NEGRO FIGHTS POLICEMEN
Desperate Battle in the City o
Boston,

Boston, Jan. 31-Renzy Murray, a
CO year old negro, who stood Off 30
policemen for more than an hour early
today in gun battle that centered
around his South End home, spent to-
night in jail, charged with the murder
of Patro,man Daniel McShane. The
policeman, shot by the negro from a
window of his stronghold, died at a
hospital at noon. Two hundred shots
are estimated to have been fired before
Murray was captured.
william jackson, a negro who lives
in the same house, and Julia Scott a
resident of the neighborhood, were in
hospitals tonight suffering from bullet
wounds and a five months old baby
was suffering from burns sustained
While on it's bed in an upper room OF
the Murray home. The fire, which
nearly consumed the mattress. is be-
lieved to have been caused by powder
flashes from Murray's revolver.
The trouble started when a woman
lodger left the house to tell the police
that Murray had threatened to shoot
her. McShane and three other police
men accompanied her back to the resi-
;dence. They found the door barricad-
ed and Murray shouted an invitation
to them to come to a window. They
did so and McShane started'to climb
in. He was greeted with three shots
from the negro's revolver and dropped
to the sidewalk with g. bullet in his abb
McShane's comrades promptly sum-
moned assistance. Lieut.. Dunlap or
dered out the reserves, sent several
patrolmen from their beats to the scene
and directed the dispatch Of two riot
guns to Murray's barricaded dwelling,
Meantime, the fire department had
been summoned and was prepared to
bring out the negro by the use Of high
pressure nozzles. From both front and
rear the police fired several volleys in
to the house but Murray refused to
come out. Two patrolmen who worked
their way through the house finally
found him in the attic and brought
him down stairs.
When the officers appeared in the
doorway with their prisoner the crowd
which had gathered loudly threatened
Murray. There was rush in his di-
rection and it was with difficulty that
he was landed in the patrol wagon.
At the station Murray told the police
that he had saved one bullet for him
self and another for his wife, at her
request, but that when they got into
the attic his courage failed him. ..
When arraigned for the murder Of
Patrolman McShane, Murry exclaim-
ed: ...
"Murderi Who did ! kill? I didn't
know McShane was dead"

FIashIess Gunpowder.-A flashless
gunpowder is one of the recent devel-
opments of the United States Ordnance
Department.
Smokeless powder took away the
telltale smoke and ever since ordnance
experts have been working to get a
fashless, smokeless powder. The sue
cess of their experiments, says Popular
Science, is indicated by the report that
guns as large as five inches have been
fired at night with so little glow that
observers standing twenty yards, away
could hardly notice it. 1t is said that
sodium and potassium chloride are two
of the chemical substances introduced
into the powder to eliminate the fash.

AS TO BONDED WHISKY
Nominal Owner Has no Right Over


washington, Jan. 30.-Intoxicatng
liouors stored in government bonded
warehouses can not be withdrawn by
the owners for their own personal USE
the supreme court today held in a de-
cision delivered by Justice McKenna,
and dissented to by Justice McReyn-
olds. Such liquor can only be trans
ported from the bonded warehouses
Justice McKenna stated, to n wholesale
druggist for sale to him for purposes
not prohibited.
The court in a previous decision
had held that owners could withdraw
from private warehouses liquor for
their own consumption or for the use Of
their family or their bona fide guests.
Today's ruling marks wide distinction
between private and bonded ware
houses.
Justice McKenna on this point said
that mere ownership was not the
equivalent" to possession and declared
that under the Volstead law, there
must be ownership and possession in
ones private dwelling, and that char
acter can not be assigned to the bond
ed warehouses of the government" The
cases before the court did not, he said.
have the effect of depriving those who
held warehouse certificates Of their
property without due process Of law
nor did it amount, he added, to the
taking Of private property for public
purposes without just compensation.
Referring to the contention that the
prohibition amendment and the Vol
stead act if applied to liquor manu-
factured and lawfully acquired before
the amendment and the law became eff
fective would be void, as taking from
property its essential attributes OF the
right to use it, possess ii and enjoy it.
Justice McKenna stated that the court
was mot disposed to trace the ele-
ments of the contentious minutely, as
they were all answered by the former
decision of the court in the national
prohibition cases"
Referring to that part of the law
which permits one to use lawfully OBJ
