Departments Join In Effort To Stop
 Canadian Liquors

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 13.-Federal, state and county authorities joined hands this afternoon in an effort to halt what is said to be an effort to flood the United States with intoxi cants from Canada. following Wind sor court ruling that the Ontario temperance act does not prohibit ex- port of liquors.
 First results of the vigilance of the officers came today when federal of fieers raided a house in Ecorse, 3 suburb, and seized 1900 pints of beer and 12 quarts of whiskey. Ecorse, in the opinion of Charles P. Campau chief inspector of the state depart ment of public safety. is the center of the traffic in illicit liquor brought across the border. CamPau last mid night brought sevehty-five state troopers here from Lansing to patro the waterfronts of Detroit and suburbs.
 Beer continued to be shipped today from Windsor. Sandwich, Ford City and other Canadian border towns No whiskey shipments were discern ible. The beer shipped today was re- ported to have ben headed for Toledo Ohio. and other lake and river cities
 My investigations show that nc greater amount of beer and whiskey is being brought into Detroit thar formerly" A. C. Graham, federal pro- hibition director, said today.

Californian Says
 Japanese Seeking
 To Control Hawaii

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Enact- ment of a special immigration law which would permit entrance of sui ficient Chinese coolies to the Ha- waiian Islands to relieve the present agricultural labor shortage was urged today in a statement by Representa- tive Free, republican of California, who declared the Japanesse are seek ing to obtain economic control in the territory.
 The Japanese are boring into Ha- vail" he said, "and today practically half of the population of the terri tory is Japanese. The Japanese de- sire to control the economic life of the islands. they are striving to ob- tain control of the industries there and when this happens nothing will be left for us but American forts. surrounded with a Japanese popula- ton that never can pc imbued with American ideals"
 Declaring that congress had drawn the dead line to exclude Hawaii from much legislation, Mir. Free added:
 "Congress can weh afford to enact special immigration legislation for the island territory. The mainland cannot be hurt by any special per mission for Hawaii to fight out its Japanese problem in the way best suited to bring victory to the cause of one hundred per cent Americanism in those islands"

DIVORCE EASY FOR SWISS

Divorce is within the reach of all in Switzerland, writes s. J. Jennings in the London News, and the facilities are used to considerable extent About TOO civil marriages take place in Geneva each year, and there are about 140 divorces.
 Divorce procedure is comparatively simple. 1t is necessary to go to a lawyer, who prepares the case and brings it in the first instance before the court of conciliation. The parties appear privately before this court and the judge endeavors to persuade them to renounce their intention and live amicably together. If he does not succeed, the lawyer proceeds to col lect evidence and the matter comes again before the court after a lapse of three months. The witnesses are heard in private, but the lawyers pleadings take place before the public court known as the tribunal de ire instance. Altogether, divorce pro- ceedings usually take about a year.
 There are a large number of pos sible reasons for the granting of di- vorce, but in probably 50 per cent of the cases the reason given is incom- patibility of temperament This plea Is, of course, a very convenient one, and saves much washing of dirty linen, beside the fact that the cause which in England constitutes the most potent plea for divorce is in certain cantons of Switzerland a criminal offense.
 The cost of divorce proceedings in l Switzerland is never prohibitive. It is available to tfe poorest. Accord ing to the Swiss constitution, no citi- zen is allowed to suffer by reason of the fact that he is too poor to invoke the law, and if he proves inability to pay for legal representation his costs are paid from a fund raised under a l tax known as the droit des pauvres | (right of the poor). The cost of di- vorce, however. depends on circum- stances, and witnesses are sometimes paid considerable sums to give evil dence. Nevertheless, persons O.
 small means who agree to seek di-
 vorce and have no children to com
 plicate the situation. may hope tC
 obtain their desire for a matter of
 say. S60.

 The former appeared the more com posed and in better physical trim than since her arrest.

 Mrs. Emma E. Smart, mother of Mrs. Obenchain, said today she had asked Mir. Obenchain to remain at her home while here and hoped he would do so.
 Burch was said to have been identified yesterday by a motorist who said he en countered Burch in the roadster which the police said had been in the glen on the night of the shooting.
 The meeting occurred, he said, near Santa Monica canyon mouth, where officer recently declared that they believed the slayer of Kennedy had gone in machine, throwing the gun used into the ocean.
 The witness said that his lights flashed into the car driven sup posedly by Burch and that the man inside the car was wearing dark goggles. although it was then late at night.
 In the Jail yesterday the witness requested that Burch put on his dark glasses. which up to this time, it is said, he had always donned wher witnesses had been brought against him. Burch refused and he was | led into a private room with the new witness. What occurred within was not revealed but Burch came ou- noticeably shaken.

 It was believed the bandits ar rived in Kinkaid earlier in the day and hid where they could watch the street through which Jones and Lockhart passed. The strangers were seen back of a motion picture theater during the afternoon. The theater is near the bank in front of which the robbery occurred
 A score of people witnessed the holdup but appeared to be dazed by what they saw.
 Jones was badly injured by the blow he received.
 Officials of the Peabody Coal com pany here tonight declared they be- lieved the holdup was an inside job, T so thoroughly was the robbery planned and executed.
 Peabody officials here said they did not know the exact amount of the Kinkaid payroll, but that it was somewhere between S100,000 and S115,000
 Sheriff Dunhar returned to Taylor vile late tonight after a fruitless pursuit of the bandits. Rain tonight made roads muddy Search for the robbers was directed toward Spring field. The bandit with the crooked nose furnished the best clue for the authorities. Springfield police and Sheriff Mesters office were search ing the city for a police character with that of the one bandit.
 The man sought was once arrested by Sheriff Dunbar, who led the posses tonight.
 Witnesses of the holdup said the bandit car bore Illinois license No 55501. This Incense was issued fol another make of machine at New Douglas, Madison county.
