SHIPS AND BOOZE
BEFORE COURTS
Washington, Oct. 12 (By the Associated
Press).?Issuance by Federal
Judge Hand iu New York of a temporary
order restraining prohibition
% and customs agents from enforcing!
the liquor ban against Vessels of the
American line was accepted today in
government circles as effectively
bringing before the courts the question
of the authority of the governmental*
this respect.
Failure of counsel for the British
owned Canard and Anchor lines to
obtain a similar order was expected
to lead to renewal of their petition
either in New York or some other
federal judicial district with a mora
detailed showing of the damages
which, they allege, would result from
operation of Attorney General Daugherty's
interpretation of jhe liquor
statutes.
Promulgation of regulations by
Secretary Mellon to carry out the
terms of the liquor ruling was expected
to be automatically postponed
by the effect of Judge Hand's action.
The initial drafts of these regulations
were laid before Secretary Mellon
today, but it was indicated that
several material changes were, in his
opinion, desirable before they could
be officially, approved and distributed
to enforcement agents.
An important phase of enforcement
still under discussion was whether
foreign vessels, convicted of violation
of the "transportation section"
of the Volstead act, wouM be amenable
to the forfeiture pena'ty imposed
by that section. Attorney General
thragherty ruled formally that in
such cs^es the ship, whether palatial
> T ittar or a coastal tramp, ^ would bel
liable to seizure and sale by the government.
Secretary MelK n, however,
indicated that such dras 'c measures

BONDS ARE CLOSER
BETWEEN NATIONS

the work of the Sulgrave'institutior
in fostering friendship between Greal
Britain and the United States wai
paid ^y Secretary of War Weeks to
day in accepting on behalf of th<
United States the statue of Edmunc
Burke, presented to the people of thii
country by the institution.
Americans and English who have
the best interests of their countries
at heart should enthusiastically indorse
and support every means ul
preventing misunderstanding be
tween the United States and Greal
Britain and bringing to closer friend
ship the people of these two great
nations," said Mr. Weeks. "This it
the task to which the Sulgrave insti
tution has dedicated itself in which
it is admirably succeeding."
The bonds of friendship which hav<
maintained peace between the two

wuiiw ico mr more man iuu years
were recalled by two officials of bolti
England and America when twv,
statues of distinguished Britons, botti
friends of this country, were unveiled,
the gifta of the institution. The!
statue of Burke, friend of the colonists
in the trying days of the Revo
lution was unveiled in a city park,
and a bust of the late Viscount James
Briee, long British ambassador to
Washington, was unveiled in a corridor
of the capitol. Both bronzes
were presented by Sir Charles Wakefield,
former lord mayor of London.
Chief Justice Taft accepted for this
country the gift of the Bryce memorial.
"America has never had two stronger
friends than Burke and Bi*ycev"
Secretary Weeks declared, "and cer
tainly they understood America and
ita ideals and aspirations better thar
most Englishmen of their respectivt
.imes. Lord Bryce was probably better
known to the people of the United
States than any other British subject
of our time. Edmund Burke died 12E
years ago. He nev.er visited America
and there was 110 particular reason
ctrrumny as iar as any otnciai position
was concerned, why he should
have given our affairs any unusual
attention. Although a loyal British
subject, no American who baa read
history can ever forget the service
htk rendered our .country in the dam
of our Kress and his endeSwel
see that our forefathers received jus
tice at the hands of the British government."

<1 CLIFFORD HAYES .
L GIVEN FREEDOM
, IJew Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 12 (By
, the Associated Press). ? The case
t against. Clifford Hayes, who was held
, tour days as the slayer of the Rev.
. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
, Eleanor Rhhiehardt Mills, blew up
I with a boom today, and the authoiii
ties turned back in their investigation
to theories that provided a more loj?,
ieal motive for the double crime.
, The blow up came when Raymond
. Schneider, Hayes' accuser, summoned
Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset
. county to the jaiy at Somerville,
. where Schneider was held as a ma?
terial witness, and repudiated his entire
story of the crime. The authorU
! ties immediately renewed their investlCAtinna
nf lonrla toUkIi
( caflded when Schneider's statement
led them to declare they had solved
the case.
The new turn took them back to
Ihe home of Mrs. Francis Stevens
Hall, wid^jv of the slain clergyman,
and to thff; of James Mills, widower
of the slain choir singer?
Detectives visited the Hall home
and took away a fawn colored coat
i nd scarf which she had had dyed in
Philadelphia since the murders. They
sent it, to an analytical chemist for
' an analysis of brown spots which the
Philadelphia cleaners reported were
beneath the black dye they had applied.
Mrs. Hall is known to have worn
a light colored coat in the early
morning of September lft?the morning
after the murders?when, according
to her story, she went to the
Church of St. John the Evangelist,
j looking for her missing husband. She
has told the authorities her eccentric
' brother, Willie Stevens, accompanied
her to the church and back. Wit'
nessea who saw her return home de.
! clare she returned alone at about
j ^ :80 a. m.
Detective Fitzpatrick, who went for
; 1he garments, reported thai Mrs. Hall
' acted "peevish" when he demanded
1 them. Mrs. Hall's lawyer, however,
> issued a statement saying Mrs. Hall
' was'glad to surrender them, though
' the action came "rather late."
' James Mills, church sexton and
1 husband of the slain choir singer, was'
State tfbopers, who have become
- increasingly active on the case, let
it be known that one of the theories
now entertained is that the slayings
were perpetuated by a party of four
?three men and one woman?who
traveled in two automobiles. Witi
nesses told, soon after the slaying*
- were discovered, of hearing shots and
- screams in the vicinity of the Phil
lipj farm and of seeing two automos
biles dash down the road toward New
- Brunswick.
1 Unconfirmed reports reached here
- from Philadelphia today that the gold
/ watch removed fi-om the minister's
r pocket had been found in a Philapel*
phia pawnshop.
Authorities made inquiries by long
distance telephone and were informed
that a gold watch had shown up in
| a mysterious manner in a pawnshop
I there, but that there was nothing to
connect it with Mr. Hall. Detective
Collins went to Philadelphia to check
r up on the watch and also to seek further
information from the dyeing and
3 cleaning firm, which did Mrs. Hall's
s work.

Show Men Call Union Unique
One of the mentravelling with
Sparks Circus said Union was quite
a unique little city and wnen asked
in what way he thought it unique, he
said, "Why, your people never applaud
or show any feeling when the
seals perform or the bareback riders
do wonderful stunts." The Times representative
agreed with him for one
time during the war the governor of
South Carolina rode through the
streets of Union during a Liberty
Loan drive, and not a cheer went up,
not a hand clap. The show man was
right there but he said further, "Your
people are the politiest I e\ ? saw,
even the small boy and girl say,
"Thank you," for favors. A little tot
stumbled and fell at the show ground
and when lifted to her feet by a show
man, said, "Thank you so much," and
The Times delivery boys who were
given passes to the show thanked the
muimrer fnr tho wmrtim on/I V?? onizl
that had never happened before in
the history of his experience with the
show.
Isn't it fine to be unique in saying
"Thank you," even if we sit still and
do not applaud? We stand out in
the eyes of Sparks circus and when
thinking it over, we are unique.

steamer City of Honolulu, which was!
abandoned at 10:10 a. m. today, are;
safe, according to wireless advices received
by the Federal Telegraph
company from the freight steamer
West Faralon.
Fire broke out aboard the City of J
Honolulu this morning and spread so)
rapidly that all those aboard had to)
take to small boats. The sea was)
smooth when the ship was abandoned.
The ship was homeward bound to:
San Pedro, tel., from Honolulu and,
was 1,405 miles east of Honolulu and:
070 miles southwest of San Pedro!
when the fire started.
Capt. H. R. Lester of the City of,
Honolulu reported late in the afternoon
that all were aboard the West1
Faralon. The condition of tre City,
of Honolulu was reported as a gigantic
pillar of flame and smoke and was
declared by Captain Lester to be critical.

when it started to the rescue shortly,
before noon.
Conditions were favorable both for!
the small boats of the City of Honolulu
to ride safe and for the West',

LABOR DRAFTING
IN TIME OF WAf
Cleveland* O. Oct. 12.?(By the As
sociatcd Press).?Drafting of all la
bor, from banker to laberer, in wa
time, advocated by Col. 1* H. Rugglci
of the United?*States ordnance depart
ment, and" announced by William S
Culberson, vice chairman of the Unit
ed States tariff commission, of ai
order by President Harding that al
requests under the flexible provisioi
of the tariff law for a change ii
rates should be filed with the com
mission, featured tonight's session o
the American Mining congresb.
"When the drafting of labor a
home is mentioned it should not b<
understood to apply only to manua
laborers, frequently referred to ai
workers," Colonel Ruggleg declared
"It should include every male citizei
physically and mentally capable o:
service in the defense of his country
If we can draft men's lives, we cer
tainly can draft their business dur
ing an emergency. Such a plai
should be of universal application
It should apply to the banker as wel
ua to the laborer. Each man wouh
be required to keep at the work as
signed to him as a soldier must staj
on his job.
"There ^ould be no striking foi
higher wages, no absence withou'
leave; no quitting on the job to g<
around the block and hold up anothei
agency for higher wages.
"The conditions of the universe]
draft would have to be worked ou
carefully; wages and profits woul<
have to be frozen at figures obtain
ing when war is declared; adjust,
menu, of course, would be worked ou
in exceptional cases, such as higl
cost of production of certain neede<
materials, which could not be pro
duced economically in the amount
required in times of peace; arrange
ments for just and moderate compen
sation of owners of plants and papi
tal would have to be devised.
"The benefits of such an universa
draft not only in speeding up the pro
duction of munitions and other ne
cessities in time of national dangei
but in hastening the return to nor
ma Icy when the war is over, are s<
great that the though deserves th
most earnest consideration of all pa
