WASHINGTON SEEKS
12-M|LE RUM LIMIT
May Admit Ship Rum and Ex-
tend Search at Sea.
HARDING TO ASK LAW CHANGE
1t Is Said the President Is Convinced
Congress Never Expected the Pres
ent Embarrassing Foreign
Complications.

Washington, June 13.-The United
States government is understood to be
willing 10 permit foreign vessels to
bring sealed liquor supplies into Amer
lean ports provided an international
agreement is reached to extend the
search and seizure limit to twelve
miles.
Affects Foreign Shipping.
1t has not been disclosed how far
Washington has gone in approaching
foreign powers, whose shipping is af-
fected by the liquor ban, with it's new
proposal. Neither has it yet been
made clear how the administration
would carry through it's part of such
an arrangement, if 1t were agreed to
by other governments.
Ambassador Jusserand of France
had lengthy conference with Secre-
tary Hughes, who had requested his
presence at the State department.
The conversation is said to have dealt
solely with the ban on ship liquor.
Attitude of President.
President Harding is convinced that
congress never expected when 1t
framed the Volstead enforcement act
that the government would be con-
fronted as a result of it with the en-
barrassing foreign complications re-
lating to foreign ships entering Amer
lean ports.
This attitude Of the President was
made clear by White House spokes-
man, with the indication that congress
VIII be asked by the executive when it
meets next December to modify the
Volstead act in order to avert con-
troversies over the carrying of liquor
aboard foreign vessels within the ter
r1tortal waters of the United States.
The President made it plain that
the law is the law and must be en-
forced despite foreign entanglements.
The administration at the same time
Will hope to clarity the situation when
Coz .sress meets and will endeavor to
keep the foreign governments paci-
he'd until such relief can be granted.

Within the past two or three months
Col. Oscar DePriest, Alderman Rob
ert r. Jackson and Mr.. "A. II. Roberts
have greatly enjoyed testimonials
which have been given in their honor,
and about one thousand to fifteen hum
dred people attended the blowout Of
Col. DePriest at the Eighth Regiment
Armory, and not far from that same
number were present at the same place
in honor Of Alderman Jackson, and
between seven and eight hundred peo-
pie were present several Sunday eve
nings ago at the Wendell Phillips
High School to do honor to Mr.. A.
Fl. Roberts.
On last Saturday evening more than
seven thousand people assembled at
Joyland Amusement Park to do honor
to Mr. Williams, which was at least
ten or twelve times more people than
attended the three popularity testi-
monials which had been accorded to
the three above mentioned distin-
guished citizens combined
In other words, the people in all
walks Of life turned out by the thou
sands in order to convince Mr. VIII
liams that his friends are unnumbered
and that they wanted to prove that
fact with their presence there on that
more than delightful occasion
Some claim that ten thousand Of his
friends crowded into the Park at thai
time, but being conservative in our es-
innate, we think that there were moi
much over seven thousand people IN
evidence at that time and. we cannot
recall the name or any other single
person in this city who could or car
draw 80 many people around him Al
one time like unto MFR. Williams.
