Tells of Hiring Hubbard as
, Dry Agent; Approval
Of Jones Asked
usplcion Aroused at Time
, Of Olmsted Arrest,
. Says Ex-Chief
SEATTLE. Sept. 11. (AP)
doming Almost as an anti-climax
after the stormy cross examina
tion ot Thomas P. KeTelle. for
mer United States attorney. Roy
C. Lyle, suspended prohibition
administrator, took the stand in
federal court here today to deny
charges that he and three ot his
official associates " extracted
$100,000 in protection money
from organized liquor runners.
After Revelle had been ex
cused, eight minor witnesses
were heard before Lyle was
called.
Lyle told of the employment
of Alfred M. Hubbard, a protege
of Olmsted's, as a dry agent.
The first time he met Hub
bard was in the fall of 1924
when Hubbard was doing radio
work for Olmsted. He said Hub
bard came to him and com
plained that his connection with
Olmsted was interfering with his
getting radio business.
Told Hubbard he
AVas in Danger
Lyle said he told Hubbard he
was in bad company and sug
gested he would get into serious
trouble If he did not sever his
connections with Olmsted. The
next time he saw him was after
the raid on Olmsted's home n
which Hubbard was arrested.
In the fall of 1925, a year
after his first meeting with Hub
bard, Corwin came to him and
told him, Lyle said, that Hub
bard wanted to reform, become
a dry agent and "turn in" the
entire Olmsted organisation.
A series of meetings followed,
Hubbard was recommended tor
appointment as an agent. . and
went to work for the. depart
ment Lyle said ha consulted
Senator Wesley ItfJenew-aoout
the matter only because it was
unusual to hire as an agent a
man who had been Indicted as a
liquor law violator.
Senator Jones, who sponsored
the stringent B and .10 law" tor
liquor law violators, was espe
dally Interested in trapping the
Olmsted gang, Lyle said.
Hubbard's unannounced pres
ence at Woodmont beach when
Olmsted was arrested and his li
quor and speed boat seised,
made him "concerned" about
Hubbard's honesty, Lyle admit
ted, but said Hubbard succeeded
in convincing him of his Inno
cence. Directly denying Hubbard'3
charge he had known of the reg
ular collections of protection
money, Lyle said the only bribe
Hubbard told him about was
51000 obtained from Ben New
man In the Zev case. This mon
ey was used as government evi-
dence in the trial of the Zev
conspirators.

Kowits feels that In one In

the actual vacation is done un

council. On such a vacation he
believes a compulsory referen

Kowitz said Friday that he
thought criticism of the council
for delay in the matter of action
on Trade street vacation had
weakened the case of the vaca

When the councilmen received

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 11
(AP) Just five days after he
penned a brief resignation ending
an amazing career of political
power, Hipolilo Irigoyen, the aged
former president of the Argentine
republic, was headed into exile
tonight aboard the cruiser Bel
grano. The popular assumption was'
that he was bound for the nearby
city of Montevideo, Uruguay, but
the government made no official
statement as to the destination.
The embarkation was conduct
ed In secrecy today. Irigoyen was
In the barracks of the seventh in
fantry at La Plata where he had
been ill since the or. r throw, as
usual this morning. There were
rumors he would go aboard the
cruiser sometime today, since be
had been examined by two gov
ernment physicians last night and
declared fit to travel, but confir
mation was not obtainable.'
Scribes Denied
Word of Plans
Late in the morning, however,
half ef the seventh regiment went
to the central docks half a mile
by motor ear from the city of La
Plata and deployed in the sur
rounding area to prevent the en
trance of any one, even newspa
permen. At 11 o'clock this morning, Iri
goyen, accompanied by a daugh
ter and hla present physician, Dr.
Meabe, was placed in a motor car
and rushed to the docks. He
went aboard the cruiser at 11:35
and 15 minutes later the ship
pulled anchqr.
His 'departure is said to have
been by bis own ehoice.
Irlgoyen'a downfall began last
Friday, when, under pressure of
his ministers, he "retired" under
a constitutional provision and
turned the government over to
the vice president. Dr. Enrique V.
Martinez.

This aroused military-naval
coalition which Saturday night
marched into Buenos Aires and
took over the government house.
Martinez and the cabinet resigned
while Irigoyen fled to La Plata.
There he was arrested and Sun
day morning, just a few minutes
after midnight Saturday he wrote
a brief resignation.
He then was informed that he
was not under arrest but in view
of his illness was given a bed In
the infantry barracks. There he
remained until today, his illness
described variously as pneumo
nia, grippe, or a combination of
old age, plus the depression caus

SET NEXT TUESDAY
Members of the state reclama
tion commission have been
called to meet here Tuesday aft
ernoon, to consider a recent
audit of the books and accounts
of Rhea Luper, state engineer.
Governor Norblad, who called
the meeting, said he would ask
Luper to explain why he depos
ited to his personal credit $1800
interest accruing on various
state irrigation funds. The au
dit showed that this money had
not been credited either to the
state nor any of its political sub
divisions. Records in the state
treasury department show that
this money was turned over to
the state 10 days ago following
a conference between Luper and
State Treasurer Kay.
Luper also will be asked by
the governor as to why he kept
certain state documents in his
private safety deposit vault. Pay
ment of certain attorney tees'
and traveling expenses by the
state engineering department
also will enter into the hearing.
Governor Norblad Thursday
took exception to recent press
reports that lie had been lax in
calling a hearing to consider the
audit. He declared that he Ini
tiated the proposed investiga
tion, but because of pressing of
ficial matters, was unable to
hold it previously.
Luper alleged that he had not
turned over the $1800 to the
state previously for the reason
that he had not determined
whether It belonged in the gen
eral fund or to the irrigation
districts.

WASHINGTON. Sept 11
(AP) The drought has cost the
country a loss of corn almost
bushel for bushel as large as the
entire yield of wheat.
On July 1, the erop reporting
board forecast a corn crop of 2,
802.000,000 bushels, 188,000,000
bushels more than the crop of
1929 and 103.000,000 bushels
more than the five year average.
But the biasing heat of July and
August struck 820,000,000 bush
els off the anticipated corn yield
Just 17,000,000 bushels less
than all the wheat the United
States is expected to raise this
year.
Because the country always
feeds about as much corn as it
usually grows the farm board
sees an opportunity for the wheat
crop to be swallowed by the de
ficiency in corn. C. C. Teague,
member representing fruits and
vegetables, said today he believed
the low price of wheat as com
pared to corn would result in
feeding of enough of it to live
stock to end the national wheat
surplus emergency, the solution
of which was one of the chief en
deavors during eight years work
on farm relief legislation.
