RENEW SOCIAL LIFE
 AT STANLEY CHURCH
Young Peoples Society and Scout.
 ing Under Consideration

Oficials of the Stanley Memorial church are feeling somewhat gratified
 by the signs of renewed interest ir
 people and the consequent prospects
 Of added social activities.
 The social gathering held by the young people of the church Thurs
 day eve4lng, an account of which
 was published in yesterdays Her
 ald," was so successful from every
 standpoint and so thoroughly en-
 joyed that it has been decided to hold another such meeting within two weeks and there is a strong pos- sibility that a.-Young Peoples society will be organized.
 The plan is to get the young pco- pie, acquainted with each other as well as to get them interested in the church and Rev. Reymond N. Gill man and his wife and other ch,irch officials, are making a strenuous ef- fort to build up a better social rela- tionship among the young men and women.
 Another contemplated move among the younger boys is the revival of the old Stanley Memorial church troop of Boy Scouts. This project was discussed at the recent annual meeting of the Mems club and it is likely it will be put through. Scout Executive Walter o. Cook has been and has taken the mat ter up officially, with the result that a scoutmaster and an assistant have been procured and further action is likely in the near future. It is con- sidered not unlikely that this action will be followed by the organization of a troop of Girl Scouts Mrs. Leon A. Sprague, Girl Scout commissioner, has preached this subject to Mrs. Gilman and a plan is under consid- aration.
 The most important revival" is he new lease of life taken on by the Brotherhood, or Mems club. This Hub, consisting of about 50 members, las set 100 as its goal for the year md is making concentrated drive or additional members. The club las decided to get behind the church, ccially and financially and to give III the moral support in it's power.
 One of the features of the clubs 'lan for promoting social activities s Father and Son" banquet, cheduled for some time in the near uture. Other plans include regular leetings with prominent speakers. lev. John l.. Davis and Rev. Samuel ;. Fiske have been mentioned as packers to address the club.
 A meeting will be held next Fri . ay evening to formulate a plan pro- ram.

WILL CLARA MAKE. NEW GE T-A w AY. FROM HER PR|S0N?.
Hammer Murderess Has Pow erfuI Friends Among Coast
 Underworld

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 27.-- The mysterious man from the under world which engineered the escape of Clara Phillips, the hammer mur- deress, from her barred cell in the county jail. and which allowed her to walk the streets of Juarez un- | melested, despite the plans to bring fallen like a shadow athwart the | path of her return in custody from Honduras.
 'Stoolies" in the local underworld tirped off the sheriffs office that a plot was under way to liberate e Clara from her gingerbread jail" in Honduras with even more ease than
 she was liberated here. Clara, it
 is understood, is only technically in
 custody in the sleepy little comic opera town of Tegucigalpa, Hon. duras, and is being guarded by mem- bers of the local gendarmerie. ]. Clara's underworld friends are de- clared to have said this would be meat for them, and that she would again vanish from under the noses of authorities as soon as help could reach her.
 Authorities Rush.
 So reliable did the sheriff's office consider the tip" that Under
 
 trip to Honduras to extradite the tiger woman," rushed to Sacramento with the remainder of the data re- quired for extradition. It is ex- pected that the data will be for warded to Washington Saturday morning.
 Biscailuz himself will sail from New Orleans for Central America on May 8.
 Dispatches from Central America | indicate that the prefect of police | of Tegucigalpa is acting cautiously in the matter, and that he will not
 actually jail Mrs. R. M. Young,
 til identification is complete. The sheriff's office fears that Claras underworld friends, who have kept her so plentifully supplied with money, as she had none herself, have | already departed for Honduras, per l through train. planning to leave l from there for the coast and go to Honduras by boat. In that event | they would arrive before the of | ficials. and probably before data | confirming Clara's identity.
 ''Knows Too Much.v
 The same rumor said that Clara | would in no event be brought back | to this country. as she knew too much" and intimated that an at | tempt would probably be made 10 raid the official party returning with her and free her again il. case she could not be liberated from her hotel prison" in Tegucigalpa. We will not feel sure that we have Clara for good until we land her behind the walls of San Quen- | tin," said Sheriff Traeged. "She escaped once, and has until now | alDded tho widaSnreaI m national chase ever conducted, so we aren't holding any premature cele- bration. Clara has very powerful friends"

PRESIDENT PLANS T0 USE NAVY N BATTLING BOOZE
Great Britain Asked To Aid In
 Keeping Down Smug-

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Pres- ident Harding is working on two ways of catching rum runners who are boldly plying their trade along the American coast line.
 l. Great Britain has been asked to cooperate further in stopping Brit ish vessels from carrying on liquor traffic between American and for eign ports.
 ?. A plan for using navy vessels to run down rum runners has been de- vised by the President and his cabinet.
 Announcement that plan for using navy vessels had been framed was made at the White House Fri day after the cabinet meeting. It came as surprise. While this method had been suggested. 1t was recently said at the treasury depart ment, in charge of prohibition en- been offered, and it was indicated that officials were rather hopeless of such a method.
 A well worked out program" for combating rum runners by boats of the navy has been drafted, the White House said. It awaits the determina- tion of two legal questions now be- fore the department of justice:
 l. Whether the President has au- thority to declare martial law" against rum running, which is the theory under which naval vessels are to be used:
 2. Whether the President has au- thority to order use of navy vessels and to divert funds appropriated for the navy toward financing the rum chasing fleet.
 If favorable determination of these questions is made by the de- partment of justice, it is indicated that the plan will be put promptly into effect It does not involve going beyond the three-mile limit, the White House announced
 The state department has also been busily using it's offices to check the liquor being smuggled across the cooperation. It has made new rep resentations to the British govern ment. They include the question of cancelling the British registry of rum vessels found to be actually con- trolled by Americans. The British ambassador here has also been asked to aid in securing an agreement be- tween the United States and Canada which would step issuance of clear ance papers to vessels with liquor cargoes designated for the United States. It is also understood that such an agreement may be made also with Great Britain to apply to Eng fish ports and those of her other pos sessions.

Developments subsequent to the marriage of Lanier and Miss Lewis last fall created interest throughout the south. The wedding took place soon after they had attended the Georgia Auburn football game at Co., lumbus and was kept a secret for a month or more. until the bride made it known that her husband had left for home Immediately after the mar riage and had not returned.

Mathews, before whom the case was tried, recently gave Lanier until May 14 to make payment. with the alternative of going to jail.
