|JONES' AUDITOR
ADMITS MISTAKES
Witness for Accused Or
phans' Treasurer Says II
of 70 Items Were Wrong.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, November Al.
M. Culbreth, defense accountant In the
embezzlement trial of j. p. Jones. for
mer treasurer OF the Virginia Methodist
Drainage, yesterday afternoon admitted
that his audit of the Jones orphanage
books was In error in II instances,
amounting to $7,594.13, which he had
enormously credited to Jones.
On the basis of hypothetical questions
propounded by commemorative Attor-
ney Dave E. Satterfield in cross-exani-
nation, Mr.. Culbreth figured that Jones
owed the orphanage $2l, 1926. When
he began his testimony as the principal
defense witness Friday he asserted that
the orphanage owed the former treas
urer more than $4,000 Jones is
charged with embezzling $4,000 of the
orphanage funds.
The commonwealth resorted to hypo-
thetical examination when Judge John
L. Ingram ruled that figures In the line
of questioning could not be used with
the particular denominations involved
In the case.
In the hypothetical examination Mr..
Satterfield asked Mr.. Culbreth to take
into account his own erroneous figures,
an amount corresponding to the $23,000
for which Mr.. Jones has made a settle
ment, figures amounting to $4,000 paid
the orphanage by Jones since the audit
began, figures equaling $4,000 in un-
identified disbursements which he had
credited to Jones without knowledge Of
what bills were paid with the money
and other items set forth in the audit
of F. L. Worcester, the accountant en-
polyed by the orphanage.
When crosS-examination on the first
exhibit had been finished. Mr.. Satter-
field asked him II it were not true that
95 per cent Of the items listed in that
exhibit were inaccurate. Culbreth re-
piled all but seven or eight were wrong,
and admitted that approximately two
thirds of the items he had claimed as
were listed on the Jones orphanage

BLAMES SUSPENSION
ON 2 CLOSE FRIENDS
Chief Aide to Maurice Campbell

Induced to Get Evidence.

BOSTON, November 4.-The Boston
Evening American today quotes James
j. Donovan, assistant prohibition direc-
tor of New York, whose home is in this
CITY, as admitting he has been suspend
ed for having given a drink to two sup
posed friends, whom he afterward dis
covered had been induced to help get
evidence against him.
Donovan was chief aid to Maurice
Campbell, prohibition administrator for
New York, who resigned last Summer
after declining to accept transfer to
Boston.
Donovan charged, the American said,
that Campbell had been forced out be-
cause he enforced the prohibition law
in New York" and AIDED 1T was only
natural that his chief aid would soon
follow in his footsteps"
There is no particular mystery In
this affair, and fortunately there are no
scandals which can be preferred against
me-" Donovan said. THE actual charge
against me is taking drink of liquor
and giving couple of drinks to two
men whom had always considered
close personal friends and whom have
since learned were working for the
higher-upS in the department to get
evidence that would sustain a charge
against me-"

The essential difference is this. traps fish suc- cessfully only where the fish are moving hence traps are placed where the tides are strong and swift. Seines fish normally on- ly where the tide is slack and where the fish have already schooled. When our seines were forced out into the trap areas, we had to do exactly as they do put out a lead from the shore end force the fish to school. This is called the ''hOok-off." MT.

 Saginaw Bay is one of the principal and ancient fishing grounds of the 300 natives who live at Rake. It is on the north vest end of Kuiu Island. In the interest of conservation this bay was closed to Pt. Cornwallis. This put both the seines and traps out of business so that mo- body caught any fish. For some mysterious reason, the line on tie north shore was moved to- ward the inner bay a distance of LOCO yards.

In speaking about the force of these experi- ments, MT.

V. Pudovkin, following the practice
Of the Soviet cinematography, did
not employ any extras for his "mob

their natural surroundings and at
their accustomed tasks.
But considerable coaching was
nevertheless necessary before the
natural scenes" could be success
fully "shot." Pudovkin desired to
obtain a certain degree of "acting"
from his unsophisticated men and
women. In the course of his coach
ing he observed a rather curious
distinction between the Buryate and
the Chinese. In order to obtain the
desired response from the Buryats
all Pudovkin had to do was to tell
them the story and explain to them

The high-handed method of treat
ing the workers children who are
fighting with the Communist Party
for better living conditions and for
the right to support the struggles
of their parents, exposes the real
purpose of the schools, as institu-
tions of the bosses only. All forms
of religious and military organiza-
tons like the Deborach Society and
the Boy and Girl Scouts are encour-
aged and supported by the school
authorities, in order to make the
children willing slaves for the
bosses. At the same time members
of the Young Communist League
and Young Pioneers are being per-
secuted, and sentenced to Jail, as

the nature of the given situation.
Having understood their part, the
Buryats acted it in most natural
way. With the Chinese the case
was quite different. Story and
situation meant little to them. They
wanted specific instructions. When
Pudovkin (himself a good actor)
showed them what to do before the
camera, they did it well.
Many Of the outdoor shots were
taken at Verkhne- Udinsk, capital of
the Buryato-Mongolian Republic.
Frequent excursions were also made
into the outlying settlements. Pud-
ovkin made thorough study of
Mongolian landscape, of native
architecture as well as habits and
customs of the people before he pro-
ceeded with the filming of the his
trionic scenes. In the very rhythm
Of the lives Of the natives as well
as in the rhythm Of the Monaghan
landscape he found the tempo for
his monumental screen epic.
