BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

With the case of Harry T. Whelan
and William B. O'Connell, attorneys
charged with contempt in the War
ring jury tampering scandal, unde-
clded, Justice Bolitha j. Laws re-
cessed court for the day after a ses-
sion during which Deputy United
States Marshal John B. Upperman
admitted he had played the races
and the numbers regularly while he
was a court officer.
The name Of J. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, was brought into the
case when William H. F. Swain and
Frank A. Dawson. special agents of
the intelligence unit, Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, said Mr. O'Connell told
them the night the first Warning
jury went out that the head Oman
had said to Fmmitt Warning in a
restaurant, Il wish you luck
This alleged conversation was de-
MED on the witness stand by both
Mr. O'Connen and Emmitt War;
ring, who said no such remark was
made by Mr.. Hoover nor did they
report it. Later John R. Cox, chief
intelligence agent. testified that he
got in touch with Mr.. Hoover at
the time and the F. B. I. chief told
him that he did not even know
Emmitt Warning or Mr.. O'Connell
and that he was out of town at
the time of the alleged occurrence.
Mr.. Hoover today told The Star
the incident never occurred. It's
an absolute lie he said.
Overnight developments in the
case were:
l. United States Marshal John B.
Colpoys announced the suspension
OF two more deputies, this time for
allegedly suppressing evidence bear
ing on phase of the intricate case.
Three Face Sentencing Tuesday.
2. The court planned Tuesday to
sentence Upperman Emmitt War;
ring and Harry Fine, who have
pleaded guilty to contempt charges
for playing their confessed roles in
the jury -tampering plot.
3. Legal questions involved in the
cases of two other contempt Defend
ants were still before Justice Laws.
Marshal Colpoys, who yesterday
forced the designations of three
deputies, announced the fresh sus-
pensions after midnight confer
ence with United States Attorney
David A. Pine, following a night
session of the contempt hearings in
District Court.
The new victims of the marshals
AK were Deputies Harry D. Allen
and Thomas R. East, who took Mr..
Pine completely by surprise when
they testified yesterday at the hear
ing on contempt charges against
Mr.. Whelan and Mr.. O'Connell.
The two deputies described a S1OO
bill which, they said, Deputy Upper
man, who was jury custodian at the
two Warning trials, flashed a few
days before Christmas, describing it
as a gift from his son. This testi-
mony tended to contradict Upper
mans version, which was that the
only 500 bill he had was one his
wife had received from their son on
December 2 and he deposited in
bank at once.
Upperman's gambling habits were
brought into the case today when
the suspended Deputy Marshal East
was recalled to the stand to give
further details concerning this s10O
bill. East explained today that he
had thought nothing at the time of

PARIS, Feb. l8.-France made her
first major move today in the dispute
with Italy over the East African
possession of Somaliland by reoc-
cupying 1871 miles of coast line and
800 square kilometers (3O8.8 square
miles) of hinterland ceded to Italy
in 1895.
Fixed garrisons were established
at vital points in the territory which
is between French Somaliland and
Italian Eritrea. There was no oppo-
sition because Italy never moved In
troops to take over the area.
Faces Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
The zone, which lies north of
Djibouti, runs from der Eloua north
to Ras Doumeira and extends inland
to Daadato on the Vienna River.
1t faces directly on the Strait of
Bab-el-Mandeb, the strategic, mar
row passageway through which ship
ping must go between the Red Sea
and the Gulf of Alden.
French maintained today's occu-
patton merely replaced with fixed
garrisons French mobile units which
already had been patrolling the zone.
They said Italy had forfeited the
right to the territory by failing to
occupy it and by the December %
denunciation of the January Z, 1895,
pact which gave the zone to Italy.
Part of Djibouti Hinterland.
The area occupied, like the most
of French Somaliland. is arid terri
tory but it constitutes an important
part of the Hinterland of Djibouti,
French Somaliland port and costal
terminus of the Djibouti-
Ababa railway.
Djibouti is important to the
French as a stopping point for
shipping en- route to the French
possessions of Madagascar and In
do China.
French also say they must have
sufficiently large hinterland to keep
adequate survey over roaving tribes
OF natives, often warlike, which
otherwise could menace Djibouti.
The position Of the strip of coast
line on the narrow strait, however,
generally was considered to be the
principal reason for the occupation.

Black Walnut Is
Profitable Tree
For Wood Sales

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. II.
Most valuable Of ABOUT go species
Of commercial tirnoer-producing
.rees in the United States is the
.amiliar black walnut tree which
grows singly or in small scattered
stands throughout North Carolina,
e. w. Graeber, State College Ex-
tension Service forester, said to-
day.
In the most recent report On
s,umpage and log prices compiled
by the u S. Forest Service, it was
found that black walnut lumber
old as high as 1920 per thousand
board feet. Such a price, Graeber
aid, explains why some large black
walnut trees bring several hundred
',ollars '.acn.
Although the durability and
beauty of the wood creates a grea
;emand for black walnut, the az
ual amount of the wood in the tim
GER trade is comparatively small.
Then, too, its relative scarcity trends
10 keep the price high. In pioneer
days, farmers Of the Middle West
Used walnut for fence posts 3yid

Graeber said black walnut can
be planted, protected, and harvested
as a substantial supplemental farm
crop.

safety patrols will be formed in
more than 1000 Carolina school sys-
TENS for the purpose Of directing
traffic in school sectors, guiding pu-
pills past dangerous intersections and
similar protective services, the man
ager declared.
