Philadelphia, March 25.—Arthur C Hearle, supervisor of State prohibition director's offices in this district, and the first official sent here by Washington to uncover the gigantic liquor conspiracy resulting in the indictment of fonxter State Senator Williani C McConnell and forty-six others, has been trtpisferred to Austin, Texas. He was one of the most im¬ portant witnesses before the grand jury.
Orders transferring Hearle from Pennsylvania, where he has beeni located since last September, vrere received in a telegram today from Federal Prohibition Commissioner Ha3aie8 in Washington,
The telegram, while not a complete surprise to Hearle, came sooner than he had expected, and orders him to Austin, Texas, to take charge of the state director's office in that state and then to proceed to New Mexico and Arizona for similar investigations.
The telegram was received by Hearle just as he was leaving for New York City to spend the week-end with his family. He will return to Philadelphia Monday morning and hurriedly wind up his biuiness here.
Hearle returned last night from a trip throughout the state inspecting sites for the location of group heads in eight districts in which the state has been divided in the new en¬ forcement campaign to be st(u-ted April I by Director Davis.

The debate grew so heated that Lodge at one point left the Senate chamber tn anger, and at another time told Hitchcock not to shout.
Hitchcock contended that if the question were tested In the court.s.

One of the most Important develop¬ ments of the mine policy ses-xioii, aside from settling the threat ot in¬ surgency on the part of Farrington, waa believed to be formulation i't plans whereby the union "war chcsi" would be Increased to $2,000,000 to carry on the strike. Officers, though, would not srtate what these plar.s were.

In the intervening period beforo the strike, union leaders, it was stat¬ ed, will endeavor to "Ilne up" non¬ union workera to go out as a unit In the tie-up. It is estimated there are approximately 200,000 non-union workers In Amrirlca.
