Lovely Party Given
BY Mrs. Thomas Estes

One Of the lovcliest social affairs
of the early autumn was the bridge
party given Saturday afternoon by
Mrs. Thomas l.. Estes at her home oil
Douglass Heights to large number
of her friends. The color scheme OF
gold and crimson was carried out IN
decorations, score cards and refresh
ments and autumn flowers were used
lavishly; from garden walks crimson
saliva had strayed in sunny clusters
indoors, and from woodland ways
golden rod added it's wealth of golden
blooms to the vista of fair flowers.
Myriads of shaded lights created
setting of beauty over the whole
scene. Eleven tables for bridge were
placed in the spacious parlors and
halls and the score cards were
punches Of golden rod, tied to the
cards with crimson ribbons. The
hostess served an elegant salad course
consisting of chicken salad, tomatoes,
crackers, pickles, hot biscuits, black
coffee and yellow sherbert. Prizes for
top scores and consolation were pre-
sented and Mrs. Estes was a charm
ing and gracious hostess.

LIQUOR BATTLE
BEGINS in COURT

New York, Oct. 16.-The legal bat
tie to determine the right of foreign
owned ships to enter ports in tht
United States with liquor aboard was
opened tonight with the issuing by
United States District Attorney Hay
ward of a reply to the bills in equity
brought by five foreign steamship
companies to restrain enforcement %
the recent ruling preventing the car
rying of liquor on vessels entering
American ports.
The reply make in the main four
contentious that the district court,
before which many cases are to be
heard tomorrow, has no jurisdiction
in the matter, that suits are really
AGAINST the United States govern
ment; that they do not show that the
government has consented to be sued
and that they do not disclose any
basis for an action in equity.
Upon these grounds the defense OF
Secretary Mellon, Henry c. Stuart,
acting collector of the customs for
the port of New York, and Ralph A.
pay, federal prohibition director for
the state &C New York, who are made
defendants in the suits brought by
the companies, will be built in court
tomorrow.
Mr.. Hayward, who is acting for
Secretary Mellon in the reply,
answers specifically the ground upon
which the requests for injunctions are
based.
AS to the difficulty which the for
cign steamship companies state they
would suffer by reason of laws com
Telling them to furnish wines to men,
bcrs of the crew, District Attorney
Hayward says the payment of highsr
ages would recompense crews for

Regarding the loss of the profit
N ade by the foreign ships in the sale
of liquor, Mr.. Hayward claims that
this loss is the only one which the
companies will suffer under a strict
adherence to the new ruling.
10 the charge OF Cne cohiPiaHihS
: eamship companies that the attor-
nay generals ruling is misinterpre'
tation of the Volstead act, the reply
states:
"If the cemplainants are correct in
their construction Of the national pro-
|hihition, act, the implications involved
are exceedingly serious and the claim
Of the complainants, if allowed would
carry with it as necessary corrol-
larry, the right of a"v ship to trans

PILOT FLIES 248
MILES PER HOUR

MT. Clemens, M1chy Oct. 10 Thy the
Associated Press).-Travehng at a
greater speed than any human being
ever before attained, Lieut.. r. L.
Maughan, army pilot, today set q
new worlds airplane speed record by
covering one kiloneter course at
the rate of 248.5 miles an hour.
The record was made during Off
cial government tests Of speed planes
that participated in the national air
races at Selfridge field last week and
was electrically timed by officers from
McCook field. Aeronautical engin-
eers and army and navy officers who
witnessed the flight Were astounded.
The demonstration, they declared,
proved that there was no limit to the
speed that might be STAINED in the
air.
Lieutenant Vaughan made the rec.
ord breaking fight in the same plane
with which he won the Pulitzer tro-
ply race Saturday. The machine is
a Curtiss army biplane, powered with
Curtiss 400 horse power engine.
After setting the new record, Lieu
tenant Maughan continued his flight
to show that the tremendous pace
could be maintained. On four laps
he was timed at the rate of 232.22
miles an hour, and his average for
eight laps was 229 miles an hour.
Examination of the machine after
the fight disclosed that it was in per:
feet condition and that nothing in the
nature of "trick" flight figured in
the performance. ~
Later Lieutenant Maughan added
to the astonishment Of pilots and Of
ficers on the field by flying approx
mately one mile with the machine
on it's side. The feat in reality was
fight without the aid of wings.
In other trials during the day the
speed record for monopianes was
shattered by one navy apd three army
machines. 81

BRITISH TO REJECT
PROPOSED TREATY

lection of the American proposal for
a treaty to extend the right of search
of vessels up to IL miles off shore
was contained in note handed to
Secretary Hughes today by Ambas-
sador Geddes. The communication was
in reply to Mr.. Hughes note of June
26, setting out difficulties encountered
by American prohibition enforcement
officers in checking the Illicit flow of
intoxicants into the United States.
Secretary Hughes made public his
correspondence with the ambassador
without comment. There was nothing
to indicate that any further step to
extend the right Of search for Ameri-
can prohibition officers beyond the
three mile limit was in prospect. Ac-
tion of the cabinet recently in approv-
ing the abandonment of such search
presumably because of possible in
ternational difficulties, coupled with
the British reply of today, appeared
to indicate that operations would con-
tinue to be confined within recognized
territorial waters.
The American note dealt partic-
ularly with smuggling operations
from British possessions in waters ad-
jacent to the American coast and sug-
gested methods by which the exist
ing extremely unfortunate conditions
might be remedied."
Among these was a proposal for
careful supervision of registry and
clearance papers granted to suspected
vessels and can international arrange
ment between the United States and
Great Britain under which the author
tiles of each nation would be author
lied to exercise beyond the three
mile limit of territorial waters a
measure Of control over vessels be-
longing to the other"
There was appended an inquiry as
20 whether the British government
was disposed to agree to the recipro-
cal right of search up to Is miles
from shore which, it was pointed out
would imply no inconvenience to the
legitimate trade between Nassau and
Halifax, passing at no point within
four leagues of American shores.
In reply Ambassador Geddes point
cd out that his government had al
ready taken steps before Mr.. Hughes
note was received te preyent the prac-
fIfees as 70 registry issnS1ce and clears
ance papers to which attention had
been drawn. These stSs,s had been

FRENCH POLICY
PREVENTED WAR

Press).-It was the pacific policy of
France combined with the sincere de-
sire of Mustapha Kemal Pasha to
avoid war, and not the British display
Of force, which prevented war in the
Near East, q war which would have
soon assumed the proportion of the
great world conflict, M. Franklin
Bouillon, the special French envoy at
the recent Mudania conference, told
nearly hundred newspaper men of
Is nations, who gathered at the for
eign Office tonight to hear the French
delegate tell about his mission.
'It has been said in England that
the British feet and British troops
alone halted the victorious Kemal-
ists,'' said M. Franklin-B -Bouillon.
''The truth is that every time force
was used cnd the British troops were
reinforced negotiations with Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha became increasing
more difficult.
"The peaceful efforts of France al

vent open warfare, and had it not been

to pay tribute to the consistent strug-
gle the Turkish commander waged to
maintain peaceful relations with the

M. Franklin Bouillon charged the
British general staff at Constanti-
nople had issued false communique
telling of the breakdown of the Mu-
dania conference because of the Turk
ish demand for immediate occupation
Of Thrace.
"This was all the news that the
world had of the Mudania conference
for 4s hours and essentially, war ex-
listed during that PERIOD" said the
French envoy. "When General Har.
ington heard of this communique he
was astonished and said he had au-
thorized no such communication. 1t

stantinople, while 10000 more,

.cADOO RAPS
ON REPUBLICANS

Denver, Oct. 16.-In an address in
the Denver Municipal auditorium this
afternoon William G. McAdoo, for
mer secretary of the treasury and
war time director of the railroad ad-
ministration, assailed the Harding
policy of deflation and the Republican
tariff bill and concluded with an ap-
peal for the election of Democratic
congress and for the election of the
Democratic tickets in all states.
"The Republicans have passed the
most extortionate and indefensible
tariff bin ever enacted in our his
tory" Mr.. McAdoo said. "The
Payne-Aldrich bill, which destroyed
Mr.. Taft politically and brought the
Republican party to defeat in 1912,
is outclassed by the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber bill.
"It is estimated the cost of living
to the American people will be in
creased by the Fordney Nc Cumber
bill $4,000, 100000 per annum, of
which only s4OO, 100000 will go into
the American treasury. The remain
ing So, ,60O, 600, 900 will be collected by
monopolies, trusts and greedy COM
binations for the special profit of
these favored interests"
Discussing the Harding policy of
deflation, Mr.. McAdoo declared mo
more fatuous policy was ever pur-
sued in American history than this
attack by one great political party
upon prosperity"
'It was treated as though it was q
national evil instead of a national
blessing" he said.
At the same time prosperity was
being destroyed, taxation, which is
bearing down with crushing force
upon the people, has not been reduced
as solemnly promised in the Repub-
lican platform. The new information

SUITE" ~
During his speech Mr.. McAdoo
was asked by some one in the audi
ence about the soldiers bonus.
'4sIGr. McAdooz replied that he swuuld
suggest that the average earnings Of
the favored trusts and monopolies
and corporations under the Fordney-
McCumber tariff bill be ascertained
for three or five year period pre-
ceding the passage of that law, and
that the earnings of these trusts,
monopolies and corporations after the
passage of the Fordney- Nc Cumber
bill be ascertained annually; and that
so per cent of the amounts earned
by them in excess of the average
earnings prior to the passage of the
Fordney-McC Cumber bill be devoted to
the payment of the soldiers bonus "
He declared that half of these earn
ings should be used to pay the just
claims of those who saved liberty for
America and the world and in this
was no additional burdens would be
put on the people"
