Will Rogers
Says:

S. S. LIE DE FRANCE.-The one
person that have missed on this
trip home was Charles E. Hughes.
On my last one, no one on the boat
will ever forget his cheerful good
nature and the wholeSouled fellow
that he showed himself when he
landed. Everybody was in favor of
giving him the same position in
America that Mussolini so thorough
ly enjoys In his country.
I especially missed him last night
in the charity entertainment. He is
a fine fellow, and smarter, too, than
you would think he is; not so much
in book learning, but in his rough,
uncouth, native way. He will make
us a good man on that Supreme
couch, and he can't possibly do us
any harm, for Supreme Court de-
cisionS will always remain the same,
five against four. When its six to
three that's called unanimous. So
good luck to you, Charley.

RAIDERS TO FACE
BOARD FOR SEARCH
Letterman and Three of His
Squad Accused by Mr..
and Mrs. Harmon.

Sergt. Oscar j. Letterman and three
members of his raiding squad probably
will go on trial before the Police Trial
Board within the next week or two
weeks on charges growing out of raid
made March % on the apartment of
Mr.. and Mrs. Eleck Harmon, S street
near Sixteenth street, without a search
warrant.
The squad seized liquor at the apart
ment, but Assistant United States At
torney David Aiken Hart, in charge of
Police Court liquor prosecutions, de-
clineG to issue papers in the case, say
ing that the squad had made an illegal
entry.
Late yesterday Mr. and Mrs Harmon
called at police headquarters and made
formal complaints of the conduct of
Lettcrman and his squad. The COM
plants were taken down in shorthand
by Police Department stenographer
and sworn to by the Harmons.
They were then sent to Maj Henry
G. Pratt. superintendent of police, for
action. He has promised that the men
will be brought before the trial board
and that the Harmons will be given an
opportunity to appear as prosecuting
witnesses.
According to Lieut.. Lionel l. H. Ed
wards, before whom the complaints
were made, the story related is sub
stantially the same as that told pre-
viously, except that Letterman is ac-
cused CT pushing Mrs. Harmon aside
and entering after she had told him
that a person for whom he had an
arrest warrant was not in her apart
ment. The affidavits state that the
liquor was found in closet when the
squad searched the apartment.
The other members of the squad who
will be called to trial along with Letter.
man are Detective Richard Cox and
Privates Mostyn and F. A. Truscott.
