President Harding again postponed
today the enforcement Of the drastic
liquor regulations as they affect for.
eign vessels.
Announcement was made at the
White House that the President had
signed an order extending until oc-
tober 81, one week from today, the
date under which foreign vessels may
freely enter and leave American ter
ritorial waters with their liquor
stores unmolested by Government en-.
forcement agents.
The Presidents extension of the
time Of the operation of the
Daugherty opinion will allow most
ocean liners leaving European ports
not later than October 81, TO have
fun liquor cargoes aboard, to make
American ports, and complete re-
turn voyage with whatever sur
plus liquors may be aboard without
interference by American customs
or enforcement authorities.
As most OF the ocean liners re-.
quire five days and more to make
the trip from European to Amer.
can ports, Il became evident that
such vessels win be immune from
liquor searches until after these
voyaees begun after October q. are
completed. I

The premier made the startling

On Virginia Gambling
CITIZENS OF ARLINGTON COUNTY. VIRGINIA.

GREETINGS: - .
There has been q great interest
in the activities Of the iawless ele-
ment In this county during the
past two years. Certain gambling
and liquor interests in and around
Washington, d. c., have appar-
entity selected this county as q
safe territory In which to ply
their trade. Many other unlawful
operations continue unmolested.
We are not fanatics on this
subject, neither do we wish to
appear unreasonable, but as citi-
zens, taxpayers and voters we de-
mand that an attempt be made to
erase these now iAtolerable con-
ditions. We expect the law to be
enforced, and when there 10 lax
enforcement we stand upon our
prerogatives as citizens in seek
ing, by lawful means, to find
remedy. We want the county to
be governed by the regularly
constituted authorities" and We
agree that mo man or set Of men
should be permitted to take the
law into their own hands" We
are law-abiding citizens, and We
have never taken the law into our
own hands. nor have We ever
contemplated such action.
We have collected evidences
from time to time. and we have
tried 10 ret action, but without
success. We fkeeintiy eaifed the
pubiic,s attention TO q few con.
ditions that existed In the county.
We now wish to presently addi-
tional Developments.
For some months we have
been investigating and observing
the operations OF one gambling
ring which has been sponsoring
three gambling places in this
county. These places are known
as "Dowerdy's" (near Alexan-
dria), "The Hilltop" formerly
Columbus Country Club. and
"The Elite" tnear Chain Bridge).
Some forty-odd Klansmen have
attended those places for the
purpose OF getting the informa-
ton and evidence. These three
places have had an aggregate
attendance Of from 1000 to 1000
nightly, and upwards OF 1000
on Saturday nights. Tens of
thousands Of dollars change
hands every night. A number
Of bus lines convey members to
and from the houses. These au-
tomobiles are run over a de-
fined route and have a regular
schedule. Among others, the
following are some of the points
at which these automobiles re-
ceive and discharge passengers:
