The quartet said Harker's face was swollen and his eyes were red and bloodshot when the questioning was started. -They said the prisoner ap- peared to be recovering from a drunk.” The defense introduced in evidence & plece of rubbar hose, which the de- fendants identified as one seen about the station house on various occasions, but which they asserted was not uséd on Harker. The hose, it was testified, was used by the janitor to flush drains. It was with this hose, the Govern- ment charged, that Mostyn whipped Harker after the latter allegedly had been dumped on the floor from his chair by Lafiin, Skin Specialist Testifies. The defense put Dr. Charles E.

LQUOR TRAFF SCOREDBY ROPER 'Declares It Has Been Great- est Single Disturbing In- fluence in Politics. ‘The liquor traffic has been the great- est single disturbing influence in Amer- ican politics, Daniel C.

Mr. Roper said the real truth about the liquor situation has never been told, and held that it is the country's |duty to test out the enforcement pro- gram to the limit until a better one is found. Mr. Roper is general chair- man of the committee arranging the meetings. Mrs. Nell Gates, representing the squadron forces, sald 261 meetings are scheduled throughout the countiy.

Mr. Lewis added, to take a series of photographs of all parts of the vessel, Capt. Railey has been in England for the past six weeks, wcrking on the project. While it is considered that the Lusitania lies eight miles out at sea and therefore in a sort of “no man'’s sea,” the permission of the Brit- ish admiralty is 'not essential. Never- theless, Mr. Lewis said, the approval of that body, as well as that of the the | Liverpcol and London War Risk Asso- | ciation, were being sought, if not for anything else, as a matter of courtesy. Th> wreck of the Lusitania, Mr. Lewis said, is regarded as “abandoned property.” The liner was sunk in 240 feet of water, and investigations have shown that the wreck is in an upright position, making salvage cperations less difficult. A buoy marks the spot where the ship sank. Hope to Reach Wreck Soon. “We hope to have divers on the wreck within two months,” said Mr. Lewis, “and we expect that the salvage work will be ccmpleted in another two months at the most.” He added that the expedition will use a specially constructed trawler and a Jaunch for the operations. Of the articles recovered, he said, it was expected that several especially of historic interest will be placed in museums. ‘The tube, which was invented by Mr. Lake shortly before the outbreak of the World War, was to have been used for the salvaging of the British frigate Lutine in the English Channel. It is at Brightlingsea, England, following & series of deep-sea tests. It is five feet in diameter, but the observation chamber is eight feet wide and capable of hold- ing several persons at the same time. Both American and English divers, Mr. Lewis said, would be employed in the work. He estimated the water pressure would be approximately 85 pounds, and that divers would be able to work with- out difficulty.

Mr. Curry told me that he had a brother and 45 other relatives in Texas and that he had visited my State from time to time.

Although the red-haired, stocky-built New Yorker declined to discuss prohi- bition, he declared that since the Speakership would go to Garner, the leadership “should go to a Northern liberal, if I might say.” He is an anti- prohibitionist, while Rainey is a dry. “1f the Democratic party is going to win the Nation in the presidential elec- tion of 1932, they can’t win without the North,” O'Connor said. “We want to elect a Democrat for President. and individuals don't count,” he added. “Election of a leader from the North would be a step toward that Southern States, O'Connor added, probibly would support their favorite sons at the Democratic caucus Decem- ber 5 and then withdraw, 'eaving the contest to Northern contenders.
