Committee
"WAS ASKED TO STAY"
By the Associated Press
Washington, April 7. Daniel Wil
lard, president of the Baltimore and
Ohie Hailwny, before the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee tedny, told
his side of the story of his severance
of connections, by order of William
(t. McAdoo, former Director Cicneral,
with the Tcdcm! Itallread Administra
tion. "The publicity department of the
Administration get its wires crossed
and It wns given out that I was fired,"
said Wlllard, who denied he was dis
missed and snld lie, with ether railroad
executives in the ltoilread Administra
tion, was given thu option of tctain
liii; his railroad or Government posi
tion. "I wns requested te remnln as Fed
eral manager of the Eastern lines of
the Baltimore and Ohie," he said,
'but I elected te retain my connection
with the corporation."
Wlllard said McAdoo's complaint of
nlleiicd inefficient operation of the Bnl-
tlmer and Ohie was made only twenty- "It Is absolutely necessary te cxpe cxpe
ene days aftpr McAdoo became Director dlte mntters In this direction." lie said,

"Further, It wns written six da.is

Willnrd also denied titntemcnts made
te the committee by Frank W. Wnrnc,
en behalf of the railroad brotherhoods,
that the Baltimore and Ohie was in
terested financially in coal-producing
companies along its lines or railroad
supply concerns. The Baltimore and
Ohie disposed of its coal interests four
teen years age. Wlllurd said.
Iteplylng te statements by McAdoo
that the railroads, after being returned
te private operation, had become less
ifficlcnt through abandonment of uni
fied practices instituted during Federal
lontrel. Wlllard cited statistics te show
istenshe use by railroads of joint
facilities.
"The rnllrends are making joint or
common ue of any terminals nnd
facilities) where it can be shown the
arrangement is nn economical one and
net inimical te the best interests of the

BRITISH PREMIER
0FFNR GENOA
Lloyd Geerge Smiling, but Un
able te Cever Careworn
Expression Entirely
WILL STOP OFF AT PARIS
By the Associated Pres
Londen. April 7. Smiling cheer
fully, but tillable entirely te conceal his
enre-wern expression, Prime Minister
Lloyd Geerge hended n party of .twenty,
Including his wife and their daughter,
Megan, which left todey for Genea,
the scene of the International economic
cepference, which opens Mendny.
The continued illness of the Marquis
Curzon, Foreign Secretary, who has
neuritis, has caused postponement of
his departure until next week, but Sir
Laming Worthlnaten-Evnns, Secretary
for War, and Sir Rebert Heme, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, accompanied
the Premier. Others In the party were
Sir Maurice Hnnkey, secretary te the
delegation, nnd Sir Philip Snssoen.
The journey te Paris will be un
broken, and after n few hours' dclny
in the French capital, during which Mr.
Lloyd Geerge will confer with Premier
Peliicare, the party will proceeds di
rect te Ifaty. The remainder of the
British experts nnd secretnrles will
leave Londen tomorrow.
Palis. Anrll 7 (Bv A.IM Extraer
dinary precautions are being taken te
prevent indiscretions by members of the
French delegation nt Genea. Leuis
Bartheu, head of the delegation, has
wnrned his collaborators thnt the first
person who cemmunlcntcs directly with
Paris in reenrd te the tirececdincs of
the conference will be immediately sent,
uui'K in rriuire.
In the furtherance of this policy of
secrecy the presence of wives of the
delegates has been frowned upon, nnd
several experts have been refused pass
ports for their wives, who desire te ac
company them. The only women with
the delegation will be official stenog
raphers. Cabinet Approves Move
The French Cabinet this afternoon
approved the text of Premier Pelncure's
written instructions t the French dele
gation. The instructions were based en
the Government's memorandum of Jan
uary 31, In which discussion of the
reparations question wns declared te
be outside the scope of the conference
program.
Premier Pelneare, en his meeting
with Prime Minister Lloyd Geerge, of
Great Britain, this afternoon as the
latter passes through Paris en Ids way
te Genea, will explain why It was con
sidered Impossible te give the French
delegates at Genea full powers te bind
their Government.
It ls pointed out in official circles
that the allied Premiers in their meet
ing nt Cannes demanded thnt Kussia
send delegates with full powers, be
cause en ether occasions when dele
gates from Moscow engaged in nego
tiations en various questions their nets
were Inter disavowed, and the Pre
miers desired te knew that en the pres
ent occasion they were dealing with
fully qualified lepresentutives.
French Glve Viewpoint
They did net expect that the Husslan
delegates could irrevocably bind their
Government nny mere than could these
of ether countries.
The French viewpoint Is that when
the head of a Government is present
at a conference it is possible te under
take engagements of a mere compre
hensive nature than when a nation ls
represented by miner members, but
that in no ease under n rcpttb'ican
parliamentary regime ls It posslble te
bind a Geernment without the approval
of Its Parliament.
It is leealied by French officials thnt
the United States sent its President
te Paris te negotiate peace, hut that
the American Congress exercised its
right te make the tinnt decision.
Santa Margherlta, Italy, April 7.
(By A. P.) The Russian Soviet dele
gates te the (ienea Conference were

Deputies, llembaccl, Grnziadci anil

GIRL WANTS PROBE
IN CAPTAIN'S DEATH
Fian.cee and Family of Charles
Sheldrake Declare Army
Officer Ne Suicide
HAD ENEMIES AT CAMP KNOX
Demand that the War Department
make nn Inquiry Inte the death by
sheeting of Captain Charles Sheldrake,
formerly of Philadelphia, at Camp
Knox, Kentucky, has been made by the
efBccr'H fiancee, Mlsi Beatrice A. Rob
inson, 3200 Arch street, and his father,
Gcerge E. Sheldrake, 2000 Seuth Sixty
fifth street. They both Insist the dead
officer was murdered.
Immediately after the death of Cap
tain Sheldrake a military court of In
quiry brought In n verdict of suicide.
On the morning of MaVch 11 he was
working en his automobile in the rear
of a mess hall, opposite his home. A
few minutes later he was found lying
dead in a washroom nearby, a bullet
hole through his temple no powder
marks en his hair, and an army pistol
Iyllig some feet away.
It ls declared there would be powder
murks en the face if he hnd shot him
self, that a bullet at such close range
from se powerful a weapon would have
blown the top et Ills head off, and
furthermore, that the bullet took a
peculiar downward course, unusual in
the case of a suicide.
Had Ne Motive
"Circumstantial evidence points te
foul play, net suicide," Bald Miss Rob
inson yesterday. "I knew he didn't
de It. He had no reason In the world
te take his effn life. He had every
thing te live for. He had no financial
difficulties nnd anticipated a very
happy future. We had Intended being
married by September 1. .
"I had been tnlking te him ever the
long-distance telephone before he died,
and .' he was anything but depressed.
The' military authorities say he com
mitted suicide because he wes depressed
en account of his mother's recent death.
That is untrue ; I knew personally that
Captain Sheldrake felt his mother was
being released from nn Incurable ail
ment that caused her unendurable
ngeny."
Sheldrake's fnther and his brothers,
Geerge E., Jr., who ls engaged In the
niitomebllc business nt Thirty-third and
Chestnut streets, and Raymond, assert
that there is something being hidden
by the military authorities. According
te the report of the occurrence sent
out by the military authorities, Captain
Sheldrake died in the hospital at Camn
Knox at 0:15 A. M. The report of the
findings of the Court of Inquiry into
his denth shows that the court met at
0:.10 A. M., fifteen minutes later. Hew
an Inquiry into such n matter could be
se hurriedly conducted nnd closed the
elder Sheldrake says he cannot under
stand. It ls known thnt Captain Sheldrake
hnd incurred the enmity of several of
his suberdinntes by his rigid Insistence
upon the performance of their duty, and
that one of these officers had threat
ened Captain Sheldrake's life repeat
edly. ct a copy et the findings by
the court shows no record that these
men were called before it or questioned.
Ne finger-prints were taken from the
gun, yet Cnptaln Sheldrake's bands still
showed automobile grease en them when
his body arrived at an undertaking es
tablishment here mere than three days
after his death.
The record of Captain Sheldrake wns
of the highest. He wus an honor man
in ills class upon his graduation from
Central High Scheel, and befote the
war had risen te the position of assist
ant secretary of 'Felten, Slglcy & Ce.,
Fourth nnd Cherry streets. In April,
1017. he enlisted in the army, wns sent
te Fert Niagara, where he wen his
commission as a lieutenant in the field
artillery, nnd left for France with the
Forty-second ("Rainbow") Division.
There he distinguished himself In the
French sector, nnd wns sent bnck te
the United States In September, 1018,
ns nn instructor of field nrtlllery at
Camp eKarncy, Cnlifernln.
He remained at Camp Kearney until
March, 1010, when he wns dlschnrged
from the service. He re-entered the
army, nnd in June of the Bitmc year was
sent te Camp Knox, wljcre he became
enmp .ndjutnnt nnd was promoted te a
captaincy.
