BORAH SUPPORTS
COOLIDGE GUN IDEA
Backs President in 0pposi-
ton to Elevation on
BattIeShipS.

President Coolidge's position op-
posing the elevation Of the guns on
the battleships is strongly supported
by Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate foreign relations committee,
in a statement issued yesterday after
noon. Senator Borah at the same
time took occasion to point to the
advisability of calling another dis
armament conference without delay.
He said:
IF / understand President Cool
idgges position relative to the eleva-'
tion of the guns, 1 most sincerely
support that position. 1 think that
we ought not to take the chances of
shattering the whole disarmament
movement and opening up another
great naval race on account OF
minor matters. The question Of gun
elevation is not wholly unimportant
but 1t is not so important as that of
preserving and advancing the cause
of disarmament. If another naval
race is started 1t ought not to be
by reason of any fault Of ours or by
reason of any doubtful construction
of the treaty upon our part.
Better to Waive TechRicaIities-
1t iS much better that we waive
something which technically we
might be entitled to under the
treaty than to give any justification
whatever for disregarding the treaty
| by others.
at seems to me, however, that this
| situation calls for more speedy action
| in calling another disarmament con
| ference. The treaty can be made
certain and definite, and in the light
| Of experience and observation, more
| effective, and we can also perhaps
| include other weapons than those
| covered by the last treaty. 1t IS
perfectly apparent that we cannot
! wait for Europe to take the initiative
with reference to a disarmament con-
ference. 1t is much better to have
| the conference and to undertake to
| solve these questions in that way.
! We can gather a great lesson in this
| matter by looking back over the his
| tory in the respective parliaments Of
| Europe when naval programs Were
| up for discussion between 1900 am
! 1914. Let US have d conference r.
| possible"

EVIDENCE IN PARDON SCANDAL
GROWS, INQUIRY IS DEMANDED

not think anything particular of it,
and let the boy take a copy of the
pardon down to the hotel to him.
This was some time about or 2:30,
Is near as L remember il, in the after
noon.
Il did not see the boy any more
until something near $50 in the
afternoon. He had not said anything
to me at any time about Mr.. Pollman
employing him or giving him or offer
ing him any money. At $50 he told
me what had happened at the hotel.
Denies Charges.
THE statements regarding Glen
Davis are untrue where they say that
l talked to Glen Davis about a money
consideration for his parole and COM
mutation, or in respect to a pardon
for Pollman. Pollman had first called
my attention to Glen Davis as an
inmate of the penitentiary and had
taken quite an interest In him and
mentioned him frequently to me. The
board of administration had also been
attracted to Davis by his outstanding
work in the institution.
Davis had been about my Office in
and out for several days about the
time I issued his parole and commu-
tation. The board of administration,
as l remember, had recommended a
full and complete pardon, but l did
not think his case warranted that
action and so had given him a parole
with Communication to 20 years. He
was dissatisfied apparently with this,
at least, he stayed about a day or
two trying to persuade me to give
him more of a cut.
This | want to reiterate, that /
considered Glen Davis parole and
communication on the merits of the
case and gave him what l thought
the record indicated he should have,
without any thought at any time of
any money consideration, and that l
considered Pollman's case on its mer-
it's and the Information I had regard
ing 1t, without any knowledge or
thought or consideration OF a none
tary nature, so that while some of the
statements in the story are true, they
have been able to build up enough
falsehoods and by taking advantage
of my friendship for Pollman and
Davis and of the unsophisticated ma
ture Of my son to inveigle him into
some indiscreet acts. I am sure he
did not realize the gravity Of his ac-
tions or he would have consulted me
and been saved from the humiliation.
Says Hearings Open.
Il have held these parole nearing 5
at all times with an open door and at
no time and in no case have l been
Influenced by the payment of any
money.
"I am sure a full and complete in
vestigation Of all the records and
files in the parole cases 1 have gone
over will show just basis for the de-
cision reached in each case"
An unconditional pardon was grant
ed late today by Gov. Davis to Mrs.
Mary K. Eggleston of Larned, recently
convicted of plotting. to poison her
aged suitor, Dave Ely.
Mrs. Eggleston was sentenced to
serve an indeterminate term of to
30 years in the State penitentiary.
