"Did he refer to anything you ' might say to the district attor. ney?" "I asked if I could help regard ing what occurred In the little room. Mr. Pantages said: 'I was going down stairs to see you on eome business matter and Miss Pringle was coming down behind me. I found your door locked nd she wanted to talk to me. So I stepped Into the little room to talk and she made a fuss, and al most immediately began scream ing,' I asked what I should tell the district attorney and be re peated the story." "Was there anything more?" "I can't recall anything else."

"We had various conversations throughout the day." The court asked for a definite estimate of the total time "Well, I should judge about a half hour In all." Fitts resumed the questioning. "Did!

Volstead Fined As Wet Despite Famous Name MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 10 (AP) A palpable "wet" with a fam ous "dry" name gave municipal attaches a shock today PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 10. (AP) With the resurrection of bonds valued at $14,000 from a recalled and supposedly destroyed $1,000,000 bond Issue ot the In terstate Utilities company, Wash ington and Idaho corporation, and the arrest at Eugene of Howard Polly, ex-chlef engineer of the American bank building here, members of the district attorney's office tonight believed they had uncovered a clever scheme to de fraud the utilities company. The bonds were said by Deputy District Attorney George Mowry to have been part of an issue i which was tossed Into a furnace In the American bank building long ago. Mowry declared about $760,000 worth of the bonus nao. previously been sold and recalled for redemption. He said the is sue had been underwritten by the Lumbermen's Trust company, now the Equitable Trust company, of this city. Polly, against whom the finger of suspicion was said by Mowry to be directed, was brought here from Engene tonight. He is charged specifically with "having a false instrument of debt in his possession with intent to utter it as true." His bail was set at S2000. Mowry said he has information that about 24 of the bonds of S1000 and 500 denominations were removed from the furnace into a brisk blaze by the mayor's recent overt act in ignoring this faction when making appointments to a new committee, are likely to develop into a "three alarm" fire within the next few weeks. The deadly dullness of the last two council sessions will no longer pre vail. When the mayor, in an in nocent appearing memorandum read while he was absent from the meeting and out of the city, appointed three ot his friends on the incinerator committee, ignor ing the recommendation made in the resolution which created the committee, the "independents" vowed that something would be done about It. Their recent rec ord indicates that this was no Idle threat. The Independents have twice asserted themselves with a ven geance; once to upset the mayor's plans with respect to selection ot a building Inspector, and again to throw overboard the bridge engi neering department, one ot his honor's pet hobbies. But ln the days that have in tervened since Monday's meeting. the independents have been keep ing perfectly mum about their plans for retaliation, and nothing but conjecture Is possible at this time in the way of forecast. A possible solution may be con ducted by looking forward to the first council meeting in 1930, when the mayor, as things stand how that would be possible as be has less than a day there with a number of official engagement.
