Andrews who is | in charge of prohibition enforce- ment, is amused by a story that he | has had a financlal interest in a rum ! running scheme. | ‘The fact that the story, attributed to a rum runner, was told on the stand in federal court by an “under cover” agent in the trial of a rum ring led to speculation today 2s - to Whether the rum runners had been | deceived. { Samuel D. Briggs, former coast guardsman and rum runner but now an “under cover” agent, testified in the trial of Frank and Edward Cos- | tello and others in foderal court yes- | terday that he had been told by Phillp J. Coffey, one of the defen(l-‘ ants, that General Andrews was in- | terested in a liquor schooner which | was to net him $100.000 a year. | General Andrews in \\'asmngmni last night said he knew nothing of | the story. He deciined to take it ecriously and laughingly remarked that his only connection with rum rings was “to get them all in jall.". General Andrews' name was brought into the testimony when Briggs told of a luncheon with Cof- fey on Noverhber 1, 1925 at the Hotel Mohican, New London, Conn., when he said he asked Coffey about two men who had come to New, London and were believed to be gov- ernment agents. Andrews is Mentioned | “During the discussion at the| luncheon,” Briggs testified, “Coffey told me not to worry about these two men, Wilson and this associate | of his; that this Mr. Wilson was Gen- | eral Andrews' personal representa- tive, and that they had the schooner Athenia and the cargo was owned jeintly by his people, the Coffey peo. ple, and General Andrews, or Gen- eral Andrew’s representative, and explained that after all expenses, overhead, etc., had been pald Gen- | eral Andrews' share of the transac- | tion would amount to approximate- | 1y $2,000.” “They were going to glve General | Andrews $2,0007” Briggs was ask- | ed by Assistant United States At- torney Hitchcock. $20,000 by letting certain coast guard boats collect graft from rum schooners, He at first declined, he said, but| the next day changed his mind and agreed to work for Sims. Shortly afterward, he testified, he was given $500, which, he said, he turned over to F. H. Young, his superior officer. In all he turned over $1,200 to Young, he sald. Earlier in the day Frederick C. Assmua, former coast guardsman on the patrol boat 129 and one of those under indictment, pleaded apilty. Guardian Appointed for Frank Sayles* Daughter Pawtucket, R.

Doctors Endorse ew Studebaker No-Draft Windshield This diagram shows bow the Stadebaker no-draft contilating windsbield, when epemed oxtwerd, diredds the air up over the accapamts’ beads. The convenient handle o the dash adiudls the windshield 10 any desired position. A bidden trough nder the cowl carvies off rain when the windshicld is sct for Serm-proef ventilavion. I[N the matter of giving professional endorsements, do&ors are the most conservative of men. Nevertheless, many leaders of the profession have volunteered their approval of the new no-draft ventilating wind- shield (patented by Studebaker). Keeps Out Rain—Lets In Air—Avoids Drafis Opened inwardly, this sew Studebaker windshield directs the air car- rents down into the driver’s compartment. In this position the wind- shicld is also waterproof. In.the stormiest downpour, with a driving rain slashing head-on againg the open windshicld, none can enter the car. Opened outwardly, it deflets the air in a gentle current up over the heads of the occupants. In neither case is there any direct draft, yet tobacco smoke and stale air arc carried off, while the supply of clean, fresh airisconstantly renewed. All Studebaker Custom Cars have the following equipment Front and rear bumpers; engine thermometer and hydrogtatic gasoline gauge on the dash; coincidental lock; oil filter; automatic windshield cleaner; rear-vision mirror; traffic signal light; 4-wheel brakes; full- size balloon tires; and two-bcam acorn headlights, controlled from Steering wheel. Only the fa@ that Studebaker manufactures all the vital parts of its cars in its own great plants makes such outitanding values possible. “Your No-Draft Ventilating Windshield not only adds con- siderably to the comfort of driv- ing, butgives adefinite protection againgt the ills caused by riding ina draft. Ibelieveit tobeade- cided reform frem cowl or open windshicld ventilation.”" DR. CHAS. J. WHALEN, Pagt President, llinois Medical Assa., Editor, Ill. Medical Journal. PECR «I am glad to write you what I think about the new Studebaker windshicld. I have been over the mattet carcfully and think that it looks so good I feel sure my next car will have it. It looks like & physical impossibility that any amount of draft can bother the occupants of the seats of the vehicle.” J. M. BLACKFORD, M. D., Seattle, Wash. v . . “In the new Custom Sedan which you have juit brought out, the ventilating windshicld attragted my attention. I believe thiswind- shield and the ventilating system used thereon, is about the most attragive and up to date arrange- ment I have ever seen. ] tried the full effes of the windshield on a rainy day and am very much enthused about the operation of same and the benefits derived therefrom.” J. T. TRAVERS, M. D,, New York City. v 9 v ““The new windshield ventilating system is ideal. Its ‘overhead or underfoot’ sele@ive feature is ex- cellent for the avoidante of the disagreeable draughts to which one is subje&ted in most cars; and its rainftorm ventilation is a tri- umph. No more hot, uffy cars during summer showers." DR. B. SFEWART RALSTON, Pittsburgh, Pa. R “The health proteition afforded by the new Studebaker ventila- tion system is not only unique, but should prove very valuable to ons who are subjed to colds and other ailments caused by sudden weather changes. Studcbakeris to be congratulated on this important advancement.** R. B. GRIFFITH, M. D., Los Angeles, Cal. ALBRO MOTOR SALES CO. 725 ARCH ST. S Tl D BB A . “N.E.
