HELD
 IN U.S. COURT
From Thursdays Oaily)

Tom Chong, said to be pro- prietor of a Chinese laundry or South Granite street, yesterday ap- lpeared before United States Com missioner John A. Renee on a charge of possessing alcoholic liquor in vio- lation of the national prohibition amendment Chong was arrested by federal prohibition enforcement of ficers and charged with violating sections }, 6 and g of title 2 of the Volstead act. He is being held pending decision of Commissioner Renoe on motion for dismissal by Attorney R. E. Morrison, who ap- peared for Chong yesterday
 Two grounds were given by MT. Morrison is moving for a dismissal of the defendant The liquor, a gal lon jug and another bottle contain ing a half-gallon were found in a house on South Granite street said to be occupied by Tom Chong and his laundry business and by three other Chinamen. Mir. Morrison's first ground, that no evidence had been offered to show that Chong was the proprietor of the place in which the liquor was found was not allowed by the commissioner, for the reason that one of the federal of ficers testified that another China man, asked who the proprietor of the place was, had pointed out Chong.
 Whether Chong will be held or not depends upon whether the place in which the liquor was found IS proven to be place of business or a place of residence. The liquor was seized without a search warrant. Four Chinamen, including Chong, were living in it at the time, thus appar- ently making 1t a place of residence. On the other hand, Chong conduct ed his laundry business there. Since liquor cannot be seized in a private residence without search warrant, Chong might be dismissed if the house was proven to be a residence and not a place of business.

BACKGROUND IF IMPAIRMENT FOR F FRONT|ERSPORTS
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Frontier Week this year has seen so many activities in Prescott that space has not been available for adequate treatment of all of them. In addition to the Frontier Day contests, naturally the chief attrac- tion of the week for the hundreds of Yavapai and Arizona people and their visitors, there has been Slip pery Gulch, the ex-service mems show, and the conventions of the National Forest Permittees and the Arizona Cattle and Wool Growers association. Then there have been the various dances which have been operated every night at the New Frolic, the Odd Fellows hall. and Granite Dells. The Cattle and Wool Growers convention which opened yesterday and will continue in ses- sion until tomorrow, is reported in another part of this issue, as is the ex-service mems show.
 Fireman's Ball
 The event of the week in dances was undoubtedly the annual ball of the Prescott Volunteer Fire De- partment which was held in LOOP. hall Tuesday evening. The crowds that attended this event packed the hall so that another couple couldn't have squeezed in if 1t had wanted to. The floor, of course, was so managed as not to let the big crowd interfere too much with dancing. The hall was attractively decorated in Fourth of July colors, and from early in the evening until after mid night the crowd enjoyed dancing to the excellent music of Beatty's orchestra. The Fireman's Ball is the only source of revenue of the vo1un- teer firemen from which funds are secured to keep the club-rooms go- ing and take care of any fireman in jured in service, and since no salary is attached to the work of any fire man except the one man stationed at the hall, the public always gen. erous1y attends the annual ball and gets lot of fun out of cQntribufifig to the funds The ball this year was a big success and considerable amount of money resulted from the sale of tickets, Fire Chief Bob Con- mel reports.
 At Granite Dellls
 Perhaps the event next in impor- tance was the opening of the new Granite Dells resort by Payne brothers and the dance given there by the Fully Sisters orchestra. The opening was held last Saturday night, and on Monday and Wednesday evenings and last night swiming and dancing were the great attractions

Contests Marked
School Elections
Results Indicate That Those Favor.
ing Development Won in
Most Cases

At the annual school election in
the State outside of Wilmington, last
Saturday, there were several interest
ing contests. In most cases the issue
was as to whether there should be
additional funds raised for school
/ Improvements. This was the case
particularly in the Claymont, Dover
and Georgetown special districts.
There were contests also in Caesar
Rodney and Lewes districts.
At Claymont Oliver Hineman, who
was backed by those favoring school
development, won over James B. Ver-
non by vote of 422 to 261.
Mr.. Vernon, is is said, was sup
ported by the Property Owners
League. Mr.. Hineman was supported
by members of the Community
League.
In Dover, where the question Of the
erection of new school also was
made the principal issue, Herman C.
Taylor, who favors a conditional bond
issue to provide funds for the new
building, defeated William Charles
Boyer, who favors a specific bond
issue.
In Georgetown Cyrus Hatfield, who
favors a bond issue for a new school,
was defeated by DR.. James H. Chip
man. The latter is i'll in a hospital
at Clifton Heights, Pa, but is ex-
pected to return home soon. He is
said to favor the Georgetown building
project, also, the chief issue there, it
is said, being over rumored change
in the High School faculty.
In the Caesar Rodney district,
where there appeared to be no special
issue, John A. Barnard defeated R.
F. Brown by vote of 344 to $50. This
district comprises the towns of Wyo-
ming, Camden and Rising Sun, and
the school is considered one of the
best in the State, with everybody in
the community, it is believed, back of
it and for progress.
In the Lewes district, DR.. James
Beebe won over DR.. Joseph NJ. Mar
tin. The issue in Lewes centered
about a proposal to lease the old
school building, since superseded by
the new S250,00O school. DR.. Beebe
has been in favor of the lease.
There were no contests in the Sea-
ford or Laurel districts. H. NJ. Bell
was elected in the former place and
]. Roscoe Elliott in the latter.
In the Laurel district, Samuel G.
Ralph was elected to fill a three-year
term and ]. Roscoe Elliott to a two
year term to fill out a vacancy.
DR.. Walter H. Steel won in the
Newark special district without op-
position and William Winder Laird in
the du Pont special district. DR.
Lewis Booker was unopposed at New
Castle.

B0NAR LAW TAKES
UP NEW DUTIES AS
PRIME MINISTER

London cabinet crisis is full of pos
slble future complications for all
other governments including the
United states. However. and clear
understanding OF what is ahead, 1t
was said, depended very largely on
the progress made by Premier Desig-
nate Bonar Law in his attention TO
form new cabinet.
The immediate result of the crisis
already felt in Washington is the
postponement of the coming to this
country Of the British debt commits
sion headed by ST Robert Horne,
Lloyd George government. Sir
Robert was to have sailed for the
United States a week ago, accom-
panied by Montague Norman, di-
rector of the bank of England. but
the cabinet crisis was then impend-
ing and departure was dela.ed on
that account.
Preparations for discussion of the
problem of refunding the British war
debt to the United States through
issues of long term British securi-
ties had been made by the treasury
and state departments. 1t appeared
doubtful to officials here today, how
ever, when the political situation in
| London would be sufficiently c1ari-
fled to permit British commission
| to be sent. There is little doubt here
| that ultimately the refunding nego-
| tiation will be carried out practically
along the lines already mapped out
although it is admitted that a new
cabinet arising after a general cleo
| tion might change British policy as
| to war refunding.
May Expect Geddes
/ Another possible direct element in
| the situation affecting the United
| States is the status of Ambassador
| Geddes. In recent years the British
government has selected for certain
important diplomatic posts such as
! Washington men of prominent out
| side their British diplomatic service.
| Amba ssador Gedd,1 is of this group
| as was his predecessor Lord Read
| ing, although the late Sir Cecil
| Spring Rice. war time ambassador in
| Washington, was on the regular dip
| lomatic service.
| Naturally men specially selected
| by government for particular d :
| lomatic posts are more affected by
! the political vicissitudes of the
! government which appointed them
| than would be the diplomats who
! have made thdt work their lite Dusl-
ness regardless of political change in
| their own countries. IL policies OF
! the London government are to be
radically changed as result of the
| crisis. possibly ambassadors selected
as was Sir Auckland Geddes may be
recalled
Near East Involved
The United States government also
has a very direct interests in the
near eastern situation, which con-
tributed to the cabinet crisis.
Through Secretary Hughes, the
| broad purposes of the Lloyd George
policy in the Near East--e stablish-
ment of the freedom of the Turkish
straits and guarantees OF protection
for racing and religious minorities
in Turkey-have been Endorsed by

Although one half dozen speakers
had been heard before Mr.. Ramsay
was called on, he received the most
attentive hearing imaginable. In his
address, which was based on his own
experiences as a young engineer. he
recounted many interesting things
which were designed to prove of
benefit to young men starting out
in life. The theme of his talk was
the necessity for doing something
better than others in order to gain
success.
Following the meeting Mr., RAM

guests of the local club, the Villagers,
at luncheon. During the afternoon
the visitors. who comprise the mem

that Mr.. Forbes discussed his plans
for the New Orleans visit with
friends in administration circles here
and they thoroughly approved of 1T

explained today that Colonel Forbes
was prompted to make the trip only
by the most sincere intention to bring
about by personal contact closer
relationship and spirit of cooperation
between the bureau and the veterans
assembled at the convention which
would work to the mutual advanta re
of the government and the World
war men in solving questions between
them.
Invited by MacNidcr
1t also was explained that Colonel
Forbes had been invited by Hanford
MacNider. national commander of the
legion, and other officials of the
veterans organization to attend and
address the convention. At the time
the invitation was accepted. Director
Forbes, himself a member OF the
legion, and said to be intensely tn
terested in its welfare, discussed
plans with the legion officials and,
it was said, they heartily approved
