They used the Blank jail pantages trial witness official nabs Biffle in court room of perjury charge los Angeles calif., oct. 17�?up a intimations by District attorney Buron Fitts that perjury charges will by filed against More witnesses in the Case of Alexander pantages heightened interest today in the trial of the theatre magnate on charges of criminally attacking Eunice Pringle 17-year-old dancer. Fitts statement came after a Day of startling turns in the trial featured by the indictment of Garland Biffle first defense witness for pantages on a perjury charge. Biffle was arrested tuesday after he testified he had overheard miss Pringle say to Nicholas Dunnav a writer just before she visited the theatre Many a office on the Day of the asserted attack that pantages would be sorry if he did not Book her vaudeville act. The state contends that Dunnav was not in the theatre at the time referred to by Biffle. Fitts amazed during a court room argument Over the Biffle testimony Fitts asserted that in All his experience he had a never seen such cold blooded deliberate attempts to Sunborn perjury As have been made by Alexander pantages and his son Rodney in this Contention of defense attorneys that Biffle a arrest in the presence of other defense witnesses had been a deliberate attempt by the prosecution to intimidate witnesses Drew an order from the court that any future arrests should not be made in the presence of persons waiting to take the stand. H. Heard optician with offices in the pantages building yesterday testified that Only three or four minutes had elapsed Between the time pantages and miss Pringle went into the Little conference room where she said she was attacked and the time he heard the girls screams. A in room half hour prosecution witnesses previously had testified that they were in the room More than half an hour before the girl ran from the door into the hallway of the theatre building. Previous prosecution testimony that miss Pringle was assisted from the Little office by w. L. Gordon a state witness was hit by heard who said she was alone and standing before the office door when Gordon appeared on the scene. Questions by defense counsel intended to elicit testimony that Dunnav and miss Pringle had been close associates and thus Bear out the defense Contention of a conspiracy to blackmail pantages were successfully opposed by the wins race for Congress seat of his father Willmar minn., oct. 17�?op a Minnesota will continue to have the Only Farmer Lacr party representative in the lower House of Congress.

Or. lobbyists to be probed Senate committee would try to save Wall Street Hicks from graft ability questioned Washington d. C., oct. 17�?the senates lobby investigating committee will devote a part of its attention to the practice known in Washington As a Selling Mem on the the phase describes a Racket As old As the Art of lobbying but one that has lost none of its effectiveness. Indeed to judge from the ease with which William b. Shearer took $50,000 away from the shipbuilders it has became in the last few years More lucrative than Ever. The Success with which it is worked is another proof if any were needed that the likeliest customer for Gold bricks Are to be found not on main Street Chickville but on Wall Street new York. Is refined Art a Selling Mem on the Hoof is a refined Selling of Gold bricks the article of Purchase being the supposed influence of the lobbyist with some Public official. There Are cases of course in which this influence is real and in which the client of the lobbyist May reasonably Hope for a return of his Money but such cases in the sum total of sales Are few and far Between. The chances Are to to one that the lobbyist has no hold on the official whorl he a Sells on the All that the lobbyist has to do is convince his client that he is a on the inside a that he has a a contacts a favorite word in Washington Patter through which he can a get things much of the so called a practice of Law at capital consists in building up a reputation for being on the inside and having these contacts. A reputation of this sort can be made to yield Rich rewards. One Many a Shearer can persuade the shipbuilders of his ability to a a delivery the officers of the Navy against a disarmament plan another pockets a fee for using his influence with a certain Congress Man or group of congressmen another capitalizes his purported a a contacts with the head of a department or Bureau. No limit to sales there is no limit to these a sales Ort the it is within the knowledge of this writer that a lawyer collected a fee from a group of clients who believed he could privately induce a Justice of the United states supreme court to upset a recent somewhat Fame As criminal conviction the thing would be incredible if it Hadnot happened. The technique of acquiring a reputation that will enable sales to be made on the Hoof is fairly simple. A certain noted lawyer now dead made it a noontime custom to be seen with officials of the Wilson administration at the Shoreham hotel. Through the fact that he himself had served in several Federal offices the lawyer had a reputation of a knowing the ropes to Start with. His careful and As Sidkous cultivation of this original asset made him within a few years one of the highest paid paid lawyers in the City. Scotch help a favorite method of impressing a a client is to give him a dinner with two or three senators or other officials As guests. If the Host is known to serve Good liquor officials can always be found for this purpose. A couple of quarts of scotch May thus enable the Host to make a lucrative Sale on the Hoof although his acquaintance with the official guests May be and probably is of the slightest. The coming lobby investigation will serve no doubt a useful Public purpose. It ought also to Lessen the crop of Gullible captains of Industry. It ought to but the chances Are that it wont. One is still being bom every to Board Given confirmation Legge Mckelvie and Williams Are approved in Senate aged horse wins Battle with Olivver by a Kayo Quot old Jack Hicks in Radiator and smashes lights while on Way Home from a Good party a animal is held for owner by Omaha humane society Norris attacks Washington d.

All were approved Early last night after the Senate had Laid aside the Tariff debate and devoted a full Day to discussing their respective merits and qualifications for the important posts to which the chief executive had appointed them. Opposition to three of or. Hoovers appointees Alexander h. Legge representing the Field of finance and business Samuel r. Mckelvie spokesman for the wheat growing Industry and Carl Williams Cotton representative developed but was unable to Block their confirmation. Democratic members for the most part joined with the administration Republican group in supporting the Hoover appointees. Senator Robinson of Arkansas the democratic Leader voted for All of them and expressed the attitude of his party colleagues with an assertion that a responsibility must rest where it belongs and the president be Given the men he had asked to administer the act which he had sponsored. Roll Call votes were taken on Only the three appointees to which there was opposition and the count we As 67 to 13 for Legge 50 to 27 for Mckelvie and 57 to 20 for Williams.

Of violence Breaks out in milk strike Kansas City m., oct. 17�?up a sabotage and threats of death again gave an ugly aspect to the Kansas City milk strike today less than 48 hour after leaders of the striking milk producers assured sheriff Jefferson d. Smedley of their cooperation in stopping vandalism. Dumping of 200 Gallons of milk from two trucks broke a peace which had ruled the strike for two Days. F. Fitzgerald Driver of one of the trucks said that after his Supply of milk was poured in the Road by a band of six men his life was threatened if he made further efforts to run the Highway blockade which has forced most of the distributing plants to transport their milk from Distant Points by Railroad. Killer elephant put on spot slain like gangster Kenedy Texas oct., 17.�? a5 a a taken for a ride by his own Herd mates and a put. On the spot by his human friends of the circus lot Black Diamond rogue elephant who saturday killed a woman at Corsicana Texas was executed Here yesterday. Short machine guns like those employed by gangsters were employed by his executioners. With Tlack diamonds death the circus lost Between ten and fifteen thousand dollars but rid itself of an animal which according to its former Trainer had killed three people. Circus elephant men who conducted the execution yesterday took no chances on a repetition of saturdays tragedy in which the elephant with no apparent provocation seized and crushed to death mrs. Eva Donohoe a Spectator. When a huge grave had been prepared in a cow pasture about two Miles from town the elephants handlers gave him the familiar rallying cry for the Parade and he lumbered into position As he had been accustomed to do for years. Three of his Herd mates were yoked to him with chains to make certain is would not Stampede. A queue of circus people and curious townspeople followed him in his lumbering death March. The elephant a magnificent 31-year old Bull one of the tallest in Captivity was a dramatic figure As he went unsuspecting by to his death and Many of his old friends had tears in their eyes. Near the grave Black Diamond was firmly chained to three Trees. The first burst of Lead fired into the body of the nine ton pachyderm seemed to Puzzle the animal. Another burst made him groggy. He rolled Over slowly and took another Fussi Lade in the body. The executioner then gave Black Diamond the a coup de Grace a single Well directed shot in the brain. According to the theory advanced by h. D. Privett Black diamonds Trainer before he left the circus to work for mrs. Donahoe jealousy and a Long memory were responsible for the tragedy saturday. He said the elephant saw mrs Donahoe with him when he said goodbye to it and to the circus. Prick Etc believed the elephant remembered and charged the woman because he had seen him leave with f her. The former Trainer had gone to the Railroad Yards As the show pulled in and had been allowed to Lead his old charge to the circus lot. It was on this trip that the tragedy occurred. Omaha neb., oct. 17�?an aged horse plodding homeward in the shafts of a timeworn buggy containing his owner another Man and two women successfully defended his Road rights and vanquished a Olivver in an encounter amid the heavy fog that had up cad Over the East Omaha lowlands meeting the Olivver Headon at 1 30 a. In. On Locust Street a Block East of the viaduct the horse reared and planted his front feet on the Hood in the Radiator and smashed the Glass of the headlights with Well directed kicks. Afterwards the Olivver was towed away to a garage for repairs and old Jack the horse ambled away unscathed.

A second Man said to be the owner of old Jack disappeared from the scene of the Accident before police arrived. The three under arrest said they had attended a a Good party in East Omaha. Old Jack is in the hands of the humane society until his owner claims loom anew in Senate farm Aid measure to be tried As rider on Tariff Bill Washington d. C., oct. 17.�? a a the Senate returned today to consideration of the administrative sections of the Tariff Bill with the Prospect of soon waging another contest on the old Issue of Export debentures. Two amendments from the Republican Independent group confronted the administration republicans to were Defeated on the Issue in connection with the farm Bill last Spring. Senator Brookhart Republican Iowa has presented a substitute to a proposal of senator Dorris Republican Nebraska either of which would declare for a debenture rider to the measure. Leaders of the democratic Independent Republican group were confident that they could write the provisions to be added to the farm Bill in the Senate Only to be ultimately removed into the Tariff big administration leaders however were noncommittal. It appeared As the chamber swung again to debate on the administrative provisions after a Day de cd a to debate on president hoovers nominees to the farm Board to almost a week would be required to dispose of the balance of individual amendments to the administrative sections. Until these amendments have been disposed of action on the sixteen rate sections of the Bill can not be undertaken. Brookhart a substitute for the proposal made by senator Norris would provide that the farm Board organize As speedily As possible the proposed stabilization corporations and allot debentures to the corporations fora use in stabilizing prices. The debentures also would be available for payments of losses but could not be utilized for Trade dividends. Senator Norris has proposed on the other hand that certificates amounting to half the Tariff on farm commodities be issued to the the farm Board by the Treasury and used to help the Farmer obtain a better Price for the crops he exports. The coalition expects and the administration group doubts that if the Bill is sent to the House with either the debenture plan or the democratic substitute for the finance committee flexible Tariff policy included one will be retained. There is talk now that the coalition rather than have both proposals eliminated in conference would prefer to have no Tariff Bill at All.7 perish in hotel flames in Seattle Seattle wash., oct. 17�?up a trapped by flames seven persons lost their lives and twelve others were burned or otherwise injured in a fire that swept through the Portland hotel Here Early today.

Gro Bingham in lobby probe senators charge lobbyist was hired As aide on Tariff questions Washington d. C., oct. 17�?op a one verbal clash after another developed Between senator Bingham Republican Connecticut and members of the Senate lobby committee As the former related his employment of Charles l. Eyanson an officer of the Connecticut manufacturers association to assist him on Tariff matters at the time the Tariff Bill was before the Senate finance committee. Bingham said he a possibly made a mistake in hiring Eyanson but insisted he saw nothing improper about it but chairman Caraway argued Eyanson had been serving two masters the government and the association. Replying Bingham said Eyanson had turned Back All Money received from the government and the Only reason he had been placed upon the pay Roll was so he would be under discipline of the Senate. Too sarcastic several times committee members insisted on a yes and not answers by the Connecticut senator who at one juncture told senator Walsh Democrat Montana that if he would a not be so sarcastic he would appreciate it. The witness explained he has asked the association to a a loan him an expert on Tariff who understood the needs of Connecticut As he himself Quot Quot As not familiar with the situation. Walsh estimated the a people of America will contribute by Tariff taxes to the Prosperity of Connecticut $632,000,000.�?� under the pending Bill compared with $556,000,000 under existing Law. The answer to that. Bingham said was that Connecticut contributed More to the Upkeep of the government in Federal taxes than Many Western states.
