Mr. Beveridge stated that whereas records at the state house prove that revenue was collected on upward of 15.000 pints of whiskey and adequate taxes were collected on other alcoholic beverages, during the same period. something appeared radically wrong in the wine collections. Mr. Beveridge’s speech here was one of a series he has made in the state since announcing his candidacy on the Republican ticket as a legislative candidate. He is one of a group of eleven progressive Republicans who have banded themselves together on a platform of “clean government.” In his speech last night, Mr. Beveridge recommended abolition of the “dictatorial powers of the Governor"; reduction of gasoline taxes and auto license fees; reorganization of the state police force on a nonpolitical merit system; abolition of the alleged political “monopolistic liquor control set-up,” and that useless laws be abolished and legal procedure speeded up.

100 FACE TRIAL IN EXPOSE OF STAVISKY FRAUD High and Low of Nation Are Accused of Part in Huge Swindle. The wheels of French Jostiee are slowly jrindinc oat (he painful stnrv of (he most shocking scandal of post-war France—(.'Affaire Staviskr. It may ha month* before the entire story is told. In the following artiele, twelfth and concluding store in the tailed Tress series, the extent of Stariskr'i dealings in high plaees and with high personages, is revealed. RY SAMUEL DASHIEI.L AND THOMAS (OPE l nitrd Press Staff Correspondents 'Copyright. 1934, by United Pressi PARIS, May s.—Deputies, lawyers, a mayor, editors, blackmailers and plain confidence men are in jail charged with conspiracy in the super-scandal which caused the downfall of two French cabinets and brought Fiance near to bloody revolution—the Staviskv affair. Perhaps by fall, France may have washed all her political dirty linen and the public—and the govern-ment-will feel at liberty to breathe easily once more. But it is expected that at least one hundred defendants will be found on the prisoners’ benches when the trials begin. Two parliamentary inquisitions are under way. One seeks to find the parliamentary guilt of complicity With Serge Alexandre Staviskjr. The o'her is determining the responsibility for the "bloody Tuesday" rioting of February 6. A third, magisterial inquiry, is endeavoring to trace the authorities’ laxity in permitting Stavlsky’s frauds of 1926 to go unpunished. Meanwhile, the inquiries led through a trail of slush funds amounting to 125.000,000 francs, with which the master criminal bought silence, protection, influence and good-will. There were three thousand checks in his category. Thus far, there have been twen-ty-seven indictments, although seven of these indicted have been given their freedom provisionally. Os these, the most prominent (the small fry are excluded from the list) are:
Crook's Lawyer Accused Gaston Bonnaure, deputy and lawyer, charged with receiving stolen goods. He was S avisky's legal adviser. Joseph Garat, mayor of Bayonne, former deputy, charged with fraud and complicity. Gustave Tissier, director of the Bayonne municipal pawnship, charged with fraud, receiving stolen goods, and abuse of confidence. Guiboud-Ribaud, lawyer attached to finance ministry. Complicity. A1 Nieman, boxer and Stavisky’s bodyguard. Receiving stolen goods. Albert Dubarry. editor of Volonte. Charged with accepting subsidies. Pierre Darius, editor of Bee et Ongles (beak and claws). Receiving stolen moneys. Camille Aymard. journalist, exdirector of the conservative La Liberte;; charged with receiving subsidies. General on List General Bardi de Fourtou (his name stricken from the army list by Marshal Petain*. charged with being a director ir. fraudulent companies. Louis Constantin, general inspector of the ministry of commerce. Fraud. Commissioner Bayard, of thosecret service. Charged with furnishing Stavisky with a police card which gave him an official status. The reports of the various investigating commissions are expected this month. They may bring further scandalous announcements, involving more high officials. Whatever happens, L'Affaire Stavisky will dominate French minds for months to come. THE END.
