Weeks Urges Pardon of
Five Convicted Soldiers
Men Accused of Killing British
Captain Declared Unjustly
Found Guilty

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-Pardon for
five American soldiers convicted by
court martial of numbering Captain
George Lancefield, of the British army,
in Germany last year has been rec
commended by Secretary Weeks. The
men-James A. O'Dell, Roy o. Young
blood, George Van Glider, Carl j.
Bryan and Jim B. Richardson--are
serving life sentences in the Federal
penitentiary at Leavtnworth, Kan.
Announcement of the Secretary's ac-
tion was made to-day by members of
the delegation of members of Congress
who recently appealed to Mr.. Weeks
in behalf of the five men. The Secre-
tary's recommendation would, if ap-
proved and made effective by the Presi-
dent, provide for the release of the men
and give them the choice of re-
turning TO their old organizations and
serving the remainder of their enlist
ments or of applying for immediate
discharge from the service.
Mr.. Weeks based his recommenda-
tions on the ground that the court mar
tia1 which tried and convicted the men
Jointly had condemned s'innocent men,
and pardon was the only way in which
justice could be done them.

Princess Rebuilds Vast
Fortunes by Her Dancing
Descendant of Esterhazys Must
Have Had Profitable Career.
Saws Observer

MANCHESTER, Oct. 16 (By Mail).--
Princess Esterhazy, who was reported
70 have re-established the fortunes Of
her family on their ancient footing by
her dancing in South America, must
have been extraordinarily successful to
have done SO. writes the "Miscellany"
columnist Of "The Manchester Guard
ian.
Seven years ago the Esterhazy es-
tates exceeded Ireland in siz, and com
priced twensy-one country seats, sixty
market towns and aA0 villages. Even
go, they had diminished considerably
since the days of Princess Marie's an
cestor, who, when he witnessed one Of
tho famous Holkham sheep shearings,
told Coke. of Norfolk, that he could
show on his Hungarian estates as many
shepherds as Coke had sheep.
i The Esterhazys claim to be lineal de-
\scendants of Attila, King Of the Huns.
and the earliest Hungarian records to
some extent bear out their claim. They
certainly show no trace Of this an
cestry in tehir appearance, for Attila
was hideous in physique, while the
Esterhazys are q conspicuously hand
some family. This Improvement in
physique Is attributed by biographer r
of Prince Anthony (Haydn's patron)
10 the fact that for centuries past the
Esterhazys, owing to their colossal
wealth, have been able to select the
most beautiful women for their con-
sorts

Special Dispatch TO Tho Tribune
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-In Japan wo
would not even consider proposition
10 cancel the war debts. l cannot be-
lieve that any government would make
such proposal seriously. Repudiate
a debt? It is unthinkable."
This is the sentiment Of group Of
representative business men, ruling
spirits of the Japanese Chamber Of
Commerce, bankers and industrial
clubs, voiced by Umekichi Yoneyama,
one Of the number. The delegation is
touring the world in quest Of knowl-
edge and arrived in Chicago to-day.
The mission is headed by DR.. Takuma
Dan, managing director of the COM
bined Mitsui interests, and he has with
him twenty three Of Japan's bankers
and business men, with their secre-
taries. Among other questions put to
the delegation was this:
what do you think of Sir Reginald
McKenna's suggestion thai was made
indirectly to US, that we cancel the war
debt of England?" And Banker Yone-
yama replied for the delegation.
The visitors to-day inspected the
steel plant at Gary and various other
big industries, visiting the great de-
partment stores and banks Tonight
they were entertained at a BANQUET

Francis p. Bent, director OF contracts

was named Thursday by j. E. Wood
we'll. a consulting engineer OF sol Fifth
Avenue, as one Of the city officials who
sought TO influence him to approve the
installation Of Badenhausen boilers in
Fordham Hospital, said yesterday that
Mr.. MCDOWELL was responsible for the
present lack Of sound boilers in the
hospital.
Mr.. Bent denied having tried to in
flnence Mr.. MCDOWELL TO accept type
Of boiler which the latter, as consult
ing engineer for the board Of trustees
of Bellevue and Allied Hosritals, did
not think suitable.
He also denied haviug said that Mr.
MCDOWELL should not be too obstinate
about boilers, because the city had
transportation and other problems
which would be worth while FOR man
Of his ability. Then he changed his
mind and said:
II did say he was obstinate, and he
was, or else he was serving tho boiler
trust
Mr.. Bent said his engineers we're
acting for the good of the city in open
ing the specifications to boilermakers
outside the five or six which were
offered for selection. All those named
in the specifications he said, belonged
to the boiler trust-a trust which. he
said, had advanced the price Of boilers
from S1S horsepower to s54 horse
power unit.
The contract was awarded to the
Badenhausen people, he said, because
their product was cheaper than the
others and as efficient. He said shat
Mr.. MCDOWELL refused to accept the
Badcnhausen boiler, and that the beard
of trustees, acting on his advise, aban-
doned the entire contract. If there is
any danger. due to the present condi-
tion OF the old boilers, he said, the
fauld lay with Mr.. MCDOWELL.
Mr. Woodwell's objection to the
Badenhausen boilers was that they did
not on their face come near meeting
the requirements of the specifications.
In an effort to settle the matter Mr..
MCDOWELL offered to submit the qucs-
tion to q neutral board chosen from
the American Society Of Mechanical
Engineers, for arbitration. This offer
he said, was refused.
City officials" he said, seemed in
tent on having the Badenhausen boiler
and it is not the best boiler for the
work under considerations"
