BAKER DEFENDANT
IN CLAIMS SUIT

Secretary of War Newton D. Ba-
ker was ordered yesterday by Chief
Justice Walter I. Mccoy. of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, to appear on
March and show cause why he
should not reopen the proceedings
of the Board of Contract Adjust
ment on behalf of the Morgan En-
gineering Company of Alliance. Ohio
which alleges that its claims aga
the government for war natal,
orders for which were canceleS when
the armistice was signed, were not
fairly dealt with.
The company states that one
claim for s66,212.51. growing out of
an implied agreement concerning
trucks for big guns was
reduced to s2S,240.20 and
another claim of $225.730.2S for gun
mounts for heavy railway siege guns
was reduced to S123,6S2.2l.
The matter came to the attention
pf the War Department under the
Dent act of March 2, 1919, and after
the decision by the adjustment board,
the plaintiff company claims, it was
denied the usual right of appeal.

Former War Risk Clerks
To Four Years Each.

Declaring that sufhcient Ieniency

and withdrew the others charging
them with defrauding wounded SOL
diers out Of compel nsation due them
for injuries, Justice Gould, in Grim
inal CourG yesterday refused TO put
the men on probation and sentenced
them to serve four years each in
the penitentiary.
Not even the impassioned pleas Of
their attorneys, nor dozens Of let
ters from Senators. 3urists and 9TH
er government oficisls urging
ienfency. had any effect upon the
court in passing sentence.
william L. Leahy. counsel for
GriswoId. pleaded with the court
with tears in his eyes as he re-
minded Justice Gould that his cli-
ent's wife and baby were in his
cfiice anxiously awaiting the return
Of the delinquent husband and
father.
John Z. Laskey. District attor-
ney. answered these pleas with a
statement that the acts OF both de-

robbed the soldiers Of their money
and had continued these operations
for several months.
Justice Gould stated that the YER,
character Of Griswold's and Sails
bury's offenses prevented him from
placing them on probation. The
court declared that the two men
had in one instance exacted one
half Of the money Justly due a vet
eran who had half of his face sho;
away. and in another instance eH-
acted $1,000 from another soldier
who was badly in need OF the
money.
The two defendants were regard
ed by the government investigators
as the ringleaders OF the conspiracy
by which the soldiers were de-
frsuded out Of several thousand
dollars. There are six others. all
OF whom have pleaded not guilty
who will be brought to trial shortly.

America, probably in New York
City. Although forty-eight, he will
learn English and try to make his
fortune here. The man who held

the alleged ritualistic murder OF a
young boy, told his plans today
through a Yiddish interpreter.

some money" he said. II first went
to Palestine. Palestine is rich in
possibilities. like your California of
years ago. but there is great need
OF money. I have a family Of f7e

could not earn money for them.
They are still in Palestine. A loaf

CRUSADLNG SPIRIT
SEEN AS IS. NEED
DIR. Henry Van Dyke Would
Recall Something of
Wartime Ideals.

That the United States needs to
call back something Of its ideals
and its crusading spirit Of war
times, instead of sinking into the
luxury and sloth of prewar days:
that internationally the country
should take its rightful place as a
leader, not n laggard," were impor-
tant parts of ''Tomorrow's Message
to Today" delivered last night by
DR.. Henry Van Dyke. author and
former displomat. in an address be-
fore members OF the National Geo
graphic Societ. His message also
included a plea for a return to the
Ten Comma ndments and the Golden
Rule.
America is particularly in need OF
three things, DIR. Van Dyke declared.
Reason and consistency in its do
mestic and foreign policy. a clear
ing up of it's financial practices, and
improved relations between capital
and labor. Another great need. he
added, is for better public health.
He deplored both public and private
extravaganza. and warned against
accepting the teachings that men
and women are mere nervous dolls.
as propounded by that prize idiot
Freud"
DR.. Van Dyke not only criticized
the desire among some public men
to dictate how foreign countries
shall anage their international af-
fairs, but equally condened the pas
sage at hoem Of laws that seek to
control all ones private affairs.
The over use of slang came in for
criticism at DR.. Van Dykes hands.

polyglot citizens to speak English" !"
he said. Good: but she must not
forget to speak II herself"
