PERMISSION GIVEN
TO SELL LIQUOR

Washington, June 16.-Sa,e of
liquor on shipping board vessels ont
side the three mile limit is permis
sible under new treasury regulations
issued today, according OF P. A.
Wise, general counsel for the prohi-
bition unit.
This Interpretation was taken as
settling for the time being the con-
troversy over liquor on government
ships precipitated by Adolphus Busch
3rd, the st. Louis brewer, when he
wiote President Harding that the
government was engaging in the
bootlegging business by permitting
sale of alcoholic beverages on ship
ping board vessels.
Solution of the problem, Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon league, declared tonight, lies
in Excluding all ships that sell liquor
from American ports"
Legislation to this end is being con-
sidered, he said, asserting that by
putting both American and foreign
vessels on an equal footing with re-
spect to liquor the competitive fea-
ture of the question being removed.
The new regulations were not
drafted with the intention of settling
the question of liquor on shipping
board vessels, Mr.. Wise said, and in
fact were written before that ques
tion arose. AS drawn, however, he
said, they would apply equally to
American and foreign ships in per-
mitting intoxicating sea stores with
in the three mile limit under Gus
toms regulations which provide that,
while in American ports, all liquors
on board ship must be sealed up.
1t was freely predicted tonight at
prohibition headquarters, however,
that an early opinion would be forth
coming from Attorney General
Daugherty definitely ruling on the
question of liquor on American
ships.
Chicago, June 16.-Adolphus Busch
has "put one over" and his present
position in reference to enforcing the
prohibition, laws on American ships
is "above reproach and deserving of
the highest ,commendation," Virgil
Hinshaw, chairman of the prohibition
national committee, said today in a
statement. : 81
"Iefs sSas documentary upon -our
government that it has remained for
Americas foremost former brewer to
reveal the big leak in the national ad-
ministration of the prohibition
amendment" continued the state

FLORIDA JUDGE
RAPS ON K. K. K.

Orlando, Fla, June 16.-Declaring
that there is no place for "an invisible
empire" within the United States and
characterizing the ursurpation of
governmental functions by the Ku
klux Klan or any other organization
as destined to do an estimable wrong
to society, United States Judge Hen
ry d. Clayton assailed the policies
and principles of such societies in
fiery phraseology today in an address
before the Florida State Bar asso-
citation.
1T is true" Judge Clayton said,
chat the people have the right to
revolutionize or change their govern
ment whenever they see fit to do so,
but it is quite different thing for
this set of pen or that set of men to
undertake outside of the law to de-
clare hat the government is ineffi-
cient and to arrogate to themselves
the power to furnish supplemental re
6les."
There is no place." the speaker
continued, "for an invisible empire
within the United States, nor any
reason for clan or gang to do any
part of the business of governing or
correcting or Furnishing citizens. A
secret organization for such purposes
is reprehensible Notwithstanding
avowals of its members that they
aA1-,sworn to uphold the constitu-
ton of the United States. Such avow-
ais and such oaths can not defeat
the just charge that these organiza-
-tions are conspiracies against law and
government"
Judge Clayton said he would cite
the case Of. "an eminent citizen of
Alabama" who, he said, Joined the
klan and later discovered that q Greg
nlar docket" was maintained contain
ing cases against citizens of the
state.
After he had succeeded in clear
ing this docket many of whose cases
involved mere personal grievance or
spite, this good man abandoned his
Fellowship" the speaker said, adding
that organizations such as this have
no place in our land, they are not
useful in the governing business and
can not fail to be productive of
crime"
Discussing what he~> termed the
fiethods Of the k1an, Judge Clayton
declared they are practiced under
shrouds and behind masks and in
darkness, inherent evidences of cow.

No Recommendation
On Dial Amendment

Washington, June 16.-The subcom-
mittee Of the. senate agricultural COM
mittee will report the cotton futures
amendment Of Senator Dial without
recommendation and it would cause no
surprise were the committee likewise
to report it to the senate.
The members Of the committee, in
ether words, are apparently afraid
either to approve an amendment
which the farmers approve or to turn
down an amendment which the cottoE
exchanges insist must be turned
down.
Senator Dial said this afternoon
that he has asked the committee. to
send his amendment to the senate im-
mediately. He feels. confident that
whsh action regarding it must be
taken in the light, it's opponents will
be exceptionally few. Senator'S from
cotton producing states who are mem :
bers Of the committee are Smith of
South Carolina, Harrison of Missis-
sippi, Hefin Of Alabama, Ransdell of
Louisiana and Caraway of Arkan
sas.
Ransdell, who openly defends the
exchanges of New Orleans, is the only
member who has admitted his opposi-
ton.
The amendment would further re-
strict cotton exchanges in delivering
any one Of ten grades of deliverable
cotton to purchasers.
Its author has accepted invitations
from various cities of the South, es-
pecially in Texas and Alabama, to ad :
dress business men and farmers on
his amendment. He will make tour,
it is Indicated, as soon as congress
adjourns. H. w. r.

RHINE TROOPS
TO DEPART SOON

Berlin, June 16 (By the Associated
ircss) ).-The presence of troops of
lower utilization" under the condi
tions of military occupation is unde-
sirablc not only in the Rhineland but
anywhere, in the opinion of Ma. Gen.
Henry I. Allen, commander in chief
Of the American army of occupation,
rs expressed by him in conference
with the American representatives at
the embassy. He was being inter
viewed regarding negro troop units
on the Rhine. General Allen will re
turn to COblenz tonight after a tw,
days social visit to Berlin.
General Allen said that in his con
nection with the Rhineland high com
mission he had been present at a
number of conferences with Ger
mans with regard to the presence O."
colorcd troops in Germany-frst with
the clergy then with university pro-
fessors and later with the newspaper
men-in all of which it was empha
sized that it would be better if these
units were replaced. General Allen
said most of the actually black units
already had been deportcd. All the
Singalese had gone and only a part
OF the Madagascar troops remained.
However, there were about $4,000
colored troops still on the Rhine, COM
posed Of north African units. among
whom a number of what are known
as black soldiers" are enrolled. None
of these were under his command. h r.
added and there was no prospect tha
NY would be.
General Allen expressed the hope
that shortly no troops at all would
be required on the Rhine. He de-
clared the occupation of Rhur was
too terrible to think of" and a move
that nobody wants. Gwen the French
do not want to occupy the Ruhr, ex
cept in case Of direct necessity" Gen
cral Allen asserted. He intimated
that the danger of disorder in case of
such occupation was too great for l.
to be lightly contemplated.
AS regards the withdrawal of Am
erican troops from the Rhine, Gen
eral Allen said he had no idea how
long the remaining contingent would
stay. For the present the American
soldier was satisfied and it had be
come standing byword in connection
with penalties to say; "You go homo
on the next boatr'
General Allen made it clear that
though French troops were beng
brought in his sector would continue
to be distinctly American.

TROUBLE OVER
BONUS ISSUE
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, June 16.-If the tariff
bill is sidetracked in favor of the
bonus bill Tuesday, according to the
plans of Senator Porter j. McCumber,
the president will suffer the embar-
rassment of his executive existence.
The passage of the bonus bill, it's re-
lection by the president and it's pas
sage despite the veto of the prssi-
dent will make public split be-
tween congress and the executive
which, the president knows, will give
reason for additional disgust to the
people and provide the Desmocrats
with another excellent campaign is
sue.
There is no necessity for immediate
action on the bonus bill which can
not be effective before January 1,
1923. But McCumber is apparently
anxious that action be taken at his
instance prior to June %, the date
of primary in which his constituents
will pass on his record. The bulk of
the Republican membership would
prefer to follow the president; but if
McCumber requires them to vote, it
is believed that they will follow Nc
Cumber, for many of them, like Nc
Cumber, have elections in their dis
tricts. The wrestle of McCumber and
the president is no less strenuous
than that of Jacob and the angel.
Acting on instructions from Hard
ing, Senator Lodge, Republican lead
er, has called caucus for Monday.
In the caucus Lodge will lendeavor to
dissuade McCumber on the plea that
party solidarity will be jeopardized.
He will promise, it is understood, to
put the bonus over after the cleo
tions and in plenty of time for it to
be operatice the first of the year.
But after the elections McCumber
will probably be dead cock in the
pit. 1t is known that he will argue
that the party will be more criticized
for wiggling and wobbling respecting
the bonus than for any action which
might result in an open rupture be :,
tween the legislative and admins
trative branches. The indications are
that the caucus will stand against
calling up the bonus and that Nc
Cumber will decline to be bound by
that action.
The North Dakota senator is Sc
vereIy criticized by his colleagues on
the ground that he would jeopardize
the whole party in the hope of saving
his own skin and for the same pur-
pose would sidetrack the tariff bill,
the delayed passage of which he has
attributed to filibustering Democrats
rather than his own questionable
leadership. The Democrats expect to
reap political advantage irrespective
of the direction in which "the cat
jumps" q
