Eyanson, assistant to President E. Kent Hubbard of the' Connecticut Manufacturers Association, was th principal witness today before the Senate Lobby Investigation Committee. It was shown that Mr. Eyanson, who served on the Government payroll in the office of Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, was in close touch and correspondence on tariff matters with the Connect'cut association which was paying him $10,000 per annum. Evidence was Introduced to show that Mr.

Eyanson was loaned'' to Senator Bingham as the represen PLEADS PATRIOTISM. Mtvx. i febWARD L. D0HWp The oil man, who knew Fall in the West when both were young, showed signs of emotion as he said emphatically that the $100,000 he gave to Fall was simply a loan. He was in tears and his voice shook as he told of conversations with Rear Admiral J.

K. Roblson. who represented the Navy during the oil leases. Claims Patriotic Act. He said he never discussed the clause of the Elk Hills-Pearl Harbor contract which gave his company preference to any lands that the Government might subsequently decide to lease.

"Preferential rights had no meaning to me and never have had," he added. Doheny told the jury he Informed Admiral Roblson that he was not interested in the Pearl Harbor contract, adding ho consented to bid only after Roblson appealed to his patriotism. The naval officer was quoted as saying establishment of the Pearl Harbor oil base would do away "with the menace in the East." The menace referred to, Doheny testified, was Japan. "Fortunately, the earthquake in Japan destroyed the very hing that was the menace thousands of barrels of oil that were in storage." he said. Doheny's wife preceded him on the stand and corroborated, in part, his testimony about the $100,000 he gave Fall.

Met Fall as Miner. Doheny said he first met Fall in Kingston in 1888 when Fall was a miner at the Gray Eagle Mine. Under rapid examination the witness covered a span of years during which he achieved success in business and Fall rose high in political life. Doheny said he had nothing to do with President Harding's transfer of the Naval Oil Reserves to the Jurisdiction of the Interior Department, but told of receiving a letter from Fall in 1921 in which the latter asked him to get the Pan-American Company to relln-guish rights to part of Elk Hills. He said he replied his company would be glad to do anything to help the Government.

Fall Asked for Cash. Fall later told him, the oil man said, of his desire to purchase an addition to his ranch property and spoke of trying to borrow from Edward B. McLean, Washington publisher. Doheny said he offered to let Fall have the money, but the Cabinet member did not immediately accept the offer, but asserted if he did he would give Doheny a mortgage on the ranch property. On Nov.

29, 1922, Fall telephoned him asking for the loan. Fall, he said, explained the difficulty of handling checks in New Mexico and asked for cash, which Doheny sent the next day by his son. When the son returned he gave the witness Fall's note which did not contain the rate of interest, his son saying Fall had left it blank, as he thought Doheny should set the rate. Doheny said he tore the signature off the note so it would not embarrass Fall In case of his (Doheny's) unexpected death, as It was a demand note. Doheny's wife testified earlier that her husband had told her to keep the note signature carefully so It would be; available when time came to present the note for payment, She added she had taken the signature from New York to Los Angeles and put it in a safe deposit box.

Today Mrs. Doheny produced the signature In court. Frank Hogan, chief defense counsel, put, them together and presented the complete note to the Jury, whirh examined it carefully. Mrs. Doheny, who was wearing a black dress trimmed in white, was on the stand only a short while before her husband was called.

Frederick, Chief Assistant District Attorney, "assisted in running liquor frorfl Canada to the United States, and also received compensation from liquor chiefs for hauling liquor in trucks to Detroit as well as to Chicago and Toledo." The agents also assisted In loading contraband on freight cars consigned to New York, according to Frederick. At all times the Government men acted as bona fide rum runners and enjoyed the confidence of their associates.

The undercover agents stated they were employed to run the liquor In their own boats for the syndicate. Fleets of boats with an aggregate capacity of more than 2,000 cases a trip were used by the syndicate. Government trucks also were pressed into service to carry the ilquor, according to the agents.

Election Board Defeated in Plea to Bar Print ing of His Name Twice.

The Court of Appeals in Albany today sustained a ruling last week of Supreme Court Justice Humphreys that the Boar dof Elections must print the name of Supreme Court Justice" Stephen Callaghan twice on the official ballot as candidate for re-election of the Republican and also the Square Deal party. When the Board of Elections ruled that the Jurist's name could appear only once but that the emblems of the two parties could be printed on the same line. Justice Humphreys granted an order of mandamus against the Board. The Board promptly carried the case to the Court of Appeals. Only on Horizontal Line.

Justice Callaghan was informed of the Court of Appeals decision by his counsel, Meier Steinbrink. Assistant Corporation Counsel Joseph Reilly sent from Albany the following wire to the Board of Elections: "The order is modified to the extent that the name Callaghan shall "appear only on the horizontal line of the Square Deal party." S. Howard Cohen, chief clerk of the board, said the effect of the ruling was to Ignore other provisions in the order of Justice Humphreys. He said If any other parties indorsed Justice Callaghan, the emblems of these parties would be placed beside the Republican emblem, making it unnecessary to print the name more than twice. Replying to a report that a campaign committee working in his behalf had sought contributions from civil service employees.

Justice Callaghan countered today by charging that the Democrats were doing the same thing. The Republican jurist asserted that his secretary, George Seen-betz, had received a letter from the Citizens' Committee for the Reelection of Walker, Berry and Mc-Kee. Serenbetz Is a civil service employee, the Judge pointed out. Justice Callaghan was informed that representations had been made to The Eagle that a letter of the Citizens' Non-Part Isan Committee for the Re-election of Judge Stephen Callaghan had been received by civil service employees. The committee's letter Included a blank check form made out to Mrs.

Alexander Hamilton Fraser, treasurer, and a return envelope addressed to Mrs. Fraser at the Hotel St. George. Nelson B. Nelson is chairman of the committee.

The law forbids the solicitation of campaign contributions from civil service employees "I really know nothing about it," Justice Callaghan declared today. "The work of that committee Is something Mr. Nelson is doing on his own responsibility. He is a very high-class gentleman and I am sure he wouldn't do anything that was wrong. "If they happened to send a letter to a civil service man, I don't see how they could have known that he was a civil service man." Court Delays Decision On Mrs.

S. Officials on List. Profit Is $45,000,000. By FRANK EMERY (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Newark, N. Oct.

18 In an office "with the two little black books" seized in the much trumpted Prohibition raid Wednesday night, William J. Calhoun, Prohibition administrator for New Jersey, proceeded today in the mopping up of the so-called multi-million dollar rum syndicate, and he seemed to be doing it alone. What this mopping up Is to consist of nobody seems to know. Reports that the little black books contained the syndicate's weekly "payolf" of some $30,000 to municipal, State and Federal officials in New York and New Jersey remained unverified in substance. Or for that matter in any part.

Shawnee Outside Limits. The total drift of the mopping up toll up to this afternoon consisted two brief and vague typewritten statements sent by the Prohibition Administrator to the throng of newspaper cooling their heels in the corridor outside of his office. The first of these was to the effect that the syndicate flagship, the Shawnee, had left Bermuda on Oct. bound for the 12-mile limit with cargo of contraband, and that this transport "had succeeded In hovering outside the treaty limit." These limits are an hour's run from shore. The statement went on to say that the ship is in command of Captain McLeod, one of the 34 Indicted prior the syndicate roundup.

This statement indicated that the Shawnee Is the prize of th situation and has no intention of strolling into water heavily patroled by U. S. Naval and Coast Guard craft. The second of the Calhoun statements was that the Prohibition administrator has found nothing in one way or another to connect the Coast Guard with the operation of the syndicate or the little Mack books. Arsenal Not So Strong.

Though there was some excitement and activity in Calhoun's office, the more spectacular feature the Wednesday raid suddenly struck a bear market. "The arsenal" captured at Highlands dwindled, in actual fact, from the heralded fortification of emplacements, machine guns and bombing machines to a couple of rifles, a sawey-off shotgun, a tear gas pencil and some rounds of mmunition. The contraband taken at this plant amounted to 50cv ases or so of variety of botled tuff.

The removal of the police was construed as definite evidence that the trouble was over. Further indication that a considerable number of men had already returned was seen in the fact that trucks returning to the yards with strikebreaker crews were getting replacements of regular employees.

Failure of other unions to sunoort the gasoline drivers' local was the principal cause for the col'apse of their strike. When the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the parent union of the local which walked out, refused active support by a sym pathetic strike, the backbone of the gasoline tie-up really was broken. The strikers tried to keep their courage going for a time by predict ing a boycott of goods driven by non-union" gasoline, but even that hope dwindled yesterday. As a result, a committee of strik ers met Standard Oil Company officials in an unofficial way yester day an again this afternoon.

Rabenold for the withdrawal of the plea of guilty entered by Charles Delos Waggoner, Telluride, banker, to the indictment charging mail fraud. The court reserved decision on a motion to reduce the sentence from the maximum of 15 years, but said that there would be no "practical reduction in any event." Judge Coleman said that he had written to the Federal Parole Board Immediately after imposing sentence urging that Waggoner be paroled at the end of live years, and that if he reduced the maximum he would still urRe that the defendant be held in prison for el least five years. The move to set aside the guilty plea by was based on com parisons of the sentence of 15 years imposed on him and of sentences imposed on James Rae Clarke and his partners and other persons who had pleaded or been convicted of similar serious offences. Mr. Rabenold told Judge Coleman that he desired to submit affidavit? showing that Waggoner hud been under a misapprehension as to what sentence he was likely to get when he pleaded guilty.

Rabenold said United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle had told representatives cf the detendant that while he did not make it a policy to recommend any specific penalty to the court, it was the practice where several counts covered one specific offense to provide that all penalties should run concurrently. Such an order In Waggoner's case would have mad? his maximum term five years. Tuttle, Rabenold continued, pointed to the case of George Graham Rice and to the Clarke brothers, who received from eight years down to a suspended sentence.

Oran, Algeria, Oct. 18 Moorish tribesmen have made another raid on French troops on the south slopes of the Atlas Mountains, cutting up a column of the French Foreign Legion.

Fifty legionnaires and native soldiers were killed and 21 wounded. The tribesmen left many dead on the field. Another column of the Foreign Legion came up in time to beat off the Moors, who had descended from the Tafllelt region of Morocco. A French airplane on a scouting flight saw the attack and was able to give directions quickly to the rescuing column. The plane also carried the more seriously wounded of the French troops to a hospital at Oran.

The attack, which occurred yesterday, was the first recorded in some months. Army authorities are taking active measures by land and air to cut off the tribesmen's retreat into the mountain fastnesses. Long Island Man Is Held in $5,000 Bail For Liquor Hearing Charles D.

Senator Walsh crad from the minutes of the Manufacturers Association where npproval was given to sending a "representative" to Bingham to help "protect'' Connecticut industries in the tariff bill. "Who was the representative?" asked the Senator. "I presume myself," Eyanson replied. "Who was he to represent?" "He was to be a representative of the association until such time as he reported to Senator Bingham.

"That qualification is not in the record," observed Walsh. "No that's 'my qualification. I wanted to express the view of the association." "Oh, yet." The "extracts from the minutes of the board of directors meeting on May 9, 1929," read by Senator Walsh, stated, in part: "After discussion It was voted: That the vote received by letter authorizing aid to Senator Bingham In protecting interests of Coneetl-cut manufacturers be confirmed."
