GUNS, ADHESIVE
TAPE AND ROPE
SHOWN JURY
County Police Officer Who
Stopped Car Identifies
. GangSterS at Trial

ST. PAUL, Nov. IS QN.S0.
Three revolvers. Two automatic
pistols. A rifle. Adhesive tape.
Fine-spun rope. Surgical gauze.
These were some of the memen-
toes exhibited to the jury today as
the Federal Government tried to
clinch its case against Roger
Touhy and his three associates on
trial here for the kidnapping OF
William Hamn, jr.
The arsenal and the parapher-
MALTA that might well be part of a
kidnaper'S kit were brought into
evidence by Assistant District At
torney George A. Kelsey, as the
country policeman who arrested
the four defendants in Elkhorn,
Wis, testified to finding the arma-
ment in the Touhy car.
Even if the prosecutions case
had been weak up to this point,
the display of this deadly collec-
tion is counted upon by the Gov
ernment to leave lasting impres-
sion on the jury of 10 men and
two women, mostly farm people,
who are trying the terrible
TouhyS."
Policeman TeStifieS
The witness who identified the
hoodlums' playthings was Police
man Harry Ward of Elkhorn.
Ward first told the story Of watch
ing for an automobile which was
reported to have knocked down a
telephone pole entering Elkhorn
on the night of July 15-a month
after the Hamm kidnapping, and
of halting the Touhy sedan.
He identified Touhy as the
driver of the machine, Willie
Sharkey as his companion in the
front seat, and Eddie McFadden,
Gus Schaefer and one other man
as occupants of the rear seat.
The fifth man escaped when the
policeman took the crowd into
Elkhorn. The other four are on
trial.
Factor May Testify
It was still a moot point this
morning whether or not the Gov
ernment would be allowed to call
John Factor as a witness. Factor
is here from Chicago, heavily
guarded and his whereabouts kept
q secret. He was in court yester-
day, but was not there this morn
ing.
Defense contends that Factors
Identification of the four defend
ants as the men who kidnaper
him July / is not admissible into
evidence because it deals with an
occurance that followed the crime
for which the Touhys are now be-
ing tried.

POSTAL INCOME
OFF ONE-7H|RD

Postal receipts have fallen off
nearly one-third since 1880, ii
was declared by Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley in a radio appeal to-
day for wider use of the postal
service.
In a 15-minute talk in which
he outlined developments in the
postal service during its zoo
years of existence, he said:
"There is just one thing
wrong with our service today,
people do not use it enough.
In the fiscal year 1880 the
postal revenues were $7O5,OOO,-
900, compared to $5S7, ,OOO, 900
for the last fiscal year. This
alarming reduction has Oc.
Cured despite the higher rates
in postage"
He pointed out that nearly
SITS, 100000 has been cut from
the departments expenditures,
but that no further reduction
can be made and still maintain
the standard Of service.
Re also urged early mailing of
Christmas greetings and gifts,
and warned against improper
packing and addressing.

FEAST OF LIGHTS.
TO Be PRESENTED
Silent Assembling of Congre-
cation Feature at Rock
Creek Church.

The Feast of Lights" will be cele-
brated in commemoration of the Epiph-
any tomorrow at 8 pm, in Rock Creek
Episcopal Church. The clergy in the
chancel during the service will be
Canon Joseph Fletcher of Washington
Cathedral. rector emeritus of Rock
Greek Parish; DR.. Franklin ]. Bohanan,
rector of the parish, and Rev. w. L.
Mayo and Rev. C. S. Ridenour, assist
ants to the rector.
The service begins with the silent as
sembling of the congregation, choir and
clergy in the darkened church. The
dim light from the Old Testament
prophecies is typified by the Pickering
flame of small candle. which appears
in the chancel while the rector reads
the passages from which the prophecies
are taken AS the various prophecies
are read the several characters therein
are depicted by the lighting of the can
dies on the ne-branched candelabra.
Then are mentioned the seven spirits of
God and as each one is named a candle
on the seven -branched candelabra is
lighted.
The service progresses from the Old
to the New Testament. After the cpl
sode of the annunciation is read the
CUolT SlflsS the MdgnlllCdJ, ana JIle
'Nunc DimittiS" is also sung after
reading of the account of the circum-
cision. Then the two eucharistic can
dies are lighted from the Old Testa-
ment candle, during which the events
connected with the holy nativity are
depicted Then there is presented in
pageantry the coming Of the wise men,
who sing in solo and chorus We Three
Kings
The action rapidly moves to the latter
part of the earthly life of Christ, with
especial emphasis on the calling OF the
II apostles and the appearance Of the
Apostle Paul. As each apostle is called
by name his candle is lighted from the
eucharistic candles, a noticeable break
being that Judas Iscarot deliberately
extinguishes his candle and leaves his
brethren.
The great commission is read and the
apostles, after filling the breach caused
by the apostasy of Judas, the betrayer,
descend from the Chancel and with the
flames Of their candles light those in
the hands Of the congregation and the
darkness of the church is baniShed by
the light of the myriad candles The
service closes with the apostles leading
the members of the congregation into
the darkness of the outside world, each
person nth his candle lighted in typifi-
cation Ci personal Christian service.
