There was heavy rain falling dur

made the game mtre difficult, mud
and water being about six inches deep.
However, the heavy sback-field of Un-

AVLATORS MAKE
NEW AIR RECORD

San Diego, Cal, Oct. 6.-Lieuts
John A. MAcReady and Oakley Kelly
who had been flying over San Diego
since $3.50 yesterday in the mono
plane T-2, landed at Rockwell field at
5:11:30 today, having broken all rec
ords for sustained fight in a heavier
than air flying machine. They were
in the air 35 hours, 18 minutes, 80
seconds.
The aviators were well tired out
but willing, they said. to have con-
tinued their flight except for their
desire to reach the ground before
darkness should make landing more
difficult.
The landing of the big plane was
the signal for mighty chorus of
whistles from the vessels in the
harbor. When the airmen circled
own to the field small army of
spectators was waiting to greet them.
Capt r G Erwin, commandant of
Rockwell field, soon after the flight
ended gave out the time the aviators
had been aloft as 35 hours, 1S min
utes, 80 seconds. The official time of
departure yeste4 day was set down in
the Rockwell field record as $3.50 a.
m. in stead of 5:56 a. M, as unoffi-
cially given out, and the time of the
landing today was given officially as
81 | 80 p. m.
The aviators were begrimed with
oil and grease when they stepped
from the big machine in which they
had remained aloft, circling over the
city for virtually two days and q
night. That did not stop Mrs. Ben
jamin MacReady, mother of the
aviator, from rushing to greet her
son. She kissed him full on his
grimy cheek and when she turned
around, smiling gladly, her lips were
black with grease and oil.
Lieuts. MacReady and Killy joined
in making the following statement:
"It was the wonderful Liberty mo-
to which kept us up. There is no
question that this fight proved the
motor;to be the best and most efficient
in the world. It is due to the develop
ment of army aviation. The primary
purpose Of the test, it should be said
was to test the motor in the United
States army transport T-2, and the
result was all that could be expect
ed. ~
eve are going to make the fight
from San Diego to- NeH York b. No
vember and we are confident that we
shall be successful"

NOTHING DEFINITE
FROM MUDANIA

Constantinople, Oct. 6 (By the As
ISOLATED ss).-Although no definite
news has yet been received from Mu-
dania, where the allied representa-
tives have gone again to renew their
conference with the ENJOYS Of the
Turkish Nationalist government, at
midnight tonight there was distinct
current Of optimism among the allico
diplomats here regarding a possible
successful outcome Of the negotia
tons.
This feeling prevailed, notwith-
standing that the Kemalists today is
sued an ultimatum to the allies, de-
manding their consent to Turkish or-
cupation Of Thrace and the previous
rejection by the Kemalists of the pro-
posals for the sending of allied
troops and the establishment of an
allied control commission in the prov
ince. The ultimatum regarding the
evacuation of Thrace at first demanu-
ed reply by 2:30 o'clock in the nf-
ternoon. Later the time was extended
to 6:30 o'clock this evening, and still
later to 8 o'clock. Meantime the 81
lied generals had sailed f6- Mu-
dania.
Dispatches received during the day
from London and Paris seemed to in
dicate that the French and British
governments still were seeking
ground for an agreement upon which
they could again face the Turkish del.
egates with a united front. The feel
ing among the British here was sum
married. by staff officer this evening
as follows:
eve showed willingness to go Ia
any honorable length to avoid rup-
ture. If our pacific advances are not
acceptable or are not reciprocated,
we are ready for eventualities."
French opinion here was inclined
to criticise NJ. Franklin-Bouillon for
injecting himself into the conference
at Mudania, on the ground that the
conference was no place for civilian
and politician.
military men can get along to-
gether," said French colonel, "but
one politician makes a muddle Of
whole roomful of mere soldiers"
Most of the Italians here expressed
regret over orders received from
Rome directing General Mombelli, the
Italian representative at Mudania, to
support the Turkish claims. General
Mombellis sturdy attitude at Thur
-day,s- Iaeeting at Mudania won for
him admiration in many quarters and
was the basis for sudden springing
up of friendship between the Ital-
ians and English in Constantinople.
An announcement received from
London that former Premier Veni-
zeyos is willing to have the Greek
troops evacuate eastern Thrace, thus
permitting the early establishment Of
a Turkish civil administration there,
was considered as Offering way out
Of the present crisis, but the belief
prevailed that the Kemalists would
adhere to their expressed intention
not to permit the presence in Thrare
of allied control commissions.

GUN BATTLE IN
MOONSHINE1 RAID

State, federal and Lexington coun
ty officers were fired upon by moon.
sinners in Lexington county early
this week as they were approaching
q still and in returning the fire ne
gro il thought to have been seriously
shot, according to reports brought
to Columbia yesterday by the officers,
The officers were nearing q still
and those in charge evidently knew
the booze sleuths were in the vicin-
lity as they had removed the still from
the furnace and assumed a belliger.
.ent attitude. One negro opened fire
with shotgun, but one shot went
astray. The negro's fire was re-
turned, buckshot being used. The
negroes FIRE was returned, buckshot
being used. The negro made his es.
cape and was never found, but the
officers were advised yesterday that
he was in a critical condition. One
other negro was seen and others may
have been at the still, but If they
were, they escaped. The officers did
not know the name of the wounded
negro
AS the officers were approaching
the still they ran across a rattle
snake that objected to their progress
and guns were necessary to quell it.
1t is probable, the officers say, that
the men operating the still heard the
gun shots as the rattler was being
killed and were therefore prepared
for the visit of the raiders.
In addition to the still captured at
the scene of the shooting three other
outfits were taken by the officers. All
the raids were in the Pelion section.
Three of the stills were large ones,
while the other was not SO big.
In Aiken county Thursday, federal,
state and Aiken county officers locat-
ed big outfit about 20 miles from

awaited developments. About II
o'clock in the morning Henry Boyd,

peared upon the scene. They were

DOUBLE MURDER
REMAINS MYSTERY

New Brunswick, ". j., Oct. 6.-Bs
an intensive investigation of several
Of the earliest clues discovered in the
double shooting Of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. James Mills
wife of the church sexton, state and
county authorities announced tonight
they had constructed frame wors
on which they expected the entire
case to hinge.
This frame work, the authorities
said, consists of four cardinal ques-
tions to be put to Mrs. Hall and James
Mills when they are summoned for
requestioning, which probably will be
tomorrow.
The first of the questions which,
the authorities say they wish to clear
up Is the exact number of times
which Mills met Mrs. Hall on the day
before the discovery of the bodies of
the rector and Mrs. Mills in the Sorn-
erset county orchard. Mills had said
that he met Mrs. Hall four times on
this day, first early in the morning
at the church, twice at his own home
and once at her home. Mrs. Hall,
detectives said, has told them that she
saw Mills but once-and this was at
the church.
The second question concerns the
statement of William Phillips, night
watchman Of the New Jersey State
College for Women, that the woman
in the polo coat, who entered the
Hall home early on the morning after.
the double shooting, was unaccom-
panied. Mrs. Hall, who has admitted
she is the woman to whom Phillips
refers, has declared that, she was ac-
companied by her brother, William
Stevens.
The third question is why Mrs.
Hall failed to make any declaration
of the large sum Of money found in
Halls home, and the fourth is why
neither she nor Mills in their ques-
tioning by Somerset county authori-
ties made any statement Of the close
friendship and interest which the
rector and Mrs. Mills had shown in
each other.
The most important new discovery,
which was made in the systematic
question Of members Of the. church,
choir and persons living near the
church today, was the finding of what
detectives called the "love-fence."
This was special chicken and
aeasesil svi4s -sshiaA .Ha1l sArdAned
Mills to build about shed in The
rear of the church. Detectives said
they were informed by persons living
near the church that on occasions they
had seen Hall and Mrs. Mills leave
the church separately by rear door
and go to this shed. The ba46ed wire
barrier, the detectives said, prevent
ed any one from approaching the shed
from the rear.
Col. N. A. Swartzcops, commander
of the New Jersey state police, for
the first time today participated in
the Investigation. Besides Phillips,
the authorities requestioned Mrs. Ben
iamin Vogt, one of the women who
has reported hearing two automobiles
racing along Eastern avenue after the
shooting is believed to have occurred.

GIVES DECISION
REGARDING BOOZE

Washington, Oct. 6 (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-All vessels, American
and foreign owned, are prohibited
from having liquor on board in Am.
erican territorial waters under an in
depreciation of the prohibition amend.
ment and the enforcement act hand
ed down today by the department of
jusice. Moreover, the transportation
or sale Of intoxicants on American
craft, wherever operated, was held to
be inhibited.
American territorial waters were
construed to include those not only
within the three mile limit of conti-
mental United tSates, but also those
within the same limit of the Philip
pines, the Hawaiian Islands, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands and Alaska.
The law would not apply in the Pan
anna Canal Zone as that zone is spe-
cifically exempted by the statute it
self.
So far as American ships are con-
cerned, the sale or transportation Of
liquor will cease at once, or as soon
as those vessels reach their home
ports. In the case of foreign ships,
the decision will become operative as
soon as the necessary regulations
can be prepared and promulgated by
the treasury department.
Court action looking to a final de-
termination of the application ST
American dry laws to foreign ships
entering American ports was forseen
by both Attorney General Daugherty
and Chairman Lasker of the shipping
board. Mr.. Daugherty said he had
already been advised that q case was
about to be filed which would bring
the issue to the supreme court.
Chairman Lasker was of the opin-
ion that the first move of foreign
lines would be to seek an injunction
restraining the government from en-
forcing the law. He said it was ,rea-
sonable to suppose that the courts
would grant such an injunction with
a result that foreign ships would con-
tinue to arrive with liquor on board
until there was final decision by the
highest court. The attorney general
said his department would cooperate
in every effort expedite . ruling
by the supreme court.
Publication Of the opinion sof ths
department Of Justice followed ~
sHs!ss PEss|ss5s Aaa1s Sssf fsssaSs s,ssss al9e
Daugherty, Secretary Hughes and
Secretary Mellon and Chairman Las
ker. Various phases of the situation
were discussed, including the possible
results Of enforcement upon the in
ternational relations of the United
States.
High administration officials ex-
planned there was no course for the
executive branch of the government
except to enforce the law as inter
preted by the legal department. The
Interpretation was based upon recent
decisions of the supreme court in a
case involving the authority of the
United States to interfere with the
transfer of a liquor cargo from one
foreign ship to another in an Ameri-
can port.
