Identification Marks
Both Asthma Suf-

Gorham, Maine, Sept. 26.--The
bodies of two men, past middle life
and believed from their appearance
to be brothers, were discovered to-
day hanging from limbs of a huge
pine tree in a thick growth of wood
land, hair a mile from South street.
The FIRST theory advanced was that
they had hanged themselves recent
ly in a suicide pact.
Although hanging from different
limbs, the bodies swung close togcth-
er and the position OF the right hand
of one and the left hand of the
other indicated that they may have
been held in a final clasp. Almost
directly under them was a small pile
of ashes, which, in the opinion of
those first upon the scene, We're
produced by the burning of their
only definite marks of identification
papers or letters in their clothing.
1t also was apparent they had at
tempted to scratch from the inner

One of the men was about 50 and
the other, perhaps go. They were
about the same height, five feet nine
inches, and weighed 1o5 pounds.
Their hair was sharply tinged with
gray. Both were well dressed, in
practically new clothing. Their
faces bore striking resemblance.

deputies, and DR.. r. l.. Goodhue, a

Clothes Line May
Prove Clue to
Identity of Men

Portland, Me, Sept. ga new
clothes line, equally divided between
the two elderly mon found dangling
from its ends at Gorham today, is
regarded by Sheriff King F. Graham
as the clue most likely to solve the
Identity of the two, believed to be
brothers who returned to the scene
of their youth for the climax of their
life journey.
Sheriff Graham believes the clothes
line was bought in this vicinity and
flat the men purchased it within a
day or two of their death. He is of
the opinion that the men came to
this section by train within a week.
A Boston & Main time table found on
one of the bodies, suggesting the pair
had recently travelled. Sheriffs and
police are now trying to determine
where they remained between the
time of their arrival and the hour of
their self-destruction. and where they
bought the clothes line, their instru-
mcnt of death.
Sheriff Graham IS convinced the
men we're former ToSiuGntS OI 1OTlldIIl
and knew the territory well as the
scene of the double hanging is diff
cult of access and would hardly be
chosen by strangers.
Previously undiscovered Identical
ton marks are a small scar on the
left wrist of one man and the laundry
mark, W.-136. on the shirt bands of
both. One had s12 in his pocket and
the other s. and a Waltham watch
which had stopped at 500. Medical
Examiner r. f. Goodhue gave the
opinion that the men had been dead
less than week, probably but a few
days.
Investigation here of the laundry
mark led to Springfield, Mass, man
who had some work done here a short
time ago but he was eliminated when
it was found that he was in SPRING
field this morning.

NOT TO INTERFERE
WITH BOOZE SHIPS
OUTSIDE smile

Washington, Sep. 26-(By A. p
-(lirtailment of the activities of
American prohibition enforcement
officers on the high seas was decided
upon today by President Harding
and his cabinet.
Search Of foreign vessels for con-
traband liquor outside the interna-
tional three mile limit may be made
hereafter, it was stated authorita-
lively, only in the event that the
vessels actually establish communi-
cation with American shores by
means of their own crews or small
boats. Search under such circum-
stances was upheld recently by Fed
eral District Judge Morton at Bos-
ton, in the case of the British
schooner, Grace and Ruby. An APP
peal in the case has been taken to
the Supreme Court, and it was stated
a decision would be fastened.
Foreign vessels outside the three
mile limit unloading their cargoes of
contraband rum to craft from
American shores would not come
within the federal law. in the view
Of high administration officials. The
American craft undertaken gto land
the contraband, however. would be
subject to search and seizure.
Enforcement of the prohibition act
at sea. which, for some time has
been the subject of diplomatic ex-
changes between the American and
British governments, occupied much
of the time of the cabinet.
Search of foreign vessels for con-
traband liquor within u miles Of
the coast line, has been undertaken
by prohibition officers under the
direction of customs officials and un-
der a more than century old Gus
toms law. The executive and his
advisors took the view that there
were some authorizations in this law
out Of harmony with international
law and which. if carried out. pro-
badly would involve the United
States in international embarrass-
ments.
Regulations in accord with the
decision of the cabinet, and affecting
the customs service as we'll as the
prohibition bureau. will he issued as
soon as practicable, it was stated to-
night at the treasury.
New York, Sept. 26.-John D. Apple
by, prohibition zone chief for New
York and New Jersey and the head Of
the dry navy. said tonight that restric-
tons for enforcing prohibition beyond
tho three-mile limit which were de-
cided upon at the cabinet meeting in

hibition forces afoat

SEN. WATSON DIES
ASTHMA ATTACK IN
WASHINGTON HOME

Washington, Sept. 81. >. Sena-
tor Thomas +. Watson of Georgia,
died suddenly at his home here early
today. Death was said to be due to
an attack of asthma from which
Senator Watson has suffered recur-
rently for some years.
Although failing health had inter-
rupted Senator Watson's attendance
at Senate sessions frequently in the
last several months, he was in his
seat Friday when the Senate ad-
journed and his friends believed that
he was then showing improvement.
He was stricken suddc rly after din
ner last night and passed away short
Iy after 3 o'clock this morning. He
was Sc years of age.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 2G-(By a. P)-
Senator Thomas L. Watson of Geor-
gia, who died suddenly at his resi-
dence in Washington early today was
one of the most famous figures in
the history of Georgia politics, and
during the past four years was con-
sidered by observers as welding the
strongest political influence in the
state.
As an author, Watsons best known
work was THE Story Of France"
which was used in the schools of
France.
The Sage of McDufflc," as he was
known by his followers throughout
the state, built Up his political
strength through his publications.
When the government stopped his
two papers during the war, he soon
was publishing the Columbia Senti
mel. This weekly paper has been de-
voted to discussion of state and ma
tional politics and during the sena-
tors residence in Washington, often
contained accounts of his daily rec
ord in the Senate.
During the latter part of his 1920
senatorial campaign, he was arrested
and charged with disorderly conduct
at Buford. Later the charges were
dism ssed
In 1914 Watson was indicted in the
Federal court at Augusta on the
charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails. He appeared as
chief counsel in his defence and
charged that the indictment was the
result of his attack on Catholicism
There were many stormy court room
scenes during the trial, which re-
suited in his acquittal
