MOUSE CAUSES SCARE AT BRISTOL MEETING Woman Shrieks and Even Brave Males Beat Retreat (Special to the Herald) Bristol, Feb. 26—The mouse men- tioned so prominently in the fable “The Lion and the Mouse” could have caused no more consternation than the one which almost broke up a meeting of the school dis- trict in the Stafford section of Bris- tol last night. During a heated dis- cussion, the small quadruped, ap- parently disturbed from its slumber by loud volces, appeared from one of the lockers and sought refuge under one of the seats in the front row. A woman, spying the rodent approaching, was visibly weakened by the sight, not however, until she had emitted a shrill scream and dashed to the front of the room.

At the hearing yesterday, Joseph Hood of West Haven and William Farquahson, manager of the Wal- dorf lunch system *in New Haven, testified to their acquaintance with Klug, and Mrs. Klug testified that an arrangement can be made to ob- {tain her husband's relcase on a re- { duced bond.

To Make Last Attempt A last resort to make the measure effective before congress quits next Friday was to be made today by Senator McNary, republican, Oregon, |its co-author, in a motion to over- ride the veto, but failure of the at- tempt had been conceded by both advocates and opponents. They had pre- senate and saw no possibility of mustering the necessary two thirds | to pass the measure in the face of | presidential rejection. | Will Resume Fight Supporters of the bill, unsigned by Mr. Coolidge on the ground that it {s economically un- sound and unconstitutional, prediot- ed, however, that the vote on the MeNary motion would serve notice 0% the White House'that they have t given up the fight but are pre- | pared to resume it in the seventieth congress convening next December. Congressional comment on the president’s message, which was back- ed up with an adverse opinion by Attorney General Sargent as to the I's constitutionality, was divided ilong the lines developed during the fight for passage in both houses. While middle-western agricultura | leaders expressed keen disappoint- | ment and criticized the veto, prices of wheat, corn and cotton, three of the six basic commodities affected hy the bill, rallied strongly on the Chi- cago board of trade.

Representative Tilson, the republican leader, summed up the ntiments of the bill's opponents in ard to the veto with the terse statement that “nobody cxpeced any | thing else.” | Senator MeNary sald it was a “grievous disappointment to the west Ibut not a permanent setback.” Sen- ator Curtis, the republican leader, | declined to comment, but Senator | Robinson, the minority leader, de- {clared the president had “disappoint- !ed hopes of the formers throughout the south, west and middle west." Calls It Mistake It was the “most serious” mistake of the president, said Senator Cap- {per, republican, Kans: Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, said he | “greatly regretted” the action, while Gooding, republican, Idaho, termed it a “great disappointment to agri- culture.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26 (A — Charged with smuggling a $500,000 cargo of whiskey into this country, J. H. S. MacDonald, master of the British steamship Clackamas, and 33 members of his crew where held in heavy bail for court today by | United States Commissioner Long | after a hearing which lasted from | midnight until 2 a. m. Told Thrilling Tale Much of the hearing was taken up by a story of piracy, rum-run- ning, mutiny and smuggling told by M. J. Long, wireless operator on the | vessel Long sald he had turned in-| former because “they did not do the | right thing.” He added that he had been held prisoner since the ship arrived here February 18 and that| he had managed to escape yester- | day and notify govermment officials, who arrested Captain MacDonald and his crew. i At the conclusion of the hearing the captain was held in $5,000 bal, the mate and engineer in $3,000 each and the members of the crew in $1,000 each. Bond was furnished iby all. But little information was ob- tained from any of the crew with! the exception of Long and Ellis Poirier. The latter corroborated the statements of the wircless oper- ator in most of all essential detalls. Cargo Tossed Overboard | The Clackamas arrived here last | Iriday from Port Mulgrave, N. S., with a cargo of wood pulp. Long testified that one half of the wood | | pulp cargo had been thrown over- | hoard the day after the ship cleared | trom Port Mulgrave to make room | for 10,000 cases of whiskey picked up from a rum-running schooner at sea. The liquor, he said, was smug- | gled into Newark, N. J., and un- loaded into sixty motor trucks on February 17. Crew Shanghaied | The wireless operator stated that | many of the crew had been shanghaied at Port Mulgrave. When they protested to Captain Mac- Donald, according to Long, th were threatened with frons. Final- Iy some of the crew had mutinied, but they were quickly beaten into submission and latter lured to ald in the alleged smuggling plot under | promise of “big pay.” | 10.000 Cases of Whiskey The second day out of Port Mul- grave, the schooner Beatrice was |sighted flying distress signals, Long | said, and Captain MacDonald or- | dered the Clackamas alongside the | schooner. Members of the Clack- | amas’ crew then had been ordered to help unload the cargo of the| Jeatrice and stow it aboard the Clackamas. The cargo proved to| be 10,000 cases of whiskey and the | men had toiled from 7 a. m. to mid- night February 10, to make the| transfer. Radio Man’s Tip A week later the Clackamas, with the liquor hidden under the re- mainder of the wood pulp, Long added, steamed into New York and then left for Newark where the con- traband was unloaded, and the ship | sailed for this port to dispose of the wood pulp. Government agents who boarded the ship here after the wireless op- crator had told his story to United States marshals, brought all the | | members of the crew to the federal | | building here except six, who were | {left under guard in charge of the; | vessel. Captain MacDonald was not | |aboard the ship, but later was found | |in a suite at a leading hotel.
