ferring liquor. Both times she got
away.
The inquiry was recessed until later
In the day at the request of Consul
Campbell, who said he desired to pro-
duce members of the liquor ships crew
to testify to the alleged intoxication
of Schmidt.
Schmidt, recalled to the stand, had
again testified that he was sober. He
produced q chart which had been used
by Capt. Cluett and pointed to two
positions marked on 1t, both of which
been the ship owners contention that
their craft was outside United States
waters at the time of the Smelling.
Schmidt told an official body of In
quiry yesterday that the Josephine X
was sighted two and a half miles south
east Of Ambrose LightShip and was
boarded four and half miles from
the light.
In denial of . statement by Wesley
Anderson, first mate Of the rum-runner,
Schmidt said he was not intoxicated
at the time Of the case. He was sup
ported In this by members of his crew
and his superior officers.
Says Smelling Was Necessary.
Answering q question by Consul Gen.
eral Campbell, Schmidt testified it would
have been impossible to catch the alxil-
airy schooner without Smelling her. She
was drawing away at q 14-knot clip,
he said, while the cutter could make
only IL knots.
The significance of the speed launch
that escaped as the cutter bore down
on the cluster Of boats was revealed
by Schmidt. He said Capt Mario
Laudi of the barge Brooklyn told him
the craft held hi-jackers who were in
the process of transferring his cargo
when the cutter appeared.
The Brooklyn already had been
boarded by ten men from the depreda-
tory speedboat, Schmidt told the board
Of inquiry, and they had backed the
| crew against the cabin and started
transferring some heavy sacks" tc
their own craft.
The arrival Of the las ended thi.
piece Of piracy. Then the Government
men got in their work.
The witness swore he had fired the
six warning shots required by Coast
Guard regulations before he trained his
gun on the Josephine K, and denied
the encounter took place outside the IL.
mile limit, at which United States jur.
isdiction ends.
He thus contradicted two points made
by Anderson, who declared the shellinS
occurred Is miles offshore and the frs
shot fired from the cutter rippeG
through the superstructure of thu
| Canadian vessel.
Schmidt, q veteran Of the Coas
Guard service, indicated the exact posi-.
ton Of the beginning of the chase. HI
testified he pursued the Josephine K
about two miles and said he was about
four and q half miles southeast Of
Ambrose Light when he opened fire
That put him about 10 miles of shore
Anderson contends that the Smelling
took place Is miles from the shoreline.
The boatswain testified he himself
handled the gun on the las. His first
three shots, he said, were fired into the
air. Then he turned his searchlight
on the flag, as required by regulations
and fired three times across the bow
of the Canadian ship. After that he
got down to business with two direct
| bits. Schmidt didn't know which one
Of them wounded Capt. Cluett, but at
the second shot the Josephine K hove

PLAN TO DEMAND
BONUS GIVEN UP
Self-Appointed Leader of Marchers
Finds Others Reached
Goal First.

John Alferi, self-appointed leader of
the army" Of unemployed World War
veterans, who tramped from Philadel-
phia to Washington to appeal to Con-
gress and President Hoover for the en-
actment Of cash bonus legislation, took
to the road today for the return trip
without carrying out his plans.
Alferi was sore, mentally as well as
physically, for when he arrived in Wash
ington late yesterday after the 138-mile
trek, he discovered that a group of men
who deserted his army in Elkton, Md,
on the second day of its march mad
beaten him to the goal, grabbed of all
the glory he had expected to receive,
and left him with only hollow victory
and two blistered and aching feet. So
there was nothing left for him to do but
start back home, and this he did pronto
after visiting the various newspaper
offices and bewailing his fate.
Alferi, with five footsore and weary
survivors Of his original army of 200,
plodded into Washington shortly before
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went
directly to the Capitol to greet Repre-
sentative Welsh Of Pennsylvania. And
to his utter amazement, he said. he
was told he was too late, that his dele
gates" arrived earlier in the day, pre-
sented their appeals, shook hands with
Mr.. Welsh, and posed for photographs.
Nov what was left for me to do?"
Alferi asked dejectedly. "I carried out
the plans as originally mapped out to
march to Washington. The men who
deserted and got here first bummed
rides from friendly motorists. That
was not on the program. It was unfair
to me and the men who stuck by me
until we reached our goal"
But that's not the explanation offered
by the veterans who called on Mr..
Welsh. They declared the army had
no leader, that the sole purpose of the
expedition was to get to Washington
to urge cash payment on the adjusted
compensation certificates, and that
there was no agreement on the part of
the men as how they were to make the
trip. The men whas were unable to
bum" rides, they insisted, were just
"out Of luck"
Alferi, however, insists that the dis
sention in his army was due to the fact
that be was not "a general in Uniform"

local donations of cash and supplies.
AS local resources become exhausted,
we make cash grants to the chapters to
meet their needs. Due to the gradual
depletion of local funds 1t has become
increasingly necessary to supplement
the resources of chapters. From the
beginning of the operation TO December
81, 1890, AIS per cent of the drought
stricken expenditures came from local
funds: from January to January 81,
1881, only 11.8 per cent of these ex-
penditures came from local funds"
During the first 10 days of January,
Payne said, the needs Of hundreds of
communities greatly increased due to
the exhaustion Of chapter and individual
resources and demand upon the Red
Cross to feed live stock
1T became apparent that the amount
appropriated for the disaster would be
inadequate.
THE President, then at the request
Of the Red Cross asked the people b
contribute $lq,Ooo,0oo."

Groner directed q verdict of acquittal
for the defendant in the case.
Among the complaints made at the
hearing last week, were that the Judge
had not allowed Government counsel
as much time as the defense and that
he had usurped the function of the
jury by the directed verdict.
The favorable decision of the sub
committee today was taken as an in

his confirmation. The Endorsement of
the subcommittee will be reported to

HATS OF ALL SIZES
APPROVED BY PARIS

There is nothing monotOnOus
about hat fashions this summer.
Sizes range from mere skull caps
to cape lines, with brims a foot
wiGe. There is AS much variety in
shapes as in sizes and more ma
terials involved than there is room
to list. Soft, fabriclike straws
crecheted or mesh straws are being
used for new versions of the beret,
and to make crowns for some of
the brimmed hats The familiar
panama. baku. milan, leghorn and
other well knowns are making all
manner of brimmed hats. Stitching
is used to give body to cotton and
linen hats and to decorate brimmed
sports hats of jersey and felt.
Among the small hats Agnes
French colonial creations and Su-
zanne Talbot's derby-brimmed hats
are of particular interest. Agnes
has taken the various headgears
and hair dresses of the MOroccans,
the Algerians, the Cambodians and
translated them in a collection Of
peaked and wrapped and draped
turbans and berets that are enor-
mously smart. Furthermore, she
has taken over the brilliant and ex-
otic colorings that distinguish the
original models.

sports clothes.
There are, for instance, scarfs
made in triangles of the three col

are scarfs of the three colors in
wide stripes, others with the center
portion of the scarf white, the ends
striped red and blue. These scarfs
striped and triangles, are made OF
the finest wool crocheted in a
