WILD PURSUIT OF
RUM RUNNERS
Gang From Canada Captured In GrOtOn
After Chase Through Several Towns
Some Shooting

ST JOHNSBURY, Aug. l.-After a
wild ride Saturday night from Aber-
corn, r. O., in big automobile which
"a posse OF officers finally caught in Gro
ton, VT, three men from Pawtucket,
X. l., are now safely lodged in Caledonia
county jail awaiting trial for am al
legged shooting when they left Abercorn
without paying for nearly 400 bottles of
liquor which they had stored in their
car. The men are George Savage, owner
and driver of the automobile, Joseph
Brecht and Steven Benskay.
As the car was leaving AbercOrn a
man was shot through the left hand
and Sheriff Worthen here received word
that a man had been KILLED at Abercorn
and that the three men were making
their escape through Vermont. With a
posse he started 10 meet them, but as
they had changed their number plate he
did not recognize the car when it passed
him above Lyndonville.
But suspecting he had met the party
he turned as quickly as possible, and as
they speeded up he fired several times

later, when the disarmament conference
is in progress. Lord Northcliffe himself
is going to the Far East and will be
there while the diplomats are assembled
in Washington. He has openly expressed
himself against the renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, but, nevertheless is a
good friend of the Japanese people. 1t
would not be surprising if Lord North
eliffe played prominent part through
his newspapers in shaping British pol
icy at the disarmament conference. Some
observers think that with true Northcliffe
skin the distinguished publisher has set
the stage for supreme effort to GUST
anothera British ministry.

FIGHT AGAINST
LEADER MONDELL
Several Hostile Factions In House May
Consolidate and Dust Him
From Position.

WASHINGTON, Aug. /. - Congress
man Mondell of Wyoming, Republican
floor leader of the house. is facing a re
volt by several factions. Their consoli-
dation might GUST him from his posi-
ton. Jim Mann of Illinois and his
faction are complaining because Mon
dell won { consent to a recess during
the dog days. Congress man Haugen of
Illinois, chairman of the house commit
tee on agriculture, heads another group
OF Republicans from agricultural states,
aroused because Mondell's evident de-
termination to kill measures carrying
special appropriations for relief pur-
poses in agricultural communities. Con
gresham Inkham of Boston heads
still another faction, which is bitter
against Mondell for his success in pre-
venting Tinkham from getting his case
tor an Investigation of the disfranchise-
ment of the Negro voter in southern
states before caucus of the Republi-
can house members.
Since Leader Mondell turned down
the request for a recess, the Mann fac
ton has displayed tendency to start
a fight on pending legislation whenever
possible, with the evident purpose of
prolonging consideration of every bill
and firing the members. Leader Mon
doll wants as much business as possible

that nothing likely to provoke serious
controversy would be taken up before

NOrthcliffe Had Good Time.

Notwithstanding the obvious delica-
cies of the situation. Lord NOrthcliffe
had a very good time, and official Wash
ington relished his visit. Especially be-
cause of the universal atmosphere it Gre
ated. The newSpapermen of Washing
ton, feeling no such restraints as affect
the government in such situation. gave
his iordship perhaps the most distinctive
entertainment that any foreigner ever re-
ceived in the capital This may have
been inspired by a professional admira-
tiOn for a man who ousted one ministry
and transformed the entire conduct of
the war by Great Britain or it may have
been the result of the splendid impress
sion which Lord Northcliffe had made
among those who know that he never
permits words of unfriendly criticism of
the United States to be printed in any of
the newspapers which he owns and con
| trolls. Anyway. it seemed fitting that
| this visitor. whose sincerity as a friend
| of the United States has never been
| doubted. should be given some token of
| the widespread appreciation in which
| he is held here. II so happens that the
only ones in Washington who were able
to manifest openly their regard for
| Northcliffe were the newSpapermen.
a Bit of British Politics.
! Although Washington is not familiar
with the niceties of English politics. the
| impression given by the Northcliffe party
| is that the recent outburst of hostility
on the part of the British government
grew out of a suggestion in one of the
| Northcliffe papers that the British ,lele-
gation to the forthcoming disarmament
conference at Washington should be "Om-
| posed of men who understood the Amer
| lean people. The Northclffe editorials
plainly diSapproved of the idea that Lord
! CurZon. British foreign secretary, should
| be a member of the delegation. contending
/ that he was of a British type not shifted
| for such an important mission. Simi-
| larry. the Northcliffe press has argued
against the proposed departure of Prime
| Minister Lloyd George from England,
and has used practically the same argu-
| ments against the coming to America a.
were employed in the effort to diSsuade
| President Wilson from going to Europe
| at the time of the peace conference. The
| Northcliffe idea seems to be that home af-
| fairs are in much too critical condition
| to be handled by a leaderless cabinet.
| Lord NOrthcliffe himself thinks ViScount
| Bryce. former British ambassador to the
| United States and distinguished author
| of books on American life and Lord
harmony with the American delegation at
| Paris. would be better suited to present
| the viewpoint of the British people.
! Ousting Another Ministry?
| The visit of Lord Northcliffe to Wash
| ington coupled with his severe criticisms
of British policy, may be the forerunner
of important events in British politics

planned openly to show their friendship

British embassy, which made last min

Lord Northcliffe did spend an hour

The presidents action follows a let
