BONA EIDE SHIPMENT 0F LIQUOR MAY BE MADE AFTER JULY 1.

"There is no change in the state law regarding the shipments of liquor. and it is up to Judge Robert N. Bell, Uni- ted States district attorney, to pass on all matters pertaining to interstate shipment" This was the statement made yesterday by Solicitor Hugo L.. Black in reference to the question as to whether liquor shipments already in the state could be delivered after July 1.
 The solicitor believes the express companies are prohibited by the i'm terstate commerce law from handling liquor after July 1, but declined to give an official opinion.
 The question involved is whether a bona -fide order for liquor shipment made before the so-cal1ed "bone-dry" law goes into effect and not deliv- cred then can be held by the. express company subject to delivery to the consignee after July 1.
 Judge Bell when asked for an opin- ion on the subject stated that in his opinion any shipment that was bona fide and that did not conflict with the state laws could be delivered by the express company after July 1.

CENSORSHIP SHOULD BE MUDDLED, SAYS
 LORD NORTHCL|FFE
Englishman Here to Direct Work of Co-Operation
 Hopes Government Will Not MuzzIe the Press

New York, June 2S.-Lord Northcllffe in an address to magazine editors and writer's at luncheon here today, ex- pressed the hope that the United States would not muddle the censorship as Eng land did the first three years of the war.
 America can and will do a tremendous part in this war. first, because she is afresh and, second, because she nndoubt- edly will profit by the mistakes of the nations who have been fighting since Au- gust, 1914" said Lord Northcliffe. What the war needs more than anything else is brains and speed.
 "I trust the United States will not make the censorship blunder that England made and which is just becoming evil of the past England was kept in the dark for nearly three years. The people were blinded by the fatuous optimism of sol- diers and politicians who. while efficient in peace, were incompetent in war The people were not permitted to know the truth and when the truth finally emerged out of costly blunders and sacrifice they were loath to accept it.
 "I hope that America may permit her newspaper and magazine writers to be absolutely frank about what is going on. It is as important for the nation to know the worst as it is for the nation to know the best. For one thing-and we have found it out from actual experence-it is great stimulus for the men fighting in the field to know that they are being written about at home and that the coun- try knows precisely what they are doing.

Three Societies Secede
 From Zionist Convention

Baltimore, June 2S.-Representatives of three Zionist societies in con stitutional convention called by the provisional executive committee for general Zionist affairs, seeded from the convention. today. While Justice Louis D. Brandeis, leader of American Zionism, watched from a box. the three groups arose and filed out. Later one of them, the Order of the Sons of Zion, headed by Josepf Barondess. commissioner of education in New York, came back, but announced that it would take no part in the legislation. The Orders of Mizrachi. conservatives. and the Poals Zion. radicals. were the other seces- sionists
 The fight was based on resolutions calculated to provide an administra- tion committee. Mr. Barondess wanted representation for the Sons of Zion, but Secretary Louis Lipsky ruled. that the Sons of Zion was not a separate entity and Rabbi Stephen $. Wise, president of the provisional commit tee sustained him.
 Finally Secretary Lipsky moved that
 Then came the other secessions. Rabbi Wise said:
 If these secessionists do not return the orders which they represent will not sustain them. We have refused to tie the hands of the provisional committee or to say that certain groups shall have a certain place in Zionism. Zionism must come first and parties afterward."

NO DEFINITE PLANS MADE ID CONTROL ANY SINGLE STAPLE This Is the Statement of Mir. Hoover Following Report From Chicago as to
 Wheat

Chicago, June 28.-Governmen plans for food control, according to state ment given out here today by Presi- dent Griffin, of the Board of Trade, include absolute control of the wheat trade in all it's commercial aspects. There can be no speculation in it. Buying and selling of other grains for present or future delivery will be unrestricted.

 T regret" he said. "that any state- ment should be issued as to any mat ters discussed in preliminary confer ences which have been held between ourselves and the various trades in the country. At present there is TO plan that can be settled by the food administration and all discussions are of tentative order and may be sub ject to radical change at any time. During these discussions the sub jects have been necessarily approached from many angles and as to which or what nI.hod may be adopted cannot be determined until the food admin istration has been set up by Congress and until adequate consideration can be given to every complexion of the subiect'

RICHMOND SCOUTS
 ! TREATED UNF A|RLY BY THE TRUCKERS
Order Given for Thousand Boys Who Went to Har- vest Crop to Come
 Home

Richmond, Va, June 2S.-Nearly 1OOt
 Virginia Boy Scouts who went to the
 eastern shore to help harvest the potato crop, have been ordered home because
 they were forced to remain idle without ray when the truckers decided to tenn porarily halt the harvesting.
 John Stewart Bryan, president of the
 Richmond council. and Allan Potts, act ing for General Bell, commander of the eastern department of the United States army, went to the scene to investigate reports that the boys were receiving bad treatment, but Fairfax c. Jones' scout
 official, declared tonight that the prin- cipal complaint was that the boys had answered the cry of the truckers for help and then were unable to make expenses in the fields.
 MT. Jones said the boys met discourag- ing conditions when they reached the shore last Thursday because proper preparations had not been made for them, but that this quickly was remedied
 He said the boys had been promised 1s cents barrel for picking potatoes and had been assured they could pick 2t barrels each a day. Unsteady it was found that they could gather only It
 barrels and with an expense account of about $15Oo, the boys earned only $496
 Last Wednesday, it was said, the
 truckers organization issued an order that harvesting cease for a week, appar- ently because of glutted markets in the
 east. MT. Bryan requested that the
 boys expenses be paid. but the truckers declined. The order for the boys to
 return home followed.
 John Stewart Bryan, who is still on the eastern shore with the Boy Scouts, telegraphed the following
 message tonight from Cape Charles: "The experience of the past week and the fuller understanding of what was involved in the situation made 1t plain to everyone that nothing could be done but abandon the eastern shore. As has been pointed out, the scouts only received Is cents per bar rel at two camps and an investiga- tion seems to show that 20 or 25 cents per barrel was being paid by farmers to negro labor.
 Doubtless the farmers of the east : ern shore spoke in good faith when they declared that boys could readily earn from $2.5O to $3 day. Perhaps they can, but the farmers own chill dren do not attempt it for themselves and they don't have to, for two coun ties raise 100000 barrels of potatoes and sell them at $9 a barrel. It is the eastern shore farmer and not the city dweller who is the plutocrat to- day.

LAWRENCE r. BROWN IS FIRST ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
Martin Names ScOttsbOro Man When Governor Would Not Extend
 Contract

Montgomery, June 2s.-(SpeciaL)-Al- though Governor Henderson declined to approve an extension of the contract of Lawrence E. Brown of Scottsboro, as special assistant attorney general, Will liam L. Martin, attorney general, Thurs day announced that MT. Brown on July l would become first assistant attorney general and would remain in the depart ment throughout the present administra- ton. MT. Brown was employed by spe- cial contract through the period ending July 1
 Attorney General Martin requested the governor several weeks ago to approve an extension which would carry the con tract through the present term, but the governor declined supposedly on the ground that the condition of the state would not permit the payment of the salary and on the further ground that his services were not necessary The attorney general declined to say what specific reasons were given by Governor Henderson for declining to extend the contract, but it is understood several in- teresting letters have passed between the executive department and the legal department during the past few days.
 MT. Brown in his new position will suc- ceed Harwel G. Davis of Gadsden, who resigned two months ago to enter the off, ficers' training camp at Fort McPherson. The attorney general still has authority to name another assistant attorney gem eral, which is provided by statute. How ever, it is improbable that this authority will be used, as the work can be done with the attorney general MT. Brown and Perry w. Turner, who has con- tract as special assistant attorney gen. eral running throughout MT. Martin s term. This contract bears the approval of Governor Henderson.

bERKMAN REbUKED
 BY COURT WHEN HE
 ASKS QUESTIONS
Judge Warns Socialist on Trial His Play Acting Will No Longer Be
 Allowed

New York, June 2S.-Alexander Berk-
 man, anarchist. was sharply rebuked by
 Judge Mayer in the United States dis
 trict court here today when Berkman re-
 sumed the examination of talesmen fol
 the jury that will hear the testimony in
 his trial and that of Emma Goldman. on
 charges of conspiring to hamper the oper-
 ations of the selective draft.
 "I am not going to let you take inter-
 minable time to examine jurors,' said Judge Mayer, after Berkman had pro
 pounded questions to which the prosecu-
 ton objected. as it had yesterday. T
 will not stand any more nonsense nor any
 more delays Let us have no more act
 ing'
 Would you believe it to be a lawfu lution?" Berkman had asked one man.
 We are not going into trade discus. sions of revolutions here.'' said the court in sustaining the objection of the prose cution.
 Were any of your fathers or grand. fathers signers of the Declaration of In. dependence?" was the next question put by Berkman. There was laugh. Miss Goldman was then permitted tt examine the talesmen. Her questions in cluded:
 |- Would you be prejudiced against thu defendants to know that Emma Goldman had devoted a large part of her life tt the emancipation of women?'' Do you believe in woman's equality with man?"
 Would you be prejudiced against Elm ma Goldman if it came out in the tria that she advocated birth control for tho poor?'
 Judge Mayer allowed the questions tt stand as fair.
 The courtroom was closely guarded by secret service agents and only persons with passes were permitted to enter. 4 large crowd gathered on the outside and one woman who was said to be a fol. lower of Miss Goldman, broke her um, brella over the head of a deputy United states marshal when she was refused ad. mission.

New York; July 2s.-A duel result ing from the murder of Frank Caselli, who was killed by his companions last Monday in Boston because he swal- lowed a $20 bill as they were di- viding the spells of another murder and robbery, was fought in a Westside rooming house here today.

The other two returned to New York and quarreled. over whether they should remain here or go west. Caselli, the police were told by Abruzzo, fired the first shot and then they clinched, us- ing their knives.

Petrograd. June 2S.-In connection with the great demonstration that has been ar ranged for next Sunday by the congress
 of councils of deputies in honor of the
 victims of the revolution, all moderate,
 law-abding citizens are assembling for the defense of the provisional government.
 EVIDENCE ACCUMULATING During the last few days evidence has been accumulating that the members of the extreme right have combined with the anarchists and members. of the BolL isheviki faction to utilize the demonstra- tion for the purpose of a counter revo- lution in the cause of reaction. The first
 sign of this was given yesterday when Alexis Souvorn, a well-known newspaper man, and others appealed for a demon stration against Premier Lvoff and his replacement by Admiral Kolchaw former commander of the Black sea feet who is in disgrace with the government Some of the agitators have been arrested but
 others favoring a counter revolution are
 still active.
