MISS STOCKNAN
LOSES FIGHT
FORHOME
y. S. MarshaIs Pile Belongings
in Street as She Talks, Un-
aware, to Neighbor.

The fight which Miss Annie
Stockman has made to retain pos
session Of her residence at 81
North Capitol street suddenly ter
minated yesterday when United
States marshals entered the house
and piled her furniture on the
pavement. Some days ago when
eviction was threatened, Miss Stock
man went to the third story and,
brandishing knife, said she would
leap from the window If the mar
shals entered her home. Eviction
proceedings were temporarily aban-
doned.
The house was sold recently to
settle the Stockman estate and
Philip Artina, the purchaser, de-
manded possession. A court order
was signed by Justice Siddons and
the n1arshaIs were instructed to
eviot Miss Stockman. ga
While the furniture and other
effects were being removed Miss
Stockman was talking with a friend
not 100 yards away. She was un-
aware OF the action being taken by
the marshals. Upon her return she
became frantic when she saw her
effects piled on the pavement.
Among the articles removed were

perform, in connection with the en-
forcement Of this policy, those func-
tions which are obviously within it's
proper province. These are compliance
in all it's aspects as it relates to inter-
national commerce. the importation and
expectation Of liquors, the collection Of
federal revenue, the prevention of
smuggling. and in general the enforce
ment of the law within the proper
realm Of federal authority. But the
business of local enforcement, by states
and cities, ought to be in the hands Of
the state and local authorities, and it
should be executed in all sincerity and
good faith, as other laws are presumed
to be executed.
what l am saying must not be
construed as indicating any relaxa-
ton of the national governments
purpose to do its full duty in this
matter. I have no doubt that if the
burde mis- case, in undue proper
ton, upon the national authority the
Federal government will, not only
under this administration but under
whatever others may come in the
future, assume and discharge the
full obligation. But 1 am pointing
out that this ought not to be made
necessary. The national policy ought
to be supported by the public opin-
ion and the administrative machin-
cry of the whole country. For my
self l am confident that we are
passing now through the most diff
cult stage of this matter, and that as
time passes there will be more
willing acceptance by authorities
everywhere or the unalterable obli-
cation of law enforcement. The
country and the nation will not per-
NIT the law of the land to be made
byword.
1T is a. curious illustration of
loose thinking, that some people have
proposed, as a means to protecting
the fullest rights of the states. that
the states should abandon their part
in enforcing the prohibitory. policy.
Thath means simply an invitation to
the Federal government to exercise
powers which should be exercised
by the states. Instead of being an
assertion of state rights, it is aban-
donment of them; it is an abdication;
it amounts to confession by the
state that it doesn't choose to govern
itself but prefers to turn the talk, or
considerable part of 1t, over to the
Federal authority.
The President concluded his ad-
dress at 1.04 o'clock. The applause
given his address was more frequent
than that accorded many of his pre-
vious speeches, on his concluding adj
vocacy of the world court.
The first reference by the President
to the Eighteenth amendment was
applauded and likewise was his
statement that only small minority
believe the amendment ever would
be repealed.
Governor William z. Sweet. Demo-
cratic in welcoming President Hard
ing today, aroused applause by de-
claring that 1.-The time for America
membership in a world court has
come" and that 1.-The people of this
nation are glad that you are anxious
to put this question above PARTISAN
ship and rest it upon the foundations
of Justice and HUMANITY"

His Dry Views
Given at Denver

Denver, June 25-President Hard
ing served notice In an address here
today that the federal government
was determined to enforce the pro-
hibition law even should the burden
of enforcement continue 10 be In
creasingiy thrown upon 1t by the
states.
Moreover, the executive voiced the
conviction not only that the prohibi-
| ton amendment will not be rcjealed,
! nut that whatever changes may be
made in the Volstead Act twill rep
resent the sincere purpose Of effec-
ice enforcement, rather than mod
| eration of the general policy.
Striking straight out at thoss who
violate the law, the President said
! the issue is fast coming to be recog-
nized not at one between the "wets"
| and '"drys" but as one of whether
the laws of this country can be
! enforced"

is concerned" he said, land b am

! While Mr.. Harding made no direct
| reference to the situation in New
j York state, he did say that 1.-THE spec
| tacle' of state multiplying it's own

| sovereignty TO take over an .mpor-
tant part of it's powers. is new" He
added that when the implications

/ understood by people and parties de-
voted to preserving the rights Of the
states, the new nullificationists, I
| venture to say, will discover that

| The president disclosed that a good
deal of testimony is reaching Wash
lnSton that some states having prohi-
bition enforcement codes and even
some which successfully enforced dry"
laws before national prohibition. are
disposed to abdicate their own police
! authority in this matter and TO turn
over the burden of prohibition enforce
ment to the federal authorities"
doubtless" he said. this is largely
due to misconceived notion, too wide
ly entertained. that the federal govern
ment has actually taken over the real
responsibility. The fact is quite the
contrary. The federal government is
not equipped with the instrumentalities
to make enforcement locally effective.
1t does not maintain either police or
judicial establishment adequate to or
designed for such task If the bur-
den of enforcement shall continue to
be increasingly thrown upon the fed
eral government. it will be necessary,
at large expense. to create a federal po-
lice authority which in time will in
evitably come to be regarded as an in
trusion upon and interference with the
right of local concerns. The possible
ties of disaster in such n situation
hardly need to be suggested. Yet it is
something that we must recognize as
among teh menaces in this situation.
