at Murray Beach Sunday
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing the bathing beach at Murray was
the center of attraction for the gre
the center of attraction for the
greater part of the young people of
thic city and for hours and until the
pool was closed at night the high
way was filled with the cars going
and coming from the bathing beach.
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.
