BOMBS STILL EXPLODING
IN LIQUOR SCANDAL
Mount Holly Guards Can't Account
For Shortage

1T is entirely measure of econ
omy, and is not occasioned by sus-
picion," was Judge Slaughter's COM
ment on the removal of the liquor
which was seized in the recent Ran
cocas rum raid, and which was moved
on Monday from the storage house in
Mount Holly to the State warehouse
in Trenton.
The removal of the liquor was in
charge of Captain Lamb of the New
Jersey State Police, and the order for
its removal was signed by William A.
Slaughter, of the Burlington County
Court.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bur
lington County has been spending
twenty dollars day to guard the
rum in Mount Holly, it was found up
on the checkup as the transfer was
being made that there were ten
cases short.
When the liquor was placed in the
garage in Mount Holly there were 491
cases and when it was taken out
Monday, there were 481 cases. Part
of The shortage was accounted for by
six cases of empty bottles. Four cas-
IS had disappeared entirely.
In order that there would be no
occurrence of the mixup that result
ed from the difference in the tally
Of State Police checkers and County
authorities when the booze was put
in the garage, five men were on hand
10 see that the stuff was accurately
checked. Captain John j. Lamb, of
the State Police; Roy Hall, Federal
agent; Herman Bading, acting head
of the Burlington County detectives;
George HillAnan, Jr., and the state
trooper who rode on each truck, all
carried small pad and pencil and
called out the number as each case
was loaded upon the truck.
As each truck was loaded, it was
lined up on a street in the vicinity
with a trooper armed with a riot gun
on guard. When all were ready, the
fleet of trucks, six in number, started
with their load of liquid treasure for
the State warehouse at Trenton. 1t

other institutions in the State. Sam
Piles of the liquor were retained by
the troopers and county officers for
evidence.
The resolution passed by the Coun-
ty Board of Freeholders called upon
Prosecutor Hillman for an official
statement regarding the expense that
was being thrust upon the county by
storing the rum, is believed to have
influenced Jayne, Hillman and Judge
William Slaughter to order its re-
moval.

THE SNOB," NEW MONTA BELL
FILM MAKES BOW NEXT WEEK
John Gilbert, Norma Shearer and
Conrad Nagel Included in Cast

"The Snob," the first production
for Metro-G oldwyn by Monta Bell,
brilliant young film director who star
tied the picture world with his di-
rection of Broadway After Dark, !"
one of the years biggest hits, is book
ed as the feature attraction at the
Bever-Lee Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday.
A great deal of interest attaches
itself to this picture because of Bells
sudden rise to prominence as di-
rector and because of the success of
Broadway After Dark and How to
Educate Wife
The young director has demon
strated his versatility by filming two
widely varied stories in his first two
pictures, and 'The Snob" is an en-
tirely different type of vehicle.
1t is an unusual story in one re-
spect at least, in that the central
character in an unsympatheic one,
and most of the picture is used to
create this personality.
John Gilbert, popular screen star
who became nationally known with
his work IN Monte Cristo,' Cameo
Kirby and other pictures, has one
of the most unusual roles of his ca
reer as 'the snob." Though it is
unusual for screen leading man to
appear in a part in which he does
not have the sympathy of the audi
ence, Gilbert was eager to play the
snob" because of the opportunity to
give am unusual and distinctive per-
torrance.
Norma Shearer, beautiful young
actress who has become popular re=
Gently in such pictures as Empty
Hearts, Broken Barriers, Pleas
ure Mad Broadway After Dark,
and others plays the feminine lead
The supporting cast includes Con-
rad Nagel in role almost equal to
Gilbert's, Phyllis Haver, Hedda Hop
per, Margaret Seldom, Jack Curtis,
Aileen Manning, Hazel Kennedy, Nell
lie BY Baker and others.
The story centers around a young
Instructor in an academy in Penn
syOvania Dutch town, who has ambi-
tions to scale the social heights. He
seeks the hand Of wealthy girl, but
marries school teacher who loves
him, when she is apparently dying.
She lives, however, and he makes
their married existence one of con-
tinued unpleasantness.
A young artist who loves the school
teacher, but has lost sight of her, is
shocked to find that she has married
the snob, who even since becoming a
father has continued his attentions to
4 the society girl. The young mother
finally learns of her husbands indis-
cretions, and promises to marry the
artist after her divorce is granted.

second and third classes are to be Sc

JUDGE BARS ALL
WHEELER DEALS
after ARREST
Ruling Gives Defense
Big Victory


GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 90
The defense in the trial of Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, on
charges Of misuse of office scored an
important victory today in a ruling
handed down in federal court here by
Judge Frank E. Dietrich.
UNFOLDING a motion by Senator
Walsh, chief defense counsel, the
court barred the prosecution from in
Producing evidence or testimony re-
lating to government oil permits that
were not actually pending before the
interior department in January, 1923,
the time when Wheeler's indictment
charged he illegally received fee to
appear before Washington authorities
relative to permits of Gordon Camp
bell, Montana oil operator and his as
sociates.
Blow to Prosecution.
The decision, admittedly, was a
great blow to prosecution, which was
attempting to implicate Wheeler in
all of Campbell's permits. The gov
eminent must now confne itself to a
narrowly restricted number of Camp
BELLS permits and show Wheeler's
activities in behalf Of those specific
assignments.
Expressing disappointment at the
ruling, John L. Slattery, United States
district attorney, announced that on
the remaining permits held admiss-
able by the court he would prove that
Wheeler after elected to the senate
actually received $4,000 from Camp
bell to straighten out oil land troubles
in Washington.
Relevancy of the permits was brot
up when Walsh moved to bar testi-
mony Of H. ]. Coleman, attorney for
the California Oil company, relative
to the company's purchase of permit
assigned to Louis z. Lincoln, en-
ploye Of Campbell. Wheeler and
Campbell attended meeting here in
February, 1928, when there was alleg-
ed to have been discussion of reassign-
ment of the Lincoln permit to Tom
Stout, ex-congressman from Montana.
Approval Of the interior department
was necessary to make the transfer.
"Don't Worry!" Said Wheeler.
Coleman was to testify, Slattery
told the court, that Wheeler assured
the oil men:
Don't worry, there's a Montana at
torney in the interior department, Ed
die Booth edwin S. Booth, former so
licitor) who will help out the Montana
boys"
This testimony was barred by
Walsh's motion.
Booth, here as a defense witness,
was indicted in Washington with
Wheeler and Campbell on charges of
conspiracy to defraud the government
out of government oil and gas lands

HILLCREST MINE

nen are determined to save the con-
ditions already won.
Where Wages Are Won.
The first break was when about so
or so men signed up for work at the
wage cut scale. The miners called
special meeting and decided to
picket the mine next morning-that
Is today.
About five men went to work in the
morning The afternoon shift stayed
ct home. The fun began when the
soabs had to run the gauntlet Of the
pickets.
MIR. "Kolehak" Evades PIekets.
One OF them got clear, he was an
ex-oficer Of Kolchak's army. Mr..
'Kolchak" had better keep lodging
the pickets. Everyone is satisfied
with the result Of the days picketing
and are confident of winning a de-
cent contract.
We are all to be on the job-the
picket hne-at a. m, good turn
out puts the crimp on the scabs' ef-
fort to break our solidarity.
Yesterday at Bellevue, one man met
his death by gas, another today got
both legs broken. A good start for
open shop conditions.
A Postscript on Mr.. "koIehak."
Later:-Only one man worked on
the shift Just over, and he lives in
side the picket lines. And today Mr..
'Kolchak" got his trimming. So
after all our picket line was very
effective.
