AGENT AID MITS
 BUYING LIQUOR
 OF LINERS CREW
Orduna Conducted Regu- lar Traffic In Contra
 band, Is Testimony

NEW YORK, March 14.-Trial of the governments suit for confiscation of the Royal Mail liner Orduna, seized Wednesday as smuggler, began today with witnesses testifying that narcotics and liquor were sold freely each time the vessel reached this port and that her owners shared the proceeds.
 Champagne, whisky, benedictine, rum, beer, gin and drugs were dispensed to bootleggers by officers and crew of the Orduna, according to the testimony. The witnesses, including federal agents and members of the crew, declared the Orduna's bar never was closed in port.
 At the outset of the proceedings, k. J. Berwind, American and British coal operator and 1inancier, posted $1 ,0O0,- 900 bond so the Orduna might continue in trans atlantic passenger service. She is scheduled to sail for Hamburg tomor- row with IA passengers.
 Charles Dave, the ships storekeeper and one of the seven members of her crew to plead guilty of illegally trans porting liquor, was the government s principal witness. He testified that in his three years on the Orduna, liquor had been aboard her every time she reached the port of New York. He de- clared the liquor was brought in under seals, the seals were broken when the vessel docked, the liquor was disposed of to bootleggers and the storeroOm sealed again by his shipmates.
 Dave identified Joseph Smith, one of the revenue agents who raided the ship on Wednesday and one of the gov ernment's chief witnesses today, as a bootlegger who often had bought liquor on the Orduna.
 Smith told of joining the government service, of boarding the Orduna with a fellow agent two voyages ago, and of buying rye whisky at $23 case and gin at $3 a bottle. They also drank good beer over the ships bar at Dave s invitation, said the witness.
 Smiths next visit to the Orduna was when she reached port in February. Ralph Oyler, a federal narcotic agent, accompanied him. Smith testified he bought 30 cases of whisky at $35 a case from Storekeeper Dave and his linen man and that Oyler bought sev- eral ounces of narcotic drug.
 Smith also testified that he and Oyler last Tuesday arranged with Dave to buy all the champagne, gin, rye and benedictine in the ships storeroom, and a considerable supply of narcotics. It was on the pretense of taking off these purchases the next day that a squad of federal men raided the ship, made seven prisoners and impounded the vessel.
 Counsel for the defense indicated that the Royal Mail line owners defense would be that the whisky and narcotics were smuggled in and sold without knowledge of themselves, ships master, Capt. Walter Warner, or other rPspon- Sible officers aboard

BONUS BILL VOTE
 SET FOR TUESDAY
Suspension Of Rules Will Halt
 Changing Insurance Plan

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The House will vote next Tuesday on the soldiers bonus bill under an agreement reached today.
 Speaker Gillett announced he would entertain a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill approved by the ways and means committee.
 Under that procedure a two-thirds vote will be required for passage. Only one day will be devoted to debate, and it will be impossible for House mem bers to offer amendments.
 Chairman Green had intended to call the bonus bill up Monday, the only day in the week in which motions to suspend the rules are in order, but Represents tive Longworth, the republican leader, got unanimous consent to take it up on Tuesday.
 Representative Garrett, democratic leader, protested against action on the bill under rules which would cut off amendments, and Representative Hud- dleston, democrat, Alabama, who favors cash bonus, declared the suspension programme was an effort to ram down the throats of House members "the conl- mittee insurance policy plan."
