PRIMARY SAYS POLICE INTERFERRED IN DRY RAIDS William Whitney Claims Many Loads of Liquor Got Through DEFENDANT ASKED WHY HE LEFT OHIO Says He Followed Greeley's Advice—Jones’s Sup- port Brought Up SEATTLE, Sept. 10. — William Whitney, former Assistant Prohibi- tion Administrator in the Pacific Northwest, and defendant with Lyle, Corwin and Fryant in the present conspiracy trial, on cross examination said interference by the Seattle police prevented the capture of many loads of liquor landed on the Seattle waterfront. “We would go down to the water- front on tips. The police prowler cars would come around and the officers would talk to us, then cir- cle round,” Whitney testified. His ire was aroused when he was asked why he had to leave Ohio soon after admitted to the bar. Whitney explained he took Greeley's advice and “came west.” | Asked if at one time A. L. Hub- bard had come to him early in 1925 and offered to turn in Olm- sted’s gang, Whitney said, “It's a lie and you know it is a lie.” Whitney has previously testified the offer was not made until thel fall of that year. Hubbard had | said it was in either February or March of that year. Whitney was asked: that the real reason you tied up Senator Wesley L. Jones on the ap- pointment of Hubbard was so if anything happened to you, you would have his political and moral | support behind you?” Whitney answered that is was not true. .

K. Bur- lew ,Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of Interior and Budget ‘Ofllcer for that Department. After a trip to Fairbanks and vi- | cinity with Mrs. Ray Lyman Wil- bur and Ray, jr., son of Secretary Wilbur, he and his son, John, re- turned here yesterday to spend a |week with Gov. George A.

Eighteen months ago he was ap- pointed departmental Budget Offi- cer, handling all matters before the Bureau of Budget for the en- tire Department, this naturally bringing Alaska items under his care. Need for Consolidation The Department, Mr. Burlew add- ed, has long recognized the need for centering its work in the Territory under one head, and bringing it as closely home to Alaska as possible. “With the Governor as Commis- sioner for the Department, we want to centralize everything possible right here under his supervision and direction, and my present trip is mainly to see how and to what ex- tent this can be accomplished,” he said. “That, and to promote co- operation, between the three resi- dent Commissioners, the other two, Charles H. Flory and Dennis Winn, representing the Departments Agriculture and Commerce.” The consummation of ‘his gram, he pointed oui, under all cir- cumstances will be slow. It cannot be done with one sweep of the pen but must come about step by step. “But we are making some progress and already certain definite re- sults have been achieved,” he add- ed.
