DEM son DRY
PLEA STUDIED

Justice Peyton Gordon took
under adviSement today the de-
murrer filed . by attorneys for
Representative Edward E. Deni-
son, to q recent indictment re-
ported against him and John E.
Layne, his former secretary, charg-
ing violation Of the prohibition
act by possession of a suitcase
and a trunk filled with liquor.
The plea was filed some time
ago and attacked the technical
construction of the indictment.
The arguments expanded the
attack and it is believed that a
serious question was raised by the
CongreSSman'S attorneys which
may have the effect of vitiating
the indictment against the two.
Attorneys Everett c. Sanders,
former secretary to President
Coolidge; william E. Leahy, e.
Hilton Jackson and James Reilly
represented the member Of Con-
gresS during the arguments today.
Not Particular Enough
It is contended by the counsel
that the indictment fails to state
with sufficient particularly the
offenSe charged against the two
individuals and the fact that the
pieces Of baggage were seized in
separate places is cited in the
arguments as showing q lack of
particularly.
The indictment against the
pair was reported last October,
although the alleged seizure of
the baggage containing the liquor
occurred early last year. No
reason was given by the Prohibi-
ton Bureau for the delay, United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
explaining that he had had the
case presented to the grand jury
as soon as it came into his hands.
Shortly after DeniSon'S indict.
Dlent, John j. Quinn was said to
h6NC bCCA bG~AAoACAACu 10 4cAd6
and later dismissed from the pro-
hibition service. At the same time
Frank j. Herbert, administrator
for this district, was transferred
to Idaho and Montana. Quinn
was Herbert's deputy.
Followed Expose
The transfers. followed closely
after Frank Flynn, q special
agent in the Prohibition Bureau,
filed with the White House Ger.
tain affidavitS and statements,
which were announced at the
time, would "blow the lid off,"
Speculation is rife as to whether
or not the DeniSon case had any
effect on the transfers and de-
motions following his indictment
and it has been rumored that
none Of the seized liquor has ever
been turned in at the Prohibition
Bureau warehouse and no Speci-
mems of the evidence can be
produced.

disease was fully known to Ander-
son, physicians in the Public
Health Service said. and that al!
possible precautions against 1t
were taken by him.
AnderSon'S death Is no basis
whatever for the belief that an
epidemic of parrot fever is I'M
minent here, DR.. Hugh 8. Cum
ming, surgeon general, declared.
AnderSon'S case, he said, was a
unique one. as he was handling
bodies of parrots known or Sus-
pected to be infected with tine
disease and dio so with full
knowledge Of his danger.
None In District
DR.. Cummings pointed out that
it is impossible for parrots to con.
tract the disease except by con
tact with an already infected bird
and that parrots which have been
in this country since before No
vember ! are all free from the
disease.
No other cases have been re-
ported in Washington and DR..
Cumming anticipates none.
One case of suspected parrot
fever, however, was reported to
the Public Health Service In New
port News, Va, q request being
made that an officer Of the service
be sent there for consultation with
State and local physicians.
DR.. l.. F. Dodger left here last
night for Newport News. The
patient is reported to have been
connected with a pet shop.
The Public Health Service is con.
tinuing it's experiments with par-
rotS to determine the nature of
the disease. The bodies Of eight
parrots which were associated with
human cases of the disease are
being used.
Healthy parrots have been ex.
posed to material from bodies OF
the dead ones and a number OF
them have shown signs of illness,
All however, are recovering,
More than 200 cultures have
been obtained from the dead birds,
but thus far no organizm has been
found which proves the specific
cause Of the disease.

Wilkins Is in Serious
Difficulty, Scientist
Tells PHILOSOPHER,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8.-Fear
that Sir Hubert wilkins, unheard
from for IL days, is in more
serious difficulty than at first
was supposed, was expressed last
night by DR.. Isaiah Bowman, di.
rector Of the American Geograph.
ical Society in an address to the
American Philosophical Society.
The wilkins situation is alarm

not been heard from for IL days
and appears to be in serious diff.

be attributed longer to a break
down Of his radio. Were it a
radio breakdown it long since
would have been repaired"
DR.. Bowman interrupted the
reading Of a scientific paper en-
titled "Antarctica," to review the
situation Of the three polar expe.

miral Richard e. Byrd and Sir
Douglas MawsoD. The latter, he
said, was in no difficulty, but
he described Byrd'S predicament
as alarming but not critical" !"
He expressed the belief that the
next few days will determine
whether or not Byrd viii be able
to make his way through the ice
packs to his base.
DR.. Bowman's address was
broadcast by q chain of IL Ameri
can broadcaSting stations and
was relayed by Short-wave radio
to the three polar expeditions by
station KDKA at Pittsburgh.
The eminent geographer paid
warm tribute to the courage Of
the three explorers and compli-
mented the American newspapers
for the generous encouragement
given them. He mentioned par
ticularly the support given VIII.

In commenting on his reSolu-
ton. which is being prepared to

on him on two different occasions
and denied the charges filed
against him by Capt. Frank F.

hibition bureau law clerk.
Reports Refused
''While was rather favorably
impressed with Colonel Herbert"
Wheeler Eaid, "I am unable to
determine definitely as to the
charges made against him be-
cause the Bureau Of Prohibition
has refused to furnish me with
reports Of Investigations by its
own special agents into Colonel
Herbert's conduct.
Likewise the Department Of
Justice has refused to make an
investigation into the statements
Of Captain Flynn which were
turned over by me to them.
"By reason Of the fact that the

has been going on.

eff the prohibition law cannot
be enforced, or if it is not going
to be enforced by the present ad-
ministration, it ought to be re-
pealed.
Everybody knows that it is not

"'Can it be enforced, or are
the officers who have charge Of

Battling for two jobs, therefore,
are Daney, Boone. Hildebrand and
Jones, right-handers, and Hall and
Walter Wolf, left-handers. The
frail Jones, rookie from Nebraska,
has yet to go under fire and his
sharp curve and natural baseball

Furthermore, the inf1eld as a
whole is a light hitting outfit and
it has become absolutely necessary
to all some punch at one position
to make up for the shortage of the
same in the other posts, particular
ly at first base, where Pete Mona
han, demon fielder, holds forth.
Pete is striving nightly to improve
in hitting, but in exhibition games
to date his batting strength has
been woefully weak.
The combination Of Sticking at
second and Warstler at short is so
good defensively that it would be
unwise to break it up.
Connolly was the teams second
baSeman for nearly three years and
was shifted to third this spring
when Sticking returned to his old
job, where he is class all over, and
though Bud has given his best, it
doesn't take an expert to see he
does not measure up to the pace
set by the other members Of the
