He pointed out that the aviator might take drink to etide him over," after being exhausted after continuous flying for twelve or fourteen hours.
 T Lieutenant Maynard said that many of the fatal air accidents were due to pilots flying half intoxicated" ur with a hangover from the night be- fore.'
 "A pilot needs every bit of gray matter God gave him in an emergency and to have brain clear from hang overs and the effects of booze is a great asset" he added.

 The first note denies the German de- nies the German demands for modi- 1cation of the treaty on the surrender of Germans charged with crimes against international warfare and the return of prisoners. It agrees to con slider the economic effects of the in demnities required for the sinking of the warships in the Scapa Flow on Germany in "a spirit of equity, after a hearing by the separations com mission"
 l The note warns Germany flor the 1 last time" that denunciation of the armistiee would give the allied armies
 measures, and adds: Tn this spirit we await without delay signature of 1 the protocol and the exchange of notifications. - ! Regarding the coercion clause of the i protocol, the supreme council con sidrs that signature of the protoco l and ratification will make the treaty defective and that the protocols exc cution will be guaranteed by the

NElGHBoR CHARGED WITH
 MURDER OF "BlLLYr DANSEY

Hammdnton. N. J., Dec S.-Charles $. White, next door neighbor of the Dansey family, was arrested late to- day, charged with the murder of Billy Dansey. Miss Edith Jones, Whites housekeeper, was also arrest cd, charged with being an accessory after the fact
 The prisoners were taken quietly out of this town to Mays Landing, where they were locked up in the county jail The detectives brought them in an au- tomobile first to the Ham1nonton town hall where they were formally ar. raigned before d magistrate. who was pledged to silence. No one in the town was aware of the arrests until word was received from Mays Landing to- night.
 The body of year old Billy" Dan i sey was found by hunter in swamp l near here on Nov. 21. The little boy had aisappeared from his home sew erai weeks previously md nation | wide search had been conducted for | him on the eheory that kidnappers were responsible for his vanishing. White is the owner of the "dahlia | farm adjoining. the Dansey farm. He i is 29 years old and the father of
 Charlie" White. the child playmate of | Billy Dansey. The elder White told i the Investigators at the time of Billy's ] disappearance that he had seen the | child in his dahlia fields.
 When the body was discovered Dr.
 Louis R. Seuder, the county physician. 1 who examined it. said that there was 1 no evidence of foul play. but that the ] vital organs and all parts of the body ! which would have aided in disclosing i how the boy died had disappeared. Edmund C. Gaskill, county prose , cutor, declared tonight that he had l sufficient evidence to show that the
 boy was murdered and to clear up the
 mystery surrounding his death He ] refused, however, to give any informa-
 ton as to the grounds on which the warrants were secured against White
 and Miss Jones.
 l The action of the authorities follows
 reports in circulation about a week
 ago that the detectives assigned to the mystery were following a clew which l developed during the inquest. At that | time testimony was submitted by Mrs l White, wife of the prisoner, to the eff | feet that "Billy's' dog Jack had been
 shot in the legs few days before the
 disappearance of the child. The mat l ter was quickly passed over by the
 prosecutor. apparently to avoid arous- l ing suspicious of suspects.
 The reports in regard to this feature
 of the mystery were to the effect that
 the presence of Billy and his dog. l inseparable companions, was ob1ec-
 tlonable to a worker in a dahlia field
 near the Dansey home and that the
 dog had been shot by that individual | The detectives. it is reported, came
 to the conclusion that the person who
 shot the dog possessed knowledge of
 the boys fate. It was believed that he
 might have shot at or kicked at the
 dog and struck Billy instead, in
 ficting. a wound that caused the
 childs death.

the selective service act. They did everything they could to destroy the welfare, the stability and the integri- ty of this government, and the court regards their actions as every bit as bad, every bit as inimical to the gov ernment as were the acts of the com mon enemy. the German empire. Therefore the court declines to grant bail"
 MT. Caffey furnished still another surprise for Miss Goldman by an- nouncing that Jacob A. Kersner, whom she claims to have married in Rochester, N. Y, in 1887. did not die until January of this year. Weinberg CT had argued that the cancellation of Kersner's citizenship by the United States district court at Rochester in 1909 was illegal because Kersner pre- sumably was dead at that time. The only point worthy of consid- eration throughout his entire argu- ment that the deportation would be unconstitutional Judge Mayer told Weinberger, was his claim that Miss Goldman had not been given notice of the decentralization proceedings against Kersner and that the real in- tention of the government was to de- naturalize Emma Goldman by sub terfuge and indirection." | To this United States Attorney Caf- 1 fey replied that Kersner's father had l testified that his son immigrated From | Russia in 1882 and that he was born | in 1865 He was naturalized by the | Monroe County state court at Roch- ester in 1884. The'law provides that an alien must be at least 21 years old and have been in the country at least 1 five years before naturalization. We inberger accused the government ot | lack of fair play in not giving Miss | Goldman chance to prove that l Kersner's father reckoned dates by | the Jewish calendar and had beer
 mistaken about his sons birth and
 the date of his arrival from Russia. | MT. Caffey said that Miss Goldman
 could not have been party to the de naturalization proceedings because the statute only permitted the man upor whom citizenship lad been conferred
 to contest the suit, and that notice had been served on Kersner by pub. l lication.
 She never appealed to have tha l judgment vaca ted even if they were
 married" he said.
 The other contentious of Weinberg
 CT as to the unconstitutionality ot
 deportation were termed by MT. Caf fey frivolous and absurd"
 These claims were: First. that tn anarchy statutes of 1917 and 1918 vi
 plated the first amendment to tn
 United States constitution providing i that congress shall pass no lav abridging freedom of spech or of tn
 press; second. that when his client
 were admitted to the United State
 moro than thirty years ago they wer
 not anarchists and that to deport then
 now would violate ex-post facto in
 hibitions of the constitution: third
 that the government could not depor them to Soviet Russia. as it had an nounced it's plans to do, because tn
 United States has not recognized tn
 Bolsheviki.
