[ENAPE IS STILL
STUCK IN SANDS,
MAY LEAVE TODAY
No Effort Made to Get
Off on Yesterdays
High Tide

Jacksonville, Oct. 2l.-The day for
the freeing of the Lenape, South At
lantic coastwise mistress of the Clyde
Line, from its uncharted boring
across the sands off Nassau sound,
has been postponed again-this time
until high tide tomorrow. Five
tugs, including the Relief, out of
Norfolk; specialist for such emergen-
cies, are standing by to take pull.
The attempt to float the vessel on
the creates thigh tide of the year
this morning did not materialize for
two reasons. A thirty-mile wind
kept four willing tugs away, while
the Relief did not reach the scene
from Key West in time.
During the gale throughout the
night, the Lenape's engines were op-
Grated at full force and as result
she came nearer to deep water. The
vessel remains undamaged even
against the heavy weather of the
past three days.

Three Touchdowns in

Great a Lead
SCORE IS MISLEADING.
Colonels Outplayed the
Crimson in the Final
Periods
thy Associated Pressl

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21.-Over.
whelmed by a first period collection
Of q points Center college was de.
feated by Harvard in the stadium
here this afternoon by a final score
of "a to 10, but the cold figures dc
not tell the courageous battle staged
| by the southerners in the latter pc
riods of playa battle which lifted
the game from a drab defeat into a
thrilling struggle, that clamped So
900 spectators to their seats until
the closing seconds of the contest.
For more than two hours, lapsed
time considered, the two elevens bat
tied in a furious mixture Of bad and
brilliant football and it was in part
careless handling of the ball in cru
cial situations that brought about the
downfall of the Kentucky combina-
tion.
Three times in the first period of
fifteen minutes actual play Harvard
crossed Center's goal line, due in
part to the CoIonels' inability to hold
the ball and to the Crimson's almost
uncanny sense of sphere following,
plus super-judgment as to when and
where to strike for scores.
The team which a year ago defeat
ed Harvard, to 0, saw the Crimson
score within two minutes after the
opening kick off almost a gift touch
down at the very beginning of play
when Center fumbled on its twenty
yard line.
Yet in the face of this gridiron dis
aster Center came back and not only
outplayed the Cambridge machine in
the final periods, but scored a touch
down in addition to an earlier field
goal. Had the fates which guard foot
ball been a little more geronous it
might have been that victory would
have winged its way southwark to-
night instead of camping in the Cam
bridge quarters of the Crimson elev-

Center was a better football team
today than Harvardfi but that here
was not the difference of playing

to indicate if the occasional but cost

Harding Refuses Fur
ther Extension Time to
Ships !
HOPE FOR A DECISION
Federal Court Now Has
Protest Under Advise
ment

Washington, Oct. 21.-Provisions
of tn eliquor statutes held by Attor-
ney General Daugherty to prohibit (
transportation and sale of alcoholic
beverages on American vessels any
where, and on foreign vessels within
three miles of the United States
coast, became effective tonight at
midnight.
The extension of time ordered by
President Harding to permit ship
lines to arrange their affairs to-, con-
form to the ruling expired then, and
enforcement officials declared sug-
gestions for a further extension had
not been approved.
1t was considered probable that
several days would elapse before GUS
toms and prohibition forces would
have at hand specific instructions as
to the scope of their authority under
the Daugherty opinion, but this, it
was declared, would have, no effect
on the operation of the law. A for
eign vessel sailing with inhibited
cargo after today, it was said, would
be liable to the penalties fixed by
the Volstead act, if any, when she
entered American coastal waters
bearing that cargo.
American ships under the ruling of
the Attorney General, which received
the formal approval of President
Harding, are prohibited from "pos-
sessing" liquor regardless of where
they are in operation.
Enforcement officials now are
hopeful of a decision coming from
the federal district court in New
York-where the new interpretations
of the law is under fire by both for
eign and American lines-before the
arrival of vessel in violation of the
ban necessities punitive action
against the ship, the agents and her
master, as required by law.
1t is pointed out that only vessels
which clear from foreign ports aft
er midnight tonight come within the
restrictions.

DAUGHERTY TELLS

OF HIS TROUBLES
Defends All of Actions
for Which He Has
Been Roasted
(By Associated Pressl

Canton, Ohio, Oct. 21.-Making his
only campaign speech to the voters
of his home state Attorney General
Daugherty tonight rendered an ac-
counting of his stewardship at
Washington, defended his course in
the Chicago injunction proceedings
and in the prosecution of war frauds
and declared that despite "accusa-
tions and calumny" the department
of justice would proceed to perform
its duties as it sees them under the
constitution.
In the strike emergency, the at
torney general said, the federal gov
ernment used the injunction as the
least drastic means at hand for res
cuing the country from the grip of
civil war" He ascribed some of the
blame to the "radicalism and char
acter" of prominent labor leaders
and some of it to "hard- -boiled' rail
way executives, and asserted that
any attorney general who would not
have acted under the circumstances
SHOULD be impeached."
Declaring the real purpose of at
tacks on the departments record in
war fraud Investigations was to
force the hand of the government.

Blames Those Who Have
Smashed Britain's
Combination
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
Says First Time That
Can Look Dollar in
Face as Equals
(By Associated Press }

| LEEDS, England, Oct. 21.-In a
characteristic speech before a SYM
pathetic audience today David Lloyd
George defended his administration,
but refrained from revealing his
program. He spoke strongly of the
past, but little of the future. Ap-
iparently his plans are not yet form
ed or he feels that the time is not
ripe for disclosing them.
!, He promised the people that what
ever the ufture might bring he would
do nothing mean or paltry, declaring
Il will play no part that is un-
worthy Of confidence placed in me by
the people of this country at the
greatest moment in the empires his
tory"
Mr. Lloyd-George did not say spe-
officially that it was his purpose to
head the liberal body; he did not re-
frain, as at Manchester, from en-
dorsing Austin Chamberlain's pro-
nouncement that the labor party
was a menace to the country. Aft
er reviewing the achievements of his
government in war and in peace and
particularly holding up its success in
restoring Great Gritain's commercial
prestige, he exclaimed, "And they
have smashed the combination that
has pulled through our trade, our
commerce and our credit throughout
the world; it is crime against the
nation"
One of his keenest phrases was:
"De are just beginning to look the
dollar in the face on equal terms"
after claiming the approached ster-
ling exchange toward normal as one
of the most important works of the
government.
Enthusiasts frequently accused the
retiring premier of coldness toward
the League of Nations, but he eulo-
gized that as another of the govern
ment's great works. He had good
words for the Washington govern
ment and for the unionists who CO.
operated in the Irish settlement.

TWO SAW THE MURDER
These, 1t Is Said, to Go
Before Grand Jury and
Testify
(Br Associatea Pressl

New brunswick, N. j., oct. 2l.-
Developments in the investigation of
the murder of Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills tonight
centered about the sitting of the
Somerset grand jury at Somerville
Monday, when, it is learned, indict-
ments against at least two persons,
probably man and a woman, will be
asked by County Prosecutor Beck
man.
Confident that he has built up a
stronger case than is generally be-
lieved, Prosecutor Beekman today
questioned several of the newer fig
ures in the mystery. He disclosed
nothing of the results nor the iden-
tity of the two persons said to be
eye-witnesses of the double Staying,
upon whose testimony he is believ-
ed to rely greatly in obtaining the
indictments.
Two persons were questioned to-
day, one a maid in the Hall home
and the other a vestryman in the
rector's church. The latter, Ralph
V. M. Corsline, who was examined
in his home by Prosecutor. Beekman,
was reported to have accompanied
young woman home from the Y. M.
C. A. on the night of the murder.
Whether in so doing he chanced upon
knowledge of the crime, either in
passing the scene of the murder or
elsewhere was not learned.
Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for
Mrs. Hall, made known the nature Of
the examination of Barbara Tough,
maid in the Hall home, who was grill
ed for two hours today. The maid
denied, he said, that Mrs. Hall had
told her of the minister's death be-
fore the finding of the bodies was
announced. 1t had been reported that
Mrs. Hall asked her maid to wash
some white sox an hour after the
murders became known, saying "Mr
Hall is dead and he will need them"
