2 SUSPECTS ARRESTED
IN DONAHUE MURDER
Crime Is Attributed to Case
Iene Thieves.

DANBURY, Conn. Nov. 9.--Few new
details in connection with the shooting
OF Arthur V. Douahue. a New York
newspaper reporter. on the outskirts of
the village of Newtown Saturday night
were brought cut during the inquest this
afternoon by Coroner John J. Phelan of
Bridgeport.
A highway inspector, however. said
that that night thirty-nine gallons OF
gasolene were stolen from a tank close
by the scene of the shooting. The State
police theory has been that the two men
who were the assailants had been steal
ing gasolene. The unlighted car which
Donahue and his brother-in-law, Ed
ward +. Pitzschler, had found in the
road held number of milk cans from
which there was gasolene odor.
Early to-day at Bridgeport State Of
ficers arrested Max Kranz OF that city
and Joseph Roach of Danbury on sus-
picion. They were brought here and
held without bail for one week on the
technical charge of breach of the peace.
Neither was at the inquest, although
Pitzschler told the Coroner that he was
certain he could identify the man who
shot Donahue.

COURT RULING WON'T

Already Registered, Says
Dry Agent Here.
NO HOPE FOR RUM CLUBS
Stocks in Bond to Be Watched
Carefully Against Illegal
Sales.

Persons who thought they saw hope
and sunshine in the decision of the
United States Supreme Court ruling that
a citizen who has liquor stored in
warehouse may move It to his dwelling
were disappointed when officials declared
yesterday that the decision will not help
anybody VINO hoped TO use it for Illegal
ends.
ton agent for this district. pointed out
that the owner of liquor in storage must
have filed affidavit of his ownership by
February 10, 1920. Under the law, Mi
Boyd said, all private liquor stored when
prohibition came in had to be made a
matter of record by affidavit. and it will
be impossible. even under the latest court
ruling, for any sale of liquor in storage
or bonds to be made now.
Mr.. Boyd also discouraged the hope
that supper clubs WIZ spring UP to
which members may repair to refresh
themselves A man, Mr., Boyd pointed
out must live at his club to keep liquor
there. He win go after all clubs where
members do not conform to this rule.
William II. Hirst, attorney for the
New York State Brewers Association
and counsel to Society Of Restaurateurs
warned against the anti-liquor law which
Gov.-elect Miller is expected to pro-
pose to the Legislature.
Mr.. Hirst insists that now is the time
to declare for reasonableness in drink
Ing. He says that under the Supreme
Court decisions Congress has right 10
legislate so that each State may set its
own standard of what is Intoxicating
and that If the people will make them
selves properly heard at Washington as
soon as is humanity possible after
March 4. 1921, there is chance to bring
beer and light wine within the law.
Three agents sent by Mr.. Boyd into
the East Side yesterday seized in sa-
loon In Cannon stree. a whole barrel of
whiskey and another of grain alcohol.
Three more of his agents, following
complaint by the complandant at West
Point went to Highland Falls and ar
rested two restaurant keepers and one
keeper of a saloon. Complaint had been
made that cadets from the United States
Military Academy had been supplied
with hootch by the publicans.
There was a sight for the populace In

80 LIQUOR ARRESTS
UNDER LAW OF 1872
NeW Jersey Men Accused of
Selling Less Than. Quarts.

Without reference to the volstead
act. but operating under authority of a
State law adopted In 1872, thirty saloon
keepers OF Essex county, ". J.. were ar
rested yesterday at the instance of
County Prosecutor Harrison. They
were charged with selling liquor In less
than quart quantities
Last September Chief Justice Cum
mere of the New Jersey Supreme Court
advised the Essex county authorities
that the passage of the Federal prohibit
ton amendment automatically cut the
last three words from the clause in the
Crimes act adopted by the New Jersey
Legislature nearly fifty years ago,
which read: And may not sell less than
quart quantities without license" This
ruling was on the theory that as there
was no legal liquor traffic. there could
be no licensing.
The arrests were made at Newark,
Orange. Belleville and Nutley. Indict-
ments may be asked.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G.. Nov. D.
Applications for permission to move
millions of dollars worth OF liquor are
expected by officials of the Internal
Revenue Bureau as a result OF the
Supreme Court decision that liquor
lawfully acquired for personal use Is
not subject to seizure, regardless Of
whether it Is stored in the owners
home or not.
It was estimated by officials here
that there are about 100000 gallons
of liquors for personal consumption
which have been stored in warehouses
OF various character and which now
can be taken to the home Of the
owner.
Besides this, there are thousands or
persons who have liquor stored in their
homes who want to get it Into some
safer place. DIR. A. B. Adams or the pro-
hibition enforcement division said he
knew of persons who had acquired liquor
lawfully and stored 1t in their homes. but
we're afraid to go away at night for fear
burglars would get the liquor.
The rush for permits is now expected
to come from persons who want to get
their liquor to their homes in quantities
sufficient to drink, but not sufficient to
tempt burglars. and from persons who
have stored liquor in their homes and
now desire to get it out. The Internal
Revenue Bureau is not ready to furnish
permits, and will not be until the man
date of the Supreme Court in the case of
William G. Street against the Lincoln
Safe Deposit Company. which brought
about the decision. is issued. Meantime
a system Of granting permits will be
worked out
While prohibition enforcement officials
were inclined to agree with Wayne B.
Wheeler. general counsel of the Anti
Saloon League, that the decision would
make the work of enforcement more diff
ficult. they pointed out that it would not
enable any one who did not have liquor
prior to January 16. 1919. to acquire 1t
lawfully now. In one respect they be-
lieved It even might help them because
II would make more difficult the stealing
of liquor and its subsequent sale by boot
leggers.
Prohibition officials and Mr.. Wheeler
also emphasized that II would still be
necessary for a person to get q permit
20 take liquor from one place to another.
by this means they hope they will be
able to scrutinize all requests for large
withdrawals OF liquor and to keep a
close watch on the person withdrawing
them to make sure that he is not with
DIRE wing to sell.
Without having seen the decision of
TIE Supreme Court the offhand opinion
of officials is that no large quantity of
liquor in bonded warehouses will be
affected. II. however. any person
owned such liquor prior to the enact
ment of the volstead law and declared
II for personal use officials could see
NJ obstacle to Withdrawing It.
Lawyers did not resitate TO declare
t,at restaurants will not benefit under
the Supreme Court decision, which COW
cred liquor for personal use only.

COMRADES ALL!

One of the criticisms sometimes
made of fraternal societies is that
they breed selfishness and lead to
Partially. Members are sometimes
accused Of pulling wires for the ad.
vancement Of one Of their number
when someone else not a member of
the society is more worthy of promo
ton and more entitled to support.
There is one such organization
against which no such charge will
lie, although the members will Ego
the limit in helping one another
when it is not to the advantage in
preference to someone else who does
not deserve to be disseminated
against.
The American Legion puts the
welfare of the United States above
that of it's members, and the Legion
naries demonstrated that this pro-
fession on their part was not an
empty vaunt when they offered
their lives to the country during the
war.
There should not be any misun-
derstanding, therefore, of move
ments in the Legion such as that
now under way to find positions for
unemployed members. Brothers in
arms, the Legionnaires are now
comrades in civil life, and as such
naturally will do what they can to
promote their mutual welfare. But
while the former soldiers are clan:
nish, they are not selfish, and no ap-
prehension need be entertained that
in advancing one another's interests
they will do so at the expense of the
rest of the people. Their funda-
mental tenets prohibit such a
course.
