SALE OF DEFECTIVE
C|GARSLA|D TO TWO
HuckinS and Father, Facing
Fraud Charge, Are Accused
by Emil LeVSen.
BY the Associated Press.


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, March IA
The mysterious" business enterprise of
George Huckins and his father, which
aroused the curiosity of the Nation
through reports of high dividends and
legal troubles, may have been the sale
of defective cigars.
Testimony to this effect by the first
witness In Huckins' trial on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses
led prosecutors { } call G. S. Ogilvie, Des
MoineS supervisor for the General Cigar
Co.. to the stand today to testify regard
ing the disposal OF imperfect cigars by
manufacturers.
Emil IevSen, former pitcher for the
Cleveland Base Ball Club of the Ameri-
can League. said on the witness stand In
opening the States case that he in
vested $500 with Huckins after the latter
told him he and his father, Elmer S.
Huckins of Hancock, Wis, conducted
$3.50 100000 business wholeSaling cigars
known in the trade as seconds"
Levsen testified that he was promised
So per cent interest on go days prom
isSory note signed by Huckins and his
father last october, but that he never
received either principal or interest.
OgifYie also was on the stand for a
short time late yesterday, but little of
his testimony went into the records be-
cause of Neo1tinual objections from the
defense.
Prosecutors planned to revise their
line Of questioning today after Judge
Ellison warned them they had not quail
fed Ogilvie as capable Of testifying on
the subject of defective cigars.
Ogilvie said HuckinS was employed by
the General Cigar Co. as q salesman
about 10 years ago.

DOUBLE SCREEN GRID
SOON EXPECTED OUT
Improved Reception and Lower
Cost Promised With Five
Element Tube.
BY ROBERT MACK.

The double screen grid set. using the
much-controverted pentode or flve-ele-
ment tube, shortly is to make It's APP
pearance.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement by the Radio Manufac-
turerS' Association that the pentode sets
seem further off than ever, and will
not be presented this season, comes
word that in Chicago the set will be
offered to the public almost immedi-
ately. The manufacturers promise i'm
proved radio reception at lower cost.
Two months ago the Coco Manu-
featuring Co. of Providence, r. l., an
nounced it had perfected the pentode,
and that it would eliminate the multi
tube receiver and thus lower manu-
featuring costs of sets and the mainte-
nance costs to owners. But the Manu-
facturerS' Association took ISSUE saying
the tube was neither new nor revolu-
tionary and that 1t is impracticable.
This started a battle of words, which
has progressed since in radio engineer
ing and manufacturing circles, and
which has fascinated the public.
According to reliable information, the
Pentode set will be introduced by a
Chicago radio retailer and shortly will
be marketed throughout the country.
Only the test of time will reveal wheth-
er Coco or the organized remainder of
the radio industry pitted against it in the
wrangle is right. Coco Is a member of
the association, which represents vir-
tually the entire receiving set and tube
industry.
The manufacturers association an
flounces that manufacturers generally
are agreed that the Pentode set Is out
of sight. At meeting last week in New
York, it was stated, 1t became evident
that many of the larger set manufac-
for 1880 and no sets using Pentode
tubes had been included.
A large majority of the manufacture
ers' representatives attending the meet
ing held that experiments so far had
not demonstrated that the fiYe-element
