Threat to Prosecute Alleged
Purchasers Was Made by Dis¬
trict Attorney’s Office—Little
Black Book Seized.
Washington, Dec. 29 (/P)—Still an¬
other governlment official, Comrnis
sionei Llair, of the internal revenue
bureau, today denied all knowledge
of the mysterious list of rum pur¬
chasers which has become the center
of Washington's bootleg scandal for
a day or two after the raid that starr¬
ed all the trouble.
Police officials talked freely of the
seizure of a list containing hundreds
of names and hinted that some of
them would take the breath of official
and fashionable Washington if pub¬
lished.
A threat to prosecute the alleged
purchasers was made by the district
attorney’s office. Then the list sud¬
denly disappeared and left behind
only the widening circle of denials.
Commissioner Blair’s statement to¬
day did refer, however, to a group
of tig enty-one names, which he said
had been seized and were under in¬
vestigation. Then he added that oth¬
er names had been contributed by
those under arrest in the case, that
fifty more had been contained in an¬
other list seized some time before and
finally that a little black book appar¬
ently also existed at one time con¬
taining the names of several hun¬
dred.

HOPE VANISHES
FOR DIXMUDE’S
MISSING CREW
French Government Sends High
Officials to Express
Sympathy
FAMILIES OF FIFTY
VICTIMS ARE NOTIFIED
Efforts to Clear Mystery of the
Fate of the Giant Dirigible
Have Yielded iNo Further Re¬
sults Up to Present.
Paris. Dec. 29 (/P)—Hope has been
abandoned of finding anj survivors
from the missing French dirigible,
Dixmude. The government today be¬
gan sending high officials to the fam¬
ilies of the fifty victims to extend its
sympathy and also express admira¬
tion for the heroic qualities of the
airship’s crew.
Efforts to clear the mystery of the
fate of tlie dirigible had yielded no
further results up to this morning,
but it was hoped that Captain Jour
hert, the French naval attache in
Ri me, who was due in Sciacea, Si¬
cily today, (would find in the pockets
of Lieutenant Grenadan papers that
would explain the disaster.
At present everyone is convinced
that thq entire crew of fifty men per¬
ished and that the ship herself was
destroyed.
One point which is puzzling Ma¬
rine department officials is the fact
that none of the pigeons which the
Dixmude carried has returned.
The news of the discovery of the
body of Lieutenant Grenadan off Sci
acca is being withheld from his wife,
(,vho is about to beccme a mother.
The commander’s father, a retired
field officer, wounded in the war, bore
the shock stoically.
Lieutenant Grenadan’s watch had
stopped at 2:110 o’clock. Employes
at the Cekicca railway station say
I that at 2:30 on the 'morning of the
26th they saw a bright transient
gleam in the sky seaward, the ori¬
gin of which they were unable to ex¬
plain. They were certain it was not
lightning.
Scouring the Seas
V Rome, Dec. 29 (/P)—Fishermen off
tlie Sicilian coast are on the lookout
for wreckage from the Dixmude and
also for the bodies of other members
of her crew. The Italian Navy is
scouring the seas between the islands
of Pantelaria, sixty miles from the
1 southwest coast of Sicily and the
mainland of Africa, in the hope of
finding traces of the ship and her
men.
The body of Lieutenant Grenadan,
.which was picked up in the ocean off
Sciacca yesterday, reached the island
last evening, where it was accorded
full military honors pending the ar¬
rival of the French naval attache
from Rome.

CONDITIONS ARE
BETTER IN SAAR
VALLEY REGION
STILL CAUSE MUCH ANXIETY
OVER THE FRANCO-GER¬
MAN FRONTIER
Geneva, Dec. 29 UP)—Satisfactory
from same points of view, the eco¬
nomic and social situation of the Saar
Valley territory causes anxiety from
others, according to a report re- ived
by the League of Nations fr.vn the
governing column sion of the district.
The Saar Valley, which extends along
the Franco-German frontier was
handed over to the League for rou¬
ted during a pciiod of yt iri after
which the inhabit.iMs by a plebiscite
will decide their future political sta¬
tus.
The commission reports that the
territory is gradually recovering from
the effects of the miners’ strike and
that there is a large increase in the
gross yield from the mines. How
.ever, the territory as a whole has not
regained its prosperity, the situation
being aggravated by continual diffi¬
culties in transport j,o the east, by the
scarcity of certain raw materials and
by the rise in the cost of living which
i‘....... began •. in Augi^jt/;. \...... Since June the
French franc has been the only legal
currency in the district, replacing the
German mark. The effort of the gov¬
erning commission to prevent exploi¬
tation of the currency reform at first
succeeded, but in August and Septem¬
ber a somewhat alarming increase in
the cost of living set in, the main
causes being the rarity of credits, the
enormous rise of prices in Germany,
and the ever-widening use of the gold
unit for the establishment of prices.
■However, prices are now lower than
in Germany. The commission has
adopted measures to deal with the ag¬
itation tendency in labor circles.
Compilation of results of a census
taken last year shows that the total
Saar population is 713,105. The sur¬
face of the territory is 188,069 square
kilometers.
The commissioners express belief
that they will be able to cope (with
the problem of the cost of living and
eventually succeed in balancing the
budget.

revolt soon grew to more than 100 as

through windows, screaming and
causing a general commotion.
Sheriff Harter, a number of his
deputies and Delaware police aided by
officials and nearby farmers, quelled
the uprising shortly before midnight.
