DRANK, BUT DID NOT GET DRUNK, | SAYS THE CHIEF Chief Lang's testimony Friday night in his own behalf branded practically everybody in his party as more or less “hilarious” and inebriated, except himself, thus giving the lie from his own lips to some of his friends, who swore that nobody in the party was intoxicated. Lang also said Mayor Gill was mistaken and that he never told the mayor that he had anything to drink at the cabaret girl’s room, tho he admitted a bottle of beer was opened up there. Again giving the lie to some of his friends, who swore that, tho they were with him, they didn’t see him take any drinks, Chief Lang summed up the total of his drinks that night as follows: A cocktail and two glasses of champagne at the Rainier club, two glasses of champagne at Tate’s, nothing at all at the girl’s room. Lang said that after he took two glasses of champagne at the Rainier club, he refused to take any more. He also said that after two more glasses at Tate's he “poured the rest of it away under the table when the others weren't looking, but didn’t drink any.” |Dale, Lundy, Marble, Fitzgerald and | something to drink. He said, “I don't mind.” So she got a bot- tle of beer “somewhere in the room.” “Oh, this a warm bottle,” she said. ‘send down and get a cold one.” This was about 2 a.m. She did get the cold bottle then, and poured out a glass for the chief. Why, aren't you girls going to drink, too?” the chief says he asked them. “No, we do not drink,” they told him, he says. “So, I didn’t drink anything, either,” he concluded. elicited laughter with the crowd in the lobby, as he explained some of the things that happened on the (Continued on Page 5) MAY BE WATER SHORTAGE There may be a shortage of wa-; ter on the high points of the low lservice system in Ballard, west of Phinney ave, There will be no) water on N, and W. 39th, between Phinney and Third N.
