At nine o'clock there were nearly a hundred cars parked around the pool. I The improvements that hare been made this year in the equipment of the pool and the surroundings make it a very pleasing attraction and in the hot weather certainly it will be one of the feature spots in this part (Of Nebraska. The parkinc space has been in 1 cieased until there is now room for six or seven houndred car's on the grounds. A substantial fence has been constructed around the pool and a score of 100 watt lamps installed. I These with the lights in the bath house and refreshment stand pull too heavily on the transformer ca- j parity at Murray and a new trans- ! lormer is being installed for the ex-! elusive use of the swimming pool. whic h will do away with the dimness j of the lights and make the pool and surroundings stand out in a flood of light, excelled only by daylight it self. At the northwest corner of the pool a concrete step arrangement for aereating the water as it is be ing pumped into the pool has been installed and this will provide more sanitarv conditions for the bathers. A dandy diving board has been installed and "Doc" Taylor says a new modern sliding-board will be in stalled to furnish extra thrills for the visitors from Plattsmouth in the near future. While traveling was not the best in the world yesterday, it did not stop the seekers after the enjoyments of the water sports from getting to and from our neighboring town to the south. TELLS OF WHISKEY PLOTS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR G, 0. P. Johnson oi: Stand. Says that afsa&s Told of Being Chosen to Cra?h Ford Boom. KELLOH PLANNED TO GET BACK HIS MILLION" New York. June 17. Tale of an alleged eathtgrftacy to sell whiskey in Loud to rris an election fund for the repuo'icr.n party was told by Charles W. Johnson fir.st wi doss for the state at the opening of the trial today of Gaston B. Means, for mer special agent for the department of justice and his secrelary. Emil W. .Tarnecke under indictment for prohibition law violations. Johnson also testified Mean" claimed he had been selected to crush the Ford presidential boom. The witness asserted Means had told him he had received orders to "get something" on Ford and his publici ty representative. William Scaise. The names of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. and Commissioner Blair of the depart ment of internal ervenue. were men tioned in connection with the alleg ed plot to withdraw liquor from government warehouses. For G. 0. P. Fund Means had told him Joh.nson tes tified, that Secretary Mellon had given about 1 million dollars to the republican party and that there was a scheme afoot to get it back. This would be done by charging 2 hun dred dollars a barrel for withdraw ing whiskey from bond, the witness said. Enough would be withdrawn, it was planned to make the republi can campaign fund as large as needed, he said. Johnson, who was fndicted with Means and Jarnecke. but who turn ed state's evidence, told of hearing Means talk to Daugherty by long distance telephone from New York and refer familiarly to the matter of whiskey withdrawals. Johnson told a story of how a plan for withdrawing the whiskey from a Brownsville Pa., distillery was ma tured gradualy by meetings with Means and Jarnecke in Washington. Pittsburg and New York. The witness said he met Means and Jarnecke through one Jack Stein, who asked him if he was in terested in getting whiskey from bond "without any trouble." When Johnson insisted that the business be done with absolute legal ity. Means gave him positive assur ance that this would be done even to the delivery of the goods. It was then that Mellon is said to have told of his connection with the Ford boom. Blair's Name Used Johnson said he had given Jar necke $15,097 in cash at the Lee house in Washington and that there was considerable delay in getting the liquor because Means at the time was ordered to New York to make an investigation. After several long waits Means finally deputized a man named Flan nigan. Johnson said, to accompany the latter to Brownsville and col lect 2 hundred dollars a barrel for the whiskey. Flanuigan disappered in Pittsburg. Telephone conversa tion with Jarnecke. who had re mained in New York. disclosed that Means was in Johnstown. Pa.: straightening out some trouble about the trucks. The name "Blair" which appeared several times in the witness testi mony, was definitely identified by Johnson as Commissioner Blair of the department of internal revenue. He testified to hearing a telephone conversation about the Brownvillc withdrawals between Means and Blair. Before the testimony of the witness had been completed the case was adjourned until tomorrow when Johnson will continue his story. Joseph Hadraba departed this morning for Omaha accompanying his daughter. Mrs. Blanche Price and daughter. Helen Virginia, that far on their journey to Chappel. Nebraska where they will spend a short time visiting with relatives. Old Fashioned Dance!
