Defense Attorney Is Exposer Of COP Trio

'Nr. Mackenzie was J. Henry Roraback's Man Friday, wasn't he?" asked Murray. The witness prac- tically agreed to that characteriza- tion, and also admitted that Mac kenzie was "the echo of Roraback's voice."
 Had Few Failures
 Williamson said it was an "exag- geration" to say that he and Mac kenzie were the state legislature" !" With blunt frankness and no show of emotion he admitted that he and Mackenzie worked together for or against bills, and experienced flew failures.
 Using flowry language, in caus- tic tone of voice, Murray, 8 native of Waterbury, asked, "Now did it ever occur to you that you and Mackenzie were the invisible gov- ernment of the State of Connecti- cut"
 "It never occurred to me-"
 Beat Out Governor
 Williamson admitted that Mac kenzie could get legislation passed which the governor did not want, and could also block legislation which the governor wanted.
 The days proceeding was further highlighted with the mention of the name of former Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven as a lobbyist.
 Incorporated with Attorney Mur- rays denunciation of the Fair Trade Act was the comment that 1t was the most dastardly piece of legisla- tion ever enacted in the state." He referred to it as "created in the crooked brain of Coster-Musica."
 Didn't Know Real Costa Williamson denied that he knew F. Donald Coster,s real identity as Philip Musica, until after the in- vestigators exposed it.
 Links between Williamson, Mac kenzie, Musica and the Fair Trade Bill will be brought to the court house by the defense when they present as a witness George Die trich, alias George Musica, brother of the arch sWindler.
 Were you Charlie Mccarthy to Mackenzie?" asked Murray of Will liamson. The witness denied the implication.
 In the face of the behind-the- scenes direction of legislation by Roraback and Mackenzie, Attorney Murray tried to win from the witt ness that Waterbury's legislative program would have been unsuc- ccssful without the aid of a pow erful lobbyist. Williamson was non- committal on the subject.
 Earned Every Dollar Paid
 His claim, however, was that he earned every dollar that Water bury paid him for lobbying, and that he "came by every dollar hon. estly."
 Williamson said that he had never lifted a finger" to help any bill- board or horse racing bills. Don't you know that Mayor Hayes begged Governor Cross to veto the horse- racing bill?" asked Murray.
 "No, I don't" was the reply.
 Williamson testified that during the past 20 years he has known Mackenzie to hold no jobs but those of prohibition director and labor commissioner.

Attorney Murray cross-examining Charles E. Williamson:
 Reading from the record:
 o. Where did you see him Leary)?
 A. I think that I saw him over the legislature or around the legis- allure.
 o. Was he around the legislature himself?
 A. Not a great deal-no.
 @. Was that when you saw him at the legislature?
 A. That is the first place ever met him in.
 Q. What arrangements did he make?
 A. For that particular money? @. Yes.
 A. Frankly, he was very much in- terested in 1t, and they were having 8 rather rough sledding. He wanted it to go through and finally 1t did get through, and he had agreed to give us this stock for services rend- cred if the bill had gone through ~ and it did go through.
 Were you asked those questions and did you make those answers? A. Yes.
 Record:
 1000 Shares
 @. He agreed to give you 2,000 shares of the stock if it went through?
 A. As at $1.00 share or 2,000 shares-the number of shares sold for $4,O00 less the transcript tax that was paid. After the stock was issued to me, I took 1t to Beach and Com pany where I was told it was on the market aud. directed them to sell. Finally it came through and the check was deposited, and paid $2,OO0 into the office and I gave MT, Mackenzie $2,000.
 @. What men in Waterbury were interested in that Electric Steam Sterilizer Company
 A. They said the mayor was but I don't think the mayor ever talked to me about it.
 o. You don't think the mayor was interested?
 A. don't think the mayor ever talked to me about it.
 e. When you say "the mayor" |. you mean MT. Hayes?
 A, Yes, MT. Frank Hayes.
 Q, He was lieutenant-governor at the time?
 A. Yes,
 e. Presided at the senate pretty regularly?
 A. Yes. I think mostly every day. @. Didn't you contact him or didn't he contact you during the session of the legislature about this particular thing?
 A. Frankly, MT. Alcorn, I don't remember talking to MT. Hayes about the Sterilizer Company.
 Q. Don't you know whether MT Hayes owned a considerable number of shares in that company?
 A. didn't know at the time and l don't know it now. 7. e. Don't you think you talked to him about 1t at all?

Winter Vacation
Phenomenon About
To Go Into High
Closing Of Europe
Centers Attention on
Western Hemisphere

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Changes In
Europe have wrought swift changes
in the travel and recreation indus
try, closing many established rec
reation areas, with the result tina!
250,OOO,OO travel dollars will stay
OH this side of the Atlantic this year
according to Douglas Malcolm, travel
authority. South America, Mexico
the West Indies, Canada and the
United States will all profit by this
reorientation of vacation travel, said
Mr.. Malcolm, adding:
"Our ctstom of taking winter va
cations, a modern phenomenon, by
the way, has grown tremendously
within the last decade and is now
an important factor in our national
economy. Once only delicate peo-
pie went to Florida and California

Many Cruises Offered.
Thirty-six cruises are scheduled
this winter on ships flying neutral
flags to the West Indies, South
America and Hawaii, while SO sail
ings to the West Indies, Mexico and
Panama have been announced by
the Cuban Mail, the Puerto Rico
Line and the Panama Line. Ships
of the following neutral lines plan
to sail on cruises to the West
Indies: The Swedish American Line,
the Holland-America Line, the Ital-
ian Line and the Norwegian
America Line. Schedules, in some
cases, have been announced, while
others are in preparation. Havana,
as usual. will be featured in the
Christmas New Year holiday cruises.
The United Fruit and the Grace
Line continue their West Indies
schedules, with excellent prospects
for the winter season.
Normal conditions prevail among
our island neighbors, Mr.. Malcolm
finds. Steamer SERVES is to be re-
established between Bermuda and
New York, between Nassau and New
York and Nassau and Miami. An
overnight Nassau-Miami steamer
service has been announced and a
daily service by plane has been
promised as well; Jamaica now per-
mits American citizens to remain
four days without passports; Ha-
vana, as the nearest and best-known
neutral port, is counting on record
season, and Puerto Rico, an Ameri-
can possession, is carrying on an
extensive advertising campaign for
winter visitors, reports the survey.
Canada plans to cash in on her
climate. No longer does "Our Lady
of the Shows" deny her heritage, for
cold weather has suddenly become
'big business" Because of her Sc
we're and dependable winters" states
an official bulletin, Canada has be-
come a land of winter sports eagerly
sought by thousands of American
skiers. The tribe of skiers who visit
the Canadian Laurentians has risen
to 10000 in 1888 and promises to
exceed 100000 this year Ski spe-
cials' will run from eastern cities to
Canada"
Resorts in New England and our
own Northwest are also keen for
winter visitors. Shows, and espe-
cially early SHOWS, are now good
news, and low temperatures from
Owls Head compete, in the head
lines, with the high temperatures
from Miami.
The South, the Southwest and
California will receive the larger
share of the winter vacation spend
ing. Florida reports building pro-
gram of tourist hotels on scale
that would only be possible in
Florida. This year the so-called Gin
termediate States" Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Alabama will endeavor to inter-
cept a goodly percentage of the
south-bound traffic and. with true
Southern hospitality, beguile the
wayfarers to tarry beneath their own
vines and fig trees. For entertain
ing Northern guests has become big
business down South-perhaps bet
ter money than raising cotton. North
Carolina has just reported that her
tourist crop, this year, is worth
twice as much as her cotton crop.
The Gulf Coast right through to
Texas will serve as the winter range
for a large share of our migratory
population.

When hexoses are heated with d.

cago Tribune, extensive decomposi-
ton takes place, with the formation
OF caramel and various organic
acids. Similar treatment applied
to pentoses results in the formation
OF q large amount Of furfural, .
clear. water-insoluble liquid with
characteristic pungent odor.
Furfural, different from all other

TIPS to
Gardeners
Plant Seeds Carefully

WHEN vegetable and flower
w seeds purchased from repu-
table firms do not terminate as
they should, it is safe to assume
that conditions are not favorable
for growth, or that seeds were not
planted properly.
Therefore, it is Of greatest i'm
portance to plant seeds according
to directions on the packets. Ex-
tremely small seeds must be COW
cred only lightly with soil, accord
ing to Harold N. Coulter, vegeta-
bic expert.
The will to grow is strong in
seeds, but they have their limita-
tons. To plant a tiny seed, like
the petunia, under an inch of soil
is like burying man under a 20
story building and asking him to
push it away.
Heavier, larger seeds, of course,
may be planted deeper. Beans
and cucumbers may be covered
with three-quarters of an inch to
a full inch of soil. Peas and corn
sprout vigorously and may be
planted from an inch to an inch
and one-haf deep.
Many successful home garden
ers actually cover peas and corn
with an extra half-inch of soil aft
er they begin to push through.
This protects them from birds,
3 and also helps keep weeds down.
