WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.
strong declaration was made today
Dy xtepreseniauve Theodore E,
Burton, Republican. Ohio, ft nem
ber of the Allied debt commission
against any cancellations ot the
debts of European nations to the
United States. His. statement to this
street made unanimous the odId
Ion on the question of all Ameri
can delegates to the inter-parlia
mentary union conference at VI
enna, a- number of senators who
with Representative Burton toured
Europe and conferred with, lead
ing statesmen and publicists hav

mitted. Representative Burton Con
ferred with President Harding to
day and after campaigning In
Ohio will return ; here , for the
meeting late this month of the
Allied debt commission with Great
Britain s financial representation.
"There are many reasons why
the Allied debts should . not be
cancelled," ' aald Representative
Burton. "First they are binding
obligations, a national debt and
their -cancellation would throw
doubt on national credit which Is
an all-important part of all com
mercial and industrial relations,
"Second, these . loans were not
made from an abounding .revenue,
but were obtained by borrowings
from our people with no small
difficulty and -with a great, deaf of
sacrifice. There was no thought at
the time that they would not be
repaid and indeed the. law under
which our' people took our bonds
nrovided for their exchange - in
kind."
(Mr. Burton also declared against
anv further national loans abroad,
addlnr that private credits' for
American raw materials might and
should be arranged but that he

and Her Step-Father.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.. Oct.
9. (By The Aaaociated Press.)
Clifford Hayes, 19, was held In
communicado In the Somerset
County Jail tonight on a warrant
charging him with the first degree
murder of - tho Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Relnhardt Mills on September 14.
The explanation of Raymond
Schneider, 22, whose accusation
caused Hayes' arrest, was that It
was a case ' of mistaken identity.
Haves, he said, thought he was
shooting 15 year old Pearl Ball
mer and her atep-Iather, Nichols
Bahmer.
But the only motive he advanced
for the reckless crime was a sort
of quixotism on Hayes part a
desire to right a supposed wrong
done a friend.
Hayes' retort was that' Schen-
elder was a "d - liar."
They heard shots and screams,
he said, while near the Phillips
farm and ran -toward the crab
pple tree whence the shoes had
seemed to come, observing an au
tomobile dash away as they ran.
Beneath the tree, ho declared,
they found the minister and choir
singer dead and he added, Schen
eider bent : down and stole the
minister's watch.
Th! Schneider hotly denied
denied during the4'; long all-nisht
grilling to which both youths were
subjerted and In turn, accused
Haves of having committed the
theft. s , -
Glaring Discrepancy In

One of the most slsring ais-
crenancles 1n Schneider's nory is
his assertion that neither he nr

which ho accuses Hayes. -

Eugene Field, grand children of
the poet, unveiled the statue.
In hla eulogy to the children's
laureate, Mr. Stone said:
"Tuning his lute to humanity's
burden of rare and grief, he sang
the song of the helpless. He waa
notably the poet of sympathy. He
was a many-aided character. He
had a profound religious, even
spiritual nature. The puritan strain
of his ancestry frequently crop-,
tied out -In hla dally life. He had
a secret fondness for Cotton
Mather and Jonathan Kdwajds and
alt the other, sturdy captain of the
church militant. Yet over all there
apread the warm, mellow raya of
human sympathy which prompted
some of the sweetest and moat pa
thetic verse of our language. He
sounded all the deptha of tender
emotion and voiced the agonized
cry of bereaved motherhood and
sisterhood and childhood, with the
tone and timbre and tempo of a
master."
The monument depicts a brood
ing angel bending over two sleep
ing children, dropping the flowers
of poetry upon tlli-m. verses of
"Wynken, Blynken and Nod," and.
the "Sugar Plum Tree," are carved
on the base.

icy had been identical with that
long advocated by the' labor party,
namely,- maintenance ot lha free
dom of the Straits under control
of the League Of Nationa and that
the subject populations in Anatolia
could not be left under control of
the Turks. But h regretted that
this policy became impossible be
cause the United States, Francs
and Italy had declined to under
take, the necessary" mandates in
these regions.
The prime minister argued that
Under the Angora pxct the position
of the Straits would be the same
as It was in 1914, when the Turks
closed the Straits; therefore even
control by the League of Nations
would be useless unless an ade
quate force was planted there by
the League to see that Straits were
kept neutralised. He contended
that the Kemallst government had
not undertaken to . do anything
more than proffer a verbal guar
antee of the freedom of the Straits
and declared:
"You cannot defend the Straits
by flaunting a covenant in the face
of those trying to forne them."
Mr. Lloyd George - pionted out
that refusal to refer the matter to
the League of Nations came from
other nations, not England. Asked
whether .freedom -of the - Straits
meant fortifications in the hands
of some international body the
premier replied that would be for
the League to decide. He also ad
mitted that there should he no In
terference with the Straits with
either by Great Britain or any
other nation. 1
"Otherwise,'' he added, "that Is
not-internatlonallxatlon."
On the general Question the
prime minister reiterated that the
trovernment's mollcy was to pre
vent iu war irom spreading in
to Europe and lie contended that
the strong measures tho govern
ment had already taken and In
tended to continue to take were
the best meana of prevention.
Mr. ' Lloyd Geora-e denlad that
the British government had ever
given either money or arms to the
ureega; on the contrary it had
warned them when they went to
Smyrna that they were going "en
tirely on their own resDonalbilltv
and at their own expense." They
were told also we cannot sup
port you, or take the responsl
billty." .
