Gives Vivid Story
(Continued from PAGE One)

at Colonel Williams home, the gen.
eral said cocktails were offered him as
soon as he entered, and that the col
onel disregarded his refusal to drink
and urged him to have one.p
They're very mild; better have
one" he quoted Colonel Williams as
saying.
To extricate himself from an en-
barrassing position General Butler ate
dinner at table separate from the
coloners cocktail-drinking guests; but
still Cocktails were offered to me
several times during the meal"
AS the dinner progressed. the gen.
eral testified. Il got the impression
Williams was becoming intoxicated
"He spoke to me at great length
on the civilizing effect of the radio
in the American home; talked loqua-
ciously about curious, antique pis-
toll he had.
"All this gave me the impression
he was getting full.
$50 went out and sat on the
porch"
But a little later, continued the
witness, the other guests emerged
from he house bringing the generals
cap and the information that 1--WE all
are going over TO the hotel to dance.
General Butler said he saw Colonel
williams stagger out Of the house
and across the lawn at this point,
but ignored the incident, hoping and
believing the colonel would be. pu:
to bed by one of his friends and
would not show UP at the hotel.
But when the general arrived at
the fashionable Hotel Del Coronado,
the colonel was there.
He was standing in "a room Off the
hotel ball room when I noticed him, "
General Butler related. Gle was
to fail. His face was slightly
standing in a poised position, about
flushed.
II looked away with a feeling that
he was intoxicated, and when he left
the hotel got the impression he was
being carried out.
Under cross examination General
Butler was asked if Colonel Williams
might not have been ILL.,, rather than
drunk.
Eyes. he might have been Ill; he
probably was. They usually get that
way when they're DRUM"
But defense counsel did not let 1t
go at that.
Ibid you call a physician to de-
termine whether Colonel Williams
was sick or intoxicated"
mo, I didn't" replied the wit
ness. "a doctor might have helped
the intoxication some, but he could
not have cured the situation Colonel
Williams created"
But, why did you not call a
board of inquiry to determine
whether the colonel actually was
intoxicated before moving to court
martial him?"
Because" retorted General But
Ter with asperity, ''in the ordinary
procedure of the marine corps we
do not call boards of inquiry to in
vestigate the condition of people we
know are drunk"
The general, who earned a repu-
tation as an arch enemy of liquor
before he was deposed as Philadel-
phia's police chief last December.
admitted he was nervous and suf-
fering from an infected tooth on the
night Of the Coronado party. He
denied, however, that the toothache
had irritated him into incapacity for
duty, thus answering the defense
suggestion that Colonel Williams
might have escaped courtmartial
had General Buffers teeth not been
hotheFing him.

Sketch Now Incumbent


Des Moines, Ia, April 12-(R)--
Daniel Steck, Iowa's first Democratic
United States Senator since the Civil
War, who was declared entitled to the
seat of Smith w. Brookhart by to-
days senate vote, is an Ottumwa
lawyer, who has taken little active
part in politics, and who was virtu-
ally drafted by his party in 1924 to
oppose Brookhart, In what most Of his
Democratic. colleagues regarded as a
hopeless cause.
The long fight before the senate,
which followed Iowa's closest cleo
ton to fill a major Office, started af-
ter campaign in which many Of
Brookhart's followers believed he
alone was responsible for his defeat
through his open break with Presi-
dent Coolidge and other party lead
ers.
The senate's decision promises an
unusually hard campaign in this state
for the Republican senatorial nomin-
alton in the June primary. Mr.. Brook
hart having previously announced if
unseated he would enter the primary
as an opponent of Senator A. 3. Cum
Minis.
1t also will result in one Of the
most active campaigns heretofore
made by the Democrats in this state,
in the hope they may gain Still an
other senate seat through tie sharp
split in Republican ranks that is ex-
pected to grow out of the Brookhart-
Cummins fight.
The decision was hailed by "regu-
lar" Republican leaders as victory
not only for the Democrats but for
the Republican organization as well,
since the state central committee has
for four years or more actively fought
Brookhart, declaring during the last
campaign that he divorced himself
from the party by his denunciation
of President Coolidge and Vice Presi-
Gent Dawes and his alignment with
the LaFollette cause.

WINS SENATE SEAT
Continued from pase onel

President Dawes. Brookhart was not
present. having been absent from the
chamber during the entire week Of
the argument.
The unseating Of Senator Brook
hart injects q new issue into Iowa
politics a. he Is expected to run
against Senator Cummings In the
approaching primary. He plans to
formally announce his candidacy to-
morrow. For this reason Senator
Cummins declined to vote on the con.
test.
An hour before the debate ended,
the galleries began to I'LL and mem
bers OF the House and clerks crowd
ed onto the Senate floor. Nearly all
OF the senators were present during
the closing debate and the chamber
was filled with tensity az senators in
last minute appeals sought to swing
doubtful senators to their side.
Senator Borah, Republican, idaho,
ended the discussion by declaring
there was no evidence to warrant
throwing aside Senator Brookhart's
certificate Of election, while Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, drew
fire when he accused the Senate
elections committee with failing to do
its duty in conducting the recount.
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ark
ansas. who drew up the committees
majority report favoring the seating
Of Steck, replied that no senator
could investigate the case and not
decide that Steck was elected. He
was supported by Senator George,
Democrat, Georgia, another member
Of the committee.
Although Mr.. Steck filed his con-
test Immediately after the 1924 cleo.
ton the investigating committee did
not submit its report to the senate
until few weeks ago, a majority
holding that on a recount of disputed
ballots the Democrat had received q
plurality in close race.
Brookhart, who supported the La
Follette-W Wheeler presidential ticket
in 1924. has been serving as a sena-
tor throughout the present session.
New England Senators In the roll
call follow: To unseat Brookhart,
Republicans, Butler, Dale, Gillett,
Greene, Keyes, Mclean. Democrats,
Gerry. Against unseating Brookhart:

Unique Angle to
Records Of Big
League Winners

New York, Dee. III NEA) Some
interesting dope relative to the win
ning Of major league pcnnants has
been dug up by one Of the many de-
ron stati.tleials.
Since the American. League came
into the field in 1900 only on four
occasions has any major league club
that was out in front on Sept. !,
failed to win the pennant.
Strangely enough, not once has
such thing happened in the Amer
lean League. The four upscts all
nave occurred in the National.
Twice the New York Giants have
been ovcrtaken after being in the
lead in early September, once by the
Cubs in 1908, when the Merklc Incl
dent prevented New York from win
ming their rush from the cellar to a
championshl
The other two exceptions wer,
when Cincinnati lost to Brooklyn in
1920 and Pittsburgh was tripped BIZ
New York in 1921. The Giants
brought about the defeat of Pitts
burgh by taking something like
seven straight from the Pirates.
However, it's a good bet that the
September leader will win the cham
pionsllip IN either major league.
