochan
when he refused to answer fifteen
questions put to him by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Pccora. The questions
were asked in the course of the John
Doe investigation of bond purcha ses
made by the Comptroller's office for
sinking fund purposes.
All Of the questions which Mr.. Travis
refused to answer related to his pri-
vate affairs, and it was on the ground
of their alleged irrelevancy that he
based his refusal to make replies.
The court ruled that the queries were
relevant and pertinent to the investi-
CATION and ordered the witness to
answer This action had no effect
upon Mr.. Travis, who maintained his
position. Justice Kernochan then an
nounced that it would delay the inquiry
if he were to stop then and punish the
witness for contempt, but declared that
he would certainly do so later.
1t was said at the Criminal Courts
Building, where the investigation is
being conducted, that each answer
which Mr.. Travis refused to give in
volved contempt, and that each oftense
is punishable by one year in Jail.

its fight for freedom.
Mr.. dc Valera gave out copy Of a

League Verdict
Declares Agreement Should
BE Determined by Elec-
tions and Expressions of
People Given Face Value

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, Oct. 25.-
Governor Cox Of Ohio. announced to-
day that if elected President he would
sit down with the Senate and make
an agreemcnt' upon the League of
Nations, and that his agreement should
be determined by the Senatorial cleo
tions.
The Governors statement read:
The situation is this: favor go
ing into the existing league with clari-
flying reservations. Senator Harding
has said that he he is not interested in
claritication, but in rejection. | have
every expectation that after November
: much of the partisan spirit that has
been visited upon discussion of the
league will have subsided
One third Of the seats Of the Sen
ate are to be filled this year. The peo-
pie understand the issue, ano we will
accept their expression at face value.
VIII, therefore, sit down with the
Senate and reach an agreement about
our going into this league
There is no other, and any talk Of
new association is but an idle
phrase The important thing is to get
a start and help to stabilize world
conditions which vitally affect the in
terest and welfare of America For us
to remain out OF the league for two
years or until another election could
De held would be unthinkable. If too
much has to be gwen in compromise
now in order to insure our entrance
into the league the people them
selves will have an opportunity TO
modify and correct later"
1t cannot be a matter of the cxer-
else of merely the executive will. The
popular will, as voiced at the polls
must control. The sort of agreement
which shall be enabled to obtain
will be determined by the Senatorial
elections
More than a dozen speeches were
