GOULD, AID AVERS Hinckley Denounces Walsh’s| Attitude—Holds ““Proofs™ Are Not Convincing. By the Associated Press No one could read the testimony of Ross Thompson, who was associated with Senator Gould, Republican, Malne, in the incorporation of the St. Johns and Que Railway Co., without concluding that the Senato; had no part in the turning over of $100,000 to a political party in Brunswick, Frederick . Hinkley counsel for Gould, testified today b fore the committee inv zating the matter. Thompson had testified that Gould had no hand in the transfer of the fund to Premier Flemming of New Brunswick in 1912, Assails Walsh’s Atttiude. Hinckley said Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who asked for the investigation, had never re- ferred to Gould as Senator in argu- ment before the committee yester- day, and that this attitude would be resented by the people of Maine The rule of law in fraud cases, Hinckley declared, holds that the “evi- dence must be clear, full and convinc ing” and that nobody would hold that the evidence against Senator Gould came under this rule. If the committee is to accept the contention of Senator Walsh that Sen ator Gould fs guilty of bribery and perjury, Hinckley asserted, it must also hold that the other witne: perjured themselves to aid “No case is made out laid bare by an agent, whom he de- | clined to name, who emulated the | example of the operators of the | Bridge Whist Club in New York, and a half months and had either bought dealer County Several weeks ago Mr. Tuttle an nounced the undercover agent burned | his own still and told a story o van- dals, in order that he might make pur- chases from other manufacturers for evidence.

PANANA SUSPENDS STUDY OF TREATY of consequence in Broad | President to Seek Solution of | U. S. Relations to Satisfy Nation’s Hopes. By the Associated Press | PANAMA, January 27.—Considera- | tion of the Panaman-United States treaty has been suspended by Congress until the President shall have had a further opportunity to seek a solution that will fully satisty the aspirations of the nation. A resolution adopted at yesterday's sitting, sets forth that there are “some | stipulations in the treaty that have produced profound repercussion in the public mind.” and that for the rela- tions between Panama and the United States to be most cordial it is conven- fent that these relations remain fixed in such a manner that in the future a divergency between the two will not arise. There has been considerable agita- tion in Panama against the new treaty, which provides among other things that the armed forces of the United States shall have free transit through the country in time of peace and that Panama shall declare herself in a state of war “in case of any war in which the United States should be a belligerent.” Other articles give the United States complete control over all radio and cable communications and supervision over all afreraft and aviation centers. THREE KILLED ON TANKER NEW ORLEANS, La., January 27 (P).—Three men were killed and six injured, one of whom may die, when a gasoline tank in the pump room on the oil tanker O. T. Waring exploded while the vessel was anchored in mid- stream just below New Orleans last night All of the dead are negroes. The Waring was the scene of an ex- plosion early last April. While the ship was in dry dock (for which she was being prepared vesterday) an ex- plosion on April 9 took the lives of 6 men and injured 44 others. The bodies of the men were hurled high in the air by the blast, the force of which was so great that pupils in a nearby school were ordered to leave the build- ing because it was feared that another explosion would collapse the structure.

Parallels Villa Case. Hinkley said the $100,000 transaction was parallel to foreing payments from American ranchers to Pancho Villa to get their cattle over the Mexican border. ““Would these attlemen sider unfit for society because of the payment of this money?” he asked “Here is a man whose integrity never has been questioned before being sub- jected to such charges.” Senator Walsh told that a telegram sent Tues former Premier Flemming, inviting him to appear, had not been delivered because physiclans attending Flem- ming would not permit it. Meanir.g of Testimony Disputed. The hearing yesterday revolved around a discussion of the meaning of certain testimony given by Senator Gould. Hinckley declared that Senator Walsh had sought to impeach the tes- timony of Senator Gould by quoting a part of the testimony offered to the committee Instead of considering it as a whole. The argument centered around the pronoun “L.” Senator Gould had testi fled that when he appeared in New Brunswick before Justice McKeown and declared that he had given P mier Flemming §100.000 as a contri- bution to his Conservative ps he meant that his railroad corporation had made the contribution and that it was done without his knowledge or consent. Senator Walsh attacked this testi mony as absurd, adding that if that were the case, Senator Gould had placed himself in the position of a man, who, knowing that a crime was to be committed and with power stop it, had not raised his against and had profited by favors accrued from the be con the committee hand it th that Gen.

DEMOCRATS DENY UPPORT TO MARX Action Leaves Coalition Gov- ernment With Only 248 Votes Out of 491. By the Associated Press BERLIN, January crats, whose.32 votes would have in- sured Chancellor Marx a more stable | majority in the Reichstag for his pro- | posed coalition government, today | unanimously decided not to partic pate in the coalition. As it stands { ~ith the Centrists, People's party, Ba- varian People’s party and the Nation- lallsts agreeing to participate, the | coalition would command only 248 | votes out of the 491 in the Reichstag. | Publication in the Centrist, Liberal and left press of the Marx govern- ment program as agreed to by the Na tionalists aroused a storm, of protest today in the Nationalist organs, which charged bad faith and intimated that | former Chancellor Wirth was respons- {ible for the “premature publication.” | | | | { Program Called Incomplete. A Berlin dispatch last night said that the Nationalists, in accepting the chancellor’s outlined program, had agreed, first, to conscientious enforce- {ment of the presidential decree for- | bidding enlistment in the reichswehr of recruits on probation or temporary | training for reserves or officer re- | serves; second, to interdiction of mem- bers of the party joining or co-op- erating with political organizations of any kind, and third, regulations pro- hibiting enrollment in the reichswehr !of anti-Republicans. They also prom- ised loyal co-operation in the League of Nations. The press chief of the Nationalists said_today “The program as published is incom- plete and inaccurate. It is not true that we are turning our backs on the past. The program merely contains slogans whose interpretation will be made clear by a protocol which was submitted to the coalition parties to- gether with the Marx program. Be- ides, only when the question of per- sonnel of the cabinet has been settled | will_the public be enabled to judge | the Nationalist position.” Nationalists Furious. { In the Reichstag lobbies it is {serted that the Nationalists are furi- ous, because they intended to sugar- |coat the pill for their voters by issu- {ing the protocol as a commentary to hid> their about-face. Nationalist at- | tempts to deny the authenticity of the program text is rendered more diffi- jcult by the fact that Germania, the | Centrists’ officlal organ, also pub-| lished it, adding editorially that the Nationalists had broken completely with the pa “On the | { | | | before the Kaiser's birthday,” it said. “'they make solemn | confession of faith in the republic and guarantee protection of the repub- lican constitution and the black, red and gold flag. | “No party ever more | readjusted its viewpoint.” thoroughly |STATEMENTS BY FOUR IN BUSCH TRIAL READ IN JURY’S ABSENCE __(Continued from First Page {ing declaration” of Officer Busch. Through a misunderstanding the doc- tor, who had been in the witness |room during the morning session, had been excused, Capt. Frederick Cornwell was called. Capt. Cornwell testified that when he arrived at Garfield Hospital about | three-quarters of an hour after Busch was shot he found his officer lying on | a table in the emergency room. Corn- | well said Busch told him, “Captain, | I am shot bad; I am through.” Capt. | Cornwell said he red the wounded | man that he would recover and then he obtained a description of the man who Busch said shot him. Court Is Adjourned. Capt. Cornwell's testimony was | offered as a prelude to the ‘“dying | | declaration” or Officer Busch to Dr. ] Benoit. The defense, however, vigor- | ously objected on the ground that they had not heard enough proof to satisi them that Busch had abandoned hope | for recovery when he told Capt. Corn- well he was “through.” Mr. O'Shea suggested that had] Officer Busch a premonition that he could not live he would have called| for some one dear to him. Horning replied that he had testimony to show that a moment before Cornwell ap- peared Busch told Policeman* Brad shaw to send for a priest and Mrs Busch. In view of that statement, Mr. O'Shea agreed that the ‘“dying declaration” would be admissible, The declaration, it is understood, names the men who shot Officer Busch. Justice Hitz announced that he would take this matter under advisement along with the four statements until tomorrow and adjourned court at 1 o'clock for the remainder of the day, | as the jury previously had been ex cused. Much of the morning session today was given over to conferences among the various counsel about the state- ments of their clients. Each attorney read the statements of the defendants while Justice Hitz sat at the bench for an hour watching the procedure, Revolvers an Issue. After the lunch recess yesterday James B. Archer, counsel for Proctor, inquired after the status of the subpoena he requested of the court for the revolvers of Busch and Ach. Horning replied that he had two guns {in a box before him and that he would be glad to turn them over “if jyou will stipulate that they belonged to Busch and Ach.” They were turned over to Archer without any stipulation on his part, however. Through Capt. Frederick Cornwell of No. 10 police station, Horning placed in evidence a revolver found on the scene of the shooting and four emipty shells it contained.
