Tonnage Ample to
Keep Steamers Busy
Daring the time that the two
steamers were operated regularly
there was ample tonnage for them,
It was stated .Tuesday by A. S.
Johnson, manager of the naviga

At times last summer, six
redges were in operation on the
river, and it was put in the best
condition for navigation that it
ad been In many years. Most of
this was temporary - work and
freshets will move "most of the

However, some wing' dams were
built, and the government appears
definitely committed to the policy
of developing year-around naviga

Leaky Trunk and Handbco
Are Clues; Defendant
Avers It's Mistake
By CECIL B. DICKSON
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.
(AP) The Indictment of Repsr
sentative Edward. E. Denison t
Illinois by a federal grand jury
today on a charge of possession
of liquor added new force to the
storm which has raged recently
over prohibition enforcement la
the capital.
A leaking suitcase and a trusk
containing liquor, addressed te
John Layne. in care of DenifB.
411 House Office building, were
the bases of the indictment, which
also named Layne. who was bis
secretary nine years ago. Deal
son said the indictment resulted
from a mistake, and Layne un
claimed any connection with tbe
case.
Leaky Suitcase aad
Trunk Found by Cops
The grand jury action follows
a report by prohibition agents
November 8, that they had fonnd
a leaking suitcase at the Union
station and later a trunk contain
ing liquor at Denison's office Icet
January 19. after DeniBon re
turned from a visit to Panama.
He made the Panama trip accom
panied by his nephew, Chart
Lane of St. LouU. his secretary.
Miss Lucile Lee Said.
Denison has been a consistent
dry voter during his eight ters
as representative of tbe 25th Illi
nois district, which Includes TCH
liamson county where the Herrtn
riots occurred. He, voted for the
18th amendment, the Volstead
Act, and the Jones law. The lat
ter imposes drastic penalties en
liquor law violators.
All Big Mistake
Congressman Avers
He was advised at his home ia
Marlon, 111., of the grand jury's
action. The situation was ex
plained to him by Miss Lee kt a
telephone conversation, and an
Associated Press staff reporter
asked him if he desired to make
statement.
Expressing "surprise" that an
indictment had been returned,
Denison said:
"When the prohibition agents
came to my office and Inquired
about a trunk, I permitted them
to inspect it. I found that tbe
trunk was not mine; that it be
longed to some one else and that
the express company had made a
mistake In directing a trunk to
me that I did not own. I ex
plained it ful)y to the agents and 1
am very much surprised that aa$
indictment has been returned." .
A similar mistake had been
made, he said, with regard to a
hand bag. His nephew. Lane, be
