CHICAGO HOTEL
Evidence Fails to Show
Morrison Officials
/. Guilt '--Yellowley

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. 21.-E. C. Yel-
lowley, prohibition administrator here,
has no intention, and never had any, of
closing the s1O,O0O,0OO Morrison hotel
by federal paddock proceedings because
"undercover" agents were able to pur-
chase liquor from employees.
They're making a mountain out of
a molehill," the enforcement chief said
There are no investigators there now
and there have been no secret confer
ences with a view of padlocking the
DOORS"
Edward Olson, district attorney, said
no evidence against the hotel had gone
through his office.
Their statements came after prohi-
bition agents working under Yellowley
had declared sufficient evidence had
been obtained to close the hotel and
said the governments plans had been
spoiled by premature publicity.
mo hotel is ever padlocked, Olson
said, unless officials of the hotel can
be shown to have had guilty knowledge. :
Harry c. Moir, president of the hotel
company, denied having any such knowl-
edge and reiterated his declaration
that the hostelry had been Framed .
by its own employees.

Clashes of Counsel E,1liue,l Road Trial
TOO HIGH.
IS CHARGE

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 21.-Vigorous
clashes between attorneys enlivened
today's proceedings in the states s431,-
900 highway suit, against the Hoffman
Construction company. After one lively
passage between Attorney General Dan
Moody and John d. McRae, Judge
George Calhoun called sharply for order
to still laughter of spectators.
R. ]. Hank, who resigned as state
highway engineer January at request
of the highway commission was the
only witness, being on the stand three
hours. He reiterated that the price of
thirty cents a square yard paid the de-
fendant company for asphaltic surfac-
ing was unreasonable and that he had
not been consulted by the commission
ers in their letting of the Hoffman
and American Road companies con-
tracts.
Specifications under which the Hoff-
man highway surfacing contracts were
let are not standard, and are different
from those under which contracts were
let during the past several years by the
highway commission, he testified. He
gave this testimony over defense OBJ
lection.
Hank said the only companies for
which the state agreed to furnish free
cover material after asphalt was ap-
piled were the Hoffman company and
the American Road company
IN applying two-course asphaltic
treatment, best results are obtained by
placing the second course shortly after
the first; otherwise the second treat
ment would run off or make the road
rough. The defendants did not apply
a second treatment, though they con
tend the state could have required
second course under the contract.
