MYSTERY SHIPS
CARRY BOOZE
That is Opinion at Atlantic
City, Great Fortunes Be-
ing Made, But no Pirates

ATLANTIC CITY. July 1S-Pirate
yarns or reports of mysterious ships
may be explained by the discovery
of blockade runners that have been
landing valuable cargoes of expen-
sive liquors on the New Jersey coast,
in the opinion of revenue agents.
In maritime circles persistent
stories have been told of strange
vessels approaching merchantmen
on the open seas, as though prepared
to attack, and then dashing off into
the darkness without answering code
signals.
What revenue officers believe to
be the explanation of such unusual
actions on the high seas was brought
about through seizure of liquor val
ued at $4,000. which is said to have
been landed along the cove in Wild
wood from mystery ship"
Several days before the LIQUOR
was discovered an unknown steam
era was seen maneuvering just out
side the three mile limit off Wild
wood. Revenue officers were sent
to watch it. The vessel disappear
ed. but not before, officers think, it
had discharged a cargo of whiskey.
Prohibition agents declare they are
confident smuggling is being con-
Quoted on tremendous scale. Car
goes worth vast fortunes are be-
lieved to have been brought from
foreign countries. transferred to
small boats and cached in unfre-
quented spots.
1t is thought probable that the
blockade runners have also trans
ferred their illegal cargoes to vessels
bearing authoritative clearance pa
pers. This, officials say, would ac-
count for the strange actions of the
mystery ships"
The explanation is this:
The captain of the liquor laden
vessel is instructed to meet another
vessel bound for the American port
at a given point along the coast,
and transfer his liquor which can
then be landed with a legitimate
cargo. When the runner reaches
the rendezvous she approaches va
rious vessels AMI failing to get the
proper signals hurries off to pre-
vent discovery.

NV ii, Il. HUNT

| WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The
most distinguished gathering Of
world statesmen ever essemhled np
American soil will gatter in Wash.
ington probably early in November,
for the conference to be called by
President Harding to consider limita-
| tion of ornaments.
In addition to representatives of
the six powers directly included In
the conference, special diplomatic
observers will be there from as many
more countries.
Already many suggestions are be-
ing heard in official quarters as to
delegates.
For United States. 1t is understood
no person who had any connection
with the peace negotiations at YER
sailles will have any major part In
the Washington conference.
The representatives from each
country are expected to number
either three or five--probably the
former. Each mission will be ac-
companied by staffs of experts.
The United States delegation. 1t is
stated in high quarters. will be BIZ
partisan or rather, non-partisan.
However. two of three representa-.
tives. if that number is decided on.
will be Republicans or at least three
of five. if the larger number are
chosen.
Hughes and Root on U. S. Delegation
Secretary of State Hughes and
Elihu Root, former secretary OF
state, are declared certain to be
named OF. the American delegation.
George Wickersham is mentioned as
a possible third Republican, but It Is
more probable if three Republicans
are named the third member will
be Chairman Lodge of the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee. If Lodge
is given a place it is believed Senator
Hitchcock, ranking Democratic
member of the committee. also will
be named, and perhaps a second
Democrat In Charles r. Crane, for
mer ambassador to China.

likely representatives from the for.

JUDGH MURDERED WITH AXE.
Wife Jumps From Bed Screaming
for Help.

Meridian, Miss, Jan. 14.-Mrs.
Moody Price was able tonight to give
a more coherent account of the muir
der of her husband, Judge Price,
whose body was found in bed beside
that Of his wife this morning, with
hs head hacked and mangled by the
blade of an axe, ten blows having
been dealt him by two intruders, eth

fatal.
According to Mrs. Price, who was
dealt one blow by the marauders as
she jumped from the bed screaming
when her husband was attacked, she
was rendered unconscious from the
blow, or tainted from fright. She and
Judge Price were awakened by a
noise, and as they sat up in bed
they were blinded by fashlight, and
she was only able to distinguish the
outlines of two forms. Her screams
attracted her son and daughter and
son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Var

Marlborough hurried down stairs,
where he found Mrs. Price in the
hallway and Judge Price lying upon
the bed, mortally wounded, the bloody
axe on the floor. Telephone wires had
been cut.
Two Revolvers Found.
Police investigation revealed that
a crowbar had been used to force an
entrance through the bath room win
dow. On the rear porch were found
the trousers of Judge Price, two re-
volvers and purse belonging to Mrs.
Price.
A bloodhound was placed on the
trail about noon today, which led
east OF the city, along a circuitous
route, but the trail was lost when it
reached a public highway four miles
from he scene of the murder. A cor
oner's jury began an Investigation
late today, but it is stated that no
light has been thrown on the murder.
The investigation will be resumed to-
morning.
Judge Price was formerly United
States commissioner here and deputy
clerk Of the Federal Circuit court.
