IOWA SENATOR
TELLS JURY OF
DRINKING PARTY
More Details of Wall Street
Affair to Be Barred
by BrOOkhart.
BY PAUL r. MALL0N,
limited Press stan CorreSfJondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-More
details Of the now famous wall
Street booze party" with perhaps
names of some senators alleged to
have imbibed, were to be submit
ted to a federal grand jury here
today by Senator Smith Wildman
Brookhart (Rep., la.
Brookhart was asked by United
States District Attorney Leo Rover
to tell the grand jury about the
party he attended at the Willard
hotel in 1926, when Walter j.
Fahy, New York broker, gave a
dinner for a group Of newly elected
senators and several Wall Street
men, including Otto H. Kahn Of
Kahn, Loeb & Co.
If the grand jury believes Brook
haft's account warrants further in
vestigation, some of those present
at the party may be called, District
Attorney Rover said.
No Actual Evidence
Brookhart described the party in
a senate speech Wednesday, but he
did not mention any drinking by
senators. He said E. E. LOOMS,
president of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, whom he described as a J.
p. Morgan man, poured some al
coholic stuff" from a silver flask,
one Of rack of TASKS alleged to
have been filed with Scotch liquor
for. senators and other guests.
There is as yet no actual legal
eyidenc that liquor was served or
whether it came legitimately from
some private stock or whether it
was purchased in violation of the
law. The IOWan said he was in
formed the TASKS contained Scotch
and was told to help himself, but
admits he did not taste any. None
has been preserved. His statement
would not be sufficient evidence to
convict in a court of law, lawyers
say.
Case May Be Dropped
If Brookhart tells the grand jury
no more than he told the senate,
the case may be dropped, unless
\ supporting evidence is found from
0sSoer sources.
Brookhart has suggested the
party also is a fit matter for in
vestigation by the senate lobby in
VeStigating committee. He con-
tended that LOOMS and Kahn talked
to him about his opposition to rail-
road valuation programs and his
frequent charge that the railroads
are carrying watered stock.
He clearly inferred that one re-
suit of the dinner was an attempt to
influence him and the late Senator
Gooding Rep., Idaho), who was
working on railroad legislation with
him.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Chicago chronic contender had
been able to win on the road, prior
to the first Eastern trip of 1929
1t is my guess that. when the time
comes. the Cubs will proceed to
show that they are the class Of the
National League.
The Cards are the entry they
have to lick, with the Pirates and
Giants almost equally dangerous.
The latter will have to come from
seven and half games back OF
the pace. but everyone knows that
they don't belong where they are,
even without a second baseman.
They probably will do what every
Giant club has done in recent years,
come with a rush but come too late.

1parts must be made by the sailor
himself, as 1t is impossible to pur-
chase them in this city, and some
of the canoe jewelry" so manufac-
tured would be credit to any
matchmaker.
Spars and masts must be Of
the best spruce, for they must
be feather-Iight and girder-stiff,
and these, too, are turned out
by the men themselves.
Sails are made from material
ranging all The way from heavy I'M
bleached muslin to light weight duck
and drilling. The cloth is shrunk
and bleached before 1t is made into
sails and afterward water-proofed to
prevent mildew from frequent wet
tings. The sailmaker once was an
important figure in the commercial
life of the nation and his Graf. en-.
tailed a lifetime of study. Club
men have searched the old records
for the most approved methods and
have adopted some of them. used
others and invented pew ones In
an effort to find the simplest and
most suitable way of handling this
work, the result being the produc-
ton OF some very fine sails, en-
bodving extreme designing. OF
course, both spars and sails can be
purchased, but only in standard
sizes and shapes, and the COM
merciaI outfits, being built for
strength and rough handling, are
usually too heavily spared for rae
ing purposes.
AS a natural result of the individ-
ual thought and manual labor ex-
pended upon these sailing outfits,
each rig differs in radical measure
from it's neighbor and partakes of
the. personality of its maker.
Racing, then, is almost As
much test of craftsmanship az
Il Is q test Of seamanship, and
whether q canoe proves wjn-
ner or not the owner may be
Justly proud for it is the work
of his own hands.
Even a casual glance at the fleet
will convince the observer that in
Ventfon and experimentation tire at
work. One canoe carries single
huge sail. the next two or possibly
three small sails, and still another
large sails ingenuously arranged
to reef with the rising wind. one
will be decked with paper-thin plank
ing, others with removable canvas,
while many are entirely Undecked
from end to end. Some are fitted
with metal centerboards to overcome
the tendency Of a sailing craft to
slip sidewise through the water
instead of progressing in an orderly'
fashion. while others carry long
slim board, known as a leeooard,
over the side for the same purpose.
Commercial leehoards usually
come in sets of two and his type

canoes appear to have neither cen

AWAIT MATCH

The American and Japenese Davis
Cup tennis teams are looking for
ward to better weather for Thurs
day for the start of their matches
on the Chevy Chase courts in the
semi-finals of the American zone.
Wet courts today prevented the ex'
hibition by John VanRyn, John Hen
Messy, Wilmer Allison and Fitz
Eugene Dixon arranged for the
White House. The Japanese team
also was scheduled to appear in to-
days exhibition.
Interest in the Forthcoming match
between the Japs and the United
States team has become so great
that the seating capacity has been
increased to 5000 capacity. The re-
cent victory of the Americans over
Canada in the first challenge round
has made them on overwhelming
choice to defeat the Oriental net
men. but this fact has not detracted
a whit from the interest.
Joseph Wear, chairman of the
Davis Cup committee, Is ex-
pected here today to confer with
the local committee for the
match. He win find all arrange.

The American team took one
glance at the Capital yesterday and
