 making a bail report pending his
 second trial on charges of attack l ing Mrs Massie. The melting pot" i jury at the first trial disagreed. A middle aged woman pointed him out to a young man, who ap- preached Kahahawai with a fake arrest warrant. The husky young

 Night on Work of Y
ALL OVER THE WORLD

At a meeting oon the Inter-club assembly in the central Y last night, Frank B. Lenz, information al secretary of the Y. M. c. A.. from New York, gave an interest ing address on the work of the organization in the United States and other countries. including China.
 "The world has shrunk into a neighborhood," the speaker said. "The Y. M. c. A. is one of the chief organizations trying to con- vert the world into real brother hood. The Y is accomplishing much toward it's goal of world union by sharing it's developments and the vital elements of it's pro- grams. The work is being done in such a manner so that it will not upset the scheme of things in any nation. The way to eternal peace is not by aims or arms, not by force or violence, but by faith and friendship. good will and coopera- tfon.''
 MT Lenz described his work in one of the large cities of China, telling how he cooperated with the government, students, officials merchants, and educated classes to show that the Y was not in their city to exploit them.

F olice Intimate
 Contact Made In Canal St. Case
No New Developments in Raid on Booze Cache li Which Yielded One of Greatest HauIs in Months

Members of the emergency squad after working silently for three days have established the identity of the owner of the big still seized in a raid last Friday noon at 73 Canal street. An arrest will be made within the next twenty-four hours, it was intimated today. If one of the real directors of the company doesn't take the rap, one of the minor lights will be taken into custody. The police have established contact and intend to take action at once.
 The 500-gallon still and 2,500- gallon vats with complete access sories were seized as a climax to a weeks excitement along Canal street. No one was found on the premises when Patrolmen Daniel J. Carson and his emergency squad entered the place. Federal agents joined the local police within a few minutes time and thereby linked the still with the raid of last

Honolulu, T. H., April 5.-CUP) Half a dozen prospective jurors from Hawairs melting pot" were in the box today as Clarence Dar- row dropped his studied wariness in defense of four accused Ameri- can "honor slayers" with the guilt or innocence of their alleged vic- tim temporarily barred as evidence in the case.
 Calm and unruffled until the wordy conflict over the "unwritten law" appeared to go against him, Darrow threw aside his pose to shout and gesticulate to judge and yenire in the crowded little court.
 He was again the militant war rior who pleaded for John Scopes, the Chicago thrill slayers, the Los Angeles Times bombers, and George Pettibone of Idaho.
 Mrs Grace Bell Forescue, New York and Washington socialite, and her three men co-defendants shared none of Darrow's emotion. Seated beside him, at a counssI table, they watched as he parried for a chance to link their asserted victime, Joe Kahahawai, with ar attack on Mrs Fortescue's daugh- ter, Thalia Fortescue Massie. The society woman's son-in-law Lieutenant Thomas H. Mas sic, jointly accused with her, lean- ed forward as the name of his girl wife was mentioned. The other two defendants, B. J. Lord and AL bert O.. Jones, navy enlisted men, apparently were embarrassed.
 Darrow questioned Kenneth Bankston. an American venireman, as the first days session drew to a close. His queries indicated de- fense plan to submit their case without introduction of evidence.
 John Kelley, ready-tongued pub- lie prosecutor, opposed this. Quick ly he interposed a question to Bankston:
 Are you willing to return a ver- dict, understanding that the guilt or innocence of Kahahawai in the Ala Moana (the Massie attack easel has nothing to do with the present trial?"
 Darrow leaped to his feet and shouted, "I should say the Ala Moana case certainly has some thing to do with this case"
 He pounded a desk and turned to Circuit Judge Charles s. Davis, austere young Harvard man.
 "I hardly think counsel should ignore the matter" said Darrow. Judge Davis ruled out Kelley's question, but warned that formal ruling later may strike at the foundation of Darrow's case.
 'I hardly see how Kahahawals guilt or innocence in the Massie attack case can be legally injected into this case" he said.
 What changes this may bring to defense tactics was hidden by Dar- row.
 Henry Beckley. former police in- yestigator and more recently a rancher. was Darrow's next target. He drew an admission that while the taIesman had no "opinion" he did have an impression" of the case.
 Darrow threw a pencil to the floor to emphasize his contention that the defense should not be call ed upon to remove an impression

Wednesday morning when the fed- eral agents made their greatest haul in Waterbury, over $10,000 worth of liquors, wines and fake labels and bottle caps. They were obliged to drill their way through a brick wall when their passage was blocked by an immense steel door. Later they burned their way through the doors of -four large safes to obtain more evidence in the form. of liquors and labels. The federal agents have yet to ob- tain sufficient evidence to war rant an arrest, notwithstanding the fact that from the outset they were very confident of apprehend- ing the owner of one or its most prominent directors.
 The emergency squad made ef- forts today to get their man, but he failed to appear. Another ef- fort will be made this afternoon, but regardless of time an arrest will be inevitable, according to the police

T am amazed at the reluctance of congress to resort to beer for revenue purposes. Here are two bodies of great congress faced with a tremendous financial prob- lem. At one stroke they could raise half billion dollars on beer which would be perfectly legal un- der the constitution and at the same time eliminate large part of the taxation burden which otherwise must be imposed.
 Beer offers the most reasonable and equitable means of raising large revenue. It would not take the money from the pockets of the poor or even of the rich. That s500, 100000 would come from the pockets of the bootlegger by di- minishing his business.
 Tt is true that there is but small chance that congress will follow a wise course with respect to beer. But shall not refuse to work for a cause merely for the reason that the fight is just beginning.
 "It would not be necessary to fix any new beer taxes. They are g. holdover at $5 or $6 a barrel from pre-VoIstead days. That rate amounts to about two cents a pint bottle and it would raise $500,000,- 900 for the federal treasury.
 "The amendment I propose to offer merely would change the Volstead act by making it effective only on beverages containing more than four per cent on alcohol"

sThe vets could not get more than 24 votes for their petition and I doubt very seriously whether they can muster that many for a beer tax. Sheppard referred to the senate petition for a vote on the four per cent beer bill which Senator Bingham. republican, Connecticut, introduced before the tax measure came up). Not all of those are in favor of legaliz- ing beer by means of a tax meas ure. The tax itself is unthink- able.
 .There can only be so much employment for every thousand of dollars of capital engaged in in- dustry. The money which would finance the production of beer would be taken from properly pro- ductive capital. In effect. the tax

would be a tax on waste and crime and would create the very waste and crime which it sought to tax. It would be recognition of crime. When you think of the money it would take from the pub- lie to pay this tax, the proposition is even more unthinkable. To raise tax of $200,000,000 you would have to sell $1,000.0O0, ,000 worth of beer, wasteful and in- furious product.
 "The people would have to spend $1, 200, 100000 in order to give the government $200,000,000 in rev. enue. All this money would have to come from sources from which it might otherwise flow into chan nels of constructive production. It would deprive workmen of jobs in other fields to create compar lively few jobs in a wasteful field. There is not enough public senti- ment or political sentiment back of the proposal to give 1t any standing before congress. No, there I will be no beer tax"

GERMAN BOND ISSUES
Reflect TRADE HOPE
Better Position Of Reichsbank Is
Also a Factor in Rise
OF Securities.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 30.-Banking
authorities attribute the recent strength
of German dollar bonds. some of which
are now around 800 per cent above
their lows for the year, to renewal OF
confidence In Germany's economic ana
political position and also to the re-
patriation of considerable amounts OF
German funds from foreign countries.
! While Germany's foreign trade has
not shown any great enthusiasm In past
months. it has at least held its own in
relation to the commerce OF other coun-
tries.
An Improvement In the position Of
the Reichsbank. the national bank Of
Germany has created a brighter out
look. Soviet Russia. In addition. en-
tiers the picture. German credits to
the Soviets. part Of which were guar
anteed BY the Reichsbank, are said TO
amount to more than sl00 900 900.
About half Of these credits mature next
year, and reports from Moscow are that
the Bolsheviks, while hard pressed at
the moment, have arranged to meet OBJ
legations.
German corporation bonds even have
exceeded government issues In their
rallytng powers. The reason, 1t Is said,
is that the government has been per-
mitting some Of the larger companies
to buy their own securities abroad. Op-
erations of this sort have, in many
cases. resulted in large profits. 1t is not
known, however. how long the Reich
will continue to approve these retire.
