Tariff Bill Is
Just Says Kirby
Tells President That Act Will Pro-
mote Thrift Throughout Coun-
try But Admits "lnequalI-
ties and Descrimlna-
tions"
(By United Press.l

Washington. Oct. THE tariff
act # 1929, as a whole, "is just
measure and capable Of promoting
thrift throughout the land" John Fl.
Kirby, Houston, Texas president OF
the Southern Tariff association, told
President Harding yesterday. Mr.
Harding received delegation, headed
by Kirby. from the convention of the
tariff association in session here.
Kirby, who said his organization
represented substantially all produc-
ing industries of the South, and 6,O0O
Southern bankers, declared this was
the first traiff which gave deserved
recognition to the farmers Of Amer
ica."
Though Kirby said the bill doubtless
contained Inequalities and discrimi-
nations" he praised the administra-
ton for enactment of a law which.
he declared, placed farmers on a.
even basis "alongside of manufac-
turers"
Kirby expressed approval Of the
record of those Southern Senators
who, he said, made possible the plac-
ing of such Southern articles as vege-
table oils, cottonseed meats, tobacco,
rice and sugar upon the dutiable list.
Enactment of the law, Kirby further
SAID, has opened "for us the door OF
hope and for his we express our
grateful aclno'; Judgement to You and
TO the Cong ess. We speak with
practically unanimous voice for that
great people into whose hearts You
have instilled the courage to per-
severe in their tasks with a feeling
that their products will have equaI
opportunity in the markets of our
country"

Scott has been with the Giants for
three months. He drew his pay on a
game basis. When he won he got
some money and when he lost he just
wasted an afternoon.
Being the outstanding star OF the
series the pitcher who seems to have
assured the Giants Of another world S
championship he no doubt will see a
better sum on :he new contract than
the S40O he was getting when the Gin
cinnati Reds gave him the air after
an X-ray had been shown to prove
that his arm was just farmers arm
and had no pitching in 1t.
Scott pitched yesterday with con
summate courage and he has lived
year on the same virtue. Since the
close of last season when he was re-
carded as a good pitcher his crops On
his Ridgway farm went bad, his
barn burned down and his arm went
lame He had a wife and little one
and he had to fight for a living. He
was out of job and McGraw stahed
him to $50 when he came to the Giants
, looking for any kind f work around
the Polo Grounds. lie nursed his
arm back and he nursed it so well
that he jumped into stardom.
Bad feeling between the Giants and
the Yanks which did not creep above
the surface in the series last year, be-
came evident in Yesterdays game
when Babe Ruth crashed into Heinie
Groh at third base and knocked the
Giant star head over heels. Babe
later told Groh he was squaring uD
/ for an incident in the first game when
Groh went into Erin" Ward at sec
ond base with his spikes up in the
air.
} The Giant dugout razzed Ruth so
much that he went into the National
! leaguers dressing room after the game
and wanted to clean out the place.
Some Of the Giants kidded the Babe
out of his bad humor and trouble was
averted.

Property Owners
Must Pay Part

Within a comparatively short time
the work of constructing the streets
and sidewalks authorized by the new
city council will begin it is expected.
However, before the work is started
the first thing that will be necessary
will be to obtain the consent Of the
property owners who must agree %
pay their share of the cost Of these
improvements, otherwise the square,
in question will not be improved ana
the money will be spent on other
streets where the property owners
are willing to pay their proportion
of the cost of improved streets. 1t is
generally believed by the members OF
the city council that the majority OF
the property owners on the squares
proposed to b. improved will be only
too glad to sign up for the work.
Only third of the cost against the
property owners will have to be paid
down.

CurzOn and POincare Says
Turks Shall Not En-
ter Thrace
ANSWERS ULTIMATUM
Peace Must be Concluded Before
Kemalists Will be Allowed to Set
up GOvernment-Kemal Expected
to Submit to Latest Proposal.

Constantinople, Oct Appeal to
American public opinion to believe In
Mustapha Kemal, in an hour when
the chances of war or peace arc
fifty-fifty" was made today in an eX-
elusive statement to the United Press
by a French negotiator, who was
hurrying to Mudania for resumption
Of the armistice conference.
The allies went to the meeting place
today to answer Kemal's ultimatum
that he must have Thrace ut once.
They had instructions from their gov
crnments to refuse this demand, but
to avert a clash.
The French delegate, declaring it
was "a toss up whether 1t Is peace
or war" vigorously upheld the Otto
man demand for Thrace, although not
approving immediate occupation.
A million Turks, he said, have need
Of Thrace for homes.
Paris. Oct. France backed Great
Britain against the Turks today. 1t
was officially agreed by Lord Curzon
and Premier Poincare that the Kemal-
lists shall not be permitted TO enter
Thrace until peace is concluded.
The Greeks, it has been decided
here. must start Immediately the
evacuation of Thrace. The allies viii
enter on the heels Of departing
Greeks. One month after the latter
are completely out the Turks may
come and set up a civil adminlstra-
ton.
Their armies may not enter Ihraee
nor cross the straits.
This was the answer to Mustapha
KemarS ultimatum.
The Turks demand Thrace imme-
di&teIy.
Lord Curzon hurried TO Paris.
The French cabinet met Immediate
" after tentative agreement had
been reached by Curzon and Poincare,
and gave its sanction to their plan.
Curzon, who held three of the six
telephone lines between Paris and
London open all night, then got IN
touch with Downing street,
The British cabinet, it was believed,
will be called together Immediately
to discuss the tentative agreement.
The date of the peace conference
will be set in event both the British
and French governments back the
position Of their representatives.
Curzon. it was stated, in the con-
ference with Poincare, won the
French premier over to the stand
that the Turks should not be permit
ted to cross the straits until peace
had been declared.
1t was pointed out by Curzon that
if the Turks got Thrace immediate
, " the allies would be deprived of an2
effective means to bring pressure 20
hear on the Kemalists to make them
accent the conditions regarding Con-
stantinople and the straits as lad
down in the allied note to the Turks
which was dispatched two weeks ago.
1t is anticipated here that Mustaphfa
Kemal will back down and accept the
attest proposal in face Of the soll1
front of the allies.

Little Rain Continues
To Rain in Town

It's raining all over today. therefore
there is no reason TO believe that the
little Washington street rain is not
coming down just the same as it has
been, Independent of the general down
pour.
One week and one dav now has this
rain been falling steadily and the re-
ports that it is only the sap from a
tree have all proven to be false, and
the rain continues to continue.

AMERICAN SHIPS
MUST NOT CARRY
WHISKY ANYWHERE
Attorney General Daugherty's Ruling Says American
Ships Must be Bone Dry" and That Foreign
Ships May Not Carry Liquor Within
Smile Zone

Washington, Oct. 7.-Vessels tiymg
the American flag must not carry
huuor anywhere, and foreign vessels
must not bring it into the three-mile
zone of American territorial waters,
even as ships stores, Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty ruled late yesterday
in an opinion which was approved by
President Harding, Secretary Of
State Hughes and Secretary Of Treas
ury Mellon.
Mr.. Daugherty said the rullns
means that American ships cannot
carry liquor anywhere-inside the
As6nsse<cSsslimit or outside of it. As
ships, the ruling applies
= n the three-mile limit OF
~ ~ 4 srritorial waters.
"The pyession for transportation
of liquor on any vessel flying the
American flag, either shipping board
or private ship is illegal" Daugherty
ruled.
Possession and transportation on
foreign vessels as ships stores or as
cargo within the three-mile limit was
also held illegal in the Daugherty
ruling.
The Attorney General said that ne
had been advised that q suit by for
eign ship owners was ready to be
presented to the supreme court to de-
termine the status of liquor on for
eign ships.
Mr.. Daugherty said that in spite OF
his ruling he was willing 70 cooperate
in taking such case to the supreme
court to test the point.
The prohibition amendment, At
torney General Daugherty held in his
opinion applies to the sea as well as
to the land.
"The terms all territory subject 70
the jurisdiction thereof contained In
the 18th amendment expresses not
limitation lust 10 land, as the word
territory might alone be construed,
but rather an extension wherever the
jurisdiction Of the United States may
reach" Daugherty said.
Certainly Shipping Board vessels
operated and owned by our very gov
ernment itself are subject to the jur-
isdiction thereof. Because of their
ownership by the government, they
would in a double sense, be subject to
the restrictions of the 18th amend
ment."
With reference TO his decision hold
ing the possession of liquor on for
eign ships within the three-mile limit
as illegal, Daugherty Indicated that
ne was heavily influenced by previous
rulings of the United States supreme
court.
al am forced to the opinion, under
the ruling of the Walker and Anchor
line decisions, that foreign ships carry
ing intoxicating beverages and liquor
as shin stores or otherwise within the
three-mile limit of our shores are vio-
lating the provisions of the national
prohibition act, prohibiting possession
or transportation of intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes ne held
in his opinion. =,
"The supreme court therein has held
that il is not material that the llquo~
NAV be intended for beverage use7
within the United States, because the
court emphasized that the 18th amend
ment marks a revolution in our for
mer national policy toward intoXcat-
ing LIQUOR and does not confine its
prohibition in any meticulous way
within the United States, but on the
contrary its intent was as far as pos
sible 10 stop the whole business. ~

River Victim

The Woman Was Resi-
dent of Alexandria

The body of the woman found float
ing at the south end of the Highway
bridge yesterday was identified to-
day as Miss Irene Fewell, about forty
years old, said to be employed IN one
of the government departments, ac,
cording TO word received by Chlet
of Police Goods this morning.
The Washington police from what
they gathered about the woman at
first thought that she was a resident
Of Alexandria and accordingly Chle>
of Police Goods and Policeman Law
renee Padgett set out on search 20
trace the residence Of the drowned
woman. Later, however, it was stat
ed in Washington, that it was bellev-
ed that the woman had been residing

The body of the woman had oeen
weighed down wit humps OF aspnalt

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. T.
Grey clouds loaded with rain, cast
a somber call over the Polo grounds
today as the Yanks and Giants pre-
pared for the fourth game of the
world series.
Mist that had been descending on
the stands occasionally turned into
splitting rain. There were only few
drops flashing down but the half
filled bleachers donned slickers.
The sheltered upper stands were
about One-third filled, whereas they
were jammed to the rim at the same
time for the previous games.
Because of the confusion that would
result from handling of rain checks
Yanks, the home club today, said the
game would be played if at all pos
sible.
The light rain ceased at l2:4O and
a slight fog settled off the Harlem
River. AltrOck and Schacht the
comedy pair pulled the usual stunts
for the entertainment of the early
customers.
Big drops of rain started 10 spill
down again at l2:l5 and the bleach
ers became sea of umbrellas. Mil
Ter Huggins, manager of the 0ankS,
answered questions about the pitch
ing selection with Il Il don't know
now" He might be induced to start
Joe Bush, the bullet ball star of the
1913 series instead of Carl Mays, the
submarine pitcher.
The Yanks were first on the field.
The band played There will be a
not time in the old town tonight" and
then turned into, Look for he silver
lining loud voice from the stand
They need it,
The rain coming down steadily and
the players looked doubtfulIy at the
skies.
Seeming to be fayOrites of the day
the Giants caused big outburst
from the stands when they entered
the field. Big JOcko Scott numbering
along in the rear showed no signs of
knowing that the ovation was for him.
Rain continued to fall, it very light
however. When the Giants went out
for batting practice McQuillan and
Ryan were both taking turn at bat.
The Giants seemed to be in a very
jubilant mood
Higgins said after the Ianks had
finished batting practice that he
might make change in the batting
order in the event TO get the team out
Polo Grounds, n. Y. Oct. IA
light mist was falling here shortly
before noon today.
The skys laden and a fog covered
the vicinity of the Polo Grounds
where the Giants and Yankees are
scheduled to play the fourth game
OF the worlds series this afternoon.

He said he relied on previous de-
cisions of the L. S. Supreme court
in making his ruling. If that court
should maintain its position, Daugh-
ertys ruling would stand at least as
to American ships. The court has
held. in effect. that the constitution
follows the flag, not on land out on
seas. and that the wording OF the
prohibition amendment makes 1t ciear
that wheverer the United States gov
ernment has jurisdiction, there the
prohibitory law applies.
