RUM SEARCH ALONE is GRANTED
10 U. S. IN TWELVE MILE LIMIT

In connection with the acceptance
in principle of Secretary Hughes pro-

three-mile limit governing fisheries
and maritime rights generally.
The governments adoption of the
American suggestion is designed sole
ly to enable United States officials to
search specifically for liquor contra

this, the United States will permit le-

steamships intended for consumption

ed to meet the vital points of the Am
erican request, without sacrificing any
of Great Britain's interests in foreign
territorial waters. AS already an

expected next week to adopt the COM

pantomime, came to America to stage
several dancing numbers in the Zieg-

girls is found in the sixteen Tiller
girls, who do their celebrated Dance
with the Heels in the Air." lying on
their backs and dancing with their
toes inverted toward the sky.
The three dancing numbers done
by the Tiller girls in the 'Follies.'"

two companies in London.
rFor nearly forty years I have
been training dancers for theatrical
productions" continued Mr. Tiller.

The girls start in when very young

Jane Cowl, who now comes to
