WADOO TO TESTIFY INTHE MORSE GASE No Decision Yet on Calling « Woodrow Wilson —— ‘Washington, July 16.—Willlam G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, was expected to confer today with counsel for Charles W. Morse, his sons and co-defendants in their trial here on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government which enter- €d its fourteenth week on the conven- ing of court. Mr. McAdoo, who was subpoenaed as a witness by detense counsel to tes. tify as to his knowledge of the affairs of the Virginia Shipbuilding corpora- tion as Morse concern, for which his law firm served as legal counsel, probably will take the stand tomor- row or Wednesday. There was some probability also of o decision today as to service of the subpoena obtained by defense counsel for the appearance as a witness of Woodrow Wilson. Counsel have indi- cated they would be guided entirely by the opinion of Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the former ptesident's physician as to whether his physical condition will ,permit his appearance in court and would not insist on his attendance. Payne's Deposition The defense will also introduce in evidence this week the deposition of John Barton Payne, former chairman of' the shipping board taken before his departure for Mexico City as one of the American commissioners now in negotiation with the Mexican gov- ernment. In his deposition, as made public prior to being read to the jury, Mr. Payne declared in reply to a question of defense counsel that dur- ing his chalrmanship of the shipping Loard he never was able to ascertain how the government’s account stood with the "Virginia Shipbuilding corp. As to progress made by the corpo- Jatlon in fulfilling its et with the government, stated that on a visit to its dria, Va., he saw nothing “‘that indicate any impending or ob- structing” of the work. Much Controversy “I want to be undegstoed as say- ing,” he declared “that so far as the faets were hrought to my knowledge, the Virginia Shipbuilding Corp., was . progressing as fast as they could un- der all condition controversy about money a good deal, and that the Morse people seemed to be doing the best they could and were shipbuilding | Mr. | that there was a| acting, as I saw it, in good faith,” Defense counsel questioned Mr. Payne regarding a memorandum which he addressed to the general au- ditor of the shipping board as chair- man on March 5, 1920 referring to a resolution adopted by the hoard the day before regarding a ‘financing plan for the Virginia Shipbuilding Corp." Asking the latter official to look over the situation with regard to the Morse plants Mr. Payne stated in his memorandum that the board did ‘not want to unduly extend the Morse in- terests” and added: “I have an impression that he is skating on rather thin fce.” Questioned by defense attorneys as to whether he meant by the latter ex- pression to convey any belief of a lack of good faith on the part of Mr. Morse and his associates, Mr. Payne replied: “No; that he was simply tryinfg to do too much without adequate capl- tal.” Landers Girls Outing On Shore of Farmington Hot dogs, ice cream, lolly pops 'n everything were on the menu at the L.

Rome, July 16.—Amid scenes rarely enacted in any chamber, Premier Mussolini last night won a vote of confidence from the chamber of depu- ties with a margin of 163 votes on -his electorate reform bill. Before the vote was taken, Musso- 1ini harangued the deputies in his ac- customed style. His flery address was both from the benches and the galler- who waited outside into wild demon- strations.

A rare delight for critical smokers. Now on sale everywhere. At a time when cigarettes have apparently reached their limit of perfection comes a surprising discovery, a new-type cigarette, very distinctive. Asall men know, wonderful progress has been made in cigarette making. There are mafiy excellent brands, many favorites. Blending has reached an art. To the credit, yet despair of experts, no outstanding achievement has seemed pos- sible lately. Each smoker has become con- tentwith his favorite cigarette—and no one has been expecting an entirely different, un- usual blend. But suddenly out of+perfection, as a 19 year recompense, comes a wonder-blend, exclusive, superfine. Its pedigree We call this new cigarette Blue Boar be- cause it is developed from America’s favorite fine tobacco, Blue Boar Pipe Mixture. For 19 years its tobaccos have been the finest obtainable—eight rare types of the choicest American, Turkish and Egyptian. Here was no chance for betterment. The secret of this new-type cigarette is in a newly discovered method of blending. This may sound commonplace to men who have felt that the limit of refinement had been reached, but you will be as surprised as others when you smoke your first pack of Blue Boars. Blue Boar tobacco is TRIPLY blended. The ordinary process is but a single blend- ing, which now seems crude. Yet for years experts have considered one blending suffi- cient, and have searched elsewhere for re- finements. In Blue Boar we blend the two Amerjcan tobaccos separately. Likewise the five Turk- ish. Then we give the Latakia from Egypt a mellowing treatment. Each tobacco de- velops its finest characteristics. A third and final blending insures a rare and distinctive combination, such as you’ve never known before. The old way never could bring such perfection. It is a costlier, slower process—but worth it as you’ll agree. The result of this simple discovery makes all the difference in the world—an entirely new taste, a refinement of all refinements. Your decision, please Blue Boar Cigarettes are now on the market and already over 500,000 men have shown this triple blending their enthusiastic preference. We ask you to sample this unusual cigar- ette. Learn why it is causing so much com- ment. Note its distinct flavor, its surprising and agreeable difference from any cigarette you have .ever smoked before. Compare triple blending with the ordinary. Buy one pack of Blue Boars. We promise youadelightful surprise. You’llundoubtedly adopt Blue Boars as your final-type favorite —and never switch again. “One man tells another” He has no plans for the fu-! ed areas were turned into parks and | Oklahoma City, Okla, July 16.~= The executive committee of the Am- ‘erlcun Legion department of Okla« homa voted yesterday to make formal demand upon Governor Walton for the removal of George Wilson from | the presidency of Oklahoma agricul« |tural and mechanical college.
