Rover Is not . greatly Interested in the testimony of W. W. Liggett, magazine writer, who has described Washington as a fairly alcoholic locality. He appeared before the grand jury only for a few minutes. Liggett told newspapermen he knew of a liquor party given by a Harding cabinet member at which each of 260 guests had a quart hottie placed at his plate. Newspapermen here could recall no such, function, however, and officials pointed out no prosecution could possibly follow because of the statute of limitations. NEGROES WERE TO BE SHIFTED TO DEMOCRATS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE> "The council, if organized on a high plane,’’ the prospectus continued, ‘‘and officered by outstanding citizens of the south both Hoover democrats and republicans can be made the instrument of building up a real republican party in the south.” Arnold continually told the committee he was not the author of the plan, but Chairman Caraway disputed his assertions. In another letter Arnold told of talking to republican leader Watson about plan for the council, and indicating that Watson advised him to coniine his work to the tariff association, rather than the republican council. "Did Watson suggest you abandon the plan?" Caraway asked. "His judgment would settle it with us." “Do you say that Watson killed your council?” "I wouldn’t say that completely.” Another Arnold letter to Muse said the whole plan “seems to swing around Hoover."

Arnold wrote, "It all seems to swing around Hoover; he seams to have given the Impression among his associates that lie Is personally interested In the south and wants to handle it. I have no doubt he will welcome any aid or assistance but the only thing to do is go ahead with it. We can't get anywhere talking around In circles. I think Dr. Lewis (mentioned elsewhere as Dr. Burdette Lewis, chairman of the council) should go see him If he prefers to follow that course, "The crux of it all is the negro question which the republican party cannot solve; they have tried it for 50 years, and made no progress. “The plan which Colonel Mann (Horace Mann, official of the republican national committee) and others who are in close contact with Hoover seems to be to kick the negro out of the party in the south and to supplant him with-white demorrats; take all patronage away from the negro; in other words whiten the republican party. "Our plan is to equalize by blackening the democratic party. It is for Hoover to say which he prefers.” The* committee asked Arnold again during the reading of this letter if he had ever seen Hoover about the plan. "No, and I've never had any one else see him,” Arnold said. Before the committee showed these letters and documents to Arnold, Chairman Caraway asked him when he started the southern republican council. "In 1920”, Arnold said. , "We have papers here showing you . were interested in it later than that, in fact since the last election," Caraway replied. Then the committee read the prospectus of the council. Arnold insisti ed he knew nothing about it.

several of his experiences and how happy everyone was on the first Armistice day. He was stationed at Bor- i deaux when the Armistice was signed. "The war is everything that anyone says it is, but out of It we have obtained much good. We know how to love peace and therefore want peace. Industry and commerce have been speeded up sipce the war and much of the prosperity of today is due to the after effects of the war," state the speaker. Purpose of Legion Mr. Graham told of tbe purpose of the American Legion and how it was founded in Paris a few days after the signing of the Armistice, “it is not an organization striving to get or increase pensions.

Meant Great Joy Dr. Jones slated, "not since the coming of Christ has anything meant so much joy to the people of the world as the signing of the Armistice.” Suggests An Airport ■ Judge Sutton, speaking on the "Legion's Place In the Community,” commended the Legionnaires for their heroic deeds and made the suggestion that the Post get back of the movement to establish an airport for Decatur. He was given the assurance that the Legion was working on this proposition.
