LONDON, July 4.-Prime Min

the House Of Commons today that
he was seeking permission from the
United States to publish the pro-
posal of Secretary Hughes for the
establishment of twelve-mile
limit in United States territorial
waters for the search Of liquor
bearing ships.
The proposal has not been for
mally answered by Great Britain,
but a recent statement by Lord
Curzon, minister for foreign af
fairs, indicated that England would
not accept the proposals of the
American Secretary of State.
Under the plans urged by Hughes
Great Britain would recognize the
right of search for liquor on her
ships within twelve miles of Ameri-
can shores and would RECEIVE in
return consideration in American
enforcement Of the prohibition law
compelling the seizure of sealed
liquors within the three-mile limit.
Similar proposals were made to
Italy, France and other countries
involved in the dispute with the
United States over the prohibition

The serene tranquility Of Police

completing his cases for the day,

Judge Mcmahon was hearing the

The day had been dull and the evil
dence in the case none too exciting.
The judge was yawning.
Suddenly the silence was punctu-
ated by loud explosions. Judge
Mcmahon sat up In his large chair
behind the bar and squinted In the
direction of the noises.
A policeman, in the meantime, had
gained the corridor and was admon-
fishing the youths responsible.

the law" he yelled.
One Of the bad" boys looked up
at him, raised his finger to his nose
and disappeared into his house.
Rockelli was placed on probation.

LAKE CITY. Fla, July 4.-Com-
pletion of the defense testimony
structure by tonight was forecast
when the trial of r. w. Higgin-

of first-degree murder in connection
with the death of Martin Tabert,
was resumed today. Judge McMul-

Introduction of a series of char

occasioned a stormy duel when the
State protested the cross-examina-

reputation as a whipping boss, but
after a, heated discussion during
which the jury was excused, the
defense withdrew it's objection.
Thus far two ministers, a county
