cers and crew of the Orduna, ac
cording to the testimony.
i Bar Never Closed
The witnesses. Including federal
agents and members -of the crew,
declared the Orduna's bar never
was closed in port.'
' At the outset of the proceedings'
E. J. Berwind, American and Brit
ish coal operator and .financier,
posted a $1,000,000 bond so the
Orduna" might -continue in trans
Atlantic, passenger service. She Is
scheduled to sail for Hamburg to
morrow with 144 passengers.
Charles Dawe, the ship's store
keeper and one of the seven mem
bers of her crew to plead guilty of
Illegally. Importing liquor, was the
government's principal witness.
He testified that in his three years
on the Orduna liquor had been sold
aboard, her every time she reached
the port of New York, ' He declar
ed the liquor was brought In un
der seal,' the seals -were broken
when the vessel docked, the liquor
disposed of to bootleggers and the
storeroom re-sealed. r :
Dawe identified Joseph Smith,
one of the f revenue agents who
raided the ship and one of the gov
ernment's chief witnesses today as
a bootlegger who often had pur
chased liquor on the Odruna. .
Smith, preceding Dawe on the
stand, said he was a' truck driver
until ha became a federal liquor
agent last January. ' While still
driving trucks he had seen bootleg
gers laden with liquor leave - the

said'. , ' , T

of ;whfskey at '$35 a case from
Storekeeper Dawe and his linen
'man, and that Oyler bought seve
ral ounces of a narcotic dtujr.
Smith also testified that he and
Oyler last Tuesday arranged with
Dawe "to buy all the champagne,

Twenty-Five of Crew Lost
During Storm Off Hatteras
Tuesday Night
BALTIMORE, March 14. Ten
stolid, bleary-eyed sailormen, clad
in nondescript clothing, filed down
the gang plank of the Norwegian
steamer Cissy, rwhlcti docked here
today.
They are the only known sur
vivors of the crew of 35 of the
big Ward line freighter Santiago,
sunk in the blizzard off Hatteras
Tuesday night.
They brought a tale of ship bat
tered by storms for three days,
suddenly turning over and going
down with her captain lashed to
the bridge, her engineer and his
assistant down in the hull, and
others of the crew scrambling for
boats.
Ten stokers were trapped In the
f ireroom.
' The Glssy picked up the ten sur
vivors Wednesday afternoon after
they had clung to their capsized
lifeboat for hours. When they
left the Santiago there were 11,
but when the boat overturned, one
was washed away.
Two boats were launched but
only one succeeded in getting
away. :

Time Yet Uncertain
WASHINGTON-. March 14.
More sensations the most lurid
Of the lot yet developed tumbled
today into the record of the sen
ate committee Investigating Attor
ney General Dangherty.
Gaston B. Means, former inves
tigator for the department of jus
tice, and man of many adventures.
who described his present busi
nesa as "answering indictments,'
testified that he was the "money
carrier" for Jess W. Smith in vari
ous deals implying corruption.
He told a startling tale of col
lections of money for Smith in
sums ranging from 35,000 to
$100,000. and before he finished
had brought , Secretary Mellon's
name into a story about permits
for whiskey withdrawals, and said
he had even once investigated At
torney General Dangherty himself
for the late President Harding.
Charged Unfounded
Means was careful to say that
the charges against the attorney
general which he investigated
then, he found to be without any
foundation in fact. He also dis
claimed that in his testimony to
day about Smith's alleged money
collections, he had any knowledge
of the attorney general being in
volved, or receiving any of the
money collected for. Smith or one
"WTT. Underwood, whom henamed
in that connection.
At no time, in his story of money
collections, did Means identify the
people he said he got It from.
Specifically, Means testified that
In February, 1922, at Smith's di
rection, at the old Bellevue hotel
In Washington he collected $100,
000 in thousand-dollar bills from
an unnamed Japanese representing
Mitsui & Co., Japanese bankers,
who brought it on behalf of the
Standard Aircraft corporation to
halt government action toward re
covery of over-payments aggregat
ing $6,000,000 on war contracts.
The witness said that Smith came
n the night and took the money
from him.
Means further testified that at
other times he collected from per
sons he did not name, snms total
ing about $50,000 which he said
were for Smith and his associates,
who in .turn, he said, were pro
tecting the owners of the Carpen-tier-Dempsey
fight films -from
prosecution when they transported
and exhibited them in interstate
commerce. The owners, of the
fight films. Means testified, were
Smith, "Jap" Mumtf, New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Will Orr, former private
secretary to Former Governor
Whitman of New York, and one
Howard Mannington.
Other collections. Means said,
were made by him for -Smith on
account of whiskey withdrawal
permits, and turned over to Smith,
but he had not named the amounts
nor given specifications when the
committee adjourned until tomor
row. When he returns to the stand
Means is to be pressed for details.
Senator Wheeler was uncertain
tonight whether Means would re
sume the stand tomorrow or
whether Roxie Stinson, divorced
wife of Smith, for whom Means
was substituted today because
Miss Stinson was ill, would con
tinue her testimony.

Chief Prosecutor Suffers With
Rad Cold Condition Not
Serious
WASHINGTON, March 14.
The oil committee took a suddeu
recess today until next Tuesday
because of the illness of Senator
Walsh of Montana, its chief prose
cutor. A cold from which the senator
has suffered for some time de
veloped into a slight bronchial
trouble and his physician advised
him to rest. It was stated that
his condition was not serious and
that be should be able to resume
his duties next week.
Until Senator Walsh returns the
order of procedure in the inquiry
will be undetermined. There are
several phases remaining, includ
ing the report of auditors who
examined the books of stock brok
erase firms; examination of wit
nesses relating to the story of
Leonard Wood. Jr.. regarding a!
leged attempts at "oil deals" dur
ing the republican convention at
Chicago in 1920; and I he ques
tion of Harry F. Sinclair.
During the day President Cool-
idge transmitted to the senate
copies of diplomatic correspond
ence passing between the Ameri
can and Colombian governments
regarding the Colombian treaty,
but there was nothing to show
that Albert B. Fall, as secretary
of the interior, had influenced
the administration's course in urg

pending convention in 1921.

"Well, I wanted to quit anyhow
and now is a good time," remark
ed Mrs. Mabel Cordpva to Deputy.
Warden J. W. Lillie as the latter
took from the latest female pris
oner a package of cigarettes upon
her arrival at the prison. Deputy
Warden Lillie, after relieving the

arettes and was surprised when
his request was granted.
Mrs. Cordova is a federal .pris

years and six months for forgery
of postoffice money orders. She
was indicted on six counts, receiv

though the sentences will run con
currently. She is of Spanish de

prison is increased to seven. The
state, in the capacity of boarding-

Future Program for Stale to
Re Based Upon Report
of Commission
PORTLAND, Ore.1, March 14.
The future program of irrigation
and reclamation in Oregon will be
based upon the findings and re
commendations of a' commission
to be appointed jointly by the
Portland and state chambers of
commerce and given the unre
served support and cooperation of
all irrigation districts of the state
seeking federal aid, it was agreed
at a meeting today attended by
representatives of the Baker,
Umatilla. Owyhee, Warm Springs,
Harney Valley and Deschutes pro
jects, the Portland chamber and
the state body.
The meeting sounded a new
note of harmony in the reclama
tion a. f fairs of Oregon. Through
out the day the committee and
individual progressed step by step
until late in ttm afternoon by
unanimous vote the report, of the
advisory body, which had been
asked by the two chamber orga
nizations, was adopted by the M&
tricts. This agreement provided for
elimination of contention among
the districts, one against the
other, and for united action by all
in support of the program to be
laid down by the commission
which is to be created.
ARE RESTRICTED
Females at Penitentiary to
V D r.. r r i r--
dc rut un equal oasis
With the JVIen
women prisoners at the state
prison are being put on the same
Dasis as the men prisoners and
will soon be equipped with uni
form clothing, probably of calico
or some other cheap cloth, accord
lag to plans being worked out by
J. W." Lillie, deputy warden, who
has received permission from War
den A. M. Dalrymple to proceed
along the line he has in mind
"So far the women prisoners,
all of them federal prisoners, have
hardly known they were in pris
on," Deputy Warden Lillie said
yesterday. "They have dressed as
they saw fit. This was not so bad
as long as we had only one or two,
but now that we have seven wo
men and prospects of one or two
more soon, there is going to be a
change."
Some time ago the practice of
relieving women prisoners of all
jewelry. Including rings, was
adopted. Gradually the restric
tions are being placed upon them
until they will enjoy no more
privileges- than are accorded the
male inmates of the Institution.
The me.ri are permitted to spend
$2.50 monthly for luxuries and to
place their orders once a month:
Mrs. T. E. Cornelius, matron, has
been obliging and has gone down
town for purchases requested by
her charges. These are getting
too numerous, according to Deputy
Warden Lillie, and It is time' to
call a halt. In the future the wo
men will be required to use prison
stationery and write on one side
of the paper only instead of using
both sides.
There is little work for the wo
men at the prison and. thpy are
occupied by scrubbing and keeping
their own quarters in shape. Ex
ercise is obtained by short walks
in charge of Mrs. Cornelius. When
one or twoare taken at a time
she is unaccompanied, but when
several of the women are exercis
ed at the same time she is gen
erally accompanied by a guard
The women have individual rooms,
with heavy metal screens instead
of bars. They are securely lock
ed for the night at 8:30 o'clock
With the male prisoners, though
they sit in a body by themselves,
they are permitted to attend the
weekly shows in the prison audi
torium,

LETTER TO WHEELER
GIVEN OUT BY DAVIS
Assistant Attorney General
Gave Senator Informa
tion of Fight Films
WASHINGTON, March 14. At
lomey General Dangherty tonight
made a general public denial of
the insinuations against him made
in testimony before the senate in
vestlgatlng committee. "Any in
ference, direct or Indirect," he
said, "that I ever participated in
any way with the late Jess Smith
or any ono else, for a consider
ation, either monetary, political
or social, In any dishonorable way
in connection with the adminis
tration of the liquor laws, or any
other laws is false and untrue."
Miss Stinson Scored
The attorney general then pro
ceeded to deny in detail in a for
mal statement the inferences as to
wrong doing on his part, contain
ed in the testimony of Roxie Stin
son, Smith's divorced wife, whom
Mr. Daugherty described as "a
disappointed woman who blames
me because her divorced husband
did not -make her sole legatee un
der his will."
He declared he had no interest
whatever, with Colonel James G.
Darden in his western oil com
pany, that he had not been a party
to any speculation to make money
out of violations of the law or out
of the showing of prize fight
films; -and that Jess Smith never
approached him at any time on
the subject of clemency for fed
eral prisoners.
"On several occasions," he con
tinued, "it has been intimated by
persons ostensibly acting for Miss
Roxie Stlnsdn that for a consid
eration her silenee could be pur
chased and any documents in her
possession could be delivered, all
of which deliberate and serious
attempts at blackmail have been
absolutely and unconditionally re
jected.
Copy of Letter Given
The series of statements began
with a copy of a letter regarding
fight film prosecutions from As
sistant Attorney General Earl J
Davis to Senator Wheeler, the in
vestigation prosecutor. It was
dated February 19, and an accom
panying statement by the depart
ment Raid:
"Mr. Wheeler has had this letter
and a report accompanying it. It
would seem that a story attempt
ing to implicate the attorney gen
eral with a plan to profit by the
use and shipment of films would
fall and fall before this report.
Senator Wheeler has not seen fit
to make the letter or the report
public."
The letter follows:
"My Dear Senator:
"In compliance with your re
quest over the telephone for a list
of Dempsey-Carpentier prize film
cases which have been prosecuted
to a conclusion as well as of those
in process of prosecution I beg
herewith to enclose with the ap
proval of the attorney general the
information asked for you so far
as it is disclosed by the records
of the department.
"Because of the methods adopt
ed by those who were interested
in the interstate movement of this
film, speaking generally there was
no occasion lor the United States
attorneys to communicate with
the department with respect there
to. For this reason it is deemed
not improbable that there are
other cases in which fines have
been imposed of which the depart
ment has no record. The method
of-these people was for some one
to approach the United States at
torney and make known to him
that he had such a film and ask
about exhibiting it. When told
that there had been a violation of
law in taking the film from one
state to another, some person
would offer to plead guilty. As a
general rule the department did
not hear of the cases until after
they had been disposed of in court.
But, owing to the similarity of
procedure followed by those inter
ested in the enterprises the de
partment became convinced that
it was the result of a concerted
action.
