May Ask Legislation.
OBY Tie limited preNl

Washington, Oct. H. President
Harding and his cabinet are consid-
ering asking congress TO modify the
Volstead law, as the result of the
Daugherty ruling which makes the
sea much dryer"
Foreseeing tickllsh international
tangle with the powers Of the world,
leading officials of the administra-
tion are gradually coming to believe
that the ruling goes too far. They
assert, however. in view of the text
of the volstead law, and the de-
cisions of the supreme court that II
can be modified only by amending
the prohibition statute.
The view that regulations for en-
forcing the ruling are too extreme
is held by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon who has refused to approve
imposing the penalty of seizure and
forfeiture on ships found to be
carrying liquor in violation of the
Daugherty declaration. Several mem
bers Of the cabinet are nnder the
law as 1t now stands, would be
forced to approve seizure and for
feiture of big ships violating the
ruling, Just as automobiles are now
confiscated for carrying liquor on
land.
Under the Mellon regulations, now
postponed for week, any ship
leaving a foreign port after today
with liquor aboard and headed for
an American port would have vio-
lated the ruling.
The injunctions obtained against
the ruling in New York are under
stood to have caused the order for
another week Of grace. President
Harding, Haines stated, will issue a
statement later today outlining the
governments position on the in
functions.
Hearing on the temporary injunc-
tions obtained are to be held be-
fore Federal Judge Hand in New
York on October IL. A decision may
be rendered before the week Of
grace expires.

CONTINUE JONES
CAMPAIGN HERE
Legion, Lions, Rotary and kiwanls
Join to Keep Granville Jones and
His Americanism Program
Going Three More Days.

DR.. Granville Jones, who has de-
livered a series of addresses at the
Oklahoma College for Women dur
ing the past week, in his political
revival program, is to be in Chick
asha for three more lectures, start
ing tomorrow evening at the Sugg
theatre at 1880, when he will de-
liver the first of three addresses on
Americanism, "The Creed of Dem
ocracy."
Arrangements for the additional
lectures, were completed this morn
ing through the cooperation Of the
American Legion, the Lions, the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis clubs of this city.
This is but an extension of the pro
gram which has been carried out at
the Oklahoma College for Women,
G. w. Austin, president of the in
stitution having arranged for the
series of lectures there.
On Monday evening, DR.. Jones
will deliver his lecture, the "Ene-
mics of Democracy" at the court
house and on Wednesday evening,
he will talk on "The Opportunities
of Democracy"
All the lectures to be delivered
by Dr.. Jones, are free to the public
the organization named having taken
care of the expense in line with
the gneral program launched by Mr..
Austin and the Oklahoma College
for Women.
DR.. Jones closed his engagement
with the o. c. w. yesterday even
ing when he gave "The Philosophy
of Hillbilly." This lecture was
delivered here last year, the 0. C..
w. and Lions club cooperating to
bring the speaker here. So insist
ent was the demand for the repe-
tition of the lecture, that it was
given last night.
| Because the lectures DR.. Jones
has been delivering at the college
during the past week have made
such a decided impression on his
hearers, the organizations mentioned
decided to engage him for three
more lectures, to be given free of
charge and to which the public is
invited. All who have heard him
have become "Jones boosters" and
all agree that no program toward
Americanism has been more far
reaching than the Granville Jones
crusade here.

DAY IS EXPECTED
To LEAVE BENCH.
Resignation OF Justice Likely to
Come Within Next Ten Days
Duties as War Claims
Umpire Reason.
by LAURENCE VI. BENEDICT.
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent ,
Washington. Oct. 1.-THE belief
prevailed IN semi.offic'al circles 10
day that Associate Justice william
Il. Day. Of the United States fu-
preme court, will send letter Of
resignation 10 President lIafding In
the near future, possibly within the
next ten days.
Justice Day. II was reported. has
definitely made up his mind that
his duties as umpire IN the settle
ment OF war claims with Germany
will be OF such magnitude as TO re-
quire his entire time. The probable
ity that his work as umpire will
necessitate a trip abroad Is said TO
have influenced him finally against
making an effort to remain on the
bench. while acting in his new
capacity.
When asked whether he had de-
cided about retiring from the court,
bdg uttiihtu " tohiuitHt oht way
or the other.
Whenever have anything TO
say shall say II first to the presi-
dent" he told inquirers.
However. It was learned that
Justice Days duties as supreme
court Justice have been materially
lightened in the past few days in
anticipation of his resignation. No
more cases are being assigned to
him for study, IL was said. and al
though he continues to sit with the
court to hear arguments, he does
not share his usual burden "behind
the scenes" in the supreme court
chambers.
Justice Day, IL he resigns, will be
the second member of the supreme
court to retire within few months.
On July Is, Justice John II. Llarke
resigned.
There Is no reliable information
regarding Days probable successor
beyond the fact that he is almost
certain to be democrat Senator
John X. Shields, of Tennessee, and
John w. Davis. of West Virginia,
former ambassador to England, are
being mentioned.

WAGE INCREASE
GRANTED TO MEN
Maintenance of Way Workers Get
Two Cents More Per Hour by
Decision of Board--Order
Effective October 16.
CIV The IInited Press.l


Chicago, Oct. 14.-Pay of railroad
maintenance-of-way employees today
was increased two cents an hour by
the United States Railroad Labor
board.
The increase affects 451,911 men.
The increase will amount to $22,-
125,562.40 in a year.
The decision of the board, which
breaks a deadlock extending over a
period of several weeks in which the
members were unable to agree upon
upon the amount of an increase, will
make the minimum rates of pay for
maintenance-of-way workers from 25
to 81 cents an hour.
This is one cent an hour above the
recent wage advance announced by
the United States Steel company for
unskilled labor.
About As per cent Of the men will
get 81 cents an hour or more, and
40 per cent will receive above 80
cents an hour. Only about per
cent will receive less than 80 cents
hourly.
Rates of pay for 1000 maintenance
of-way men will be under that figure
as the union organization made agree
ments with several smaller roads to
accept a lower figure than that set
by the board.
The New Haven and some other
lines are already paying higher than
the boards figures.

here early this morning when the

The blast shook the entire town
and was heard for several miles.
Police admitted they had no clues
that lead TO the solution OF the
blast.
That jealousy was the motive for
the dynamitlng OF the one story,

OF police here today. although they
were disinclned to expose their
"leads" in the mystery blast.
Erlewein, Farrell and Miss Jones
occupied the three rooms In the rear
of the building, and according TO
police, could easily have been located
by jealous man. The dynamite
charge was believed TO have been
placed underneath the dead mans

The hotel was levelled TO the
ground by the explosion but no fire
followed the dynamiting and rescue

Immediately after they were rescued

Manchester. Eng, Oct. 1--we
have not been war mongers, but
peace Makers" Premier Lloyd
George declared today In his speech
defending the Near East policy Of
his ministry.
The premier spoke here at lun-
cheon OF the National Reform club.
The fiery Welshman charged that
the government had been assailed
with unprecedented misrepresenta-
tions.
He excoriated the anti-government
press and praised the speech made
yesterday at Birmingham by Austen
Chamberlain, leader of the govern
ment IN the House of Commons.
Lloyd George stated that the
Turks, since 1914. had slaughtered
In cold blood million and half
Armenians and half million
Greeks.
I'VE are determined" he said ito
prevent a repetition in Thrace of
the unutterable horrors In Asia Mi
nor. 1t was necessary to act prompt
ly, resolutely and firmly"
"There is no use trying to bluff

premier stated. "The Turks knew
we meant 1t, and that Is the reason
We have peace.
"The French government sent us
I message declaring il the Turks
)r Greeks invaded the neutral zone
The allies would resist with force"
I'VE were accused" the Premier
"of departing from the
old diplomacy, but the new displom-
acy of 1922 brought peace, while
the old would have brought the most
disastrous war the world has ever
seen."
The premier then spoke concern
ing the general election-which

gian policies.

whose cause I've never betrayed in
32 years Of public life he con-
tinued.
"My course is clear. I'll support
any government devoting itself to
measures which do not inflict per-
manent injury on the country"
AT the moment when the premier
spoke the coalition government was
believed to be in danger of over
flow. Labor was marshallng all its
forces for general election which
is believed imminent.
Conservative "die hards' were
pulling away from the Lloyd George
rule. Independent Liberals were
slipping one by one from the pre-
mier's support to oposition of his
policies.
The hour was a dramatic one for
all Britain. Lloyd George had an
audience with the king yesterday,
and it was half expected he might
indicate the approach of dissolution
Of parliament and a call for a gen.
eral election.
