COUNT SALT'S SON MADE ISSUE IN SUIT Former Millicent Rogers’ Husband Seeks Custody of Child Held by Mother. - By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 19.—The ques- tion of whether 2-year-old Peter Salm | Hoogstraeten is to become an Austrian {or an American will be the chief issue in the trial sot for next Monday of ‘ount Ludwig Salm Hoogstraeten's suit for separation against his wife, | the former' Millicent Rogers. | Counsel for the count said that the chief point of issue in the trial would be the custody of the child. Peter is now living with his mother. Count Salm Hoogstraeten will ask the court to award the boy to him. The count never saw the boy until he was more than a year old, the child having been born in this cown- try after the countess had left her husband in Europe and returned to her father, H. H. Rogers. She is hefress to part of the Standard Oil fortune left by the late H. H. Rogers.

AUSTIN, Tex., October 19.—With the November election regurded as a routine matter as far as major State offices are concerned, Democratic party leaders today centered thelr attention on the investigation of charges by a legislative committee that James E. Ferguson, husband of Gov. Mirlam A. Ferguson, received money in connection with the award- ing of highway contracts during his wife's administration. Charges of irregularities in highway affairs, a major issue in Texas poli- tics since Ferguson was ousted as governor several ye: ago, furnished the basis of one df tie hardest fought campaigns in the State’s history, when Mrs. Ferguson was defeated for re- nomination for governor by Attorney ieneral Dan Moody in a run-off pri- mary. Asserts $7,500 Was Asked. With the Democratic nomination considered equivalent to election, party leaders carried the highway fight into the special legislative ses- sion called last month by Mrs. Fer- guson to validate $190,000,000 of State road bonds, declared invalid by the United States Supreme Court. proclamation calling the special ses: sion, Gov. Ferguson invited the legis lators to “investigate any State de partments they might desire.” legislature adopted a new road bond measars and before adjournment last week appointed the committee which yesterday began its hearings of the charges of acceptance of bribes by former Gov. Ferguson. Testifying before the committee yes- terday, J. D. Winder, road contractor of Bellesville, Tex., declared Ferguson told him he could have maintenance contracts in five counties if Winder would pay him $7,500. contractors _ generally understood,” Winder testified, “that it would cost them 10 per cent of the contract to get a county malntenance contract.” The witness then detailed his al- leged dealings with Ferguson in which he sald he refused to pay $7,500 in return for a $75,118 contract. Gift of $250 Alleged. W. G. Hill, Aystin, an accountant, testified he paid $260 to Eugene Smith, former secretary of the highway com- mission, as a gift to induce the com- mission’ to pay a $3,600 auditing bill. Smith, who now is chairman of the highway commission, denied Hill's charges. Ferguson in a statement last night declared he did not know Winder, He characterized the allegations as a “po- litical falsehood” and claimed that “every member of the committee is = bitter partisan against me personal- 1y, as well as against the administra- the highway investigation started yesterday.. jov. Ferguson pardoned Murray Jackson, one of sev- eral men convicted by Moody in a Ku Klux Klan flogging case three vears ago.

Whether the evangelist and her mother would take the stand has not been determined, W. I. Gilbert, chief defense counsel, said today. A large number of other probable witnesses for the defense were notified to be on hand when the preliminary hearing resumed in Municipal Court. The prosecution indicated that Mil- ton Carlson. handwriting expert, would be the last State's witness called. Carlson’s expert testimony is relled upon by the prosecution to identify the handwriting of the gro- cery slips found in a cottage vacated by Ormiston and a mysterious woman companion after a sojourn at Carmel- -the-Sea last May. Carlson also is expected to identify the original chirography of numerous telegrams nd signatures on hotel registe; Miss Bernice Morris, secref to the late R. A. McKinley, blind attor- ney of Long Beach, and one of the evangelist's accusers, today faced further grilling at the hands of At- torney Gilbert. One of the counts in the conspiracy charges agalnst Mrs. McPherson and her mother specifies that they con- spired with McKinley to manufacture false evidence to substantiate the evangelist's story of having been kid- naped by two men and a woman and held for ransom. McKinley recently was killed in an automobile accident. During the closing hours of yester- day's court session Miss Morris underwent a grilling cross-examina- tion which falled to shake her original story that she had ‘been importuned by Mrs. McPherson and her mother to continue the “work’ undertaken by McKinley to produce “kidnapers” to support the evangelist’s abduction story. . Miss Morris told of several trips made to Angelus Temple at Mrs. McPherson’s request. Miss Morris sald that on one occa- sion she was handed a $20 bill by Mrs. Kennedy with the promise “we’ll ave something nice for you the next | me.” FOUR KILLED AT CROSSING Auto Hit by Passenger Trmain Near Medford, Mass.
