 This method of securing the views of the American people on prohibition" the Wisconsin repre- sentative asserted, would be cheap CT than a national referendum on the question.

CONTRADIC1S STATE STORY
Girl Tells Attorney She Was With Parents On Day Prosecution AL lcges Money Was Delivered For Ecrrari

New York, Oct. 90 LP) - The 26 year old daughter of Frank H. War der resigned banking superintendent on trial accused of receiving bribes to forcgo examinations of the de- funct City Trust company, denied on the witness stand today that any person had delivered money to her father on the day on which the state contends he received s10,OO0 from a messenger for Francesca NJ. Fer rari, late president of the bank.
 CcntradiCts Testimony
 Miss Virginia M. WardCr's testi- mony was heard in contradiction of the story of Gcnnaro Deli Osso, brother law of Ferrari, that he had taken $10.000 to Warder at the Warder Riverside drive home on September 21, 1928. This particular transaction is the basis of the indict- ment on which Wardcr is being tried.
 Miss Warder produced diary which was later put in evidence by James I. Cuff, chief of defense coun- scl, to show what took place at her home on the date in question.
 She testified she had been out wis ting with a girl friend that day and arrived home about D. m. She remained in the apartment with her mother until her father arrived shortly after 5 o'clock when the three left for the New York Athletic club for dinner. She said she was in the apartment with her mother before her fathers arrival and that no one had called at the apartment.
 Always Answers Bell
 Under Cuffs questioning she said 1t was customary for her to answer the bell, and that she could have heard it had it been rung.
 Did Mr. Dcll'Osso call at the apartment at any time on September q, 1928, while you were there?" asked Cuff
 No" she replied.
 This move by the defense was not expected by Hiram (. Todd, special assistant district attorney, and Cuff had not given an intimation of his In tcntiOns.
 Miss Wardcr produced.h person. al diary to give the movements of her mother, who died last May 12, and her father and herself on Sep tcmber q, 1928. This was the date on which the state contends Wardcr received the $1O,0O0 bribe.

Paris, Oct. 30 lP-Euonne cIcm- entol, chairman of the finance committee of the senate. and former minister of finance in the Hcrriot cabinet, today accepted lin rrin- ciple" the task of forming Q cabinet to succeed the recently defeated Briand ministry.
 Clcmontel is q member Of the radical group in the senate.

 Clemcntcl has the confidence of the financial interests. This is chief ly because of his action when min- istcr of finance in taking issue with Premier Herri0t against. a capital levy in 1925, rosigning after making his position clear before the senate.

TABS FAVORABLE
 ID BUILDING SALE
Pass Vote to Appoint Committee
 to Negotiate Deal
PROPOSAL IS CONTESTED
Proponents of Move to Dispose Of Fratcrnai Home Win Point By Narrow Margin - Mortgage Bond Sale Continues With Satisfactory Response.

After a spirited discussion which lasted nearly three hours, the Y. NJ T. A. &, B. society at a summons meeting last night, voted by a mar. row margin to have a committee appointed to negotiate the sale of the society's fraternal home on Main street.
 The move for the sale was made by Thomas J. Devine who said the building could have been marketed on Q previous occasion. He felt, he said, that the public should know whether the society wished to sell the building. A prospective pur- chaser would have great difficulty finding out whether or not he could buy the home if it was not made known it is for sale, MT. Devine said. He was opposed by John O'Brien, one of the veteran members of the organization. The vote on this mo- tion was 32 in favor of appoint ment of a committee, and 30 op- posed to it.
 Approximately 75 members at tended the meeting and a large num- Der took part in the discussion. Among the matters talked of was the sale of bonds, and the report of the circus committee. In the latter matter the chairman of the commit tee was not present and no final re- port was given. President Humason gave a partial report.
 Bond Subscription Encouraging
 The manner in which the mem- bcrs have subscribed to the bond sale was considered encouraging and Gn air of optimism prevailed. Of 296 members who were approached and asked to purchase bonds, 243 agreed to do so. There are still 300 who have not been consulted. Presi- dent Humason, at the opening of the meeting, said the greater portion of the members is not working for the society in it's efforts to get out of it's financial difficulties. He urged the members to patroniZe the new soda shop which the society is conducting in the building.
 A new bond committee will be ap- pointed and will be instructed to call on members who have not been ap- preached.
 In the future, meetings will be held the third Tuesday of every month and a social will follow each meeting.

BRENTWOOD, Md. May 1o.-Princt
Georges Countys first health center
which will serve the communities OF
Brentwood, Mount Rainier, Cottage City
and Colmar Manor will open in the
Brentwood School next Thursday after
noon. when dental clinic, initial unit
OF the center. will be inaugurated.
The center will be conducted in a
room on the second floor of the Brent
wood School which the Board of Edu-
cation has set aside for the work
Plans for the center, as announced by
DR.. william s. Keister, county health
officer, consist of eventual widening of
the scope of its activities to include
every phase of public health work A
baby clinic, in which children Of pre-
school age are examined. will be one Of
the first projects held there, he declares.
Citizens Procure Clinic.
The dental clinic has been secured
through the combined efforts of the
Brentwood Mount Rainier Parent
Teacher Association and the Women's
Civic League of Mount Rainier. BY
means of card parties and other enter
ta1nments these two organizations have
raised sufficient funds to purchase the
necessary equipment for a modern
dental clinic, including dental chair.
With the assistance of the county
health office, the sponsoring organiza-
lions nave secured two dentists who will
conduct the clinic, which will be held
on Thursday and Friday afternoons.
DR.. Robert E. Green will have charge
one afternoon and DR.. Arnold Levin
sohn the other.
Miss Ruth Tighe, public health nurse
Ior the upper portion of Prince Georges
County, will assist at the initial clinics
ana train members of committees from
the Parent-Teacher Association and
Womens Civic League to help the dem
lists, as they will take over this work
as soon as the clinics get under way
According to DR.. Keister, this assisting
WORK Will consist principally of keep
ing records of the cllildren's dental de-
Iects ana getting them back and forth
between the clinic and their classes.
Declared Need.
The county health officer sees in the
Brentwood health center the filling of
long-felt public health need, and
hopes that its Inauguration will lead
to the establishment of others in yari-
GUS parts Of Prince Georges.
AT present Riverdale has a dental
clinic, the first ever established in the
county, which is operating very sue
CcoSlully, LIT. helSter states. In Hyatts-
VIE, he says, it has been decided, at
least temporarily, to send the school
children to dentists rather than set up
a clinic. The town of Laurel is dis
cuSSlng plans for clinic, he reports.
several other towns, according to DR..
helster, need these clinics, and the citi-
zenS favor them. but are handicanned
by not having any suitable place to
hold them. He feels that the room
obtained at the Brentwood School
which was formerly used as a class
room, Is highly suitable and that citi-
zens were fortunate in obtaining the
Board OF Education'S permission to use
II permanently for public health work.
