Bu United Press ROME, March 19—Italy was not alarmed today over reports that Jugo-Slavian troops were engaged in maneuvers which practically amounted to mobilization.

A telephone message from Belgrade to Vienna today said an official Jugo-Slav communique denied the story of military preparations printed in the Giornal d’ltalia of Rome. The communique described the story as “pure invention.” CLASH REPORTED NEAR Pwies to Move Against Lithuanians, Rumor in Berlin.

WIT SENATOR WENT DRY VIA HIJACKROUTE? Washington Also Asking If Members of Congress Drink. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, March 19.—Published charges that “a Senator” owned liquor hijacked recently on Washington’s outskirts set the capitals humming today with these queries: “Who was the Senator?” and "Do members of Congress drink?” The answer to the fh'St question was not forthcoming. Usually communicative prohibition authorities were silent. One said it would “cost him his job” if he revealed the owner’s name. But the gossip went that the Senator is wealthy, socially prominent, and famed for the good brand of liquor served at his dinners. All of which caused Interrogators to pass the second question, “Do members of Congress drink?” A prominent dry organization official told the United Press he personally knew of thirty-five Senators who didn’t, but he was noncommittal as to the thirsts of the others.. Ex-Representative Upshaw (Dem., Ga.), until recently one of the most ardent drys in Congress, made a memorable plea to his colleagues sometime ago that all who voted dry should “sign the pledge”—inferring that some dry voters were wet drinkers. Singing his “swan song” at the close of the last session, Upshaw brandished an empty liquor bottle which he said he had found In the. House office building. Existence here of a “Third House of Congress”—a lobby—was charged today by the People’s Legislative Service. This house, said the service, patronizes “the most exclusive bootleggers who purport to supply only ‘genuine diplomatic stocks’ of whisky, gin and wines, and- they are like an oasis in the desert to thirsty solons in search of a drink. With the aid of friends they can throw a lively party at one of the* swell roadhouses on a moment's notice whenever an evening’s entertainment seems desirable to bring some Senator or Congressman into line.”

WOMAN VICTIM OF WAR FACES 3-DAY OPERATION Viola Lynch Will Go Through Ordeal Without Anesthetic —Tragic Story Recalled.

Bn United Priss DENVER, Col., March 19.—Climaxing a series of war Mrs. Viola Lynch, 31, was lying on an operating table here today to undergo seventy-two hours of continuous work by doctors and nurses without the aid of an anesthetic. The tragic story of Mrs. Lynch dates back ten years ago, when, as Viola Dailey, she went to war with the Rainbow Division as an immigration official. Two weeks after her arrival in France she was summoned to bring in a soldier from the battlefield. The doughboy was her brother—dead of shrapnel wounds. Before she could recover from the shock, her sister, a Red Cross nurse, was carried in from the field dying from bullet wounds. Shell-Shattered Face For thirty-eight months she remained in France. She joined the lost battalion of 380 soldiers, which returned with only eighteen men. While riding a supply wagon in a bombardment she was struck in the fact by a shell and for months lay between life and death, her speech, sight and hearing gone. Added to her troubles she received word that another brother had returned, after being taken prisoner by the Germans, and had been horribly mutilated for refusing t divulge the location of American troops. “My brother swallowed the message they hoped to get,” she said simply. Sht, returned to the United States in November. 1920, to learn of the djath of her brother and his wife.

STORM READ MAI BE 3S; HAVOC GREAT Denver and Green Forest. Arkansas Towns, Literally Wiped Out. THOUSANDS SUFFERING Without Homes, Victims Wander in Rain. Bn United Press LITTLE ROCK. Ark., March 19. —Possibility that the death toll In two devastating tornadoes which swept northern Arkansas during the last fot'ty-eight hours would go to more than thirty-five was seen today with reports of death and destruction continually pouring in. Communication facilities have been disrupted and it is almost impossible to get any definite figures on the loss of life or property damage in the area. The towns of Denver and Green Forest are literally obliterated, according to word here. Entire communities, hundreds of farmers, small town residents are all without shelter from the driving intermittent rainfall. Bodies of domestic animals are scattered throughout the district. Chickens are featherless, sometimes lodged between limbs in trees, unable to extricate themselves. Fences are lying along roadways. Telephone wires are down. SNOW IN MOUNTAIN AREA Northern and Central States of Rookies Under White Blanket. Bn United Press DENVER, Colo., March 19. Northern and Central Rocky Mountain States were buried under snow again today. Fear that lines of traffic would be tied up was expressed as a blinding snow storm of tyjzzard proportions swept down front Montana and left Denver with four inches of snow and lowered temperature. Automobiles moved slowly in Denver and all through the night snow sveepers cruised the streets to keep street car tracks open. Many accident* wero reported due to the slippery streets. Their Honor Saved by Prison Sentence Although sentenced to serve eighteen months each in Federal penitentiary at Ft. Leavenworth, Walter H. Spencer, 20, of Louisville, and Charlie H. Craig, 22, of Jefferson County, Kentucky, are happy today. For their honor has been saved. The youths, both deserters from the United States Army at Ft. Benjamin Harrion, were sentenced by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell on plea* of guilty to intra-State automobile theft. They admitted that while on furlough they had stolen a car and made a trip through the East. “Send us to the penitentiary, your honor,” they begged, “for If we are returned to the army authorities they will give us dishonorable discharges as deserters. Nothing Is worse than that.” Tffieir request granted, the youths will receive a “discharge without honor,” differentiating in a lesser degree from the disgrace of a straight “dishonorable discharge.”

A broher-in-law, who met her at the boat in San Francisco, dropped ’’dead of a heart attack. A few days later her sister was killed by an auto, and in May, 1921, her mother died. Recovered Senses Physicians in San Francisco ' extended little hope for her recovery, but a noted specialist in 1924 grafted skin on her face, put in new palates, strung a set of teeth to her jaws and remodeled her fallen nose. Two days later her speech, sight and hearing were restored. Just when she thought her troubles were over, she received word that her brother, who had been taken prisoner by the Germans, had died. Shortly thereafter, Viola Dailey met Jim Lynch, a war veteran, and they were married in the Philippines. They returned to the United States and jeame to Denver. * The operation today will permanently repair her shattered face, Mrs. Lynch has been assured.

DEARTH’S WITNESS LIST DWINDLES AS ATTEMPTS TO UK HEM Ft Senators Firm in Decision to Go Ahead • 4 With Impeachment Trial Here Monday SPEEDY PROCEDURE EXPECTED Twenty-Five Instead of 300 Subpoenaes Issued for Muncie Judge Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth’s widely advertised witness list of 300 persons for his impeachment trial before the Indiana Senate hero Monday dwindled to twenty-five today when the subpoenaes finally were handed to Jerome K. Brown, chief doorkeeper of the SeSnate, at Muncie. This fact, coupled with the announcement that the House of Representatives board of managers, prosecuting Dearth, have announced they would have not over twenty witnesses, bo-re out the prediction that Dearth’s trial will be speedy. It appeared likely that the trial will be completed within next week.

Meanwhile developments in the attempt of Dearth’s friends to block the trial through subterfuge here and at Muncie appeared doomed to defeat. It appeared likely that the argument upon a petition to mandate Governor Jackson to name a successor to Dearth, pending the impeachment trial, brought by friends of Dearth in an attempt to get the legality of the impeachment before Supreme Court, would result In no effect whatever upon the constitutionality of the trial. 1 Tricks Fail Likewise, two tricks of Dearth’s friends at Muncie were going for naught. Dearth's friends caused a story to be circulated that witnesses subpoenaed by the prosecution would refuse to come to Indianapolis from Muncie unless their expenses were paid in advance. Wliiie the citizens interested in removing Dearth from the bench cou'd not find any witnesses who would stand back of such a statement the citizens immediately met the trick with the announcement that leading Muncie men were ready to guarantee the necessary cash the moment anyone asked for a guarantee of expenses. The Dearth coterie also circulated a report that the county clerk was worried about whether he should take to the Senate trial the official records proving the charges in the Impeachment that many persons not freeholders were repeatedly drawn for jury service In Dearth’s court. Records to Come Perry Mansfield, the county clerk, answered this rumor himself. Mansfield said that he knows of no bar to his taking the records to the Senate, but that if one should develop he will see that a certified transcript of the records are In the hands of the board of managers in plenty of time for the trial. The persons behind the effort to scare the clerk out appeared to be one Will White, Muncie attorney, close friend of Dearth, father of a former court reporter for Dearth, and father of the present Dearth court reporter. Senators Firm Senators are firm in their stand that the trial should proceed without interference from administrative and judicial branches of the Government. This was the view expressed today by Senators Sumner Clancy (Rep.), Indianapolis, and R. B. Inman (Rep.), Danville, at the Statehouse. Both declared that they could see no reason why anything should interfere with the Senate hearing the evidence as was decided when the motion to proceed with impeachment was rdopted by that body. "We must proceed and see this thing to its logical conclusion,” Senator Inman declared. Clancy stated that he would suggest to Senator Denver C. Harlan (Rep.), Richmond, chairman of the (Turn to Page 13)
