LAVARRE NOW FREE
UNDER $1,000 BOND
Former Publisher Appeals
Case After Court Gives
Added Sentence.
By the Associated Press.


AUGUSTA, Ga, June 28.-Although
sentenced to serve 20 days in addition
to the 80 days he has been in Jail here
already, William Lavarre, former South
eastern newspaper publisher, was free
tonight under $1,000 bond pending the
filing by his counsel of bill of excep.
lions to a court ruling handed down
today In criminal contempt case.
Federal Judge William H. Barrett
sanctioned Lavarre's release on bond
shortly after he had issued a written
opinion, setting forth his findings in q
hearing held in Augusta 10 days ago,
and had imposed the additional SEN
tence on Lavarre. The amount of bond
had been set previously by Federal
Judge Bascom S. Beaver of Macon, Ga,
under whose jurisdiction the contempt
charges were preferred originally, but
attorneys for Lavarre had been unable
to furnish it until today. when the bond
was signed by New York surety COM
pany.
Denied Purpose to Evade.
The charges against Lavarre resulted
from his failure to comply with certain
orders issued by Judge Beaver in con-
nection with his prolonged litigation
with Harold Hall, former associate in
the operation of a group of Georgia
and South Carolina newspapers. The
case was transferred to Augusta after
Lavarre surrendered to Federal authori-
ties here the latter part of May. At
his last hearing, Lavarre denied that he
ever had any intention of evading Judge
beavers orders.
Judge Barrett, in his opinion today,
however, said: THE fact, if such be q
fact, that the order of January 6, 1880,
was erroneous, either by lack of power
or by wrongful exercise of discretion,
does not alter the fact that it stood
for and stands as an order Of q court
Of competent Jurisdiction, and 1t If can
be defied and set at naught,. then any
order of any court can be defied and
set at naught. But defiance cannot
be tolerated by court that would
maintain its power and dignity"
Charges Sent Here.
Since the hearing before Judge Bar
rett, Lavarre has sent to the Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives in
Washington a petition charging Judge
Beaver with irregularities in the con-
duct Of the Hall-Lavarre litigation, and
requesting congressional investigation
of the jurist's Office. A House subcom-
mittee Is considering Lavarres charges.
Lavarre's attorneys were allowed 80
days to file their bill Of exceptions to
Judge Barrett's ruling.

new ALCOHOL BODY
NAMES UNCERTAIN.
Positions Still Open in Treas
ury Bureau, to. Start
Tuesday.

Uncertainty still hung over the old
Prohibition Bureau of the Treasury
Department yesterday as 1t approached
the end of its life, which expires next
Tuesday,
Under the change which transfers
prohibition enforcement from the Treas
ury to the Department of Justice, the
principal appointments have been made
in the Department of Justice, including
much of the old prohibition enforce
ment personnel.
But in the Treasury there remains
to be set up before Tuesday morning, a
new Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, and
q new Bureau of Narcotics, whose off,
Gals have not as yet all been selected.
DR.. James M. Doran, commissioner
of prohibition, is slated to be appointed
as the new commissioner of industrial
alcohol. But there are three other
important jobs which have not yet
been filled. They are the deputy COM
missioner of industrial alcohol, the
commissioner of narcotics and the
deputy commissioner Of narcotics.
Names Put Forward.
Harry j. Anslinger, assistant prohibit
ton commissioner, is known to be in
line for one of these three jobs. but
which one he will draw has not as yet
been decided, 1t was indicated in
authoritative circles.
DR.. B. R. Rhees, former head of
special agents and now deputy prohibi-
ton commissioner, Is another man
whose services without doubt will be
retained in some capacity in the new
lineup, He was formerly narcotic
agent in charge for this district and
iS a physician.
The post of general counsel of the
new Bureau of Industrial Alcohol is
understood to be picked for James j.
Britt, who for years has been general
counsel of the Bureau Of Prohibition.
Much hinges on the presidential Sc
lection of new commissioner Of mar
coticS. The late Stephen Porter, author
of the bill to create new Bureau Of
Narcotics, died but few days before
the law became operative. 1t Is under
stood he was urging Rear Admiral Mark
Bristol retired, for the post of narcotic
chief.
Many to New Bureau.
Several other candidates are in the
field, including Capt. Richmond Hob
son, retired. Anslinger is also known
to be highly considered for the post.
Some of the rank and file of the per-
sonnet of the old Prohibition Bureau
will go to the new bureau in the De-
partment of Justice and some will re-
main in the Treasury Department.
A successor to Maurice Campbell,
who resigned the new post which had
been assigned him of permit supervisor
1t Boston, Mass, has not been an
nounced.

SEES END OF DUMPING.

Chairman Legge of the Farm Board
SAID yesterday Russian dumping of
wheat at European ports cannot con-
tinue for q great while longer II Il Is
kept up at the present rate.
He described the hurried marketing
OF the Russian crop as the most dis
turbing factor on the Grain Exchange
today and blamed it for the recent
downward movement.
The latter was caused by tremendous
Russian shipments and the Soyiet's
plans for the immediate future, he said.
as revealed In its chartering Of slaips
tor the movement Of its grain.
He said he could not understand
Russia's reasons for dumping its wheat
at once and added that If it had been
marketed a little at q time, In an
orderly manner, the Soviet's financial
return would have been greater.
Asked his opinion Of the British Com
sentative partys plan for wheat pur-
cnases on quota basis Of IS per cent
nome grown, 66 per cent imported from
the dominions and per cent from al
other countries, Legge said It was q
logical proposal.
The scheme seeks to accomplish. he
said, what other European nations are
doing through their tariff barriers.
Whatever the British do, he added. he
sees no hope for an Improvement in
american wheat exports to Great
Britain.

age, arrived on the liner De Grasse yes
terday to seek employment and visit
Phyllis Church Terrell of Washington,
who he said was his fiaucea. But there
were obstacles to his achieving either
purpose.
Klandenstein was found the second
day out wandering about the corridors
carrying an umbrella. As umbrellas
are not customary wear for ocean travel,
he was questioned. He said he had
been a count in Austria when there
were counts in Austria and was blood
descendant of the Hapsburgs. Since
the war he has been working as a hair
dresser in Paris. He had no ticket, but
he showed Miss Terrell's card. He was

FISH COMMITTEE
GOES TO FAR WEST
Communist Investigators End
Grain Probe-ToId Soviet
Deals Were Legitimate.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 3o.-The Con-
gressional Committee on Communistic
Activities, which completed hearing
yesterday on Soviet Russia's recent
grain operations on the Chicago Board
of Trade, today was en- route to the
Pacific Coast.
Testimony by officials of the Chicago
Board Of Trade and brokers classed the
Russian short selling of wheat as legiti-
mate hedging, handled in the regular
line of business by the brokers, who
acted for the all-Russian textile syn
dictate.
Joseph P. Griffin, thrice president of
the Board of Trade and partner of
j. S. Bache & Co., which sold 100000
bushels Of wheat for the Russians, said
the sales were in part at a fixed price,
indicating there was no attempt to de-
press the market. He said low prices
for wheat were due to q generally de-
pressed condition in all commodities.
soard Of Trade officials said the So
Iet was barred from future short selling
operations because there is an inherent
evil in foreign governments competing
with private traders.
In addition to the grain men, the
committee heard John L. Lewis, inter-
national president of the United Mine
Workers of America. Lewis cited in
stances in recent years in which Rus
sian Communists had attempted to
arouse. miners and said there was no
room in America for Communist phil
osopi1y.
Representative Hamilton Fish, IT.. of
New York, chairman of the commit
tee, announced the committee would
inquire into Communistic activity in
Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and
other Far Western points.
The Business Conduct Committee Of
the Chicago Board Of Trade resumed its
inquiry into the Russian wheat sales
today despite the fact that the COM
mittee chairman, Joseph w. Badenoch,
testified before the congressional hear
ing yesterday his committee had Salts
ned itself that there was no intent TO
depreSs prices"
The Board Committee was to hear the
testimony of e. Y. Belitsky, head of
the all-Russian textile syndicate, which
placed the orders for the wheat sales
IN New York.
