Detroit Periodical Charges
Hate Motive During
Inquiry.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, September 2S.-An open
controversy between the Detroit Free
Press and Senator James CouSens. Re-
publican, Of Michigan, IN outspoken
critic of the executives Of Detroit's
closed national banks, fared up last
night with the Free Press quoting the
Senator as saying he was motivated by
hate" and q desire for revenge"
against the bankers.
The Senator is quoted as saying in
an interview that II know I'm through
politically" and that II am out to get
revenge and I will never rest until I
get even with those - who
lied about me and my dear wife"
At his Birmingham home, Senator
Couzens called these statements "hes,"
and said the Free Press could not prove
any such ridiculous statements"
Four Years to Decide.
He said that In an interview on Sep
tember II he told q Free Press repre-
sentative he was In the Senate until
1887 and that between now and then I
intend to decide what my future will
Denying emphatically that his mo-
tives in continued criticism Of former
Detroit banking methods were hate or
revenge, he declared his sole purpose
is to correct an evil" He said he had
never brought his wife into any con-
troversy. He added that II the Free
Press wants to get into . personal con-
troversy, am ready"
During the long continued grand Jury
investigation Of the bank closings that
ended last week. one witness testified
that Mrs. Couzens had drawn most of
her account from one Of the banks just
prior to the Michigan bank holiday last
February. There was also repeated
testimony that Senator Couzens' opposi-
ton to a Reconstruction Finance loan
precipitated the banking crisis.
Cabled for Postponement.
Senator Couzens was In London at
the time, as q delegate to the World
Economic Conference, but cabled . re-
quest that the inquiry be held open
until he could testify. It was, and his
charges Of an orgy Of consultations"
and unsecured loans to bank directors
were probably the most sensational of
the investigation.
The Senator denied that Mrs. Cou-
GEMS withdrawal was anything but q
routine transfer of funds, made without
knowledge Of the impending difficulties.
Senator CouZens also testified that no
Washington officials approved the appli-
cation for loan that he opposed.
Judge Harry B. Keidan, in his grand
jury findings, held that there had been
no smart money" Withdrawals, no
criminality shown on the part Of the
bankers and that the banks were SOL

Since then. Senator Couzens, chsrp-
ing he had been gagged" during the
late days Of the inquiry, has continued

Circus Press Agents Grieve;;
Gorgeous Adjectives Barred
Barrels of New Words Go to
Waste by Order of Ring
ling Car.
BY A. J. LIEBLING
Times SpecfaI Writer

NEW YORK, May Had Samuel
w Gumpertz, general manager of
Ringing Bros. and Barnum and
Bailey's combined circus, merely
ordered a change in the leopards
spots, Buck Jones, the animal boss,
would have arranged the matter.
Already an elephant has received
coat Of gilt at Gumpertz's COM
mand.
But when Gumpertz ordered the
circus press agents to change their
vocabularies he invited a crisis.
80 he don't like vastidities!"
shouted General Press Agent Roland
Butler when he received the news
yesterday that the chief executive
wanted press stuff that ANY child
could comprehend
Ruined by Dictionary
He don't like vastidities!" Butler
laughed bitterly.
"Vastidities is colorful word,
word that I never have seen used
before by living human being" he
said. 1T is hard enough to put
punch in your copy without being
hogtied by Webster's Dictionary"
It appeared that that immediate
break between Gumpertz and Butler
had come on the phrase, "A pre-
ponderation of vastidities in the
mammoth hippodrome oval" and
"An overwhelming attroupement of
stupendous innovations staggering
to the human mind to enumerate or
contemplate
Maybe a Peter Rabbit Tale
Hell" said Butler, I'm glad I
still got my typewriter. Maybe 1
can write Peter Rabbit story about
the circus. Now, little children, lit

titudes of despair around the press

pereginates its proudful paths this

somewhere. 1 have appointed Dex-
ter Fellows official stylist for the

Found in his suite at the Hotel
Forrest, where with Mrs. Fellows
a host of friends and bale of as
sorted roses and kilograms he was
celebrating the twentieth anniver-
sary of his marriage, the NeStor OF
the press staff reacted with his US
ual caution.
Have you ever thought, young
man, that this may be just a pub
Lefty device?" he inquired. In my
opinion new barrels of adjectiveS
should be broken open for the Dur
bar of Delhi alone.
THE dictionary should be torn to
shreds," Mr. Fellows went on. Cat
aclysmic is a mild word indeed ap-
piled to the rutilant redundancy of
regalistic revelry presented in the
Durbar.
"Cosmically colossal is bit I
have been revolving in my lexicon
for a while. 1t is not quite rich
enough for this unit.
The theory of circus publicity
always has been, the bigger the
words, the harder they fall. But
Mr.. Gumpertz is the boss, and if he
wants simplicity, I'll certainly see
that he gets it.
However, I don't think it's fair
to his show Really don't. Now
if it were just some little wagon
show, stupendous might be an ade-
quate adjective"

Shortly Before Trial.

The dove of peace circled closely
today around Ira M. Holmes, In
dianapolis attorney, and Sheriff
Charles CBuck) Sumner, with dis
missal of Holmes suit against Sum-
ner for $4,000 damages for assault
and battery.
He's satisfied and I am too; so
everything is o. X" Holmes stated
today. The suit was dismissed
shortly before it was to be tried in
the Franklin circuit court Wednes-
day.
Holmes indicated the sheriff had
made a satisfactory settlement"
although he did not state the
amount. 1t was reported at Frank
lin that Holmes withdrew the case
and Sumner paid the costs.
The attorney had charged that
Sumner hit him and inflicted a cut
on his forehead at the Marion
county jail June 300 1881.
This happened, the suit alleged
when Holmes visited the Jail for
purpose of seeing a client, Lewes E.
Hamilton, later convicted of the
