WASHINGTON, D. ¢ |AARON BRYLAWSK Theater Man Dead DIES AT AGE OF T8 {“Uncle B,” General Manager of Cosmos Theater Co., Aggressive Attitude. An aroused public opinion in the Capital to force its police heads to quiet their side-stepping, dodging and dally- ! ing tactics and assume an aggressive | attitude toward crime and the admin- | istration of the laws of the Distri was called for by the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce. pastor of First Congregational Church, in his morning sermon yester- r. Plerce called upon the press of the city to give the public the facts as to: H “Reported existence in the Capital | of liquor, dope and gambling rings. “Why, ‘as recommended by the grand fury investigating the McPherson- casc, Inspector Shelby and Lieut. Kelly have not_been suspended. “Why, if it is true as reported, there are delays in trials of eriminals in the courts of the city “If it is true that any police private who_ shows initiative beyond certain points renders himself liable to suspen- sion or dismissal.” ot Doing Best Work.” Commissioner Proctor L. Doughert: in charge of the Police and Fire D paruments, and Maj. Henry ‘G. Pri superintendent of police, are not doing | their best work because they are “on | the defensive and they ougit not to! be.” Dr. Pierce declared. ! His sermon follows, in part: | “There are three essentials ! | | | for a, splendid police force—good men, good leaderships and the support of the best people. As I have met them, it seems 1o me we have noble men as officers of our police force. Over them all are the Commissicner and the superintendent of police. These two are the men who in the last analysis are accountable and responsible for our police situation. “Both are strong, capable men. Yet we are confronted with the situation that those men are on the defensive, and they ought not to be. Men on the defensive do not do their best work. What we need is such an aroused pub- lic opinion that those men will not side- step, will not dodge. will not dally, but will do their job as it is not being done today. “In the third place, religion believes in the truth, and it is essential to tell the truth. That is where the public press comes in. God give us reporters and editors in this city who have vision and courage to tell the truth, the whole truth, the unshaded truth, and nothing but the truth—for what we want is the unvarnished facts. Is it true that this city has a liquor ring, a dope ring, & gambling ring? It seems to be true. We should like the press to be able to give us the facts. Is it true that there are delays in trial; that the police can make raids and arrests, the prisoners then being bonded, and year in and out they carry on their business without coming to trial? It seems to be true. We ought to know the facts and what lies behind them. Action Needed for Good of City. “Is it true that any private who shows initiative beyond certain points renders himself liable to suspension or dismissal? Privates are not always wise—sometimes they talk too much, But it is a poor spectacle at a time of need, such as we now face, when vigorous action is needed for the good of the whole city, to substitute for it action against any private, “Is it true that the grand jury rec- ommended that two officers be sus- pended for their inefficlency and for the bungling way in which they han- dled their work in a recent important case If it is true, then we have a right to know why they have not been suspended, but have only been trans- Te 1o some other branch of the department. “There is a fourth and last point. If religion teaches anything, it teaches obedience to law and utter sincerity on the part of our citizens. And thers is no more demoralizing agency work than the publicly known spect: cle of men in public and private life, on official duty, in all ranks, openly defying the law. When our police raid & place of liquor and find there officers of the Government and word seeps through, however true or false, that | Secretary this or Secretary that, ar| Senator Somebody says to lay off that | case, I tell you that is the time for Christian people to say not lay off, but ‘lay on!" It is time for every man who is a Christian, and Jew who 1s & son of God, and every American who believes he loves his country, to stand up and act like a man and b sincere.” SHIP OFFICER HELD IN KRAFT MYSTERY | By the Associated Press.

A preliminary investigation of the complaint of Mrs. Roy Heavrin of the Park Lane Apartment and one of the principal witnesses in the McPherson | case falled to support the charge that she had been persecuted by the pollcc‘ since she testified before the grand jury, it was announced today by Maj.

With the bribery trial of Albert B. Fall entering its final stages, former Senator Atlee Pomerene, a special Gov- ernment _counsel, in opening the final arguments today, told the jury that, re- gardless of the fact whether the $100,000 accepted by the former Secretary of the ward L. Doheny. “the criminality of the transaction is unnuestioned.” It was apparent today that unless the final arguments are shortened, the case, which is now entering its thirtcenth day. may not be turned over to the jury until Wednesday. More than an hour was consumed by attorneys in a conference with Justice William Hitz before court con- vened at 11 o'clock over the prayers. The principal contention arising over one of the defense stipulations that the Government must show “intent to do | something for Doheny's b-fiefit was in Fall's mind before November 30, 1921, the day he received the money from the oil man.

In addition, she declared she had noted a distinct ‘change in the attitude of the arresting officers. | Lieut. Groves pointed out that in each | instance Mrs. Heavrin was ‘ready to! admit” that she was technically guilty | of a traffic violation. No mention was made in the report, however, of state- | ments the woman made to a newspaper man that she had been shadowed by detectives and harassed by strangers | lojtering_around her apartment since she testified before the grand jury. Specific Instances Cited. ‘The complaints of Mrs. Heavrin r¢ ferred to in the Groves report were that while.en route to the detective bureau for an interview she was stopped and given a ticket for driving with one head- light, that while appearing before the grand jury her car was “ticketed” near | the courthouse, and again last Friday | there was a ticket on the car for im- proper parking on Twenty-first street near the Western Market.

More than that, Pomerene declared that as early as July 8, 1921, the oil man was being kept informed as to | what Fall was doing or was going to do | with regard to the Navy's oil reserve. | He quoted from correspondence in which Secretary Fall told the oll man that he was going to handle the oil matters himself, and would consult with Secre- | tary Edwin Denby of the Navy only with regard to matters of poilcy. “I think we go along." Pomerene | told the jury, “we shall understand his reasons for that.” “A Wise Old Man.” Several times during his address to the jury the Government attorney re- ferred to Doheny as “a wise old man.” He particularly stressed the fact that Doheny “had biurted out before the | Senate committee ‘that his Pan-Ameri- | can Co. expected to make the profits of | $100,000,000 out of the Government oil | deal.’ " 1 “That wise old man never blurted out | anything without being certain as to/ what he was saying,” Pomerene de- clared. The Government attorney’'s opening | remarks were directed in an effort to ence between Fall and Doheny before the alleged bribe transaction clearly showed their close relations ‘They had “talked about confidential men working out the methods of the negotiations,” Pomerene declared, and . even before the acceptance of the al- leged bribe, he claimed Doheny had in- formed Secretary Fall that if his com- pany undertook the work at Pearl Har- bor, it must have additional lesses in | the Elk Hills reserves. “Only a Drgp in the Bucket.” Doheny's offer of $100,000 to the | Government official may have meant “only a drop in the bucket” for the ofl man, Pomerene stated, “but it meant much to Fall.

Mr. Pomcrene went fully into the question raised by other ofl concerns as |10 the legality of the project proposed |to them and_the Pan-American Co., | and stressed also the fact that Fall was informed by his subordinate, H.

The copy of a gflegram said by Cooley to have been sent out by Brice to fish dealers and retailers on August 14, last was »ead into the record by | Senator Walsh. The substance of the telegram was a request to the dealers | and retallers to get as many as pos- | sible to join them in “the interest of thefuture of the fish industry” to send telegrams to Chairman Smoot of the Sénate finance committee, and “strong- | ly urge a reduction of duty on fish in the interest of the consumer.” The telegram asked the dealers and retail- ers to find out where their Senators were and send them telegrams advising them of the telegrams sent to Smoot. The telegram added that the Atlantic Coast, Fisheries Corporation would bear the expense of the telegrams. Cooley gave the committee an ex- tended description of the fish industry. He said the Massachusetts PFisheries Association represented about 95 per cent of the industry in New England | and that it was organized ahout two vears ago to promote the inferests of the industry. The tariff on fish dates only from the 1922 tariff bill. Cooley, asserting that development of the in- dustry had been brought about only as a result of that tariff, sald he could not understand how anybody interested in the industry could plead for a iower rate. He learned of the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Corporation’s opposition to the present rate with considerable sur- prise, he said, and later learned of that company’s Canadian interests. Eyanson's Work Related. Cooley himself was present at the House committee hearings on the fish schedule, and on one occasion appealed to the Tariff Commissiion for informa- tion relating to the imports and con- sumption of fish. He was told by & commission expert, he said, that facts could be assembled to support “both sides” of the argument. After the bill House, Cooley testified, he learned that the Tariff Commission ex- pert to whom he had been referred | had left the commission and was in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Fish- eries Corporation. The committee called Mr. Hubbard primarily to inquire into a letter he wrote his assistant, Eyanson, on July 19, last, while the latter was in the em- ploy of Senator Hiram W. Bingham of Connecticut as an aid on tariff matters. Hubbard, in his letter, asked Eyanson to “prepare the way" for him with Senator Bingham regarding Eyanson's “tenure of office,” and expressed the opinion: “You have done a great deal more than we bargained for in the be- ginning. Eyanson was to serve Senator Bing- ham without interference or suggestions from the association. He told the committee that the as- sociation contemplated paying Eyan- son his salary and expenses while in Washington. Hubbard defended the transaction by explaining that Eyanson was sent nere at Senator Bingham's request for “the loan” of a tariff expert. He understood that Bingham did not ask for Eyanson | | specitically, but he told the committee ! hs had supposed that it was contem- plated that an employe of the associa- tion would be furnished. Hubbard, a large man with soft voice, was asked by Senator Walsh to explain what he meant in writing to Eyarson that he had done a great deal more “than bargained for in the beginning.” Hubbard said that Eyanson had co- operated with Bingham in furnishing | information about &ll of Connecticut's industries and interests and that he had been of a great deal more service than he had thought for. When he wrote in his letter that in his opinion Eyanson's services had been “far- reaching and will bear fruit for some time to come.” he told the committee his only thought was that Eyanson had demonstrated to the manufacturers the | value of service the association could render in an advisory capacity. The information he got from time to time about what Eyanson had done came entirely from returning manufacturers | who had appeared before the House ways and means committee, he said. Eyanson’s “Mind Closed.” Mr. Cooley told the committee that he had been introduced to Eyanson as a “powerful man with Bingham.” Cooley said he went to Senator Ting- ham'’s office to give him information regarding the fish industry, that Bingham had been misinformed. “I was turned over to Eyanson,” said Mr. Cooley, adding that he thought it impossible to see Senator Bingham. “I could make no headway with him. His mind was closed.” ‘The witness said Eyanson had told mony before the committee and had de- cided that the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Corporation was correct. | “I said that the fishing industry ' would be forced to feel that Senater | Bingham was against it in favor of the Atlantic Fisheries Corporation,” nldi Mr. Cooley. ‘The witness said he later started an investigation to learn who Eyanson was | and that up to that time he had thought Evanson was a tariff expert hired by | Senator Bingham. “I found out about two weeks before it came out in Congress what Eyanson's | connection was,” Cooley said. Robert C. Buell, treasurer of the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Association, testified as to expenditures of the asso- clation. Buell had recommended, at the time Senator Bingham asked for assistance from the manufacturers’ as- sociation in framing the tariff bill, that the assoclation set aside not to exceed | $5,000 for this purpose. He told the | committee such expenditure had nm! been necessary because Mr. Eyanson | had been sent to Washington and drew | only his regular salary. Senator Caraway wanted to know what “legitimate use” $5,000 could have been put to in this connection. ‘The witness said that the hiring of experts was a costly matter, Senator Caraway complained that the witness was arguing with him and also that other witnesses from the Con- necticut Manufacturers’ Association had followed the same practice. “Do you have a regular debatin society connected with your associ: n>" said Senator Caraway sarcas- ally. Eyanson was again on the stand when !h; lobby committee opened its session today. Senator Walsh of Montaza showea witnesses what was purported to be a photastatic copy of & memorandum pre- pared by J. E. Winchet for Mr. Eyan- son. Dated August 30, 1929, it saia: “Subject: Information from Senator Bingham, “To Mr. Eyanson. “From Mr. Winchet. “In telephone conversation with Mr. Henderson of Crescent Firearms Co. and Mr. Warner of Davis & Warner Arms Co., both of Norwich, in reply to an inquiry requested by Mr. Hender- son, I informed these gentlemen that Senator Bingham met with very strong opposition to the 10 per cent duty on rough-bored shotgun barrels from the Savage Co. et al. and th: influential members of the Senate finance commit- tee, Senator Smoot, chairman; Reed | and Edge, and that Senator Bingl considered it a- decisive victory to have held the duty where it now stands in the House bill, at 10-per cent, in spite of a very strong !fl{! to raise it to 30 per cent.” Mr. Winchet, it developed, was an | MOXNDAY, OCTOBER 21, believing | 1929. assistant to Mr. Eyanson in the Manu- acturers’ Association. Eyanson testified that he did not re- call receivin; ‘his memorandum. These memoranda, he said, in the office of the Manufacturers' Association usually are on pink paper. “As a matter of fact didn't you hand a number of such slips to Senator Bingham the hearings before the Senate ice committee,” asked Senator 3 T said that he did not, but handed him notes written Daper which is supplied for the the Senators. ¥ 'Secret Meetings Not “Broadeast.” Mr. Evanson called attention to the fact that the rates contained in the tariff bill, as drafted by the Senate finance committee, were made public on August 19. Senator Walsh suggested that this| memorandum referred to debates which were carried on in the secret sessions of the finance committee. Eyanson said that he did not remembe: debate over the 10 per cent duty on shotgun bar- rels, referred to in the memorandum.

Senator Blaine of Wisconsin asked the witness about a joint brief filed on behalf of the American lace manufac- turers, which was presented to the House ways and means committee on behalf of a long list of manufacturers, including the Pennsylvania Manufac- turers' Association, headed by Joseph R. Grundy and a member of the Con- necticut Manufacturers’ Association. Eyanson said he had never seen the brief and knew nothing about it. Senator Blaine questioned Eyanson at length about long-distance telephone calls, while Eyanson was serving as an assistant to Senator Bingham. Eyanson said that he had answered many tele- phone calls coming through Senator Bingham's office. “Don't you recall a very important telephone call sometime between July 23 and 27 in regard to the work of the | committee? asked Senator Blaine. “1 sincerely wish I could inform yoi sald the witness, “but I have no recol- lection of it.” Hubbard Follows' Eyansen. Evansen said in reply to questions whether these telephone calls had been to get information about the progress of the work on the tariff bill: “If they were they were not answered. Senator Bingham's office leaned over backwards rot to give out information about what was being done with the tariff bill.” E. Kent Hubbard. president of the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, followed Eyansoni on the'stand. Senator Caraway, chhirman of the ic- | vestigating committee, questioned him | about his business experiences and | about the membership and purposes of i the kmnnur-cturen‘ association and its | work. | The witness testified that the income of the Conxecticut Manufacturers' As- sociation last year was between $98,000 and $100,000. He said that this income sometimes lower, depending on | business conditions. Two of the largest contributers to the income of the as- sociation, he said, were the New Yorx, New Hoven & Hartford Rallroad Co. and the Scoville Manufacturing Co.

The crowded committee room laughed Senator Walsh murmured something. and Senator Caraway interposed the | observation that it was a ‘“distinction without a difference.” Senator Walsh sought to learn from Hubbard what connection Roraback had with any discussion of Senator Bingham obtaining the loan of an employe of the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Association. | Hubbard insisted that, so far as he knew, Roraback knew nothing about it. It was his impression, he said, that Senator Bingham had spent the night with Roraback the night before his meeting with Hubbard and that Rora- back’s office was designated as s meet- ing place merely as a convenience to ihe Senator. The meeting took place in the Republican leader’s office, but Hubbard said that Roraback himself was not present, though he greeted Hub- bard on his appearance. Eyanson was not present at the meeting, Hubbard sald. He and Senator Bingham dis- cussed at that time the matter of the Senator obtaining some assistance with reference to tariff matters. Senator Walsh pointed out that the reference Senator Bingham made to Roraback was made several days before he reached Hartford and that the sug- gestion that the meeting take place in Roraback’s office was far from obvious. ‘The Senator dwelt on a description of Hubbard's offices and wondered why Bingham should not call on him there, where he had spacious rooms, plenty of chairs and other conveniences. Hub- bard insisted that there was no pre-ar- rangement so far as he could recall, but that it might have been that he learned of Bingham's presence in Roraback's office through a member of his own staff on the day of the meeting. Senator Walsh observed on the “re- markable manner” in which Senator Bingham conveyed to Hubbard where they would meet. Senator Blaine brought out that Bingham and Hubbard had talked for about 15 minutes in Roraback’s office privately, and that Hubbard had then returned to his own office. Connection between the reference to Roraback and Hubbard's letter to Eyanson in July in which he said, “You have done a great deal more than we bargained for,” was sought by Senator Robinson.

Gambling is proving so attractive for crowds at holiday resorts in Belgium that the south coast is reported to be busier than in many seasons. At Os- tend the gambling turnover at the Ca- sino has been huge, and roulette, which is banned in France, is the favorite game. The crowds are so large that it is difficult to get near the tables. Ed- mund Sayag, the 33-year-old proprietor of the Casino as well as of the Moulin Rouge and the Ambassador Restaurant in Paris, is to build a “super” hotel at Ostend. Hardelot, also on the Belgian coast, is to have a casino, a large hotel and a number of bungalows.

By the Assoclated Press. DUSHAMBEY, Tadjikistan, U. S. S. R.. October 21.—For the first time in long centuries nearly 1,000,000 Tadjiks, aborigines of Central Asia, are to have an independent republic under the aegis of the Soviet union, which hereafter will consist of seven allied republics in stead of six. ¢ Described as the heart of the East, the Tadjik autonomous republic, which heretofore has been part of the Uzbe- kistan Soviet Socialist Republic. decided through its congress of Soviets, or Parliament, that it ought to enjoy the same status as other members of the Soviet family. These are the Russian Federation. Ukrainia, White Russia. the Transcancasian Federation, Turkmen- istan and Uzbekistan. For hundreds of years the Tadjiks, whose mountainous country borders Afghanistan to the south and China to the east, were under the domination of the Bukharian emirs and were in a con- tinuous state of turmoil until 1926, when the teritory ' was incorporated Uzbekistan. Tadjikistan is about the size of the State of Colorado. ‘The customs of ‘h'“rop‘l’l“w- which is largely Mohammedan, were partly triarchal and partly feudal. The d of former l':;dlordl has been dis-
