YOUTH IS HELD
TO SHED LIGHT
ON JOY PARTY
Declares Other Man in
Automobile Had
Whisky.

William Poynter, 20, S21 Chase
street, who was a member of the
Joy ride party that carried the un-
conscious form of Mrs. Rose Goetz,
19, 1877 Lord street, into a residence
on Cornell avenue Friday morning,
shed a little more light on the mys-
terious affair after his arrest on a
vagrancy charge last night.
After further Investigation Poynter
was reslated on a charge Of vehicle taking
and his bond was fixed at $1,000. He
said the car which he is accused Of taking
was damaged when his pal" backed it
into a tree while turning around west
Of the city.
Poynter, like Mrs. Goetz, who is recov-
ering from acute alcoholic poisoning at
the city hospital. insists he does not
know the names OF the other man and
woman who were in the party.
His story. however, coincided with that
told by Mrs. Goetz in that the four met
ut a dance at Thirtieth and Illinois
streets Thursday evening and that they
all took a JOY ride and there was some
thing 10 drink"
He said a man named Bob. whose last
name he insists he does not know. pro-
vidcd the car, Hudson speedster which
was recovered by the police In damaged
condition In the rear Of 500 Chase street.
The car belonged to George Morris, 6O4
East Washington street. and was stolen
from in front of the Washington street
ball park Thursday afternoon.
There were no lntroductions, said
Poynter, when the party embarked upon
the ride lie said be knew the girl he was
with as Rose
Bob, he said had a bottle Of whisky.
but he denies he drank any. Mrs. Goetz
insisted to the police the last thing she
remembered was when she drank some
grape juice
Poynter declared Bob and the other
girl carried Mrs Goetz into the home
Of Marion Pollard, 2352 Cornell avenue
and that be remained in the car
The fact that a newsboy saw the girl
being carried from a damaged automo-
bile led TO its recovery and provided
the clew that brought about Poynter's $
arrest.
Mrs. Goetz is much improved accord
ing to officials at the city hospital. Physi-
cians said the liquor she had drunk had
so affected her heart that only prompt
medical attention saved her life. She
was unconscious for five hours.
The girl said she and her mother. Mrs
Josie Holiday. lived at the Lord street
address for the last two weeks. aud prior
to that time they had been rooming on
North Illinois street. She told OF having
husband from whom she Is separated,
In Elwood. and also said she had =
year-0ld daughter.

DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR'S IN
AIR ON PACTS
Wish to Study Peace
Treaties Before
Taking Stand.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Demo-
cratic Senators have not yet made
up their minds as to what they are
going to do about the German, Aus
trian and Hungarian peace treaties.
Senators Swanson (Virginia), Pom
creme (Ohio), and Shields (Tennes-
see), the three Democratic members
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee who voted to report the
treaties, explained today they had
stipulated that their action was not
to bind them to ratification. They
also said until they had studied the
treaties carefully and had checked
them up thoroughly with the Yer
sailles treaty, as Senator Borah, Re
publican, Idaho, has done. they could
not state whether they would vote
for ratification or not.
They had voted to report the treaties
only because they saw no necessity of
keeping them in committee and they be
heved they could be considered better ia
the Senate.
1t was announced that a conference Of
the Democratic members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee would be
held upon the return next week of Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska. Pittman of
Nevada and Williams of Mississippi. who
were absent from Fridays committee
meeting. Hitchcock is the only Demo
cratic Senator who has thus far ex-
pressed approval of the treaties.
The conference probably will be fOi-
lowed by a caucus of the entire Demo
cratic membership of the Senate to de
termine, if possible, what course the
minority will pursue regarding the treat
les
1t was the purpose of Senator Lodge.
Republican of Massachusetts. chairman
Of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, to press Tor consideration of the
treaties in the Senate at once, although
be does not anticipate ratification for at
least several days. His intention is to
compel, however. the side tracking of the
Bnti-beer bill for the treaties, and as the
tax revision bill is not to be taken uD
until Monday, to devote the days session
to them.
