to Modification of Prohibition
Enforcement Laws.

Employers of labor arc not as a
class opposed to modification of the
prohibition laws, william II. Stayton
of Baltimore, president of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, today told the House
judiciary committee.
Mr. Stayton was the first witness
when hearings were resumed on the
advisa bility OF modifying the Vol
stead act to permit sale of 2.75 beer.
To support his declaration. he asked
the committee to note the number of
business men in the membe rship of
his organization.
Stayton predicted better condi-
tions" would exist in the country il
2.75 beer were Iegalized. One of the
big benefits" he said. would be the
elimination of home brewing"
which frequently is done before
children.
Present enforcement laws. he as
serted, are too drastic, but this should
have been anticipated when they
were passed. las the radical dry ele-
nent passed them"

THOUGHT SHE WAS A CHINESE G|Rl
Now Finds She Is Daughter Of
 White Parents

Billings, Mont, Dec. 3.-Born Of white parents but reared in China by Chinese doctor and his Cau- casian wife, Evelyn Kendall Moy, un- til yesterday believed to be of Mon golian blood, was revealed in what may be a. death bed affidavit, made today by her foster mother. to be a Canadian eirl-daughter of a wom'- an who now IS the wife of a wealthy Toronto business man. The name of the girls mother was not revealed.
 The girl was prevented from mar rying Henry F. Hinkley of Miles City, Mont, by a minister who re- fused to perform the ceremony of . state law prohibiting the marriage of Chinese and whites Mrs Sarah E. Moy. spouse of the oriental phy- sician, has declared under oath that the girl vas born iu Toronto-Junc- ton. Ontario, of Caucasian parents; that shortly after birth. she was adopted by Dr. and Mrs, Moy and taken to China and that they re- turned to the United States In 1913. The affidavit says Mir. and Mrs. Moy were married In New York city In 1905.
 It is believed the affidavit of Mrs. Moy, whose condition is reported to be critical, will remove the obstacle to the marriage.

FOREST FIRES IN CONN. NOT 50 BAD
This Commonwealth Pared Bet.
 ter Than Others

New Haven. Dec. 3.--Connecticut tared better than her neighboring states in the matter of forest fires during the record dry spell this fall, according 10 preliminary reports from the state forester's office. These show that from October 2S when the governor, acting on sd- vice of the state forester, closed the hunting season, up to November r., when 1t reopened, l22 forest fires were reported. These burned over a total of 4,iS6 acres of woodland, averaging S4 acres per fire, except for few fires which burned over several hundred acres,
 That Connecticut had no large fires of several thousand acres as had some of her neighbor states. II says the state forester, in 3 statement just issued, "Ls a tribute to her fire wardens' service which Is entirely on-poltical, and not tied up tc town or county boundary lines, each warden reporting 10 the state for. ester.
 "Durig the period of the ban ol hunting, 16 fires were reported a. started by hunters,i who evidently broke the game and forestry laws. the forester's report says "The rail. way engines, however, were the chief cause of fires. being respon- eible for 2S. Smokers started 2l brush burners 10. the remainder be, ing due to miscellaueo5 causes oi Of unknown origin.
 The good effect of the landowners forest protective associations. one ir Hartford county and two in Fair. field county, who cooperate with the state forester in hiring special for. est patrol men is shown in the smal percentage of fires started on pa. troled areas, the forester's report states.

SHEA7SLEY CASE
 STILL BATTLES
Woman Was Dead Before Being Put Into Furnace

Columbus, O., Dec. 3,--The Bex- ley furnace murder, which for more than two weeks has baftled the forces of county Prosecutor John R. King, today was as much mystery as when the charred body of Mrs. Addie Sheatsley, wife of prominent Lutheran minister. was removed from tho furnace of the parsonage on November l7. the prosecutor said today.
 Posse ssed with what he considers positive proof that the woman was dead before her body entered the furnace, Prosecutor King is unde- cided as to what shape the invest- gation will now take.
 Reports submitted to him yester- day by Chemist c. F. Long and Pathologist II. NJ. Brundage dealt with an analysis of the blood of two guinea pigs which were cremated alive In the same furnace from which Mrs. sheatsley's body was taken, for experiment purposes. The analysis revealed high carbon imonoxide contend in the blood and lungs An earlier analysis of blood from the lungs of the woman by chemists showed no such signs. The experts contend that had Mrs Sheatsley entered the furnace alive she would have breathed long enough to inhale the poisonous gas. The Rev. C. V. Sheatsley, pastor of Christ Lutheran church of Bexley wealthy suburb, and professor of religion in Capital university, has re- sumed his classes at the university He with other members of the fam 1 fly have been questioned repeatedly since the tragedy.
 Convinced that the woman, if not actually murdered, was placed in the furnace after death, yet in DO. session of no clue which throws any light on the mystery the prosecutor indicated that future developments will govern his actions in the case l

y. S. To Sell $47 900 of
Mystenously Seized Rugs
Seven Pieces of Persian Art Said to
Have Been Used as Hangings In
Russian Cars Palace.

Seven Persian rugs, valued at S47,-
600, will be sold at auction late in
February by the Bureau of Seizures
Of the customs department to cover
unpaid duties and salvage charges.
One story is that they were used as
hangings in the palace of the late
Gar Nicholas, although there is con-
siderable mystery concerning where
they came from and to whom they
were consigned.
One rug considered more valuable
than the others is 81 by 70 inches and
is said to be a perfect specimen of
the weaver's art interviewer in the
strands of luxuriant color is a re-
markable likeness of the Gar, seated
on his throne, wearing his saber and
full regalia as Emperor of all the Rus
slams The belief that the rugs were
used as nangings and not as floor
coverings is strengthened by this fact,
since it is pointed out that no loyal
Russian would have walked on like
ness of the Gar.
The rugs are in the usual Persian
colors, mulberry, red and blue and
are so fine they can be crumpled up
almost as though they were silk The
rug bearing the woven image of the
Gar was appraised at $4,000 by the
customs officials.
