Mob Storms jail TO
Get Moore s Slayer

a number of members of the party
when they arrived at the Jail donned
masks. The majority, however: made
no effort to conceal their identity.
! Turner was taken away at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon from the Jail in
an automobile in charge of Sheriff
\. c. Clements, Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Marcy and Special Officer Howard
Smoot. The destination of the prison
er was not made public, although
Commonwealth Attorney Frank L.
Ball stated that his ultimate dest:na-
ton was Richmond.
While the mob was storming the
Alexandria county Jail last night Tur-
ner was sleeping soundly in the little
ia;l in Leesburg. Va, he having arriv-
ed there at 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon in custody CT the Alexandria
county officials. There were few resi-
dents of keesburg who were aware OF
the fact that Turner was prisoner
in that jail. In fact the Leesburg Off
cials did not think it necessary to take
any precautions owing to the secrecy
which had surrounded the removal
of Turner.
Turner now is in the Richmond pen
itentiary far from mob vengeance
where he undoubtedly will be kept un-
til he is tried before Judge Edmund
Wadd:l of the United States Court
for the Eastern district of Virginia.
Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning
Turner was placed in high powered
automobile and taken over the road
presumably to Richmond, although the
Leesburg officials stated to represen-
tative of the Gazette over the long dis
tance phone today that they were
pledged to secrecy as to.his destlna-
ton.
The prisoner was in charge of
Sheriff r. w. Edwards. Loudoun
county; Mayor L0wenbach ana
deputy and was heavily manacled.
He appeared unconcernea over his
remo1el.
The order for the removal of Tur-
ner from the Jail on Fort Myer
Heights yesterday afternoon was
given By Judge Samuel G. Brent OF
the circuit court for Alexandria
county. This action was taken "
Judge Brent following conference
ever the dong distance telephone
with Governor Westmoreland Davis,
it being deemed expedient to have
him removed for fear of mob vio-
lence.
There were few persons aware OF
the fact that the prisoner had been
taken from the county Jail, so secret
were the movements of. the officials.
He was placed in an automobile IN

Unions Will Demand Presidential Veto on Rail Reorganization Bill

ton were explained to be aside from any question of the validity of the Dill and they, therefore. purposed to carry the opposition through to the finish. The next step in the union program. which will not be developed definitely unless the bill is approved, is to test the constitutionality of the law. Va rious methods of bringing this about were suggested but all will be held in abeyance pending the presidents ac- ton.
 Decision of the union officials to pre- sent their views to Mir. Wilson was reached suddenly. The course was not decided on, it was said. until it ap- peared no other plan would be general Iy accepted by the rank and file.
 Labor provisions of the bill admit tedly will be the most bitterly assailed templates attacks on the financial sec templats attacks on the financial sec tions. which labor holds 10 be unfair to the taxpayers and T burden on the government

WILSON A FREE
 TRADER ASSERTS
 SEN. POINDEXTER
CRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

NEW DIRK, Feb. g4.-President Wilson was termed a free trader did the league of nations "a constitution for a world republic.7 by United States Senator Miles Poindexter of Washing ton, in an address tonight before the republican club of the Bronx
 One characteristic Of a federated for in the original constitution, is fre~ just as there is between the states of our federal republic. It is inconsistent that federated states should impose trade barriers in the way of import duties against each other It is quite significant that -he American dele gate at the peace conference, who by reason of the power of the United States, was largely responsible for the injection into the peace treaty of this constitution for world republic, namely, President Wilson, is a free trader. It is also we'll known that no greater economic benefit could be be- slowed upon European nations with their cheap labor and less expensive standards of living than free trade with the United States"
 Senator Poindexter declared that the struggle the republican party has been compelled to make in the senate "to protect the constitution and the inde- pendence of the country against at tacks by those sworn to preserve and defend them is more like a struggle orale terms as possible from an un- compromising conqueror. rather than a treaty of peace dictated by "a vic tOrious nation.n

Wilson's Adriatic
 Reply Dispatched
 t0Alied Premiers

WASHI NGTON, Feb. 24.-President Wilson's reply to the entente premiers on the Adriatic question was dis patched tonight by the state depart ment It is expected to be in the hands of Ambassador Davis at Lon don tomorrow and will be delivered as soon as it has been decoded
 Officials still declined to discuss the contents of the communication, but it is known that in his exchange with the premiers, the president has made an unequivocal statement of the Amer ican governments position, especially with regard to the forming of agree ments without the participation of this country.
 It is understood that in his latest note the president does not return pre- cisely to the arguments and decision announced in the note of December g, which formed the basis of the Adri- atic agreement to which the United States subscribed as important events which have occurred in Plume since that time are said to have necessitated modifications in some respects to meet the changed conditions.
 However, the president is said to have refused to agree to the terms of the settlement arrived at by the pre- miers and sent to Jugo- Slavia as an ultimatum. .
 Acting Secretary Polk is endeavor- ing to arrange for the simuItane6 us publication of the correspondence on both sides of the Atlantic and it is regarded as probable that the notes will be made public in Washington soon after the presidents reply is de- liyered at London and Paris.

 RAILROAD OFFICIALS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-In a statement r. F. Richardson, president of the American Federation of Railroad Workers, an independent organization with headquarters in Chicago, made a series of charges against officers of the United States railroad administration intima ting that there was a conspiracy between the officers of the American Federation of Labor and railroad ad- ministration afficers, including Di- rector General Hines Mr. Richardson's statement alleged that from 65 to 90 per cent of the members of the Amer ican Federation Of Labor railroad craft unions were literally handed over to those organizations by a form of con- scrIption exercised by the railroad ad- minlStration.
 It was alleged that official letters and communications addressed to the railroad administration from the Amer ican Federation of Railroad Workers were turned over to rival organizations within the Americau Federation of Labor for propaganda purposes and MT. Richardson said he could furnish documentary evidence in support of the charge.
 Richardson charged that threats of force and violence were resorted 10, and that one of Samuel Gompers' aids. era- ployed in the government service. had told Richardson he would be killed Richardson charged that the Anderson amendment to the railroad bill was drafted by Gompers.

LADY ASTOR PLEADS
 LIQUOR REFORMS IN
 PARLIAMENT DEBUT
LRepubIican A. p. Leased wire]

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Lady Astor made her maiden speech in parlia- ment tonight during the course of an interesting debate on the subject of liquor control She was warmly cheered and congratulated by many members.
 Sir John Rees, unionist from East Nottingham. in a brilliant and witty speech, urged the removal of exist ing war restrictions on the liquor trade, but his motion was talked out by Lady Astor and other opposing speakers.
 T know that strong forces are ar rayed against me-" he said, "and that there is a rod in pickle for me. But I shall be prepared to kiss the rod
 Lady Astor followed Sir John and she was soon speaking with confidence and in a clear voice, which rang through the house to the large and friendly audience.
 Lady Astor supported control of the liquor traffic. for which she pleaded strongly in the interest of the chil- dren:
 T am aware" she said, that this country does not desire prohibition. and I am not working for that. I am certain that the country is ripe for drastic drink reforms and I want to see that the drink submarine does not torpedo the prime minister and that he is master in his own house."
