( "I understand that attempts are being made to subordinate the problem | f international loans to a new amp. utatlon of our claims. Never will that be permitted," said Premier Raymond Poincare in the Chamber of Deputies to-day. "This morning I notified the French delegation on the Rnnflrntion« Pnmmiflsinn that it miist not lend Itself to any such maneuver." This declaration by the Premier. In the midst of the continuation of the f'ebate on the foreign policy of the Government, received tremendous applause. This is considered largely responsible for the almost unprecedented vote of confidence accorded at the close of the tempestuous session, the Premier receiving 481 votes for and only 100 against his conduct in regard to the Genoa conference, his opposition to facing new dangers at The Hague and his appeal to extreme nationalism, in which every day he demands a reparation settlement, but Is unalterably opposed to any further reductions. The vote gives authority to the Governmenlt to act without the other allies if Germany violates the Versailles treaty and to decide whether France will be represented at the Hague eonrerence. trge) Broader Policy.

June 2 (Associated Press).. M. Herrlot charged Premier Polncare with being responsible for the question of International loans not being put before the Genoa conference.

The adjournment has caused much concern, besides numerous unfounded rumors as to the difficulties arising in their conferences, as well as suggestions of differences among the bankers themselves.

June 8. I The frenzied attempts of Senate Finance Chairman MeCumber to rush the bonus raid to a vote has not affected the position of President Harding in the slightest degree. Information of direct character came from the White House to-day that the President is not "wabbling" as some' of the bonus Senators hnve attempted to make it appear. Several Senators and other persons who talked with the President this afternoon have the very best reason for knowing he is still opposed to any bonus project that does not carry a sales tax and that he is further of the belief that the bonus bill should be abandoned for the time being. Reiteration of the President's posi- tion did not have the slightest effect, however, on the plans of the Senators who attach unwarranted importance to the political influence of the American Legion officials, which results of recent primaries prove to be a glaring fallacy. Feverish Political Chase. Mr. McCumber and other Senators, who have worked themselves Into a high state of excitement over the political influence of the organization created for non-partisan and purely patriotic purposes, are going ahead with their scheme to put through a bonus bill. They will make their try with the Fordney-Mondell measure, which the President has indicated he wjll not accept, but which Mr. McCumber has adopted in large part as the basis for the bill whlcn carries his name. That measure will be formally reported to the Senate on Monday with what are Intended to be* "solemn ceremonies," warranted only by a declaration of war or the reestablishment o.' peace through Congressional action. Officials of the American Legion are going to make the event a "*olemn ceremony." When the movie maehlner have been properly placed a ">and and valiant escort of bonus seekers will escort Mr. McCumber and his bill from the Finance Committee room to the Senate Chamber.

After the "solemn ceremony" has been completed Mr. McCtimber's bill will be before the Senate. He j»doubtedly will attempt to have It considered at once either by unanimous consent or a motion to displace the tariff measure. It Is of Incidental Interest that the President to-day caused It to be known that he does not favor the withdrawal of the tariff fr.r any purpose, but Is of the opinion thn» Congress should pnsa the meaiure the present session. Any move made by Mr. McCumber and his bonus associate to progress their bill Is certain to he defeated.

HE NI NEW YORI RS UNCERTAIN vr OF POWERS ain a Clearer Interpretation Commission Regarding ranging a Loan. structions of the Reparations Commission were not as clear as some desired, leaving doubts as to the scope of their deliberations and any eventual suggestions. "Naturally," said one banking expert to-day, "the committee, being composed of men of practical banking experience, does not wish to make suggestions for any loan except on a basis which will protect the lenders. It was this alone which necessitated an adjournment, and the Reparations Commission will be able, between now and next Wednesday, to give a clearer interpretation of Just what the committee's role is to be.*" It was pointed out that the actual decision to float a loan, as well as the details of I.ow it could be distributed, do not fall within the Jurisdiction of the bankers themselves, the Governments represented on the Reparations Commission and Germany herself having the Anal voice In these matters. It was insisted to-day that the committee thus far has satisfied itself on one point.that international confidence in the future of Europe is possible only if the entente of England and France is established. As to the sl'/e any loan may attain and the conditions under which it will be possible, the bankers have decided to refrain from personal expressions until they know the attitude the Reparations commission will take toward their assuming the "mandate to study" the situation in the fullest sense of tbe word. BOY HELD AS SLAYER OF LAWRENCE GIRL Francis Kluxen, Once Arrested, and Later Freed, Is Indicted in Murder. ^ CLAMOR AGAINST MILLS! New Jersey Attorney-General Asks Special Prosecutor for Morristown Case. Special Dispatch to Tirr N'rw Toik Hbkaid. Morkistown, X. J., June 2.-»-The May term of the Morris county Grand Jury returned an Indictment to-night against Francis Kluxen. Jr., J 7, charging him with the murder of Janette Lawrence, 12, in Kluxen's Woods, near Madison, last October 6. The boy was arrested and locked up in the Morris county jail. He refused to make a statement. It is expected Justice Parker of the Supreme Court, who received the indictment, will set a date for the trial soon, but before he does so he must appoint a special prosecutor to handle the case for the State. Thomas McCran, Attorney-General of Xew Jersey, presented the case to the Grand Jury and aided in obtaining most of the evidence on which young Kluxen wa.s indicted, but last night after the court had received the indictment he asked to be relieved. Mr. McCran said he did not cars to be connected with the case any longer, and that he would not have time to handle It, as he had made arrangements to go to Europe for the summer and expects to sail within a few days. He also asked that County Prosecutor John M. Mills be suspended from any connection with the case, and asked the court to name a special prosecutor. Prosecutor >1 ills, except for giving the Attorney-General some assistance In collecting evidence, has had no connec- tion with the case since Frank Jancarek, a laborer, was tried for the crime and acquitted. Even before the Jancarek trial-the attitude or Mr. Mills was so displeasing to the city authorities and the residents of Madison that several memorials and petitions were sent to the Attorney-G«*neral asking that Mills be taken off the case. The clamor and the feeling finally beams so strong that Mr. MeCran removed Mr. Mills and handled the case himself. Young Kluxen was the first person arrested after the body of the Lawrence girl had been found in the woods owned by his father near the Kluxen home. He admitted at the time that he had been In the woods about the time the girl was here, but said he had been chasing a pet rabbit which had escaped and had not seen her. The boy was lodged In Jail at the time, but a few days later Mr. Mills told Justice Parker he had no evidence against young Kluxen and asked that the boy he admitted to bail. This was done.

'RED HERRING' THEORY Detective O'Farrell Thinks Yarn Is Told to Divert Inquiry. ..... ONE ROGERS IS FOUND! Not Identified as the One Sought, and 'Wounded* Man Stays Missing. ________ Sheriff George Werner, boss crime hunter of Westchester county, salcl last night that nothing had developed thus far to support any of the varying stories of the imprisoned witness. James J. Cunningham, as to tne snoo:- ing of Clarence Peters and Bill, or Joe, Jackson by Walter S. Ward. Werner and two assistants, aided by the police of Stamford, spent several hours In the Connecticut city looking for the wounded Jackson, who. If Cunningham Is to be believed, was taken to a hospital or a physician's home in Stamford early in the morning of May 16, and for Charles Rogers, the chauffeur who drove the car. Search of Hospital*. Search of hospitals and Inquiry of physicians not only of Stamford but of other towns disclosed no patient who could be Jackson. A Charles Rogers was found, and he formerly owned a Hudson Super-six, the kind of car In which Cunningham says he and the Rogers of his story hustled the unconscious Jackson across the State line after the shooting, which, Cunningham intimated, took place in the Ward home in New Rochelle. Private detectives who talked to Cunningham in White Plains Jail yesterday were unable to get any new admissions. It was their opinion after the talk that he Is a faker desperately In need of money. He admited he was down and out. The detectives sfcy he rerused to answer many of their questions, hut rdmltted that everything in the afflda- vits he made was hearsay evidence and that beford he signed them he had the words 'hearsay evidence" written on them. Detectives are now toklng for a woman Cunningham was known to travel with. He was in her company freqlcntly at Saratoga last summer. She Is small end very dark and is said to be the wife of a Hoboken man who is now serving a term in the Federal prison at Atlanta. Ga.. for a bank swindle. ThJ Stamford Rogers protested that although he did know a man of the name of Cunningham In N'»w York it was not the Jim Cunningham now in the White Plains Jail and that he had never carried any Bill or Joe Jackson anywhere, sound or injured. As the Stamford Rogers did not match In anyway exo?pt age the description given by Cunningham, the Sheriff, after due meditation, came to the conclusion that they had not got hold of the man they wanted. Questioning of I<ouis Nathale. a Stamford taxi man who has a Hudson Super-six. was equally unproductive. The Sheriff Sams Up. I.ast night Sheriff Warner, at his home in Rye, gave this summary of his labors: "Cunningham, the man who was turned over to us In the McAlpIn Hotel in New York last night and whom w placed In the Westchester county Jail as a material witness, gav> us the information that* Jackson, supposed to be the missing Charley Roes of the War-1 story, was in Stamford, probably In n sanitarium or n physician's house.

Sptcial Di.ipatrh to Tar Niw York Herald. Chicago, June 2..Cyrus H. MeCor- mick, chairman or the Doara or oirec- tors of the International Harvester Company, Issued a statement to-day that his brother, Harold F., had re- tired as president of the company and had been named chairman of a newly created executive committee, and that Alexander Legge, who started with the concern as a salesman, had been elected president. Another announcement was tha: Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick had dropped her legal fight to enjoin the marriage of her daughter Ma- thilde to Max Oser. whom she accuses of being a fortune hunter. The retirement of Mr. McCormick started rumors that he would hasten to Europe to assist at the marriage of Mathllde to Oser or that he would go to Paris to become the husband of Ganna Walska, grand opera singer. Mr. McCormick. however, stated that as head of the executive committee of the Harvester concern he "could give more time to policies and the larger questions which arise" and that he did not contemplate "any diminution" in service to the company. The change had been in contemplation for a year, he said. Chicago, June 2 (Associated Press). .Appointment of Harold F. McCormick as guardian of Mathllde was filed in Probate Court to-day as legal action by Mrs. McCormick to restrain Mr. McCormick from giving his consent to the marriage was dropped. "There will be no more court proceedings." Charles S. Cutting. Mrs. McCormlck's attorney, said. "Does that mean that there Is a family agreement out of court?" he was asked. "You will have to guess." was the reply. Mr. Cutting admitted that Mrs. McCormick had the support of John D. Rockefeller, her father, in her opposition to the marriage "Mrs. McCormick has always been op- posed to this match." he said. "She has always been trying throug:. conferences with Mr. McCormick to offset It in some responsible way. Then the marriage seemed Inevitable so she took the court action. Mr Rnrbefeller's views have been plain concerning such foreign alliances. He lias been quoted frequently in East- f-rn newspapers that none of his wealth would be taken abroad." Asked If he believed Mr. McCormick knew Oaer thoroughly, Mr. Cutting replied "Mr. McCormick is an indulgent father. Me has been used to giving his children anything they desire." There have been several conferences and It was reported that Mrs. Anita McCormick Blaine, widow of Emmons Blaine pnd sister of Mr. McCormick. present at one. Mrs. McCormick's final objection to the marriage. It was reported to-day. was that, under the Swiss law, the wife of a Swiss subject would have practically no rights In her own name.

SENATOR LUSK NAMED He Got $5,000 Personal Check as Fee in Ticker Affair, Says Andrews. LOCK WOOD IS MENTIONED Senator Declined to Help Brokerage Get Back Its Wire Service, He Asserts. Several pages have been torn from the books of E. D. Dier & Co., the defunct brokerage, and are missing. This was brought out yesterday at the con- linuation of the bankruptcy hearing before Seaman Miller, referee, at ? Rector street. Other testimony related to State Senator Clayton R. Lusk, Arthur G. Hays, ittorney for the receiver, drawing from Fred Andrews, cashier for Dier. the statement that Andrews had paid Senator Lusk $5,000 for legal services in connection with the efforts to get back the ticker service for Dier. The lost pages, said witnesses, cn r- ried the statements on securities that Charles A. Stoneham & Co. turned over to Hughes & Dier when the Stoneham firm went out of business. Mr. Hays said after the hearing that the fact that the books had been tampered with certainly did not re- fleet in any way on Mr. Stoneham. Pages Rewritten by Stroh. John L. Dodenhoff, who until a short time before the failure was in chsrge of Dier's bookkeeping department, saw the books and testified that pages from 78 to 81, dated'in April and May of last vear. were missing and aDnarentlv had been torn from the book Page 59 was missing and also pages 65 and 66. With reference to one group of the missing Sheets.the book being of the loose-leaf variety.the witness said he had questioned August Stroh. Andrews's son-in-law, and that Stroh had said he had had them but could not find them when he was told to look for them. Dodenhoff testified that In his judgment, based on his knowledge of the books, the missing pages related to the Stoneham transactions. Stroh, who had been out of the room, was called and testified that the sheets were missing, but could not tell what became of them. He recalled they had been written up In the cashier's department and then that they related to the Stoneham transactions. There had been necessary rewriting on some of the sheets, he said, and he thought Brooks, the accountant, had done the final re- writing, though he had rewritten some of the sheet*. Stroh was ha ay about the reason for the rewriting:, but said the firm constantly was checking: up the securities received from Stoneham and also "securities that Stoneham still owed to the firm." Stroh also testified regarding what Mr. Mays thought was a false entry in one of his books, but which he insisted was not. Andrews Tells of l.ask (heck. Andrews was called next and told of the payment to Senator Lusk by personal check, for which he later was reimbursed out of the Dier funds. Mr. Mays did not go into the matter deeply, but said after the hearing that he presumed the payment to Senator Lusk was for legal services. Andrews at a previous hearing was asked regarding payment of $.",000 by check made to hint by Hughes & Dier in March. 1921. He said he had refreshed his memory since he testified that he was not able to remember what the payment was for. "That was In repayment for a check T gave to some one else." he testified yes- terday. "A check you gave to whom?" "To Senator Lusk." Tho \vlfnps'« anHWfrrH rl<»arlv «t-trl calmly.

NIGHT ASSAULT IN CABIN Theater Manager Declares He Was Kicked Almost Unconscious. Baltimore, June 2..John Burness Symon, member of the wrecking firm of Symon Brothers.

Ci-rvinn a,--ootn.l V>i- n.nartmi>nt of Justice agents, who had been notified by wireless of the attack, when the steamship Columbia from San Francisco docked at this port. After conference with United States District Attorney Carman, Mr. Broadhurst placed the charge against Symon and the arrest was made. At the hearing Mr. Broadhurst described an attack upon him in his stateroom on the night of May 26 that Commissioner Supplee charnfterieed as a "practically murderous assault." Soon after 11 o'clock on the night of the attack. Mr. Broadhurst testified, he retired. Because of a disturbance in the adjoining cabin he went into the hallway. He addressed occupant* ol th; room, saying: "Boys, you've had a nice, long party, and now I suggest that you get to ted and give somebody else a chance." Betlring to his cabin, Mr. Broadhurst said, he climbed into a berth and lay there for five or ten minutes. Suddenly a man whom he recognised as Symon, stripped of clothing, rushed into his cabin, grabbed him and burled him te the floor, his head striking against s trunk. He said Symon hit him several blows in the face and kicked him in the groin. He then oecame seml-eonacious. He is still under a doctor's care, he said.. Under cross-examination Mr. Broadhurst declared that he had twice changed his stateroom because of the noise. Joseph J. Mahoney of San Francisco, a passenger, practically corroborated Mr. Broadhurst's testimony, except that ha as Id Mr. Broadhurst had entered Symon's cabin, where they had been drinking. Symon made no statement. Commlsaloner Supplec in holding him under bond said the character of the attack really constituted felonious attack upon the high seas. Thig charge was not preferred. however. After the hearing Mr. Broadhurst returned to the Columbia to resume his trip to New York.

Judge Klbert H. Gary, chairman nf the board of the United States Steel Corporation, was examined on his company's affairs by Samuel Untermyer before the Uockwood Housing Committee yesterday. Although disagreeing with Mr. Untermver in sev- era! important particulars, Judge Gary admitted that the Steel Corporation enjoyed a preferential of at least $3 a.

Although differing in the effect of/ the corporation's partial control of the steel industry. Judge Gary's examination proceeded without acrimony or even friction. In this respect it was in marked contrast to that of John A. Topping, chairman of the board of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, and A. C. Dinkey, president of the Midvale, who were examined regarding the merger of their companies and the Inland Steel Company, announced Thursday. t'ntermj-er Charges Sapprraalon, Such details of the last named mer ger as were announced on Thursday night were published in The New York Herald yesterday, and trading began in the stock of the new comi pary on the curb market on a when Issued haais. Mr. Untermyer charged Mr. Topping and Mr. Dinkey with deliberate suppressing details of tho merger from the press and the public. He pointed out that the public had not been informed of an agreement by which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. arc to 11 underwrite the new issue of stock of the North American Steel Company, receive a bonus and provide a $20,- A 000.000 fund for trading purposes te M create a market for the new issue. Members of the committee character' ized the proposed merger and lite cir: cumstances of its announcement "'ore of the rawest deals ever put over." Sir. I'nterinyer bluntly Informed Mr. Topping that the committee was outraged at the attitude of himself and Mr. Dinkey with regard to the merger. In the late afternoon Mr. Topping was sum marlly ordered from the witness stand to produce the memorandum of agreement with Kuhn. Loeb g; Co. that would disclose the details of the. pooling arrangement. A short time before a subpoena had been aent to the office of Thomaa L. Chadbourne.

Subsequently, when Mr. Topping w>< sent for the memorandum, word wad received that Mr. Chadbourne and Mr. Topping would appear before the committee to-day. Members of the committee and Mr. Cntermyer regarded as Important Judge Gary's admission that the United States Steel corporation, which manufactures at half Its capacity 4." per cent, of ths country's output, could cut Its prices at least $3 a ton on manufactured products and still make money. Won't Admit Morgan nomination. Judge Gary regarded the control of the steel business by the corporation as a "reasonable" rsther than a benevolent" despotism. He would not admit that the firm of .1 P. Morgan & Co. dominated the affairs of the corporation. although he said that Mr. Morgan. like every other member of the finance committee, was consulted In matters of policy and personnel of the directorate. Neither would Judge Oary agree that a corporation like the United States Steel should be prohibited by Federal statute from owning railroads In the same way that the railways are prohibited from owning mines; nor would hr admit that the Steel Corporation could at Its own pleasure force the Independent companies from the field by doubling Its output to meet Its existing capacity and eliminating Its preferential "Tf we ruthlessly drove the others out of business." he explained, "we would v « precisely in'- e-tuir- puaiuvn n,_. some of the#* other companies ««r« !n that were dissolved by Oovernment :-iv. suits."

The international committee ofbankers, including: J. P. Morgran, whichhas been studying: the prospects foran international loan for Germany,when It meets agraln Wednesday next
hopes to have more definite informationfrom the Reparations Commissionas to the limits its discussionsmay reach and the scope of any recommendationswhich the world bankersdeem essential to the success ofany loan.The adjournment has caused much
concern, besides numerous unfoundedrumors as to the difficulties arising intheir conferences, as well as suggestionsof differences among the bankersthemselves.The Journal des Debats to-night Insiststhat there has been a break over
the intention of the bankers to recommendthe writing down of Germany'sreparation, indebtedness, whichthe French Government, with a
strongly nationalistic Parliament behindIt, declares must remain unchanged.The' New York Heralp correspondenthas been assured that these allegeddifferences have not yet been

The frenzied attempts of SenateFinance Chairman MeCumber to rushthe bonus raid to a vote has not affectedthe position of President Hardingin the slightest degree.Information of direct character came
from the White House to-day that thePresident is not "wabbling" as some'of the bonus Senators hnve attemptedto make it appear.
Several Senators and other personswho talked with the President this afternoonhave the very best reason forknowing he is still opposed to anybonus project that does not carry a
sales tax and that he is further of thebelief that the bonus bill should beabandoned for the time being.
Reiteration of the President's posi-tion did not have the slightest effect,however, on the plans of the Senatorswho attach unwarranted importanceto the political influence of the AmericanLegion officials, which results ofrecent primaries prove to be a glaringfallacy.
Feverish Political Chase.
Mr. McCumber and other Senators,who have worked themselves Into a
high state of excitement over the politicalinfluence of the organizationcreated for non-partisan and purelypatriotic purposes, are going aheadwith their scheme to put through a
bonus bill. They will make their trywith the Fordney-Mondell measure,
which the President has indicated hewjll not accept, but which Mr. McCumberhas adopted in large part as
the basis for the bill whlcn carries hisname.
That measure will be formally reportedto the Senate on Monday withwhat are Intended to be* "solemn ceremonies,"warranted only by a declarationof war or the reestablishment o.'peace through Congressional action.
Officials of the American Legion are
going to make the event a "*olemnceremony." When the movie maehlnerhave been properly placed a ">and andvaliant escort of bonus seekers willescort Mr. McCumber and his bill fromthe Finance Committee room to theSenate Chamber. Movie rights will b.?granted "free gratis" to Mr. McCumberand other bonus Senators for use I"their primary contests in their r*-

Motion Certain of Defeat.
After the "solemn ceremony" hasbeen completed Mr. McCtimber's billwill be before the Senate. He j»doubtedlywill attempt to have It consideredat once either by unanimousconsent or a motion to displace thetariff measure. It Is of Incidental Interestthat the President to-day causedIt to be known that he does not favorthe withdrawal of the tariff fr.r anypurpose, but Is of the opinion thn»Congress should pnsa the meaiurethe present session.Any move made by Mr. McCumber
and his bonus associate to progresstheir bill Is certain to he defeated. Ttla not Improbable that the «jt overthe motion to brinjf up the $5,000,000,000bonus raid will Indicate the actuallineup of ^Senators because quite a

RS UNCERTAINvr OF POWERSain a Clearer InterpretationCommission Regardingranging a Loan.
structions of the Reparations Commissionwere not as clear as some desired,leaving doubts as to the scopeof their deliberations and any eventualsuggestions.
"Naturally," said one banking expertto-day, "the committee, beingcomposed of men of practical bankingexperience, does not wish to makesuggestions for any loan except on a
basis which will protect the lenders.It was this alone which necessitatedan adjournment, and the ReparationsCommission will be able, between nowand next Wednesday, to give a clearerinterpretation of Just what the committee'srole is to be.*"
It was pointed out that the actualdecision to float a loan, as well as thedetails of I.ow it could be distributed,do not fall within the Jurisdiction ofthe bankers themselves, the Governmentsrepresented on the ReparationsCommission and Germany herself havingthe Anal voice In these matters.
It was insisted to-day that the committeethus far has satisfied itself onone point.that international confidencein the future of Europe is possibleonly if the entente of England andFrance is established. As to the sl'/eany loan may attain and the conditionsunder which it will be possible,the bankers have decided to refrainfrom personal expressions until theyknow the attitude the Reparationscommission will take toward theirassuming the "mandate to study" thesituation in the fullest sense of tbeword.

Special Dispatch to Tirr N'rw Toik Hbkaid.Morkistown, X. J., June 2.-»-The
May term of the Morris county GrandJury returned an Indictment to-nightagainst Francis Kluxen. Jr., J 7, charginghim with the murder of JanetteLawrence, 12, in Kluxen's Woods, nearMadison, last October 6. The boy was
arrested and locked up in the Morriscounty jail. He refused to make a
statement.It is expected Justice Parker of the
Supreme Court, who received the indictment,will set a date for the trialsoon, but before he does so he mustappoint a special prosecutor to handlethe case for the State. Thomas McCran,Attorney-General of Xew Jersey,presented the case to the Grand Juryand aided in obtaining most of theevidence on which young Kluxen wa.s
indicted, but last night after the courthad received the indictment he askedto be relieved.Mr. McCran said he did not cars to
be connected with the case any longer,and that he would not have time tohandle It, as he had made arrangementsto go to Europe for the summerand expects to sail within a few days.He also asked that County ProsecutorJohn M. Mills be suspended from anyconnection with the case, and asked thecourt to name a special prosecutor.Prosecutor >1 ills, except for giving the
Attorney-General some assistance Incollecting evidence, has had no connec-tion with the case since Frank Jancarek,a laborer, was tried for the crime andacquitted. Even before the Jancarektrial-the attitude or Mr. Mills was so
displeasing to the city authorities andthe residents of Madison that severalmemorials and petitions were sent tothe Attorney-G«*neral asking that Millsbe taken off the case. The clamor andthe feeling finally beams so strongthat Mr. MeCran removed Mr. Millsand handled the case himself.Young Kluxen was the first person
arrested after the body of the Lawrencegirl had been found in the woods ownedby his father near the Kluxen home.He admitted at the time that he hadbeen In the woods about the time thegirl was here, but said he had beenchasing a pet rabbit which had escapedand had not seen her. The boy waslodged In Jail at the time, but a fewdays later Mr. Mills told Justice Parkerhe had no evidence against youngKluxen and asked that the boy headmitted to bail. This was done.

the police of Stamford, spent severalhours In the Connecticut city lookingfor the wounded Jackson, who. If CunninghamIs to be believed, was takento a hospital or a physician's home inStamford early in the morning ofMay 16, and for Charles Rogers, thechauffeur who drove the car.

physicians not only of Stamford butof other towns disclosed no patientwho could be Jackson. A CharlesRogers was found, and he formerlyowned a Hudson Super-six, the kind ofcar In which Cunningham says he andthe Rogers of his story hustled theunconscious Jackson across the Stateline after the shooting, which, Cunninghamintimated, took place in theWard home in New Rochelle.Private detectives who talked to Cunninghamin White Plains Jail yesterday
were unable to get any new admissions.It was their opinion after the talk thathe Is a faker desperately In need ofmoney. He admited he was down andout. The detectives sfcy he rerused toanswer many of their questions, hutrdmltted that everything in the afflda-vits he made was hearsay evidenceand that beford he signed them he hadthe words 'hearsay evidence" writtenon them.

although he did know a man of thename of Cunningham In N'»w York itwas not the Jim Cunningham now inthe White Plains Jail and that he hadnever carried any Bill or Joe Jacksonanywhere, sound or injured. As theStamford Rogers did not match In anywayexo?pt age the description given byCunningham, the Sheriff, after duemeditation, came to the conclusion thatthey had not got hold of the man theywanted.

tors of the International HarvesterCompany, Issued a statement to-daythat his brother, Harold F., had re-
tired as president of the company andhad been named chairman of a newlycreated executive committee, and thatAlexander Legge, who started withthe concern as a salesman, had beenelected president.Another announcement was tha:
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormickhad dropped her legal fight to enjointhe marriage of her daughter Ma-thilde to Max Oser. whom she accusesof being a fortune hunter.The retirement of Mr. McCormick
started rumors that he would hasten toEurope to assist at the marriage ofMathllde to Oser or that he would go toParis to become the husband of GannaWalska, grand opera singer.
Mr. McCormick. however, stated thatas head of the executive committee ofthe Harvester concern he "could givemore time to policies and the largerquestions which arise" and that he didnot contemplate "any diminution" inservice to the company. The change hadbeen in contemplation for a year, hesaid.

asked."You will have to guess." was the
reply.Mr. Cutting admitted that Mrs. McCormickhad the support of John D.
Rockefeller, her father, in her oppositionto the marriage"Mrs. McCormick has always been op-
posed to this match." he said. "She hasalways been trying throug:. conferenceswith Mr. McCormick to offset It in someresponsible way. Then the marriageseemed Inevitable so she took the courtaction.
Mr Rnrbefeller's views have been
plain concerning such foreign alliances.He lias been quoted frequently in East-f-rn newspapers that none of his wealthwould be taken abroad."
Asked If he believed Mr. McCormickknew Oaer thoroughly, Mr. Cutting replied"Mr. McCormick is an indulgent
father. Me has been used to giving hischildren anything they desire."
There have been several conferencesand It was reported that Mrs. Anita McCormickBlaine, widow of EmmonsBlaine pnd sister of Mr. McCormick.

ried the statements on securities thatCharles A. Stoneham & Co. turnedover to Hughes & Dier when theStoneham firm went out of business.Mr. Hays said after the hearing thatthe fact that the books had beentampered with certainly did not re-
fleet in any way on Mr. Stoneham.
Pages Rewritten by Stroh.John L. Dodenhoff, who until a short
time before the failure was in chsrge ofDier's bookkeeping department, saw thebooks and testified that pages from 78to 81, dated'in April and May of lastvear. were missing and aDnarentlv hadbeen torn from the book Page 59 was
missing and also pages 65 and 66.With reference to one group of the
missing Sheets.the book being of theloose-leaf variety.the witness said hehad questioned August Stroh. Andrews'sson-in-law, and that Stroh had said hehad had them but could not find themwhen he was told to look for them.Dodenhoff testified that In his judgment,based on his knowledge of thebooks, the missing pages related to theStoneham transactions.Stroh, who had been out of the room,
was called and testified that the sheetswere missing, but could not tell whatbecame of them. He recalled they hadbeen written up In the cashier's departmentand then that they related to theStoneham transactions. There had beennecessary rewriting on some of thesheets, he said, and he thought Brooks,the accountant, had done the final re-writing, though he had rewritten someof the sheet*.Stroh was haay about the reason for
the rewriting:, but said the firm constantlywas checking: up the securitiesreceived from Stoneham and also "securitiesthat Stoneham still owed to thefirm." Stroh also testified regardingwhat Mr. Mays thought was a falseentry in one of his books, but which heinsisted was not.
Andrews Tells of l.ask (heck.Andrews was called next and told of
the payment to Senator Lusk by personalcheck, for which he later wasreimbursed out of the Dier funds.Mr. Mays did not go into the matter
deeply, but said after the hearing thathe presumed the payment to SenatorLusk was for legal services.Andrews at a previous hearing was
asked regarding payment of $.",000 bycheck made to hint by Hughes & Dier inMarch. 1921. He said he had refreshedhis memory since he testified that hewas not able to remember what thepayment was for."That was In repayment for a check T

HID MERGER. IT IS SAID
Ron us to Bankers and $20,000.000to Create Market inNew Shares Criticised.
Judge Klbert H. Gary, chairman nfthe board of the United States SteelCorporation, was examined on hiscompany's affairs by Samuel Untermyerbefore the Uockwood HousingCommittee yesterday. Although disagreeingwith Mr. Untermver in sev-
era! important particulars, Judge Garyadmitted that the Steel Corporationenjoyed a preferential of at least $3 a. 'Bton on its manufactured products, as
testified to previously by heads of in- ^Bdependent companies, and that this ^Bmeant additional profits of about 131,- ^B000,000 a year on the present output.Although differing in the effect of/
the corporation's partial control of thesteel industry. Judge Gary's examinationproceeded without acrimony or
even friction. In this respect it was
in marked contrast to that of JohnA. Topping, chairman of the board ofthe Republic Iron and Steel Company,and A. C. Dinkey, president of theMidvale, who were examined regardingthe merger of their companies andthe Inland Steel Company, announcedThursday.t'ntermj-er Charges Sapprraalon,Such details of the last named mer
ger as were announced on Thursdaynight were published in The NewYork Herald yesterday, and tradingbegan in the stock of the new comipary on the curb market on a whenIssued haais. Mr. Untermyer chargedMr. Topping and Mr. Dinkey with deliberatelysuppressing details of thomerger from the press and the public.He pointed out that the public hadnot been informed of an agreementby which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. arc to
11 underwrite the new issue of stock ofthe North American Steel Company,receive a bonus and provide a $20,- A000.000 fund for trading purposes te Mcreate a market for the new issue.Members of the committee character'ized the proposed merger and lite cir:cumstances of its announcement "'ore
of the rawest deals ever put over." Sir.I'nterinyer bluntly Informed Mr. Toppingthat the committee was outragedat the attitude of himself and Mr. Dinkeywith regard to the merger. In thelate afternoon Mr. Topping was sum
marlly ordered from the witness standto produce the memorandum of agreementwith Kuhn. Loeb g; Co. thatwould disclose the details of the. poolingarrangement.A short time before a subpoena had
been aent to the office of Thomaa L.Chadbourne. Jr.. counsel for the threecompanies Involved. Mr. Chadbourr.asent word that he was "too busy" to
appear. Subsequently, when Mr. Toppingw>< sent for the memorandum, wordwad received that Mr. Chadbourne andMr. Topping would appear before thecommittee to-day.Members of the committee and Mr.
Cntermyer regarded as Important JudgeGary's admission that the United StatesSteel corporation, which manufacturesat half Its capacity 4." per cent, of thscountry's output, could cut Its prices atleast $3 a ton on manufactured productsand still make money.
Won't Admit Morgan nomination.
Judge Gary regarded the control ofthe steel business by the corporationas a "reasonable" rsther than a benevolent"despotism. He would not admitthat the firm of .1 P. Morgan & Co.dominated the affairs of the corporation.although he said that Mr. Morgan.like every other member of thefinance committee, was consulted Inmatters of policy and personnel of thedirectorate. Neither would Judge Oaryagree that a corporation like the UnitedStates Steel should be prohibited byFederal statute from owning railroadsIn the same way that the railways are
prohibited from owning mines; norwould hr admit that the Steel Corporationcould at Its own pleasure force theIndependent companies from the fieldby doubling Its output to meet Its existingcapacity and eliminating Its preferential."Tf we ruthlessly drove the others out
of business." he explained, "we wouldv « precisely in'- e-tuir- puaiuvn n,_.

!n that were dissolved by Oovernment:-iv. suits."E>e on l.nss-snlt, *#>« I ntrrmySf."I see." remarked Mr. Untermyer.
