Mystery Surrounds
Court Action in
Trial Italians. Dedham

Dedham, Mass, June 13-The
court room where Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti are on trial
charged with the murder of pay
master and his guard at South
Braintree last year was suddenly
placed under extraordinary surveil-
lance late today. All spectators were
forbidden to leave it.
This drastic action by Judge
Webster Thayer followed hurried
conference with District Attorney
Katzmann who a short time previous
helped carry from the witness stand
Mrs. Lola r. Andrews. The woman,
who identified Sacco last Saturday as
a man she had seen near the scene
of the crime a few hours before the
shooting, had collapsed under a
gruelling cross examination. One
man, a spectator had left the court
room Immediately after Mrs. An
drews tainted. After she had been
revived deputy sheriff escorted two
other men from the back OF the
court room. One was taken to the
ante room where Mrs. Andrews was
recuperating. A few minutes later
he was allowed to go. the second
man was released and the guards
were taken from the court room
doors. The court refused to make
public any explanation of the Incl
dent.
Mrs. Andrews had shows evidence
of the strain under which she lab
ored during the lengthy cross exami-
nation. She was taken i'll during a
forenoon recess.
Questioned by Fred G. Moore,
counsel for Sacco, Mrs. Andrews tes-
tilted that Mr.. Moore during a visit
to her last January had asked her II
she wouldn't like a little vacation in
Maine" This she took to be an IN
ducement to affect her testimony at
the trial.
Mrs. Andrews is known as prac-
teal nurse She was attacked in her
home in Quincy by an unknown man
late one night several months ago.
VanZetti was pointed out late TO-
day as a passenger in the automo-
bile which whisked the South Brain
tree murderers from the crime
scene. Mike Levangie, railroad gate
tender. identified him as having rode
in the front seat.
John W. Faulknew of Cohasset
said he had seen Vanzetti get on
train from Plymouth about 9.oo
o'clock on the morning of the day
of the crime.

Slight Chance of
Defeating Dutch Oil
Bill Barring u. s.

Inc Hague, June 13-F'rom the re- :
port OF the commission appointed bv
the First Chamber of Parliament TO
investigate the Djambi oil bill. re-
Gently passed by the Second Chamber
1t appears that opposition to final
adoption of the measure is weak. all
though number of members reiter-
ated their stand in favor of state ey
ploitation of the oil fields in the
Dutch East Indies.
These members contend for state
exploitation in order. they saw. that
Holland may avoid becoming a party
to world war which they declare
will be the inevitable result of the
desire of the great powers to control
the worlds supplies of petrol and
coal.
Before taking further action, some
of the members asserted it was de-
sirable for the Dutch government 10
close a contract soon with an Amer
,ican concern for the exploitation of
some of these fields.
The bill passed by the second
chamber recently granted concessions

Dutch subsidiary and excluded Amer
lean interests.
The report shows that some of the
members urged that Dutch national
honor did not allow Holland to take
the objections of the United States,
into account and that Holland should
oppose any attampt at interference
with her legislation or administers
ton.
Generally, it appears, the members
approved the attitude of the govern
ment toward the communica tons e.
the American minitser. expressing the
view that the Dutch colonial and min
ing legislation was not contrary to
the policy of the open door which was
the correct policy, according to their
ideas.

Senate Committee
in Squabble Over
FOrd-NeWberry Fight

| Washington, June 13-Henry Ford'i
contest for the seat of Senator New
berry, Republican, of Michigan, threw
the Senate committee hearing today
into a division as to how far the in
quiry should go into charged connect
ed with the financing of the 1915
campaign. Lyman ID. Smith, New
York stock broker, testified to hav-
| ing forwarded money in behalf OF
himself and others for the Michigan
campaign and stated that nearly all
the banking people l knew in New
York" had possibly done the same
thing.
! Alfred Lucking, Ford's counsel, de-
manded the right to check Mr.
Smiths bank account, and the wit
ness agreed, but Chairman Spencer,
over the protest of Senator Walcott
! Democrat, and minority members said
| the committee would take the step
under advisement.
at is apparent we are not going to
be allowed to investigate bank ac-
counts in running down these charg-
es," Senator \Waicott said.
| 1--WE shall not subject any bank to
! investigation unless we have so de-
cided in conference" Chairman Spen-
Ger replied. Senator Walcott pushed
the witness for details of the New
York contribution.
Mr.. Smith said he didn't want to
repeat gossip, but that Officials of
the American Exchange National
Bank were very anxious to see New
berry nominated" and that the Chat
ham and Phoenix might have" sent
money.
Frederick c. Brooks, another New
Yorker. explained that he had sent
$500 through Smith to the Newberry
campaign doing for Truman (Sen-
ator Newberry) just what L think he
would do in a similar position for

! pany. also were xamined. as was Fred
! r. Smith, business agent of the New
berry estate. Mr.. Durant said he gave
1 $4,000 and Mr.. Green explained his
reason for paying Newberry cam
| paign debts to the extent of between
$4,000 and $4,000" by saying that
the Democratic candidate (F'ord) Il
didn't consider fit to represent the
state Of Michigan"
Mr.. Smith told of checking out
$4,000 from funds of John S. (the
! senator's brother) to the campaign
committee and receiving back a pa
| per bag with $4,000 or SCI 900 in it."
| Il understood this was adjustment
fro mthe contributions received" he
explained. Mr.. Lucking demanded
the cancelled checks and records. but
Mr. Smith said that when he started
to loko for them Saturday found
the vault unlocked and all the records
gone"
| Mr.. Lucking drew from the witne IS
an explanation that the Newberry
family accounts were all under his
charge, and that the money had been
drawn from them to pay into John s.
Newberry's account when it was
/ overdrawn by the campaign de-
ma nds"
The Investigation adjourned tonight
until Wednesday.
