As a result, the arrest of George "
Drake, OF 1875 Franklin Avenue, New
Rochelle, was ordered last night. Drake
formerly was an army lieutenant He
is employed now by the Holt Manufac-
turing Company.
Tires and spare parts were stolen
and sold as we'll as gasoline at the
Fifty fifth Street garage, it is alleged,
the system having been in operation
before Captain Thompson was assigned
there. 1t was said that a civilian Who
was in charge before Captain Thompson
and Lieutenant Drake went to the ga
rage made more than 100000 The
graft from the gasoline fraud alone
is said to have brought the thieves
about 1000 a week. Hundreds of
thousands Of dollars' worth Of govern
ment property is said to have been
disposed Of. the insiders in the plot
investing their profits in seaside bun
ealows on Sandy Hook and Long
Island.

MANCHESTER, KY, April 24.--The
arrest of every person over over twelve
years old in the Mill Creek neighbor-
hood of Clay County has been ordered
by Circuit Judge Hiram j. Johnson in
an effort to break up lawlessness which
eliminated last week in the ambushing
of county officers who went into the
district to arrest moonshiners.
Two hundred warrants were issued by
Judge Johnson and orders were given to
confiscate all rifles and pistols.
Officers made affidavits saying that
moonshine stills and their furnishings
are owned and operated by men who
have formed conspiracy to continue
the violation of laws, if necessary to kill
officers who attempt to make arrests
The affidavits further allege that
men in Mill Greek have conspired to
kill any person who opposes the com.
mission Of crimes or undertakes te
have the offenders arrested, and tina,
in furtherance Of this conspiracy one
or more men already have been shot
down and murdered.

CHARLESTOWN, ". Va, April A.
Before the same bar of justice in the
jefferson County Court house where
John Brown was tried and sentenced 70
death for treason siXty-three years ago
twentythree union coal miners Of this
state to-day were placed on trial en-
the same charge for their part in the
armed march against the non-union
mining districts OF Logan and Mingo
counties last August and September
Its charged in the Indictment against
them that they "most wickedly. mali
ciously and traitorously did ordain,
prepare and levy war against the State
atty which can be inflicted upon convic-
tion is that of death. and it is report
ed that the state will not hesitate to
ask that it be imposed. Thus the twen-
tythree defendants are lighting for
their lives. and to fully as great an ex-
tent as some OF them are alleged to
have done with rife and pistol after
the beginning OF the "battle Of Blair
Mountain" which ended the 'narch or
Logan and Mingo."
There is about an even chance that
the case may not be permitted TO pro
grcss to that or any other conclusion.
however as the opening move Of the
defense was motion to quash the
indictment. based on technical but
nevertheless forceful and clear cut
legal point which caused judge John
Mitchell Woods, the presiding jurist,
TO supply his study lamps with mid
night oil tonight in his endeavor to
come to a conclusion concerning it.
"Felonious" Left Out
This point was that in no part OF
the indictment does the word ''feon-
ious' appear. According to the defense
attorneys the statutes Of West Viz
einia place crimes i'll only two classes,
fclonies and misdemeanors, and the
state supreme court has frequently
held that ''felonious' should appear III
all indictments for felonies.
Therefore. counsel for the defense
argues. the crime OF treason in West
Virginia as presented by the indict-
ment. must either appear in the light
Of nisdemcanor. which cannot carry
the death penalty with it. or else the
Indictment is faulty and should be

Y. Y. Asphalt Shipped
To Havana as Opium
Four of Eighteen Boxes Of the
Drug Found To Be Loaded
With Chunks of Pavement

HAVANA, April "a BY The Asso-
ciated Press) s).-Chunks of New York
city asphalt pavement have been dis
covered in four of eighteen boxes Of
opium consigned from New York to
Havana. according to l.. S. Kyle, an
American revenue agent.
Mr.. Kyle to-day began an investi-
CATION of the shipment The Amert-
can government had asked through
diplomatic channels that the 1900
Kilograms of opium supposed to be
contained in it be held until it could
be ascertained if 200 pounds of opium,
said to have been found by raiders
in New York's Chinatown, were stolen
from the shipment before it left New

The belief of Mr.. Morgan that Ger

the terms were satisfactory. very

He was unwilling to be tied down to

The present time offers, in Mr.. iior-

Anti-Ward Revolt Spreads
Civic Groups Throughout
County Join in Dcnounc-
ing Scheme as Vicious

This IS The second Of series Of
articles on "The City of Vest
chester" plan. The third article will
appear IN The Tribune to-mo7yow. I
| 1he most important aspect OF the
campaign that is developing against
the City Of Westchcstcr project is the
situation OF thousands and Thousands
Of persons who earn their living in
New York. but who are trying to Gre
ate homes for themselves in West
chester County.
| Ordinarily the mass Of these per
sons take little interest in the affairs
Of the politicians of the county. For
some of them, however, the difference
between Wcstchester County and a
! City of Westchester might be the diff
terence between possessing an equity
! IN their homes and not possessing one.
a sharp rise in taxes might upset the
! calculations OF countless adventures
in the field of domestic economies.
That js hazard, though, that has
( not been dwelt upon in the numerous
+ condemnatory resolutions that have
! been adopted recently by civic bodies
and other organizations recording
( themselves as opposed to a City OF
| Westchester. The consensus as cx-
pressed in these documents is that the
! plan would be destructive of all hone
Of intelligent application Of the prin-
cipe OF selfrule.
Few Openly Champion Project
There ia so little feeling favorable
to the City OF Westchester scheme that
it is difficult to get any one TO say
A kind word for it, Even Surrogate
+, George l.. Slater, whose prophecy,
made last January. that Westchester
would be a single municipality within
, two years has had surprisingly little
to say about it. Nevertheless, the Re-
publican organization, headed by Will
! liam l.. Ward, of Port Chester, is not
permitting any of its members to par
/ ticipate in the attacks upon this plan.
There was meeting of the Republic
can City Committee OF Nonkers en-
Apri X in which there was a demon
stration of the vitality of the City Of
Wcstchester project Ulrich Wcisen-
danger, formerly sheriff of Westchcs-
ter, introduced a resolution dcnouncing
the city government scheme. The
Ward forces knew that the resolution
was to be introduced and thcY were
prepared for it, The chairman Of the
meeting was Wade Hampton, Of Yon-
kers. Ward supporter. One Of the
Ward men moved to table the resolu-
tion and it was tabled with the assist
ance Of about thirty proxies, which
were voted over the vociferous pro
tests of the anti-Ward crowd. group
generally referred to as the Suther-
land " eiscndanger forces.
The tabling Of the resolution was
declared by persons hostile to Ward to
be a complete demonstration of the
