NEW LONDON BOY IS
 HANGED FOR MURDER
John McHcnry Pays Extreme Penalty For Staying Of Two Persons
 In Washington, ID. c.

Washington, March 17.-John Nc Henry, aged A, former New London, Conn, youth, was hanged in the Dis trict of Columbia iail today for the murder of a Washington city detec- tive and an automobile dealer.
 Efforts to obtain a communication to life imprisonment for the youth were continued up to the last but failed, President Harding having refused to intervene in the matter. An attempt to prevent the hanging today was made by the local branch of the Sons of Irish Freedom, whose officers said the taking of McHenry's life today would amount to desecration of the feast of Ireland's patron saint
 McHenry was found guilty of kill ing the automobile dealer while at tempting to rob the dealers place of business and of killing the detective in an endeavor to escape. It was brought out at his trial that he had received sentences in several New England reformatories and other pen al institutions

MILLIONAIRE DODGE
 FIGHTING JAIL TERM Seeks Habeas Corpus Writ After Being Sentenced
 to Five Days

Detroit, March 17.-A fight to ob- tain release of John Duval Dodge, young Detroit millionaire, from the Detroit house of correction, where he was sent yesterday for a five day term by Judge Charles l.. Bartlett on a speeding charge, was begun by his counsel today. A writ of habeas cor pus was served upon the supernten- dent of the workhouse returnable later this forenoon before Circuit Judge Ira l.. Jayne.
 Dodge spent his first night in im- prisonment on cot in the jail cor ridor. having summoned a physician who declared he was suffering from a fever induced by nervousness and cx- citement. He was declared to be suf- ficiently recovered this morning, how ever, to be assigned to a job among other prisoners.
 Three jobs were held out as pos abilities, washing dishes, working on the coal pile or taking care of the prison furnace.
 The writ of habeas corpus presag- ing an appeal from Judge Bartlett's sentence, came as the "job" was about to be selected.
 When Dodge appeared before Judge Jayne the corporation counsel asked more time and the hearing went over until this afternoon.
 Counsel for the young millionaire alleged he was illegally arrested, H. legally convicted and illegally de- taineQ

PROHIBITION FOUND
 SOURCE OF BENEFIT
Probation Officer Feels Many Familic' Are Saved From priyation
 Through 18th Amendment

Mornings without single case on the police court docket, which have been numerous during the past year are responsible in great measure to prohibition, Probation Officer F. C. Connolly believes.
 The official comes into personal contact with every individual ar raigned either in police court or juvenile session, and it is his duty to make a history of each accused. 1n- vestigations of family conditions are also a part of his duties. His conver- sations with prisoners and his records of the past year indicate in his mind that prohibition has had some very beneficial effects
 The effect of restrictions on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks can be seen particularly in the number of cases of non support brought before the court. These, have been reduced to a minimum. In al most every instance of neglect ot family, the accused is an addict Of drink, the probation officers investi' gation discloses. With booze removed from the bread winner, innumerable families have been saved from priva- tion, it has been proved to the au- thorities.
 The number of plain trunks has al so been greatly reduced and many o1 the other crimes which have followed the excessive use of drinks are rapidly disappearing, perusal of the court records disclose

REKENLEAGENZy CAPTURE 24 MEN AND RUM RUNNING
 BOATM NEW YORK TODAY
.l5 YEAR OLD BOY IS
 STRANGELY MISSING Father Offers S5 Reward Youngster Last Seen on
 March II.

The police have another mystery on their hands in the strange disappear ancc of 15-year-old Paul Falls, who vanished last Saturday, after deliver ing q quart of milk for his employer
 For the past six months Paul has been employed by John Walko, milk dealer, who resides at 30 West street He is son of Mir. and Mrs. Peter Falls, of 136 Fremont street. Saturday forenoon, at 10:45 o'clock he left his employers place of business with a quart of milk for the family of AL Levinson, at 112 West street. The milk was found there by Mrs. Levinson shortly before noon. An empty bottle was gone. It was Pauls invariable custom to return with an empty bot tie from the Levinson home, and all though he took it away, neither boy nor bottle have been seen since. He never returned and no one seems to have seen him after leaving the Le- vinson home.
 Mrs. Levinson, whose husband IS a conductor for the Connecticut Co.,, said it was raining when the milk was delivered and she did not go outside, therefore had no conversation With the boy that morning.
 Neighbors as well as the boys par ents fear some mishap has befallen him. Theboy was regular in his habits always took his wages home to his mother and so far as is known, has not had any trouble anywhere. He was liked by his employer and was popular in the ncighborhood. Last summer he worked several months on farm in Newington and an older brother has systematically canvassed the Newington farms but has found no trace of him.
 He is described as being tall and thin He is dark compleXioned and has dark hair. lie weighs about 100 pounds When last seen he wore a black suit of working clothes with Hong trousers which was partially worn out. and sheepskin lined work ing overcoat.
 l He is the son of Sovak parents, speaks English fuently and has had about seven years public schooling. His father has authorized statement that he will pay s5 reward for any Information which leads to locating the boy.
 Early in the week the police de- partment was notified and neighbors have been interviewed as has the Levinson family by representatives Of the police department, but to date all efforts have been to no avail.
 A brother of the missing boy says he has an instinctive feeling that Paul is somewhere on a farm, but the small amount of money he had when last seen, being insufficient to keep him a week, and the belief that he would not stay away from home without let ting his parents know of his where abouts leads to feeling of foul play.

 Spectacular Raid
 The raid made shortly before dawn was spectacular.
 The customs men left their head quarters at the Battery in a large launch and moved up the East river Reaching the Bronx they spied move ments on the shadowy shore.
 Soon, schooner, automobiles and men were discernibe and a party landed Outposts were assigned and the rest of the agents swooped down upon the suspected rum runners.
 Fighting immediately broke out. Pistol flashes pierced the darkness. No One Shot
 In about 20 minutes the fight was over and ambulances summoned. It was found that no one had been shot but that many had received cuts which Required medical attention. Then the prisoners were herded into automobiles.
 Special Deputy Surveyor Jackson at the custom house later characterized the seizure as the most important made in New York since the advent of prohibition.
 "Conservatively speaking, I would say that morethan 2,0o0 cases of the best Scotch was seized at a value of aDCul nall llllllol uolldIS, uc Sdlu.
 All Well Dressed
 All the prisoners were well dressed. Many wore large diamonds.
 The customs authorities did not make public the full roster but in ad- dition to the children there were arr rested men who described themselves as real estate operators, saloon-keep- CTS, paper hangers, interpreters, chauffeurs and deck hands.

 "To-Be-Made" List
SIXTH WARD TOTAL IS $50

 Will Register to Vote Their Ticket -Selectmen to Administer Election
 Oath March 2i and 27.

Democrat leaders see additional cv- idence of interest in their party for the coming election in the fact that Registrar William J. Ziegler reports the sixth ward to have had the great est number of new applications 10 be made voters. The sixth ward is rec ognized to be the democrat strong hold with small percentage of re- publican voters They anticipate that the new voters will show a similar majority for the democrat party, thereby increasing what they claim is daily growing strength in the party.

UNDERWOOD AGREES
 WITH i. ]. .P.LEADER
Helmsmen Of Both Parties Feel US. Debt Should Be Paid
REFER TO S241,0O0,00O BILL
Senator Borah Says He Feels Sure Secretary Hughes Will Find Some Way In Which Government Can Collect Its Dues.

Washington, March IT. - Declara- ton that the United States should in sist upon payment of it's bill of $241,- 100000 for keeping American soldiers in Germany, were made in the senate today by both party leaders - Sena- tors Lodge and Underwood-and by Senator Borah.
 MT. Underwood also urged appoint ment of an American representative on the allied reparations commission.
 Both Senators Lodge and Under wood charged the allies with attempt ing "by technicalty" to oppose pay ment of the bill for the American troops while Senator Borah said the allies attitude was "entirely unwar- ranted."
 Blamcs Republicans
 Senator Underwood asserted the republicans were responsible for not having a member of the separations commission. This the democratic leader asserted was the only way in which the occupation claim could be collected. Senator Lodge and Poin- dexter, republican, Washington, de- nied this contention, declaring that the obligation to pay for the Ameri- can soldiers rested upon the armistice agreement and not upon either the treaty of Berlin or that of Versailles
 Senator Borah, brought up the question: He called attention to re- ports that Premier Poincare of France, had declared that America has no legal right to collect for the keep of American troops in Germany
 1T have no doubt that Secretary Hughes will work out some method of securing payment" said Senator Borah, adding that he was, however primarily interested in having all American troops brought out of Ger many.

Officials of Local Campaign Feel That Additional Re- quest Would Overburden Budget Being Sought.

Failing to get favorable action on the petition to be included in the United Communities Corporation drive, the Salvation Army officials plan to re- open their recent drive for 5000 in an attemept to secure the balance of the amount desired. Shortly before Christmas the army conducted cam paign for s5,000 of which only S2,300 was secured The drive never has been declared officially closed.
 Impossible This Year.
 Further action in connection with the fund was held off, when the army officials were advised to make appli- cation to the directors of the United Communities corporation to be in cluded in the spring drive.
 Application was made, but because of local economic conditions it was felt that it was impossible at this time to admit any other organiza- tions, and the petition was refused for this year.
 In order not to be accused of act ing impulsively and to give thorough thought, the matter was considered 
 when the original decision was con- tirmed.
 Some One Else Would Suffer. A letter received by Captain John Eden, from E. w. Pelton, chairman of the corporation, states that there is a feeling that money will be diff ficult to get and anything which would he allowed the Salvation Army would have to be taken from one of the other organizations. There also is a feeling that the addition of S5,O00 to the 40,0o0 already asked for would have tendency to overburden the budget, as the present amount re- quested is s2,000 over last years amount.
 Army Needs Money.
 On the other hand the Salvation Army officials feel that they have not enough money on hand to carry the work through and that it will be nec- essary to reopen their drive. The letter from the United Communities corporation will be forwarded to Stan Captain Tom Gabrielson, at Boston, who had charge of the drive here, and who is the ranking officer of this dis trict and further action will depend entirely on orders from him and Colonel Ben Nelson.

 CAUSED SICKNESS
As Result, New Jersey Judge
 Lets Her Go Home
OPPOSED TO MIXED JURIES
She Declares She Considers It As sault Upon Woman's Natural Mod 'csty, Reserve and Refinement Other Women Warned.

Trenton, March 17.--(By Associat- ed Press. )--Judge Marshal in the Mercer circuit of the court of com mon pleas has excused Mrs. Anna Cunningham from further jury serv- ice after hearing that her experience on two mixed juries within week had convinced her women were not fitted for such duty.
 During this time she was locked up for all night deliberation, and, she de- clares, she has not yet recovered from threatened nervous prostration. Her views were endorsed by her husband, James.
 "The present illness of Mrs. Cum ningham is the first at all serious in 16 years" he said. T attribute it solely to the mental and nervous strain to which she had been sub- jected."
 Reasons For Reluctance.
 Mrs. Cunningham cited numerous reasons for reluctance further to par ticipate in the administration of jus tice. Among these reasons were five children and a husband.
 "In some sense, 1 also consider that jury duty is an assault upon woman natural modesty, refinement and re- serve," she added. Some cases which she is called upon to consider are 0. a nature so delicate that she shrinks from a frank discussion of the evil dence and just verdict is lmpos- sible otherwise. I am speaking for the first time since I began service as a juror and do so now only that oth- CTS might know what to expect II they accept the obligation
