TO CLOSE SALOONS

Washington, July 6. - President
Harding and Chairman Lasker of the
shipping board were charged by Sen
ator Caraway (Democrat) Of Arkan-
sas in the senate today, with flagrant
violation of the prohibition laws in
permitting the sale Of liquor on ship
ping board vessels. The senator said
against such sale of liquor.
Elmer Schlesinger, general counsel
of the shipping board, who gave the
opinion that sale of liquor was legal
on American vessels beyond the ter
ritorial limits of the United States,
was described by Senator Caraway as
"wet" and an attorney for interests
which fought the prohibition ct.
"The man responsible for the most
fragrant violation of the 18th amend
ment and the Volstead act is the pres
ident of the United States. The pres
ident could instruct the shipping
board to close the saloons on all ships
operated by the emergency fleet cor
poration," said Senator Caraway
"The president knows, all know, that
were he to give such an order, Mr.
Lasked would obey it."
Senator Caraway referred to Pres
ident Harding's speech July at Mar.
ion, declaring for enforcement Of the
prohibition laws, and also to the re.
cent statement attributed to Secretary
Weeks suggesting beer and wins
modification of the Volstead act.
"Can his apologists deny that he
(the president) connives at the break
ing down of public morale?" asked
Senator Caraway, adding that appar.
emily Secretary Weeks expressed the
personal sentiment of the executive.
Senator Caraway referred to pros
ecutions of a former service man il
Baltimore for possession of liquor anC
to seizure for a local excursion boa
owned by a negro and on which liquor
was found. He added that the Re
publican party posed as solicitious o.
the negro, having recently reportet
out the Dyer anti-lynching bill "sirn
ply to give Senator Yodge the negro
support in his race for reelection.
The Washington negro, Senator Cara
way asserted, "in small way imitat
ed the methods that are pursued b.
American ships" ~

TOM HARRISON
GETS new TRIAL

The supreme court yesterday hand
ed down IL additional opinions, bring
ing the total number filed at this CON
sultation to II, the court having filed
60 Wednesday,
Chief among the opinions yesterday
were the decisions reversing the cir
cult court in the Tom Harrison case
of Greenville and upholding the con-
viction of A. Fred Hemply on charge
of murder in Spartanburg county.
The court orders the Harrison case
back to Greenville county for another
trial
Tom Harrison killed his wife and
was convicvted of manslaughter. He
was sentenced to serve Is years il.
the penitentiary. In his appeal Har-
rison claimed the killing was acci-
dental, that he was shooting at an
other man, supposedly Monk Young.
Justice Fraser, who wrote the opin-
ion, makes the following statement
"The solicitor said to this court dur
ing his argument against the appeal
that the conviction of Harrison was
n triumph for decency for Greenville
county, and the reversal of the convic.
ton would be nothing short of 8
calamity for law enforcement in the
county"
Continuing, Justice Fraser says
"There is a greater calamity, still
that may occur and that is for the
courts to sanction a conviction of the
worst of men by the destruction of tn,
constitutional protection guarantee,
to every citizen in the trial by jury
Justice Fraser recites the follow
ing charge made by Judge Mem
minger to the jury: "Now, if there i:
somebody on that jury that is alb
solutely fixed and made up in hi
mind and determined that he will no
decide this case. then l am going t.
find it out; it will be known and ther'
will be some notice taken of it. l an
| addressing you as gentlemen and fai
and honorable of this kind and hav
had no occasion to believe that an,
| time when l have held court here tina
man went on the jury and behave,
| otherwise. l am satisfied you will
| give it fair and deliberate and care
full consideration and not stay ther
and hold out, just bent on a convic
ton of some idea that you have go
te serve one side or the other. !
conviction is something that arises ou
of the testimony in the case"
In regard to the charge the cour
says: at is true his honor told tn
jury that he believed they were fai
and honorable, but he left that mat
ter open. The charge contained
threat to invade the secrecy of tn
jury room and punish the juror G
Jurors responsible for a mistrial. Tt
honesty of the juror or jurors respor
sible for the mistial depends not O
their own estimate, but that of tf
court. This was clearly destructi,
of the right to trial by jury"
Other exceptions made by the alto
neys for the defense are overrule
