torney Frank l.. Peckham says

Cooley" and wishes his name
changed to Joseph Cooley" He

BUNK
Assistant Attorney General
Says Investigators Can't
Afford Booze

agents of the bureau of in
vestigation Of the Department of
Justice make barely enough money
to pay their grocery bills, let
alone buy whiskey for Govern
ment witnesses"
This was the statement today
Of Oliver E. Pagan, Special Assist
ant Attorney General in denying
charges made by Senator Burton
X. Wheeler of Montana, yester-
day, in which he charged wit
nesses who appeared before the
grand jury here, which indicted
him "were herded in a hotel by
Government agents who fed them
booze and drank with them to q
state of debauchery."
All Leading Citizens.
Characterizing Senator Wheeler's
charges as bunk Mr.. Pagan said
that most the witnesses who APP
peared before the grand jury were
leading bankers. lawyers and bust
ness men from Montana, and that
at no time did any Of them show
evidences Of being under the in
Guence OF liquor when they ap-
peared in the grand jury room, or
OF having been drunk the night
before.
Mr.. Pagan also pointed out that
few Of the witnesses were here at
one time. "They came to Wash
ington and went out over a period
of a month. and the Government
certainly could not keep them here
all that time, as IL would be en-
tirely unnecessary and would also
cost too much" he said.
No Signs Of Drinking.
District Attorney Peyton Gordon
said that there was no evidence at
any time to indicate that any Of
the witnesses were drunk, or had
been drinking, and said that Sena-
tor Wheeler's charges were AL
foolishness.'
D. A. Skinner, secretary OF the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States, foreman of the grand
jury, today vehemently denied Sena.
tor Wheeler's charges. He branded
as absolute falsehood charges that
witnesses and jurors had engaged
in drunken revels.
II never saw q witness or a juror
In this case take drink; ! never
smelled liquor on the breath Of any
one of them and / never saw any
OF them show any indication Of in
toxication," Mr.. Skinner said.

Looks like It," Danny replied.
IT'S clean getaway"
Milliken stared.
What? Were you doped, then?"
he asked
YES. The attack was on the White
House. The President and Miss Tor
rance were put to sleep.
For the first time in my experience
of him / saw Milliken grow really
angry. The blood rushed to his face
until it was black.
Miss Torrance he choked. Here!
C'mon after themr'
Easy Milliken," checked him
gently. "Wo don't know yet which
way the raiders have gone. I had
hopes that the aerodrome knew of
the attack, and had some idea Of the
direction they took"
mot a scout went up, sir, on ac-
count OF the raid" he said thickly.
"If I'd only knownl I'd have given
them something-the swinei Dope a
girl like Miss Torrance, would they?
Look here, Mr.. Boon-Mr. La
mont" he went on presently In his
normal voice. I've been thinking
this thing out in my own way. I've
been studying the map a Bit and
calculating distances and that. I've
worked out times, too. From what I
ting she has a fair pair of legs-not
up to the Merlin, but still fair enough
for an airship. Look at this morning.
Six hundred kilometers in two hours!
There's legs for an airship," Milli-
ken insisted Here. Mr.. Boon-and
you, Mr.. Lamont-just have a look at
this. This map. I figure it like
this"
He had dived into his locker and
Ia nf n
Western Hemisphere. On this he had
drawn a complicated series Of lines,
carefully tagging the longitude and
latitude of each known raid. 1t was
an interesting piece of work, and it
showed that old Milliken was silent
to some purpose If he thought the
more.
What do you think of it?'' asked
Dan.
Christopher" said he. Il think
Millikens got a hot idea. Good for
you, MILK en-"
We went over the theory carefully
once more, checking Milliken's figures.
The idea was more than feasible.
You're betting, then. MiTlikep, that
the base is somewhere on~tfe Spanish
Main?" l said to him.
The Spanish Main" he cried.
why, so 1t is, l never thought OF
1t so-but SO 1t is! Now wouldn' [
that be just the place for the dern
pirates%'
1t was obvious that the romantic
associations Of the old name had fired
the ina gination of Milliken. but that
did not affect the attra ctiveness of
his notion. A feature of il was that
he had worked the whole thing out
on the basis of one airship. l thought
this point a triie stretched, myself.
1t was giving the airshfp of the
raiders power that was simply
miraculous. but even worked out on
the basis l held to, that the raiders
had stations on either side of the
Atlantic, there was a good deal in the
idea. ' slapped my mechanic on the
back, anyhow.
Good enough, Milliken," | said.
Wen head south for a start!'

went on a rampage.
People fled before him
seeking shelter, as his wild
believing heralded his ap-
proach.
Posses have been organized from
neighboring cities and the greatest
hunt in the county's history is on as
armed forces try to halt the mad
flight of the elephant, last seen headed
toward Pearsall.
Everything was laid waste before
him; fences, barns and gstes were
scattered in his wild charge.
Thousands of cattle, terrified by the
big beast, broke through the gaps in
the fence and are roaming at large.
The elephant burst open the door
of his freight car stable on the sid
ing at Sabinal early Saturday and
started his rampage. Through the
town he went, wrecking everything in
his path. Then he struck out across
the plains. Three miles of fence were
laid waste.
Persons driving through the coun-
try, seeing the giant charging down on
them, abandoned their cars and ran
to safety. Farm horses became terri
fled and ran away.
Everything gave him wide path.
Last reports were that he was APP
preaching Sinclair, small town near
Sabinal, and was headed for Pearsati.
Posses of rsnchers, officers and citi-
zeis were hastily organized, com
Wandering cars and the pursuit of the
elephant started. No report from the
posses in the field has been received.
