MAYFLOWER BOMB"
WAS BOOTLEG BOOZE

Washington, February 15.--Investiga-
ton of an alleged plot to blow up the
Presidential Yacht Mayflower continued
tonight, but the investigators-secre
service agents and Washington police
were understood to have practically
reached the conclusion that the supposed
bomb was no more deadly than the av-
erage run of "bootleg whisky.
An enlisted man Of the navy is still
held in custody at the navy yard. but
the belief seemed to be prevalent at po-
lice headquarters that some charge in
voIving an attempt to get liquor aboard
the Mayflower would be preferred against
him rather than charges that he had
conspired to blow up the presidential
yacht.
The man under arrest, whose name
was withheld was said to have told
boatswain's mate on the Mayflower that
it would mean money for him if he hap
paned to be on duty at a certain hour
and permit a friend to take pack
age aboard the craft. The boatswains
mate reported the matter to Captain
Holmes, commanding the yacht and the
man was arrested. Inability Of the Sc
eret service agents to find the bomb
has hampered them in their investiga-
ton

With the example of Birmingham to
follow, Gadsden citizens last night sat
down to a Hoover kitchen dinner, and
by so doing raised more than $4,000 TO
help save lives of starving children in
far away Europe. More than 800 tick
cts TO the dinner had been sold at SIC
each when Gadsden workers reported
to state headquarters in the American
Trust building.
Dr. J. M. Broadly, pastor Of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church, was the
principal speaker at the Gadsden din
ner, and left Birmingham with Erskine

men of the party feel they are doing
more than their share when they are
called upon to put up 81, 900, and the man
worth s50,000,O00 is asked for no more.
FEELS CONFIDENT
Mr.. eTIays expresses confidence that the
deficit will be raised in the manner he
has outlined. and he is trying to get
together virtually the same organizations
which operated prior to the election.
Members of the ways and means commit
tee which operated under Col William
Boyce Thompson, have been summoned
to New Y rk and asked to do their share
in getting the money together. Senator
New, who will succeed Mr.. Hays, accorc-
ing to the present plans, is an active
politician.
He is particularly experienced in ma
tional commit zee affairs, having served
as active chairman during several years
of the Taft administration when Chair
man Frank Fl. Hitchcock had gone into
the Taft cabinet as Postmaster General
and had thereby set a precedent. In adj
dition to being a clever man rat politics.
Senator New is one of Mr.. Harding's
closest personal friends Mr.. Harding
has the highest possible regard for SEN
ator New, and would like to do some
Thing for him, but Mr. New is desirous
of running for the Senate again two
years from now.
HAS AMBITIONS
1t is this latter fact alone which may
his taking the national chairman
ship Mr. New may feel that the power
which would accrue to him as national
chairman would be an unfair advantage
over any rivals who desire to contest the
with him. One Of these con-
testants is former Senator Albert Bever-
edge. Mr.. Harding would like to COM
pose the Indiana situation by sending
Mr.. Beveredge away to some diplomatic
post but it is understood the latter will
not accept such a solution of the matter.
Mr.. New has the precedent before him
Of Senator Mark Hanna, who resigned the
national craftsmanship long after he had
become member of the Senate.
