tangle because lMcGovern refused flatly finally to answer one series of questions.
 Were the elections crooked in Allegheny county in 1927?" Kelly demanded.
 "Very," McGovern responded.
 "Even the election of the judges?"
 "Yes some of the judges now sit- ting in Allegheny county shouldn't be on the bench" the witness re- sponded.
 Were the judges guilty of crook edness in this election?" Kelly pur- sued.
 'The beneficiaries of crookedness." the witness returned.
 "Will you name the judges whom you have pronounced the beneficiar- les of crookednesa in the 1927 elec- tion?"
 You needn't answer that ques- tion," Mahany interjected from the group of Wilson lawyers.
 'Oh yes, you have to-" Kelly ex- claimed. and the argument was on between all of the lawyers when Chairman Waterman cut in.
 ''You have opened the door 70 wide In this proceeding" the chair man ruled, that unlimited cross examination is allowed as to this witness"
 Nc0overn. as the question was re- peated, said he would have to "re- fresh my memory with documentary evidence before I answer."
 Name mo one judge now inl- properly sitting in Allegheny county as result of that crooked election Kelly declared.
 :. Wont Answer
 "ITl not answer that question at this time but I'll be willing to do % later.'' MeGovern returned. Tt is my belief that there are some improperly sitting and that belief is based on personal investigation"
 Kelly went down the list of nine 5udges atting at Pittsburgh and de- manded aa to each man whether McGovern considered him improper ly seated by election frauds and Me- Govern refused to answer.
 T can't compel the witness to an- swer," Chairman Waterman said when the attorney appealed to him.
 But you can," Kelly insisted. ''It's contempt of the senate to re- fuse.''
 That may be true. but it will take further proceedings of some kind" the chairman told him.

GERMANS HAVE ANTIDOTE FOR
 AIR SICKNESS

BERLIN. May 3.-Air sick ness, cousin to sea sickness, need no longer haunt the dreams of the airplane passenger starting from Europe's largest airdrome, Tempelhof Field. Berlin.
 The Templehof officials have installed an apparatus for inhal- ing antiair-sickness fumes, and are convinced that it is a sue cess. They feel confident that other airdromes of the Lufthansa German Federal Airways Cor poration) will emulate the exam pie of the Berlin flying field.
 Any passengers who fears that he may become airsick, may in- hale the antidote, which consists in the main of oxygen gas and cinnamon. The mixture has a quieting effect upon the nerves of the diaphragm.
 Air passengers who arrived at Tempelhof quite ill from air sick ness were brought back to nor nal condition within less than five minutes through the inhala- tion of the antidote. It is plan ned in due time to have an in- halation apparataus installed on every passenger plane with tubes running to every seat.

JAPAN GOOD
 MARKET FOR
 NOISY MUSIC

BERLIN, May 3. = Japan knows much more about contem poraneous German composers, es- pecially those with a p2nchant for eacophony, than do the Ger mans themselves.
 This unusual statement is made by Director II. Gebhard of the German Grammophone Company.
 Our best market for ultra modern offerings is Japan" he says. Tn Germany, Paul Hinde- mith, Arnold Sehoenberg, Ernst krenek. Alban Berg, or Kurt Weill records have but moderate sales; in Japan we sell them by the thousand.
 "I explain it this way: the Japanese is keen on everything modern, he wants to be absolute ly up-to-date. Now he reads about the new school of musical composition, and immediately orders records illustrating it. As his ear is differently attuned from ours, he has none of the in hibitions to overcome which him. der the European from accepting new combinations of sounds and new conceptions of harmony easily.
 "The average Japanese cCnse- quently knows the German mod ernists much better than do the Germans themselves.

 With a record for attendance at mine disasters, it seems not at all unusual to Harrington that a man should really like to go 1000 feet down in q dark, smoke-fllled hole to help recover bodies of men overcome by gas.
 Harrington first experience with a mine fire, the particular type of disaster in which he has become an expert. came in 1916 at the Pennsylvania mine at Butte, Mont, when 21 men were killed. Later he helped in rescue work at a dozen or more big mine explo- sons and fires. In the spring of 1917 he was at the Granite Noun tain shaft in the northern part of Montana when fire broke out in the mine. He worked until the last of the bodies of the 163 trap ped men were found.

HARBOR ON LONG ISLAND
MAY BECOME BIG PORT

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-The advent OF 1000
foot ocean liners may mean more than
a spectacle in North River. It may In
augurate the passing of that waterway
as the harbor OF the great Atlantic
liners
The larger vessels already are having
difficulty in finding satisfactory docking
facilities Shipping men say the or1i-
nary pier Is not long enough TO give
them safe berth. especially during tide
movements. The War Department IS
opposed TO an extension Of piers into
the river. Furthermore the waterfront
traffic is becoming congested.
AS result at least two lines have
been considering the possibilities Of
Montauk Point at the eastern end of
Long Island. as harbor 1t is believed
that 1t not only would provide better
accommodations for the liners. but
would save many hours Of travel time.
