Dismiss Agent
Who Raided Home
De Fritsch in n. York

New York, Aug. - Robert j.
Owens, federal prohibition agent.
who led a raid on the home of Hugo
Gilbert de Fritsch, whose wife is n
niece by marriage of Chief Justice
Taft, last Friday. was dismissed
from service by an order issued from
Washington tonight. Owens dismiss
sal followed shortly after the stock
of prohibition liquor seized at
the time was returned to the house
by two of the other agents who had
taken part in the raid.
The action against Owens was TAX
en- on. the ground that he had mis-
represented the facts when he had
procured a warrant to search the De
Eritsch residence.
1t was also reported from Wash
ington that the dismissed agent may
have a charge of perjury made
against him because OF the fact that
he had failed to inform the United
States commissioner issuing the war
rant that the raided premises were a
private residence and had alleged
that liquor was being sold there.
The decision to return the seized
LIQUOR came after a conference be-
tween Divisional Prohibition Chief
Merrick and United States District
Attorney Hayward. Merrick said he
found that, Just as Mr.. De Fritsch
had represented the liquors We're
s.preprohibition in the strictest sense
of the word"

8 WORKERS HURT
when LOCOMOTIVE
JUMPS THE TRACK

Stoughton, Mass, Aug. 4.-Three
railroad employees were hurt late today
when the locomotive hauling train No.
1866. Boston-bound express from
Newport and New Bedford on the PROV
idence division Of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, jumped
the rails 200 feet from the Stoughton
station, crashed through a gateman's
shanty and tore through the stone wall
or the station into the waiting.
The station and platform, which had
been filled with passengers awaiting a
local train five minutes earlier, were
empty when the accident occurred, ex-
cept for two children in the station,
who made their way out through a win
dow. Two baggage cars left the rails
and blocked traffic on both inbound
and outbound tracks. All five passen-
ger cars Of the seven-car train re-
manned on the rails. No passengers
were injured, so far as railroad au-
thorities could ascertain.
The injured included Engineer Frank
L. Stucke Of Hyde Park, who suffered
an injured kneecap and a severe cash
on the head near the eye: Fireman T..
X. Brown. Mansfield, scratches and
bruises, and Gate-tender Florin Robi-
cheau. whose head was severely cut
and who suffered injuries to the abdo-
men and possibly fractured ribs. All
were removed to a Canton hospital.
The accident occurred at about 4.35
daylight saving time. The train was
due at Boston at $40 P. NJ.
Railroad officials tonight could as
Sign no cause for the derailment, which
occurred as the train was travelling at
fun speed, no stop being made at
Stoughton.
Fireman Bro wn jumped as the engine
first left the rails, his action probably
saving him from death at serious in
jury, for the locomotive turned over
on the side occupied by the fireman as
1t plunged through the wall into the
waiting room. Engineer Stucke climb
ed out through he cab door as the To-
connective lay in the station. completely
occupying the women's waiting room.
The first - ygage car turned over on
its side. fouling a freight on a siding
and blocking the tracks. The second
baggage car turned partly over and
elso was thrown across the tracks.
1t was expected that traffic would be
blocked for several hours and trains
were re-routed through Mansfield.
Five minutes before The accident oc-
Cured local train had picked up so
passengers at the Stoughton station,
clearing the waiting room and plat
form.

RUHR EVACUATION
PLAN NOT TO LIKING
GERMAN CONFEREES

London, Aug. 4-(By a. P.)-Ger-
launching the Dawes plan which the
inter-allied conference has ready to
lay before Chancellor Marx and his
colleagues at noon tomorrow, is not
expected to be directed. in the main,
against the actual agreements ar
rived at in the Downing Street con-
ference room during the last three
weeks but rather against an issue
which has been kept entirely outside
the conference.-the of military
evacuation of the Ruhr.
According to a high American au-
thority there are but two points in
the program to which the Germans
can raise even a technical objection.
One is the extension of deliveries in
kind of coke. dyes and coal beyond
the Versailles treaty date of 1880.
The other is arbitration of the uues-
ton whether financial maneuvres
are taking place in Germany to de-
feat the functioning of the Dawes
plans.
On technical grounds both of these
objections would have to be consid-
cred, according to the American en-
pert who is considered to have the
greatest knowledge of the Dawes
plan. Extension of deliveries in kind
beyond 1880 were anticipated neither
in the treaty nor in the Dawes plan.
Under the new regime. however, such
deliveries are to be paid for by the
funds of the agent general and not
by Germany as heretofore so that the
German objections could hardly be
justified, according to the American
authorities

Hocfn Hornafjord, Aug. 4 By A,

tinue to jump OF within the next
twenty four hours for their 500 mile
iaunt around the southern coast OF

harhor of Reyk iavik. The two planes
which are riding at their buoys in
side the natural hreakwater hero
were given a fun examination today
and found to he in prime condition
for continuation of the flight.
Today Licutcnants Smith and Nell
son, who were successful in making
their way through fog and rain from
the Orkney Islands to Iceland, en-
pressed sincere regret over the mis-
hap to their Comrade flicr. Lieutenant
Ligh Wade, who was forced down
Sunday by engine trouble as lie was
endeayoring to negotiate the route
across the North Atlantic from Scot
land and whose plane was wrecked as
an attempt was being made to hoist
it on board the cruiser Richmond.
During the day messages were re-
Ccived here from Wade which indi-
Gated the possibility that his plane
might be repaired so that he could
continue his flight. Later in the after
noon, however, advices received from
the Richmond indicated that the
plane was so badly damaged that It
was unlikely that it could be repaired.
Today the sky was slightly over
cast, but the sea, which on Sunday
WAS kicking up, making even small
boat navigation from the cruiser
Raleigh to the shore difficult. natten-
ed out. and this evening the indica-
tions were that the aviators would
have good weather FOR their Reyk-
