MAN BADLY HURT
AS CAR OVERTURNS
Cecil Rice and Seven Others
of Baltimore in Hyatts-
vile Auto Collision.

OverturninC of an automobile on
the ashington- Baltimore boulevard
in Hyattsville shortly after 9 o'clock
this morning resulted in the probable
fatal injury of Cecil Rice. the serious
injury of Mrs. William II. wilholm
and badly shaking up six other pas
sengers in the car. including Mrs.
Russell Riley, who was driving; Miss
Jean Rice. daughter of Mr.. Rice. and
four smallsr Rice children, all of
Baltimore
Mrs. Riley said that the automobile
was on the way to Washington and
was within the limits of the town of
Hyattsville when a large automobile
trucS crowded the road. She said
that she attempted to slow down to
avoid hitting the truck and the auto
mobile skidded to the sidewalk, which
a this point is eighteen inches below
the edge of the road, and then turned
over.
Pinned Under Machine.
Mr.. Rice. it was said by those who
talked with the motorists. was
pinned under the machine. Citizens
of Hyattsville and people passing in
automobiles quickly picked up the
party and took them to Casualty Hos
pital DIR. Robert B. Johnstone
Hyattsville, was among the first to
reach the scene of the accident, ap-
piled first aid and accompanied the
injured to the hospital. Mr. Rice was
placed on the operating table at the
hospital. but DR.. Johnstone said that
he cannot recover. His right foot and
part of his right leg were crushed to
a pulp and his abdomen was badly
torn.
Mrs. wnholm received a severe
cash over the right eye and is suf-
fering from shock.
Cause of Accident.
DR.. tombstone said that in his opin-
ion the accident was due both to the
manner in which the road is con-
structed at the point of the accident
and to the crowding of the truck
which belonged to a Baltimore con-
Germ. He explained that when the
road was constructed the citizens
made a protest to the state highway
commission, but were informed that
no accidents had occurred and that it
would not be considered unless acci-
dents did occur.
The point where the accident oc-
Cured, he explained, is on a down
grade and the edge of the road is
eighteen inches above the sidewalk
of the town. 1t is an easy matter
for an automobile, crowded over by
some other car, to drop this eighteen
inches on one side, and this is what
happened this morning, he said.
When the brakes were applied by
Mrs. Riley the car was so near this
edge that when the wheels slipped a
little the right side of the car went

Law-Abiding Penalised.
1--WE presented to the President in
December, 1921, facts which prove
that the governmet has not been

the laws and enriching those who.
with impunity and. without apparent

letter. dated December 10. 1921, to
our attorney, Oliver T. Remmers "a
copy of which I brought with me to
show to some friends in Europe):
"I can say: however, that the gov

1t must be confessed that many diffl-
culties are put in the way Of those
charged with this responsibility. I
do not think they are permanently
insurmountable. If such an unfor-

Ruling by Frierson.
The ruling Of the ships liquor ques-
ton, to which Mr.. Lasker refers in
his letter, was made by William L.
Frierson. acting attorney general. No
vember. 1920 for the Secretary of the
Treasurer 1t reads as follows:
THE eighteenth amendment en-
powers Congress to enact laws appli-
cable wherever the jurisdiction Of the
United States exists. The national pro-
hibition act is a law of such general
application. l cannot doubt. there
fore. that it applies to those on board
American ships, whether in American
waters, on the high seas or in for
eign waters. equally with those in any
of the states of the United States
Mr.. Lasker made public at the same
time the text Of an opinion just rem
oered to him by Elmer Schlesinger,
general counsel of the Shipping
Board, unfolding anew the legality of
the serving of liquor on American
ships at sea. The opinion was based
largely on the limitation in the eight
eenth amendment of its operation TO
the United States and all territory
subject to the Jurisdiction thereof
and on recent rulings of the Supreme
Court in liquor cases which. Mr..
Schlesinger declared, held the prohi-
bition laws to be effective through
cut the entire territorial limits of the
United States"
Numerous Cases Cited.
The opinion cited numerous cases to
show that American ships outside the
:hree-mile limit could not be con-
sidered within the jurisdiction OF the
United States government.
',An effort to discredit prohibition"
was the Interpretation placed on the
Busch letters by Wayne B. Wheeler
general counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League.
Il hold no brief for the Shipping
Board in this controversy" Mr.
Wheeler said today. 1T is able to
take care of itself. Our attitude with
reference to the sale of liquor on ships
within the jurisdiction of the United
States has been clear-cut and con-
sistent ever since the law went into
effect. We contended before the
Justice Department that it was
Illegal to transport or possess liquor
on any ship within the Jurisdiction Of
the United States. The department
and the Supreme Court have sustained
that construction of the law.
II cannot too strongly condem this
attack by the brewers upon the gov
ernment and it's officers, but rejoice
that the decision Of the Supreme Court
has now removed all doubt upon the
construction of the law, SO that the
discrimination against American ships
which has been seized upon by the
liuuor interests as an argument
against prohibition need no longer
exist"

 There was little opposition to the resolution despite the fact that a telegram was received from Juneau saying the club there had not en- dored any such move as reported. The resolution came up on report from a committee composed of T. A Wade, Isador Bayles, P. F. Reinhart and A. G. Thompson.
 The divisional movement is in re. a1ity the outcome of an anticipated movement of the capital from Juneau to the westward. To obviate the fight that would occur if such 8 move ment is launched it appears to be the sense of a majority of the citizens of Anchorage that division would be the Anchorage Times.
