ness declared.
Forbes was almost equally empha-
tic in denying that Mortimer or any
one else had paid his expenses on
any trips. He said that instead of
Mortimer paying a hotel bill OF
$27.5O for him at the Ritz Carlton
In Philadelphia, as had been charged,
he paid bill of that amount for
Mortimer when the hotel manage
ment asked about the bill. Also he
denied that he had attended any
party at the Ritz Carleton on that
occasion. early in 1922.
What about drinking parties on
the Pacific coast trip?" asked Mr..
Easby-Smitt.
II know of no drunkenness on that
trip except by Mr.. Mortimer" was
the response.

added that, as he had testified. the

French And British
Premiers Swap Votes
On Separatist Movement

Paris, Nov. IA (By A. P.)-The
Marquis of Crewe, British ambassa-
dor, called on Premier Poincare this
evening and handed to him a note
containing a long legal argument
further sustaining British option on
the effects the Rhineland separated
movement would have on the treaty
Of Versailles. The British contention
is that the treaty. having been sign
ed with the Reisch for all of the
states composing it. could not be
imposed on states which separated
themselves from the Reisch. This
M. Poincare considered unfounded.
In turn the French premier handed
to the ambassador a note denying
the allegations that French officials
had displayed Partially in the sepa-
ratist movement This was in reply
to a memorandum which Lord Crewe
presented to Premier Poincare on
November 9. embodying reports re-
ceived by the British that the French
authorities are involved in the Rhine
land separatist movement.

Governor Baxter Entertains

The gymnasium of the Augusta Y.
NJ. c. A. was filled to capacity at the
close of the Wednesday afternoon ses-
sion of the convention. when Governor
Baxter entertained all of the dele
gates at a baked bean supper The
guests, one and all. appreciated the in
vitation of the governor and everyone
was made to feel at home. A tempt

brown bread. frankfurters. hot rolls.
cake and doughnuts was served; ci-
CARS were passed around, and the dele
gates pushed back their chairs to lis
ten to informal remarks by Governor
Baxter and Chairman StetSon of the
Board of State Assessors.
Governor Baxter in addressing the
delegates commented on the fact that
about 225 had registered, and said that
he believed another year they could
make the number 325 or $50. which
would mean so much more for good
government and sound business sense.
Those who come will return to their
homes greatly helped and much encour-
aged.
The job of every man in public office
is rather a lonesome one. Governor
Baxter said. They are left alone to
decide their problems, and they come
together to get new views. The gov
ernor then told of the convention of
governors held recently in Indiana.
which he attended. and of the matters
given discussion there.
He expressed his belief that every
public official should be an absolute
teetotaler and should set the example
for their fellow citizens. He said that
at the convention of governors not one
touched a drop of liquor while there.
1t used to be the idea at most con-
ventions to have liquor flowing freely,
but the style has changed. He did not
even hear a joke about prohibition.
The governors seriously discussed pro-
hibition and other problems.
Chairman Stetson said that he had
been deeply interested in the Associa-
ton of Maine Assessors for the seven
years this associcA on HIS held meet

Probe Charges Gov.
Walton Received
Bride for @. *. of Job

Oklahoma City, Okla. Nov. 14.--(By
A. P.)-The state senate court; disre-
garding all efforts to shorten the i'm
parchment trial Of Governor ]. c. Wal
ton. today plunged into an investiga-
tion Of the charges that he received a
bride for approving an appropriation
for the university preparatory academy
at Toncawa.
1t was alleged that $4,000 was paid
| to. A. b. Snodgrass. assistant state
highway commissioner and alleged con-
fidant Of the executive. for which they
said they had been promised the ap-
preparation for the school
No evidence was introduced to show
that Governor Walton had taken part
in the transaction or that his name
had been mentioned.
The prosecution admitted 1t could
| not present direct testimony that the
money actually had been given to the
| governor but asserted 1t would rest it's
case on ciYcumstantial evidence based
on the reported intimacy between the
executive and Snodgrass. who. the state
said 1t would show, received the mon
ey from Valentine Gardner Of Okla
homa City.
| II. J. Barclary. member Of the
academy board Of regents, testified that
he delivered the $4,000 to Gardner in
Oklahoma City. believed that 1t was to
be applied on a deficit in the fund for
the barbecue staged by Governor Wal
! ton when he was inaugurated, and that
/ the appropriation was to be approved
| in return.
| G. NJ. Cassidy, another member Of
| the board of regents, testified that
| Gardner told them the Barbecue fund
faced a shortage of $4,000 and that
it would be necessary for them to
meet the full amount in order to
| ensure the appropriation. He added
that later "like fellows trading
horses, we got down to $4,000"
The witness said he learned later
that the money did not go into the
Barbecue fund.
| Asked If he knew the governor
had approved the bill the day before
the $4,000 was paid to Gardner,
Cassidy said he had been told this
recently"
'"You were told this appropriation
| would be approved if the money was
paid over?" a member of the court
asked.
"Yes," the witness replied
Did Gardner tell you the $4,000
or any part of it would go to WAL
TOM? another court member in
quired.
1.-THE governors name was never
mentioned" Cassidy answered.
Gardner said he was the connect
! ing link between the regents and
Snodgrass, whom he knew to be
"close" to the governor. He testi-
fed that the money was paid to OBJ
tain the appointment of Barclay and
Cassidy as regents and not to ensure
the appropriation.
Recalled later, Cassidy testified
that so far as he knew. Gardner had
nothing to do with his appointment.
Gardner testified that Snodgrass
had never revealed to him what dis
position was made of the $4,000 other
than that he had to see another
party"
