THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1929, ATTORNEYS CLASH INPANTAGES TRIAL Prosecution Witnesses De- clare Wife of Theater Mag- nate Was Drunk. Ly the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 12— Four persons, two of them described as able to give surprise testimony, today 1emained on the list of prosecution witnesses in the trial of Mrs. Alexander Pantages on charges of second-degree murder, growing out of the death of Juro Rokumoto after an accident in- volving Mrs. Pantages’ car. The prosecution indicated it would complete its case before tomorrow. De- fense attorneys indicated they might be able to present their side of the case o Veroal clash verbal cl among the attorneys, which required intervention of Superior Judge Carlos Hardy, enlivened the pro- ceedings yesterday. Attorney W. 1. Gilbert, for the de- fense, protested that the prosecution was not acting in good faith in placing police officers and other persons on the stand to testify that Mrs. Pantages was intoxicated at the time her limousine crashed into a small car driven by Rokumoto. Gilbert jumped to his feet after four policemen and two_eye-witnesses had testified as to Mrs. Pantages’ condition and shouted, “If the State is acting in good faith, why don't they bring in Ehyllclnns and surgeons who treated (her to testify concerning her condi- tion?” Gilbert Stands by Guns. ‘When Gilbert’s remarks were termed an “insinuation” by prosecution coun- sel the _silver-haired attorney de- clared: “It is not an insinuation. I make the bold statement I do not be- lieve you intend to bring in any phy- siclan or surgeon who can testify she was drunk.” Prosecution attorneys then indicated they later would call expert witnesses t}) testify as to Mrs. Pantages’ condi- tion. Court _intervention here checked fur- ther bickering between the counsel. ‘The testimony which resulted in the exchanges started S. Clarke testified Mrs. Pantages’ eyes “were droopy, half closed and rather glassy” immediately after the accident, and that in her opinion the woman was intoxicated. Police Officer Thomas M. Malone testified that Mrs. Pantages “knocked my hat off twice while I was trying to place her in an ambulance. I would say she was drunk.” Patrolman William K. Dutton, Lowell B. Pearson and James Cavanaugh, who were at the scene of the wreck, each testified Mrs. Pantages was intoxicated. Ralph Kenyon, a chauffeur, told of observing indications of the woman be- ing intoxicated, but admitted under when Mrs. Dorothy | 1 e o, ek rebn. e smel uor on P The legal troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Pantages. mounted yesterday with the filing of a suit against them by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Rallroad for $15,150, all that amount due for transportation of vaudeville actors. The Pantages Vaude- ville Circuit and the Pantages Theater Co., also were named as defendants. Pantages is to go on trial here Sep- tember 23, on two statutory charges brought by Eunice Pringle, 17-year-old dancer, who alleged the theater man attacked her in his office. & few weeks ago. Nancy Lee, 25, a sculptress, and her half-sister, Janice Hill, 19, who recently were héld in connection with an al- leged plot to influence the testimony of State’s witnesses against Pantages, were ordered yesterday to prepare for trial on accusations of liquor. Part of a bottle of liquor alleged to have been in the possession of the half- sisters at the time they were arrested was seized by the police. WOULD ADD TO PROGRAM IN FLOOD PREVENTION Forestation Suggested as Helpful Method of Protection in the Mississippi Valley. A short time ago there was outlined the direct physical méans which are to be used in the flood prevention plan for the Mississippl. It is suggested by the Forest Service that the ultimate Mississippl plan should include a pro- gra mof forestation. It is estimated that the present forests, in their mis- managed conditions, are res ible for the reduction of 15 inches the pos- sible flood crest. That forests have re- markable water storage capacity is ad- mitted. That they are invaluable in the prevention of soil erosion, a flood factor, is likewise evident. On ‘either of these grounds it is ob- vious that forestation should be given careful consideration in the program. Every advantage should be taken of any assistance, that Nature can give. ‘When it is considered, too, that such a forest would pay its way through the sale of forest products, the argument in favor of such a plan seems conclusive. The land to be utilized is described as submarginal waste land, of which it appears thét there are in the neighbor- hood of 6,000,000 acres. If all the for- ests of the Mississippi drainage area were under proper control, it is esti- mated, the maximum possible flood crest would be reduced 55 inches. This 'Dlélfl be equivalent to 46,000,000 acre- eet SEEK SMOKE ABATEMENT. In October there will be held in Phil- adelphia the third national fuels meet- ing of the fuels division of the Ameri- can Soclety of Mechanical Engineers. It is encouraging to note that smoke abatement has an important place on the program. Of 26 papers classified as general, power plant, industrial, domes- tic and smoke abatement, 6 papers are on smoke abatement, including a sym- posium. ‘The papers even deal with such meas- urements, usually outside the engi- neering fleld, as the absorption of ultra- violet light. It is evident that engi- neers are aware of the public sentiment which has been aroused in the last year or so against this health hazard, No longer is & smoke stack regarded as a sign of Industry and prosperity; no' A Special Group of Regular $5 & $6 longer are cities proud of their most conspicuous offendeys in this regard. | Air pollution is now regarded by intel-| ligent communities as a health hazard, | a property destroyer.
