A—16 | A GUARDIA CHARGE DENIED BY JONES Senator Hits Back as Result of New Yorker’s Speech in House Saturday. Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washing- ton, ardent dry leader, hit back today at Representative La Guardia of New York, a wet, who on Saturday charged during the House debate that “a great statesman in the other body and one of the foremost champions of prohibi- tion” pulled the Department of Justice off when it was investigating violations of the law by prohibition adminis- trators at Puget Sound. Senator Jones in a letter to La Guardia not only denied the truth of the charge, which was leveled at him- self, but also criticized the New Yorker severely for making the charge. He had his letter to La Guardia inserted in the Congressional Record. It- fol- lows: “My dear sir: “Although you and I hold different opinions regarding prohibition, I have always had great admiration for you and especially because of your pa- triotic conduct in the World War. I have thought vou to be not only a| man of courage but a fair and honor- able man. Holds Attack False. “You are quoted in the press, in the course of debate involving prohibition, | 89 saying: ‘I want to present a situa- tion which exists in the State of Wash- ington, in Puget Sound, where you have administrators of prohibition who are violating or permitting violations of the law they are supposed to en- force, and when the Department of Justice tried to investigate, a great statesman in the other body and one of the foremost champions of prohi- bition pulled the Department of Jus- tice off” I am told by reliable news- Paper men that you stated in conversa- tion that you referred to me. “A cause must be in desperate straits that it need be supported by false per- sonal attacks upon those who may op- Pose it. It reminds me of the method of old saloon days. My sense of humor may differ from yours, but it does seem to me that before making a positive charge against a colleague you would ask him something as to the truth of such a statement. The nice words you use about me evidently were intended to sharpen the false and slanderous shaft with which you sought to pierce my official character. Insists on Full Probe. “I say to you that I have ' never | sought to shield wrongdoing in any one during my public life or otherwise. I say to you most emphatically I have never sought to stop the investigation of any prohibition agent by the De- partment of Justice or by any other department of the Government. On the contrary, I assert most emphatic- ally that I have insisted upon fair, full and complete investigation in every case of this kind that has come to my attention. Any iriformation you have to_the contrary is wholly untrue. “I shall insert this letter in the Con- | gressional Record. This closes this in- cident so far as I am concerned. You | will, of course, take such action as| your sense of honor dictates. “Very respectfully yours, (Signed) “W. L. JONES.” MAN DIES IN GANG FIGHT. ! Battle Between Natives Results in Injury to Several. DURBAN, Union of South Africa, February 10 (#).—Two native gangs fought a battle in the street here early yesterday with sticks and with butcher I hear men saying, all around, “The country’s business is quite sound; the | blow-up on the Stock Exchange some | time ago was sad and strange, and people thought times would be hard, but this great land was scarcely jarred. The big men lined up everywhere to ease our spirits of despair; they said we had no ample cause for rending beards = paws.” Because all men are talking thus, and no one stops to whine or cuss, the country's jogging right along, the mills are busy, banks are strong, the workman has his dinner pail chuck full of terrapin and quail, the housewife has a goodly wad to or- | der garments from abroad, and even | Poets. lean and lank, can put some ko- peks in the bank. And I remember darkened years when every one was shedding tears. In nineteen-seven Iy recall how people leaned against the wall and wept like Rachel wept in woe about two thousand years ago. ‘*‘The country’'s ruined,” people said, “and all our hopes are lying dead. Our bul- warks are knocked cut of plumb, and oh, the worst is yet to come. The banks will bust, the merchants fail, and every one will land in jail, the army worms | will kill the hay, the hens will all refuse | to lay. Stark ruin stares us in the face, and so we seek the wailing place, ‘where we will paw the earth and howl— the present's fierce, the future's foul.” | And since the people talked like that, insisting they were hammered flat, be- fore they'd suffered much of grief, there Wwas no succor or relief. The times were hard, without a doubt, and host of men were counted out because they fumed and pawed the dirt and wept and yelled e're they were hurt. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1930.) BAKER'S ARM MASHED | IN MIXING MACHINERY | Four and a Half Hours of Agony Elapse Before Rescuers Succeed in Freeing Victim. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, February 10.—Carmello Congello, 18, of Brooklyn, was extricated from a dough mixing machine in a Brooklyn bakery after a struggle of four hours ‘and a 'half. Doctors said his right arm would have to be amputated. Left alone in the bakery he some- how placed his right arm in the mixing machine, was pulled into it bodily and his right arm crushed between two steel rollers, normally about half an inch apart. For two hours he was in the machmine before a helper returned, and | for two hours and a half more nine policemen, doctors and helpers worked before he’ was freed. Throughout the ordeal he kept a brave front, police sald. He fainted when he was removed from the machin NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP CLUB DANCES esday, Every Wi "5 %0 1, Boc. ington’s most popular dance ~club. These dances are open to the public.
