 He was told, he said, that he would first have to get permission from George M. Levy. counsel for Mrs. Hirsh, who is charged with having shot her husband.
 The doctor was sent to the Hirsh home when 1t was reported that Hirsh was in serious condition. MT. Edwards said he contemplated no further steps to learn how Hirsh is getting along.
 The assistant district attorney made 1t clear, However, that he intended 10 prose- cute Mrs. Hirsh for the alleged shooting

Bar Fled From
 Train Crew
Eight Gunrnen Were Trying to Raid a $25.ooo L;nuor Shipment.

Hohokus N. J., June 27.-At the cost of one wounded, the crew of an Erie freight train today defended their cars rom dramatic. attack ibyeight armed bandits, apparently seeking to raid q S25,0o0 liquor shipment The freight was suddenly stopped mead Waldwick, on a grade through a cut, spanned by a bridge.
 Almost thrown from his seat in the cab by the sudden stop, George Hamil- ton. a railroad detective assigned toi the train. seized his shot gun. climbed to the top of the train to- investigate
 Two of the bandits, who are believed to have ridden the bumpers from Jer- sey City, had slashed- the air hose be- tween the; cars in the center of the train and automatically thrown on the brakes. ..s.
 As Hamilton approached, the pair opened fire with revolvers. The detec- tive dropped fiat on his stomach, wrig- gled to the edge of the car top, and saw five more bandits dash down the side of the gulley and, with crowbars, attack the side door of one of the cars.
 The eighth bandit was crouehed on the bridge over the tracks and from his position commanded the car top. He, too cpend fire on the detective.
 Hamilton by this time. was crawling toward one end of the car hoping te drop down out of sight. He had pro gressed only few feet when he was hii in the leg.
 Attracted by the shooting, the crew came running from both ends of the train and the bandits fled.
 Investigations showed that the bandits had picked the wrong car. The one at tackled was filled with tobacco instead oi |

FORTY AMERICANS, SEIZED
 BY MEXICAN BANDITS

Washington, June 27-seizure of forty American employees of the Cortez Oil company at Tampico, Mexico, reported to the state department as security for a ransom of 15,00o pesos created a stir in official circles in Washington Laeing further information as to what has hap. pened behind what is apparently a rigid censorship at Tampico, however, there was little to indicate tonight whether the incident would lead to any change of ,st- titude here toward the Obregon govern, ment in Mexico
 In fact at the White House. it was said that relations between the United States and Mexico were not likely to be affected I In any way by the bandits outbreak and the recent kidnapping for ransom near CueFnavaca; some sixty miles from Mex- leo City of A. Bruce Bielaski, formerly chief of the bureau of investigation Of the department of justice and more re- gently identified with American oil ifl- terests who, have property in Mexico
 Until it is known that the incidents are not matter of domestic politics in Mex leo, conceived by enemies of the Obregon government to sembarass it's relations with the United States, or until that gov ernment had been proved unequal to according such protection to Americans and their property as the occasion de nands there appears to be no disposition here to move in any other than dip lonatic way
 Beyond a, brief report stating that in addition to the score American ernpioyes | quarter of a million of dollars worth of ,destructible property of. the Cortez Oil company was being held as security for the payment demanded, no other word had reached the state department tonight concerning the bandit action in TanIpico Both the embassy in Mexico Coty and the consul at Tampico were promptly ir.- | structed to press for immediate :oclion by the Mexican federal authorities, ..deauate protection for American lives and proper ty and punishment of the perpetrators ! of the outrage.
 General Corozave, whose men seized the American oil men, is a new figure II, the Mexican situation. Whether he ia a new bandit starting out on a career of outlawry, or one of the group in the Tam | pico region formerly headed by General Paleas, who controlled the oil territory for years, levying heavy tribute on oil !. operators, was not known at the state department
 There were indications that state de. partment officials were not exactly sure 1 just what sort of a situation they haG l to met. Some elements in the ineagrG | official account, inclined them to move cautiously beyond prompt insistance that that the Mexican federal authorities pro tect all American interests adequately.
 The new situation in the oil region ov. ershadowed for the moment the seizure | of Bruce Bielaski. No word had com, fro mthe embassy today, to show pregres:
 of the efforts of the Mexican federal au- thorities to obtain the release Of the cap tive. The delay caused little surpris,
 here, however, as the region is mountain
 ous and it was recognized that the Mexi
 can government must move -a.utiousl, if dealing with reckless outlaws in ordt,
 that the life of the prisoner may not b. jeodardized

BRITISH APPRECIATE THE
 THE WITTICIsNIs OF TAFT

London, June 27.-(By The A. P)- William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States supreme court, told a British audience today that America was not likely to pay much attention to European politics unless the price of wheat was affected. The former president was addressing the English speaking union, which gave a luncheon in his honor. Captain Frederick E. Guest, secretary of state for air, presid- ed
 'To the man in Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, or in the west, 'Nsaid Mir. Taft, Europe seems very far away What is happening on this side of the ocean does not interest ham very much unless the price of wheat or other commodities is affected"
 Captain Guest, in his introductory speech. predicted that the United States would soon enter the League of Nations. He said the only cure for the worlds disease of materialism was spiritualism. He asked why the law, as exebplifed by Mir. Taft and other prominent men, could not play the part of physician in eradi- eating the neurasthenia and other disa- bilities from which the world was suf- fering.
 Chief Justice Taft delighted the Brit ishers. who had not heard him before, with frequent chuckles over his own jokes and sallies.
 T cannot discuss political subjects 7 he explained, with the same delicacy with which my feet touch the floor Mir. Taft discussed the benefits and evils of self-government, which he said was the highest aspirations a lleople could have. but a too liveral applica- ton of 1t might lead to anarchy. Some republics on our side of the water have constitutions repIete with idealistie and" eloquent declarations in favor of liberty, yet they make fail i ure in government" he said.
 1 The former president then discussed arbitration as a means of settling dis putes and justihiable issues, ana explain ed why the proposed treaties of arbitra ! tion between the United States, France and England had failed to pass the ! American senate We all felt he add
 ed. humorously. that these treaties wet ! going down the corridors of time a!
 a great human achievement. But tn,
 senate thought otherwise. By the tint
 our law makers got through with then
 I, as father of the tres ties, did not rec
 ognize them. But you must not misin
 terprete our governments action. The!
 did not dissent from arbitration; the!
 simply did not want to bind ourselve
 to some ething which they were not will ing to carry out in letter and spirit
 Immediately after the luncheon Nil
 Taft motored to Oxford, where with Lor' Chancellor Birkenhead and Cardina | Bourne, he will receive the Degree o Doctor of Laws tomorrow. He returns t London tomorrow night to attend Prin cess Marys charity ball with Mrs. Taf
 and Ambassador and Mrs. Harvey.

Seizure of Liquors
 OnB0ardSteansElips
Customs Inspectors Claim That the Liquor Had Been Struggled Aboard.

New York, June 27.-Customs inspec- tors late today raided three vessels in port, two flying the American flag and the other Norwegian freighter, and confis- cated 2,400 bottles of alleged liquor, all of which was declared to have been smuggled aboard. The ships searched were the United States shipping board steamship President Arthur, operated by the United States lines; the Ward liner Sibonney and the Barfond, Norwegian cargo ship.
 Reports that the raid aboard the Presi- dent Arthur in Hoboken, N. J., was con ducted as a test case. as a result of the recent rcling of Chairman Lasker of the shipping board that ships carrying the American flag may carry and sell liquor outside the three-mile zone were later denied by members of the searching squad.
 Despite the statement of customs in spectors. some mystery is attached to the seizure. Port Surveyor Thomas w. Whit tie and the chief of the customs -inspec- tion- professed ignorance of the raids, bui indicated that the searching squad had authority to act on his own discretion. The Ward liner Sibonney and the Bar fond were visited at their docks in Brook l lyn. A search for drugs aboard the for 1 mer vessel failed of result, but the ill spectors located about 300 bottles of al | legged liquor. This was confiscated wher 1 no owner for it could be founu A si1nilal l quantity of contraband was seized aboard the Norwegian ship. No arrests wert i made during the course of any of tn raids.

OFFERS TO MEDIATE TO
 SETTLE SOFT COAL STRIKE

Pittsburgh, Pa., June 27.-(By the A.
 P.) Dr. Clifford B. Connolly, commission
 CT of labor and industry, today sent
 letter to leaders of district NumbeFs 2
 and 5, United Mine Workers of America,
 and to heads of all bituninous coal opp orators associations, offering the services
 of the division of mediation to settle the
 bituminous coal strike. and calling a
 meeting of union leaders and operators
 for Pittsburgh, July 6.
 The operators addressed represent all al the miners east of the Susquehanna
 river in Pennsylvania and the union of ficers receiving the community preside over approximately 100, 900 union miners.
 "I am sending this appeal to you, be- lieving that you are deeply interested in it's contents and that you will be able to attend the meeting as suggested wrote Dr. Connelley.
 "In view of the fact that the depart ment of labor and industry of Pennsyl- vania has under its jurisdiction division of mediation am taking this method of
 getting together the operators and min CTS of Pennsylvania for a conference leading to an adjustment of the coal sit uation.' the letter .contirfued.
 l ; The motive for the invitation to. meet was due ''to the fact that the suspension of operations in the bituminous coal in dustry in this state has now entered upon it's thirteenth week and in view oi the enormous and inconceivable losses in working days, wages and tonnage, past present and future, in order to limit the increasing industrial and social nervous ness and to prevent possible economic
 disorder the communication set forth.
