WATERS MUST FACE
TRIAL FOR MURDER

William A. Waters, twenty-eight
years old, of Alexandria, Va, must
answer the Indictment for murder in
the first degree reported against him
by the District OF Columbia grand
jury June 20. 1929. In connection with
the stabbing to death OF Louis B. McI
Cormack, on the steamer Manchester
during q "near-riot" on the boat. Jus
tice Bailey. IN Criminal Division l, to-
day overruled pleas in abatement flied
by Attorney Edmund Burke for the
accused. In which he attacked the
jurisdiction OF the local court on the
plea that the boat was tied to the
wharf at Alexandria when the cutting
occurred. and that the local tribunal
did not have jurisdiction over mari
time offenses on the Potomac river.
The decision OF Justice Bailey up
holds the right OF the District Su-
preme Court over offenses committed
on the river, but allows the defense
to raise the question OF the location
OF the crime when the case Is called
for trial.
In his argument Assistant United
States Attorney O'Leary admitted that
unless the government showed that
the crime was committed within the
jurisdiction OF this court, Waters
could not be convicted. The prosecu-
tion must bear the burden of proving
that the killing took place IN the Dis
trict of Columbia or within its juris-
diction. the government admits.
Waters will be required to plead to
the indictment next week, 1t is ex-
pected.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, December -
Speaking before the Ohio law enforce
ment conference. which he was asked
to call by President Coolidge. Gov.
Donahcy today declared in favor of 8
strict enforcement of the prohibition
and all other laws, saying "G consider
honest enforcement OF law the greatest
problem confronting the American peo-
pie today"

people want vigorous enforcement Of

''The people Of Ohio continued the
governor, 10 not expect their public
servants TO dodge their responsibility,
neither do public officials expect the
people to dodge their responsibility
Both have responsibilities. and law
is best enforced when citizens and
their officials work In harmony"
Pointing out that in Ohio numer-
Gus prohibition officials have been
assaulted and murdered and the
homes OF others have been assaulted.
the governor emphatically declared
that every agency of tho state VIII
be placed at the command OF sheriffs
and prosecuting attorneys In order
that punishment of these offenders
may be swift and certain

The governor urged that public Of

URGES es AS RETIRING AGE.

Secretary Mellon. In his annual re-
port today, declared that the amount
of money in the Treasury to the
credit Of the civil service retirement
fund would seem to Justify both the
lowering Of the age limit and tho
granting OF increased annuities"
The stand Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury upon these two points was
welcomed today by members Of the
Retired Government Employees Asso-
citation and other bodies. which have
been working since the adoption Of
the law several years ago for In
creased annuities and q lowering Of
the retirement age.
Secretary Mellon said that he de.
sired to call attention again to sug-
Eestions made in the annual reports
Of the Secretary OF the Treasury for
1921 and 1922 to the effect that the
age limit for retirement should be
lowered from seventy years to not
more than sixty-efght years, and that
the annuities granted under the re-
tirement act should be increased.
THE present annuities are not suf-
hcient In themselves to support with
any degree Of comfort those who are
retired, ana I believe that somewhat
more liberal provision would be
justified" said Secretary Mellon.
The Secretary tells In his report
that holdings Of the civil service re-
tirement and disability fund by loans
on June 30. 1923. totaled 26.0a4,260.
