grounds whatever for believing that
any attempt has been made to bride
or corruptly influence William J. Nc

taken cognizance of certain newspaper
interviews in which Mccarthy was
represented as telling of REDUCTION of
brides amounting to more than q mil
lion dollars offered on condition that
he would permit violations Of the Vol
stead bet; that the United States mar
shar;5 office was unable to find McCar-
thy and that thereafter the jury heard
the testimony of Frank flanagan, as
sistant to Mr.. Mccarthy.

to bride Mr.. Mccarthy and states that
he had never heard from Mr.. Mccarthy
about any such attempts having been
made upon him. that he had been Mr..
McCarthy's assis tant for the past seven
months and prior to that was office
man On Mr.. McCarthy's staff.
The grand jury also made inquiry
into a case in which it was alleged
publicly by Mr.. flanagan that a GER

treat given them by the slender Porto

was apparent that one was listening

MUS. 1t hardly seemed possible that
the little youth in knickerbockers

melody. 1t was easy to see why for
this Castilian youth there has been
predicted brilliant career in the
world of music.
The artist seemed to be simply ex-
pressing his own personality through
the medium Of the musical compost

artist. the polish simply being the
acquired result of intensive study. His
musical successes have not in the least
affected his modest, unassuming man

ent that Mr.. Renwick has been devot-

brought about by the war it was man
ifest that wages should be, and they
actually were, very substantially in
creased.
