C0UGHLlN BABY ALIVE,
MAGISTRATE BELIEVES


PHILADELPHIA. Oct. IL. - In
v~estigation of the latest confession
of August Pasquale, the crank" in
which he is alleged to have told
Major Lynn G.. Adams, head of the
state police. that he accidentally
smothered Blakeley C%oughlin while
stealing the child from the home of
its parents, was continued today.
Pasquale, according to Major Adams.
said that when he lifted the child
from its crib 1t started to cry and
that he placed 1t under his coat which
he buttoned tightly. After making
his escape and running some distance,
he unbuttoned the coat and found
the child dead.
Search of the woods and swarm
around Egg Harbor and New Gretna
failed TO reveal any trace of the
child's body. 1t was in the neigh
borhood of Egg Harbor that Pasquale
purchased a small farm shortly after
he succeeded in obtaining $4,000
from George II. Coughlin, the child's
father, on promise to return the boy
and it was there he was captured
when he attempted TO get an ad-
ditional 1000.
Authorities stated the investigation
would be continued but declined to
say what the next move would be.
Because of the many false clues
Pasquale has given those working on
the case since he confessed the kid
mapping, neither the police nor the
Coughlins place much credence in his
latest story.
Magistrate O. II. Lenhart, declared
today hat Pasquale has not yet told
the truth and added:
II cannot tell all that I know but
the real story will be III within n
few days and 1t will be found the
child is alive. / am certain of that
and expect to hear of Mrs. Coughlin
making a clear Identification of her
baby before Friday"

Washingtonians Should
Vote for President.

Commissioners and Congress all
have equal partnerships in "the
trusteeship of the Nations Capital"
Commissioner Mabel T. Boardman
Monday night told the RandIe High
lands Citizens Association that she
favors limited suffrage for the Dis
trict and suggested that the two
civilian members of the Board of
Commissioners be given seats in
Congress as delegates without votes.
while my mind is at all times
open to the subject of District suf-
frage, / believe that the most prac-
tical plan We could have would be
representation in Congress by the
two civilian Commissioners. who
would be given seats similar to
those allowed Territories" Commits
sioner Boardman said.
IF party politics were permitted
to enter into the choosing of repre-
sentatives for the District, l be-
lieve we should find ourselves to be
the losers. We do, however, need
to have someone sit with the Con-
gress and give first-hand advice on
all District matters"
In touching the, subject of suf-
frage for Washington, she said:
IF the people of the District want
to vote-and 1t is only natural that
we should-I would suggest that we
seek the right to ballot for Presi-
dent and Vice President"

Hes a regular fellow" said c. =.

stationer, bookbinder, publisher. ex-
port on sugar and lieutenant COM
mander in the U. s Naval Reserve
at San Francisco during the war,
as he settled himself into an easy
chair in the lounge of the Astor
House in Shanghai and discussed
Prince Songla, brother of the King
of Siam
And in that brief sentence the

the keynote of his outlook on life
Everyone he meets is regular

Crocker and Mrs. Crocker are
spending few days in Shanghai
Just playing. That's what they've
oeen doing most of the time since
they left the California Coast on
February 19 and that's what they
expect to devote most of their time
to until Admission Day, when they
hope to arrive at the Golden Gate.
OF course a man who has led
such busy life as that of Crocker
can't 'just play" all at once and
so he's foOling himself into believ-
ing that he's investigating the sugar
situation in the Far East. But,
in spite. of the fact that he is presi-
dent of the Alameda Sugar Com
pany and a director of the Union
Sugar Company, 1t is noticeab BILE,
and naturally must be whispered
gently, his itinerary has been so
carefully planned that there has
been a scarcity of sugar on the
menu.
Meet Prince on Ship.
When the Crockers left San
Francisco they had no intention of
going to Siam. Then they boarded
a ship at Manila and met a most
charming young chap who was Just
out of Harvard. He hadn't been
graduated, he explained, because
he has been called home to attend
the cremation ceremonies of a rel
ative.
1t was the Prince. summoned to
Bangkok for the cremation of the

Official Washington displayed "a
fine reserve and noble reticence"
yesterday with respect to the dec
laration by Leon Bourgeois, OF
France, president of the council of
the league of nations, that Article
X could be eliminated from the COW
enant without modifying the effect
iveness of the league"
Coming on the heels of Senator
Harding's declaration that efforts
had been made by unofficial rep
resentatives of France to ascertain
his views relative to a new league
of nations, the statement of NJ.
Bourgeois was viewed as a re-
Election of official French opinion.
He was understood to be speaking
to America in terms of readiness
to eliminate Article X if that were
the principal objection of the United
States to membership in the league.
NJ Bourgeois was minister for
foreign affairs in the Clemenceau
ministry and formerly was presi-
dent of the council of ministers.
With NJ. Larnaude. dean of the fac
ulty of law, of Paris, he composed
the French membership on the COM
mission on the league OF nations,
on which the United States was
represented by President Wilson and
Col. E. NJ. House.
No White House Comment.
At the White House, Secretary
Tumulty said there would be no
comment, official or unofficial" on
NJ. Bourgeois readiness 'to sacrifice
Article x, which President Wilson
has cOnterded time and again was

pressed his personal view that Ar
