WIDER PUBLICIIY R U. S. LIQUOR RULING October 21 Named as Last Day of Present Plan-Foreigners Noti fed-French Officials Put Wrong Interpretation on Daugherty's Opinion Washington, Oct. 16.-All Ameri can diplomatic and consular offi cers abroad have been instructed by the State Department to give Attorney General Daugherty barr ing liquor from American ships ev erywhere and from foreign as well as American ships in American terri torial waters. The department transmitted a statement by Secretary Mellon of the treasury, who has jurisdiction over prohibition enforcement, set ting forth not only what the gen eral application of the opinion is to become operative later, but call ing attention also that the ban on selling drinks is effective from Oc tober 7. It is assumed - that Mr. Mellon message will be delivered at once to all foreign governments through the American embassies and lega tions, constituting formal notice of the intentions of the United States in the enforcement of its prohibi tion regulations. As originally transmitted Satur day, Mr: Mellon's statement set October 14 as the date on which "the provisions of the natik;A.l prohibition act" are to become ef fective within American territorial waters. This dae later was changed to October 24 by order of Presi:k.znt Harding, however, and American representatives abroad have been so informed. Have Wrong Idea Dispatches from Paris today say ing that French officials inter preted the American notification as permitting foreign vessels to enter American writers with liquors abov' rd declaring that only a misreading of the American government statement could account for such an impression. Both in prohibition circles and at the Department of Justice the view was taken that Mr. Daugherty's opinion was strikingly explicit in its dealing with the transportation of liquor upon foreign vessels within the territorial waters of the United States. The opinion declared with em phasis the approach of a foreign ship within less than three miles of the continental United States bearing beverages opposed under the laws of the United States would constitute "transportation," within the meaning of the prohibi WRIG Satisfies and aids aj Cleanses A great relieving I Combit benefit. \\\Don't n new WRIGI coated pe Save the wrappers Good for V valuable / /f" pr'emiums lA tion amendment and the Volstead act. Extension to October 21 of the time in which the ruling. would be come effective was announced by Prohibition Commissioners Haynes Saturday, and was,, stated, to: have been made because of "pending in junctions and in order to give #ull time for compliance." Mr. Haynes proceeded in his announcement to state that the opinion. was "to the effect that the transportation and sale of liquor on American ships, and on foreign ships in the terri torial waters of the United States are unlawfully." It was suggested today that French officials may have misun derstood the formal notice propos ing the effective date of the liquor transportation ban and may have taken it as an abridgement of the previous announcement that trans portation as well as sale of intoxi cants is to be regarded as illegal. Transportation Not Mentioned The statement of Saturday Mel lon does not specifically mention transportation, although its terms are explained by officials as good enough to cover both transportation and sale. Its text follows: "The propositions of the national prohibition act are applicable to United States vessels leaving for eign ports after October 14 and to foreign vessels leaving foreign ports after that date on coming within the territorial waters of the United States.

O " ''I THE BA JOSEPH SPROTT, President JAMES M His case was apepaled, the appeal prison never perfected and he has never his life been resentenced. undoubt In the lapse of time attention ular off has been brought to bear on the sentenc< case when Governor Harvey found that the negro has been at the State prison under a peculiar stat us and much pressure has been Wash brought to bear on the Executive for of $50,( clemency on the ground that the ernmeni negro is innocent of the charge andGra] should never have been convicted. United The negro at the time of his ar- by the raignmnent had no money nor scn friends and A. J. Hydrick was ap- the san pointed by the court to defrlnd him. Ed C. Mann, later elected to con-"""""" gross, /\vas solicitor and prosecuted him. Attorney Hlydrick appealed " the case, arresting 4. electrocution, but, when elected soicitor to suc ceed1 Congressman Mann, he felt a hesitancy in stressing clemency for one who had been his client, though without monetary consider ation. There the case "rested" and the negro remained in prison, Governor Harvey has given a great deal of thought to the mat ter; that there was nothing pro dlucedi at the trial which would. demonstrate the committal of the grave charge charged, particularly the attendant physician's testimony regardiing the physical circum stances surrounding the alleged crime, was demonstrative that It had not been comlmittedi. The most, stated lawyers, .which the negro sho'uld have been convicted of was aggravatedl assault which carries a maximum penalty of six years' imprisonment. TIhere seems to be no loagl means by which the negro can get back into the courts. Since he has beern delving into the case the Governor has received a r etition from citizens of Orange burg county ,asking for clemency, which was signedi by many of th. jurors. Th'le foreman of the jury came in his automobile a distance of fifty miles, to urge the Governor to do something in the case. R. T. Doughty, cashier of the Bank of North, and Carlton 0. Doughty, an eitiploye of the Fedceral Land Bank, Columbia, who were behind the prose cution of Brannum, who lived on their farm, have asked for clemency.
