A large crowd waited all day outside the prison for the an- nouncement that the fast had end- ed. The break came an hour after the attitude of the British govern ment had been communicated to him in a long cablegram.

Government Rests
 Case Against Davis
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Cont1nued rom Page l.) to Bernard c. McGuire, who the government contended acted as promoter of the charity ball enter prises; and Jacob Heffler, depart ment of justice investigator.
 Heffler identified checks and vouchers issue for travelling ex- penses for Donald F. Steward, editor of the Moose magazine.
 The third witness was Morris Kaplan, a Western Union company employe, who identified letter he delivered to Mcclure. The letter confirmed an agreement to deliver 50,0O0 small packages for McGuire from the Western Union offices to local Moose lodges throughout the country.
 The government then rested and Charles H. Futile, of defense coun- sel, asked for time to determine whether he would move for dismiss sal.
 Davis appeared to be surprised by the governments action. He smiled broadly.
 After a brief conference, the de- fense decided to move for a direct ed verdict of acquittal on the ground the government failed tc present a case against Davis. Jo. seph E. Davies, Washington at- torney, of the defense staff, was chosen to present the motion.
 Judge Coleman decided the mo- tion would be argued during the luncheon recess.
 The defense, however, immedi- ately began presentation of its case, calling Fred w. Jones, the financial agent of Senator Davis, as it's first witness.
 Margiottf brought out that prior to September 1, 1880, Joseph A. Jenkins was director general of the Moose in Great Britain, holding a contract with the grand lodge of that county, similar to that held by Davis in this country.
 The defense then produced a cablegram sent by Jones to Jenkins in England asking the latter to come to this country to aid him in the work of the organization de- partment.
 Jones said he sent the cable gram at the request of Davis.
 Jenkins, he said, came to the United States in the fall of 1850. Jones said he saw Jenkins at a meeting of the supreme council of the supreme lodge at Sharon, Pa, shortly afterwards.
 Jones, slightly hard of hearing, gray-haired and dressed in a gray business suit, told of meeting Davis in a tin mill in which they were both employed.
 Jones told how he (Jones) took charge of Davis office when the defendant became secretary of la bor in President Harding's cab inet.
 The late John w. Ford of Phil adelphia, he said, helped operate the organization department, of the Moose-Davis' agency which he operated under a contract with the order.
 Jones said that when Ford died in 1924, he {Jones) assumed the title of assistant director general and later called himself director of organization. He explained that the organization department is not unit of Moose but has a con- tractural relationship with it.
 "Who was the organization de- partment until or about Septem- Der 1, 1930?" Charles J. Margiot- ti, defense counsel, asked.
 James J. Davis," Jones replied.
 Then Margiotti had the witness explain how the department func- toned in it's work of building up the Moose membership.

FAMOUS STARS AT NEW GARDEN TODAY
 AND TOMORROW

Last showings today at the New Garden theater of "Jewel Rob- bery' with Kay Francis and Will liam Powell and war Correspond ent" with Jack Holt, Ralph Graves and Lila Lee. Also supporting fea- turettes. Coming tomorrow for two days is "Red Headed Woman" with Jean Harlow and Chester Morris. Transferring novel so sensational and so widely-read as Katharine Brush's Red Headed Woman" to the screen was some thing of a challenge to the talkies. But the feat has been accomplish ed in a highly workmanlike man. ner in the film version which will be shown at New Garden tomor- row and Wednesday.
 As surprising as the story itself is the appearance in the title role of Jean Harlow. Miss Harlow has never before had a role which irn- poses 50 stern a requirement on her acting ability, and she meets the test with flying colors. Those who recall her previous efforts will find a new Jean Harlow in the "Lil Andrews" of the Katharine Brush tale. Tn voice and gesture and boise she has gained considerably doubtlessly through the realization that she plays role which every actress was said to covet.
 The companion feature Is "The Army of the Law" with Rex Bell, Marceline Day, and Lima Basquette heading a powerful cast. If you like thrills, chills, mystery and ac- ton, set off by bowling comedy then don't mass, Monographs "The Army of the Law" which is the companion feature.

lick by chopping out a 400 set to
win the Silver Spring stakes, with

chance with the big boys" in
the Dixie, knocked off a set in
open matches which would put
him a mile ahead of any field
recently. The Chief hitched up
games of 153, 164, 129, las and

They journeyed over to the
Governments experimental farm
at Arlington, Va, to test the
green's and fairways grown under
the supervision of DR.. John Mon
tieth. Funds for this work are
furnished by the United States
Golf Association.
In a test of the various putting
greens. the golfers voted the velvet
bent type most. suitable. Those
who tried their putterS on the diff
ferent greens were Billy Burke,
Johnny Farrell, Willie MacFar-
lane, Horton Smith, Witty Cox,
Johnny Golden and Tom Kerri-
gan.
These pros found the velvet
bent neither too fast nor too slow,
provided a fine putting surface,
and the balls held the line of putt.
The grass selected by a group of
well-known golfers, was started in
1926 from a stand grown from
German mixed bent planted at
Arlington in 1916.
The turf obtained in 1927 from
stolenS produced in the nursery
from this strain has attracted
favorable attention except in 1880
when the drought harmed it.
