he made "a clean breast of his part in
the accident. 1t was then that his
folks insisted that he come down to
the police office and tell them of the
accident.
District Attorney Morris Barnett
brought out some additional questions
on Baxter's ideas of the responsibility
for the accident Baxter was told
that he was testifying only at his own
will and that he need not answer any
or all questions put to him If he saw
fit. Being under a charge the blame
for which the inquest was being held
placed him off the defensive. 1t was
his constitutional right, Barnett said,
to refuse to testify if he so desired
But Baxter declared he realized his
rights in the matter and was perfectly
willing to tell all that he was asked in
regard to the accident and his part in
it.
When asked why he consented to ride
with Thomas driving the car when he
knew that the latter was in an intoM-
Gated condition, Baxter told the dis
trict attorney that he "knew that
Thomas was a reckless driver, but he
seemed to know how to handle the
car" and he didn't worry.
Baxter also said that he noticed that
Thomas was so drunk that he had to
hang on to the car to keep his balance
when standing up on the curb, and
that che acted funny and had funny
smile on his face and couldn't walk
straight"
Carl Otto on Stand.
The other witness who turned states
evidence in the case was Carl Otto, age

many of the soft drink parlors while

automobile.

coroner's jury, he and Thomas and
/ Irving and Newman all had drinks, al
though he couldn't swear to how many
Later, at the corner of Elizabeth and
Fremont avenue, he went into the deli

water for the car. While here the

liquor when we picked him up" said
/ Otto.
"were you drunk" asked the dis
! trict attorney.
"Well, 1 was feeling pretty good
But / knew what / was doing"
After the round of visits to the
soft drink parlors Otto told of the last
ride south on Milwaukee avenue. He
said that it was he who warned Thorn
as to "Look out, you're going to hi
those people," But he says that Thorn
as paid no attention to the warning
and all at once he heard the crash, ane
i that was all he remembers. Otto say:
he does remember telling Thomas tx
stop but the latter only increased ths
speed of the car, he says. They drove

SOFIA, April 22.-The projected
voyage Of the Rumanian premier, Bra

sidera Bile attention in the Balkans.
Officially it is q state visit of a pri-
vate nature. but it is generally sur
missed that Bratiano wishes to see
Mustapha Kemal Pasha in order to
ascertain the Turkish viewpoint re-
garding the question of Bessarabia-
for since the Russo Rumanian con-
ference at Vienna was broken OF,
owing to disagreement over the status
of Bessarabia, both Russians and Ru-
manians have been indulging in vio-
lent recriminations.
Now the Russians are reported to
be concentrating troops, on the Bes-
sarabian frontier and at Bucharest
there is q certain amount OF nervous
ness The visit of Rumanlan royal

cumstances, it is possible that Ru-

little in common with Russia and IN

Another factor actuating the Ru-

Millonaires Run Show.
The multimillionaire, Ogden L.
Mills, congressman from the New
York silk stocking district, is serving
as the official messenger boy between
the Morgan agents continually in SEES
sion with the Coolidge clique and
those senators and delegates who
have to be 'set straight" on the new
plank in the Republican platform.
Mr. Mills is one of the leading stock
holders of the New York Central rail
road, which is largely controlled by
]. P. Morgan & Co. He is also a d.
rector of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, which is a member of the
House of Morgan.
Dwight w. Morrow, a member of
the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co., has
for years been associated with Cool
idge and Yields a tremendous influ-
ence over the president. The atti-
tude assumed by Coolidge toward the
world court and the Dawes plan is in
no small measure due to the influ-
ence of Morrow.
Charles B. Warren, the millionaire
automobile manufacturer, who is
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee to deliver the goods to Morgan,
is one Of the most skilled, If not the
ablest, diplomats in Americas serv-
ice today. 1t is expected that he will
surely measure up to the job of
changing the official attitude of the
Republican party on Americas rela-
tons wSh the league without being
rash and without aggravating the ex-
listing differences.
The reactionaries are doing every
thing in their power to hide this con-
nection with the Morgan interests.
They are attempting to make it ap-
pear that the Old Guard has been
cleaned out and that new men, unde-
filed by the recent oil scandal reve-
lations are now in the saddle. This
accounts for the fact that such old
war horses of the Republican stchle
as Lodge and Adams are not Ger

The Coolidge managers and the
Old Guard will do everything in their
power and stoop to any and all tae-
tics to maintain the harmony Of the
party, to fool the masseB into belisv-
ing that the Republican party Of 1924
is not the Republican party of 1920,
and to get the big campaign funds
that are SO necessary to them if they
are to stand the slightest chance OF
victory.

H. P. Dawson, member of the firm
of ]. P. Morgan & Co., is on record
as having admitted that he donated

tee alone in the last gubernatorial
elections.
Thomas Cochran, another member
of ]. p Morgan C Co., is also listed
as a heavy contributor to the Repub-
lican party campaign funds. George
F. Baker, who is closely associated
with the Morgan interests, and Ed
ward T. Stotesbury, the Philadelphia
agent of ]. P. Morgan, are among the
heaviest spenders on the Republican
party.
Besides the above group that is
strongly interested in Americas en-
tering the League of Nations in some
form or other, there is also the Kuhn
Loeb group of financiers that is sol
idly behind the Dawes plan OF the
last named Wall Street family, such
leading figures as Otto H. Kahn and
Mortimer L. Schiff are great financial
hackers Of the Republican party.
The hand of Morgan conquering in

nents Of the League Of Nations World

must enter solemn protest against
the impression, recently created, that
there is widespread corruption in the
government at Washington.
g. Our highest duty in the midst
Of al these rumors of iniquity is to
punish the guilty, but at the same
time condemn exaggeration and pro-
tect the innocent. 1t is an infamous
crime to seek to destroy the conf

government under which they live.
There is no criminal whom any inves-
tigation could expose who is more
false to decency and honor than the
man who would besmirch the name
Of honest citizens or distort the truth
for partisan advantage or personal
exploitation. IL is a most grievous
wrong to broadcast TO the nation and
