.DAUGHERTY TRIAL
 PROCEEDING TODAY
Evidence Is Money Was Paid to
 NOn-Gernlan Firm

New York. Sept. 13 CP,-A letter from government files tending to show that the Societie Suisse Pour Naleurs De Mataux was not German owned was read into the testimony today at the resumption of the trial of Thomas W. Miller, former alien property custodian and ex-Attorney General H. NJ. Daugherty, charged with defrauding the government. William S. Rand, counsel for Miller, offered the lengthy document.
 The government has claimed that the Swiss organization was a hold ing company for the two German organizations, the Metallbank and the Metallgeselschaft The assets of the American Metals company, own ed by the German companies were seized during the war and sold for S7,O0o,00O, which later was turned over to the allegedly neutral Swiss organization.
 Richard Mhrtgn, Frantfort- On Main capitalist and head of the two German companies has testified that he paid $441, 900 commission" to the late John T. King, one time Con- necticut republican national com mitteeman, to get the impounded assets. United States Attorney Emory R. Buckner has alleged that this money was a bribe and was split between Miller and Daugherty.
 Merton. the governments star wit ness, who was excused last week had been expected to undergo cross examination at the resumption of the trial today. There was an ap- parent discrepancy in his testimony regarding the Swiss organization. He sWore last Wednesday that the so- ciety was owned by his family. On Friday he testified it was not and never had been an enemy corpora ton.
 MT. Rand also read to the jury a copy of an opinion of a Swiss judge upholding the legality of the claim of the Swiss society to the as- sets of the American Metals Com pany.
 Several passages from the papers filed in connection with the Societe Suisse's claim, calculated apparent ly to uphold the contention of the defense that the claim was perfectly legal, were read to the jury. Merton has already testified that the assets in question were transferred to the Swiss Company orally before the United States entered the World war. but that no written confrma- ton of the transfer was made until more than two years later.
 After tho documents had been read Merton was recalled to the stand and his cross examination re- sumed.
 Sharp clashes between counsel for the defense, Mir. Buckner, and Judge Julian W. Mack, precipitated by in sistent questions from two of the jurors. interrupted the cross exam ination.
 The trouble centered about the question of the exact date of the | actual transfer of the stock of the | American Metals Company to the | Socicte Suisse. Documents con- tained in the Societe's claim, filled with the alien property custodian, 1 had been read to the jury but it was apparent that this point had not been made clear 10 the entire panel when two jurors interrupted with {. questions

Of Federal Exhibit
o the Editor of The Star

10 tue EQltOr OF Inc S6aT.
Your editorial in The Evening Star,
December %, 1926, suggesting "A
Permanent Federal Exhibit" here in
Washington, should receive the
thoughtful consideration of every
American citizen.
AS you say, in regard to the Govern
ment exhibits made at temporary ex-
hibitions, "the Federal exhibits should
be kept intact and preserved here in
Washington for the education and en-
lightenment of the great numbers who
visit the Capital between these fairs
or exhibitions only that, but I
add, If / may, q way could be pro-
vided and knowledge and impress
sion of things exhibited and facts de-
termined should be carried to all the
people. in their schools and commu-
nifty centers, by motion picture films,
lantern slides, diagrams and illus
trations, descriptive matter, phono-
other available means.

at Government expense, are becom-
ing more and more clearing houses
of practical, useful knowledge.
This knowledge should be for the
edification and qualification, not
only of those who live in or visit
Washington, but for all the. people.
If broad and liberal plan were
thought out, which would be for the
educational and welfare betterment of
all the people, 1 have faith that our

Driving an automobile In the pres

Christmas Fireworks.

Lass of life from fireworks and
firearms in the South at Christmas is
reported. When fireworks are used
by persons uninstructed In their use
accidents and fatalities often result
The custom of employing fireworks
in the celebration Of Christmas con-
tinues In parts Of the Southern States
and is q survival of the very old
English custom of marking Christ
mas by q show of pyrotechnics.
Fireworks go back good many CEN
turies in Europe. Before the intro
duction of gunpowder there were
bonflres and illumination by torches.
Gunpowder was early put into use
for fireworks and rockets, Roman
candles and colored flares were Used
at fetes in the Middle Ages in the
celebration Of holidays, notably
Christmas. This custom was brought
to the American colonies and where
fireworks were not available men
would salute the day by discharging
their fowling pieces. In communities
where a cannon was at hand it would
be fred in the public square or on
the green as a greeting to Christmas.
The noisy Christmas has almost
passed in the United States. 1t has
also passed in England. but it's place
has been taken by Boxing day, which
is the day after Christmas, taking
it's name from the custom of giving
Christmas boxes as presents. In
England Christmas is a quiet home
keeping and family reunion day, but
on Boxing day the populace gives
itself up to public amusement. The
old fashioned noisy Christmas fingers
in parts of the South and there fire.
works are lighted and firearms
discharged as a tribute to the day.
