He added that he would offer bills today to wipe out the ex- ceptions, and that if he could get enough “help in Congress I will try to put them through.” Reed Contradicts Shields. Senator Shields characterized the measure with its exemptions from the Senate quota as a “legislative abor- tion” and brought a sharp reply from Senator Reed, who declared that most f the things Senator Shields com- Jained of were measure.

Replying to Senator Harrison, Sen- ator Harris, Democrat, Georgia, said | he had no apologies to make for his wnrk in the conference, adding that he believed there had been evolved a measure which “meets the approval of the country.” Shipstead Leads Fight, Senator Shipstead took the lead in the fight against the seamen's pro- visions, and was joined by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, also one of the | cenferees.

Special Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md. May 16—The publio service commission today is- sued an order denying the petition of the Washington and Rockville Railway Company to substitute a bus system on the Silver Spring end of its line. At the same time the com- mission granted permission for the use of one-man safety cars on the line provided the tracks are lowered at Silver Spring to eliminate the grade crossing. This means that the railroad will have to pay the $17.500 demanded by the state roads commission as its share of the expense of the elim- ination_of the grade crossing at Silver Spring. The company notified the commission it was willing to pay $12500 as a fair proportion of the cost, but felt it should not be t the ‘extra $5,000. = The public Asked Abeut Prison Dope. “What do you know about dope down there?’ Senator Wheeler asked. “I've been there three and half months and haven’'t seen an ounce of any narcotic drug,” Remus said. He agreed he “had been in the liquor business for four years® at Cincinnati. “I owned seven distilleries prior he said. “but they were all seized, confiscated or scattered.” He named the plants In Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. He got into liquor business just after the Volstead act was passed in 1919, he said. “I was practicing law in Chicago then.” he remarked, “and bought the distilleries_after the law. Senator Wheeler asked him to de- scribe his plan of operation. “I organized drug companies, whole- sale and retail, and sought permits to withdraw the liquor under the law,” he said, “for_sale through the drug companies. I paid from $25,000 to $300,000 for the distilleries. ‘The Fleishmann plant at Cincinnati, for instance, cost me $185,000. “I_paid $125,000 for the Rugby dis- tillery, in Ohio, and $225,000 for the old Lexington Club, in Kentucky. Medicinal Sales Farce, “Ot course, the liquor sales for medicinal purposes is a farce. There's hardly an ounce of liquor prescribed for medicine legitimately. I've never had a drop of whisky in my life.” ‘The witness said he was Introduced to Smith in 1921, in New York City. “What was the occasion of your meeting Smith?’ asked Semator ‘Wheeler, the committee prosecutor. Discassed Permits. “From the viewpoint of obtalning withdrawals of liquor from bonded warehouses for my drug companies,” Remus repiled, “it is my remembrance it was at the Commodore Hotel. Wa discussed with him the permits for withdrawals for the Alps Drug Com- pany, the Central Drug Company of New York and others” The “demard for liquor was greater than the supply,” Remus went on. E. M. Zoline, a law partner of Thomas Felder, was co 1 for Remus and brought Smith and the liquor man to- gether.

Follows Scaife on Stand. Remus waited in the committee room while the committee completed its examination of H. L. Scaife, for- mer_investigator for the Department of Justice. George E. Chamberlain, attorney for former Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty, sought to show by questioning that Scaife's operations had been unlawful, but was over- ruled by Chairman Brookhart and Senator Wheeler, the committee pros- ecutor, when he sought to put in some legal rulings on the subject. Sena- tor Jones, Republican, Washington, then announced that, being outvoted, he would read the matter in himself.
