 Katherine Mccarthy, who could swim, screamed suddenly for help and sank as if pulled down. Her father lounging in his automobile. ran into the lake and stepped into hole at the place his daughter sank, thirty-five feet from shore. He could not swim. Their bodies were recovered.
 Justice Egbert Le Cluse of the Town Board declared the beaches must be closed till the death trap that has claimed many good swim- mers has been rendered harmless.

New York Business House Tired
 Of Paying Tax on It

New York, June 23.-The telephone bell in the office of John s. Parsons, chief prohibition enforcement agent, rang at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and it was answered by woman Ii stenographe who called MT. Parsons to the wire.
 Are you the head prohibition of fcer?" said mans voice.
 I'm Mir. Parsons, the chief enforce ment agent for this district" was the reply.
 Now listen. Mr. Parsons, this is Walter Wurmsley, manager of B. B. Davis & Co. of 25o Hudson street and have real job for a few of your agents right here on our premises, ' Mir. Wurmsley said.
 B. B. Davis & Co. before the advent of the Volstead act did a large whole sale liquor business, but since then has been distributing agency for non, alcoholic beverages.
 We are always ready for tips from the public about the sale of liquor. Tell me what you would like to have us do," said MT. Parsons.
 Want It Destroyed.
 Now Mr. Parsons, please send over six of your agents to our place of want to as we want some choice brands of liquor. wines and cordials destroyed that we do not want on our hands any longer" said the voice.
 Say that again." broke in Mr. Par sons, who received the surprise of his wet enforcement life at the request. So far as is known this was the first time that the owner of any kind of liquor had voluntarily asked for its conhscation and destruction.
 MT. Parsons delegated six of his trusted rum sleuths to go to the David plant on Hudson street. where they arrived in a hurry in an automobile. MT. Wurmsley led them (vountarily) into 8 rear room, where the pre-pro- brands were stored.
 What shall we do with it?" asked one of the agents.
 Take it out in the gutter and spill it," was the reply We are sick and tired of paying Government taxes on this stuff, which we have had in our stock for more than fifteen years"
 But you don't mean to say you want all this excellent stuff dumped into the sewer? My, this is terrible" commented one of the rum sleuths.
 Big Stock Gone.
 The stock included forty-one cases md thirty-five gallon containers of old Italian wine, two cases of French brandy, three cases of ginger brandy, | three cases of blackberry brandy, .wenty- one cases and twenty-one gal on containers of orange bitters, one case of triple sec and single bottles of imported cordials.
 The agents, rather closely scrutin- zed by members of the Davis concern. broke the bottles against the wall of | he brick building and the contents | trickled across the driveway into the | gutter.

Urges Amateur Wireless Operators to
 shorten Wave Length.

Atlantic City, N J., June 23.-Gug- lielmo Marconi passed yesterday here prior to his departure for the wire less station at Tuckerton. He issued a message to the wireless operators of America.
 T am amazed at the general in- terest which is manifested by laymen in wireless in America, and I think it wonderful that there are so many amateur sets here" he said. If I may be allowed a suggestion l would urge the operators to endeavor to shorten the wave length. Today the average length used by amateurs is 25o meters. An effort should be made to bring 1t down to one meter if possible. With wave length of that brevity it would enable not onH amateurs but the world to talk from house to house within a restricted area without others listening i'm

 Ban "Stunt" Flying,

Washington, June 23.-Rigid air rules growing out of the flying over the Lincoln Memorial of an airplane while President Harding was speaking on May 30 became effective in the District of Columbia yesterday-the first of the kind adopted by any state or city.
 Probably the most drastic of the regulations require the licensing of all aviators except those in the govern ment service--such as an army, navy marine corps and postal-and pro- hibit flying over Washington at an altitude of less than 5000 feet except when landing or taking off. Trick flying and acrobatic stunts are banned absolutely, at any altitude.
 Licenses issued in any other state will be recognized by the District com missioners, who caused the regula- tions to be issued, and no licenses will be required for aircraft in transit.

 Miss Weaver asserts this was not the cause of her death. Both of these deaths, Miss Weaver declares, fol- lowed the birth of children. She swears that George Lott. on one oc- casion, took the bodies of two chill dren into the back yard and buried them, and that another time a baby born to a Mrs. Brown was burned by young Lott She declares that two of the infants were alive and healthy when born.
 Her story Is further borne out by Miss Elizabeth Metcher. another nurse at the hospital.
 The police charge that shortly be- fore her death Mrs. Miller made out two life insurance policies in Mrs Lott's favor. Her body will be ex- humed immediately by the authori- ties.
