Prominent Police, Political
Men in Pittsburgh
Accused.
NEA Service

ByNEA Service
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 90
With a city of more than a half
million thirsting to hear the senSa-
tional disclosures that are expected,
Federal court officials here are try
ing to figure out how they are going
to try 1877 members of Pittsburgh's
alleged liquor ring" in courtroom
that can accommodate only $50
persons.
The 167 are included in blanket
indictment, possibly the largest ever
returned in the United States,
charging conspiracy to violate the
national prohibition law.
Among the "higher-ups" who are
scheduled to be tried when the case
comes up in November are men
prominent in police and political
circles.
Worked for Months
They include:
Superintendent Peter P. Walsh of
the Pittsburgh police department
Police Inspectors Charles Faux
ner, John j. McArdle and Joseph j.
Elsner.
Police Magistrates ]. J. Sweeney
and John w. Orie.
Luke Sullivan and Samuel J.
Grenet, members of the PeEnsyl"
vania legislature.
In addition to these notables, po-
lice lieutenarts, ward chairmen, re-
tired police officers, policemen, a
constable, former prohibition
agent and many alleged "fixers' are
named in the indictment.
The charge agains Superintend-
ent Walsh in the indictment is fair
ly indicative of the others. It alleges
that during 1926 and 1927 Superin-
tendent Walsh did know and did
permit certain liquor dealings in
concessions for the unlawful traffic
of Intoxicating liquor by various
persons within the said city of
Pittsburgh"
The approaching conspiracy trial
results from a quiet but extensive
investigation made here by John D.
Pennington, prohibition admins
traitor. He had dozens of investi-
gators busy for months, gathering
the evidence.
1,158 Testify
John D. Meyer, United States
district attorney, and Ralph Smith
and Joseph Richardson, assistants,
marshaled 1,158 witnesses before
the grand jurors to tell their story.
1t is likely that many of them will
be called as witnesses at the trial.
All but a few of the 1877 defend
ants have been arrested. Approx
mately 100000 in property is i'm
pounded as a result of the big in
dictment.

SMITH TO FACE
FAIR THRONCS
AT SYRACUSE
Precautions Being Taken to
Protect Nominee From
Crowds.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-Governor
Alfred E. Smith leaves here today
for Syracuse to stage his second
appearance within week before an
audience which would turn prize
fight promoters green with envy.
Thousands of persons are ex-
pected to descend upon the State
fair at Syracuse Thursday for
Governors day" in a demonstra-
ton that probably will approach
that of the candidates New Jersey
visit.
The Governor, members of his
family and an official party were
scheduled to leave the Grand Gen.
trail Station at $40 a. m, arriving
at Syracuse during. the afternoon.
It is a bit early for the Governor,
who usually does not get up before
10 or II, having breakfast shortly
before noon. He eats only two
meals a day usually, and remains
up late, doing a good deal of his
work in preparing his speeches after
midnight.
Attend Farm Dinner
Smith tonight will attend the an
r1ual farm dinner, given by Jerome
D. Barnum. publisher of the SYRIA
cuse POST Standard, at which agri-
cultural editors, State officials and
leaders discuss farm problems.
Thursday he will show himself to
the crowds, and will make a speech
if the weather is favorable. He will
not endanger his throat by an out
door speech if it rainy or damp, be-
cause of the coming campaign grind.
During his Syracuse visit, the
Governor is expected to confer re-
garding the State political situation,
relative to selection of candidates
for United States Senator and
Governor.
It appears now that Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner, the Governors old
friend and one-time roommate
when they were in the Legislature
together is slated to run for Gov
ernor. and that Franklin D. Roose-
welt will be picked to stand for the
Senate to succeed Wagner.
Candidates will be chosen form
ally at the State convention in
Rochester in october.
Protect Al From Crowds
Precautions will be taken to pro-
tect the Governor from the crowds
expected at Syracuse, so there will
be no repetition of the wild rush
for him at Sea Girt, when people
clambered all over the automobile
in which he was riding.
1t may be necessary to follow the
course taken on his return through
New Jersey, when several in the
party stood on the running board
and sat perched on the back of the
car to keep the eager crowds away.
During his stay here, Governor
Smith studied three different cam
paign itineraries prepared for him
by his advisers, and will select one
in the next few days. 1t will be an
f1ounced some time next week. He

Selfish Drivers

A group of Callfornians has orga-
nized a National Golden Rule
Highway Plan" seeking to enroll
motorists who will agree always ta
conduct themselves, while driving,
according to the Golden Rule.
It's a good idea, end if all motor
lists would live up to the famous
precept life would be lot sweeter.
But here's the one trouble.
The vast majority of drivers is
composed of decent, kindly men
who are always confederate end
courteous TO pedestrians or othe
drivers. There are only few rela-
tive'y, who pillow through If. ffic
without considering the other fel-
low. But these few are just the
chaps you never can get in anv
Golden Rule association. They're
the chaps that make stringent tras-
fic laws, and sharpeyed motorcy-
Gle patrolmen necessary.

Oil Company Will Have
Drill Here BY May 1st

We understand the Plentywood-
Redstone Holding Company, through
their Fiscal Agent Mr.. 0. B. Nelson,
has closed d contract for the drilling
of test we'll for gas and oil, and
the machinery will be at the well
site before May 1st. Just where
this we'll is to be drilled has not been
disclosed, but they are very busy
Obtaining leases on scattered acre
age at this time in the triangle be-
tween Redstone, Outlook and Dale
view.
The officials have not disclosed
the company with whom they have
contracted, but they are turning
over to this concern a block of ten
thousand acres in leases.
The machinery will consist of a
heavy duty standard drilling outfit
with a 80 foot derrick, and will be
unloaded either at Archer or Red
stone.
The company also states they have
several other parties in line for
drilling contracts. and there are
several field scouts for large oil
companies in this territory at this
time.
The Whitehall people are also get
ting lined up for early action in
drilling out test well in that terri
tory, and it is now a question as to
which concern will start drilling
first, as il is commencing TO look
like race between them.
That Whitehall is very enlhusias-
tic over the oil possibilities there is
indicated by the many changes in
real estate there, and also from the
fact they have induced F j Sherry,
editor of the Redstone Review to
move his plant 10 Whitehall, which
is TO be done in the very near fu-
ture.
1t will not hurt our feelings at all
to see real activity in drilling these
test wells here, as it means incTeas-
ed business for everyone, whether
they have interests in 4 oil terri
tory OF not.

Poplar Strikes Oil Re-
port Much Enthusiasm

There have been many different re-
ports that oil has been struck in tie
Pioneer Oil and Gas Company's well
at Poplar. The Herald has spen
much time in trying to get reliable
information concerning this and
from the best we can get they had
pulled the tools On Tuesday after
noon to set new diamonds in the
drill and while the tools were Out
of the hole the sell started to flow
gas, oil and water and was still
showing some oil while many men
from Poplar we're out to the well on
Wednesday. A telephone rep pnt
from Poplar Thursday night stated
that the we'll was still flowing fresh
water and gas and no oil.
They are using a diamond core
drill and have run a string of small
pipes, about 2 1-2 inches we are IL
formed. With diamond drill il is
necessary to have the hole full of
water and it has been suggested
that the heavy water pressure al
the bottom of the hole may have
forced the oil, which made show
ing at the start, back into the for
nation.
The Plentywood- Redstone Hold
ing Company states that they ex
pect to have drill on the ground
to start the first test hole in the
very near future. A company is
being formed at Outlook to drill one
we'll on the holdings of this COM
pany.
