Weber Paid Him
$500 Bribe, Says
Income Tax Expert
Cropper Testifies s'Pictorial
Review" Secretary Wanted
to Conceal Fact Money
Was Spent in Speculation

Nathaniel w. Gropper, chief govern
ment witness in the trial of Jay A..
Weber, secretary and director of the
Pictorial Review Company, testifying
yesterday, said that the defendant, who
is on trial for attempting to bribe In
ternal revenue agents to falsify an in
come tax return of the company, asked
him and Isadore Schlanger, another tax
expert who was going over the books
of the company with him, to omit. from
their report their discovery that funds
Of the company had been used for spec
p)ative purposes without the knowl-
edge Of the stockholders.
The overlooking Of these irregulari-
ties and also the omission Of dividends
paid by the company in their report
were the acts for which he and Schlan-
ger were to receive the bribe, Gropper
testified.
Gropper, in his direct examination
before Judge Cushman in the Federal
District Court, testified that when
Weber had intimated to him that it
would be worth his while to falsify
his report, that he had conferred with
Colonel Daniel L. Porter regarding the
proposal, and upon advice from his
superior continued the negotiations.
He narrated events which led up to
the payment Of $500 by Weber in the
washroom of the Hotel McAlpn on
June last. when Weber, Schlanger and
himself had luncheon in the hotel to-
gether.
Gropper said that during the pro-
posals, when he dcmurred about b:ing
detected if he sent in false report,
Weber told him that William P. Ahnelt,
president Of the company, would sec
to it that he and Schlanger would be
amply protected, and in the event they
got into trouble would provide good
counsel for them.
"Did he mention who the lawyers
we're" Mr. Dewitt asked.
Eyes" replied the witness. Zone was
Mr.. Stanchfeld and the other was Mr..
McAdoo"
At this. Mr.. Stanchfeld, who is one
of the attorneys for the defendant,
smiled and bowed slightly.
After the $500 had been paid over to
him by Weber, Gropper said that three
revenue agents detained them as they
were leaving the hotel and took them
to the Custom House in a 'axcab.
Two of the agents had searched him
twice before he went to the lunch con,
Cooper declared.
On the way downtown, Gropper testi-
fed that Weber cautioned him to say
nothing and that everything would
come out all right. At the Custom
House he declared that Weber denied
he had given him any money when

ready to engage in team play with
any organization and leadership that

course, believe in party organization,
but it must be for the promotion of
issues, not Of men. am not strad-
dler on any issue. I spend most of
my time agitating for issues that I
believe in. 1t is the privilege of all
OF us to hold our own views, and it
is our duty to express them when
called upon to do so. But no man
can be so arrogant as to assume that
he can dictate the issues to the Amer
lean people or to the great parties
they support.
Prefers to Agitatc for Issues
"Fourth-You and your friends
have urged that I should undertake
to organize propaganda for myself as
representing issues by entering into
competition for nomination by
great party. Aside from the reasons
mentioned above, this implies entry
upon a road of elf-seeking, whereas
my view is that l should agitate for
the issues, not for myself. You
rightly say that joining sheer or
ganization without issues is simply
Office hunting without regard to pub
lie services.
FINALLY, am not so ignorant as
not to realize perfectly we'll that
such course does not lead to nomi-

not be myself if l started out on

Colonel Porter asked the latter if he
had paid Gropper $500.
Gropper said that when he had COM
planned to Weber that $500 was a
small payment, that Weber promised
to bring 1t up to $500 the next day.
Weber explained the small payment by

Selling Out and
Moving

According to farm journals, which
do not appeal to or interest breeders
of live stock, hundreds of farmers in
the middle west are selling their high
priced land, and moving into other
regions and Canada, where they can
buy, equip and improve farms and still
have considerable capital left. Grain
growers, after skimming the cream
off their land, are apt to shift, if they
can sell out at high prices, as at pres
ent. -Stock-farmers, however, are not
the shifting kind; they are anchored
to and have keen personal interest in
their farms, homes and communities.
The Gazette's subscribers stick to
their farms and live stock. Year af-
ter year they renew their subserip-
tions, without ordering changes in
their pOst-office addresses. A cOnsti-
tuency which is permanently rooted in
the best agricultural regions of the
country, and is not given to the habit
of selling out and moving, makes the
GaZette's service as an advertising
medium dependable and valuable. That
is why we are compelled to print 81
pdges this week. Breeders Gazette,
March 4, 1920, page Gosh.
The above article in the Breeders
Gazette shows that one of the s0lu-
tions Offered to the farmer of high
priced land is Stock Raising. Being a
national paper with a large circulation
among farmers of Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota and other states, it
is in a position to give reliable infor-
nation such as that contained in the
above article. Attend the Fuller Hog
Sale, Wednesday, March "a. 35-1t.

BILL TO STOP MAKING d@
LIQUOR FOR ANY PURPOSE

Nashville, Tenn, December 21.-A
bill will be introduced at the next
session of the Tennessee legislature
making it unlawful to manufacture
whiskey in the state for any purpose.
This will greatly facilitate the cap
ture Of moonshiners, it is thought.
"The present law specifies that
whiskey shall not be made for the
purpose Of selling it. This loophole
allows many moonshiners to slip
through the hands of the law" said
Lewis E. Elkins, federal prohibition
agent for Tennessee this morning.
Mr.. Elkins has Just returned from
tour of Weakley, 0bion and Gibson
counties in connection with his work.
Il was informed in these counties"
he said, "that moOnshine whiskey is
being sold and that it is difficult to
obtain conviction in state courts in
cases where liquor locally manufac-
tured is concerned, because Of the
laxity of the state laws. AS the
law now stands for conviction it is
necessary to prove that the liquor
was made to sell.

SCHOOLS TO BE
BENEFITED BY MOVEMENT

The schools in Tennessee which are
to be benefited by the Christian
Education movement of the NJ. b.
Church, South, are the Woman's Col
lege, Jackson, Tenn; Centenary Col-
lege, Cleveland, Tenn; Hiwassee Col
lege, Madisonville, Tenn, and Mar
tin College, Pulaski, Tenn; McFerrin
School, Martin, Tenn, and McTyere
School, Mckenzie, Tenn.
The church has entered upon a
movement not only to strengthen
these schools, but its two universities,
80 colleges, % junior colleges, 26
academies and eight missionary
schools, total of IS institutions.
Plans have been developed and are
already being put into execution
whereby efforts are being directed to
develop in the mind of the church an
adequate conception of the plans of
Christian education in the life of the
church, Of the nation and of the
world. Leaders in the movement are
confident that at least 5000 young
men and women viii pledge them
selves to devote their lives to the
ministry, to missions or TO some
other form Of Christian life service
and to seek a Christian education as
a preparation for effective life SER
