the st. Louis Exposition, and now
Is working on a $l,OO0,OO0 EXPOSE

that Mr.. Berger is very wealthy

Taft objected. and the court sus.I

ranks.
All Indications point to bloc rule
on the three outstanding legislative
measures confronting the new Con.
gress.
These are the tax bill, a farm
relief measure and flood control
legislation.
On the tax bill the insurgents
sided with Secretary OF the Treas.
ury Mellon against the Democrats
IN his demand for limited reduc-
ton of $225, 10000
On the other hand they disagreed
with Mellon and sided with the
Democrats on how this reduction
should be applied to existing taxes.
The tax bill probably will repre-.
sent compromise between the
views of the three groups.
The insurgents will fight for gov.
eminent operation Of both projects
and will get some support from
both the regular Republican and
the Democratic ranks. In both in
stances, the administration probably
will hold q. balance OF power"
On farm relief, the far west,
middle west and southwest have
lined up generally against the
East, New England and the south
Orn seaboard.
At any rate, party lines will be
dropped entirely In the farm relief
battle and the administration itself
may carry the final balance Of
power"
Present Shift Again
on flood control the lines will
.hhift again.
AT present indications, the south
and middle west will form a
strange alliance with New England
because Of their local floods.
The East may organize some ops
.position to their program, although
the legislation Is still buried in
Dcommittee.
Party lines win be dropped again
when the big Navy fight opens
over the construction of new
cruisers.
Here the administration vim get
Democratic as well as Insurgent
support, while losing many Of its
customary votes.
The same situation win apply to
legislation, affecting military avia-
ton.
Different alliances win be formed

rum men THEMSELVES
HAVE own TROUBLES
One master Mind" Says
Employees Drank Too
Much Of His Cargo

New York, Jan. P)-Interna-
tional rum rings, like more legiti-
mate big business organizations have
their occasional little problems aris-
ing out of the human failings of the
personnel.
William r. Newman testified in
court today that one gigantic syndi-
cate, operating between Canada and
this country, experienced consider
able difficulty because the super
cargoes of the rum feet untitled
themselves for work by drinking
from the cargoes.
Newman was the first witness In
the trial of IS alleged conspirators,
indicated with 5 others in connec-
ton with operations OF a syndicate
said to have struggled thousands of
cases OF liquor from St. Miquelon to
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. Newman Is one OF those IN
Dictated.
The alleged master minds" OF the
enterprise are two pairs of brothers,
Edward and Frank Costello and Ed
ward and Frank Kelly.
Assistant United States Attorney
Stevenson said in his opening that
the ring operated large offices both
here and in Canada, shipping liquor
to rum row in large ships and trans
ferred it to shore in a fleet OF small
craft and with the connivance OF
bribed coast guards.
Thirteen of the SO men indicted
were members OF the coast guard.
1t was charged that some OF the IL
quor was actually brought ashore in
a coast guard cutter.
Newman said that he lived in
F'reeport, L. T., and that In the sum
mer of 1924 he met Edward Kelly
there. who told him OF the difficulty
experienced in bringing LIQUOR car
goes through because of drinking by
the supercargoes. Newman said he
got Job from Kelly as a rum ship
supercargo at s75 week. He went
aboard boat known as the Integral
at rum row. he testified. on Nov. Fl,
1924 and found 5000 cases Of liquor
on board.
In his opening address, Stevenson
said that Is Of those indicted had
had their cases severed from the
present trial because some Of them
had not been apprehended and II
was desired to use others as govern
ment witnesses. Several Of the men
indicted figured also in prosecution

POLICE AGENT FOUND
TO Be Former SLEU7H
Brooke in Penna. Con-
stabulary and U. S.
Secret Service

That Michael Brooke, who obtain
Halloran and DiMauro liquor cases
which resulted in convictions in po-
lice court this morning, is an ex-
perienced police operative with
seven years service in the Penn
sylvania constabulary and a connec-
ton with the United States secret
service some time ago, was learned
this afternoon. 1t was also learned
that he has assisted the local police
to obtain evidence in liquor cases
for the past four months, but was
not required to appear in court be-
cause he was not used to make pur-
chases, his specially having been -
obtain the confidence of persons nav
ing information as to where liQuor
could be bought, and when he had
obtained sufficient knowledge as to
the layout of the sources of sup
ply, the police were able to follow
up his leads and make raids.
Brooke, according to information
ODldlHeu lulS AFTERNOON, Is the IaIner
of two sons who are also operatives
and they have assisted the local po-
lice in the past. He Is said to have
operated in number of other
places, devoting practically his en-
tire time to criminal investigations,
including liquor law violations. His
residence at SO Elm street is only
temporary, it is said.
Lawyers and other spectators in
court this morning were impressed
by the self assurance and unconcern
displayed by Brooke under cross
examination by Attorney Thomas f.
McDonough. In their opinion, he
made a good Witness" and he i'm
pressed Judge Alling by his de-
meanor during the trial. Policemen
who had seen him about head
quarters during the past several
weeks hardly recognized him in
court this morning He had never
been seen by them with his head un-
covered, and the removal of his
mustache added greatly to the
change in his appearance.
