VENIZEIOS ON HIS WAY TO GREECE

 is departure had been postponed. The caution with which the depar- t,rre of M Venizelos was surrounded is explained by his friends as due to the fact that bitter animosities aroused by the interior political trou- bles at Greece, have not yet been ap peased. Venizelos feels there is formidable minority. if not an actual majority, against him in. Greece at the present moment.
 His friends are skeptical as to the success of any political action he may undertake in Athens. It Is pointed ont that If he advocates maintenance of the royalist regime. which he Is known to favor. he will antagonize the most violent. elements of the country.

 Fishermen in Siacca; who discovered the body, said their curiosity was aroused by an unusual weight in their nets. They pulled the nets ashore and found the body of the young French officer. It was carried to the local chapel and kept until daylight, where the priest gave it his blessing.
 The fishermen then notified the au- thorities, who Immediately recognized the insignia and identified the com mander of the tll-fated DiXmude.

 While the whole nation mourned the loss of the giant air vessel, with 50 men, including her commander the widow of Du Plexis de Greneden was in her modest home in Toulon ignor- ant of her husbands death.
 Fearing her life and that of the child to which she soon expects to give birth, might be endangered by the news, the commanders father has stationed himself at the widow S door refusing admlsston to all.
 She must not know until after the child is born,' he said.

QUEST FUR CAPITOL
 RUM LIST G0ES IN.
Blair Denies Knowledge Of It, While Oyster Is Again
 Asked For Facts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-(By Asso- ciated Press)-Still another govern ment official, Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau, today denied all knowledge Of the myste- rious list of rum purchasers which has become the center of Washing tons bootleg scandal.
 For a day or two after the raid that started all the trouble police officials talked freely of the seizure of list containing hundreds of names, and hinted that some of them would take away the breath of off cial and fashionable Washington if they were published. A threat of prosecution was made by the district attorneys office and then the list suddenly sunk from sight and left behind only widening circle of de- nials.
 Commissioner Blair's statement to- day did refer, however, to group of 21 names, which he said had been seized and were. under investigations. Then, he added. that other names had been contributed by those under ar rest in the case. that 50 more had been contained in another list seized sometime before and finally that a little black book apparently had existed at one time containing the HdHlCS Ol StNtld uuiul
 Meantime indications increased that sooner or later, both the police and the internal revenue bureau will be called on to tell Con- gress and the country all they know about the case. Representative New ton. republican, Minnesota, sent a second letter to Commissioner Oys- ter, in charge of District of Colum- bia police. repeating his request for facts concerninz the seizure of the list and the extent to which diplo-' matic immunity prevails in the hold ing of liquor.

KNIFE RESTORES VOICE

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 29.-An op- eration that restored the voice of a patient stricken dumb by paralysis of the vocal cords was performed by surgeons of the University Hospital, it was learned today
 Besides restoring the voice, the op- eration eliminated another serious complication by making it possible for the patient to breathe freely through the mouth after she had been. on the verge of suffocation.
 The patient, woman, had been stricken dumb following an operation to remove a goitre, The nerves that control the vocal cords were acci- dentally severed and no hope was held out for the recovery of her voice.
 The result was accomplished by dis secting one end of the cut nerve and fastening it to an adjacent motor nerve. In that way the nerve supply of the cords was restored
