ADMITS SIX
 BURCLAR|ES

Admitting six burglaries and sus- pected of over thirty more, Howard kLosfnis of 2S Third street. was taken into custody by Detective Sergeant Gerrity, yesterday, and is now being held at police headquarters in bonds of $1,500. Loomis has long been suspected of a series of 'breaks" which had been reported to the de- partment of late and it was only af- ter a severe grilling by Lieutenant Bray that Loomis confessed. He was later taken out by the police and asked to point out some of the houses which he confessed to have burglar ized but this he refused to do. Later, he retracted his confession.
 The thefts he confessed to at first and at which he claims he secured money and jewelry in most instances were as follows:
 Henry Gulliver's home at 1882 Stra tford avenue; Mrs. Julia Novacks, 1917 Stratford avenue; Arthur Luck Rudd, 430 Pembroke street; Mrs. J. Potter, 344 East Main street, and Mrs. Van Stone, of 356 Bond street.
 He is also suspected of many other jobs throughout the city.
 Loomis is reported to have been very daring in the methods he ern- p1oyed and at the Potter house in Particular when interrupted in his work inquired Of MfS. Potter IT boarder (caIIfng him by a fictitious name) lived there. When told he did not, he excused himself and left Shortly after the loss of jewelry val ued at close to $500 was discovered. He was later detected in a second job in a house on Park avenue, the police say, but managed to make good his escape by 1eapiEg through 8 side door.
 The police say they have found Loomis very elusive in their search for him one day being in one part of the city and the next day being in another If he still refuses to confess when his trial comes up on October 21. 1t is expected that the police will request Mrs Potter to identify him as the man who she discovered at her house.

MORSE. LOSES \.
 FI(1IE TT
Son of Millionaire Ship Builder Ordered De-
 tained for Removal to
 N. Y.

Harry N. Morse of Greenwich,
 son of Charles w. Morse, million-
 aire ship builder, charged with
 conspiracy to use the malls to de-
 fraud, lost his court fight in re-
 movaI proceedings here today,
 when United States Commission
 CT Hugh J. Iavery ordered him
 detained for removal to the South
 ern District of New York for trial.
 The defendant, who is now out on bail, fought against removal from the jurisdiction of this state inasmuch as he is a resident Of Connecticut. Com missioner Lavery, in ruling against Morse, today ordered him to appear before him at 2:30 p. m. next Thurs day afternoon ''and be detained for removal
 Charge Fraud.
 Harry F. Morse, his father, brothers, and others were indicted by the gov ernment in the Southern District of New York. In his ruling today, Com missioner Lavery says:
 An examination of the indictment will show that the defendants, includ- ing Harry F. Morse, unlawfully con- spired to devise a scheme to defraud various private investors by placing in the Post Office advertisements for the purpose of executing a scheme to defraud; and that the said scheme to defraud was by representations that purchasers of stock of the United States Steamship Company would be
  the way of dividends and enhanced value of such stock; that these repre- sentations were to be false as such defendants would well know"
 Lavery's Ruling.
 Commissioner Lavery thus replies to the first claim of the accused that the indictment did not charge an of fense." To the second claim of the defense that no probable cause exist ed Commissioner Lavery replies "an indictment charging an offense under the laws of the United States is prima facie evidence of probable cause in removal proceedings"
 Commissioner LaVery also dfspOses of the third claim of the accused, that under the laws of this state no offense was proved, by asserting that the evil dence was sufficient to establish prob able cause. To the fourth and final claim of Harry Morse that he is now on bail in the District of Columbia and this fact is a bar to his removal, Commissioner Lavery has ruled this no bar to his removal, the offense in the District of Columbia being a different offense.

WEI-DRY FORGE LIN E UP
Court Fight Starts on Daugherty's Ruling on Ships Carrying Li- quOr.

New York, Oct. 17.-(By the
 A. P)-Wet and dry forces face
 each other before Federal Judge Learned Hand in the first pitched
 battle between federal prohibi-
 join enforcement authorities and
 foreign and American steamship
 lines over the validity of Attor-
 ney General Dauehertys liquor
 ruling.
 The calendar of Judge Hands court was cleared for the hearings of tenn porary tnjunctions returnable today, restraining the enforcement author fties from putting into effect the ru1- ing forbtddtng American and foreign ships, leaving port after October 21, from carrying liquor under seal into or out of American ports. A disting- uished array of counsel was present, representing the federal prohibition authorities, the treasury department and the Cunard, Anchor, White Star, French, Ho1land-Anaerica, American Red Star. and United American lines, and the International Navigation com pany.
 The governments force were pre- pared to present arguments to show cause why they should not be perma- nently enjoined from putting into ef- feet the provisions of the Daugh erty ruling. Attorneys for the steamship companies were prepared for a bitter Eight. It was stated by representa- what the result of the hearings, the test cases would be brought before the United States Supreme Court
 All of the American lines of the American steamship owners associa- ton and foreign lines, such as the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the Lamport and Holt, the North Ger man Lloyd and others in the trans Atlantic and South American trade will await the results of todays hear 1ngs, before taking action.
 Action by enforcement agents against either foreign or domestic ships is at standsti1, according to H. c. Stuart, acting collector of the port, who said he had been instruct ed to mark time by the treasury de- pertinent. Meanwhile crews of French vessels in port here had their usual rations of wine today: foreign vessels sailed with liquor on board, either to sell 1t outside the three miles or to keep it sealed to dispose of it in foreign ports; American vessels unfavored by the extension of time until October 21, sailed under the "bone dry regime"
 Millions of dollars In property trade rights and good will are said to be at stake, which counsel for for eign lines have claimed that infringe ment of treaties between American and foreign countries and violation of foreign laws. are points involved.
