Heirs OF Mrs. Landlord
Meet In Princess Anne

The heirs of the late Mrs. Amelia
}. Landlord, Of Cris6eld, met in the
Orphans Court of Somerset county, to
determine who will be the executors
of the estate, the value of which is es-
timated at $4,000, only about $2O,
600 of which is situated outside of
Somerset and Worcester counties.
The heirs of Mrs. Landlord are her
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Birmingham,
and four groups Of descendants of her
deceased sisters, Sarah Lynch, Eliza
Powell, Margaret Purnell and Orlando
Ayres, making total of rs, most Of
whom live in Worcester county.
Letters of administration were ask
ed by Levin D. Lynch and John D..
Ayres, nephews of Mrs. Landlord.
They were represented by attorneys
Joshua w. Miles and John w. Station.
Mrs. Birmingham was represented by
William F. Johnson, and William B. S.
Powell and John Ayres, by H. Fill
more Landlord.
During the testimony it was
brought out that Mrs. Birmingham
would be willing to be associated with
Messrs. Powell and Ayres. It is also

There is no sign tonight that the

The British government never ac-

that even if Berlin, as France desires,
rescinded its orders for passive re-

mler Poincaro by dropping his mill

failure of the occupation to achieve
the desired results.
If this difficulty could be surmount-

The United States government is I'M

international agreement is reached to

statement was made afterwards by
either as to what had been discussed,
but the conversation is said to have

ship liquor within American territorial
waters.

Coal to Northwest
and New England
First, Now Is Order

New York, June 12-Representa-
tives of New York consumers who
fear a repetition of last winters coal
shortage were told today that it was
impossible for the coal mines to fill
their orders for early summer de-
livery until August.
Robert S. Binkerd, vice chairman
of the public relations committee of
the Eastern railroads. said the roads
were capable of delivering all coal
offered them for shipment but that
operators were shipping coal else
where than east.
The established custom is to
transport coal to the northeast and
to New England while water navi-
CATION is possible, Mr.. Binkerd
pointed out, and then to supply the
east and central states. This prac-
tice the operators cannot change
now. he said, and they can not sup
ply enough coal to utilize all the
cars the railroads can furnish them.

Boston, June 12-That an advis-

invaluable aid to the Republican

nous opinion of a conference of
New England state party leaders

ference here. Mr.. Adams stated. was
to lay organization plans for the
next presidential campaign. Policies
and candidates were not discussed,
President Harding being accepted as
the obvious candidate.
Mr.. Adams issued the following
statement after the conference:
New England like every other

was to get an intimate knowledge or
these and to discuss details that this
meeting of the National Committee
and State Chairmen was held. The
response was gratifying. Every
state was represented. l am highly
pleased with the reports made.
Troublesome situations are being
ironed out. There is a better feeling
among party workers. For an off
year there is excellent support of
the committee. No doubt a large
part of this is due to the prosperity
that has developed in the past two
years in which business men, wage
earners. and manufacturers are par
ticipating. There is. and will con-
tinue to be, close cooperation be-
tween the state organizations and
the National Committee. After re-
viewing the situation in New Eng
land l am prepared to say that the

NO "DIET" BOOZE
ABOARD SHIPS IN
AMERICAN WATERS

Washington, June 12-Further evil
dencc of the United States govern
ment's intention to adhere strictly
to the Supreme Courts construction
of the prohibition law with respect
to liquor aboard ships in American
waters was given today in n ruling
by the Public Health Scrvic>, for
bidding the use of "mcdicinar' Ii
Quor for dietary" purposes by ships
crews.
Given share in the administra-
ton of the Nolstead act, under the
recently issued Treasury regulations
carrying out the courts decision.
health service officials ordered its
physicians in all ports to deny per-
mits for release Of liquor for other
than legitimate medicinal purposes.
The Treasury accepted the decision
as its policy and henceforth. it was
declared, regardless of circumstances
no circumventiCn Of the hard and
fast ban on beverage liquor will be
allowed within territorial waters of
the United States.
While the Treasury, through the
public health service, was drawing
the lines tighter about the use of
liquor aboard foreign ships in AM
erican waters, an administration
spokesman at the White House as
serted that he did not believe that
Congress ever intended the govern
mcnt should be confronted with a
situation such as it now faces. The
officials statement was accepted
generally as forecasting that request
might be made when Congress con-
venes in December for some change
~ 4
the government to extricate itself
from the situation in which it now
finds itself.
Word came to the treasury during
the day that some ships lines al
ready had made plans for storing IL
quor supplies at ports of call nearby
to their American destinations. but
outside this governments jurisdic-
ton. BY so doing, such vessels would
be able to replcnish their lockers on
the outward voyage and yet comply
with the findings of the Supreme
Court RECESSION making the three mile
limit the dead line.
During the day it had been dis
closed at the White House that
President Harding believed It was
obligatory on the administration to
enforce the law rigidly as interpreted
by the Supreme Court unless Con-
gress saw fit to amend it.
In the event foreign governments
look with favor on the proposal to
permit American coast guard craft
to operate twelve miles from shore
in pursuit of smugglers. it is believed
in some quarters that the admin
istration would advocate amendment
OF the Eolstead act to permit liquor
on foreign ships, under proper safe
guards. to come into the territorial
waters of the United States.
Others in touch with the situation.
however. are of the opinion that the
real solution of the problem would
be to make separate treaties with the
powers which would have the effect
Of substituting the provisions Of the
Volstead act under the well-recog
nized tactics that any treaty may
supplant the provisions of an exist
ing act in case of conflict between
them at any point.

Whether the recent decision
of the Supreme Court Of the
United States that a state can
not prohibit or restrict the ex-

will render null and void the
