navy AID FOR DRYS
BELIEVED UNLIKELY
Ruling on Use of War Vessels
to Be Given President.
Reported to Be Negative.

The Department Of Justice plans
Harding before he leaves tomorrow
for Alaska the long awaited opinion
on whether the chief executive has
authority under the Constitution to
use the Navy for enforcement of
prohibition.
While there was no official indica-
tion at the department as to what the
opinion contained, there seemed to be
a general agreement among officials
elsewhere that the decision would
declare that the President could not use
the Navy for such a purpose.
The opinion, 1t was understood to-
day, was virtually completed. 1t is
expected to be transmitted to the
White House late this afternoon or
tomorrow morning, according to pres
ent indications.
Which ever side of the question
the opinion takes, it is expected to
settle. before the President leaves on
his tour, much agitated problem
which some officials have thought
might be allowed to go over until
after the Alaskan tour, giving the ex-
element over rum row a chance to
cool off and the prohibition unit an
opportunity to see If it could sue
cessfully cope with the smugglers.
Extensive search into the prece-
dents of the past, 1T was understood,
had been conducted by officials of the
Department of Justice in an effort to
answer the Presidents question. In
formal indications from several
sources had indicated that the de
partment had been unable to find
sufficient authority to permit the
President to use the Navy.
If the decision is adverse to the
prohibition unit and the hope of
Navy help is cut off, Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes and his dry
cohorts will have lost another poten-
tial ally in their battle against liq-
uor, in addition to the setback re-
ceived in New York state.

continued and persisted generally
throughout the entire area of the
construction project and throughout
the entire period during which the
defendant was engaged in the said
work"
The government alleged that the
defendant failed to purchase sub
stantial initial quantities of material
in the most advantageous manner,
and that some of the purchases were
made from firms in which some of
the defendants were financially in
terested. Materials were bought at
unnecessarily high prices and with
unnecessary proflts added, the bill
continued. and much of it was taken
away and used for private purposes.
Large quantities of valuable lumber
are said to have been left where
wagons and trucks drove over it and
rendered 1t useless. Some was thrown
in mud holes to fill them, and more
was hauled to a scrap pile and burned.
Other materials were left in the
weather to be ruined, the plaintiff
sets forth. and usable things besides
lumber were burned on the scrap pile.
Other charges are set forth in the
bill, which concludes with the state
ment that it is impossible to estimate
accurately the extent of the damage

the lead in the robbery. The other
was man, Mrs. Tesmer later told

The pair robbed Tesmer of a. small

his wife to get out OF their car. The
supposed woman bandit then ordered
the other to take Mrs. Tesmers we'd

PARIS. June 19.-The French lines
Paris sailed for New York Monday
with full complement of liquor
aboard, according to Director Teller
of the steamship company. Half Of
the liquor, however. was put under seal
before sailing, with the understanding
that it would not be touched until the
vessel left United States territorial
waters on the homeward voyage The
ceremony of sealing was witnessed by
the American consul at Havre.
I'VE intend to continue serving
wine to the sailors in the port OF New
York on this trip as before, because
we are forced by French law to do
so," said M. Teller to the corre-
spondent. I'VE want to obey the
American law, but as Frenchmen we
must obey French law also. We hope
that the Havre sealing ceremony will
dispose of the liquor question so far
as the passengers are concerned"

CREWS TO GET WINE.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Antoine
Bordes, general representative in this
country of the French line, announced
that arrangements have been made
in Washington whereby French sail
ors homeward bound would be issued
half a liter Of wine . day after. the
three-mile limit had been passed.
The wine supply will be admitted
under seal as medical supplies" M.
Bordes said. the French minister Of
health having advised the American
government that a half-litre of wine
day was as essential to the well
fare of French sailors as food.
Representatives of italian and
Spanish lines, which also are re-
ply crews with a liquor ration, said
they had not yet been advised Of
any lifting of the barrier for them.
The steamship Paris, due here next
SATURDAY., will be the first French
liner to arrive under the newly
modified wine ration order.

some Of the foreign ship companies.
The foreign ship representatives
are said to have presented the French
claim that under French law dietary
and medicinal liquors are placed in
the same category. Studies'of other
foreign laws on the same subject
resulted in an agreement that the
requirements of the Treasury regu
lations and the foreign statutes could
best be served by accepting the
French claim and allowing the ships
doctors to declare the purposes Of the
liquor.
Officials do not expect Mr.. Melons
instructions to have any effect on
the rigid prohibition against bringing
cargo liquor or stores across the
three-mile limit. Foreign shipping
companies, therefore. that had plan
ned to establish parking stations out
side the three-mile limit are still con-
fronted with the need for q place to
discard such stores as are for bever-
age purposes. The whole object of
the change 10 said to be to comply
with the laws of foreign nations
which require ships of their nations
to carry adequate supplies Of liquor
for ration purposes.
