A Success
Despite the inclement (though
badly needed) weather of yesterday
>. / the U. D. C. "Pink Tea" given at the
^ lovely residence of Mrs. F. M. Farr,
president of Wm. Wallace chapter,
proved a most enjoyable affair. A
program of readings, vocal and instrumental
music entertained the
guests who assembled in quite a number.
At the happy suggestion of a
member of the chapter all gathered
round the piano, after the program,
and sang old-time songs?"Dixie,"
"Swanee River," "Old ^Black Joe,"
"Tenting Tonight," etc. Delicious
punch and wafers were serv-xi
throughout the afternoon.
The chapter members were pleased
and gratified at the neat sum realized^for
the fund to finish the Jefferson
Davis monument at his birthplace
at Fairview, Ky., which will be
the second highest monument in the
world. The Washington monument at
Washington, D. C., being the highest.
The Wm. Wallace chapter has responded
generously to every call made
by the general organization and has
forged ahead the past year in all
phases of the work. The chapter now
numbers 152 members. It is the second
largest chapter in the state,
Charleston being first with 275 members.

DOUBLE MURDER C
REMAINS MYSTERY
New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 6.?By
> an intensive investigation of several cii
' of the earliest clues discovered in the ar
' double shooting of the Rev. Edward fr
Wheeler Hall end Mrs. James Mills, er
wife of the church sexton, state and te:
county authorities announced tonight m<
1 they had constructed a frame work ed
on which they expected the entire ju
case to hinge. or
This frame work, the authorities cr
said, consists of four cardinal ques- be
tions to be put to Mrs. Hall and Jan-es
Mills when they are summoned for co
^questioning, which probably will be wi
tomorrow. ne
The first of the questions which wj
the authorities say they wish to clear pj,
up is the exact number of times Ri
which Mills met Mrs. Hall on the day T1
before the discovery of the bodies of an
the rector and Mrs. Mills in the Som- cy
erset county orchard. Mills had said se]
thai he met Mrs. Hall four times on
this day, first early in the morning ce]
at the church, twice at his own home Uq
and once at her home. Mrs. Hall, as
detectives said, has told them that ahe po
saw Mills but once?and this was at ^
the church.
The second question concerns the
statement of William Phillips, nignt th(
watchman of the New Jersey State
College for Women, that the woman te]
in the polo coat, who' entere^ the Aj
Hall home early on the morning after en
the .double shooting, was unaccom- ,
panied. Mrs. Ha4l, who has admitted
she is the woman .to whom Phillips ^
refers, has declared that she was ac- .
companled by her brother, William aJ
Stevens. 4
The third question is why Mrs. 1
Hall failed to make any declaration
of the large sum of money found in f1
Hall's home and the fourth is why
neither she nor Mills in their que*- ^
tioning by Somerset county authorities
made any statement of the close 801
friendship and interest which the w<
rector and Mrs. Mills had shown in a 1
each other. tir
The most important new discovery, ^
which was made in the systematic
question of members of the church 88
choir and persons living near the *n
church today, was the Ending of what by
detectives called the "love-fence. "L
This was a special chicken and de
Mills to build about a shed in the Pi
rear of the church. Detectives suid Di
they were informed by persons living: Se
near the church that on occasions they ke
had seen Hall and Mrs. Mills leave wt
the church separately by a door re:
and go to this shed. The bai!6?l wire tei
barrier, the detectives said, prevent- St
ed any one from approaching the shed
from the rear. pli
Col. N. A, Swartzcops, commander ex
of the New Jersey state police, for ex
the first time today participated in pr
the investigation. Besides. Phillips, ini
the authorities requestioned Mrs. Ben- <ie<
iamin Vogt, one of the women who ea:
has reported hearing two automobiles Ui
racing along Eastern avenue after the tri
shooting is believed to have occurred. fQ1
"We know something about thes.> Cai
automobiles," was th? only statement
which Prosecutor Sticker would maj.e |n
after the questioning of Mrs. Vogt.

JIVES DECISION
REGARDING BOOZ1
Washington, Oct. 6 (By the Assc
ated Press).?All vessels, America
id foreign owned, are prohibite
om 'laving liquor on board in Air
ican territorial waters under an in
rpretation of the prohibition amend
ent and the enforcement act hand
down today by the department o
sice. Moreover, the transportatio
sale of intoxicants on America:
aft, wherever operated, was held t
inhibited.
American territorial waters wer
nstrued to include those not onl;
thin the three mile limit of conti
ntal United tSates, but also thos
thin the same limit of the Philip
ties, the Hawaiian Islands, Puert
co, the Virgin Islands and Alasks
le law would not apply in the Pan
ia Canal Zone aB that zone is ape
ically exempted by the statute it
If.
So far as American ships are con
rned, the sale or transportation o
[uor will cease at once, or as sooi
those vessels reach their hom<
rts. In the case of foreign ships
s decision will become operative a
on as the necessary regulation
n be prepared and promulgated b;
e treasury department.
Court action looking to a final de
rmination of the application a
nerican dry laws to foreign ship
tering American ports was forseei
both Attorney General Daughert:
d Chairman Lasker of the shippin]
ard. Mr. Daugherty said he ha<
ready been advised that a case wa
out to be filed which would brinj
e issue to the supreme court.
Chairman Lasker was of the opin
\ that the first move of foreign
tes would be to seek an injunctioi
straining the government from en
rcing the law. He said it was rea
Dable to suppose that the court
>uld grant such an injunction witl
result that foreign ships would con
me .to arrive with liquor on boari
til there was a final decision by th
?hest court. The attorney genera
id his department would cooperat
every effort t o expedite a rulinj
the supreme court.

mgherty, Secretary Hughes ani
cretary Mellon and Chairman Las
r. Various phases of the situatioi
?re discussed, including the posslbl
suits of enforcement upon the In
rnational relations of the Unites
ates.
High administration officials ex
ained there was no course for th
ecutive branch of the governmen
cept to enforce the law as inter
eted by the legal department. Thi
:erpretation was based upon recen
cisions of the supreme court in i
Be involving: the authority of th<
rited States to interfere with thi
insfer of a liquor cargo from oni
reign shff) to another in an Ameri
n port.

SUN BATTLE IN
MOONSHINE RAID
State, federal and Lexington coun'
officers were fired upon by moonliners
in Lexington county early
is week as they were approaching

in thought to have been seriously
tot, according to reports brought
i Columbia yesterday by the officers.
The officers were nearing a still
id those in charge evidently knew
e booze sleuths were in the vicinV
as they had removed the still from
e furnace and assumed a belligerit
attitude. One negro opened fire
ith a shotgun, but one shot went
itray. The negro's fire was rerned,
buckshot being used. The
tgro's fire was returned, buckshot
ting used. The negro made his espe
and was never found, but the
Seers were advised yesterday that
i was ijft a critical condition. One
her negro was seen and others may
ive been at the still, but if they
ere, they escaped. The officers did
it know the name of the wounded
igro
As the officers were approaching
e still they ran across a rattlelake
that objected to their progress
id guns were necessary to quell it.
is probable, the officers say, that
e men operating the still heard the
in shots as the rattler was being
lied and were therefore prepared
r the visit of the raiders.
In addition to the still captured at
e scene of the shooting three other
itfits were taken by the officers. All
e raids were in the Pelion section,
iree of the stills were large ones,
bile the other was not so big.
In Aiken county Thursday, federal,
ate and Aiken county officers locat1
a big outfit about 20 miles from

as first found no one was around
id wishing to see who was conductg

waited developments. About 11

upon the scene. They were
lmediately arrested, the officers said,

AVIATORS MAKE
NEW AIR RECORD
i
San Diego, Cal., Oct. 6.?Lieuta.
John A. Mac Ready and Oakley Kelly,
who had been flying over San Diego
since 6:56 yesterday in the monoplane
T-2, landed at Rockwell field at
5:11:30 today, having broken all records
for sustained flight in a heavier
than air flying machine. They were
in the air 35 hours, 18 minutes, 30
seconds.
The aviators were well tired out
but willing, they said, to have continued
their flight except for their
desire to reach the ground before
darkness should make landing more
difficult.
'The landing of the big plane was
the signal for a mighty chorus of
whistles from the vessels in the
harbor. When ?he airmen circled
(own to the field a small army of
spectators was waiting to greet them.
Capt R G Erwin, commandant of
Rockwell field, soon after the flight
ended gave out the time the aviators
had been aloft as 35 hours, 18 minutes,
30 seconds. The official time of
,) * -i ?? ?4. J
ucjmitutc jrcoiCi uojr vrun act uuwu ill
the Rockwell field record as 5:63 a.
m. in stead of 5:56 a. m., as unofficially
given out, and the time of the
landing today was given officially as
5:11:30 p. m.
The aviators were begrimed with
oil and grease when they stepped
from the big machine in which they
had remained aloft, circling over the
city for virtually two days and a
night. That did not stop Mrs. Benjamin
MacReady, mother of the
aviator, from rushing to greet her
son. She kissed him full on his
grimy cheek and when she turned
around, smiling gladly, her lips were
black with grease and oil.
Lieuts. MacReady and Killy joined
in making the following statement:
"It was the wonderful Liberty moto
which kept ur up. There is no
question that this flight proved the
motor to be the best and most efficient
in the world. It is due to the development
of army aviation. The primary
purpose of the test, it should be eaid
was to test the motor in the United
States army transport T-2, and the
result was all that could be expected.
"We are going to make the flight
ffwvm San Diego to New J?oiic in. November
and we are confident that we
shall be successful."
Come to the High I
School Monday Night
t
ine nrst concert 01 tne lyceum
course will be given in the high school
Monday night nt 8:15. This is the
Lewis Concert company and a delightful
program is in store for those who
attend.
There will be six numbers in this
course and arrangements have been
made so that none will be in Union
during the Gipsy Smith meeting.
Madam Bnschi and company is another
number, and this alone is worth
the season's ticket. Madam Baschi is
a Roumanian artist and has sung in
grand opera in all the European capitals.
Union is indeed fortunate in
including this number in their course
and it was just because she was to go
to a number of other places in this
part of the state, that we were able
to get this in.
Buy your ticket now and help tne
committee put this over in Union, and
don't wait for each number and thedoby
save several dollars on the course.
Y. P. M. S. of Green Street
The Y. P. M. S. of Green Street
made a call at the county home Sunday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock and
l ad a devotional service. Through the
kindness of the superintendent, Mr.
and Mrs. Willard, everything was in
readiness for us and the inmates were
eager to see the young people arrive.
Many of them had their choice songs
selected and the young people sang
for them with a heart full of love the
oia time songs 01 tneir youtniui aays.
It was a blessing and inspiration, too,
to bring these young and the old together
for worship. To the young it

NOTHING DEFINITE
FROM MUDANIA
Constantinople, Oct. 6 (By the Associated
Press).?Although no definite
news has yet been received from Muuania,
where the allied representatives
have gone again to renew their
conference with the envoys of the
Turkish Nationalist government, at
midnight -tonight there was u distinct
current of optimism among the allien
diplomats here regarding a possib:->
successful outcome of the negotiations.
This feeling prevailed, notwithstanding
that the Kemalists today issued
an ultimatum to the allies, demanding
their consetat to Turkish occupation
of Thrace and the previous
rejection by the Kemalists of the proposals
for the sending of allied
troops and the establishment of an
allied control commission in the province.
The ultimatum regarding the
evacuation of Thrace at frst demanued
a reply by 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
Later the time was extended
to 6:3f> o'clock this evening, and still
later to 8 o'clock. Meantime the idlied
generals had sailed f<L* Mudania.
Dispatches received during the day
from London and Paris seemed to indicate
that th.> French and British
governments still were seeking
ground for an agreement upon which
they could again face the Turkish delegates
with a united front. The feeling
among the British here was summarized
by a staff officer this evening
as follows:
"We showed a willingness to go to
any honorable length to avoid a rupture.
If our pacific advances are no'
acceptable or are not reciprocated,
we are ready for eventualities."
French opinion here was inclined
to criticise M. Franklin-Bouillon for
injecting himself into the conferen .<
at Mudania, on the ground that the
conference was no place for a civilian
and a. politician.
"Military men can get along together,"
said a French colonel, "but
one politician makes a muddle of a
whole roomful of mere soldiers."
Moat of the Italians here expressed
! regret over orders received from
Borne directing General Mombelli, the
Italian representative at Mudania, to
Support the Turkish claims. General
Mombellis sturdy attitude at Thuicdayls
wasting at Mudania won for ;
h\m admiration in many quarters and
was the basis for a sudden springing
up of a friendship between the Italians
and English in Constantinople.
An announcement received from
London that former Premier Veni>eyos
is willing to have the Greek
troops evacuate eastern Thrace, thus
permitting the early establishment rf
a Turkish civil administration there,
was considered as offering a way out
of the present crisis, but the belief
prevailed that the Kemalists would
adhere to their expressed intention
not to permit the presence in Thrace
of allied control commissions.
