WELLS GETSO.K.
ON CAMP A|GN'

District officials apparently do
not intend to disturb the activi-
ties of Francis A. Wells, colored
clerk in the municipal service, in
behalf of the Hoover-Curtis cam
paign among colored residents Of
the Distrit. C
who, in the absence Of DR.. Luther
H. Reichelderfer, is president of
: the Board of District Commits
sioners, said today that no COM
plant against Wells activities
had been made to him. He
viewed the entire affair as humor-
Gus.
. Wells, who is chairman of the
SHoover-Curtis Campaign League,
:. is employed in the office Of
Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the
. Board of Commissioners. He at
? tended the Republican convention
in Chicago. He is now on leave
from his duties until early in No
vember to campaign for the Re
publican candidates.
Mr.. Garges said he knew of
no violation of a governmental
regulation involved in Wells con
= duct. He has received no com
plant of Wells activities. Re
garding an incident four years
: ago when a clerk in the Traffic
Bureau was discharged in mat
ter involving activities in behalf
of former Governor Alfred E
: Smith, Mr.. GargeS said the dis
: missal was not based upon his
political activities, but upon his re
: fusal to obey an order Of 1nSpec
tor Ernest w. Brown, OF the
bureau.
The Civil Service Commission
has authority in appointing EN-
>ployes of the District of Column
bia and in some other phases,
J.: but has no authority to prevent
them from taking part in politi-
cal activities. Miss Jessie Dell,
member of the commission, stated
The political ban enforced by
!. the commission on all civil ser
vice classified employees does not
apply to municipal employees, she
said, commenting on the case

Queen ToubOu
Plans Long
Sea Hop

LONDON, Sept. % U.N.SO.
The agent of Queen Salote Tou-
bou, ruler of the Friendly ISL
ands and strongest personality
in the South Seas, was in Lon
don today mapping out a route
over which her majesty will fly
to England in her own sea-
plane.
The trip, to be undertaken
soon, will be the most hazard
GUS ever made by a native
queen of the dark races.
Queen Toubou, six feet tall
and every inch modern, rules
her 10000 subjects with a hand
of iron. Her word is law in her
little kingdom, situated off the
Fiji Islands to the east of
Java.
The Friendly Islands, a Brit
ish possession, are perhaps the
only spot in the world where
unemployment is unknown. BY
royal command every subject
has an allotment of land to
cultivate.

He said he also discussed print
ing of the tickets with Raymond
Walsh, of Philadelphia, aide to
Mcclure.
The solicitor testified that his
company printed the tickets for
the 1880 charity ball.
Some hooks had II tickets and
others had 40 tickets, each
ticket to be sold for soc.
$13,1O4,23O "Value"
There were 26,208,46O tickets
printed. If all were sold at so
cents apiece they would have
brought $13,1O4,23O.
The witness said he had re-
ceived other printing jobs from

The Government is attempting
to show that 100000 from the
proceeds of the 100000 Moose
charity balls, alleged to have been
lotteries, passed into the personal
accounts of the former Secretary
of Labor.
To Be Fully Explained
However, Margiotti, chief coun.
sci for Davis, said the tranSac-
tions introduced by the prosecu-
ton will be fully explained
when the defendant presents his
side of the case.
Through Melvin Carnahan,
auditor of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, of Pittsburgh, the Govern
ment has introduced the follow
ing purported transactions:
In 1927, Mrs. Jean r. Davis,
wife of the Senator, obtained q
note for $15O,000 on collateral of
numerous securities in her hus-
bands name.
October l, 1880, there was a
balance due on her note of $127,-
418.50, plus interest of $658.32.
Note Cut 100000
On that date, her note was paid
through a check drawn from the
account of the organization de-
partment" of the Moose.
The account in the organization
departments name was previously
credited with $150,00O, through a
loan for which Senator Davis in
dorSed the note.
Then, January 9, 1881, shortly
after the drawings were made
for the prizes given in connection
with the 1880 charity ball, accord-
ing to the government, 100000
was applied against the note
endorsed by Davis, reducing it
to $4,000.
The 100000 payment was
made through three checks, $780,
900, $4,000, and $4,000, from
Fred w. Jones, treasurer of the
organization department The
government charges Jones was
financial agent" for Davis and
that the money represented by
the checks was from the profits

ball.

SYNDICATE
Millions of Dollars Involved
In Jersey Conspiracy, Says
New York Journal

NEW YORK, Sept. %
GN.S. New Jersey banks
and a gigantic rum syndicate
were linked by the Govern
ment in an exposure of an
amazing conspiracy involving
millions of dollars, according
to a copyright story printed
today by the New York Eve
ming journal. The Journal
story said:
Junior officials Of the
banks, scores of racketeerS, pO-
lice, and other public officials
face Federal action as the zero
hour nears in a twO-year inves-
tigatiOn by Department of JUS
tice agents working out of the
New York office of HOrance ].
Simmons, chief special agent.
Smashed By Lone Wolf"
To-day the ring is virtually
smashed through the lone
wolf activities Of Joseph A.
Frayne, assistant to Simmons,
who hc raided all the stills
seized SO far in the Govern
ment's war on the ring, headed
by the powerful and wealthy
Wake Gordon.
But the ramificatiOnS Of the
syndicate, involving the banks
and the higher-upS of official
dom, form the most astounding
part of this dramatic drive.
"The entire inquiry was
brought to a head through the
surrender of Edward ]. Moi
felt, former secretary and treas
urer of the Central Bank and
Trust Company, Newark, last
Saturday to answer charges Of
embc ;ment.
EVIDENCE CORROBORATED
Through MOffett and other
witnesses, the Government
agents have obtained cOrrObO-
ration Of much of their evil
dence which, the Evening Jour
nal learns exclusively, will
show, among other things:
"That MOffett master minded
the intricate juggling of the
rings finances, handling over
100000.
"That a friend of a Newark
official collected $4,000 to SILL
500 from MOffett every week,
this money being spent for
Official protection of the syn
dictate.
"That the rings huge income
was banked by MOffett under
Is fictitious accounts, with
daily deposits running as high
as $4,000.
HAD ELABORATE SYSTEM
"That junior officers of vari-
Gus New Jersey banks were in
duced by the bOOtleggerS to
issue false letters of credit to
legitimate concerns.
"That the ring, manufacture
ing alcohol, had an elaborate
shipping arrangement whereby
the large" cities, from Boston
to Los Angeles, were flooded
with its product.
"MOffett has admitted to
Department of Justice agents,
it is said, that he handled 3d.
100000 of the syndicate'S &C
counts, giving as for rPa~"n
that it was business for the
bank
"The ring, it is known, kept
a cash balance in the bank
of $4,000"

tfirst this condition was regarded as

Later, however, experiments
pointed to the cause Of this type
Of edema as a lack of protein and

lack of vitamlns. Diets poor In
proteins, but otherwise satisfac-
tory, tend to develop manifesto
lions of edema. In cases not COM
plicated by other considerations
relief Is secured by experimenting
the diet with protein.
According to observations made
on patients In the Peiping Union
