E TO LIGHTNER The Store of True Values, Quality 'Merchandise, Low Prices, Superior Service THE MORXING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1922 MAD U. S. Agent Says Proposal Was Turned Down. STORY OF DEAL DENIED F. B. Mitchell, Attorney for Dry law Enforcers, Declares No Promise Given. Denial that either Dr. 'J. A. Un ville, federal prohibition director, or any of his officers, made an im munity deal with Dave Lightner, recently brought back from the orient to answer charges of viola tion of the federal narcotics act, was made yesterday by F. B. Mitchell, legal adviser for Dr. Lin ville's department. It had been said by Lightner that, through an arrangement with Dr. Linville. he had been assured in fluence would be directed toward the mitigation of charges against him. In return, Lightner declared, upon his arrival in this city from Shanghai, in an interview given at the county jail, he mas to yield valuable information to the federal officers respecting the presence of $100,000 worth of narcotics on the Japanese steamer Meiwu Alaru, which entered the river last June. , Lightner Accompanies Raiders. The raid was tne.de by officers of Dr. Linville's squad, with Lightner accompanjnng them, but it is claimed that previous information from independent sources had already reached the federal office respecting the contraband .drugs and liquor on board the vessel. Lightner's dickering with the fed eral officers, it is said, had never been with Dr. Linviile, as he had told his story to Jesse Flanders of the prohibition director's office. "All arrangements were made with Mr. Flanders." said Mr. Mitchell yesterday. "No immunity was promised Lightner. For that matter the information he offered us was already in our possession. I personally conducted the raid on the Meiwu Maru. Our previous informa tion as to the narcotics, on board . came from Darry O'Mara, a cripple. . Delayiner Trial Refused. "The day after the raid Lightner came to our office and asked us to endeavor to get his trial postponed, so that he could help us raid an other ship. He talked with me at that time, "and not with Dr. Lin viile. I accompanied him to the office of Federal -District Attorney Humphreys, where he repeated the proposal, which was rejected. When he walked out, having been told that his trial could not be postponed under any conditions, that was the last we saw of him until he was re turned from China." Lightner, in jail, has repeatedly insisted that he was being made the scapegoat of others and that if pressed to a complete exposure he would make revelations that would prove uncomfortable for many now unsuspected. The Housewife's Idea Box I I s r Y4 8 To Cleanse a Pot I'ned In Making; Candy. It is often difficult to cleanse the pot in which candy or icing has been cooked. To prevent this difficulty fill the pot with water immediately after the candy has been removed. Put on the lid and allow the water to boil. The steam loosens the sticky substance from the side of the uten sil and makes the pot easy to clean. THE HOUSEWIFE. Correct English: Quiz. A Daily A Dally Quia.
