STATE HOUSE Liquor
PARTIES ARE PRobED
Clergymen and Detectives
Testify in Boston
Investigation

Boston, June 6 R-Three Boston
clergymen and the state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League
were called as witnesses today at
the opening session of the legisla-
tive investigation of charges that
wild parties" at which liquor was
served were held at the state house
on the night the 1927 session was
prorogued. Fact testified that he
had no personal knowledge of such
parties.
William NJ. Forgrave, the league
superintendent, was the first of the
witnesses. When he took the stand
he asked permission to read a state
ment in which he said he would
place in the right light statements
made by him to the newspapers on
which. he said, the press had placed
''gross misconstruction."
Senator Hugh A. Gregg, chair
man, refused to admit it, saying it
was beyond the scope of the investi-
CATION.
The three clergymen were Rev. A..
u. Conrad of Part street church,
Rev. Lynn ]. Radcliffe of the Tre-
mont street Methodist church and
Rev. Frank M. Swaffield of the
West Somerville Baptist church, all
signers of letter sent to Governor
Fuller asking a full investigation Of
the reports.
Each was asked if he had per-
sonal knowledge of the parties and
each answered No" No further ev-
idence was given by any of them.
At the opening of the hearing
Chairman Gregg said the commit
tee would divide its inquiry into two
parts, first the report that drunk
en- party was held on prorogatio
night and second charges that
liquor had been removed from the
custody of the department of public
safety.
After Forgrave's statement had
been refused admission he was
asked whether he had any knowl-
edge of wrong doing at the state
house and he said he had not. but
learned of it through his agents,
Philip Chardon and James E. Holt.
He said he sent agents to the state
house as the result of an anonymous
telephone call.
After the three clergymen had
testified, Holt was called. He said he
was a detective and that on the
night the legislature was prorogued,
April 2S. 1927, he was sent to the
state house to look for rooms 245
and 435. He said he went there at 6
p. m. and found both rooms quite. At
1880 he returned with Chardon and
then saw the first evidence of a
party.
He said he and Chardon saw five
men in the corridor and the five met
another who addressed one of the
group as Senator" The senator
asked the sixth where he was going
and he said to room 446 where
there's party on" Holt said he
followed and when the door opened

EIGHT SEARCHERS MISSING

Kings Bay. Spitzbergen, June 6 CP
Two expeditions searching north
ern Spitzbergen for the missing diri-
gible Italia have found no trace of
1t.
The ice breaker Braganza, which
today was off North Cape, northeast
land. found no clue to the fate of
Gen. Umberto Mobile and his crew
along the northern coast of west
Spitzbergen. This region had long
been held likely place to hunt for
the Italia.
The ship reported that it had
found messages indicating that an
other expedition seeking the Italia
had been unsuccessful. This expe-
dition of four Alpinists guided by a
hunter named kremer took an east
erly course overland from Kings
Bay.
Other wide territory will be ex-
plored by Captain Sora and four AL
pine troops which were landed by
the Braganza on New Friesland.
This peninsular separates Wide
Fjord from Hinlopen Strait.
The sealer Hobby with Lieutenant
LuetzowHolm and his seaplane
aboard today was off Biscaya Hook,
the west point of the entrance to
Broad bay, shallow indentation on
the north coast of West Spitzbergen.
1t was understood that the vessel
would try to get farther east. Since
she carries no wireless reports of her
researches were scant.
Reports from Russia that wireless
message had been picked up from
the Italia stating that she had
landed on Franz Josef land met
with much skepticism at Kings bay
since 1t was generally accepted here
that the airship was not blown that
| far east.

So great was the crush of spec

The Prince of Wales. with two big

the assistance Of the duke to squeeze
through the great jam of people.

large part Of its population working with hand tools
or with q very small amount Of animal Or mechanical
power per worker"
A rather unusual view, this. Yet one cannot doubt
that there is much to justify it. The cotton industry
hasn't progressed very far. Cotton is picked today as
II was picked a century ago. Mechanical contrivances
have replaced more costly and more laborious meth
DDS on the farms Of the West, the North ard the
Northwest. The unit cost CT products, therefore. has
declined.
A mechanical cotton picker-or some methods Of
getting the cotton from the field to the bale at a
smaller cost-will revolutionize the cotton industry,
lust as the grain reaper OF which Mr.. Yerkes speaks
has revoIutionized farming in the North. Perhaps thu
solution will be along other lines than the develop
ment Of 4 cotton picker; perhaps the solution lies in
the modification of ginning machinery, or an entirely
new method Of ginning.
AT least. something will come out Of the present
situation. American inventive genius has overcome
greater obstacles than the difficulties in the way Of
mechanical harvesting Of cotton. In the meantime the
South must devote more OF its thought to industrial
development, and the divorce Of agriculture from the
despotism Of cotton.
