Eugene C. Eppley, Fontenelle

Testifies to Purchases.
Sleuths Watch Hostelry

Eugene c. Eppley's apparent hon.
esty and frank personality in federal
court yesterday afternoon seemed to
overbalance the testimony OF federal
prohibition agents that they bought
13 bottles OF gin and whisky from
seven bellboys in the Hotel Fontenelle
between January 16 and 81. Mr.. Epp-
ley operates the Fontenelle and sew
eral other hotels.
Federal Judge Woodrough, at the
end of the hearing. said he would take
under adviscnient for several days the
question involved. He gave no en-
courageement to the federal prohibi-
tion department which is seeking an
injunction to close up the big hostelry
of $40 rooms on the ground that
liquor was sold there.
Mr.. Eppley. like all the other wit
nesses, stood while he testified. Judge
Woodrough himself fired questions at
him following the testimony of the
prohibition agents who said they
bought liquor from bellhops.
Nor were the prohibition agents the
only ones who hoped the injunction
would be granted.

Germany Plans
No Peace Offer
Keenly Awaited Speech of
Chancellor Is Devoid of
Any Significant
Utterance.

Berlin, March G.--LP)-Chancellor
Cuno's awaited speech before the
reichstag today was devoid Of new
and significant utterances in connec-
ton with the Ruhr situation beyond
the statement that Germany had nol,
directly or indirectly. suggested the
inauguration OF negotiations with the
occupying powers and that all rumors
to this effect were without authorita-
tive basis.
Germany. said the chancellor, coUll
not negotiate. ''in view Of the situa-
ton created in the Rhineland and
Ruhr through the Franco-Belgian
transgressions."
He lntifnated that so long as the
invading powers continued their
armed violation OF German sovereign
ty. and maintained. and even cx-
tended. their hostile occupation OF
German territory. which was immune
by virtue of the Versailles treaty. the
German government could not be ex-
pected TO assume the initiative in re-
spect to any action looking TO settle
ment of the present conflict.
Protests Invasion.
The chancellor in his speech took
the form Of lengthy protest, in
which he reeapstulated in detail the
situation growing out OF the occupa-
ton OF the Ruhr from the first day.
and the more recent invasion Of
points III Baden.
lie was frequently interrupted by
expressions OF Indignation as he re-
cited the number of arrests. conyic-
tIons eylctions and deporiations Of
German officials. who refused 10 carry
out the orders OF the occupation au.
thorities. The Franco Belgian expe-
ditlon into the Ruhr. he said, had thus
far resolved itself into a dismal eco
nomic failure. the gains from which
suggested a doubtful offset to the al
legged German dellnquencies in the
payment Of reparatlons.
Terms Actions Vicious.
The French actions in the Ruin.
he termed yiciousiy inimical TO the
worlds economic welfare in general
and TO tho promotion of European re-
construction IN particular. Herr
Cuno laudcd the passive resistance
with which the German populace in
the Ruhr and elsewhere had opposed
the invaders. and asserted that this
resistance obviously was the only
weapon at Germany's disposal. After
nine weeks OF stubborn. unarned op-
position, fraught with all kinds OF
privations. the German nation today
was an unfaltering unit In its deter
mlnauon to hold out against the
heavy physical odds.
This morning. before the reichstag
convened. the chancellor called in the
parliamentary leaders and outlined
the contents OF his speech. informing
them that IL would contain no sensa-
tional announcement OF revelations,
as the government had none TO make.
