II Germany should remain stubborn

country will acquiesce In the military
occupation OF the Ruhr Valley. Whether
the American troops on the Rhine would
take part in this movement is a question
that found no official answer here to-
day. but II Is regarded as very doubtful
for the double reason that such a move
would most certainly arouse a storm OF

has made all necessary preparations.
The purpose OF the Administration in
bringing about delay In the enactment
of the Knox resolution for separate
peace with Germany was emphasized

From Shipping Board, Has
an Ample Booze Supply.
NO STINTING OF DRINKS
Capt. McGorman Ordered
by Owners to Stock Up
for Voyage North.
REPORT TO WASHINGTON
Passengers From South Amer
lean Ports Enjoy Trip on
wet Vessel.
REPORT TO WASHINGTON

The steamship Huron, a Shipping
Board vessel operated by the Munson
Line, came into port last night and i'm
mediately became the central figure in
what was described as an effort by the
Munson Line to test the right of the
United States Government to prevent
the serving of liquor on a ship of
American registry.
The Huron, it was said, carried a
substantial supply Of booze and beer,
and during her trip north from Monte
video. Buenos Aires and other South
American ports to New York none of
the passengers went thirsty. The ves-
sci was docked at Pier 3, Hoboken.
Her liquor storehouse was sealed off
Ambrose Light. A report of the mat
ter was forwarded to Washington.
Capt. James McGorman, the skipper,
said that he had instructions to take
aboard supply of liquor and beer,
and that his owners were prepared to
go into the courts in an effort to set
the Volstead act aside in so far as
ships on the high seas are concerned.
According to one passenger, the Mum
son Line notified the skipper that in the
matter of drinks for all there was to be
no stinting. The message II was said.
was received at Montevideo, and soon
afterward 1000 bottles of liquor and
1000 bottles of per cent. beer were
taken on board. 1t was alleged also that
a bar was opened. These little con-
veniences were viewed with rejoicing at
Rio de Janiero and Santos. where other
passengers were taken on board.
Then the Huron, wettest ship of all
that fly the American flag, in the words
of the passengers. started her northward
voyage. Just before Ambrose Channel
lightship was sighted, it was explained.
the lid was clamped down tight. Gus
toms officials who boarded the Huron at
Quarantine sealed up the storehouse
where 1t was said the liquor and beer
were kept and when the ship steamed
slowly into her pier she was dry.
News that the Huron would be run
up from Montevldeo as a wet" ship,

ment under the American flag since
prohibition became an aactualty. was
received first on April IS from Buenos
Aires. The despatch said:
Orders have been received 10 stock

erages for its passengers for a round

Immediately the Shipping Board.
through Rear Admiral Benson. chair
man. announced that no authorization
for such an order had been given. The
Muson line officials also denied there
was any truth in the report. and said
that IL any liquor had been put on board
the Huron passengers must have done
the job. Still more recently Admiral
Benson let IL be, known that a report
would be submitted to him concerning
the stocking OF the ship with liquor, and
that upon this report he would base any
official action considered necessary.

TEN GIRLS BREAK
OUT OF BEDFORD
MatrOn Was i'm House After
Wrap When Inmates Made
Dash for Liberty.
$40 REWARD FOR EACH
State COnstabulary and Guards
From Reformatory Spread
Net Over Countryside.

The matron in charge of Robertson
dormitory of the State Reformatory for
Women at Bedford felt chilly last night
while sitting on a veranda with the in
mates of her cottage, and she went in
side to get wrap. But first, accord
ing to the custom and the rule, she
counted the girls who sat on wicker
chairs and on the steps. apparently with
no wicked thoughts whatever. There
were twenty-five of them.
But only a few minutes later the
matron returned. comfortable in her
wrap, and she counted the women again,
for that is the custom and the rule also
count them when leaving and count them
when coming back But this time there
were only twelve sitting in the wicker
chairs and on the steps. Ten had van
lsned, presumably by the back door, for
if they had gone by the front they
would have had to run across the campus
Of the reformatory and would have been
visible from the dormitory porch.
The matron did not need to be an
Einstein to know that the inmates Of
Bedford had accomplished the biggest
jail delivery in the history of the insti-
tuition. She herded the prisoners that
remained to her inside the house and
telephoned to DIR. Amos r. Baker the
new superintendent of the reformatory,
in office for week and the first man
to hold that office. DR.. Baker turned
loose all of his forces of investigation
and search. He sent out all OF the
male guards and all the matrons he
could spare. he summoned the State
constabulary from Brewster and White
Plains and the city police from Bedford
and he sent word to the citizenry, many
of whom turned out on an unofficial
hunt for the women, because the State
pays a reward of $40 for each escaped
prisoner captured and returned to the
institution.
DR.. Baker said last night that he had
received no word from his numerous
hunting parties, but that he believed the
girls started for the Connecticut State
line, about six miles away. But they
have no food and probably will have
to leave the woods and venture into
the highways within a short time. DIR.
Baker also expressed the opinion that
the ten girls did not particularly want
their freedom. but that they wanted to
get even with him for being man su-
perintendens.
II think they acted on sudden I'M
pulse" said DIR. Baker. "and not from
any desire for freedom. / think 1t Is a
movement against me, and a protest
because i transferred twelve women
from the dormitories to the psychopathic
cottage"
This cottage, or ward was opened
yesterday in Frances Bement cottage.
and Is designed for subnormal or abnor-
NAL girls and girls who. as DR.. Baker
expressed II. have emotional explosions
without adequate cause. The opening
OF the cottage caused considerable COM
ment among the prisoners many Of
them feeling that they might be COM
mitted to II and that II would brand
them as insane or at the least a trife
queer.
The authorities at Bedford withheld
the names OF the escaping girls, but It
was learned that three of them are
Marie Cannon. Rose Weitz and Hen
rietta Lane.

Alleged Dry Violator Is
Acquitted in 80 Seconds

TT took a jury before County
Judge Haskell, in Brooklyn,
thirty-two seconds yesterday to
acquit Thomas Labiuno, a saloon
keeper, of 154 Forty-first street.
1t was the sixth case tried in
Brooklyn under the Mullan-Gage
law and the sixth acquittal. The
jury was picked in the record
time of five minutes, one pros
pective juror being excused when
he admitted he was an advocate
of prohibition.
Patrolman Crimmins of the
Fourth avenue station testified
he found two men in Labiuno's
saloon on April 3 with liquor in
front of them. Labiuno said he
had not sold the whiskey, but
had brought it to the place for
his personal use.
