Workmen Find Beer in Old
Well Long Out of Use

THE old oaken bucket" has been
discounted by old bottled beer found
in a long disused we'll at Falls
Church, Va.
A case Of ten bottles of the amber
joy was found in the we'll, there
buried far beneath and long ago" 1t
had been lowered into the water for
cooling purposes, and left there I'M
til the suspending ropes rotted and
dropped the containing box, with all
its bottles, into the ooze at the bot
tom of the we'll.
That was at least twelve years ago,
but the men who cleaned the well
and found the beer drank Of 1t. And
they said that it was good.
The well is on the farm of ]. p. Mo-
ling. at Falls Church. He lived there
for eight years and never used the
well, either to drink from or to cool
beer in. His Immediate predecessor,
who abided there four years, like
wise did not use the well. The local
historians and oldest Inhabitants say
1t probably was by a man who left
the place twelve or fifteen years ago.

Department this morning with regard to
the testimony of ]. w. Lucas and ]. B.

lures in the Navy Department, 1t is de-
clared emphatioally that the Irregular
ties charged have no existence. The

having been repeatedly tried in various
positions, who resigned recently.

nam, which these men say was built in
q cellar in the yard. was, as matter
of fact, statement were built outside d
year before he was assigned to the
yard.
How Expense Was Met.
The commandments permission having
been obtained, and an adequate deposit
made, certain work was done on the
boat at the yard, the deposit of $50 fully
covering all expenditure which was
1854, including all labor and material.
Paymaster Merriam also obtained per-
mission. il is claimed. to have his auto
mobile repaired at the yard, and depos-
ited 1924 to cover the cost, which was
$3O.7S.
Another charge was made that Pay
master Merriam has an employe named
George Lawrie working for him in
Government time and on Government
pay. Paymaster Merriam, it is assert

RE 10 work for him during Government
hours.
AS for the statement that there has
been no complete inventory for seven

clearly in line with the policy establish
ed by Secretary Meyer, the Washing

LOR|KER PROBERS
WILL CALL FIRST

Former Governor Yates and
Harvester Trust Head
Will Testify.

Former Governor Yates Of Illinois and
President Mccormick of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company will be the
first witnesses in the Lorimer investi-
cation.
day, as Mr.. Mccormick wants to go to
Europe next Thursday. and Governor
Yates Is anxious to go to California. The
committee decided to hear them then,
although the hearings proper will not
start until Thursday.
Neither Mccormick nor Yates was
called in the Illinois inquiry. McCor-
mick will be questioned about the al
legged demand on his company for a
contribution to fund said to nave been
used in the Lorimer election.
1t has been practically settled to call
in all the members Of the Illinois Legis-
lature.
Night sessions will be held by the
committee. 1t plans to begin hearings
at 10 each morning, and then hold aft
ernoon and night sessions. No time Is
to be lost.
The uragnet thrown out for the ILL.,
nois legislature is, in part, for the
purpose of getting to the bottom of the
Jackpot scandals in so far as they
may relate to the Lorimer election.
The counsel for the committee, John
H. Marble. and John J. Healy, were in
conference today with some of the
members of the committee. The at
torneys are busily engaged in the pre-
liminaries Of the inquiry.
The nearer the investigation ap-
proaches the palmer It becomes that 1t
is to be sweeping and thorough. No
witnesses who can shed any light on
the facts will be spared. The necessary
accountants will be employed to go
through any books that may have to
be examined. 1t is learned. however,
that the committee is not likely to de-
pend as much on the evidence Of books
as It is on the actual testimony of
witnesses.
