Pinchot Backs Harding
To End One-Man Rule
Declares Country Must Have q
President. Not Boss, in
the White House

Clifford Pinchot, one of the most
earnest of the Roosevelt followers and
an original Progressive, in statement
sent to The Tribune yesterday, explains
why he is supporting Harding and
Coolidge in the present campaign. He
says:
81 am a follower OF theodore Roose-
velt alive or dead. While he was here
worked with him and supported him.
Now that he has gone to his reward, |
stand for the principles and work for
the things for which he worked and
stood. am a Roosevelt Republican.
"Senator Harding was not made to
my order, but he is by no means the
reactionary I thought him. He is a
Republican regular, who supports what
his party agrees on and acts with the
majority. There is nothing autocratic
one-man rule at Washington. Congress
will represent not the President n t
the people, and the government will be
American again.
II want to see Harding elected not
only because | have come to think we'll
of him, but because he belongs to the
party of Lincoln and Roosevelt, and be-
cause have had my fill Of the Demo-
Gratis at Washington. We must have in
charge men and party capable of run
ming the government, and in the White
House a President, not boss.
''Cox is too reckless in statement too
shifty in argument, too much like a
man running for little Office in lit
tie town. His speeches shout it aloud
Cox is too small to be President. Hard
ing's speeches could have come only
from a man big enough to handle the

purchases. Mr.. Fanshawe said he
bought bonds at the request Of Judson
and his firm carried the securities for
the Comptrollcr's agent without re-
curing any payment from the latter.
He said that the only profit which the
brokerage firm made out of these trans
actions was the commission, which
varied.
The final transaction between the
state and Fanshawe & Co. was COM
pleted in November, 1917, and amount
ness said his firm had lost S88 5000. In
October, 1916. the witness said, Judson
Informed him that the Comptroller
would be ready to purchase bonds
amounting to $4,000, 900 during the fol-
lowing month, and on this information
Fanshawe said he went to work to ac-
cumuate the specified bonds. The
bonds were on hand at the stipulated
time, but Judson then said that the
Comptroller was not prepared to carry
out the purchase because OF lack Of
funds.
Fanshawe Tells of Losses
Judson kept putting off the time for
until the fall of 1917. Then; after a
conference with Comptroller Travis, an
agreement was reached whereby the
state was to take up S2,O13 900 worth
of the accumulated $4,00O,O00 worth of
securities, on the condition that the de-
livery of the balance be waived by Fam
shave. The witness said that the states
failure to take up the bonds at the time
agreed upon had entailed a heavy loss
because of the drop in the market price
of municipal bonds which occurred
shortly after the outbreak of war.
Mr.. Pecoro brought out that during
the interval in which the bonds were
being held they were carried for Fan
Shave by the Empire Trust Company
When the prosecutor endeavored to OBJ
tain from the witness statement of
whether the loss of $4,000 had actu-
ally been borne by him Mr.. Fanshawe
objected, and Judge Kernochan de
cided that for the time being the wit
ness would not have to answer the
question.
The name Of Deputy State Comp
troller Wendell was mentioned by Fan
shave as possibly being one of those
with whom he discussed this last sale
of bonds during his frequent appeals
to the Comptrollers office to take the
securities off his hands. He said that
every time he called up the Comptrol-
ler's office he was informed that the
state was without funds.

agreement for ynspecti0n

IRON fhc Tribune Washington Bureau
ASHlNGTON, Oct 6.-The Ameri-
can Ship and Commerce CORPORATION.
OF which W. Averell Hartman is presi-
dent, could conclude its agreement with
the neutrality-suspicious. Line and begin
operations at once without the ap-
proval Of the United States Shippjnr
Board, Admiral W. S. Benson. chair
man Of the board, said today.
Admiral Benson pointed out that the
law does not require the approval of
the board before the agreement could
be valid The Hartman comnanv has
Its own ships and the legality Of tho
agreement has been approved By the
legal department OF the board. and this
IS all that is necessary. Admiral Rem
son said.
The Jones act requires the approva,
OF the board to agreements under which
government-owned vessels are operat-
ed but no Shipping Board vessels have
been allocated to the Hartman com
pany. the chairman said.
All agreements entered into for Tho
operation of American vessels must
be fl!ed with the board, however. and
their legal phases passed upon, before
they can be carried out, Admiral Ben
son said
He explained that it was part of the
contract made between the Shjpping
Board and the United States Mali
Steamship Company that the oDerat-
ing company must have the approval
OF the board to any contract it en-
ters into for the operation Of the
ships allocated to it by the board.
No such agreement exists between
She board and the Hartman COMPANY.
Admiral Benson said. When the Har-
riman Company finally made its con-
tract with the German company. he
said, Mr.. Hartman was under no com
pulsion to file copy of the agree
ment with the Shipping Board, but did
so voluntarily.
'Mr. Hartman is an independent on
orator and can do as he pleases.' Ad-
miral Benson said. at may be posi-
bic, however, that at some future time
he will ask the board to allocate some
vessels to his lines and then, OF course,
the beard would have to approve the
agreement before Mr.. Hartman could
get the ships"

Purchases by the State

May Run Over a Million
Swann's Assistant Says Evil
dence in His Possession
Will Swell the Sum

Evidence yesterday in the John Doe
investigation being conducted by Dis
trict Attorney Swami into bond pur-
chases made by the State Comptroller's
Office for the state sinking funds indi-
Gated that the purchases of securities
made through Albert l.. Judson, reach
ing a total OF approximately s28, ,0OO,-
600, had netted him profit of about
$780, 900.
Ferdinand Pecoro, Mr. Swann's as
sistant, who is handling the inquiry
for the District Attorneys office, said
at the conclusion of yesterdays pro-
ceedings before Chief Justice Kerno-
chan, in Part VI of the Court of Spe-
cial Sessions, that evidence still to be
introduced would bring Judson's profit
on bond transactions for the state up
to figure in excess of $1,0O0o00.
William S. Fanshawe, bond broker,
who has been selling securities to the
state through Judson since late in
1915. told of one transaction in October,
1916, in which bonds of par value of
S3,574,900 were sold to the State Comp
troller for $3,5O3, 1906. These bonds
cost the dealer s3,332 ,492.O5, which, it
was brought out, left Judson q profit
of $171,31774.
Profits Keep Growing
The total Of bond transactions made
h. ~ 1
and the profits the bond trader made
on them continued to grow as Fan
shave and other witnesses described
his financial operations. In the morn
ing session Bertram Cruger, treasurer
Of the Metropolitan Trust Company,
told of one deal on which Judson had
made $500.
1t was also brought out in yester-
days proceedings that among collateral
deposited by Judson with the Metro
politan Trust were 100 shares of the
Journal Publishing Company, of Al
bany, of which William Barnes is the
head. Mr.. Cruger testified yesterday
that for clearing approximately $10,
100000 worth of bonds which Judson
purchased for the State Comptroller
his concern received only $3.50 in fees,
and this charge was made only on the
last transaction, in the spring of 1920
When William S. Fanshawe was
called, Justice Kernochan held a con-
su.tation with Assistant District At
torney Pecoro and then informed the
broker of his right to refuse to answer
any questions that might tend to in
oriminate him. Mr.. Fanshawe an
nounced that he had come to court as
voluntary witness and would answer
any questions that would assist the
District Attorneys Office in its effort
to discover whether a crime had been
committed in the bond transactions
conducted by the State Comptrollcr's
office.
Tells Of Big Profits
The witness indicated that the bond
transactions carried on through Fan
shave &, Co. were credited to the &C
count of Judson, although the latter's
name did not appear on any Of the
checks or in any of the correspondence
passing between the house and the
Comptroller's office relative to the bond

the new stations.
