CAN'T RAID ON HIGH SEAS
Three Mile Limit Policy Turns Dry
Organization "Topsy Turyy''

Washington, Sept. 27.-The federal
prohibition enforcement organization
was turned topsy turvy today in a
rush to revise existing regulations to
make them conform to President
Harding's decision placing curb on
the operation of the prohibition
navy beyond the three-mile limit.
Drastic rules already promulgated for
the maneuvers of the dry naval forces
on the high seas were virtually with
drawn.
Hurry orders went out from Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes office
warning commanders of the dry naval
vessels to stop their promiscuous hold
ing up of foreign ships in search of
liquors. The ships hereafter will con-
fine their cruising largely to waters
within the three-mile zone.
The presidents edict followed a
vigorous protest lodged with the state
department by British Ambassador

- London. Sept. 27.-Secretary of
State Hughes formal assertion of the
American policy toward the Turkish

to preclude comment in this morn

Published BY All Papers.
The Hughes statement itself is pub
lIshed by all the papers, but in many
instances without special prominence.
Pending definite news or the Kemalist
reply to the allied note, many of the
papers view the situation calmly, ex-
pecting Mustapha Kemal to comply
with the representations which both
the British and French commanders
have sent him and recall his troops
from the neutral zone.
The Times however, admits that
the situation is critical enough to
mitigate optimism" IN some quar-
ters here Mustapha Renal is credited
with favoring moderation, and anx-
iety is not expected as to mis- personal
attitude, but as to thar OF the ex-
trerflists in the nationalist cabinet.

WAS ROBBERY THE MOTIVE?
Report the Reverend Hall Was Garry

New Brunswick, n. J., Sept. ~
Authorities investigating the Staying
two weeks ago of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector of the Episcopal
church of st. John the Evangelist, and
his choir leader. Mrs. Eleanor Rein
hardt Mills, sought today to run down
rumors that the rector may have been
carrying securities valued in excess of
$4,000 when he was shot. Until this
report became current investigators
had given little credence to sugges-
tions that the double killing might
have been the work of robbers or
blackmaiI gang.
Search of hotels and apartments in
New York in an effort to locate the
'love nest" which Rev. Hall and Mrs.
Mills are believed to have visited dur
ing frequent piigrimages to the me-
tropolis, was also begun today by
county authorities investigating the
dual Staying of the rector and his
choir singer.
The belief that Doctor Hall main
tained a rendezvous in New York
where he and Mrs Mills spent many
hours on numerous occasions, arises
from the discovery that the couple
made frequent clandestine Journeys to
New York together

Albany, Sept. 27.-Early adoption

Touching on the recent rail and coal
strikes, Mr.. Root said:
I'VE are all employers and laborers

patient about strikes. So long as
strikes were a contest between labor
ers and employers to secure for labor
it's fair share of the new wealth which
has come to mankind thru invention
and discovery and application OF
science, and the art of organization
the sympathies of the American pub
lie were with labor. When strike

where the law of the land will pro-

and at the same time protect the
workman'S liberty to refuse to work
and the workman's liberty to work.
If we cannot come to that point, then
