THE SLEUTH'S STORY

Washington. March 14.-More
sensations-the most lurid of the lot
Observation-Disclosures today into the
record of the senate committee in
vestigating Attorney General Daugh-
erty. AS usual they were fired off
with machine gun velocity.
CASTOR B. Means, former invesu-
gator for the department of justice,
and man of many adventures, who
declared his present business as AN
swering indictments" testified that
he was the money carrier" for Jess
w. Smith in various deals implying
corruption.
He told a startling tale of collec-
tons of money for Smith in sums
ranging from $1,000 to 100000, and
before he finished had brought Sec
rotary Melons name into a story
about permits for whiskey with
drawals, and said he had even once
investigated Attorney General
Daugherty himself for the late
President Harding.
Means was careful to say that the
charges against the attorney general,
which he investigated then, he found
to be without any foundation in fact.
He also disclaimed that in his testi-
mony today about Smiths alleged
money collections. he had any know
ledge of the attorney general being
involved, or receiving any of the
money collected for Smith, or one
w. T. Underwood, whom he named
in that collection.
At no time in his story Of money
collections did Means identify the
people he said he got 1t from.
Specifically, Means testified that
in February. 1922, at Smiths direct
ion. at the Old Bellevue Hotel in
Washington. he collected $10O,0O0 In
thousand dollar bills from an un-
named japanese representing Mitsui
and Company the Japanese banking
house, who brought it on behalf OF
the Standard Aircraft Corporation to
halt government action toward re-
covery of over-payments aggregating
S6,0OO,OOO ON war contracts. The
witness said that Smith came the
same night and took the money from
him.
Means further testified that at 9TH
err times he collected from persons he
did not name, sums running i'm the
total up to about $4,000 which he
said were for Smith and his asso-
ciates who in turn, he said. were

day on the north shore of Nantucket
Island.
The coastguard cutter Acushnet
which put out today in search of
boats from the Wyoming, reported
tonight that she found two masts
projecting from the water a quarter
OF a mile east of Pollock Rip light
ship. The cutter pulled on the masts
several times but was unable to move
the vessel beneath and finally gave
up the attempt on account of dark
ness.
Both vessels reported that there is
a vast quantity of wreckage floating
in the sea in the vicinity of the Pol
lock Rip station. There is no clue
tonight to the identity Of the second
vessel believed lost in the gales Of

masted schooner Cora F. Cressy of
Portland, Maine, seen in the vicinity
on Monday with the Wyoming.
reached Portland tonight.
The Anemone gave the position of
the wreckage as two miles northeast
of the Pollock Rip light vessel, re-
porting the sea at that point covered
with flotsam for a wide area. The
light vessel which was driven six
degrees from her position by the
gales, was brought back to her
course today. Many gas buoys also
were blown from place.
Coastguardsmen tonight expressed
the belief that the entire company of
the Wyoming was lost with her.

Messages received from the Acush-
net said she would continue her eff
forts to examine the sunken wreck
