(United rrrm Lmm4 Wire. London, Feb. 24. Beirut, subjected to bombardment Saturday by Italian gun boats, is the commercial metropolis of Syria, and the gateway to Damascus. A city of 100,000 souls. It contains no fewer . than 12.000 students In attend ance at 100 educational Institutions, crilef of which ia the Syrian-Protestant college with an enrollment of 600. T.hls is an American school, which through its able work, has coma to ba called tha "Lighthouse of the Turkish Empire." Because of the remarkable educational facilities offered there, Beirut - la re ferred to frequently as' tha Oxford of the orient . ... ' But the city's distinction Is not alona along educational lines. .. As a flour- isning seaport, it is anown me wona over as an export place -for silk, wool. tobacco, olive oil, etc. It, Is located 80 miles northwest of Damascus, standing on a tongue of land that projects Into an open bay leading to the Mediterranean. There are two distinct porta of tha town, tha old and tha new. tha former with Its narrow, dirty streets peopled 5 y the poor, and the tet jreriU-n S :. st ir, ff the prosperity of a ctn:nT;.;l e. a-r-ort. The belter protection af:";r. !.-.! by the foreign powers through their resi dent 'consulates has contributed much to the security and prosperity of the city. In Saturday's bombardment the new part of the city, containing the foreign ers and their Interests escaped harm for the most part. In ancient times Beirut was a large and important Phoenician city, and un der the Romans it wis celebrated, for its school of jurisprudence. The Bytan-tine-emperor, Tbeodoslus II raised it to tha rank of a metropolis. Destroyed by an earthquake in 551, the city arose to considerable slae by tha ,tlme Of the Crusades. At a late data it was long in the possession or the Druses. It was bombarded by tba British and captured in 1540. At this time Its population was 8000, and Its subsequent growth has been due In a large measure to the de velopment of the silk trade. SESSION IN HILL CASE ENDS IN BITTER ROW WITH NO ACTION TAKEN (Continued from Page One.) mitted that, he and Sheriff Mass, who had been working on tha case for months, had not got very far. However, ha insisted, that 'Harvey ba indicted, de claring that after he nurseryman's ar rest a confession probably could be ob tained." ' ... ;' v Mr. Tongue laid ha positively refused to agree to tha proposition and Informed the detective that It was just as much the duty of the grand jury to protect the Innocent as indict the guilty. "1 suggested that Harvey ba arrested uj-on i-'.- ."..-.'.l'.':".," i .. 1 r.'r. T. "I do not thlr.It that a grand Juryman should he arrroaehed ty anyone. I was informed by one Juror that Levlngs had been to him twire and asked that Har vey be indicted on the , evidence ob tained by the detective and Sheriff Mass. The charge that I told the grand Jury not to Indict Harvey Is a d d lie, I was told by Mass that the In dictment of this man would be equiva lent to my reelection as. district attor ney, but I don't play politics that way." District Attorney Tongue said all he did was to explain to the grand Jury what was evidence and what waa not evidence. He declared that he told the Jurors they must dismiss from their minds any prejudice or bias and must be- oblivious of public opinion. ' The prosecutor ald ha told tha jur ors they must forget that Levlngs had ever talked to them, and that ha added: "It Is not a question for you to play politics for me or for Mass, and what ever you do,-the district attorney's of fice will be satisfied." Evidence Against Another Man. "There was evidence before tha Jury," said Mr. Tongue, "that' was mora posi tive and mora direct aga'lnst another man than It was against Harvey and it did not coma from Mass or Levlngs. Tha testimony Was direct. I want to get at tha bottom of this case as much as anyone, but whenever I go before a grand jury and ask it to take a man's life, I want to be aura that I am right I did not advise tha jury one way or another and tha jurors examined' all tha evidence that waa presented. The case would never get to the trial jury on the evidence that waa Introduced." Levlngs, "who followed Mr. Tongue, declared that tha district attorney had done nothing to bring the slayer of the Hill family to Justice. Ha denied many of the statements of Mr. Tongue and said the district attorney waa first to l.ir.d !,,;, i"j 1 1 i.: 1. :. :a he was n.vu-- t. l,v.r. -3 ch that lir. Tor-.gn- concealed this knowledge from She! iff Slass. Lccuns Tocgme of rreju.lice. "Many witnesses went before the grand Jury," said Levlngs, addressing himself to Tongue, "at a personal sacri fice and from a ser.se of duty. You argued every point with them snd be littled every material bit- of testimony. You could not have taken up tba cudgel better for Harvey had you held a brief for him. Witnesses carrle from tha grand Jury room and alleged that you had cast reflections upon their testimony. You have said that no evidence was presented to Connect Harvey with the case. Who, Task you, have spent their time, money and mental effort to find the real slayer and I would like you to draw a comparison for the benefit of this' court as to who haa really tried to get at the bottom of this case. If the grand Jury hadbeen properly instructed I believe it would have returned an In dictment," - ' You are sora,' replied Mr. Tongue. Tou have worked hard on the case and have fallen down." "I think I have a shade tha better of It." retorted Levlngs. , "I have at least tried and you have not" Tha district attorney said that ne never heard testimony that waa testi mony In the case before the grand Jury. Ha declared Levlngs had given him a typewritten outline of tha testimony he had obtained, and that witnesses had refuted it s .Tongue Bays He's tha Croat. "The district attorney stands ready to go to any length to get tha murderer of tha iJHill family" declared Mr. Tongue,'! but I have been made a goat long endugh by Levlngs' presa agents."

"For the past six months the Arden wald people have not had a uermsl night's sleep,", said Mr. Barnes. "Their nerves are unatrung. Mr. Harvey came to my house about 10 days ago when my wife and daughter were alone there.
