NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE ulti-
mate position Of Richard Merton of
Frankfort, Germany, in the Govern.
ments case against Harry M. Daugh-
erty and Thomas w. Miller, was one
for conjecture today while the trial
of the former attorney general and
the former alien property custodian
stood in adjournment until Monday
Merton, one of Germany's wealth
lest men, was called as the Govern
ments star witness. But because of
his apparent neutrality on the wit
ness stand, which to the spectators
was unexpected and the care with
which the defense Friday began his
cross-examination it became evident
that Merton, in the last analysis may
prove as important a witness for the
defense as for the Government.
Although the cross-examination
had only started when court ad-
journed Friday, Merton had told an
intricate story of the internal or
ganization of the German and Swiss
companies he represents and
brought out that large stock owner
ships in them rest in British and
Swiss as well as German hands.
The defense, as a result, may try
to show the Government made
mistake when it seized as German
property during the war the assets
of the American Metals Company
controlled by Merton's companies
and hence the return of the property
to the Swiss Metal Securities Com
| pany (Societe Suisse Pour Valeurs

The first attack on the premier

chauffeur was riding beside him. The

at the man in the adjoining seat and
the chauffeur was shot to death.
Mussolini whipped out his own re-

In September, 1924, Mussolini was

CORRECTED AGAIN
BY SPOKESMAN
White House Oracle Tells
Them They Didn't Hear
Him Right.
Times Wgsbingt0g Bureau.

I0GA NtC OTh Arthur
WASHINGTON. Sept. lids
patches from Paul Smiths, N. Y,
indicate that President Coolidge is
much annoyed because newspaper
correspondents. apparently taking
the Presidents spokesman" at his
word. got the wrong impression Of
what was in the Presidents mind.
When President Coolidge went to
White Pines Camp for the summer
the Spokesman" went too. He has
been functioning there just as he
does in Washington.
Twice a Week
In the capital he meets the news
paper writers on Tuesdays and Fri
days, the days on which the cabinet
meets to discuss administration
policies. At the appointed hours the
correspondents ,group themselves,
standing. around President Cool
idge's desk. Mr.. Coolidge mods
pleasantly from behind his desk.
When the tramping of feet has
ceased the President arises and
places his cigar in an ash tray. The
Presidential identity thereupon is
merged into that of the mysterious
spokesman.
This gentleman, on behalf of the
President, begins shutting the little
pile of questions which the CORE
spondents have submitted in adj
vance. He looks through them, smil-
ing sometimes. frowning occasional
ly, but without expression most of
the time. After he has read them all
the spokesman takes up those he
wishes to discuss. Frequently many
questions are ignored. The questions
always pertain to known and un-
known news of the day. Often they
are direct, intended to obtain the
White House, view on current af'
fairs.
Speaks Carefully
The spokesman speaks. He ex-
presses the presidential mind. His
views are given slowly, always care
fully, sometimes after long thought.
Frequently the spokesman talks at
length, going into elaborate detail Of
inconsequential matters. while the
correspondents shift nervously. On
other occasions he talks bluntly and
to the point.
The reporter are free to make
notes, and they do. When they are
in doubt, after the spokesman has
opened the subject. they are at lib
erty to ask clarifying questions.
When the spokesman has an
swered the questions he desires to
answer he mods in a final manner
and the newspaper men file out.
The President is not quoted when
the correspondents write these
stories. The views are always at
tributed to the spokesman.
No Warning Intended
Last Friday, the newspaper men,
it appears, were told by the spokes'
man that If Europe did not reduce
ornaments the United States would
build a huge air fleet. The report
ers assumed the spokesman was
speaking the Presidents mind. They
wrote articles which were cabled to
Europe. In Paris the views appar-
entity caused CONSERVATION and the
French reaction was cabled to Amer
lea. On Monday the writers were in
formed that they had permitted the
spokesman to improperly represent
the presidential mind; that no sharp
warning to Europe was intended at
all.
