Senator'S. at which liquor flowed
freely.
Thus far, Brookhart has kept
the details of this party secret,
and was believed to be holding
them for the Grand Jury. It
now seems that he is determined
to scoop" the Grand Jury on
the story by giving the racy de-
tails to his colleagues on the day
before he goes to the courthouse.
The Iowa Senator promised he
would make his speech tomorrow
as early as he could possibly OBJ
tain the floor.
He interrupted the very solemn
debate on the resolution censur.
ing Senator Bingham in order
to serve his notice today.
Will Name Names
Brookhart'S brief announcement
created quite a hub-bub in the
Senate. Several colleagues gath
cred around his desk and chatted
with him briefly.
In the past, in debates on the
prohibition question on the floor
of the Senate, there have been
several threats to name names"
in discussing wet drinking, dry
voting members of Congress.
These threats have never been
carried out, however, although
they frequently have given sew
eral Senators a few bad hours.
Apparently Senator Brookhart
intends in his speech tomorrow
to name the score or more mem
berS of the upper house who at
tended the Wall Street booze
party" held at a local hotel about
three years ago. If he does it
will be one of the biggest sensa-
lions which has ever broken in
regard to the dry law.

easies in the National Capital.
They were called before the
Grand Jury and asked to give
the names and addresses of the
men from whom they had
bought liquor.
Refusing to answer these queS-
tions, they were sentenced to As
days in Jail for contempt of
court. At the office of Judge
Gordon, who sentenced them, it
was said that if they refused to
answer the questions at the end
of their sentence they could be
returned to prison.
No Immunity
The judge told the reporters
that no law gave them immunity
from answering the questions. 1t
is to be assumed that he was
exercising his legal prerogative
in imposing the sentence. And
it need not be claimed that
newspaper ethics would have
been violated if the reporters had
answered the questions.
Yet it may be said, in all
fairness, that a question of pub
lie policy is involved in this case
on which it is permissible to
question the wisdom of the
judges position.
It is true that a bootlegger,
under the Jones Act, may pe
sentenced to five years impriSon-
ment and a $4,000 fine. Yet
the sale of liquor, even in Wash.
ington, is not viewed by the
public as a heinouS offense.
Jail All
If reporters can be locked up
for refusing to tell where they
bought liquor, 1t is reasonable to
assume, too, that any man known
to have purchased liquor could be
imprisoned for refusing to tell
where he bought it. That no
doubt is sound law.
But If this action by Judge
Gordon were to be generally
adopted, we should have a
change of policy in the enforce
ment of prohibition which would
be a matter of very genuine
concern to the public.

side of the story of the arrest

fight, Hite struck Lomax over the
head with a blackjack several
times, necessitating treatment at
Emergency Hospital. DR.. JOHN
M. Baber took seven stitches i'll
Lomax's head.
Two citizens are said to have
complained to Inspector Headiey,
acting night chief of police, of
the manner in which Hite han
died Lomax. They gave their
names as L. Gray, of the 200
block E st. N. W., and Henry
E. Riseberg, 210O block F St.
N. w.

of a collision between Lomax'S
car and one driven by John

INGRAM PLANS
FOR TIGERS

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 22.-Bill
Ingram and assistant coaches are
concentrating their attention this
week on preparation for Navy's
game with Princeton, at Princeton
Saturday, not forgetting, however,
that Penn and Georgetown will be
the oppQents on following Satur-
days. Navy apparently struck its
gait in the game with Duke, while
Princeton was losing to Cornell.
Neither this defeat or that by Brown
will lead the Midshipmen to under.
rate the Tigers.
Navy expects to meet a Princeton
team which will make a desperate
fight to redeem itself in the big
home contest, for Princeton will be
attended by the regiment of mid
shipmen and many other naval
people.
An additional reason for
PrincetOn'S earnest desire to win
is found i'm the defeat of its
team in its closing game by the
Midshipmen last year. a defeat
which marred q perfect record
for the season up to that time
and which was entirely unex-
pected.
Ingram will have to decide among
kohlhas, Castree and Williams as
his starting quarterback in the
Princeton game, all being excellent
quarterbacks and runners. These,
with Spring. 10th and Binns, are
the chief dependencies for the run.
ming attack.
The squad has another fine run
ming and passing back in Johnny
Cannon, expected to be the best all
around backfield man this season.
1t is doubtful if he will play against
Princeton, as he is still suffering
from injuries received in early prac
tice.
Joe Clifton, 19O-pound full
back. Slashing line hitter and
powerful defense player, was
also kept out Of the Duke game
by injuries, but it Is hoped he
can play a portion Of the Prince
ton game. TsChirgi and Nc
Cracken, both much lighter
and less experienced, are the
change fullbacks.
The backffeld has another asset
in Joe Bauer, one of the veterans
of the team and a good kicker,
passer and defensive player. Bauer's
versatility makes him valuable.
Nearly every lineman on the
squad was given some sort of a
chance on Saturday against Duke,
but the lineup against Princeton is
in much doubt. Hughes, center,
and Swan, left guard, are the only
linemen who are practically certain
to start.
