MRS. FORTESQUE
a MUST FACE
CIVIL JURY
Naval Affairs Group Hears
Jurisdiction Lacking in
Charge of Murder

The Navy is powerless to
try Mrs. Granville Fortescue,
her son-ln-law, Lieut. Thomas
II. Massie, and two enlisted
men, before a-naval court for
their alleged killing of ma
tive accused of criminally at
tacking Mrs. Massie, accord
ing to Admiral William V.
Pratt, chief of operations.
Appearing today before the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
Pratt said:
"It is pretty clear that we
have no authority to try Mrs.
Fortescue. The law is specific
that we have no civil jurisdic-
tion in the Territory of
Hawaii"
While Admiral Pratt was be-
fore the committee, Victor S. K.
Houston, Hawaiian delegate in
Congress, put into the record a
communication from Gov. Law
renee M. Judd, of Hawaii, in
which he denied the Navy's ale
cation that 40 women have been
subjected to degrading attack in
the islands during the rast year.
Denial In Record
Judd characterized the estimate
as absolutely and unqualifiedly
false" and asserted territorial rec
ords only showed one criminal as
sault case and four assaults with
intent to ravish cases during 1881.
Admiral Pratt reiterated the
Navy's determination to allow no
shore leave to the 10000 men of
the Pacific fleet because of the
ugly situation in Honolulu.
Governor Judd's lAessage to Del
gate Houston said in part:

MRS. CARAWAY
SURE To WIN

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 12
GNSD Arkansas voters went to
the polls today with political OBJ
servers agreeing they will set a
precedent in American history by
electing a woman to the United
States Senate for the first time.
The woman is Mrs. Thaddeus
H. Caraway. widow of the late
Senator Although she has hardly
lifted a finger to win today's
special election, it was conceded
that it is extremely unlikely she
will be defeated. Arkansas has
never elected a Senator who was
not a nominee of the Democratic
party and Mrs. Caraway is the
Democratic candidate.
Her opponents are both indie
pendents, Sam D. Carson and Rex
Floyd.
Mrs. Caraway has been the ap-
pointive Senator from Arkansas
since shortly after her husbands
death.

She said:
"The feeling in naval circles
was that Lieutenant MaSSie was
justified in taking the law into
his own hands, IL only to set an
example.
Before the MasSie incident
civilians in Honolulu had been
more or less apathetic to exist
ing conditions, but that act
created a furOre which became
turbulent.
"NOw the upper classes in
Honolulu are taking cOgnizance

ingly approved, but a motion in
dorsing an investigation by the
United States Senate was de-
feated.
The entire meeting was tense.
The speech of Bryant Cooper
scion of an oldtime Honolulu fam
lily, was received with thunderous
applause. He said:
Honolulu is not only unsafe
for Navy wives, but for all wives.
When the law fails the citizens
take the law into their own
hands.
1--WE must sanely and calmly
seek some course Of action. If
this Republican party of which
/ am a member cannot forget
politics long enough to bring
reforms, we must seek some
other remedy"
Mrs. MasSie was at her home

through the heart was found in
Mrs. Fortescue's automobile Us it
sped toward Koko Head. In the
car with the natives body, police
said, were Mrs. Fortescue, Lieu.
tenant MaSSie and Lord. Jones
was arrested later.
Mrs. Fortescue was cheered to-
day by word that her husband,
Major Granville Fortescue, now
i'll in New York, hoped to recover
in time to come here for the trial
Defense counsel said they would
not seek a change of venue to
another jurisdiction of the island,
or to the mainland.
Easing of an ominous tension
in Honolulu seemed indicated by
action of Gov. Lawrence M. judd
and Rear Admiral Yates Stirling,
naval commandant. who, after a
conference. restored shore leave
privileges to enlisted men of the
Army and Navy.
A special committee of terri
torial legislators instructed Robert
Shingle. president of the Senate.
and Roy Vitousek. speaker of
the House of Representatives. to
send letter to Delegate Victor
Stewart K. Houston in Wash
ington. requesting him to obtain
copies of all documents passing
between the United States Navy
and Hawaiian officials relative
to the MasSie case.

Banker Says State Depart
ment Intertered in Behalf
of Colombia

When the National City
Company objected to paying a
$4,OOO,00O balance to Colombia
on a $2O,OOO,OO0 loan granted
that country, Secretary of
State Stimson sent represen-
tative of the State Department
to protest the banks action
and urged payment of the
money, the Senate Finance
Committee was informed today.
Victor Schoepperle, vice presi-
dent of the firm, testified the
State Department interposed on
behalf of Colombia following his
complaint Colombia had failed to
balance it's budget as it had prom
ised to do when the loan was
granted. Senator Johnson de-
manded:
Can you give any reason
why the State Department in.
terfered in this private matter?"
The witness said:
81 cannot"
Schoepperle, an extremely re-
luctant witness, reversed himself
several times and vigorously de-
MED Johnson's charge there was
a direct connection between the
State Departments interest in
the Colombian loan and the
enactment of legislation by Co
lombia which restored the valid
ity of the Barco oil concession,
owned by the Gulf Oil Company,
a Mellcn corporation.
Grosvenor Jones, head of the
finance and investment division
of the Commerce Department. teS
titled last week that it was after
this loan that the Colombian gov.
ernment restored a large oil con-
cession, previously revoked. in
which the Gulf Oil Company, a
Mellon-owned corporation, had a
large interest.
Johnson Irate
Senator johnson (R.), of Cali
fornia, promptly demanded that
the committee compel the wit
ness to submit the document.
Schoepperle objected on the
ground that he had not con-
suited the other parties to the
agreement" and that the contract
has not as yet been completed.
Under questioning by johnson.
the New York banker reluctantly
revealed that Freeman Mathews,
assistant chief of the Latin
American division of the State
Department, had conferred with
him in New York regarding the
authenticity of the budget re-
forms that Colombia had claimed
it mad made in 1880 and which
the bankers demanded before CIV
ing further credits.
Imposed Four Conditions
Schoepperle testified the New
York bankers, before granting
additional loans to Colombia, re-
quired the enactment of four
laws: Cd Floating a 100000
peso internal loan, ~ estab-
fishing budget, 80 putting the
government on buSiness-like
basis and az revising the anti.
quated customs system.
-Four banks participated. The
credit, Schoepperle explained,
was paid at different times and
actually only $18,400,000 has been
given.
