SAYS SM0RSE TRIED
FALSE VOUCHER

Testimony tending to show efforts
to hoodwink the auditors for the
United States Fleet Corporation and
secure refund payments for material
which was not paid for. was offered
today by the prosecution at the trial
of Charles w. Morse, his three sons
and four others before Justice Staf-
ford and jury in Criminal Division
l on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States through war
time contracts. The evidence related
to a proposal to let a note for $780,
900 seem to represent an actual pay
ment of that amount to the kearfott
Engineering Company of New York
in order that the MorSeS could show
a voucher for that amount to the
fleet corporations auditors and obtain
refund payment.
Robert NJ. Boyd. jr.. attorney for
the company, testified that Harry F..
Morse, one of the defendants. made
the proposition to officers of the COM
pany and repeated it to the witness
who called on him. When he had de-
cllned to advise the acceptance Morse
told him, he said, that the proceeding
was usual and many large deals were
sW unE in that manner. If the kear
fott Engineering Company was not
willing to oblige him in that trans
action, witness declared, Harry +.
Morse said he would see that the
company received no more contracts.
"S:OO.OOO Check Proposal"
According to the witness the pro-
posal was that the Groton Iron Works
should issue to the Kearfott Engineer
ing Company check for 100000 and
the engineering company gives it's
check for the same amount to the
United States Steamship Company and
that notes of the latter corporation be
substituted for notes of the Groton
Iron Works then held by the engi-
neering company

stand u. II. Gilligan. former auditor

TOS0L|C|T FUNDS

President Harding has given au-
thority to the local Grand Army OF
the Republic to solicit contributions
from certain officials Of the federal
government to help defray expenses
incident to the coming ceremonies
planned for the observation or
Memorial day in Washington.
Besides this the executive headed
the list of governmental contributors

commander OF Kit Carson POST ano

amount and accerted an invitation
to make an address during the exer-
cises at Arlington.
At the same time he said he hoped
that the members of the G. A. r. and
their friends would understand that
recent order prohibiting soliciting
subscriptions from government en-
ployes in the federal departments was
not intended as discrimination against
that organization, but was decided
upon by the cabinet a necessary
means to put a stop to the greatly in
creased practice on the part OF or
ganizations of soliciting funds in the
departments.
Takes Away Gloom.
However, the Presidents sanction
of plan to solicit only certain off,
GERS of the government-those whose
salaries are above the maximum pre-
scribed by the classified service--and
his own contribution. and his ready
agreement to speak at Arlington, has
lifted considerable of the gloom that
has hung over those directing the
plans for the coming celebration
since the word VIZ received that GUS
tomary departmental soliciting had
been placed under the ban.

JEAN ELIOT ON SOCIETY
Mem Form Devised
for White House
Gifts
By JEAN ELIOT.

mr. RS. COOLIDGE has evolved
an original response to ap-
AVA peals from organizations
seeking a donation from the
Mistress of the White House and
sent an autographed steel engraI
ing of the White House to the
chairman Of a general committee
seeking to erect a memorial
monument in East Rockaway.
Mrs. Harding used almost always
to send a fine embroidered hand
kerchief when. she could respond
favcrably to requests to con-
tribute to charitable bazaars.
The persistent rain interfered
with the White House plans to-
day. for the sons of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge had in
tended to put in the morning on
the tennis court and had hoped
that their father might be per-
suaded to look on for a bit.
However, despite the dismal day,
Mrs. Coolidge and the boys, John
and Calvin, jr., made a tour of
the White House stables and the
garage, stopping to make the &C.
Quaintance Of General, the. mount
the President has claimed for his
own. and the other horses.
The radio Is proving a constant
source of entertainment and inter-
est to the boys, particularly when
the weather keeps them indoors,
and they spent several hours
working with it today.
Yesterday President Coolidge re-
ceived Mrs. Arthur Livermore,
Of Yonkers, N. Y, who afterward
called on Mrs. Coolidge. Mrs.
Livermore is a member of the
Republican National Committee
and, moreover, treasures friend
ship with President and Mrs.
Coolidge which dates from her
earlier residence in Massachusetts,
Mrs. Coolidge accompanied Mrs.
Harding to the station yesterday
afternoon and sped her on her
way to Marion. The Postmaster
General and Mrs. New were also
in the little group which as
scmbled to bid her good-by, Gen.
eral and Mrs. Sawyer and Major
Ora o. Baldinger being members
of the party accompanying her
on her Journey. 1t was raining
hard as the train pulled out
just such rain as fell on that
afternoon ten days ago when
Mrs. Harding left the White
House for the last time.
-
WASHINGTON is a bit cynical
W toward officials and their
wives, but Mrs. Harding has made
an extraordinary place for her
self in our hearts by her fortitude
in trouble as well as by the genu-
inc kindness she displayed in the
trying role Of Mistress of the
White House. A prayer goes up,
therefore, that rain, the symbol of
sorrow, may not be prophetic and
that henceforth only sunshine will
come into the life of a woman who
has won a nations sympathy AMI
respect.
The hope that the former Presi-
dents widow will return here to
make her home is freely expressed.
She has been so intimately associ-
ated with affairs of international
Importance and she is woman
of such keen acumen that 1t does
not seem likely she would be will
ing to settle down very far from
the political center of gravity.

MastOdOn Meat for
 Alaska S0urdoughs

Dawson,-Try this one, fresh from Alaska.
 Four Alaska sourdoughs celebrated a reunion in Dawson last winter by din- ing on meat of tbe prehistoric mas todon, frozen in glacial ice for several thousand years. The story was told by Alexander NJ. Smith, who is in Seattle for the winter.
 The morsel was found by two pros pectors on the Annahannie river, a tributary 10 the Mackenzie, which flows into the Arctic. It was so well preserved that they cut off two strips of the frozen meat to take to Dawson as curiosity. There they met two sourdough friends from the Ko4ukuk, They hadn't met for three years. They grew convivial under the flashing northern lights. when someone sug- gested meal.
 How about mastodon sandwich?" suggested one of the prospectors from the Mackenzie.
 Bring it on, said the Koyukuk sourdoughs, who had eaten everything in the north country from mountain sheep to seal.
 The dry and brittle meat, the same sort of meat, perhaps, that eraced the cave mans board in antediluvian days, was spread between crackers and smeared with mustard.
 The sourdoughs reported that the meat tasted like cross between wal rus and white whale meat.
