NEW YORK, June 26.--Declaring
he had returned from abroad to vim
dicate himself and bring to justice
the guilty parties, George Maxwell,
president of the Authors, Publishers
and Composers Association Of Amer
lea, pleaded not guilty to a charge
Of writing poison pen letters to Allan
A. Ryan, f1nancier. He was released
in $1,000 bail
Mr.. Maxwell was indicted last April
after Mr.. Ryan had appeared before
the grand jury with the poison pen
letters. The letters cast aspersions
on the character Of Mrs. Ryan and
other socially prominent persons.
Mr.. Maxwell was in Paris when the
was found.
The charges against me-" Max
well said. ARE viciously false. 1
have come back not only to vindicate
myself, but to see that the persons
who have made my life miserable, and
tortured me and my friends for six
years are brought to justice. Those
who know me will admit that l am
plain and outspoken. and that IL l
have occasion to condemn or criticize
another I do not hide behind masked
letters.
Il deeply resent the cowardly at
tacks that have been made against
me, and the feeding to the public
daily of highly sensational and spec
tacular accusations. innuendoes and
inSinuations of and concerning me-
These were unfounded fabrications,
made recklessly and willfully, without
any attempt to investigate or cor
roborate them, all with view of
bringing disgrace and discredit upon
me and to serve the wicked ends and
ulteriOr purposes of others"

P|NCHOT MAY CUT
,::0FF BEER TO D. c.
New Highway Patrol Expect.
ed to Stop Traffic From
Keystone State.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


HARRISBURG, Pa, June 26.-
Whether the new state highway patrol
will be able to back-stop for Gov. Gift
ford Pinchot in abolishing rum running
is a serious topic for discussion today.
If it can, then Baltimore, Washington,
many New Jersey cities and towns, to
say nothing of Pennsylvania communi-
ties themselves, probably will go dry
because % per cent of the real beer
now being consumed there is made in
the keystone state and sneaked via au-
tomobile to the consumers.
Under the law creating the patrol, its
members have the right to stop any au-
tomobile on any highway whatever to
get any Information desired. But IL
was disclosed today the law does not
confer specific power to make arrests
The state has two police bodies, but in
asmuch as the coal and iron police are
restricted TO policing mines, railroad
and allied industries, it will be impossi-
ble to ally the highway patrol with it,
TO amaSamate it with the state police
would make trouble with organized
labor, which always is waging- war to
have the BLACK Cossacks' reduced in
number and their power restricted.
Wcts Fought Provision.
1eC II Ilc pdIEtl Is 10 bt tl-
fectiVe against rum running II must
be taken into the state police. Then
that body will have 100 additional
men, all expert motor cyclists. who
can keep watch on liquor cars and
assist III policing strike districts.
The patrol originally was planned in
the decentralization bill. Under its
provisions the members were to have
absolute powers uf arrest. But the
vets fought 50 hard that the gov
ernor consented to the section Great
ing the new force being eliminated.
Then Il section quietly was inserted
In the highways bill designed TO Gre
ate Il highway force. But 1t was round
impossible to give such officers sum-
mary powers to make arrests. How
ever, officials who have had expert
encc with Gov. Pinchot before say
II::vc Officer Along.
1t is admitted that these officials
have power to inspect cars. what
is to hinder. the dryS say, their al
1vays being accompanied by IL deputy
sheriff, constable or Il state trooper.
Then, if Illicit whisky or beer is
found, the accompanying officer very
easily can make the arrest. The trou
BILE in the past Was they could not
examine machines without a search
warrant.
In any event the vets are taking
no real consolation from the dfScoV-
cry that the highway patrol has not
