Britten,e Of Chicago, planned in a
speech before the House to demand
Congressional investigation of sensa-
tional stories regarding the prohibi-

The stories, of alleged corruption of

reached climax when the names Of
United States Senator William B. Nc
kinley and his secretary, Chester
Willoughby, were drawn in following
the dismissal of Joseph A. Tatro, gov

Tatro, who was dismissed on the
ground that he made unwarranted and
untrue statements linking Senator Nc
Kinley and his secretary with a scan

charges. Investigation, it was said, to-
day failed to implicate Senator Nc
Kinley in any plot in which forged

On Miami Cable Situation

turn License TO Which
Brazil Objects

Officials of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company said yesterday that no
answer had been received up to that
time to the communication sent to
President Harding last Tuesday by
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
company, offering to return to the
State Department the license to oper-
ate the Miami cable. The offer to re-
turn the license was made as result
of objections from Brazil to the use of
the cable for European business to the
exclusion of messages to their country,
and Mr.. Cartons communication said
that "to attempt TO operate the cable
would involve us in difficulties with
the Brazilian Government
statement issued yesterday by All
America Cables announced that, as the
delay between the United States and
Europe, via the Atlantic cables is prac-
tically normal, they have instructed
their offices in this country to decline
any European business by way of South
America. It also said that at the time
the situation was most critical, very
few paid messages were sent to Europe
by that route, and that these were sent
before the situation was thoroughly
understood.

speota, Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Applicants for
professorships at Northwestern Univer-
slty will have greater chances for sue
cess if they are bachelors than if they
are married men.
Its for their own good,' Roy G..
Flickinger, dean of the College of Lib
eral Arts, declared, saying that the
university will give preference to
single men. The expensive Evanston
ian atmosphere, he says, makes too
many demands on the meager salaries
OF married professors.
Salaries at Northwestern are as high
as in other universities, Dean Flick
niger said, but the cost Of living in
Evanston is far higher than in most
university towns and the social de-.
mands with their attendant expense are
greater.
The result is. according to the
Dean, that wives of instructors have
sometimes been forced to clerk in
evanston stores to make both ends
meet.

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-Winston spen-
Ger Churchill, Secretary for the Col
onies, and former Premier Herbert H.
Asquith are the latest recruits to the
memoir writing field. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Churchill will receive 2O,o0O

books to be published at about the end
of the present year.
Like Prime Minister Lloyd George,
who is at Criccieth, Wales, grinding
out the golden chapters of his $50 900
literary effort, Mr. Churchill also is
devoting the present Parliamentary re-
cess to his writing. His friends, now
ever. say the Colonial Secretary is
finding difficulty in writing with the
greatest freedom because of reserya
tions neecessitated by his Cabinet post.
Mr.. Asquith is not subject to such
restrictions. but nevertheless it is not
expected the dignifed and the schol-
arly leader of the Opposition will write
anything approaching the spiciness Of

Chloroform Clew

I'm Giberson Killing
Alleged Purchase of Mourn
ing Outfit by Wife Before
Murder Being Investigat-
ed; May Exhune Body
specsa, Dispatch to The Tribune

TOMS RIVER, N. j., Aug. 1s.--The
body of William Giberson, who was
shot to death while asleep in his home
at Lakehurst early Monday morning,
may be exhumed in an effort TO learn
whether he was chloroformed on the
night of the murder, it was learned
here tonight.
Detectives who have been working ON
this angle of the case say that drug
gists in nearby towns have been dues-
toned, and in one instance it was
learned that chloroform had been pur-
chased. This may lead to important
developments, detectives say.
Detective Ellis Parker, who was
called in on the case shortly after the
murder, still contends thai there isn't
any truth in the story told by Mrs.
Giberson, held in connection with the
Staying.
Detectives say that Mrs. Giberson
purchased complete mourning out
fit shortly before her husband was
murdered. She is said to have bought
two black dresses, two mourning wells.
black hat, shoes and stockings. So
far as the Investigators can learn,
none of her relatives has died re-
Gently.
Joseph Rlchmond, q son of Mrs. Glib
erson by former marriage, has not
been questioned closely about his
movements on the night of the murder
and in statement issued by his coun-
sci tonight he upbraided the prosecu-
tor for not checking up on his story
and thus clearing him of suspicion. He
said that he had been placed in a
false light in his neighborhood and
he called upon the authorities i'm
medlately to exonerate him. He said
that stories about i'll feeling that had
existed with his stepfather were great
ly exaggerated.
Prosecutor Jayne refused to COM
ment upon the status of the young
man.
Harold GaNun, of New York, who
was questioned earlier in the week
about letters he is said to have written
to Mrs. Giberson, returned home this
afternoon, saying he is available at
all times for further examination. He
has proved to the satisfaction of
Prosecutor Jayne and the detectives
that he had nothing to do with the
murder.
