Morse Indicted
Wth2O Others
On New Charge
Alleged to Haze Used
Mails to Defraud in
Selling Stock.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The hand
Of the Federal government is once
more reaching out toward c. W.
Morse in connection with his ex-
tNpsive chipping operations during
the war. .
Morse, his three sons and twenty
others were indicted by the Federal
grand jury here late today, charged
with conspiracy TO use the mails
to defraud investors in selling stock
of the United States steamship
Company.
This Indictment. it is understood,
has no direct connection with the
investigation of Morse's wartime
shipping operations which the De-
partment of Justice is conducting
at Washington with a view of Sc
curing indictments there. Morse
was summoned back from France
several months ago by Attorney
General Daugherty, who was then
examining the records of the Ship
ping Board.
Among those indicted is Stuart
G.. Gibboney, associated with WILL
lam Gibbs McAdoo and William F
McCoombs in the Democratic cam
paign of 1917 and later on Mayor
Hylan's campaign committee here
Gibboney declared any suggestion
that he had used-the mails to de-
fraud was ''preposterous."
His law partner, William A. Bar
ber, also in the list of those in
dicted. stated that the firm has

BONUS EXPECTED
TO Be REPORTED

Ask Right of Way
Over Tariff.
CASH FEATURE OUT
Twenty Years Paid-Up Insur-
ance With Loan Provi-
sion Planned.
CASH FEATURE OUT

Such satisfactory progress is be-
ing made in redrafting the bonus
bill that Senator McCumber. North
Dakota, chairman OF the Finance
Committee, predicted yesterday that
the measure would be- before the
Senate with the committees in
dorse- within a week.
The tariff will then be side
tracked and efforts made to put
the bonus bill through with speed.
1t is impossible to forecast how
much time will be consumed in
debate, but some Senators believe
discussion will be limited.
Seek I00,Oeo, 900 Annual Limit.
The Finance Committee is trying
to keep the annual cost of the
bonus within a s1OO.0O0,0oO limit,
hoping in this way to minimize the
Administrations opposition to the
measure. They propose to hold
down the cost by limiting the bor-
rowings which may be made
against whatever character of Sc
curities it is decided to give the
former service men.
An informal conference of some
Of the Republican members of the
Finance Committee was held yes
terday, and another will he held
today. At that time a decision may
be reached upon some of the out
standing features of the bonus leg
islation.
1t is expected that new estimates
as to the cost of the bill. with the
proposed notifications. will be sub
mitted by the Treasury Department
at today's meeting.
Oppose Cash Bonus.
In a general way the committee
seems to have made up its mind
not to restore the cash bonus pro-
vision. to retain the $50 maximum
applicable to those entitled to cash
bonuses, to eliminate the land set
tlement feature. and to modify the
adjusted service certificate scheme
SO that it will be more on the order
of 20-year paid-up insurance pol
icy, but with some sort of a loan
provision retained. The date when
the adjusted compensation becomes
available probably will be January,
1923, instead of October. 1922
1t is the. purpose of the commit
tee to make the expense of the
bonus as light as possible during
the first year.
Against Any New Tax.
As to the financing of the bonus.
the committee is determined not
to impose any new tax, such as a
sales tax. and to have in view the
use of principal or interest of the
foreign debt, with possible addi-
tional authority for the issuance
OF certificates of indebtedness to
finance immediate needs.
Opposition to a cash bonus IS ex-
pressed by Senators Myers, of Mon
tana, Democrat, in a letter to John
w: Mahan. commander of the Dis
abled Veterans of the World War
OF Montana, who had forwarded
resolutions of the organization con-
demning his stand on the proposi-
ton.

EASTLAKE TAKES
STAND TODAY IN
TRIAL OF NURSE
Severe Grilling Predicted
For Witness at Hands
Of Defense.
DOOR BARRICADED
Women Climb Through Win
dows to Gain Access to
Courtroom.

MONTROSS, Va, April 27.-Miss
Sara e. Knox will appear face to
face tomorrow with Roger D. East
lake, for love of whom she is
charged with having murdered Mrs.
Margaret l.. Eastlake.
When Eastlake takes his place in
the witness chair it will be the first
time Miss Knox has seen him since
the two were taken from the little
lookup here to Richmond Jail.
It is predicted that when East
lake takes the stand he will be
subjected to the severest grilling
that a witness has ever undergone
in this court.
Five witnesses were called today.
stable of Colonial Beach; Mrs. NJ.
w. DeAtley. who operates a hotel
at the beach; T. X. Boulware,
Colonial Beach private detectives;
DR.. W. L. Carruthers and DR.. WILL
lam NJ. Brent.
Physicians, Opinions Differ.
The incident that stood out promi-
nently was the difference in the
opinions .of the physicians Of the
time Mrs. Eastlake was killed. DR..
Brent testified that when he saw
the body about $50 a. M parts OF
it were still warm. while DIR. Gar
ruthers. an old country practitioner
said that the body was cold when
he saw it at 7:30 a. m.
Attorney Harry NJ. Smith, who'
with frederick w. Coleman, is con-
Quoting the defense of the Balti-
more woman, has not stated wheth-
er Miss Knox will take the stand.
1t is evident, however, from the
way the legal fight is being con-
Quoted. that kefore the trial ends
she will tell her story.
The crowd at the trial today was
so great that before the afternoon
session orders were given to barri-
cade the single door leading to
the courthouse. This failed to de-
ter the women who were eager to
enter, many casting dignity aside
and climbing through the windows
stand on Picture Frames.
Some were standing on the backs
of benches, on one another's shoul-
ders, and even on the frames of
the huge oil paintings Of famous
IudI ucCOA dAC NhC oouhh-
room.
The court was thrown into con-
fusion when . woman screamed
that a negro standing near her<had
pistol in his pocket. Deputies
made a dash for the spot, but the
negro got through the crowd to the
door and made his escape into
woods a short distance from the
courthouse. Search for him is still
being made.
Persons arriving here today from
fredericksburg say that Eastlake.
waiting there to be called here to
testify, Is being given a wide berth
by Fredericksburg people. Last
night. It, Is said, when he went to
a picture show, persons sitting near
him got up and left, giving him one
whole end of the theater to him
self.
