The audience in the committee
room applauded this statement Wig.
lorously.
The controversy became so acri.
monious that Senator Ladd adjourn.
ed the committee.
Banker First Witness.
Leroy w. Baldwin, president of
the Empire Trust Company Of New
York, was the first witness, and he
readily gave the committee a record
Of the Republican party's financing
Through his bank.
On September Z. 1920, the bank
loaned the committe 100000, and
on April 25, 1922, $166,62O, Baldwin
said.
The first loan was taken up as
follows: January q, 1921, $1,000;
April Is, $4,000; and the balance of
$S5, 900 December 3, 1923.
The second loan was paid in the
following installments:
February IA, 1928, $50, 1888; Febru.
airy FL, $4,000; April s, $25, 900; No.
vember 81, $22,2S7, and December
3, $4,000.
Interest on the loans was paid
monthly at 6 per cent.
The bank did not have security on
the loans, Baldwin said, but the
committee also maintained a check.
ing account with the Empire Trust
Company, which, on May IL, 1923,
totaled 100000,
Paid in U. S. Bonds.
The last installment on the first
loan was paid back in Government
bonds, which were transferred into
cash and delivered to General Du.
pont, chairman Of the board Of the
bank. by Will H. Hays, former
chairman Of the Republican. Ma.
tional Committee.
The loans were made upon the ad.
vice Of General Dupont. Baldwin
told the committee.
Did you make these loans with
out security" asked Senator Walsh
3D. of Montana.
ooh. yes"
II didn't understand the commit
tees financial standing was that
strong"
I'VE made the LOANS upon the
| recommendation Of General Dupont
and every member of the committee
was obligated"
Baldwin denied any $3.50, OOC
transaction" with the committee
and disclaimed any knowledge Of a
payment Of $4,000 to the committee
by Harry F. Sinclair, holder Of the
Teapot Dome lease.
WAS any Sinclair stock handled
by your bank in connection with
these loans?"
mo, none at all
Jennings Is Called.
Baldwin then was excused, and Al
Jennings, reformed bandit and train
robber, was called to tell the com
mittee what he knew of the alleged
big deals" that took place between
politicians at the Chicago conven
ton.
Jennings leaned back easily ir
his chair and smiled widely during
a severe examination by Senator
Walsh.
| Jennings said he had known the
late Jake Hamon. former Republi
can national committeeman, since
1902. He attended the 1920 Repub
lican convention with Hamon, hi
said.
Tells Of Political Fight.
At Walsh's demand, Jennings de
scribed the bitter political contest in
Oklahoma prior to the convention.
Ibid you have any conversation
with Hamon about his political
plans?"
''Yes; that goes back to 1918, in
Ardmore, OKLA"
Jennings described an "all-night
discussion with Hamon in his hote
room"
| Jake asked me to come back and
make the race for governor.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, December 81
(SpeciaD.-One of the four men ar
rested and indicted yesterday by a
special grand jury in connection with
the $4,000 fire at the wharf of the
Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Co.
will go on trial for arson in Cor
roration Court before Judge Howard
w. Smith next Friday. hearing
will be held Tuesday. at which time
the first to be tried will be announced.
The defendants are Arthur l.. King,
jr.; Babe" Mills, Carl Mander and
Guy Wood. King confessed, the po-
lice say, duplicating the others, who
deny completely. Kings confession
was brought about after suspicion
had been aroused because he had a
cat which was thought to be the
property of c. w. Wattles local agent
for the company. After arraignment
in Corporation Court this morning the
four men were released on IS, 900 bond
each.
Carolyn r. Crump, ~ years old, the
oldest locomotive engineer on the
Washington division of the Southern
Railway in point of service, having
run an engine on the road for more
than 81 years, died yesterday at his
home, 313 North Columbus street,
after an illness of several weeks. Mr..
Crump had been retired and pensioned
only recently. Besides his widow, he
is survived by three children-Mrs.
Walter II. Muir, Washington, and
Harvey and c. Edward Crump of this
city.

Oxford Turns Cold
Shoulder TO,Uurd
Woman Students
80 american Girls Find
Many DisconifOrts in
University.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associa ted Press
OXFORD, England, December @
Thirty-two American girls have this
year taken the short gown and at
tractive mortarboard cap, without
the board, that make up the uniform
of an Oxford woman student. Only
eight are in women's colleges, the
rest being members of curious or
ganization called the Society of On
ford Home Students. which is not a
college, although remarkably like
one, and not society of home stu
dents. Most of the girls live in the
cold and uncomfortable lodgings for
which oxford is famous.
The grand old men of the univer-
sity. the dons, fellows and heads of
colleges who lived through the suf-
fragette days when enthusiastic wo-
men poured acid on college lawns,
and corn strip into college letter
boxes, still look upon woman stu
diets with mistrust and suspicion.
While there is not among Oxford un-
dergraduates that feeling of resent
ment against woman students which
leads Cambridge men to smash the
gates of women's colleges and to
stamp and groan when woman en-
tcrs a lecture room, yet their regard
for the newcomers is far from kindly.
At best it may be defined as an I'M
easy consciousness of unconscious
superiority.
Aloofness and opposition on the
part of the men of the university
have driven the women to rely more
and more upon themselves and they
are slowly developing a social, aca-
demic and athletic world of their own,
like that of Smith or Wellesley.
Meanwhile, the life offered to an
American girl student is not an at
tractive one.

GRAFT QUIZ CLEARS
NORFOLK, VA, POLICE
Only One Indicted, Grand Jury
Finding Force Honest and I'm
justly Accused"
Ry the Associated Press,

by tne Associated fresS.
NORFOLK, Va. December Ell
Charges made here about two months
ago by Rev. David Hepburn, State
Anti-Saloon League superintendent,
that the Norfolk police department
was shot through and through with
graft" were wholly unjust spe
cial grand jury impaneled to inquire
into the case declared yesterday after
an investigation lasting six weeks.
The report of the Investigators was
filed in the corporation court. While
stating that the evidence submitted
and the deductions made therefrom
jus titled the statement that there is
apathy in the department as well as
q decided failure on the part of some
officers to properly realize the eX-
tent of the duties and responsible
ties of their positions" it added that
the evidence conclusively proved that
majority of the members of the
force are honest. and a sweeping
charge to the contrary was wholly
unjust"
A true bill was returned against II.
W. Webb, former patrolman, who was
summarily dismissed from the depart
ment by Chief S. W. Ironmonger for
alleged acceptance of a $50 .'protec-
ton bride from Lone Wolf Asher,
Federal dry agent, during a campaign
put on here early in November by a
combined force of State and Federal
agents.
