'IMAM CD i urn niLi BY FEDERAL JURY Found Not Guilty of Maintaining Nuisance at Broadway Night Club NEW YORK, April 11 () A federal court jury decided today that Texas Guinan had no part In maintaining a common nuisance at the Salon Royale by abetting the sale of liquor there and the verdict was received with hilarious acclaim by the spectators. Everyone Jumped up from their seats, clapped and cheered and shouted and one man seized the blonde night club hostess and kissed her. She In turn ran to the jury box and shook hands with the 12 jurors who had decided her innocence after deliberation of one hour and four minutes. 10 Others Plead Guilty Had she been convicted Miss Guinan would have been liable to one year imprisonment and a fine of $1,000. Just before her trial opened three days ago she and 10 others from the Salon Royale were given a chance to change their pleas and all but she pleaded guilty and received deferred sentences.

The principal witnesses for the government were three Washington prohibition agents who told of visiting the Salon Royale and buying liquor there. She herself was' the only important witness for the de fense, testifying that she had never had a drink in her life and never knew that liquor was sold at the night club. of bright lights, tights, nights, and sights? Be that as it may, you can count on me, Cal. I can well understand how you came to take the insurance Job. I'm not a bit surprised.

It's only natural thad after giving the country Coolldge policies for six years, you 6hould finally realize that you can sell them. So I'm here to tip you off to a thing or two. The big Idea In Insurance Is to get live ones. The longer the policy holders live, the more Jack the company makes. Some insurance solicitors don't understand this and talk their prospects to death.

For that reason, I warn you aa follows, too witty: 1. Don't Insure Democrats, In BIrdsboro. They get buried every election. 2. Don't Insure women of the feminine sect.

They dye young. 3. Shun clucks who use cloves after real parties. Guys who use cloves are trying lose their breath. 4.

Don't Insure ukelele players, editors, husbands, prison inspectors, aldermen, and those who believe what candidates tell 'em. You can't live long without brains. Or can you? 5. Don't Insure butchers. If you tried to buy calves' liver lately, you'll know why.

Butchers are nearly always short livers. 6. Don't Insure renorters. Every TEXAS Gu LiV Elmer Gives Insurance Tips to Cal Okehs Idea to Sell Coolidge Policies By ELMER PICKNEY Mr. Calvin Coolidge, 21 Massassoit Northampton, Mass.

In his own language, with an eloquence felt even by those who did not understand his words, Charalambos Simopoulos, Greek minister to the United States, called on members of the Reading Ahepa, at their fourth annual banquet In The Berkshire, to carry on the civilization born in Athens centuries ago. The Ahepa is an organization of Greco Americans. "Ours Js the task of carrying on our civilization, to true children of Greece," he declared. "Each Greek should be the unofficial repre sentative of his country by doing good works." Thanks Officials for Greetings Briefly thanking city and county officials for their greetings, the min ister apologized for his inability to speak perfect English, although his words were only slightly halting.

Then turning to his own tongue, he launched an earnest ptea for Greeks to unite. He referred to the Ameri No Trouble in Placing Mrs. Gann, Says Envoy DETERMINING the social status of Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice President Curtis and official hostess for him, presented no difficulty to the diplomatic corps at Washington, Charalambos Simopoulos, Greek minister to America, declared last night while attending a banquet of the Reading Ahepa here. "It never was a problem to us," he said with a shrug of the shoulders.

He would not comment on the trouble American hostesses are having in placing Mrs. Gann at functions. can Civil War and the reunion of North and South which followed as an example for Greeks. Love and work' should be your slogan," he said. "Get together.

Avoid quarrels and you will advance. Don't stand with folded hands, ex pecting improvements to come of themselves. Work." n. Every one of the more than 300 Greco Americans present paid strained attention to Simopoulos. A tall and imposing figure, he stood with one hand in his trousers' pocket and the other emphasizing his plea for national unity.

After the first few minutes of his 20 minute address, the listeners who did not understand Greek caught the earnestness of his plea. Many leaned forward in their seats to follow his expression in voice and face. Others watched the play of emotions on the faces of his countrymen. Urges Citizenship The minister closed by urging the members of the Ahepa to be good American citizens and wished the United States "continued prosperity." "Mutual understanding is not reached at the tables of diplomats, while the people stand outside, but at tables like this, across the 'backyard on the playgrounds and on ths streets," declared George M. Jones, toastmaster.

YO, HO A BOTTLE OF RUM i 'm 3 U4t MM The mighty Leviathan was ready to start when this picture was taken on its last trip as a prohibition i liner.

ORDERED OFF JOB Architect Charges Walls Being Insecurely Built, Halts Work Charging that the walls" were being insecurely built, Charles Muhlenberg, school board architect, yesterday morning ordered all work suspended on the new $200,000 Thirteenth and Union street grade school. Muhlen berg's action climaxed a long series of disputes between John C. Snyder, Sellnsgrove, general contractor, and the architect, Building Superintendent Adam H.

Leader and School Dl rector Andrew J. Fink, chairman of the board's building committee. This is said to have, been the first time in the history of the Reading school district that a contractor has been ordered from the job. Muhlenberg orders Snyder to sus pend all operations. He will ask the board at a meeting next Tuesday night to take the contract from Snyder and to decide how work on the building Is to be continued.

The board can, it is said, carry on the work itself or let new contracts. It is likely that Snyder will present his side of the case to the board Tuesday and also that representatives of the Baltimore company which bonded Snyder will be present. They were notified yesterday of Muhlenberg's action. Work Under Fire Snyder's' work on the concrete walls of the building has been under fire by Muhlenberg, Fink and Leader almost since the building was started in February. Muhlenberg ordered Snyder March 13 to tear out a wall which he claimed did not contain waterproofing material called for in the specifications.

Later the board backed up the architect but Snyder demanded that the dispBte be de cldcd by arbitration as provided in his contract. The board and the contractor named arbitrators who have not yet met. Meanwhile the wall has not been pulled down Leader protested to the board last Tuesday that the' building was two months' behind schedule but no action was taken. Snyder was awarded the Thirteenth and Union school contract January 15 at his bid of $201,177. POTTSVILLE MAY BAR SMOKING IN STORES POTTSVILLE, April 11.

M. M. Barnard, superintendent of district penal Institutions, said tonight that he would request a ruling within the next few days as to whether prisoners sentenced for contempt can be put at hard labor and that if the attorney general holds it legal Sinclair will be taken to the prison farm at Occoquan, Va. Given Hard Work "There he will be given hard work to do Just like any other laborer," Barnard added.

It Is customary to keep prisoners at the jail only 10 days and in view of this the superintendent said he believed the ruling would permit taking the oil man to Occoquan. The workhouse is located about 25 miles from Washington and is vir tually bare of trees for protection In summer time. Barnard said that bricks were made, roads and buildings constructed, automobile licenses manufactured and general farming done at the institution and that if taken there Sinclair probably would be assigned to one of these tasks. FINDS MILLION CHECK, GETS REWARD OF $20 Hitch Hiker to New York Also To Get Job NEW YORK, April 11 UP). An Indianapolis youth who hitch hiked here to look for a Job on a ship sailing to foreign ports today found his opportunity in the form of a $1,000,000, check lying in the street.

James Duckett, 22, who had found the big city pretty cold Wednesday night and the Bowery mission noth ing like home, sweet home, set out this morning In an effort to land the Job. At Broadway and Cedar street he saw the check, made pay able by Pynchon and company to the Hanover National bank, lying In the dust. He took It to the Hanover National; from there he was escorted to Pynchon and company and soon he was the recipient of a $20 reward and the congratulations of financiers. More than that, an adjuster of the Na tional Surety company took him to the United line office to see about that Job. Final arrangements are scheduled to be made tomorrow.

HARD LABOR TE Liner's Present Eastward Journey Will Be a Dry Trip, Owners Say CALLED ILLEGAL Enforcers Declare Ship Will Not Be Allowed to Have Rum Within U. S. WASHINGTON, April 11 (JP). Prohibition officials said they had lost interest In the present trip of the Leviathan to Europe after the announcement from New York that no liquor would be sold but they immediately Became interested in later dispatches from the metropolis which indicated liquor might be sold hereafter on eastward voyages. The later New York announcement said that the public relations department of the new owners of the Leviathan said that was fair to assume that the huge liner would be dry only on its present eastward voyage and Commissioner Doran of the prohibition bureau when advised of this declared there would be no legal way the ship could sell intoxicants on outbound trips.

Protect Medicinal Stores Doran said that if liquor should be spld on eastward trips his department immediately would become active. There is no legal way for the Leviathan to get liquor for an eastward voyage, he added, as it cannot be brought into this country even under seal. Prohibition officials explained that the medicinal liquor on board the ship was obtained under federal permit and must be issued by prescription of a physician just as. Is done on American soil. All medicinal liquor, they said, must be accounted for.

It was entirely legal, they said, for a ship to take on a supply of liquor in a foreign port and serve it to the passengers until the three mile limit was reached in its approach to the United States. At that limit, however, they said, it would be necessary to dump overboard all liquor on board except that permitted for medicinal purposes. Court Decision Recalled While the supreme court in a 1923 decision on cases brought by the Cun ard and other steamship companies construed the prohibition amendment as precluding the bringing of liquor aboard ships into the territorial waters of the United States, it held that domestic merchant ships outside the waters of the United States were not covered by the prohibition amendment. Referring specifically to the contention that a merchant ship was a part of the territory of the country whose flag she fliqs and that therefore American ships on 'the high seas were subject to the prohibition amendment, the court said that such an assertion was a "figure of speech, a metaphor." LIQUOR ONLY TO BE SOLD OUTSIDE 12 MILE LIMIT NEW YORK, April 11 The liner Leviathan, queen of the American merchant marine, was plowing the waves today, still a dry boat under the orders of its new owners but soon to lose its aridity by author itv of those same orders. The Leviathan sailed yesterday on its llrst voyage under private owner ship, having been taken over by an oragnization headed by Paul W.

Chapman along with the rest of the shipping board fleet. The shipping board boats were dry but shortly after the Leviathan sailed the report got about that the new United States lines were going to follow the example of most other American shipping concerns and sell liquor on tne lar side oi tne it mile line. Will Be Sold Both Ways This report was confirmed by Joseph E. iSheedy, executive vice president of the line, who said he had decided the new liquor policy of the Leviathan and her smaller sisters on his own responsibility. Some hours later, he amended his statement to say that his orders to the stewards directed them not to sell from the medical stores of liquor on the present trip to Europe, butl on the westward return Journey to sell liquor.

While his statement covered specifically only the current round trip it was clearly indicated that unde the new orders, on sub sequent trips liquor would be sold both ways outside 'the twelve mile limit. There will be no bars on the United States lines' boats, he said, because strong drink sometimes leads to strong language and he wished to A (Turn to Page Eight) "The king" was very nice and Jolly," said William, after their Interview, "and we laughed and talked of the days, when we were' young lads toJ gether and when I used to pull ashore in the captain's cutter.

He swallowed poison but was saved by prompt medical attention. Cyr said he knew no other way to escape an insurance agent who had been bothering him. VOTE MACHINE BILL Lone Opposition to Governor's Amendment Withdraws Objection HARRISBURG, April 11. Smooth sailing for the amended voting machine bill next Monday night was forecast by administration 'forces tonight after Sen. William.

H. Clark of Chester denied that he was leading a movement for rejection of the instruction amendment inserted at the suggestion of Governor Fisher. The amendment requires the curtain of the machine to be open while instruction in its use is being given. Clark, while saying he didn't like the attitude of the governor in asking for a change in the bill after approving it, declared he would vote for concurrence in that and other amendments when the bill is sent back to the senate for that purpose. It has been set for final vote In the house on Monday night.

Keeps Ballot Secret The amendment permits voters to receive instructions on the operation of the machine so long as the election booth curtain is raised, but not after it has been lowered. Arguments were advanced that assistance given while the booth curtain is raised would violate the secrecy of the ballot. On the contrary, the sponsors contend, the assistance thus given merely is to aid the voter hi the operation or the machine, and the voter so aided does not begin voting until after the curtain is lowered. The movement to have the summer White House for the president of the United States established In Pennsylvania, was further today when the house approved the Sheeley bill, providing for a grant of 1,000 acres to the federal government for this purpose. The bill now goes to the senate for its ap proval.
