xvi ASEINGTON, May 13.-Since
WI that day in March. 1924,
-I when CASTOR B. Means told
the Daugherty investigating COM
nittte a few intimate details about
the Department of Justice, things
have rapidly gone from bad to worse
for this "super-detective. Already
under sentence to Atlanta for alleged
participation in a New York rum
ring, Means is now to face the ad-
ditional charge of forgery.
The Department Of Justice in the
forthcoming trial will charge that

is proved, it will tend to show that

Intimate With Powers
No detective in the recent history
Of washington affairs has enjoyed
greater intimacy with the powers

lent Harding, in 1921, had a par

mind, it was to CASTOR B. Means
that he turned for assistance.
When Attorney General Daugh-
erty was under fire in the House
of Representatives in 1929 It was
to Means that he turned for aid. He
assigned Means to the Job Of get

the Senate and the House who were
making efforts to impeach him. At
least, so Means later testified:
When Senator La Toilette in April,
1929, introduced a resolution to In

Dome 1t was Means who was as
signed to the job OF raiding the
Senator's office to learn how much
information he had.

told the Daugherty committee that

Gain of 1855 Cars Over
Year Before Shown
in Report

In spite Of a loss of more than 1000
cars in the amount of cabbage shipped
the past season over the season before,
fruit and vegetable shipments combined
from the Lower Rio Grande Valley
registered a gain of 1885 cars, according
to the final shipping report of the sea-
son issued yesterday at Harlingen by
w. NJ. Hundley, general agent of the
Gulf Coast Lines.
Almost every item in the list of prod
ucts supplied to the markets of the ma
tion by the Valley made gain with
the exception Of cabbage and melons
and the poor price of cabbage is large
ly responsible for the big reduction in
shipments of this crop.
Total shipments for the 1924-255 sea
son were 1850 cars as compared tc
1902 cars for the 1923 season.
Carlot freight shipments in the sea
son just passed totalled 1888; carlo'
