a St. Louis Concern, in
Federal Court.

st. Louis, Dec. Ia suit attacking
the anti-beer law as unconstitutional
has been filed in federal court by the
Falstaff corporation, a local brewery.

poses, az is evidenced by the working OF
the title of the national prohibition
act" They also quote the opinion rem
dered by former Attorney General
Palmer permitting beer for medical
purposes.

to manufacture medicinal beer on Nov.

ders from large number Of druggists

GERMAN Marks TAKE
A LEAP UPWARD
Recovery Assisted BY Optimism Re.
garding Negotiations in Regard
to Reparations Payment.

London. Dec. | lBy the Associated
Pressl German marks underwent q
further recovery on the London eN-
change market to-day. Heavy buying
sent the rate to $50 to the pound
sterling, against yesterdays close OF
$50. Profit taking sales by spectators
who bought at the highest figure
caused occasional reactions, but pur-
chases predominated.
The recovery was assister by opti-
mism regarding the negotiations now
proceeding between DIR. Walter Rathe-
nau, former German minister of re-
construction, and the financial heads
OF the British government, in regard
to Germany's Forthcoming reparatons
payments, and, the possibility of a
moratorium.

SEEK REASON FOR SILENCE
On the Part Of Nantucket Shoals Re
lief Lightship.

Boston, Dec. 1.-The lighthouse ten
der Azalea was bound for Nantucket
shoals to-day to find out why the re-
lief lightship stationed there has not
been heard from for several years.
There was no anxiety over Captain
Arthur l. Berry and his ten men, ii
was stated at lighthouse headquarters
here. The trouble was believed to be
with the radio equipment rather than
with the vessel itself. The fact that
the steamship Oscar III reported that
the lightship was not seen on her sta
tion last Sunday was considered with
out significance in view of the fact
that no other Of the many vessels
passing the station daily had reported
her missing since.
The cruiser Cleveland. arriving at
the navy yard to-day, reported having
sighted the lightship on her station
yesterday.

this morning in the trial Of DE assault
and robbery cases against Comes, Dies

at great length by +. b. Jourdain,
counsel for Comes, who inquired
minutely into the circumstances of the
alleged assault by his client, and who
sought TO east a doubt upon her identi-
fication Of Comes at Wareham as one
.af the three men concerned in the af.
fair.
The witness said she identified
Comes by his hair, which was thick,
his manner Of speaking, and his dirty
white sneaks. She admitted that on
the night OF the alleged assault Comes
face was covered by handkerchief ex-
ccpt when he lifted IL 10 smoke, but

GOVERNMENT
MOST ANXIOUS
TO GET MORSE
The Ship Financier Left
New York Last Friday
and a Destroyer Will Set
Out From a French Port
to Take Morse From
His Steamer

Washington, d. G., Dec The Jus
tice department was understood to-
day to have asked the navy depart
ment to send destroyer to intercept
the French liner Paris and bring back
Charles w. Morse Of New York, who
is reported to have left the country in
the face Of a grand jury investigation
Of his ship contracts.
Ii was understood that a naval de-
sfrovcr would put to sea from a
French port within few hours to in
fercept the Paris, which left New York
last Friday.
While neither Attorney General
Daugherty nor other justice depart
mant high officials would discuss the
reported departure, it was learned that
every agency of the government would
be used in effecting his return to this
country.
The departments request for assist
ance from the navy department was
understood to be on. the. theory that
tie legal questions involved in the re-
turn of Morse would be threshed out
when he was brought back. Immedi-
ately upon receipt of the report that
Morse had left the country the de
partment was understood to have ra-
diced the liner Paris to hold Morse for
return TO America.
Officials refused to reply to a num-
Der of questions as to how an Amefi-
: can destroyer could intercept a vessel
flying the French flag and how Morse
could be compelled to return to this
country in view of the lack of legal
proceedings against him.
State department officials said later
that Morse had been granted a pass
port several months ago and that this
passport presumably was good at the
time of his sailing. 1t was pointed out
out, however, that no passport is neces-
sary for a citizen of the United States
TO leave this country, although evidence
of his American citizenship is required
in virtually all countries before his ad-
mittance.

business so long as ! behave myself.

Mr.. Jeffrey lost no time instructing
Sheriff Wellman to get Clark even If
the chase led to California 1t led only
to South Vernon, however, as the sher-

the South Vernon railroad station
waiting for a train. Sheriff WeIiman
brought him TO Brattleboro. When the
