a. be = lawful organization and releasing
Il of lis members held for deportation,
Assistant Secretary Post announced yes
ter,lay after a conference with Secretary
Wilson.
Pending final determination of the
question by the courts the Labor Depart
mcnt, MIR. Post said, would consider
Judge Andersons's decision as binding
only in that particular jurisdiction and
would proceed with all deportation cases
outside that district.
There are now under orders of depor-
tation in that district 60 aliens, prin-
cipally Russians, of whom only IL are
actually covered by the decision" said
Mr.. Post. 1.-The. balance will be paroled
where their cases involve nothing more
than membership in the Communist
party. Where other personal activities
have operated to bring aliens within
other clauses of the act no paroles will
be granted, it being the understanding of
the department that Judge Anderson s
decision covers membership only"

Cannot Praise this
Remedy too Highly
TINE WAY ONT LADY FEELS AFTER
SUFFERING TWO YEARS

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. D. No. 1,
Box LA, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter Is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: II suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two Of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
] then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfully say am we'll. When I
began to use PE-RU-NA, weighed
one hundred pounds. ITy weight
now is one hundred and fifty. I
cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
! got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
] advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA."
AS an emergency remedy in the
home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu-
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE'-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any
where in either tablet or liquid
form.

MERCHANT MARINE
WILL Be DEVELOPED
ADMIRAL BENSON WARNS FOR
EIGN INTERESTS AGAINST uN-
DUE INTERFERENCE.
GOVERNMENT IN EARNEST
II Attempt Made to Carry Out Threat
Board viii Allocate American
Ships to Handle Business
from All Ports.

MISUNDERSTANDING foreign in
terests not to attempt interference
with the development of the American
merchant marine, Chairman Benson Of
the shipping board declared that the
board was determined to build up an
American merchant marine as con-
templated by the Jones shipping act,
despite threats and propaganda by
such interests to defeat the law.
"The United States" said Admiral
Benson, sis in earnest in its efforts
to place within the ownership by
United States citizens the control Of
at least part of its traffic in imports
and exports. If 1t should by any pos.
sible means be held that the depart
ments Of the government lack such
authority as will insure their being
able to protect American interests in
such control, additional authority will
be asked by the administration and
will undoubtedly be granted by con.
gress.
! Foreign carriers and those in the
United States interested more in for.
eign than American institutions will
do we'll to let sleeping dogs lie'."
Admiral Benson's warning was
sounded in talk to representatives
OF Pacific coast chambers of com.
merce and trade bodies and American
railroads who have been disturbed
by threats of foreign carriers to d.
vert business from American ports on
the Pacific coast because of the sec.
tion of the merchant marine act per.
hitting preferential rate over car
riers within the United States on
merchandise moving in export and
import in American vessels.
Such threat the chairman said,
Ia futile and idle"
IF such threat is sincere and the
attempt is made to so divert the
business" Admiral Benson continued,
"the shipping board will allocate
American ships to move the business.
The shipping board and the Interstate
! Commerce Commission will follow
this action by other steps which
would further protect the interests Of
the United States against such for.
eign efforts to defeat the purposes of
the merchant marine act"
Nothing could more surely bring
about the enforcement of this section
Of the law than adoption by foreign
carriers of their threat to divert bus.
mess from American ports"

CLEARING MYSTERY

MISS KRAUS DENIES STORY
Emphatica;ly Declares Che Never

New York-Viola Kraus, divorced
wife of Victor Won Schlegel, and miss
WILSON, the girl of the lingerie in the
FJwell murder mystery, are the one
and same person.
District Attorney Edward Swami
made this known in a statement he
issued after examining Miss Kraus'
statement after statements made by
Annie Kane, Elwell's former house
keeper, IL an exclusive interview OBJ
tanned from her in her home in Ire
land by Universal Service.
Miss Kraus denied the story told
by Annie that she threatened to xxi
Elwell if he ever deserted her again"
The district attorneys office is not
through, however, investigating the
evidence furnished by Annie Kane
They Will question Mrs. Joseph Will
merding, the other woman" of whom
Miss Annie told Universal Service
Miss Wilson was jealous"
I'VE have communicated with Mrs
Wilmerding and she will be question:
ed as TO her acquaintance with Elwell
and what she knows of his life up to
the time he was slain"
Assistant District Attorney John T.
Dooiing said
Il understand that Mrs. Wilmerding
has denied In an interview with news,
paper men that she had ever quar-.
relied with Miss Wilson over Elwell
We must. however, sift this informa.
ton to the bottom.
There was undoubtedly scores upon
scores of persons who knew Elwell
at Palm Beach, at the race courses,
at Newport, at ether resorts and here
in the city, persons Of high standing
in many cases. We have questioned
many such people on what they knew
of Elwell, in an effort to find some
clew as to the motive for the crime, "
said the assistant district attorney,
when questioned about several others
whose names were mentioned by An
ME Kane as being friends or asso-
ciates of Elwell These people, un.
less their stories have some direct
bearing on the solution of the muir,
der, should not be brought into the
limelight. 1t is not fair to them" he
continued. When we find the man
or woman we are looking for, who
pulled the trigger and sent bullet
crashing into Elwell's brain, we will
make it known, all right"
