that the Indiana state supreme court had reversed the state court and held that state prohibition was constitutional.” said Judge Anderson to Schmitt, "and yon wnnt the Jury to believe that?” Schmitt attempted to say that was true and then admitted that he knew of it. The court asked: 'You mean to tell that every man who has testified against you here is not telling the truth?’ Schmitt bgranded the evidence as “untrue.” Schmitt attempted to make the Jury and the court believe that he hired "stool pigeons” to aid in detecting booze sellers, but they couldn't detect them. “They were careful to whom they sold.” said Schmitt. "Name me just one stool pigeon you hired. Just one,” demanded Judge Anderson. Schmitt stated he couldn’t remember a single name. Judge Anderson asked, “You want this jury to believe that you used every means at your hand to stop the liquor traffic ?’’ “Yes, I did,” said Schmitt. “Are you a man of means and property?” asked the court. “I am a man of no means,” replied Schmitt. “Have you any property?” asked the court. “I am a man of no means,” replied Schmitt. ' “Have you any property?” asked the court. “Just my home valued at $2,400 and that is In the Joint name of my wife and myself," answered Schmitt. “POOR MAN” BUYS $750 BOAT. “You tell the jury that you are a man of no means and yet you testified here that you paid $750 for a motor boat?” asked Judge Anderson. Schmitt feebly admitted that was true. “That’s all,” said Judge Anderson sitting back in his chair. Schmitt, during cross-examination, denied that he ever received a cent of protection mor.ey; denied that he gave protection“to Van PicfcertU or any one else; denied that he put his men on roads where he knew that whisky was not coming Into the city, and denied every other bit of evidence submitted against him.

He stated that an injunction issued against him to prevent him from enforcing the prohibition law "embarrassed" him and allowed violations. The evidence given by Mrs. SaUle Gates of Evansville, who lives near- the Wabash street river landing, probably gained Sheriff Males' release from further prosecution. In a motherly sort of a fashion, Mrs. Gatea, who has patiently stood the heat of the crowded courtroom since the trial started, took the witness stand as a witness for the defense. * Mrs. Gates testified that she lived near the Wabash street river landing and that she often saw barrels of whisky unloaded from boats, rolled up the incline and then placed on trucks. CALLS SHERIFF WHEN' POLICE FAIL. The witness claimed that on one evening she saw Gene McKinney, and another man, who has been identified with the alleged whisky traffic, approach the lauding place. "There was so much whisky hauled from this landing.” she testified, "and I wanted it stopped and I called tho police and told them that a load of whisky was coming In.” She explained that she waited for some time and that when the police at first failed to appear, she called Sheriff Males and appealed to him. Oa her appeal, Sheriff Males and Deputy Ruhl arrived, but in the meantime two police officers came and she testified that she told the officers of the incoming load of whisky. “The police went down the hill and looked around and then they came back and told me as usual they ‘found nothing,’” Mrs. Gates testified. "Why, judge, there were so many barrels of whisky rolled up the hill that 1 could not sleep at night.” she said earnestly. "The police at that time told me that it was none of my business. “I offered the police my front room to hide In and see for themselves and they told me that they were not getting paid for that.” Very earnestly Mrs. Gates declared that after Sheriff Males arrested several men and took many cases of whisky on the night she called the sheriff, that the landing was no longer used for unloading whisky from boats coming from Kentucky. . Prior to the testimony offered so earnestly by Mrs. Gates, Sheriff Maips took the witness stand and carefully described wbat he termed was a couscieutlous attempt on his part to prevent the importation of whisky into Evnnsvllle and what an enormous task it was until federal prohibition went Into effect. He testified that he carefully searched a vacant bouse at Long Branch for whisky which was said to have been stored there, and that he only found traces of boxes having been in the cellar. He admitted that when he thought that Police Chief Schmitt was “using" him. he no longer assigned deputies to watch the roads and the river, but personally took charge of all raids and investigate

lag trips. MALES HAS BOOZE IX JAIL. , Males testified that as'soon as be took charge that he began to arrest men and obtain cargoes of whisky which he said he- now holds in the “booze room” 01 the Jail. He emphatically denied that he ever held any conversations with “Boss” Ossenberg regarding the proposition of not bothering the liquor traffic and denied that he ever permitted a caravan of three taxicabs loaded with whisky to pass him by. On cross examination, he admitted that he was in the soft drink business snd that products had been sold mainly to “so. s*’"- - V Males a-.* Xjuty Charles .T. Ruhl was a former . . q keeper and also admitted that Fred o.Jenberg was a “political boss,” and that Ossenberg supported him in the primary. Males also stated that Circuit Judge Gould often visited Ossenberg's grocery snd former saloon on the edge of “Rabbit Town,” which Is the negro district. “What did you, Ossenberg and the judge do there?" asked Mr. Slack for the government. “Just there laughin’ and talkin’," replied Males. Judge Robert Traeewell, of the superior court of Vanderburg county, testified that Males bore a good reputation and was an “excellent officer” and often consulted him when the sheriff was making arrests of the booze runners. Other prominent citizens of Evansville testified regarding the “good reputation”- of Males and Ruhl, as well as that of Fred Ossenberg. After this line of defense had been entered in behalf of Males and Ruhl, Judge Anderson stopped the efforts of counsel to further question Males. “I think.” said Judge Anderson, “that the sheriff has made an explanation concerning the searching of the vacant house. “They were mighty slow in getting their search warrants as they began at 10 o’clock in the morning and did not get them until 3 o'clock. “I think that there Is some question concerning the sheriff doing his full duty, but while he was oa the stand he sugtTurn to Page 10, Figure 2) Etbat the chief was responsible for ig him on the wrong roads, ere is not sufficient evidence to nt the case of Males and Ruhl going jury and I will instruct proper time to render a

not guilty as to Males and Ruhl. “It la not necessary to take any more time In Introducing evidence regarding these two,” stated Judge Anderson. Making sweeping denials to all 7>f the evidence given by Van Pickerill, former wholesale liquor dealer at Henderson, Ky., Fred Ossenberg, a defendant, took the witness stand in his own defense. Ossenberg contended that Pickerill came to him and attempted to persuade him to influence the circuit court to prevent a certain etaploye of Van Pickerill, who was arrested by Sheriff Males, not to tell his story because It would involve Pickerill. Ossenberg stated that he refused to have anything to do with It. os Judge Gould and the sheriff were determined to break up the liquor traffic. He denied that he ever demanded $15,000 of Pickerill in order to have the sheriff to “lay off” of the roads so that whisky could be freely transported into the city of Evansville. Ossenberg said that Judge Gould, Ben Bosse, mayor of Evansville; Warren McCray, republican candidate for governor, and Senator Watson had visited him. INTEREST OP G. O. P. AT HEART. On cross examination, Ossenberg contended that his only interest was in “behalf of the republican party and Sheriff Males," as he wanted to see them make good and stamp out the traffic. He admitted that Van Pickerlll’s case in the circuit court for the alleged violation of the state liquor laws had never been tried and that it was pending before Special Judge Daniel H. Ortmeyer.

lunch and spent several hours with Efwell on Tuesday of the week he was murdered. On Thursday, which was the day before the murder, she said that he had attended a wedding at the Plaza hotel. * While Mrs. Larsen, who had misled the authorities earlier in the case by her pretense of stupidity and her assertion that she knew nothing about Elwell’s affairs, was breaking down in tears under the ruthless questioning of Doollng, detectives were out running down the most important clews which have come to light since the murder. These were telephone sheets which showed that at 4:39 on the morning of the murder, Elwell had telephoned to William H. Pendleton, his former partner, and that at 6:09 a. m. he had telephoned to his brother, Waller Elwell, at Hempstead. Neither the brother of the murdered man nor Pendleton, who have both been questioned, said anything about these telephoned calls. Walter 'fllwell could not be reached today, but when a reporter telephoned to that address a wqman who replied said: “I have nothing to say about the case except that the call was not in the morning but at about 6, o’clock at night.” Shortly after this conversation District Attorney Swann said : “I have Just talked with Walter Elwell. and he tells me that he had not been in communication with bis brother for a year before his murder.” MRS. LARSEN TELLS THINGS. Eeginalng with a cool wearied air to answer unimportant questions and to plead ignorance In response to important ones, Mrs. Larsen, the housekeeper, gradually began to give frightened glances and to make partial revelations and finally to become hysterical and tell a great deal to Mr. Doollng. She first tried to tell the assistant district attorney that there were no clothes in the house except Elwell’a. “Were there not some womsn’s clothes?” “No,”' she replied, “only a pink silk gown, a cap and slippers." “Whom did they belong to?” “I Cos not know.’ After flushing and evad'ng, Mrs. Larsen said she meant she had never seen the woman In them, though she had seen a woman there frequent!/ calling on 111 well in the day time, and that she assumed they were hers. “You hid them, didn't you, Mrs. Larsen, in order to prevent a woman’s name from being dragged into the 'as*?” “Yes.” “Did this woman ask you to hide them ?" “No." “How did you come to bide them w.tuout being asked?" “I thought it would not Us nice for them to be found there."

TELLS OF tEKING WOMAN’. Oa further questioning on this point she admitted she had se*n the woman who owned the garments a few hours the murder. She arrived before newspaper accounts of the merrier tod been printed and got her Information, apparently, by telephone or messenger. "She came up all excited, ’ Mrs. I-arsen said finally, "and said, O, v/nat an accident, Mrs. Larsen!’” “I see,” Mr. Dooling said, “she knew your name, though you didn't know hers.” “Yes.” She then explained how the woman had left when she discovered the detectives. “Did you cut out the initials from that silk garment before you finally turned It over to the police?” “No; that had been done a long time before.” Mrs. Larsen insisted she had not been bribed or requested to hide the garments. “Did you hide the things before or after the woman came?” “It was—l think—O, how can I remember. There was so much going on.” Mr. Dooling decided here to cut short the examination In the presence of spectators. He said: “I think perhaps, if I talk to Mrs. Larsen she will tell me a good many things that she does not like to tell now.” Mrs. Larsen nodded her head. Mr. Dooling continued to talk to her for about an hour longer in private. When he was through he said that she had told him some interesting things. The woman insisted throughout, however, that what she had done had not tended to shield any criminals or to Interfere with the police investigation, but merely to save the young woman from disgrace.

—————— •ANNA’ OF LEXINGTON TELLS OF ELWELL LEXINGTON, Ky., June 17.—A girl whose first name Is the same as that of the mysterious “Anna” mentioned by New York authorities in the murder cf Joseph B. Elwell, wealthy turfman, was found here today and told readily of her acquaintance with Elwell. She is a pretty brunette, about 20 years old. The police here do not attempt to connect her with the girl referred to by New York authorities, however, who advanced the theory that Elwell was shot by a relative of a Lexington girl. “Anna'” told the police she had beeu introduced to Elwell by a well-known society woman. She said she bad accepted his invitation to dinner. “Later I became ill and went to a hospltST,” she said, “and when he heard I was there he sent me flowers. “When he left Lexington I received from him a farewell note, which I answered in a most formal and impersonal way. merely thanking him for courtesies he had shown me. “That no doubt is the note they found among his possessions in New York.” During hVa visit to Lexington Elwell Tfas received in exclusive social circles, being much iu demand at whist and bridge parties. one party he lost S3OO.

ing for the nomination, will be here tomorrow to confer with the senator on political matters. Until this conference has been held, Senator Harding said, he will not be able definitely to announce his program. “I shall see every republican it Is physically possible for me to meet,” Senator Harding stated. “I will get the views of every party man without regard to factions and I shall not consider the question of internal party differences In connection with these conferences.” KNOWS NOTHING OF SUCH MOVEMENT. The senator was told that a movement Is under way in Ohio for delegations of the rival republican factions there to come to Washington and lay their differences before him for adjustment. “I have no knowledge of such a plan on the part of the Ohio leaders,” he said, “but I wish to say at this time that all republicans look alike to me” Senator Harding has swept his desk clear of Important letters. The senator is determined that he will not be forced into any declarations on important Issues before he outilpes his views specifically and in detail in his letter of acceptance. He sent off many telegrams this morning declining invitations to address mass meetings in his Interest or to give them special messages to be read at the meetings. LABOR SITUATION TO BE STUDIED CAREFULLY’. The senator and his advisors are to give careful study to the labor situation and to domestic problems growing out of labor conditions. It is promised that It will be one of the most important sections cf his letter of acceptance. A movement to unite solidly behind" Harding former Bull Moosers as well as more conservative republicans is under way. The decision to start such a movement was apparently reached by Harding tiuself and Is the first Important one of his presidential campalgu. Walter F. Brown, Toledo, who was active In the Bull Moose movement In 1912 has been assigned the job of winning the active support of all progressives. Brown Is prepared to go out on his mission at once. "I think you will find the progressives will be united behind Senator Harding,” Brown said. FINDS SATISFACTION IN CONGRATULATIONS. Much satisfaction is felt by Senator Harding over the many telegrams of congratulations he is receiving from labor organizations. Many of these were from labor leaders in Ohio, bis home state. The senator’s day of drudgery in hi*? office yesterday was broken late in the afternoon by a visit from Gen. John J. Pershing. The general paid his respects and offered his congratulations. At the time Gen Pershing called the senator was reading a ’otter of congratulation from Admiral William 8. Sims Senator Harding dined at his home last night with Mrs. Harding and a few pergonal friends. For the first evening since his return to Washington he did not take up after dinner with his secretary a mass of un answered correspondence. He rested and retired early. BUTLER MAKES SUAVE REPLY NEW YORK, June 17.—President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university, one of the defeated presidential aspirants at the republican convention, “will give such time and energy to support of the Harding-Coolidge ticket as I can spare from my official dutie#" This declaration was contained in a reply to Gen. Wood’s angry statement from Chicago in which he termed the president of Oolnmhia university a “faker” and a “liar.” Dr. Butler's answer continues suavely: “Political postmortems are futile, but I am sorry Gen. Wood lost his temper. “It does not sound well. "The facts as to his campaign funds are not of my making. “They were revealed by a New York newspaper many weeks ago. “Many of the delegates at Chicago believed these revelations would defeat Gen. Wood If he were nominated.” WILSON INDORSED IN MISSISSIPPI JACKSON, Miss., Jur.e 17.—Reaffirming its advocacy of the cardinal principles of popular government as broadly expressed by Thomas Jefferson, the slate democratic convention of Mississippi indorsed the national democratic administration. approved the service of Mississippi representatives in both branches of congress, favored a league of nations, condemned the republican senate for failure, to ratify the peace treaty and the republican party for Its colorless platform. The delegates to the democratic national convention will be uninstructed, but will vote as a unit. Delegates from the state at large were chosen ns follows: Senator Pat Harrison anil John Sharp Williams, Congressman Ben Humphries and John R. Talley of Hattiesburg. Two delegates each from the eight districts of the state also were elected. The attendance at the convention was the largest since the adoption of the primary election system.

NO DIRECT WIRE FOR PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, June 17.—Secretary Tumulty today denied that President ! Wilson will have a special wire to the whitehouse from the democratic couveu- | tlon In San Francisco. The secretary was careful to explain that his denial does not mean the presl- | dent will not be in close touch with the | at San Francisco. SAY WILSON WILL SEND MESSAGE WASHINGTON, June 17.—There was a growing belief today among democrats I here that the San Francisco Convention may end without indication as to who j 1r choice for the democratic presidential | Domination. | The men who entertain this belief ad- ■ mlt their theory is based on what they ; believe the president will regard as good I political strategy and that it may be | knocked out. Democrats point out, however, that there are a number of presidential possibilities acceptable to Wilson, and for him to select any one of them would unite against that man, during the convention and afterward, all the antlaifftiulstratlon feeling within and without the democratic party, they say. Politicians said Wilson could allow the San Francisco convention to run to a point where the nomination of some one man could be easily accepted. He then could quietly pass the word to his followers to swing the administration backing to that man. If that course were followed the presidential decision probably would not be known. Wilson is reported to be preparing a message to the San Francisco convention.’ It was anticipated this message would deal with issues only, principally the league of liaisons.

Dr. Addieman was S* member of the Ma-oule lodge .ind of the Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity. first ballot at the democratic national convention In San Francisco, Norman Mack, democratic national committeeman from New York, predicted today. Mack was here, In company with E. H. Moore, one of Cox's campaign managers, cn route to San Francisco. Mack declined to discuss the prospective platform except to say that New York would vote for a wet plank. He is a member of the New York delegation. Mack would not predict whom New York would support for the nomination, saying the delegation was unpledged. Moore declared Gov. Cox Is a "progressive” aml Is “strong both with labo and capital” and that be would carry Ohio over Harding If nominated!. Both Moore and Mack declined to comment on "third party” movement and refused to discuaa the republican platform. PROHIBITIONISTS PLAN PRESIDENTIAL TICKET CHICAGO, June 17.—The prohibition party disappointed at the nomination of Senator Harding by the republicans and at rebuffs given Its representatives at the G. O. P. national convention, are planning a presidential ticket, Virgil G. Hinabaw, chairman of the prohibition national committee, declared here today. ’’Little hope Is held that the democrats will put up a 100 per cent prohibition ticket,” said Hinabaw, “We want something more than a candidate," be said. "We want a dry plank and a dry ticket.” The republicans, dry leaders charged, “ducked" the Issue. A telegram was dispatched today to United States Senator Watson of Indiana, chairman of the republican resolutions committee, asking an interpretation of a clause In the platform which Htnshaw said placed the G. O. P. on record “to repeal the arrogant challenge of any class and to maintain the government by all the people Instead of by some of tli<* people.’ He believed this clause was aimed at them. "Senator Harding will not be accepted l<y the prohibitionists,” said Hlnshaw. A statement explaining Its refusal to support Harding probably will be made within n few days. The same objection to Harding will apply to Gov. Cox of Ohio, whether the latter Is nominated for the first or second place on the democratic ticket. William G. McAdoo has the Indorsement of the drys, however.

FRENCH LICK ASSUMES ITS NORMAL POSITION FRENCH LICK, Ind., June 17. After additional sessions of golf today and Friday, Charles Murphy, of Tammany hall, Gov. Smith and their party will proceed to Chicago, from where they will start for San Francisco and French Lick will assume its normal position In the country’s affairs. Not that there was any particular reason for French Lick Inhabiting the front pages but the presence of !he New York leaders with Thomas Taggart, Indiana democratic leader, permitted lengthy speculation which will probably subside with their departure. There has been no” great gathering of numerous politicians here. A half dozen New Yorkers in the Smith-Murphy party, Senator Watson of Virginia and Taggart represented the layout. There has been no so-called conference and informal political discussion between golf games has been binding on nobody. Watson Is scheduled to leave tonight. Taggart will return from Indianapolis today and Murphy and Smith, sunburned by hours of golfing, will leave Friday. Claims Wife Kissed Men Guests at Home LOS ANGELES, .Tune 17. Mrs. Helen B.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using It to keep their hair a good, even color, which Is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appenrance Is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the niussy mixing at home.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. but what delights the ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.— AdverUsem eat.

MAN’S OWN POISON CAUSES RHEUMATISM,JSAYS AUTHORITY Smashes Many Foolish Fallacies —The Idea That Eating Meat Causes Rheumatism Is No Longer Accepted—Should Keep the Poisons Moving Out.

“Man poisons himself by the absorjttion of certain substances that should be eliminated—this is the cause of so much rheumatism,'' is the statement of wellknown authority. Many pet theories about rheumatism of the joints, that is chronic arthltls, have been smashed during the last few years. The old idea of meat causing rheumatism is ridiculous; just think of the large number of vegetarians who suffer from rheumatism —these people never eat meat. CASES have been known where people living entirely without meat were great sufferers from rheumatism. These people would go so long without meat they would become so weak they would not have sufficient strength to threw off the disease. Just as soon as they began eating meat once a day they began to improve, and with the help of a good medicine like Dreco were well in a short time. Great harm has been done by the or dinary rheumatism medicines because they not only disturb the stomach, but often fal! to relieve the pain or-'contain something that relieves the pain for the time being, and the disease Is as bad or worse after taking such medicine.

There are a great many medicines ou the market for rheumatism, but do you remember seeing anything about taking care of rheumatism of the joints the patient has had the disease for #*7 eral years? Dreco is a remody that many sufferers take after they have tried about every- 1 thing else for rheumatism. No claim is made that one bottle, or two. will cure the disease, but it removes every particle of stiffness and every twinge of pain If you keep it up. Mr. D. H. Fulton, postoffice box 820, Detroit, Mich., says: “I know what Dreco has accomplished where the Joints were swollen. I know what Dreco has accomplished for dry Joints, so dry that they creaked when going up or downstairs. I know what Dreco has accomplished for actual cripples, walking on canes or crutches. It has made these people well and happy, and should do the same for you. I want every rheumatism sufferer to go today and get a bottle of Dreco.” Mr. 'Williamson, the well-known Dreco expert, has headquarters nt Clark A Cade’s Claypool hotel drug store to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy.
