NJ ORSES LOSE
POINT; TRIAL
MARCH 10
Motion to Quash Indictments
Ruled Out by Justice
Stafford.
c0gYRlols1s NJ UNDERi

A motion of the District Attor-
ney to strike out the motions to
quash the conspiracy indictments
against them, made by Charles w.
Morse, his three sons, and Rupert
M. Much, was today sustained by
Justice Stafford in the District SUI
preme Court.
The court held that Fletcher
Dobyns, former assistant attorney
general, who was present in the
grand jury room at the time OF the
investigation of the case was prop
erly commissioned by Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty. and was acting
under his direction. The accused
again entered plea of not guilty.
The case is now expected to reach
trial March 10.
The case had been scheduled to
be put on Wednesday. but as a
number of the witnesses are accom-
panying President Harding on his
trip to Florida. the trial was post
poned.
The contention Of Nash Rock
| wood, of counsel for Morse, that the
| presence of Fletcher Dobyns in the
grand Jury room during the investi-
CATION of the case was unauthor-
| lied, was overruled by Justice Stat.
ford who held that the point could
not be raised under the circum-
stances, and that it would be
against public policy to quash an
| Indictment upon the ground as
shown on the record in the case.
The court also disregarded the
claim advanced by Much that he had
been forced to testify before the
grand jury against himself.

Germany to Refuse All
ReparatiOn Payments
While Ruhr Is Occupied
international News Service

BERLIN, March 5.-Germany's
decision not to conduct any repara.
tons negotiations with France and
Belgium nor to make any payments
OF any kind during military occu.
patton of the Ruhr was formally
put into effect today. Answering
q communication from the inter.
allied reparations commission, the
government refused to deliver fer
tilizer to the French and Belgians
rs demanded.
The German government an
nounced that it would refuse even
20 discuss reparations payments
with France and Belgium so long
as the Ruhr was occupied How
ever, negotiations are in progress
with Italy as that county did not
send any troops to assist the
Franco-Belgian forces in their new
territorial seizures.

HARDING LEAVES
FOR 4 WEEKS
VACATION
Plans Houseboat Voyage on
indian River With Party
of Friends.
Continued from First Page.)

CONTINUED from First FaSel
destination being Miami and Palm
Beach. The train will arrive at
Ormond at noon Tuesday and it is
probable the. President and his
party will go from the train to the
boat.
Stops are scheduled down the
east coast for golf, but no set pro.
gram has been arranged and the
itinerary will be governed entirely
by the wishes of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harding.
The President plans to be absent
from the Capital about four weeks,
although this, too, is tentative, de-
pending to a large extent upon how
we'll Mrs. Harding stands the trav-
cling. She left the White House
today for the first time since early
in September. In six months she
has confined her activities to short
walks within the mansion proper,
wheel-chair trips about the grounds,
and has received virtually no callers
except for a few intimate friends.
The only other matter that could
conceivably cause a change in the
Presidents plans to be absent a
month, according to members of his
party would be for the European
situation to suddenly crystalline to
q point where the United States
would become more involved than
at present. Members of his party,
however, viewed this contingency
as being remote
President Harding probably will
decide in the next few weeks the
scope of his contemplated western
tour, for which tentative plans have
been made in midsummer. This trip,
as now contemplated, calls for the
President to go to the Pacific coast,
making a series of some twenty
major speeches in his round.trip
across the continent.

American Protest on
French Ruhr Blockade
Is Reported i'm London
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON
international News Service.

LONDON, March 5.--America has
Become so concerned over the effect
of the Ruhr customs blockade upon
American trade that Washington al
ready has made representations to
France, according to reports current
here today n doplimatic circles.
Report Is Detailed.
While the source of the report il
not definite, the report itself is de-
tailed. 1t is understood that the
United States is likely to. follow the
policy a 1914, when Washington
defended the rights of neutral COM
merce against the allied blockade of
Germany. 1t is reported that the
United States wishes to obtain trade
conditions similar to those before
ehe French invasion.
Myron T. Herrick, American am
bassador to France, and Eliot Wads-
worth, assistant secretary of the
American Treasury, are said to have
spoken plainly to French ministers
1n Paris last week along these lines.
France is resentful of American
interference in the Rhineland and
has made it plain that she does not
want American mediation in the
Ruhr.
Recently inspired articles have ap.
peared in French newspapers say.
ing that France would not listen to
the proposal for American inter.
vention except on these two condi.
tions:
Cancellation of war debts.
Ratification of a pact to secure
Frances frontiers and her territory
In war time.
1t IL generally believed that these
articles were intended to brighten
off American mediation as the
American Congress has already re-
Jected French security pact and
the Washington Government has

2. THAT he, as directing head of
the bank, was continuously critii-
cised for excessive loans made to
officers and directors: that at one
time, 8 per cent Qe the capital and
surplus funds of the bank was

The statement, in part, follows:I
Elm 1919, there was so much
gossip in local banking circles
about this bank and McNary's
speculations in sugar, that McNary
found 1t necessary to defend the
position of himself and directors.
He wrote a letter In which he re-
ferred to q loan from a New York
trust company Of approximately
Sis, 600, which he had borrowed
on his own account and which his
board of directors had previously
declined to assume.
Denied Deal In Sugar.
"FIe denied that his bank had any
connection whatever with this or
any other sugar transaction, and
yet, as result Of our inquiry,
we find that in spite of the di.
rectors declining to make this loan,
one of the vice presidents OF his
bank wrote a letter to this New
York trust company, giving the
banks guarantee OF the, loan, and
he (McNary) forwarded this guaran-
tee to New York, because the
trust company had previously de-
clined to make the loan unless
guaranteed by the bank.
"McNary's declaration that the
bank had no connection with this
loan stated that it was the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but
the TRUTH and now that the dis
crepancy has been discovered, he
admits that his letter was not true,
but that it was an oversight on isis
part.
"McNary has told me that re
contributed $4,000 to the National
Republican campaign fund, but /
90 not ue6m THIS SUFFICIENT T0dSOH
why, under the circumstances, he
should be made Comptroller of the
Currency.
1t has been argued in behalf of
McNary that he was a frontier
banker and these practices had to
be INDUCED in to promote the de-
velopment OF the territory. This
may be true, but I do not believe
these methods should be condoned.
eff he were a candidate for some
other office, these arguments might
not be good, but this particular re-
sponsible position should not be
filled by a man of his training and
experience.
"The Comptroller Of the Currency
should have the highest ideals of
banking ethics and should be, like
Caesars wife, above reproach."

have produced a peculiarly

whose blood is warmer, whose
tissues are drier than the Eu-
