described Mr.. Denison as a serious
public official, a member of the
House Committee on Interstate
mad Foreign Commerce, with a
hobby for collecting dishes. On
a visit to Panama in the fall OF
1928 Mr.. Denison purchased a
large quantity Of dishware for
his relatives and friends.
Brought Dishes
When he prepared to return to
the States Mr.. Sanders asserted
that he purchased a number OF
Army trunks of regulation size in
which to ship the articles he had
collected, and on arriving in port
at New Orleans gave instructions
to express company agents con-
cerning the shipment to Washing
ton.
The trunk seized in MIR. Deni'
sons office by prohibition agents
was not his own, MIR. Sanders as
serted ON behalf Of Mr.. DenisOn,
but, through some inadvertence,
had become confused with the
private trunks left ON the pier at
the Southern port.
MIR. DenisOn's trunk contained
dishes, which he had sent to
Washington as o present for a
former secretary, counsel said.
Denies Trunk Ownership
The testimony of Agent Quinn
corroborated Mr.. Sanders open
ing statement, in part, when the
attorney told the jury that, or
the first visit Of the prohibition
agent to his office, Mr.. DeniSon
did not have the keys to the
trunk, but arranged to meet the
agent later In the evening with
the keys. When they met, Mr.
Sanders asserted that none Of
Mr.. Denison's keys would fit the
lock, and it was then that he ex
amined the trunk more closely
and discovered that it was moi
his own, because it bore the
name Of e. e. Babcock on the
side.

ship fell back today on that an
cient Napoleonic maxim:
"The Old Guard dies (maybe)
but it never surrenderS."
Senator Simeon D. FesS, Of

Lucas To Remain
Robert III. Lucas, Of Kentucky,

That is the party attitude to-

Norris Charges "Power Trust"
Would Control Major Parties

Norris charged the power
trust with seeking control Of
both major parties through the
next conventions. He charged it
with corrupting public officials,
legislatures, regulatory commits
sions and even parties. He de-
clared:
"The secret agents of this
trust have gone into political
partnership with the lower ele.
Snents of humanity, and have
undertaken to, and in many
cases have succeeded in corrupt
ing public officials.

numerous corporations, paying
no attention whatever to their

upon false capitaIiZatiOns and

They have spent millions in
c0rrupting and misleading legis-
latureS, regulating commissions,
political parties and all other
men and organizations having
to do with the sO-calIed regula-
tiOn Of public utilities. Wher.
ever it has been possible, they
have contaminated and misIed
the press Of the United States.
They have done all this, and
more, secretly and under cover,
and the expense Of it all has
been and is being paid by those

this gigantic trust supplies"

Of previously chosen topics. With
various liberal leaders presiding
the conference planned to discuss
control Of public utilities, farm
relief, unemployment relief, tariff
revision, and a return to represen-
tative government.
Administration Indicted
The insurgent leaders opening
address was q terrific indictment
Of the Hoover Administration,
without mentioning the President
by name. He pictured rural and
industrial distress and declared
no relief had been provided by the
Government. The farmer, he
said, had produced q surplus Of
food, only to be unable to receive
a living income while food prices
scared beyond the reach Of the
