Muldoon Approves
Action of Richard

Now York, April 22.-Pl-Tex
Richard will not face united oppo-
sition from the State Athletic Com
mission in his plans to promote
Dempsey Tunney title battle here in
September, in spite of the threat of
James A. Farley, commission chair
man. to discipline the promoter.
William Muldoon, 81 year old
member Of the commission and for
mer chairman of it, has come out in
support of Richards plans and taken
sharp issue with Farley.
Muldoon is quoted today by the
Times as decidedly opposed" to a
bout between Dempsey and Harry
Wills, while believing a "Tunney-
Dempsey fight would be far more in
teresting.''
Il approve of Richards actions"
Muldoon said. -"All this threatening
Richard, these announcements that
he will be kept out of boxing here,
are ridiculous to anybody familiar
with the situation. My term of five
years association with boxing in adj
ministrative capacity. expires on

to any such action as it being con-
templated against Rickard l will

two hours the crowd which packed
the hearing room and overfowed into
the reserve space in front Of the
committee table.
The central figure again was SEN
ator Reed. Democrat, Missouri, who
clashed with his colleagues time and
again, vigorously cross examined
witnesses and characterized as "fan-
atics and fools" those who laughed
at his declaration that he was not on
either side in the wet and dry con-
troversy.
Another figure bulking large in the
proceedings was Mayor Dever, Of
Chicago. who appeared at his own re-
quest to refute what he regarded as
aspersions cast upon the Chicago DO
lice by United States District Attor-
ney Olson, of Chicago, in testimony
before the committee.
e. c. Dinwiddie, superintendent Of
the National Temperance Bureau, as
sailed the vets for proposing to bring
back light wine and, beer and engage
ed in verbal sparring match with
Senator Reed on the proposition that
the legal sale would improve moral
conditions.
At one point, in the exchange,
Chairman Harreld accused Senator
Reed of "bullyragging" the witness
and the Missourian replied that he
/ had been more polite "to this witness
than you are to me now"
Some intimate details with names
and places regarding conditions in
the mountains of West Virginia be-
fore and since Prohibition were OBJ
frn, Dot
| master of Ep, KY, who said he was
sorry to confess he began selling
liquor in af"blind tiger" at the age
of eight.
After the session ended, five hours
and five minutes of time for the
hearings remained and Chairman
Harreld said he hoped to wind them
up Saturday by holding two sessions
tomorrow. Both sides plan to put
in more testimony and then to con-
sumo the remainder of their time
| with arguments on the evidence re-
ceived during the three weeks of
hearings.
Mayor Dever, who will return to
the witness stand tomorrow, declar-
ed Chicago had been maligned twice
before senate committees within a
few months and that he was on
hand to vindicate it if he could
Turning to the claims of District
| Attorney Olson that the federal
forces closed up the Chicago brew
| cries, Mr.. Dever declared that when
he first asked cooperation of govern
| ment officials he did not receive a
satisfactory reply and got assistance
only when he threatened to lay all
| the facts con President Coolidge's
desk" and ask for aid.
Flatly denying Olson's statement
that the district attorneys office
closed the breweries. Mayor Dever
said he had put police in the brew
cries and closed them up and that
then the district attorney padlocked
them on evidence presented by the
Chicago police.
The mayor also hotly denied Oh
sons statements that there were
stills known to the police in every
precinct in Chicago and that it
would not be difficult for 5000 po-
licemen to pull them out by the
roots"
Going into a recital of the de
plorable" conditions he found in Chi
cago when he became mayor in 1928
and telling of his efforts to clean up
the town, Mayor Dever demanded to
know if the committee thought the

city officials would "sell out the city
to bootleggers and beer runners"
Mr.. Dinwiddie was the FIRST Of the
two witnesses called by the drys.
After he had accused the witnesses
OF inconsistency and with failure to
help enforce the Volstead act, Sen
ator Reed began more than half an
hours cross examination in which
the sources Of contributions to the
temperance bureau and the policy Of
the Anti-Saloon League in political
campaigns came In for particular at
tention.
The temperance bureau superin-
tendent conceded that one worker Of
temperance legislation: stated that
and declared that the Anti-Saloon
League had opposed the reelection
Of senators and congressman with
wet leanings.
Declaring that the country would
revolt" against any return to the
legalized liquor traffic. Dinwiddie
challenged the opponents of prohi-
bition Ito seek to secure the open
championship Of their cause by any
major political party in this coun-
try and then watch the result"
Murphy's statement was compare
lively brief, but it seemed to carry a
punch for the spectators. who FREE
quently burst into laughter at some
of his descriptions.
Outlining what he regarded as
some Of the benefits of prohibition,
Murphy said that in the days Of the
saloon a Judge Herndon in his coun-
ty in West Virginia got so drunk that
he was unable to walk up in the
courtroom, but that now he is a
sober man and a church goer.
Estate Senator j. w. Luther used
ITO be what we called a sot," he ad-
ded. "Now he is a sober, upright
man."
Cross-examined by Senator Reed,
Murphy said there could not be much
distilling in homes because there was
no place to keep the mash.
"Oh, the business has advanced
since you quit it," Senator Reed
said. NOW they use corn sugar and
there is no mash"
Murphy said that in his section
there were no blind tigers and that
what distilling was done was in the
hollows and hills and not in the
homes.

him that there was q commotion on
Water street. Mr.. Gaskell. knowing
that an ofiicer was on duty in that part
Of the city, did not go to Bolduc's.
When he went to headquarters about
he learned that Deputy Marshal Albert
Thibodeau had investigated the COM
plant, but he had found Mrs. Bolduc
In bed in quiet condition and he did
not feel that he could arrest her with
out warrant. About s o'clock q Sec
ond complaint came to headquarters to
the effect that crowd had gathered
outside the Bolduc house and that
there was considerable commotion.
Upon this warrant was procured and
Mr.. Gaskell, Mr.. Thibodeau and Po-
lice Officer Joseph Violette went to the
house. Mrs. Bolduc was found in bed,
fully dressed, and when she was or
dered to get up she stoutly refused.
1t was with much effort that the off,
GERS subdued her and got her into a
taxicabf in which she was carrie dto
the city building. where she furnished
bonds for her appearance yesterday.
Mr.. Gaskell said that the woman ap-
peared to be under the influence of
some liquor or drug. Under cross
examination the chief said that the
only disturbance to his knowledge oc-
Cured when the respondent was taken
from the house.
Joseph Cloutier testified that as he
was standing on Water street he saw
Mrs. Bolduc break the window to get
into the house. Another witness was
Joseph Dorval, who lives above Mr..
Bolduc, and he said that he had seen
the defendant come onto the porch
and speak to the crowd that had as
sembled. He also said he wanted her
to get out of the house as he feared
she would set fire. Norman, the 49,
year-old son of Mr.. Dorval, testified
that he had seen the glass broken and
that he had been in the crowd when
Mrs. Bolduc threw things at it from
the porch. Albert Perry, who lives d.
rectly behind the Bolduc house. said
he had seen the defendant break the
glass, but he took no interest in the
case.
The only witness for the defense
was Deputy Marshal Thibodeau. He
said that he smelled no liquor about
Mrs. Bolduc but that she appeared in
a highly nervous state.

ELAVOR is the aIl-important point
II in food. In oats it is probably
more important than in any other.
That is why people who once taste
the toasty richness of Quaker Oats
are spoiled thereafter for all others.
Quaker favor is unique, toasty and
delightful. No other oats offers it
to you. Some so years were spent
perfecting it.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
of the bulk" of oats. And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and this
bulk" are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an excellently balanced
ration.
For your own sake, say Quaker"
when buying oats. Two kinds now at
groceries: Quick Quaker Cooks in 5

always.
