Means, former agent of the Depart

secretary, are being tried before Fed
erai Judge Wolverton and a jury
on charges Of conspiracy to violate

The names of Secretary Mellon and
Sixsmith were brought into the testi-
mony on Wednesday by John w

fled that he had had an opportunity
to buy whisky obtained through spe-
the Thompson distillery warehouses
at Brownsville. Pa. Through Frank
D. Saupp, an automobile dealer. Hub
bard said he had paid $4,000 to
Charles w. Johnson. who was ne
gotiating directly with Means.
Says Mellon Was Surprised.
Hubbard testified that the plan
failed and that he did not get his
money back. He said be then had
lunch with Sixsmith. who urged him
to complain to Secretary Mellon. He
said he did so, telling Mr.. Mellon of
the part played by Means in the at
tempted transaction. The Secretary
replied, Hubbard said, that he was
surprised that government official
would do ANYTHING like that
At Mr.. Melons suggestion, the wit
ness said, affidavits to charges were
made before Internal Revenue Com
missioner Blair.
The government rested it's case
against Means and Jarnecke after
as witnesses three telephone ope ra-
tors, who identified slips covering
phone calls by Jarnecke to Means
from a Pittsburgh hotel to one in this
city.
said he desired to question Secretary
Mellon and Sixsmith concerning
Hubbards testimony.
After Judge Wolverton had denied
a motion to dismiss the indictment.
Fielder made his opening address, as
serting that he expected to prove that
Jarnecke were in the line of their
duty as Department of Justice in
veStigatorS, and that the indictment
of Means and his dismissal from the
governments service was instigated
by a high government official.
I'VE expect to show" Fielder said,
that gigantic liquor violations were
uncovered by them in this country
and that some of the most distin-
guished men in this country were

PROVIDENCE, R. l., June 20.-As
result of the flooding with poison
Gus gas of the Senate chamber yes
terday and the collapse OF five sena-
tors, the Republican senator's an
nounced through the state central
committee today that they were leav-
ing the state and would not sit in
the Senate chamber until means were
taken to protect them.
This is an honest -to-goodness fight
against mob rule and mob violence,
William C. Pelkey. chairman of the
Republican state central COMMITTEES,
said. We are not going to give in
until we are assured that the Re
publican senator's will not have their
lives endangered. Until the executive
head of this state and the lieutenant
governor are willing to carry out
their duties and preserve order in the
state house the Republican senators
will refuse to attend sessions here.
MIR. Pelkey said that well known
thugs" were constantly circulating
among the spectators at the senate
sessions. He announced that the
Republican senators would remain
beyond the reach of legal process
until Gov. Flynn and Lieut.. Gov.
Felix A. Toupin, presiding officer of
the senate, agreed to have all unau-
thorized persons elected from the
chamber and corridors.
Unwisc to Return.
1T would seem to me unwise." the
statement read in part, for any of
the Republican senators to return to
the senate today. The result would
almost undoubtedly be that many
would be injured and perhaps some
persons killed, particularly If the Re

ings.~
The senate has been deadlock ed
since last January over the refusal
of the Republican majority to vote
favorably upon a measure for "a popu-
lar referendum on constitutional
convention. The lieutenant governor,
a Democrat, refrained from recoS-
nizing Republicans from the floor and
the Democratic minority has filibust
cred and used other obstructive tao
tics.
There are seventeen democrats in
the senate as against twenty-two Re-
publicans and as twenty constitutes
a quorum. it was considered probapie
that the Democrats would be unable
to do more today than continue the
recess which was declared yesterday.
Sees No Danger.
The Republicans have run out or

the law" said Senator John j. Nc
Crane. Democratic senator from

statement They're Just waiting for
