DAUGHERTY HELPS SHIP SUBSIDY Prohibition Ruling! Strengthens Hands! of Ship Owners Who I Seek Subsidy Washington.. Oct. 21. ? Queer thing: thai prohibition should be the deciding: far-tor in- the fate of the pending ship subsidy legisla tion! But that seems to be the status of the ease: and it is even queerer that the same factor should with in a few weeks or months exert both an adverse and a favorable ef fect. To understand the situation, it j should be borne in mind that there ; has been a certain presumption in j favor of the enactment of subsidy I legislation evej since it became j clear that President Harding would I put all the influence of his admin j i*tration behind it. This meant ? that without. the interposition of Isome unusual or extraordinary force j in opposition, the opposition bas | ed on partisan grounds or on sin j cere conviction against the sub sidy principle would be overcome, i This condition in all probabili | ty would have resulted in the j passage of the ship subsidy bill, at j least by the house of representa tives, before . the recent adjourn iment if it had not developed that ' liquor was being sold freely on the I high, seas on American vessels op erated by the shipping board. This information, which was easily ver ified, exploded like a bombshell in the subsidy camp. A hundred Re publicans who were for subsidy, other' things being equal, were too sincerely prohibitionists or too much afraid of the prohibition vote to take any chances in helping to grant a bounty to shipping which included the sale of liquor- So the administration was afraid to bring jthe measure to a test as long as j this disturbing condition existed, j . In the interim between congres isional sessions, the attorney gen teral has rendered his sweeping '.opinion that no ships, American or 'foreign, can legally carry liquor 1 within the three-mile limit of j American territory, continental or .insular, and that no liquor can le 1 gaily be carried anywhere under !the American flag except for medi Ical purposes, under strict regula tions. Thus American shipping is jmade as dry as the American main land, and probably drier. The decision goes, even further ithan most of the prohibitionists had dared to hope, and certainly a Igood deal farther than. they, ex ipected. Whatever may be the..ul timate conclusion of the eourts as io the legality of applying the. same jconfiscatory terms to foreign ships has we are applying to onr own !shipping, the administration will j unquestionably be able to enforce :the Daugherty ruling .as far as ? ships under the American .flag. ar-"> concerned. . . )? , Therefore,, when the next session j of. congress is at hand, the sub sidists will expect their ranks to j be augmented by an important eon Jtingent of dyed-in-the-wool Repub ! 1 ican. prohibitionists who will wisn ]io reward the administration for I throwing John Barleycorn . pver j board. Aside from the merits or [demerits of the subsidy bill, which Iis bound to encounter determined .j antagonism in. both branches of : congress and to . suffer consider able amendment in .the senate, ; there is no doubt that John Bar ! ley corn hitherto has .been the real \ Jonah of the measure. As long as j he was on board, the. bill was I (loomed. If any whale lias swal j DOINGS OF THE DUFFS )ow<d him. it will retain him much l<?ng*T than three days unless il wishes to "get the harpoon*' from ??very advocate of subsidy. COLLETON SHERIFF SETTLES Columbia, Oct.- 20.?-What effect the settlement by Ex-Sheriff Ack erman of Colleton county, of the alleged shortage in his tax-collec tion books, will have on the crim inal prosecution now pending against him. is not known. Gov ernor Harvey is out of the city and no statement could be secured from him today. The matter, however, will probably rest with court officials in Colleton county. Sheriff Ackerman was indicted by the grand jury of his county, on a charge of malfeasance in of fice, the charge being made ?l*at his hooks were short several thou sand dolkirs. On the strength of the indictment; the governor sus pended him and appointed in his place Major .John I'.lack. of VTal terboro. as an interim apjjoint ment. The comptroller general sent an auditorto Colleton and the books of the office were decked. It was found that the ^difference be tween , moneys collected by the sheriff from tax executions and the amounts paid to the 'county treasurer was 4,357.74. The sher iff immediately gave his check for the amount, and the county treas urer's receipt was submitted as part of the report to the comp troller general. The ex-sheriff has all along denied that his books were short. ?' V FOR TH? ft?U?* <$F WHOOPING COUGHT, HOARSENESS -sou* ev?*ywh?*?f COLUMBIA GAS RATE CASE Statesboro. Ca.?
