LAWYERS WILL ACT
ON REMUS JURY AT
SPECIAL MEET TING

CINCINNATI, Dec. 26 (P)-A special
meeting ofuthe Cincinnati Bar as
sociation has been called for Thurs
day night to discuss action of the jury
that tried and freed George Remus,
former 'king of bootleggers," for the
Staying of his estranged wife, Imogene
Holmes RemuS.
Judge Walter A. Ryan, president oil
the Cincinnati Bar association, said
tonight that possibly a committee
would be appointed to investigate de-
velopments following the trial
1t was said the verdict of the jury
in the case itself is thought to be fairly
characteristic Of the sentimentalism OF
American jttries, but it's action in petl-
tioning the trial judge, Chester r.
Shook, in behalf of John S. Berger, a
defense witness who was indicted on
the charge of perjury and pctitioning

half of Rernus himself was unpreced-

would cheer up and wave to the
crowds which pressed against the train
at every stop. His appearance, said
those who knew him, had changed
greatly in the last ten days. He had
lost much neight and was markedly
jale. He wore worried look as he
sat shackled to an officer.
When Hickman was brought into the
baggage car to permit newspaper
photographers to obtain picture, he
appeared very slight as he stood be-
tween his captors, Tom Gurdane, chief
OF police at Pendleton, and Cecil
'Buck" Lieuallen His pallor was ac-
centuated by his dark hair.
The train was heavily guarded, not
only by Los Angeles police and his
captors, but by :. ,ilroad police. Crowds
gathered at every station where the
train stopped. Seemingly they hat
been advised OF the location of the
prison car, for they dashed up to it,
eager to obtain a, glance at Hickman
through the car window. The crowds
appeared curious, but few threats or
hostile remarks we're heard.

Now
Puts Blame Up
To Cornmissiol

PHOENIX Ariz., Dec. 26, N9--
State Treasurer Callaghan issued a
signed statement today denying that
either his department OF the state
legislature is responsible for delay in
constructing the highway projects
listed in Governor Hunts emergency
proclamation of July IL, and attri-
buting instead to "an impediment
deliberately created by the highway
commission ITSELF"
Ample funds we're made available
by the legislature, Callaghan con-
tends, when it passed the highway
code. These have been at the dis
position of the highway commission,
had it chosen to avail itself of them,
ever since the budget went into ef-
feet September 10, his statement
continues Instead, he continues, the
commission insisted on proceeding
under the governors proclamation,
which the state treasurer holds as
illegal
'Instead of nationally proceeding
immediately with the construction of
these projects by means OF funds
provided by the highway act, Gala
ghen states, the commission ill
advisedly elected to institute action
in the supreme court against this
department to compel it to honor
warrants issued under the proVis-
ions of the governors proclamation" :"

WASHINGTON (P).-The naval es-
tabHshment headed today by Curtis d.
Wilbur, naval academy graduate and
former chief justice OF the supreme
court of California, is massive ex-
ample of the evalution of mechanics
and the art of ship building.
The modern cruiser of the type
sought by advocates of a stronger navy
is a vessel vastly different from its
predecessor of l30 years ago, although
the purposes for which they were built
were virtually the same.
The Constellation, for instance, won
renown as "Phe Yankee Race Horse, .
after she was launched in 1897 as a
sister ship of the Constitution and
proved her superior cruising qualities.
She is known now as the Old Constel-
lation, and is the Oldest naval vessel
in commission, being used as re-
ceiving ship at Newport, r. I.
In her prime, the Constellation
could make a speed of 10 knots, on the
wind, or 1919 running before the wind.
But now the ships designed for scout
ing, raiding and destroying enemy COM
merce have to be fleet vessels. For
instance, the U. S. S. Marblehead,
which was commissioned in 1924 and
has speed of 1877 knots, while her
draft of 143 feet is eight less than
that of the old frigates. Further, the
, Marblehead is a 75O0-ton vessel, and
her machinery, with potential horse
power of 92,775, alone weighs more than
the 1852 tons of the Constellation. That
frigate was 161 feet long, with 40-foot
beam, compared with the 555 feet of
the Marblehead and 55-foot beam
With her crew OF 300 to 40O the
Constellation could fire a broadside of
432 pounds, whereas the Marblehead.

180O-yard range of the frigate's bat

guns than the SO Of it's predecessor,
being equipped with 12 six-inch guns,
two three-pound saluting pieces, two
21-inch triple torpedo tubes and two
twin tubes for torpedoe- of the same
