OFFICERS LENEARTH
 NEW LIQUOR STILL
Strange Contraptien Found I'm
 mersed In Water

Innumerable devices for the manu- facture of liquor, wines and other in- toxicants have been unearthed by law enforcement officers since the time when breaking of the prohibition law became popular among the less lawful classes in the United States.
 Particularly since the reduction in the number of distillers, through actir vities of prohibition agents, the remain ing law breakers constantly have been deyising new apparatus for quantity production. Seasoned prohibition men generally have seen about all the, diff. ferent schemes used by distillers for rapid-fire manufacture,
 Three agents from the Birmingham branch of the federal prohibition en- forcement department however, We'd nesday morning early found device new to all of them, and believed to have been one of the first found in Alabama.
 During a raid in Sinclair county they unearthed new type condenser, or cooler, attached to a still of about 300 gallons capacity. This cooler con sists of cylinder copper tank, about one foot in diameter and two feet high. It is constructed in fashion similar to a steam engine boiler, with seven flues of about 2-inch diameter running through it. The product of the distil- lation is run into the main body of the tank, which is immersed completely in water.
 With the water filling the flues, as we'll as covering the tank itself, an unusually large cooling surface is avail able. Approximately twice as much liquor can be manufactured with a de-. vice of this kind as with an Old-type condenser it is estimated.

.LEHMAN'SSTORY TOGRAND JURY
 LOSES CREDENCE
Youths Unsupported Tes-
 timony May Fail To s Bring Indictments

q William L. Lehman's story that the rfecent city hall shortage aggregated N@25, 900 and that he was not the only
 person involved. was ridiculed and de-
 nied in testimony given the grand jury
 late Wednesday by Craig Jeffry, clerk
 in the city comptroller's office, and C..
 Palmer Parker, certified accountant, who made the last audit of the books. " Parker defended his audit placing the
 shortage at S7,145, and Jeff testified
 that a careful check by department of- -fieials showed Lehman got all the { money.
 The youthful clerk, who received
 sentence of from one to three years for
 embezzlement, again was closeted with
 the grand jury and amplified his sensa- oftional testimony of the previous day. :. He stuck to his story that he only took 4,900, and named other persons he claimed were involved.
 Solicitor Jim Davis said the investi- gation would probably be concluded 2 Hate Thursday. He declared Lehman had repeated in detail the story he told shortly after he was sent to Kilby pris- on to begin his sentence.
 Witnesses EXamlnod
 A number of witnesses will be ex- amined Thursday. the solicitor said. 'ssOn their testimony the outcome of the | probe hinges, he indicated. Thus far, sssL Lehman's charges have not been sup Ixported by other witnesses. ssss Asked if he thought the jury would ~ vote indictments, Solicitor Davis an- " swered:
 N q can't tell until after Thursdays 
 s.A This statement led to the belief that fhe jury would not be willing to return on the unsupported state ss4nents of Lehman.
 M Lehman will remain in the city until he investigation is finished. He is in m he custody of his parents and is being 'gsallowed to spend his nights at home. - Lehman talked freely to reporters V md others who congregated outside the sN;rand jury room. sas I'm by myself so far, but I think s@l'Il have some company from Birming- slam before this investigation is over" sse Tells Wierd Story sss Lehman was asked specifically about lis charge that between $20,000 and - 25 900 is missing, although the audit re~ nly revealed a shortage of $7 ,145. se@ It'll be hard to check up," he an- wered, land part of the shortage can't

Chicago manufacturer, continued to-

The murder suspect, alleged by
two witnesses to have been seen last
as he rushed from the bungalow
court apartment in which Mrs. Hum
was killed, was the subject of a wide
spread man hunt, one of the most
prominent features of which was an
unproductive search of the home cf
Mrs. Frances Morehouse, Conner s
aunt.
From Mrs. Morehouse police said
they learned that Conner had told
her that he was through with
crime" because it doesn't pay, but
had added that some crook is go-
ing to get Mrs. HUM and get her
good if she don't quit flashing her
diamonds around the way she does.
More than $4,000 worth of jewels
thought at first to have been stolen
from Mrs. Hum, were found today in

Wilberforce, Margaret of Savoy, the
Colonna and Frangipani families and
numerous lesser cardinals and mobiles.
Two American cardinals, although
they were not buried in the Minerva,
were connected with it during life.
Both John Cardinal McCloskey, the
first American cardinal, and the late
Cardinal John Farley of New York
had the Minerva as their titular
church.
Present Restrictions.
The glories of the Minerva have
suffered somewhat from the over
throw of the papal government in
1870. For ages previous to that time
the Popes and the whole pontifical
court had come to the Minerva every
year on the feast of the Annuncia-
ton. Up to the time of Plus vi the
Pope rode a white mule in the pro-
cession and carried the Blessed Sac
pontiff could not conform to the
reigning custom he appointed the
Grand Almoner to sit on the papal,
mule and carry the Sacred Host. The
Holy Father followed in a coach. This
custom held sway until 1870. All of
this, of course, was abandoned when
the Pope became the prisoner of the
Vatican.
Moreover, the italian government
has taken over some parts of the
convent for government work and de-
prived tbs order of it's remarkable
CaSanate Library.
The headquarters, the world Offices
for so many centuries of the Holy
Name, Society remain one of the
principal points of observation for
Roman tourists. They are magnificent
and venerable, old and yet well pre-
served. And their glory is no less real
because so much TO it is of the past.

The officers were reelected year
after year, with the exception of the
treasurer, who served less than one
term, his place being filled by the
election OF Timothy G. Cavanaugh.
In 1916 the secretary refused re-

elected in his stead. A few years
later John c. Schombert was elected
treasurer. who is still retaining the
office
In 1921 a change in the presidency
Guilfoyle was elected president and

HOLY NAME BRANCH
BOON TO SOCIETY
Organization in Holy Trinity
in 1913 Brought New Life
to Work Here.

The organization Of branch of
the Holy Name Society in Holy Trim
ity Church, Georgetown, D. c., jan
uary II. 1913, may be said to have
been the incentive that put new life
into the society Of the Washington
section. While the society had been
in existence for a number Of years
in some other parishes, very little
energy and activity seemed to be dis
played. But with the advent of Holy
Trinity new life, new vigor was i'm
parted. interest in the organization
was increased and has steadily in
creased since then until the present
time.
This revivifying effect was not due
so much to the mere organization of
branch in Georgetown, but was due
entirely and solely to the energy and
zeal Of the members of the new
branch. New ideas in organization
work were introduced; systematic
reckoning of the attendance at holy
communion was kept and various
other schemes were adopted, such as
entertainn ents, smokers, lectures and
so forth to interest the men in the
society.
The result was that nearly every
man In the parish became affiliated
with the branch, and Holy Trinity
was for some years the leader nu-
merically in membership.
New Branches Started.
The ideas of this new branch were
copied by other already existing
branches; new branches were started
and in nearly every instance the Holy
Trinity branch was held up as
model of efficiency and a sample of
what might be called live wire"
and il still remains live wire" to
this day.
The initial meeting was called and
the temporary officers were selected
by Father Corbett. They were: John
II. Doyle. president; Frank J. Wiss-
ner. secretary, and Frank X. Green.
now marshal of the Supreme Court
of the United States, treasurer. At
the initial business meeting other
officers were elected as follows: Vice
president. Joseph c. Murray. who
died few years ago, and Daniel
Sullivan, marshal Mr.. Green being
unable to serve as treasurer, Michael
+. Harty was elected treasurer.
On January 27, 1913, 36s Holy Name
members were solemnly received into
the society by the pastor, Rev. Ed
ward NJ. Corbett. S. j. In the follow
ing years new members were con-
stantly increasing the ranks. until
May, 1920. when the number of mem
bers received in the seven years of
its existence amounted to 778. Vari-
Gus solemn receptions were held; as

lency, the apostolic delegate, now
Cardinal BonZano, was present or the
one Of February Is. 1920, when Very
Reverend James II. Fowler, o. P,
prior of st. Dominic's, received some
20 new members.
In the new Holy Trinity branch the
| members were divided into bands and
| to each a prefect was assigned. Every
| prefect had in his band members liv-

attendance could readily be ascer-
tanned. The colored members were
