BRITAIN APPRECIATES
A FLORIDA BOY

Daytona, Oct. 17-Charles S. Spark
man, younger brother of Hugh Spark
man, publisher and editor of the Day
tona Morning Journal, is believed to
have been the first Floridian killed in
the World War. Charles left his home
in Palmetto, Manatee county, early In
1915, went to Jamaica and few
weeks later enlisted with a British
West Indian regiment. After a period
of training he was sent to Egypt
where he served a year before going
to the French front. He was killed at
Ypres on July %, 1917, just after the
United States declared war.
Mr.. Sparkman has just received
from the British government a memo
rial scroll and bronze plaque which
are being sent to the next of kin of
all members of the British forces who
lost their lives during the conflict. A
note from King George which accom-
panies the memorials follows:
81 join with my grateful people in
sending you this memorial of brave
life given for others in the Great
War"

MUST BE CAREFUL ABOUT
USING MIAMI AIR

Miami, Oct. 17-Because the atmos-
phere over and above Miami was con-
gested with airplanes and seaplanes
during the tourist season last winter,
the municipal government is taking
steps to enact an ordinance for the
regulation of airmen and their ma
chimes. Mayor LETTER states that one
provision will prohibit the passage Of
any machine over the city at an alti-
tude of less than fifteen hundred feet
and that no parking will be permitted
on the bay front near Royal Palm
Park.
Each plane here will have certain
marking on the under side of the
lower wings, of such size that one can
be distinguished when the plane is at
an altitude of 1900 feet, another at
1000 feet and the third at 500 feet.
If the police or any citizen notice a
plane flying over the city and can dis
tinguish either the 500 foot or 1000
foot mark it will be taken for grant
ed that the pilot has violated the
ordinance.

LEGAL BATTLE OVER HIGH.
SEAS LIQUOR

New York, Oct. 1.-THE legal bat
tie to determine the right of foreign
owned ships to enter ports in the
United States with liquor aboard was
opened last night with the issuing by
District Attorney Hayward of a reply
to the bills in equity brought by five
foreign steamship companies to re-
strain enforcement of the recent rul-
ing preventing the carrying of liquor
on vessels entering American ports.
The reply makes in the main, four
contentious:
That the district court, before which
the cases are to be heard, has no juris.
diction in the matter; that suits are
really against the United States gov
ernment; that they do not show the
government has consented to be sued,
and that they do not disclose any
basis for an action in equity.
Upon these grounds the defense of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
Henry c. Stuart. acting collector of
customs for the port Of New York,
and Ralph A. Day, federal prohibition
director for the state of New York,
who are made defendants in the suits
brought by the companies, will be
built in court today.
Mr.. Hayward, who is acting for
Secretary Mellon in the reply, answers
specifically the ground upon which the
requests for injunctions are based.
AS to the difficulty which the for
eign steamship companies state they
would suffer by reason of laws COM
pelling them to furnish wines to men,
bers of the crew, District Attorney
Hayward says the payment of higher
wages would recompense crews for the
lack of such stimulants.
Regarding the loss of the profit
made by the foreign ships in the sale
of liquor, Mr.. Hayward claims that
this loss is the only one which the
companies will suffer under strict
adherence to the new ruling.
To the charge of the complaining
steamship companies that the attor-
ney generals ruling is a misinterpre-
tation of the Volstead act, the reply
states:
'If the complainants are correct in
their construction of the national pro-
hibition act, the implications involved
are exceedingly serious and the claim
of the complainants, if allowed, would
carry with it as a necessary corollary,
the right of any ship to transport liq-
uor within the territorial waters of
the United States"
Answering the plea of the carriers
to permit the possession on board
ships of liquors, which would be kept
under lock and key during 'in port"
periods, the defendants claimed that
such permission would make the en-
forcement of prohibition against the
importation of liquors "already diff
cult" practically impossible.
The enforcement of the ruling of the
attorney general as to foreign ships
is necessary to the protection of
American owned tonnage the reply
said, holding ION information and be-
lief that the sale of Intoxicating Gq-
uors on the high seas by vessels car
rying the American flag ceased with
the issuance of the attorney generals
ruling, while sale of liquor on other
vessels has continued.
The continuance of such an arrange
ment will result, the reply charged, in
damage to the merchant marine
which will be great and irreparable. -
