TESTIMONY is
STRICKEN OUT
Sheriff's Widow Furnishes
Interest at Trial Of
Mmcie Preacher

MUNCIE, Ind, March 81
.fUP): "A high church official
and two women neighbors of
Helen Huffman's family testified
Yesterday at the trial OF the Rev:
G. Lemuel Conway on charges OF
trying to attack Miss Huffman.
The church official, District Sup
erintendent Frank Daugherty, APP
reared for the state while the
neighbors, Mrs. Harriet Perdlue
and Miss Emma Kiger, sisters,
defended the minister.
The. most exciting moment OF
the days session came as night
fell and Mrs. Perdiue, widow OF
a former sheriff, volunteered the
testimony that this was not the
first time Miss Huffman had &C
cused a man of trying to attack
her. The first time, Mrs. Per-
due said, Miss Huffman accused
a choir leader; the second time
it was a newspaper reporter, and
the third time it was one OF the
towns leading preachers.
Persons in the packed court
room cheered as Mrs. Perdiue in
sisted upon making the accusa-
ton despite the fact it was
stricken from the official record.
I: Miss Kiker, who lives with her
sister next door to the Huffmans,
testified that Conway's congre-
CATION did not like him because
his five daughters did all the
singing at the church"
Deputy Prosecutor Orin Reac-
chi interrupted to ask if Conway
"didn't throw one man out OF the
church for trying to sing"
He referred to choir leader
Willard Aurand, who has charg-
ed in another indictment that the
minister knocked him over a
chancel rail.
Daugherty, the principal state
witness of the day, testified that
Conway had offered to "leave
town" if the church would not
take action against him. The
superintendent said he refused.
Conway recently was tried by a
jury of clergymen and was sus-
pended for one year as pastor of
the Madison street Methodist
Episcopal church.
Conway is expected to testify
today. He claims he was miles
away at the hour Miss Huffman
charges he was trying to "teach
her the facts about life" in a
parked automobile on a lonely
road three miles from the city.
The girl, who taught Sunday
school class in Conway's church,
testified. She accused the preach
Ell of making advances and said
he threatened to "stick her head
in the mud' if she told on him.

HOOVER ADVISERS STUDY FARM
 PLAN.

Two leading economic advisers of the Hoover Administration, financed by Rockefeller Founda- tion money are putting President Roosevelts farm polices under the miscroscope of scientific ob- servation Under auspices of the Brookings Insti- tution Dr. John D. Black and Dr. Joseph F. Davis former number one economists for the old Farm Board have begun survey of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the ramifcations ot the Presidents farm program.
 With Dr. E. G. Nourse of the Brookings staft they form a board of survey planning to establSn branch offices throughout the country. Results of the study are of course problematical but the Ad- mnistration is regarding establishment Of an "op- position brain trust with slightly suspicious eyes Institution officials said the Rockefeller Foundation had made $1O0O00 available for the farm study in an outright grant.
 Results of the farm study if hostile. or critlcal of the Roosevelt policies-and Hoover Stalwarts form majority of the board-might bring to light some potent arguments for use in the 1854 elections.
 Some politically minded Democrats are not over- looking such possibility Without much effort they can visualize Republican campaigners flooding the Midwest with damaging arguments in the next Con- gressional election.

TWO GOOD APPOINTMENTS.

Tn annointing Thomas Gaffney of Nome to be United States Marshal for the Second Dvlsion ana I w Kehoe of Ketchikan to be United States Attorney for the Third Division, President Roosevelt has made no mistake. Both men are or hgh caljber good character and have the ability to make good in their respective offices
 MT Gaffney is a pioneer of the Second Division. He not only knows the entire Division in which he citizen. real man and genuine Alaskan. He is a lifelong Democrat and has been one of the acuVe leaders of that party in the Territory for many years.
 MT Kehoe's residence in Alaska has not pen so long as MT Gaffneys but is runs back some 10 years He has lived all of that time in the F1rs5 Division at Haines Juneau and Ketchikan. He is one of the leading lawyers of Ketchkan and is well equipped to fill his new office. As a member of the Territorial House of Representatives last Spring he earned among his colleagues the reputa- tion of being one of the abest members of that body While not always a Democrat, he has taken an active part in party affairs since he affiliated with it some two years ago. He nominated by Il fop the Legislature and elected last Fall His ap- pointment like that of MT. Gaffney, was made wtf the endorsement of the Democratic Territorial ane Divisional organizations and is highly pleasing to them. Ts
 These appointments leave six major offices re- maining to be filled by the Administration-Unitec States District Judge and United States Attorney in the Second Division; Unted States District Judge and United States Marshal in the Third Division United States District Judge in the Fourth Division and United States Marshal in the First Division

Sparm, she blowsl" And now, according to the most recent statistics of the Department of Com merce's Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat h. spection, their foresight has been justified for there only fourteen whalers left out of United States ports. All of these but one hail from San Francisco and Seattle. Neither New Bedford nor Nantucket claim single survivor of the hum dreds of sail and steam whalers of last century, and so, says the bureaus report closes important and vivid chapter in the history of the merchant fleet of the United States
 There few enough oldsters today who can recall personally the importance and significance of the whale oil trade in vanished era, but here and there find a grzzled veteran who re- members the time when coal oil considered la dangerous and explosive fuel in thousands of homes and whale oil only burned in pewter lamps boasting two little circular wicks which must be nicely adjusted if they were not to smoke. That the domestic and economic side; the romance and glamour and hardships of whaling have been preserved in log books and stories, the most notable of which is of course, the saga of the great white whale While whaling industry. however, has declined in the United States in tdln OIneT COuutrleS nOtdply JdpdI NOrWdy anu England, modern facilities for killing the leviathan the deep and refining his products have of recent years increased enormously In 1882 the United States, in common with these other countries, signed agreement at Geneva for the regulation of whale fishery but today 60 per cent of the worlds total whale oil production is estimated to come from Norway, followed by England with 30 per cent With the United States longer dom- inant factor in a once tremendous industry, only Ia single whaler today plies from the port of New York to the waste waters of Antarctca Fortunate New Bedford is becoming great textile city the whalers declined, and Nantucket one of the most charming of summer resorts of all the fine New England coast!

POWDER TO RIP DOWN HUGE BLUFF
 ON ALASKA R. R.
Anchorage Times)

Four hundred cases of dynamite
 will be used within the next few days to break down huge section of rock along a bluff about 8 mile south of Curry. It is estimated 25,O00 cubic yards of the bluff will be shattered and rattled down from the age-old mountain side The news is brought by Anton Anderson, Roadmaster for the North Division of the Alaska Rail- road, who arrived in the city today by train from Curry, and left on the return trip this afternoon with his speeder, which was overhauled here.
 The big rock breakage is being made, explained MT. Anderson, to get material for rip-raping along the roadbed of the railway where the river cuts in at various stretch es. The rock from the bluff near Curry is of the peculiar forma- tion that best resists erosion and disintegration under effect of the elements.

BEER DRINKING.

In the first 16 weeks of beers return as a legal beverage, the people of the United States consumed about 36 eight-ounce glasses of it for every man, woman and child in the country. Figures vouched for by the United States Brewers Association showed that up to July 30 Americans had swallowed total of 4,344 220960 eight glasses For the month of July alone the total ,688 glasses. It has often been said that Americans not beer drinkers If they not, these figures indicate they are well along the road to becoming such.
 New York State led in consumption with 1,489, ,158 barrels up to June 30 and 588599 barrels during the month of June. Wisconsin, with much smaller population, used 998951 barrels between April and June 30 and it's June consumption reached the respectable figure of 1864 barrels
 From the date of legalizaton to the end of June, the g States in which sale of beer was permissible had received s5,8O32O9 in various forms of resulting from the return of the beverage

STORM CENTER

When it became noised about that brewing permits had been is- sued to Eastern gangsters, the hur- ricane broke around his head Things were further complicated when it became known that he had shifted a Pacific Coast ad- ministrator without fore knowledge of the Attorney-General.
 Dalrymple became irritated at what he termed slight criticisms of his office In a turbulent press conference he dictated a statement that fairly bristled. Then, flatly declining to answer any questions about his actions since he had been director, he pounded his desk and refused to say anything fur their

MULTIPLYING RUMoRs

Immediately rumors that Dal- rymple's days as Prohibition Di- rector were numbered, began to spread. It was also hinted that he and Senator McAdoo of Cali fornia, who had advocated his ap- pointment, had come to a parting of the ways.
 Speculation as to how long he would remain in office was in- creased by his appearance before the Ways and Means Committee of the House in support of bill that would legalize Il per cent wine, while at the same time he express ed his opposition to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.

 General Cummings wrote him:
 Tn certain quarters, I under stand, it is said there has been constant friction between us. from the time of your appointment, and that I have been irritated by the manner in which you have dis charged your duties.
 Nothing, of course. could be further from the truth"
 Perhaps no other appointment in the new administration was the storm center as that of Major Dal- rymple. His career as Prohibition Director here was brief but viv- i'd.
 He had been in office only three weeks before he was the center of a controversy.
