Consolidated Press Correspondent.

Portland, Maine. Sept. 23.-Maine.

of prohibition, has gone the famed
18th amendment one. better. She
has denied citizenship to q man
whose breath appeared to be taint-
ed with alcohol.
Chief Justice Leslie C. Cornish Of
the state supreme court is rebpon-
sible for the setting up of this new
prohibition standard. Whether it
will be followed by his colleagues
on the bench remains to be seen.
1t also remains to be determined
whether the fruity odor of apple
juice that has been allowed to stand
will be differentiated against in
passing upon qualifications for citi-
zenship inasmuch, as despite the
Dow and prohibition records, cider
is very welcome beverage in this
state.
The incident which resulted in
the ruling took place in Alfred, the
county seat of York county where
Chief Justice Cornish is sitting dur
ing the September term. Among the
applications for citizenship was one
from John Miller Of Springvale.
Miller appeared before the judge
and was asked the various ques-
tions touching on his qualifications.
All was moving smoothly when
Justice Cornish, who is one of the
leaders Of the prohibition element,
looked up.
Judge SniifA.
He shifted once, twice, thrice.
Then he motioned for Miller to
come closer to him. Then his honor
shifted again.
Are you drinking man!" he de-
manded while silence fell like = pail
over the court room and the other
applicant for citizenship gazed and
wondered.
mo, your honor" replied the ap-
p1icant.
Have you been drinking today p
the chief justice demanded.
Il have not" was the emphatic
reply.
Your breath smells Of alcohol
and will deny your application
snapped out the Judge.

WANTS RECORD
USED BY SMALL
AS TREASURER
Lawyer Says Books
Are Lost or
Hidden.

Carrollton. ILL.,, Sept. 23.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Arguing in the
support Of the civil suits against
Governor Len Small, Lieutenant
Governor Sterling and State Audi
tor Russell, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Clarence N. Boord caused a
bit of excitement in Greene county
circuit court here this morning by
.chargipgthat the three former
slate ffeAsurers had lost, hidden
or mutilated" certain records of Of
flee.
The charge was made in answer
to the demand of defense counsel
that the prosecution be more spe-
cific in its charges, which under
lie the suits for an accounting.
"The purpose of these SUITS" Mr..
Boord declared. sis to compel de-
PENDANTS to bring missing records
into COURT
The bill does not make specific
charges, he said, because the rec
ords Of the three former state
treasurers are incomplete. MANY
records material to this case have
either been lost, or are hidden, and
some have been mutilated," LIE
charged.
Then he indicated the extent CT
the trial the attorney-general con-
templates. Exhibits in this case" +"
he said would fill eight or ten i'm
'mense trucks and hundreds of wit
nesses will be required"
Statute Governs.
Answering yesterdays conten-
ton of former United States Seha-
tor Sherman, for the defense, that
the state treasurer is a common
law officer, whose relation to the
state is that of debtor to creditor,
Mr.. Boord declared there was no
such officer at common law. The
office of state treasurer was cre-
ated by statute, he said, ARD
statutes govern him. Quoting the
Fergus cases, he said, it was held
that the governor of Illinois was
mot common law officer"
consequently and for a strong
er reason" he added, "the treasur-
er is not common law officer"
Should the contention of the de-
tense be upheld" he declared, "a1d
the Office Of treasurer be defined SIS
that Of debtor, the three defendants
and the present state treasurer
may pocket and keep two millions
Of interest on state money. The
present treasurer alone could
pocket one million"
He indicated that other suits
against the bondsmen of the three
former treasurers may be filed.
Bondsmen were included In the
present suits, he explained, solely
to give them legal notice.

Paris, Sept. 23.-The Allied con-
ference on the Near East has agreed
to send joint note to the Angora
euvernment assuring the return Of
Constantinople to the Turks, and
temanding the freedom of the
straits. 1t is believed also to offer
he restoration of Adrianople and

conditions.
'Constantinople, Sept. %. = (By
the Associated Press. 1.-THE French
government has sent wireless
message to Mustapha Kemal Pasha
requesting him not to take any ac-
ton until the arrival OF the special
French emissary, it was learned
here today.
Within SO hours the world will
probably know whether the Turk
ish Nationalist5 have chosen war or
peace. The Angora cabinet, meet
ing at Smyrna, is expected hourly
to declare whether the Kemalists
will await the peace conference
proposed by the powers or take
matters in their own hands by in
vading Thrace.
The Turks are fully aware Of the
weakness Of the British land forces
now precariously holding points
along the Asia Minor shore, and are
convinced of their ability to defeat
them.
French official circles hold that
the only thing which can stave off
the nationalist attack is pledge by
Great Britain tO support France in
tut ranteeing that Thrace will be
evacuated promptly by the Greeks
and restored to Turkey.
British Policy.
London Sept. 23.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press THE policy Of Great
Britain in the near east is to estab-
lish the freedom of the Dardanelles
under the supervision of the League
Of Nations, declared Prime Min
lister Lloyd George in a statement
at conference with the newspaper
men this afternoon.
Mr. Lloyd George said that in
view of the steps the government
! had taken to strengthen the mill
tary and naval forces in the Dar-
danelles and the Bosphorus had
been dictated by two supreme con-
siderations:
First: Our anxiety as to the
freedom Of the seas between the
Mediterranean and the Black sea" ,"
and. y, H
Second: To prevent this excep-
tionally prodigal war from spread
ing into Europe.
The British government, the
prime minister said, had been i'm
partial as between the Greeks and
the Turks. He pointed out that q
lew weeks ago the Greeks threat
ened to march on Constantinople,
and at that time General Harrington,
The British general in chief COM
mAnd at Constantinople. had
warned the Greeks, lin Identical
terms as the warning now given to
Austapha Kemal Pasha."
In pointing out Great Britain's
mpartiality, as shown by her
Warming to the Greeks, he added:
We acted then in the interest Of
peace. The same motive is inspir-
nE our action today"

U. S Treasury Damaged by Fire.

Washington. - Flames which burst
from the roof of the treasury depart
ment, eating their way through a su-
perstructure and spreading to the
central portions Of the roof were
brought under control after threaten
ing heavy damage to the building.
Leaping 300 feet or more in the air,
the flames lit up large part Of the
downtown section and sparks were
waited across the street to the White
House lawns. Awakened by White
House attendants, President and Mrs.
Harding dressed and watched the pro-
gress Of the flames at window.
Several smaller explosions occurred
in quick succession as the flames rose
to height OF 80 or 40 feet and ap-
peared to be enveloping the entire CEN
trail portion of the roof. Sparks from
the fire were being swept by light
southeast wind in the general direc-
ton OF the White House but 1t was
believed that structure was in no dan
ger.
