Extension to October 81 Of the
time in which the ruling would be-
come effective was announced by
Prohibition Commissioners Haynes
Saturday, and was, stated to have
been made because of pending in
functions and in order to give full
time for compliance" Mr.. Haynes
proceeded in his announcement to
state that the opinion. was "to the
effect that the transportation and
sale of liquor on American ships,
and on foreign ships in the terri
torial waters Of the United States
are unlawfully."
1t was suggested today that
French officials may have misun-
derstood the formal notice propos-
ing the effective date of the liquor
transportation ban and may have
taken it as an abridgement of the
previous announcement that trans
portation as we'll as sale of intoxi-
cants is to be regarded as illegal.
Transportation Not Mentioned
The statement Of Saturday Mel.
lon does not specifically mention
transportation, although its terms
are explained by officials as good
enough to cover both transportation
| and sale. It's text follows:
"The propositions of the national
prohibition act are applicable to
United States vessels leaving for.
eign ports after October ID and to
foreign vessels leaving foreign
ports after that date on coming
within the territorial waters Of the
United States.

TO LOST NEGRO

Columbia, Oct. 17.--Governor Har-
vey is seriously considering either
paroling or reducing to FIVE or six
years Imprisonment the sentence Of

the State penitentiary, who has been
under death sentence from Orange

assault since September, 1918.
Brannum's case is curious one.

His case was apepaled, the appeal
never perfected and he has never
been resentenced.
In the lapse Of time attention
has been brought to bear on the
case when Governor Harvey found
that the negro has been at the
State prison under a peculiar stat
us and much pressure has been
brought to bear on the Executive for
clemency on the ground that the
negro is innocent of the charge and
should never have been convicted.
The negro at the time of his ar
raignment had no money nor
friends and A. j. Hydrick was ap-
pointed by the court to defend him.
Ed G. Mann, later elected to con-
gress, was solicitor and prosecuted
him. Attorney Hydrick appealed
the case, arresting, electrocution,
but, when elected solicitor to sue
ceed Congressman Mann, he felt a
hesitancy in stressing clemency
for one who had been his client,
though without monetary consider
alton. There the case crested" and
the negro remained in prison.
Governor Harvey has given a
great deal of thought to the mat
ter; that there was nothing pro-
duced at the trial which would
demonstrate the committal of the
grave charge charged, particularly
the attendant physicians testimony
regarding the physical circum-
stances surrounding the alleged
crime, was demonstrative that it
had not been committed. The most,
stated lawyers, which the negro
should have been convicted Of was
aggravated assault which carries
maximum penalty of six years
Imprisonment. There seems to be
no leagl means by which the negro
can get back into the courts.
Since he has been dclving into
the case the Governor has received
Petition from citizens of Orange
burg county asking for clemency,
which was signed by many Of tho
jurors. The foreman Of the jury
came in his automobile a distance
Of fifty miles, to urge the Governor
to do something in the case. r. r.
Doughty, cashier Of the Bank of
North, and Carlton o. Doughty, an
elhploye of the Federal Land Bank,
Columbia, who were behind the prose-
cution Of Brannum, who lived on their
farm, have asked for clemency.
The Governor is Of the opinion
that the man has suffered enough
and he docs not think he should
remain quiescent in the case and
leave The negro to remain behind

WIDER PUBLICITY FOR
U. S. LIQUOR RULING
October 81 Named as Last Day of
Present Plan-Foreigners Noti-
Ged-French Officials Put Wrong
Interpretation on Daugherty's
Opinion

Washington, Oct. 16.--All Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular off,
GERS abroad have been instructed
by the State Department to give
Attorney General Daugherty barr
ing liquor from American ships ev-
erywhere and from foreign as well
as American ships in American terri
torial waters.
The department transmitted a
statement by Secretary Mellon of
the treasury, who has jurisdiction
over prohibition enforcement, set
ting forth not only what the gen
eral application of the opinion is
to become operative later, but call
ing attention also that the ban on
selling drinks is effective from Oc-
tober 7.
1t is assumed that Mr.. MELONS
message will be delivered at once
to all foreign governments through
the American embassies and lega-
tions, constituting formal notice of
the intentions of the United States
in the enforcement of it's prohibi-
ton regulations.
AS originally transmitted Satur-
day, Mr.: Melons statement set
October IA as the date on which
"the provisions of the natio-al
prohibition act" are to become Of
fective within American territorial
waters. This dae later was changed
to October "a by order of Presi:!>nt
Harding, however, and American
representatives, abroad have been so

Dispatches from Paris today say
ing that French officials inter
pretcd the American notification as
permitting foreign vessels to enter
American waters with liquors aboard
declaring that only misreading of
the American government statement
could account for such an impression.
Both in prohibition circles and at
the Department of Justice the
view was taken that Mr.. Daugherty's
opiillo!l was SlilklnSly explicit IN ltS

liquor upon foreign vessels within the

OFFICIAL
GETS INCREASED PAY

An Increase of salary has been
granted in behalf of Horace Bright,
faithful messenger to the Mayor and
City Council, but the raise" also will
carry with it slight increase in du-
ties. Provision for the increased
monthly stipend was made at last
nights meeting of the City Council
Mr.. Bright has been receiving $50 per
month. He will. in future, get SIS.
The increase came about largely
through the fact that since the posi-
tion of ianitor and caretaker of the
city assembly rooms and Municipal
Building was abolished, following the
death few months ago of William
Farrell, expense has been entailed for
janitor's service in cleaning the Coun-
Gil chamber, assembly rooms, police
station, etc. So the Council finally
took the stand that it would be more
feasible, as well as economic, to
boost Mr.. Bright's salary to the ex-
tent of SIS per month, and an ordi-
nance making provision therefore will
be prepared at once.

Bids for repairing woodwork of mu-
nicipal buildings will be opened by
the public property committee at the

NEW COUNTY ENGINEER
ACCEPTS OFFICE AND
ENTERS UPON DUTIES

At the meeting of the County Com
missioners, held today, the Board had
before il the reply of Robert L. Bur-
well to the notification recently sent
him of his appointment as County
Road Engineer. Mr.. Burwell accept
ed the appointment and proceeded at
once with the duties of his office.
There had been considerable doubt
as to Mr.. Burwell's acceptance, owing
to the financial sacrifice entailed, as
he is known to have had additional
inducements held out to him to re-
main in his former position in Balti-
more. However, as this requires con-
slant indoor work, and as his eyes
have been giving him some trouble,
he decided to accept the road engi-
neership, this being directly in line
with his professional education and
experience. Another controlling ele-
ment entering into his decision is
understood to be that it is taken for
granted on all sides that the County
Engineers salary will, within the
next year or so, be raised to figure
more nearly adequate to the import
ance of the Office and the calibre of
men required to fill it, 1t is general
ly felt that this is the only way a duly
qualified official can be retained and
with this in view, the sentiment
seems to be strong throughout the
county in favor of the increase in sal
airy provided for by law passed at
the last session of the Legislature,
and which is to be voted on at the
election to be held on November z.
Mr.. Burwell is a native of Anne
Arundel county and is a graduate civil
engineer from Cornell University, ~
Y, in addition to which he has had
extensive experience in engineering
and road work, and was one of the
construction engineers during the
building of Baltimore city's 100000
900 sewerage system.
