Filmdom today mourned the passing

His death came as he lay in the arms

he had mumbled in semi-delirium,
"God-I--pIease''
He had been unconscious for many
hours, but in his last talk with his wife
when his mind was clear he seemed
to be aware, relatives said. that death
was almost upon him.
At that time he said: "Tell them,

NEW WAR ON RUM,
DRY AGENTS PLAN
Secret Conference Held to
Curb Activities of Boot

By the AssocInted Press

NEW YORK; January "A veil of
secrecy was thrown about a confer
ence today at the customs house be-
tween customs officials and prohibit
ton enforcement authorities.
1t was assumed that the chief tonic
for discussion would be how to cone
with the rum feet off the Jersey
coast, but Acting Collector of the

sion would be executive and that no
statement would be forthcoming.

Dry Navy Reports.
Dry agents have constantly declined
to state the strength of their navy in
this district. and today even more
doubt arose concerning its strength
Several customs officials frankly ad-
mitted that the announcement made
last week that the cruiser Lexington
had been armed with machine guns was
propaganda intended to throw fear into
the smugglers. A vessel bearing the
name Lexington has been lying for
more than week at the Battery, COW
cred with rust and showing no machine
guns or other weapons.
Boats seized as rum runners last
week were pressed into government
service, customs officials admitted. A
launch, with five men and case of
Scotch whisky aboard, was captured aft
er chase through the craft on North
river yesterday, in which a dozen shots
were fired. The men were bound for
a christening in New Jersey, they said.
They were held in $4,000 bail each.
The withdrawal of submarine chas-
ers, the nucleus of the dry navy, be-
cause of the exhaustion of the fed
eral appropriation, resulted in the
pressure into service of cutters used
by customs officials in boarding yes
sells, and these are said to be the
only craft now available to check
rum running. The cutters are op-
Grated by the coast guard service,
which has no direct instructions to
enforce prohibition, but only TO lend
such cooperation to those engaged
in the work az they may deem neces-

MAY CALL HUGHES
IN BOYDEN PROBE
Senate Committee Seeks
Light on U. S. Participation
in Reparations ParIey.

y part Of the story of American un-
official participation in the repara-
tions commission was heard today by
the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee, but it decided to ask for fur
ther information from the State De-
partment before acting on the resolu-
ton of Senator Robinson, democrat,
Arkansas, authorizing official Ameri-
can representation on the commits
sion.
Secretary Hughes, responding to
previous request from the committee,
sent to Chairman Lodge a paraphrase
of the statement recently made to the
commission by Roland w. Boyden,
the unofficial American observer, but
said 1t was impossible to submit any
complete summary of the work of the
American staff of observers, because
their activities had covered sucn a
wide range of topics.
Dissatisfied With Report.
Some members express dissatisfac-
tion with the Secretary's response,
and asked that he be called before
the committee for questioning. No
decision on that proposal was reach
ed. however, pending another confer
ence between Mr.. Hughes and Senator
Lodge.
There were indications of a stiffening
Of opposition to the Robinson proposal

committee adjourned, and it was pre-
dicted in some quarters that a counter
move, having for it's purpose the re-
call of Mr.. Boyden and his associates
and complete severance of relations with
the reparationS commission, would come
soon from some quarter in the Senate.
Paraparase Placed in Record.
Senator Lodge placed in the Con-
gressional Record the paraphrase of
Mr.. Boyden's speech of January 8,
already published, in which it was
declared that provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty were Impossible" in
their application to Germany. The
committee chairman did not, however,
make public the letter from Secretary
Hughes, in which the lattef is under
stood, with other things, to have
highly commended the manner in
which Mr.. Boyden and the staff of
American observers had conducted
themselves in the reparations discus
slons.

ITEM TO S56,5S5,OOO

Routing all opposition, including

$37, 100000 to $56, ,5S5 900.
The vote was taken after one of the
stormiest sessions of the present

debating the item, the House became
impatient for vote and the speakers,
including Representative Mondell, re-
publican leader, and Chairman Mad
den of the appropriations committee,
were interrupted by demands for a
vote from all over the House.
The motion for the increase, made
by Chairman Dempsey of the rivers
