I WILLIAMS DRUNK, TESTIFIESBUTLER Declares Colonel Was Lo- quacious, Staggered, Was & 44 2 Full” and Giggled. | By the Associated Press. MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 13.—Col. Alexander S. Willlams® own version of the catas- trophic cocktail party that brought down upon him the officlal wrath of Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler will be told at today's session of the colonel's court-martial on a charge of appear- ing intoxicated in the public rooms of a Coronado hotel. The prosecution’s case against the suspended commander of the 4th Reg- mlem of Marines culminated late yes in the »pet-mcular testimony rch-enemy of post Volstead drlnklnz. and former leader of the forces of reform in Philadel- phia. From his emplacement in the wit- ness chair the general raked the de- fendant colonel’s conduct as an offi- cer and a gentleman with a volce that echoed through the courtroom in a crescendo of cutting denunciation. Says Colonel Giggled. On the night of March 6 last, averred the one-time chief of Philadel- phia police—on the night that he was a guest of honor in Col. Willlams' Coronado home—this colonel of ma- rines was gullty of the following: He was loquacious, he staggered, he stared vacantly through bloodshot eyes, he was intoxicated, he was drunk, he was “full,” and. last and most horrible to relate of a colonel of marines, he giggled. The concussion of Gen. Butler’s tes timony shattered the composure of what started out to be a rather quiet court-martial. Three witnesses pre- viously had been examined by the prosecution, all of them guests of Col. Willlams on the eventful night, and all of them evidently reluctant to tell the world he had been drinking. Three Are Hesitant. | Capt. Clitton B. Cates, member of Col, Williams' staff and World War hero; Maj. Ross Rowell, commander of the Marine Corps’ aviation unit, and widely known fiyer; Capt. Charles Rice of Gen. Butler's staff—these three admitted hesitantly that Col. Willlams might have been intoxicated; possibly was intoxicated, but that if he actually was “siightly under in- fluence of liquor,” he certainly was “not at all boisterous.” Then strode to the stand Gen. But- ler, and the words he flung were blunt and forcetul. ‘At the dinner to which Col. Williams had invited him as honor guest, he testified, what impressed him and em- barrassed him most was his host’s repeated invitation to have a cocktail. He ate with Maj. Ross Rowell at a table set apart from the other guests | | to emphasize his desire to get through the meal without intoxicants: yet, he asserted, his host insisted on newing his invitation to “have on Williams Came to Hotel. He was convinced, he continued, that the colonel was becoming “full,”’ 80 he went out and sat on the porch. Soon the dinner guests followed him out with the news that dancing at | | the hotel was next on the program. “And then,” said the general, ™I saw Col. Williams stagger out of the house'and across the lawn. I didn’t expect him to turn up at the hotel, for 1 thoflght some one would put him to bed But at the hotel Gen. Butler soon espled his dinner host, “‘poised in a doorway, as if about to fall; his face flushed; his eyes bloodshot. “I looked away,” he went on, “with a feeling that he was intoxicated, and || when he left the hotel I got the im pression he was being carried out.” Defense counsel suggested the colonel might have been walking out. “If 89, shot back the witness, “he 200 QUARTS LIQUOR Through Maryland—Several Oth- er Seizures Reported.

The report, which has been prepared | by a committee of park experts ap- pointed by the Interior Secretary more than a year ago, embodies a bill pro- viding for purchase of park sites in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the Great Smokies area in the Carolinas and Tennessee, and goes at length into the financial aspects of the proposed purchases. The park area whose purchase is to be recom- mended is understood to contain about 520,000 acres. The report is now in the hands of Assistant Secretary Ed- wards. Wite Sues Policeman as Cruel.

Thousands of “best citizens” who encourage violations of the prohibi- tion law that their tastes may be gratified, and prosecuting officlals who weaken their own cause -by open expression of the opinion that the dry statute cannot be enforced, were red this afternoon by Attorney General Sargent, at a luncheon of the Woman's National Conference for Law KEnforcement at the Hotel Wash- ington, Of the former, the Attorney Gen eral asked pointedly: “Upon reflec tion, having called to your attention to what your action really is in pay- ing an outlaw for violating the law of your country in order to furnish you the means of gratifying your desire for drink, don't you think it better to refrain from such bribery in the future?” “Can you afford to endanger your property and your lives by teaching and practicing the doctrine of pur- chasing the commission of crime?"” To the officials, Mr. Sargent as serted: “The law is the will of the body pol- itic, and we are in our places by the will of the body politic, put there to execute that will, and if we go about declaring in speech and in print that the law ought to be changed, so that acts which are offenses will not be offenses. we thereby weaken our causes in the minds of the tribunals before whom we must try them.’ Warns of Punishment. Coupled with theso pronounce {mente was the threat that violators of the dry law would continue o be punished to the full extent of the ! law—punishment, the Attorney Gen eral sald, already was being reflected in the increased number of court cases. The real source of the embarrass- ment to the enforcement. of the law is not that the law interferes with personal liberty, as so many argue, he said, adding that any law which has any effect upon the conduct of the individuals composing society does that—must do that—"but that so many well intentioned persons, thoughtlessly, or following some process of unsound reasoning, join hands with those who intentionally violate the law.” *To you, the women of this country 1 he concluded, “you can, by \om influence and your votes, secure honest officers and the discharge of those who prove to be dishonest. “You can see to it that at no social event in vour charge shall your ta bles be disgraced by the presence of unlawful liquor. “You can, if you will, make the sérving of unlawful liquor at social functions of your acquaintanees so unpopular that it will cease.” Women'’s Power Urged.

The allegiance luncheon was held today immediately after the group of ardent "dry” supporters had been re- ceived by the White lHouse by Pres. ident and Mrs. Coolidge. The visit at the White House wus preceded hy a morning business session. | Must Set Example. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, jr., in a| statement read to the conference this morning asked, “Why not be honee«(I with ourselves and admit that our children will not be the high-minded, fine people that we want and expect them to be unless we—their parents— set them an example of being just and law-abiding citizens.” “Women, in the main unrestricted by enmeshing political compromises and, obligations,” Mrs. Willebrandt de- clared in her address “are best fitted to insist upon noble living as the pur- pose of constitutional government. The storm of talk and argument over the wisdom, the form. the political expediency of the adoption of the elghteenth amendment may obscure for a time, but it cannot permanently hide the fact that what brought the eighteenth amendment was that the great majority of the American people | seek to make government more surely guarantee conditions of civie cleanli- ness and individual uprightness. Prajsing the political power women have wielded to bring about reform legislation, the speaker continued: “More concessions were made to tkis. inchoate ‘opinion of the women’ when thev were first enfranchised in formidable numbers than at present, and the answer is not <be- cause women have changed their desire for these righteous aims of civic life but because they have, in many instances, relaxed in the vigi- lant” assertion of that interest.and have, a< a ron‘!equpn(‘e. lost political influence. “A lawless element grows always as a parasite upon a dead or dor- mant civic body.

If it is, it is bound to be | a breeceding place for deflance of the Constitution and_ridicule of author ity, more silken. but quite as danger ous a rendezvous of so-called | ‘reds Presses Observance Phase. Admonition that the women of the United States give “prime considera tion” to the observance phase of the eighteenth amendment by the pre ponderating majority, as well as its enforcement upon the lawless minor- ity, was voiced by Lincoln C. Andrews, | prohibition director, in a talk last night at the First Congregational | Church before the delegates. *While | we are here particularly considering | the enforcement phase, is it not ciéar | that you women of the country must give prime consideration also to the observance phase? | “You can hasten the day when the hostess will feel apologetic for sery ing cocktails, rather than feel apolo getic for not serving them. You may even bring about such public senti ment that every officer of Govern ment, in all_its branches, sworn to support the Constitution and the laws of his country, will shrink from being | personally a violator of the law.” | Sheppard Wins Applause.

Deming, George R. Wales and Jessie Dell, members of the Civil Service Commission, to show cause by May 12, why they should not be compelled to furnish Dr. Ellery C. Stowell, president of the Better Government Leagne—for- merly the Civil Service League— with a complete list of the tem- porary employes of the Government, and why they should not permit Dr. Stowell to examine the official re ords of the commission, showiis the names of such employes as oi March 24 last. Dr. Stowell had filed a patition in mandamus against the Civil Service commissioners, claiming he has a right to examine the list and the «ommission’s duty to permit such inspection is purely ministerfal and it has no discretion in the matter. Dr. Stowell tells the court that the reason given for the refusal was that the compiling of the list would re- quire the detachment of a number of clerks from their daily duties anc, not having sufficient clerks, such procedure would be detrimental to the efficlent working of the oilice force of the commission.
