Ludendorff
to Be Tried
for Treason
Hiller, Fascist Leader, Also to
Face Court With General
for Staging Coup in
Bavaria.
New Power in “Vikings”
By IniverNnl Service.
Munich, Nov. 13. Adolph Hitler,
Bavarian fascist! leader, once an Aus
trian paper hanger, and General Er
ich Ludendorff, greatest German mil
itary genius of the world wyir. are to
he tried together before a special
"popular court" on a charge of trea
son.
^^That was the announcement made
■■ to.lay in the offices of the Bavarian
government.
The special court will be organized
under the provisions of the martial
law. The penalty may be confinement
in a fortress, imprisonment or death.
General Ludendorff, now practical
ly Interned in his villa, had his tele
phone cut today. The general made
a determined protest, declaring this
action curtailing his freedom was a
violation of the promises made him
wiien he gave his word of honor. The
general told the government that
rather than submit to new indignities
he would submit himself for arrest
and confinement. This the govern
ment refused to allow.
Arrested in I’ajamas.
Hitler, who had declared that he
would "win or die," was arrested at
the home of a friend. At the time
of his arrest, according to govern
ment information. Hitler was clad In
pajamas. Another version, however,
is that he gave himself up on tho
advice of General Ludendorff.
The government today issued a
dental of reports that Hitler is to be
executed.
The ministerial council today ap
proved of everything that Dictator
Von Kahr lias done. The govern
ment continues to bombard the pub
lic with statements justifying the
conduct of Dictator Von Kahr, Gen
rial Von Lossow and Colonel Seis
: r. Their conduct has been openly
t r! I led. in many quarters, "treachery,"
in Hitler and Ludendorff.
Looms as Successor,
—aaptain Ehrhardt. commander of
*h - "Vikings." today said: "I hope
to assume the leadership of the
nationalist movement." Unconditional
adherence to Von Kahr is out ut the
question."
While Ehrhardt never approved of
Hitler, whom he regarded as a dem
agogue. he is now coming to the
front .s a leader to succeed Hitler.
"The personalities of Hitler, Von
Kahr and Ludendorff, or how they
are named, does not matter," said
Uhrhardt. "The only thing that mat
ters is the national movement. What
we want Is a strong government that
can take up negotiations with other
powers an destroy the dominance of
Marxism.
"Whether these aims can he
-achieved without force of arms Is
doubtful, as the coqntry now stands
before economic disaster."

Impossible to Buy Real Whisky Here,
Writer Who Exposed Bootleggers Says
A. R. Macdonald Offers $500 Reward to
Anyone Able to Find Bottle of Pure Old Stuff •
—Tells of Poison Put in Fake Liquor.
A man offered to bet $500 yester
day that a drink of whisky could not
be bought in Omaha.
"I will put the money in escrow
in the hands of any reputable lmnker
In Omaha, and if you will succeed
in buying whisky here the money is
yours,” he said.
“Why,” exclaimed one of the men
in the group who heard that state
ment, “There are hundreds of joints
here where it can he bought, and
there are bootleggers in every block
who will sell it. Better pull down
that bet old man, you'll lose your
money.” ♦
The man who offered to make that
sensational bet was A. B. Macdonald,
a staff writer for the The Ladies
Home Journal and ^ The Country
Centleman. He was here yesterday
attending a convention of district
agents of the Curtis Publishing com
pany.
Knows Where to Bet It.
"I am willing to put up the
money,” he insisted. "You go any
where in Omaha, buy a bottle of the
stuff they are selling here for
whisky, submit it to any reputable
firm of chemists, let them analyze it,
and if it is found to be genuine
whisky, the $500 is yours.”
I^ast winter The Ladles Home Jour
nal sent Macdonald out into ttie
country with instructions to buy six
or eight samples of bootleg whisky
in ench of a score of towns and citks,
/and then have those samples
analyzed. He did that. He went
first to Washington, D. C,, and there
he bought eight quarts of whisky, in
first class hotels, at reslaurane. cafes,
of bootleggers, and at saloons.
"Each bottle of it was apparently
genuine." said Macdonald yesterday.
"There was Old Taylor, Black and
White Scotch. Canadian Club, Water
fill A Frazier and several other well
i-n< wn brands, all in regulation bot
tles. with seemingly genuine labels
and the corks were branded and the
tin caps over the necks bore every
indication that they were the real
thing, but an analysis by one of the
best firms of chemifts in the world
disclosed that not one drop of the
liquid in any of those bottles was
whisky. Every drop of it was facti
tious. It was fake stuff. The greater
part of it was made from denatured
alcohol, redistilled hy bootleggers. It
was all poisonous, and yet it was be
ing drunk in Washington at the best
hotels by senators, congressmen and
other leading citizens. One bottle I
brought in from a bootlegger in the
senate office building and, while It
bore every outside evidence of heing
genuine, it was so poisonous that a
half pint of it, drank within an hour,
would stop tlie heart of any man.

Upheld by
Col. Forbes
Tells Body Probing Veterans’
Bureau President's Doctor
Ordered Rum Shipped
to Ohio.
Lays Trouble to Politics
By I nitt-rsttl Hpnliy.
Washington, Nov. 13.—Col. Charles
R. Forbes, former director, today
made a sweeping denial of accusa
tions brought against him and his
administration in the senate investi
gation of the veterans’ bureau.
f'orhes charged Brig. Gen. Charles
K. Sawyer, personal physician to the
late President Harding and President.
Coolldge, with being responsible for
the major part of his troubles.
Forbes charged that “Sawyer si
i ne time made a requisition to send
Into Ohio 20 barrels of whisky" from
the Perryville (Md.) supply depot.
He said that Klias H Mortimer had
been described to him at the Depart
ment of Justice as “the social and
professional bootlegger of Washing
ton." Sawyer and Mortimer are
among Forbes’ chief accusers in the
list of witnesses heard to date.
Politic* I* illumed.
Political influence had been exerted,
both Inside and outside tb ebureau,
to Interfere with his administration
'<f the bureau, Forbes asserted. This
Influence, he declared, came from
senators and representatives in con
gress as well a* through other chan
nels.
Forbes defended the purchase of
the Livermore (Cal.I and Kxcelsior
Springs (Mo) hospital sites, that hace
been the subject of vigorous attack,
and other hospital transactions that
have been brought into question.
The sale of supplies at Perryville,
Md , claimed to he worth 13,000,000,
to a Boston salvage concern for 20
cents on the dollar, likewise was de
fended as a good business deal In the
face of the Information he had at the
time.
Denies Writing Mellon.
In Ills defense of the Livermore
deal. For be* denied ever having writ
ten or having knowledge of a letter
purporting- to have gone from him
to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
atrongly urging the purchase ,,{ the
Livermore site at 1150,000. Likewise
he denied ever having seen the sec
retary's reply thereon.
It was brought out that the orig
inal letter could not be located In the
Treasury department files. However,
what purported to be a copy of it
and of the secretary’s reply were
produced from the treasury. A car
bon copy of such a letter was read
into the record from the veterans'
bureau files when the Livermore
deal was under Investigation a fort
night ago. i
Forties defended his contract with
Matthew O'Brien, San Francisco ar
chitect. who received $97,000 for pre
paring plans that were never used for
a hospital at Livermore. He declared
O'Brien came to him with endorse
ments from both senators and the
entire house delegation from Cali
fornia. O'Brien's plans, he said, were
rejected after he had left the bureau
Touchy on Head Man.
When the late Charles F. Crar
name had been brought into the dls
(Mission of the Livermore deal, Forbes
said:
"Mr. Cramer is dead. The man la
gone I don't think It will avail any
thing to question me about him.”
Forbes admitted, however, that he
had sent the former general counsel
to California to Investigate and recom
mend a tuberculosis hospital site. He
said he first met Cramer In 1914. but
had not seen him again until he came
to Washington In 1921. He declared
he knew nothing of a supposed 1150,
000 option secured at Cramer's In
stance for the Livermore site, nor
had he ever seen Lucian B. Johnson,
former owner of the property, until
he came to Washington to testify In
this hearing. The bureau bought this
property for $105,000,
Forbes said he appointed MaJ. Wil
liam Wolff Smith aa Crnmer'a sue
cessor In the face of political prea
aure, Indlratlng Smith filed political
endoraementa "a foot high” to get
the Job.
