DENIED IN DETROIT
Judge Ayers Ice Cream Was
Served and Boys Band |
Entertained at Party. !,

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, February 13.--Detroit Of
fcials came forward today with their
version of the party held here last No
vember for State and local officials, Ac-
counts Of which figured in testimony be-
fore the House Judiciary committee at
Washington yesterday.
Walter Liggett, q writer, who ap-
peared before the committee, described
the affairs--one at which liquor was
served and dancers performed for the
edification OF Fred w. Green, former
Police Commissioner William p. Rut-
ledge, four municipal judges and other
offlcials.
Today one of the judge who was a
guest at the party said CiiaE nothing
stronger than ice cream was served and
that the entertainment was furnished
by boys band of 40 pieces. other
ot1cials, not so explicit, branded 1is-
gett's story of the party as a lie"
From Lansing came word that Gov.
Green would be glad to appear before
the congressional committee should that
BODY care to question him about pro-
hibition conditions in his State. The
governor is in Boston, where he will
deliver an address tonight.
Judge Homer Ferguson of the Circuit
Court said Liggett's story was an at
tempt to discredit Gov. Green. He said
speeches were given at the party by the
governor and other officials, after which
the Catholic Boys Band played and
short program of songs and dances was
furnished by professional performers,
who, he said, "haVe appeared before
some of the best men and women in
Detroit"

dancers entertain. Anybody who says 1
do IL hAf." ~-1
Oscar @. Olander, State commissioner
OF public safety, also mentioned as one
Of the guests, refused to comment.
Mayor Charles Bowles characterized
Liggett's account of a "slush fund"
raised during his campaign as per
fectly absurd. silly and entirely with
out any foundation in fact"

That different principle was involved
IN the Carley case-ofe unique in the
history OF American Jurisprudence.
The "test case" will be based on sec
ton 8 OF the national prohibition act,

after conference with all the Wit
nesseS, said the case was weak when
ordered charge of purchasing put
against Carley," he said, II understood

to testify that he had sold the liquor
to the man.
"This morning." he continued, ct

Government would win.

POLICEMAN CHASES
RUM CAR 2 MILES
THOUGH SHOT IN JAW

Continued From First Page.)
The ofilcers fired at them, but they
made their getaway. The woman oper-
ator Of the gasoline station at Shady
Side reported that one of the men was
wounded in the shoulder and had asked
her for iodine. The gas tank Of the
abandoned car was found empty, but q
reserve tank Of flve gallons had enabled
the car to get as far as 1t did.
The rum car was brought to Alex
andria and bloodhounds from the Dis
trict of Columbia Reformatory at Deco
guam were put on the tran at Shady
Side, but 1t led back to the road at q
point some distance away and was lost
The hunt was continued by q posse,
however until word was received that
the men had been arrested In BAlti-
more.
Police here obtained from the rum
car sufflcient information In the form
Of letters In an abandoned coat and the
Maryland license tags to notify wash
ington and Baltimore Of the men they
wanted. The men captured will be
brought here today and probably will
be tried in Alexandria.
The chase started when Crack and
Carr sighted the rum car at Key
Bridge 1t continued past the Arling-
ton National Cemetery and over Mount
Vernon avenue. The exchange Of shots
occurred on upper Mount Vernon ave-
niue.
The wounded rum-runner Is thought
to have been shot by Carr from the
position Of the bullet holes and the
description Of the running gun fight.
Carr abandoned the chase to care for
his wounded comrade.
Washington police, when they re-
ceived word of the arrests in Baltimore,
went to the 400 block of Maryland ave-
nue. southwest and found a bloody
shirt and bloody clothing thought to
have been worn by Sweet and dis
carded when his wound was attended
to. Police are attempting to f1nd out
who brought the men from Shady Side
to Washington.
Crack was taken to the Alexandria
Hospital by r. N. and John De Lash
mutt, who had been following the
chase. He lives at Leeway, Va, and
has q wife and two children.

FIGHT ON HUGHES
IS HELD ECONOMIC
Conservative and Radical
Opinions on Business Are
Seen as Issues.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The debate over the confirmation of
Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice
OF the United States is curiously sig
nif1cant of something that in no way
involves legal ability, but does concern
economic theories as they might be re-
hected by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Time was when the only thing con-
Sidered was the legal capacity and in
tegrity OF the individual justices. The
words conservative and radical were
used to describe those who stuck to the
letter Of the Constitution as contraSted
with those who were inclined to write
into the opinions of the court new or
implied powers Of the Constitution. To-
day the Characterization Of conservative
and radical relates almost entirely TO
economic questions.
Hughes Is Conservative.
Mr.. Hughes is aligned with the con-
sentative school Of thought In relation
to property rights, with two-thirds of
the Senate also conservative.
Lines, however, are only vaguely
drawn in Senate because men like
Senator Walsh of Montana, who usually
are found dealing with the progressive
group, are outSpokenly in favor of the
confirmation Of Mr.. Hughes. This
means that he believes the President
has the right to name to the bench
q man holding conservative views, Just
as President Wilson exercised the right
OF naming Justice Brandeis, who was
classified with the radicals on economic
matters.
Members of the Senate feel they have
right to examine into the economic
background of nominees to the supreme
bench.
Corporation Views" Cited.
The fact that MIR. Hughes expounded
his views on property rights for many
corporations is brought forward as eyi-
dence of what he thinks of matters of
law generally.
Mr.. Hughes might, as a Judge, render
q decision different from what he might
have argued as counsel, but the fact
remains that the principal opposition
to his confirmation has been based on
his conservatism.
More and more in recent years. the
Senate has shown a tendency to in
quite into the qualifications of persons
nominated for public office by the Pres
ident. Sometimes the discussion is in
tended merely as warning to the NOM
inee.
This fight may be said to be aimed
at impressing Mr.. Hughes with the
gravity OF his transition from service as
a corporation lawyer to service on the

I'm glad you think SO. We are
going to be friends, aren't we, Celia
dear? Good friendS!"
Celia felt she should proclaim
loudly that this was true. The
situation called for it. And yet in
frequently-but at this particular
moment-Celia Mitchell was aware
of sharp, uneasy distrust of Eve
Ign Parsons.
It was almost as though the love-
ly widow was too sweet, too eager
to befriend her. After such moods
passed Celia always was ashamed
Of them.
"I-appreciate everything you've
done for me-" she answered now
IT want to be friends, Mrs. Parsons"
Il VELYN PARSONS patted the
IL girls hand.
sweet child" she said. isn't it
fine your father is going to be able
to come down tomorrow? He's such
a slave to his work, poor man! I
suppose that's the price of bril-
lance"
Again Celia felt that twinge of
doubt. She gazed up at her hostess
and encountered serenely blue eyes,
smiling lips surely incapable of de-
ceit. Celia banished her fears and
branded them evil.
But though Mrs. Parsons had in
sisted the girl should choose her
OWL entertainment, she kept her
young guest beside her throughout
the afternoon.
There was no opportunity for
Celia to slip away and write the
letter she was so eager to send. In
stead she inspected the garden with
Mrs. Parsons, drove to the village
with Mrs. Parsons and finally well
coined guests with Mrs. Parsons.
A good share of this time Though
Celia did not notice it,, was devoted
to conversation concerning John
Mitchell.
The Duncan girls and Walter
Carr came late. 1t developed they
had stopped to see some tennis
matches. Eve and Courtney Brooks
drove up at o'clock in handsome
car of foreign make.
Jimmy Webster, who joked a
great deal about his career as a
young bond salesman, did not arrive
until just before dinner.
There was one other guest. Ce-
liza noticed his dark hair and erect
shoulders the minute he appeared.
She was sitting at the far side of
the living room. She saw Evelyn
go forward to meet him with OUT
stretched hand, but she could not
hear Evelyn'S words.
The tall youth with the dark
hair bent his head. He had I'M
derstood perfectly.
(which one is she?" he asked.
