 Washington, October 11.-Sciz- ure and sale of foreign ships vio- intipE prohibition laws Is under consideration by the bureau of tn- tcrnaI revenue. Officials Of the bureau were represented tonight as seeing no solution to the prob lem other than institution of libel proceedings under the VoIstead act for ships bringing in Iiquor.-
 Evidence gathered by federal en- forement agents was said to have dis closed that masters of foreign ships frequently conspired with their seamen to violate the prohibition laws. The supply Of alcoholic beverageswnas teen greatly increased along the eastern seahoard by this meens. was said, The bureau is understood also to have discovered definite connection be- tween foreign seamen engaged in smuggling and 'whiskey ring through which the smuggled comm odity is marketed.
 The Voistead act provides spccifi- caIIy for confiscntion of vehicles of transportation employed in viola ton of that law. Bureau officials were said to feel that although foreign complications mny result, they should take steps in that di- rectiOn in order to control the traffic
 No estimate has been made of the amount Of liquor thus reaching Amer ican "pootleggers,' but officials are agreed it has reached large proportions within the last six months.
 Technically foreign ships are within Jurisdiction of Americans when in side the three mile limit. This makes them liable to confiscation at any time conrraband goods is found on them. Ire belief was indicated. however. that seizure of a few ships would end the

The burns received when he knock

Albany Mourns Death
Of Rev. Lamar Sims

ALBANY, Jan. 19.-All of AL
bany was shocked and grieved most
deeply when it became known Sun
day that Rev. Lamar Sims, ID, had
died Saturday evening at Hampton
Springs, Fla, where he had been
some time for his health DIR. Sims
for ten years had been pastor of the
First Baptist church of Albany and
was one of the most popular minis
ters any church of this city ever had.
He numbers his friends among the
entire citizenship, regardless of de-
nominational affiliations. He was a
member of the board of trustees of
Mercer University.
The body was taken from Hamp-
ton Springs to his old home at Jones'
boro, where the funeral was held
Monday morning A number of AL
bany people, members of his congre-
CATION and others, left here Sunday
to attend the funeral. DR.. Sims had
never married. He had been in frail
health for a number of years, suf-
fering from a heart affection, which
was the direct cause of his death.

Oklahoma Senator, Democratic Presidential Aspir-
ant, Is Direct Descendant Of
Pocahontas

as secretary of the board of education
in Indian Territory, as editor of the
Indian Chieftain, and as United States
agent for the five civilized tribes.
Takes First Step.
AS member of the national Demo-
cratic committee from 1892 to 1896,
he took his first steps in party politics.
He was on the resolutions commit
tee which recommended bimetallism in
the famous convention of 1896 that
nominated Bryan.
His association with the Commoner
in the "a years intervening leads his
supporters that, in event Bryan HIM
self seek the nomination, his strength
may go to Owen. Most spectacular
of Ovens alignments with Bryan
was in the Roger Sullivan campaign
in Illinois in which Owen stumped the
state to beat his fellow democrat.
Sullivan, charging him with being a
ringster of the worst type.
Handsome, well-to-do, Owen as a
, United States senator since okla
! homa's statehood came, has been a
great drawing card as a lecturer.
I 1t was said that during his work on
the Owen Glass Federal Reserve
Banking law, he paid out more per-
sonal funds hiring Investigators and
experts to aid him than he received
in salary as senator.
Is Ultra Progressive.
In tone he is recorded as ultra pro-
gressive. Some charge him with radi-
calism.
AS bosom friend of Samuel I'm
termeyer since boyhood, he has been
the frequent guest in that famous
New York lawyers home, There he
has met many of the great fnanciers
and industrial captains of the land
And his supporters say that these
men, as we'll as the progressives, are
for Owen, because they believe that
one who could lead the reserve act tC
victory in the senate against theii
combined opposition, and later make
them like the law they so bitterly op
posed, has "the stuff"
A few things that Owen has stooc
for furnish an index to his politica
nature:
Led the fight in the senate for the
constitutional amendment providing
for direct election of senators,
Persistent advocate Of initiative
and referendum, preferential ballot
short ballot, cloture, corrupt prac
tives prevention, commission form o.
government for cities, mandator!
primary laws, farm loan act, minimum
wage, workmen's compensation, wo
man suffrage, department Of publ
!. health and the child labor act.

BY C. B. PARKER
Editor, The Oklahoma News.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. 10.
"A direct descendant of Pocahontas
to occupy the White House?
These things will come to pass if
if Robert L. Owen succeeds in his
ambition to be chief executive of the
nation.
Owen is one-sixteenth Cherokee In
dian.
Pocahontas belonged to one of the
seven tribes of the Cherokee nation.
Owens Cherokee blood cones to him
from the same ancestors as those
which Pocahontas boasted.
Grandfather a Chief.
The senator's grandfather was an
hereditary chieftain of the tribe.
Owen is known among his kipsmen as
Oconostota. His grandfather bore the
English name of Thomas Chisholm,
and he was friend of Thomas Jeffer-
son.
AS figure in the political life
Owens Indian characteristics evidence
themselves in one particular way-by
his seeming air of distance when he
is among men.
The senator is a most affable com.
panion in his office or home But ir
hotel lobby crowd, his always pre-
occupied manner gives the impro ssior
of distance. And this trait-a re.
serve common to the Indian-has al
ways been regarded by Owen himself
as positive liability, politically.
There are those, however, VINO say
it is an asset-that the public is get
ting tired of and wise to the glad
handing politician
Family of Romance.
Books could be written of the ro
nance of his family. His mother wa.
highly educated. AS a girl she rode
overland 1000 miles to reach board
ing school in Indiana Her Indiar
blood was one-eighth.
After she finished school she wen
to Tennessee as a teacher. There
she met young engineer, Colone
Robert L. Owen, a man of no Indiar
blood.
Robert L. Owen is the youngest Of
two sons.
He was educated in private schools
in Virginia, and later graduated will
masters degree from Washington anC
Lee. Here he received the president
scholarship as the most diligen
scholar and a gold medal as the bes
debater.
His interest in the Indians led hin
into public life-irst as principal o.
the Cherokee Orphan Asylum, late
