MAE HAYES, HERE,
IDENTIFIES AUTO
MAN IN inch CASE
CONTINUED From First Pagc)

Mrs. Inch out because nc know she
was innocont?" Mr.. F0llon asked.
81 told him ! thought he should
hclp her" replied the witness.
Mr. Herman. testfying in rcbuttal,
said that he never had seen Mae Hayes
previous TO this trial and that tho
charge for the telephone message be-
tween his office and Cincinnati was
not ordered reversed by him.
After Herman had left the stand
Mac Hayes was recalled for a mo-
ment to answer two questions:
Did you see the witness who has
Just finished testifying?"
II did" she said.
Did YOU recognize him."
YES" said she.
u was then that the defense rested
and the arguments began.
Mr.. Fallon made a point OF Herr
mann's denial that he knew Mae
Hayes.
Mae Hayes Is a respectable mar
ried woman now" he said. do you
think that anything could induce her
TO leave her home and come TO New
York and sacrifice all in her testimony
IL she did not know what she was do
ing? Herman says he doesn't know
her. Well. what would you expect
him TO say? You jurors are the
judges OF the facts in this case. The
Courts business is only to instruct
you in the law. not in the facts. Mae
Hays knows that what she came here
to say is the truth. And the one who
knows least about the case is Betty
Inch"
Mr.. Fallon said there were two in
noccnt victims in the case. Betty Inch
being one, Herrman's wife being the
other. There were two persons re-
sponsiblc, Herman and Mae Hayes.
and he said the far greater burden of
responsibility rested on Herman.
He called special attention TO al
legged discrepancies in the testimony
of the two detectives, jenkins and
Sullivan, at this and the earlier trial.
And ho said that the principle on
which such witnesses testified was,
"Whcn in doubt. forget" lie also
called attention TO testimony that
Betty Inch claimed ownership OF a
rug in Herrman's automobile. and
contrastcd this with ITerrmans de-
nial that he know the women in the
case.

in DeS MOineS.

Des Moines, la, Dec. 31.--The call of Christianity. to the colleges and universities of the world today is for leadership John R. Mott, chairman dent volunteer movement for foreign missions said at the opening of the first international conventions in six years here today
 '"There comes to the students of our day a demand for a great and unpar- alleled offering of lives dedicated to the service of God and man, he said. ITO meet the worlds needs there must be a great uprising of young men and women who will become ministers of religion, missionaries, prophets and apostles with great social, ethical and spiritual concern and passion.'
 The speaker called attention to the fact that thousands of students from America and Canada, and many from numerous other countries were attend- ing. He referred to existing conditions as an aftermath of the world war, de- claring that "23 wars are now actually being fought as an aftermath of the great war.
 s"The call has come for builders of the new order," Dr. Mott asserted. "The period of building has arrived. Every American and Canadian stu dent of wide outlook is needed. An added reSpOnSi bility comes upon us because of the startling depletion of the universities of EurOpe.'

Hartford, Dec. 31--State Pure Food Commissioner Thomas Holt, is con- sidering the advisa bility of formulat- ing rules for the regulation of the sale of Jamaica ginger. His atten- ton was directed to what he con- sidered the necessity of taking action in the matter by the receipt of a letter from a manufacturer of Ja- maica ginger, accompanied by a copy of 8 label for the approval of the commissioner. The label contained a formula for a liquid which con- tained so per cent of alcohol. The commissioner consulted with the state department of health and was in formed that the per cent was not an excessive proportion. and that even 93 per cent of alcohol would not be considered too much.
 The manufacturer in his letter said that it was his intention to have a large numbcr of the labels printed. Com missioner Holt in reply advised him not to have so many labels print ed as he might not need them if he (the commissioner decided on resu- lations which might be adopted.
 Commissioner Holt said today that if it was made clear to him that the federal prohibition law was evaded by the ingredients which go into Ja- maica ginger he would do what he could to prevent the success of the evasion.

STRANGE MIXTURE
But Judge Rules it Legal to Brew Your Own' If It's Not Sold to Any, body. ....


 Stamford Dec. 31.--A person has a right to make any kind of mixture he desires for his personal use, Judge Samuel Young said in the police court today, in acquitting Andrew kosin and Felix Duomagla on the charge of manufacturing deletcrious liquors The court held that under the law it is within personal right to make liquors, or any connection provided there is no intent to sell the same.
 It was alleged that Whiskey was found in these mems houses which they had made. They did not deny making a mixture and samples were sent to a chemist for analysis. He re- ported that the mixture was 50 per cent. grain alcohol to which had been added water, formaldehyde fusel oil and a coloring. There was no trace of wood alcohol. The grain al- cohol had been medicated at a phar- macy. The men made up a concoc- ton as a treat at Christmas for friends. They said there was no in- tent to sell any of~it.
