As for Evans and George Fowler, Lieut. Davis declared after they testi- fled to the sign frame-up allegation mentioned above that they were tell- ing “deliberate lies.” U. S. Commisgioner George H. Mac- Donald was called to the witness stand early in the afternoon. He de- nied that he had ever suggested placement of a sign over premises that were a private dwelling so that a warrant might be issued without the necessary “buy.” “I want to make my denial most emphatic,” Commissioner Macdonald declared. Prohibitoin Agent Clark H. Pack- ard testified that not more than 1,000 gallons of liquor were taken in the raids on February 17, 1923, when Lieut. Davis is charged with estimat- ing that 2,000 gallons were taken. This is the third specification of the charge, accusig over estima- tion of the amount of liquor seized. Attorney Wampler moved the dismis- sal of this specification with the.one following it, which was greatly sim- ilar, but the trial board announced both would be “passed” until to- morrow, Object to Charge ‘Wampler also objected to specifica- tion seven of charge No. 1, which ac- cused Lieut.

Veleran Recites Poem. Mr. Licyd George was standing upon’ the :spot where President Lin coln delivered his Immortal dedica- |tory speech. Suddenly a silver hair- !ed “man, wearing the blue uniform | that at’once proclaimed him a_vet- jeran of the civil war, elbowed his way to the former premier's side. He was John A. Bodley. Grasping Mr. Lloyd:George firmly by the hand he recited these lines from Rudyard Kipling: § “Let us give one hearty gras; As by trae friends are given, And pledg? fraternal fellowship, oThat nover shall be riven. nd with dur mutual flags unturled, Be fair of foul the weather, If need arise, face all the world And star or fall together.” Smiles of sympathy intended for : what members of the party had firat believed to be the pecullarities of an old man suddenly turned to aston- ished looks of approval. Mr. Lioyd George raised his hat “in homor of that worthy cause.” Turning, then, to the statue that marks the spot i where Lincoln delivered his dedica- tory address, the former British pre- migr said: 7 : “And now I am glad to take off m:; hat again whero the greatest oration the world has ever known was de- Aiverad sl s ecrotary Weeks escorted the visi- tors through the battle feld, and. sir.

In that connection he_said: t may be added that the estab- lishment of sound economic condi- tions in Europe, the serious reduction of military outlays and the demon- stration of a dfsposition of European people to work together to achieve the aims of peace and justice will not fail to have their proper influence upon American thought and purpose {in_connection with such adjustments. i, Since the stated purpose of creat- ing the expert commission as_ given Iin the published international corre- spondence 18 to recommend a finan- cial plan for settlement of the repa- rations problem on its merits, it has been generally assumed that a repre- sentative American financier would be included in whatever group of Americans may be named to the ad- yisory commission. If administra- tion officials are already considering the naries of Amerian financiers in that connection, however, they have been careful not to disclose the fact. It was again strongly emphasized, however, that, whoever might be named and whatever the method of their actual appointment, they would represent the judgment of the Wash- ington administration as the Amer- rived over Lakehurst at 10:30 o'clock | tonight from her Navy day flight over the Shenandoah valley of Vir- ginia.
