COEUR DALENE, Idaho December
1.-THE Federal Government. in court
here today, was we'll under way in its
attempt to prove that % North Idaho
officials and others had participated in
a widespread conspiracy to violate the
national prohibition laws.
Attacking first the case at Mullan, in
which the mayor and many trustees
were indicted, Hoyt E. Ray. United
States attorney, said he would support
with evidence charges that the city Of
ficialS of Mullan encouraged liquor law
violations, collected license money for

SUIT IS SETTLED
inventor and Broker Reach
Agreement in Case Out
side of Court.

The suit filed last July in the SUI
preme Court of the District of Columbia
by Arthur D. Lord, broker of 100
Broadway. New York City. against
Charles Francis Jenkins of this city.
widely known inventor of televisiOn, for
commissions totaling $6l2,5OO. has been
settled out of court. according to an
order of dismissal filed in the case by
Attorneys Cromelin & Laws today.
According to the claim of Lord, as set
forth by the declaration filed by him
last July. he is engaged in the business
of a broker, and Jenkins came to him
and employed him to- find a suitable
purchaser for his television patents,
apparatus and equipment. Jenkins at
that time was said to be the owner OF
the capital, stock of jenkins Labora-
tories, Inc, which company held the
patent rights in televiSion at that time.
The sale was to be made either through
a transfer of stock of the Jenkins Lab
oratorieS, Inc. or by outright sale OF the
property of the corporation. Lord set
forth to the court that he worked for
several months and offered the prop
erty and stock to a number of prominent
financial people, and during the course
of his efforts to sell the property intro
duced the prospective purchasers TO
Jenkins. Jenkins, according to his an
Swer filed in the case, denies any llabll-
ity to Lord growing out of the transac-
ton.
On December IL Mr.. Justice Bailey,
at the request of the attorneys for Lord,
ordered a commission to issue to Will
liam E. Hanna of Is Broad street, New
York City, to take the dispositions OF y
prominent financial persons whose tes-
timony was desired by Lord for the pur-
pose of establishing his claim. Last
Friday Judge John c. Knox OF the Dis
trict Court OF the United States for the
Southern District of New York granted
a petition filed by the attorneys for
Lord in New York requiring the appear
ance of the various brokers and imam
ciers whose testimony was desired at
hearings before Mr.. Hanna, which were
to have commenced today.
When the attorneys in the case were
interviewed regarding the matter, it de-
veloped that a number of conferences
were held, as the result of which an
agreement of settlement was reached
between the attorneys for Lord and
Jenkins yesterday afternoon. The at
torneys have refused to disclose the
amount which was paid in settlement of
the case.
More than 10000 900 women in Eng
land spent SIS each on permanent
waves in the last six months.

DELAYS
ACTION ON GRUNDY
Nye Resolution Goes Over
Until After Holidays, Due
to Lack of Quorum.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Consideration of the Nye resolution
to unseat Senator Grundy of Pennsyl-
vania was deferred today by the Sem
ate elections committee until after the
Christmas recess when quorum was
unobtainable.
Chairman Shortridge of the elections
committee also announced that consid-
Grafton of the credentials of Senator
Patrick Sullivan, Republican of Wyo-
ming, would be deferred until after the
holidays.
The committee chairman announced
that it was his opinion that both
Grundy and Sullivan were legally APP
pointed by the governors of their re-
Spective States to fill vacancies.
however, Senator Nye, Republican,
North Dakota, gave notice that he
would insist that the Senate vote on
the qualifications of Grundy. Nye con-
tends that Grundy's participation as
a money collector and contributor in
the S2,000,000 Pennsylvania primary of
1926, when Gov. Fisher, who appointed
him. was nominated, diSqualifieS him.
The question over Sullivan's appoint
ment arises because of the Wyoming
law. which states that the governor
may fill a vacancy ir Congress only if
it occurs during a session. Senator
Warren of Wyoming died during the
weeks recess between sessions. but Sui
Ivan was appointed after Congress was
in session and for that reason Short
ridge believes the action legal.

election, unless they have some one else

MAKES NO CHANGES
IN LEFT-TURN RULE
Drafting Group of Committee
on Uniform Codes Hears
Plea of Eldridge.

The drafting committee of the gen.
eral committee on uniform trafic codes
in the United States this morning failed
to make any change in the existing
'eft-turn rule.
The left-turn question, from Wash
ngton's viewpoint. was injected into
he drafting committee deliberations
his morning by Assistant Director of
Traffic M. o. Eldridge. Mr.. Eldridee
pleaded with the drafting committee to
aid him and his superior. Traffic Dr.
rector W. H. Harland, in their efforts
10 keep in force in Washington the
rotary left turn.
Pedestrians and motorists Mr.. Ed
ridge said, "are thoroughly sold on this
rotary left-turn idea in Washington. 1
hope the committee will help us TO re-
tain the regulation. 1t is far safer than
any other method of turning. and. due
to the broad streets we have here in
Washington it is a solution of our left
turn problem"
Plea to Be Considered.
Mr.. Eldridge was assured that the
committee would take into ConSidera-
ton his plea. The rotary left-turn, 1t
was explained by Mr.. Eldridge. is IN
effect only at lights and police patrolled
intersections, traffic everywhere else
turning according to the provisions OF
the Hoover Code.
The need for far deeper study of
the speed question in traffic and on
the open roads was stressed by DR..
Miller McClintOcE of the Albert Rus
sell ErSkine Bureau of Traffic Research,
Cambridge, Mass. He pointed out that
speed is an anomalous factor in auto
mobile safety, declaring that, while
speed is responsible for all automobile
accidents Tor the reason that if there
were no speed there would be no con-
tact, at the same time speed could not
be attributable for any automobile ac-
cident for the reasons that a perfect
driver in a perfect automobile could
drive at any speed he desired without
casualty.
Conditions Force Flexibility.
Interpreted by DR.. McClintock, who
presided over the drafting subcommittee
meeting, the consensus of the drafting
committee was that no departure from
the existing left-hand-turn rule as laid
down in the uniform code should be en-
couraged. He explained that the null
tiplicity Of local conditions met by vari-
Gus sections of the uniform code forced
a certain amount of fieXibility in the
code, but added, these local conditions
should not have the effect of influence
ing any drastic revision of the code as
it stands and as 1t is developing.
The promotional subcommittee, the
other division of the general uniform
code committee, which also met this
morning, tentatively agreed to recomR
mend that practical politics be used to
the fullest extent throughout the States
of the Union to encourage their adop-
ton of the uniform traffic code. and to
that end Arthur A. Thomas, chairman
of the promotiOnaI subcommittee, sp-
pointed a committee Of three to draw
up and present the result of this morn
ings elaboration to the meeting of
the general committee, which is being
held this afternoon.

AS nobody is in business for the

But in some widely known articles
this stability does not obtain. The
manufacturers would like to make
the system apply generally through

Such law is not likely to be
placed on the statute books consid-
