American Ships
AreCiyen Permit
to Sell Liquor
Treasury Issues Regulations
Placing Shipping Board
Boats on Same Basis
as Foreign Craft.

Washington, June l6.-Sale OF
liquor on shipping board vessels
outside the three-mile limit is per-
missible under new treasury regula-
tions issued today. according to P.
A. Wise, general counsel Tor the pro-
hibition unit.
The Interpretation was taken as
settling for the time being the con-
troversy over liquor on government
ships, precipitated by Adolphus
Busch III, the St. Louis brewer,
when he wrote President Harding
that the government wes~ engaging
in the bootiegging business by per
hitting sale Of alcoholic beverages
on shipping board vessels. =.
Solution of the problem, Wayne
B. Wheeler, general council of the
Anti-Saloon league declared tonight
Lies in excluding all ships that sell
liquor from American ports. Legis-
lation to this end is being consider
ed, he said, asserting that by put
ting both American and foreign YES
sells OH an equal footing with respect
to liquor the competitive feature Of
the question would be removed.
The new regulations were not
drafted with the view of settling the
question of liquor on shipping board
vessels, Mr.. Wise said, and in fact
were written before that question
arose. As drawn, however. he said,
they would apply equally to Ameri-
can and foreign ships in permitting
Intoxicating sea stores within the
three-mile limit under the customs
regulations which provide that while
in American ports all liquors on
board ship must be sealed up.

presses me-" Bryan said.
The petition is signed by demo-
Gratis frankly dissatisfied with the
failure of Senator Hitchcock to lead
democracy away from the Norton
fusion effort and show the party's
teeth to members of the third party
who are blamed for wrecking democ-
racy at this time.
Signers of the Bryan petition have
refused to rally around Dan Butler
of Omaha, the only dyed-in- -the-wool
democrat, because Butler has refused

Held-Veydict Reached
OIL Second
Ballot.

Telegram. )-Louis Clernt. third of
the Omaha trio to go on trial here
for the robbery of the Decatur State
bank, June 2. was found guilty by
jury in district court at | 80 this
afternoon, OH the second ballot.
The defendant apparently was not
affected by the verdict and informed
the court he had nothing to say.
His attorney waived all arguments
before the jury, evidently hinging his
hopes OIL an appeal to tine supreme
court, where, it is said, he intends to
test the constitutionality of the act
under which all three OF the men were
found guilty.
Two Others Sentenced.
Immediately after the discharging
Of the jury, Judge c. A. Goss in
structed the sheriff to bring before
him the other two defendants. Ben
King and Gottfried Perscek.
Perscek. when ordered by the court
to give reason why the judge should
not pronounce sentence. replied that
he had nothing to say Judge Goss,
upon recommendation Of the county
attorney, sentenced the prisoner to
10 years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary.
Perscek did not appear to be af-
fected by the sentence, having re-
marked few minutes earlier that he
would have job in Lincoln for the
next 10 years" ~
2o-year Term Asked. ~
King, also, had nothing to say
when given opportunity by the court.
The county attorney, in his recon-
mendations, asked 2O-year sentence
for King, alleging that the defendant
had perjured himself in his apparent
effort to clear himself and pave the
way for an acquittal for Clernt. The
county attorney also said that King
had maintained an attitude of mock
cry toward the court.
The judge, however. stated that
both men should get equal terms and
sentenced King to 10 years.
1t is expected that Clernt's attor-
neys will ask new trial within a
few days, at which time sentence will
be pronounced.
The courtroom was packed at the
trial today, many spectators bringing
their lunches and eating them in the
building. The trial has attracted
more interest than any other here
in the last 80 years. ....
