"REDDEST" S0V|ETS
WILL co ABROAD
Berlin Promised Karl Radek,
"Fire Eater" of Pe0-
pies Commissars.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1923.
BERLIN. June 2s-The soviet coun-
Gil of peoples commissars, the Rus
sian supreme political body, has de-
cided to get rid of some of its more
radical members by giving them
posts abroad, according to a report
received here. Karl Radek. the most
notorious fire-eater Of them all, is to
be made ambassador to Berlin; Max
i'm Litvinov Is to be sent to London,
and Leonid Krassin is to go to Rome,
to take the post occupied by vorovski,
who was shot and killed in Lausanne.
Whether Radek would be acceptable
to the German government is a ques-
ton which is being debated along
Wilhelmstrasse. 1t will be recalled
that Radek was locked up in Berlin
for several months in 1919 for carry
ing on bolshevist propaganda in Ger
many. He has been here many times
since Germany and Russia signed the
treaty Of Rapallo and frequent de-
mands have been made to have him
expelled from Germany because he
was up to his old tricks.
Krassin has just arrived in Berlin
from London, where as the present
Russian ambassador Krestinski has
been summoned to Moscow.

MAY NOT APPEAL
CASE OF POTH|ER
Government Said to Hold De-
cision Affecting Cronkhite
Murder Suspect Is Correct.

Department of Justice officials in
dicated today that the government
probably would not take an appeal
from the recent decision in the Rhode
Island federal court dismissing the
indictment against Roland r. Pothier
involved in the Cronkhite murder
case at Camp Lewis, Washington.
The Rhode Island court held that
there was no jurisdiction by the
federal courts on the ground that
the alleged place of the murder was
not government territory and the al
legged crime was punishable by the
state of Washington.
While the question of an appeal has
not been definitely determined, the
government having ninety days to
decide its course, Department OF JUS
tice officials were represented as be-
ing satisfied that the Rhode Island
court had determined the law cor
rectly and it would not be wise to
take an appeal to the Supreme Court
with little chance of securing a re-
versal of the lower court decision.

JUDGE ORDERSU. s.
TO RETURN LIQUOR
Stock Worth $1,000 Seized
Illegally From Shaw, in
Raid, Court Rules.

An order has been signed by Judge
Robert E. Mattingly on the prohibi-
tion unit of the United States revenue
service for return of $4,000 worth of
whiskies and other intoxicating bev-
orages. the property of Frank Shaw.
taken by the prohibition officers when
Shaw's place at 1928 New York ave-
nue. northwest was raided last fall.
The stock consists of 515 quarts of
choice -Volstead stock.
Shaw was charged with selling and
possession in violation of the national
prohibition law. He was tried some
time ago by a jury before Judge
Robert Hardison and acquitted of the
charge of selling. The charge of
illegal possession has not been tried.
Following the acquittal Attorney
William E. Leahy began proceedings
for the recovery of the conf1scated
stock. Mr.. Leahy submitted copious
authorities upholding his contention
that the Shaw premises had been
unlawfully raided on a, search war
rant that was void on its face, in
that 1t did not comply with the re-
Quirement of the law governing the
issuance of a search warrant by spe-
clncally anu particularly deSCrlplnS
the premises to be searched and the
things to be seized.
Judge Mattingly held that the con-
tention was we'll taken.
The case was held in chamber
There was no point raised that the
government must prove illegal pos
session, as the Volstead act says that
the burden of proof of legal posses
ylon lies with the defendant. Mr..
Shaw contends that he was in legal
possession of the stock taken from
him for the reason that he purchased
the whiskies before the Volstead act
went into effect.

Copyright 1923.
LONDON. June 29.-In an address
before sixty members of the house of
commons Friday Earl Beatty, ad-
miral of the fleet, urged with all his
exceptional ability the supreme i'm
portance of building a great dry dock
at Singapore, using for that purpose
public funds totaling more than $780,
600, 900.
His argument is described by one
who heard him as a most brilliant
exposition of defensive strategy. He
explained why Singapore had been
chosen, its advantages from the point
of view of protecting the eastern por-
ton of the British empire, and gave
description of the fleet in eastern
waters.
Naval Men Urge Project.
Since the first proposal to build
great defensive naval works at Singa-
pore great opposition has developed
which is being gradually overcome
by continued work on the part OF
high British naval men. who main
tain that the future holds grave pos
which Great Britain must prepare to
meet by Strengthening the position
of Australia.
Vice Admiral Cuthert Hunter in a
recent interview declared that moth
ing was more certain than friction
between Australia and Japan He
said that Japan's rapidly increasing
population made her demand Tor new
territory imperative and the logical
route would be southwark. first to the
Philippines and then to Australia.
There was. he asserted, more re-
mote possibility of China becoming
warlike for similar reasons. but ow-

tion there the danger was not nearly

ment When Japanese immigration
to Australia becomes too large Great
Britain must prepare to aid the COM
monwealth in resisting, and he con-
sidered the naval base at Singapore
as one of the best safeguards.
Mentions U. s. Position.
Admiral Hunter insists that the
Singapore base would be necessary
even should the Japanese canter their
efforts on the possessions of the Unit
ed States in the far east. This he
claims would make 1t more than ever
necessary for Great Britain to throw
her strength with that of the United
States.
Opponents Of the Singapore base de-
clare that by the time 1t is completed
battleships will have been replaced
by aircraft, but Admiral Hunter dis
a necessity for aircraft carriers even
though battleships become obsolete.

forth that Great Britain's new naval
