Washington, Nov. 1^(U.P.)—Information alleged to in
volve a number of nationally prominent men and women in
arge liquor transactions was before the Justice department
coday, the United Press learned authoritatively
Thecase closely interlocks with the Government's New
ioik indictment against Count Polignac, head of the Go-Bart
Company and representative of a foreign champagne compa
ny on a charge of conspiracy to violate the dry lawand of al

smuggling of liquor.
It was also understood de
tails in thç case had been sent
to the White House.
The case involves the oper
ations of an alleged bootleg
ring, its customers, and the
activities of federal officers.
The Justice department has re
ceived from the Prohibition Bu
reau data that a prominent New
York business man had a bootleg
ring smuggle 245 cases of liquor
from abroad to his suburban
täte. Later the man, after dry
agents learned of his cache,
rendered the liquor and it is now
stored at the army base in New
York.
This information, together with
data that a prominent moving pic
ture star, a former diplomat, and
several nationally prominent wo
men, were the "best customers" of
the bootleg ring has been turned
over to U. S, District Attorney
Tuttle at New York.

Meantime an investigation has
started to learn whether prohibi

they were acting as under-cover

Washington, Nov. 10.—(U.P.)— I
Sale of hip flasks, cocktail shakers
and other accessories to the flow
ing Christmas bowls is frowned
upon by federal prohibition offi
cials, but there is little they can
do about it.
Judge James J. Britt, chief coun
sel of the prohibition bureau, ex
plained today that while the law
authorizes prosecution of any store
or persons dispensing articles in
tended for use in consumption of
alcoholic liquors, it is necessary to
prove intent.
"We will prosecute," Judge Britt
said, "whenever we find a store
displaying or selling such things
with the bovious intention that
they shall be used in connection
with imbibing of intoxicating li
quors.
"The bureau has never encour
aged such displays, but, owing to
the difficulty of proving intent in
court there have been few prosecu
tions along this line. Several ho
tels and restaurants have been suc
cessfully prosecuted for sale of
'set-ups' for use in dinking liquor."

LIVESTOCK CONFAB
HERE YESTERDAY
A number of livestock men of
this county attended the confer
ence held at the Oounty Extension
office yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing the livestock
problems. The principles and
practices that have been used on
a great many farms throughout
the county were presented and the
methods that seemed to give the
best economical returns were
drafted into a set of recommenda
tions that will be presented to the
people of the county as a basis of
carrying on livestock production.
Considerable time was spent in
discussing the beef, dairy and hog
project work. It was the consen
sus of opinion that more and bet
ter livestock should be grown in
the oounty as a source of reserve
so that during years of drought or
other hazards that the farmer
could market some livestock, and
in that way be in a position to
take care of their financial obli
gations at the end of the season.
All present at the meeting felt
that the first requisite of live
stock production was the produc
tion of feed and forage crops as
thev were very essential in profi
table livestock production.

Dr. C. M, Hall and Rube
Jorgensen Shake; Now
l hey Are Pals Again
The sequel to the Dr. Hall
Jorgensen clash related last
week in this paper took place
as scheduled in the mag
istrate's court to the satisfac
tion of everybody concerned.
What came before is as fol
lows. While Dr. C. M. Hall
was on his way to a confine
w ent . case a week a &o last *
Monday he was arrested for
speeding by Rube Jorgensen
of the city police. After at
tending to his professional
duty, Dr. Hall in due time ap
peared before Justice Wheeler
and pleaded not guilty.
When his trial came up be
fore the magistrate the doctor
stated that he was on his way
to a confinement case and was
in a hurry, the call being an
urgent one as the woman was
bleeding. In such an emergen
cy Dr. Hall declared, the
common law of humanity held
precedence over all human
laws and to save a human life
he was willing to smash all
the rules and regulations in
Plentywood.
Justice Wheeler expressed
regret that Rube Jorgensen
considered himself obligated
to enforce the letter of the
law under the circumstances.
He stated that he was very
sorry that the disagreeable in
cident occurred saying that
while he was punctilious to a
fault in the matter of law en
forcement he felt that ordin
ary discretion should be
ex
ercised by police officers in
such emergencies. An orgy of
handshaking ended the pro
'-««"Hues. The judge shook
hands witn tKo doctor, Xh©
Doctor shook hands with
the judge and both shook
hands with Rube Jorgensen.
Whereupon Rube and Dr. Hall
bid adieu to Justice Wheeler
and left the court arm in arm,
commenting jovially on the
ways of this great frontier
town and vowing that as far
as they were concerned the
amenities of civilization would
prevail over the few surviv
ing throwbacks from
swashbuckling days of yore.

CALL NOW ON
TO THE PUBLIC.
The recent Wibaux flood disas

need to keep our Red Cross orga
nization, so that, in case of emer
gency, we can immediately call
upon the Mother Organization.
And, while no one expects a great
return from this Roll Call we ex
pect Red Cross support, just in the
same way as we expect a man to
pay for his insurance, to support
his schools and his church, and to
help his neighbors in their mis
fortunes. Nearly everyone will
be willing to pay one dollar for a
Red Cross membership. Here are
the supplies, including member
ship buttons and receipts. Please
give every good citizen a chance
to keep up his membership in this
benevolent organization, which, no
one knows when, or just how, will
return every penny to him eventu
ally.

RUSS RECOGNITION LOOMS AS
U. S. VISAS KAROLYI'S VISIT
• - ---
Washington, Nov. 11.—Recogni
tion of Soviet Russia by the Unit
ed States looms as a dominant is
SU e following the decision of the
State Department to admit Count
and Countess Karolyi to the Unit
e d States.
i The question of Russian recog
j nition and agitation over the ex
elusion of the Hungarian radical
leaders had bene linked by former
Secretaries of State Hughes and
Kellogg as similar manifestations
!
of Communist propaganda.
It is now believed that Secretary
Stimson and Undersecretary Cot
ton will begin to receive the en
tire question of Russian recogni
tion in the light of the new liberal
tendencies which in the Karolyi de
cision seem to have succeeded the
Kellogg and Hughes theories.
Business Interested.
American business is said to fav
or Soviet and American diplomatic
relations. Already various kinds
of business and industrial agree
ments have been satisfactorily con
cluded between the two countries.
The Ford company, General Elec
tric company and twenty-six oth
er American corporations have
signed technical aid agreements to j
foster relations between th United -
President Hoover and

Stevens left Bellaire Satur
day accompanied by
who identified himself
Cincinnati newspaper
porter." They were said to
be enroute to that city by au
tomobile, but efforts to trace
them failed.
A dramatic scene occurred dur- ,
ing the day in a cabin in the hills
of Belmont county when Stevens
faced Mrs. Dora Monroe Wegee,
sister of Smith, who first
nounced that her brother had con
fessed to the bomb killings for
which Thomas Mooney is serving a
life term in California. As Stev
ens entered the door Mrs. Wegee
denounced him, shouting, "I have
violated my dead brother's confi
dence." She claimed that she had
been led to believe Stevens was
dead and that she would not hav»
announced the confession
known he was alive. The woman
fainted, and when she was revived
she forcibly ejected the newspaper
men from her cabin. Stevens, Mrs. '
Wegee and the latter's son, Ott, all
told the same story about the
deathbed confession—that Smith
