Under the terms of the treaty Cflba is to use her police force to help pre vent illegal departure of vessels car tying immigrants and liquor. One of the most favored methods employed by rum runners is to char ter a schooner under Central American registry, ship a large crew, com posed mostly of aliens desirous of entering the United States, take a largo cargo of liquor aboard, and clear for a Central American port. With the mainland of Florida a scant 200 miles away, it is a compartlvely easy matter to land fthe cargo on some de serted stretch of beach. Six small schooners under Central American registry were recently detabled in Havana harbor by harbor police, acting on information furnished by the American Embassy. The embassy claimed the vessels were rum runners. An indication of the extent to which the illegal traffic lias grown was revealed when an expedition, composed of approximately Q.no hun dred Poles; Russians and Spaniards, was surprised by rural gaurds while en route in an automobile caravan to a rendezvous with smugglers at a small port fifteen miles from Havana. After a pitched battle between smugglers 'and rural guards, fortytwo of the would-be citizens of the United States were captured. The prisoneds declared they had made arrangements through,a smusglin_ ring in Havana, composed of two Americans and three Cubans.

The death toll may go as high as 500 lives. * Lamiforn & Cos., Inc., BUgar dealers, estimated that five hundred million pounds of sugar had been lost in Havana province. All Hershey sugar plants were among those destroyed. The bodies of nine Negroes and one white man, the latter believed to be an American, were recovered from the bay. Intense heat and scarcity of water is causing suffering. The newspaper, Herald of Cuba, said the loss would reach one hundred million dollars, and that a typhus epidemic is threatened in the interior. A dispatch from. Matanzas to the newspaper Marima said that eight persons were known to be dead there and that Batabano City, on the south coast. had “disappeared." Batabano had a population of about 2,000.

I will hold tho hearings open until tomorrow, Friday night.

Indicative of Methods The apparent attempt to place Senator Reed In an attitude of being unfair to a colleague and the omission from the statements by Senator Watson to the press that he had received a telegram fsom Senator Reel sent before Ida first telegram is but another indication of the methods used to bolster up the Watson fortunes. As the telegrams reveal. Sen ator Reed informed his colleagues of tho evidence, made the courteous offer to come, made every effort to be not only fair, but to abandon his own plans, turn back about fifteen witnesses who had been summoned to Chicago in order to give Watson the earliest opportunity to tell his story. < DINOSAUR TOOTHACHES Bu T'nitrd Rnx* WASHINGTON, Oet. 21. —The prehistoric dinosaur had toothache tlie same as we do, and the three toed horse of 1,500,000 years ago had pyorrjiea, Dr. Riley D.

Junior Indiana Senator Says He Does Not Know Who Order Is Aiding. ‘OF MY OWN KNOWLEDGE’ Denies Any Information on K. K. K. Activities. Senator Arthur R. Robinson today told Senator James A. Reed that he did not know “of my own knowledge” who the Ku-Klux Klan is supporting in tlie present campaign. The phrase, * “of my own knowledge,” was added by Robinson to a standardized reply, "I don't know,” he made to nil questions Reed asked him concerning the Klan. Robinson was questioned by Senator Reed, who came to Indianapolis to continue Iris investigation of Indiana politics begun in Chicago, Monday. To Leave Today Reed, who is acting in investigation as chairman of the Senate sluch fund committee, is expected to leave the city late Uoday. The Senator said he did not believe it would be necessary to return to continue the probe. After taking a statement from Sen a tor James E. Watson at Methodist Hospital, Reed adjourned his investigation hearing to Federal Court In the Federal Bldg. Robinson was the only witness this morning. Reed was seated behind a desk at the north of the judge's l>ench while Robinson took a chair directly in front of him. Tlie two Senators both rose and Senator Reed administered the oath of a witness to Indiana's junior Senator. Reed at once launched into an explanation of the procedure. “The senatorial investigating committee has entered into Indiana political affairs chiefly because Republican State Chairman Clyde A. Walo said the State was flooded 'with money by the Democratic State committee or someone else, this money to be used in the Interest of the Democratic ticket. “That statement seemed to call for investigation.

“Both the Republican and Democratic State-chairmen were called to Chicago. Certain other witnesses also appeared. “In the course of their testimony, statements made seemed to concern the activities of Senators Watson and Robinson. “I deemed it only, fair to afford the two Senators the fullest opportunity to meet these (charges. Therefore I wired both iSenators identi cal messages to the effect that they were both at liberty to appear and make such statements as they wished.” At this remark Senator Robinson, who was seated crosslegged, nodded approval. quotes Record Then Senator Reed quoted from the Congressional Record, the an thority of his committee to Invest! gate political conditions. Another subpoena was issued for Chairman Walb today, and he will probably Ire one of the witnesses who will be again Interviewed later in the day at the Federal building. Mrs. W. F. Lockhart, who was instrumental in gathering a group of bankers, ministers and business men to hear Dr. Robinson. Libbey, named by Walb as one of the conspirators, was also subpoenaed to tell of Jiis appearance here last Monday and the treatment afforded by the police department. Police, under Mayor Jolip L. Duvall's orders, intended to stop Libby's speech until they learned of the high standing of the audience. Smith to Be Called W. Lee Smith, Indiana grand dragon of the Klan, was expected to be one of the witnesses before Reed here. During the trip from Chicago to Indianapolis Reed indicated that he was anxious to have Smith before the committee. James V. Bolen of Anderson, formerly State secretary of the Klan, an office known as grand I-Cligraph: George Meyers, formerly connected with the Secretary of State’s office, Rollie Granger, associated with tlie State fire marshal's office, and Milton Elrod, also were expected to be subpoenaed. Milton Elrod was editor of the Fiery Cross, the former Klan newspaper circulated in Indianapolis and Indiana. Mrs*Wheatcraft Sought In event that Mrs. Vivian Wheatcraft, vice chairman of the Republican State committee, does not appear before the committee in reply to the telegraphic supoena sent her, Senator Reed probably will question her at Kansas City over the weekend. It was believed that he also will quiz Joseph Meyers, Jr., former Indianapolis newspaper man. then Indiana representative of the League of Nations Nonpartisan Association, now editor of a Christian Church Taper in Kansas Ct4y. Meyers was d\ - uwn into the tangle by Clyde Walb, Republican State chairman, who was on the stand at the Inquiry in Chicago Thursday. INSURANCE MEN TO ELECT Bu United Press , * ANDERSON, Ind..

TWO CENT’S

Senior Senator Uses an Hour Before Reed to Deny ‘lnferences.’ COURTESY IS UNUSUAL Missouri Solon Goes Out of Way for Colleague. Senatoy James E. "Watson, giving his testimony from his room at the Methodist hospital, today denied that he had ever had any deals with Klan leaders, and explained the friendship of those leaders by his vote on the World Court and other questions. The Senator was shown not only the extreme of senatorial courtesy but Unusual consideration because of the conditions surrounding his testimony. Senator Reed,- alone with a stenographer, look his statement and asked few questions. Denies Klan Membership The Watson defense to the testl mony of various Klan leaders that Ihey had been deposed by Wizard Evans because of, their refusal to carry out the bargain made with George V. Collin, Marlon County G. O. P. boss, under which there would be support for Watson In return for votes for Robinson was” that of ignorance of Klan workings and a denial of membership in the Klan. Watson was permitted to put lulu the record a reference to the conditions of 1924, although Senator Reed had limited other witnesses to the present year, when he put on record a denial that he‘had laid any relations with D. C. Stephenson, the political czar of that time, and then the deirosed dragon. Watson took this occas.on to emphasize his statement that he had never seen Stephenson alone hut once, and that was a call by Stephenson which had no political significance.

Says He Made No Deal Specifically, he denied that lie had made a deal with the Klan for the presidency, in return for his favorable action in the ease of Senator Mayfield of Texas, known as “the best Klansman.” Watson denied bargains with William F. Zumbrun, Klan lobbyist, or with Evans, and skirted the present conditions with the explanation that his official acts had endeared him to the Klan leaders. . Just after he walked into Watson's room, Senator Reed said that before he was receiving testimony at Chicago charges were made, directly and indirectly, that large sums were being expended in elections in Indiana. -He further said that, certain statements were ninde that Senators Watson and Robinson should be given a chance to answer. “I did not know Senator Watson was so Hi.” he said. “Because of his illness I wanted to give Senator Watson and Senator Robinson a chance to give their sides of the question, because of the nearness of the election.” Before making his statement, Watson thanked Senator Reed for coming to Indianapolis and said he was “greatly obliged” for the courtesy extended to him. The Missouri Senator then sal down at the side of Watson's bail and Watson opened his statement, punctuating it with arm hertures that he uses when on tho platform. Watson’s Story Watson's testimony: "I have no knowledge concerning the matter to which Chairman Walb > testified. I had heard rumors of this, but I was busy in my campaign and did not run them down.
