PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 4.
Mrs. Catherine Roster was
found not guilty last night of
the murder of Mildred Reckitt, a
doll-faced typist, who was shot
with Mrs. Rosters husband, Oscar,
when they were surprised together
by the enraged wife. The jury
took but one ballot.
AS the foreman spoke the ver-
dict, an impassioned cry of JOY
swept like a fame from the crowd
in the court room.

The shadows Of dusk had begun
TO darken the courtroom when the
jury filed in The small and wasted

who held her ebbing life in their
hands--for doctors say she will die
regardless Of the verdict.
When the foreman pronounced
the word-fOr it was the single
word "not"-tbat set the emotional
mob TO cheering. Mrs. Roster flung
back her face, white and distorted
by n terrible laugh.
In wild, screaming hysteria she
was borne from the room.

court officials. Men and women,
weeping aloud and screaming their

international News Service.

The ramifications of a 'whiskey
smugglers' trust" are expected soon
to be uncovered by a series OF
grand jury actions now engaging
attention of Federal courts from
Florida to Maine. American boot
leggers are alleged to be the finan-
cial hackers of practically all Of
the smuggling of liquors from the
Bahamas and Cuba the past year.
Disclosures of the scope of the
liquor rings are expected in forth.
coming indictments at Savannah.
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and other cities in States
bordering the Atlantic seaboard, ac-
cording to prohibition officials.
Recent arrests opened up trails
that have led into scores of big
cities, it was said. Important rec.
ords were traced in this manner,
disclosing names of bootleg liquor
promoters and their large clientele.
In one city. raid upon the quarters
of wealthy citizen, whose name
is now withheld, pending further
investigation, revealed facts that
have enabled Government agents to
form chain of evidence against
the smugglers.
New York city was a principal
base of operations, and large center
for distribution of the smugg1ed
liquors after safe landings were
made on the Jersey Long Island.
Seizure of the records in the
initial case developed not fewer than
$50 raids upon bootleggers who have
been chief distributors of the
smuggling heads. according to pro.
hibition officials. The raids have
been in progress for the past week
in scores of cities in the Middle
Atlantic and Eastern States.
Linked up with the smuggling
disclosures, officials are on the
tracks Of counterfeiters of Govern
ment stamps and genuine whiskey
labels. The counterfeiters are said
to have worked closely in sympathy
with the smuggling chiefs. The
Secret Service is cooperating with
prohibition authorities in this phase
Of the enforcement cleanup.

Plans for Lausanne Peace
Conference Fail Through
"Allied Arrogance"
BY GEORGE w. HINSMAN, JR..
Universal Service.

Plans for holding a Near East
peace conference at Lausanne have
collapsed, according TO word received
from abroad by the Washington
Government
Owing TO unsettled conditions, the
State Department is Withholding an.
nouncement of the names OF OBJ
servers who were to have been
designated to watch over American
interests at the conference set for
November l3.
Only scant information was avail
able in Washington official circles
today, but indications were that
recent occurrences had made the
Turkish Nationalists unwilling to
participate in peace conference
along the lines previously agreed
upon by the allies. When and
where the conference will be held
and on what preliminary terms ap'
pears problematical.
Official reports received by the
State Department also indicate a
growing Turkish dissatisfaction
with the course of events under
allied supervision. The Angora gov
ernment appears to be taking the
position that it has everything 10
lose and nothing to gain by partici-
pating in the projected Lausanne
conference.
Turkish antipathies have been
aggravated by the stripping Of
East Thrace during the Greek evac-
uation. The Turkish population re.
manning in the area Is without
transportation, cattle and instru-
ments for cultivating the soil
Representatives of the allied gov.
ernments. according to official re-
ports. endeavored to conduct details
OF the evacuation impartially and
will attempt to compel the return
Of stocks belonging in eastern
Thrace. How far they will succeed
in their efforts is, of course, doubt
full.
Turkish spokesman recently have
not hesitated to express themselves
emphatically in reply to charges
brought against them by officials
of the wOtern nations. Statements
attributed to Secretary of State
Hughes i'm his address at Boston
received bitter condemnation which
charged that they were based on
total ignorance" of conditions. The
Turkish Nationalists as q result
have expressed themselves as no
longer willing to accept the offices
Of the United States as an arbiter
OF their difficulties with western
European nations.
