MILLION DOLLAR RUM CASE RULING Judge Rules Federal Indictment Be Quashed New Haven, Bept. 26 (P —A deci- sion was handed down by IFederal Judge Edwin 8. Thomas yesterday in the long drawn out million dollar diversion case, with ten persons and two concerns as defendants, in ‘which a motion of the defendants to quash the indictment on ground that “an improper person was im the grand jury room” was granted, and -another motion to quash be- caude the indictment was based on “incompetent and hearsay evidence,” was denied. The decision is contain- ¢d in 39 pages of memorandum written by Judge Thomas and today attorneys on both sides were study- ing it. 2 From this it appeared that the request of Benjamin Slade, of coun- sel for the defendants, that the court Jury whicn tound the indlctment is look into the records of the grand denied on the grounds that the court has no right to review the delibera- Aions ofa grand jury.- ‘The court at length went into the matter of the presenoe of Charles F. Roberts of West Haven, attorney and stenographer, in the jury room, and it comments to the effect that it (the court) is unable to determine why he was there, The government has set up claim that Roberts was present as a special assistant district attorney. The court's opinion was that he was an “unauthorized per- son” present in the jury room. The defendants of record in this ¢ase are: J. Edgar Pike, Danbury; Harry 1. Comen, New Haven; Charles W. Stevens, Danbury; John A. Morse, a formed federal prohibi- tion enforcement agent; Nathan An- tony, and Carl Florlo, truckers; Solo- mon Goldman, Herman I. Goldman of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Richard Btevens Monroe, of New Haven; and the Solvents Recovery Company, Inc., and the Connecticut Alcohol Distributors Ing. Several of the in- dividual defendants were or are Connected with the two concerns. One other defendant, Joseph Adler, a banker, in this city, died during the early stages of the case. The original prosecution was in January, 1927, and as the indict- ments were quashed the government secured new ones in October last. It was stated today that the exact status of the case in light of the de- cision of Judge Thomas is yet to be determined. The export trade of the United States in the second quarter of 1928 reached a higher value than in any Second quarter since 1920. g PARSONS’ HARTFORD TRORS.-FRL-NAT.

Damage From Frosts Windsor, Ont., Sept. 26 (A)—The cold wave which has spread across Canada and the northern part of the United 8tates has caused untold loss to Canadian grain and tobacco grow- ers. Hundreds of acres of tobacco near Bt. Thomas have been destroyed by | the frost and the tobacco growers of this district said another heavy frost would cause at least a million dol- lars’ damage to the crop in this vi- clnity,, One grower in Elgin county estimated that 15 per cent of his best tobacco was a total loss and that almost half his crop was in such condition that it would bring only a meagre price in the market. Acres on acres of grain in the area around Sault Ste. Marie are said to be rotting in the fields and many truck growers have suffered large losses in their potato and to- mato crop. The corn, which is late affected, farm experts believe.

The re- publicans still count the whole west as safe, but the democrats are ex- traordinarily hopetul, particularly as to Montana, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. Smith's Speech Although he did not mention the tariff in his speech here last Satur- day night, Governor Smith's visit to this state nevertheless left behind it a trail of tariff discussion, A farm delegation after seeing the nominee and talking at length with one of his political advisers, announced that he favored retention of adequate | tarift protection for sugar. On his special train in Wyoming, Smith later denied that he had given any | such assurance. The Colorado re- publicans took advantage of the sit- uation to accuse him of double dealing. They had on hand a Hoo- ver-pledged farm delegation on Monday night to greet 8enator Cur- tis, who made a tarifl speech. There are elcments of concern for both sides in this Colorado situation, taken as a whole, but it is disputed whether there is any real prospect of Colorado tymbling out of the re- publican column, ‘Wet Is Elected Denver recently has clected an out and out wet to congress and the democrats count on impressive ma- Jorities here, in Peublo, and in the southern tier of counties where there are many voters of Mexican extraction and many Catholics. They also hope to make scrious inroads on the ordinarily republican farm sections, and among the coal miners. The president of the state federation PICK O’ THE PICTURES "SAMMY THURS.—FRL—SAT.

Much | falth is .placed in the leadership of the democratic governor, William H. Adams, a candidate for re-election, who always hecetofore has been able to attract many republican votes to the democratic ticket. The repubilacns have been quar- reling in this state, while the demo- | crats appear united except for the | | inevitable defections on prohibition and religion. The Methodist minis- ters and the Anti-Saloon League are well organized against the demo- | cratic national ticket. The Klan, once a real power in the state, 1s attempting a comeback.

Kendrick, up for re- election, and active for Smith., He always gets the support of many republicans, has been able to satisfy them by his tariff votes and was five times president of the national livestock association. Opposite Courses Taken The uncertainties clustered about these various issues may be illus trated by the opposi adopted by two outstan lican members of the against the prohibition amendment. One of them, C. B. Richardson, vic president of the Consolidated Roy alty Ofl Company, writes the Asso. ciated Press that he and othe Wyoming voters of his acquaintance | who favor modification of the dry laws will support Hoover because hey consider prohibition a secon- dary consideration to business pros- perity, and predicts that will be elected by “wet ther, Spencer Penroge of Colorado prings, millionaire brother of the late republican scnator from Penn- sylvania, has come out for Smith.
