Rum Row" MAY Be Abolished.


After a delay caused by the need
to SECURE consent of the Dominion
governments treaty has been signed
between the United States and Great
Britain which grants to this country
a wider range off the coast for the
search of ships for contraband. This
has been generally and somewhat in
accurately styled the twelve-mile-limit
agreement. In-point of fact, no spe-
chic limit is placed. Under the terms
of the treaty any ship suspected of
smuggling liquor under the British
flag will be liable to search and seizure
If intercepted within an hours sailing
distance from shore, the speed of the
ship being the measure. 1t has been
estimated that this avera ges about
twelve miles, though in the case of
faster ships the zone of possible
seizure may be much broader.
In reciprocity this agreement grants
British ships the right to carry sealed
stores of ship liquors within Ameri-
can waters, for consumption on the
return voyages. The question has
been raised whether this is practicable
under the terms of recent Supreme
Court decision. But it was possible
to secure the agreement with Great
Britain only by writing it into the
treaty and taking Il chance on its
Interpretation by the court, or upon
supplementary legislation by Con
gress.
AS soon as this treaty is ratified
and there should be no delay-it will
be possible for the enforcement
agencies Of the government to pursue
to point at least four times more
distant from the shore than at present
the ships that are engaged in liquor
smuggling traffic. They now anchor
a fathom or two beyond the three
mile line and there are immune from
capture. From that point their stores
are smuggled to shore. At a greater
distance this transfer of contraband
will not be SO easy. Anchorage will
not be so readily secured. Further
more, there Will he no distinct zone,
for the area OF seizure is flexible, de-
pending, as stated upon the speed of
the ship. Any liquor bearing ship
that ventures to anchor off the coast
to await small boat transport of cargo
is in peril OF seizure.
This treaty is only with Great Brit
ain and specifically applies only to
British-registered ships. But most of
the rum runners float the British flag
flying from Bermuda or the West
Indies, or from the Dominion, or
Newfoundland.
Thus, as far as the northern ports
of the United States are concerned,
the prevention of liquor smuggling by
sea becomes much easier under this
treaty. There will remain the diff
culties in the south, where rum run
ners are facilitated by the nearness
of foreign jurisdiction and the Pc
Culiar conformation of the American
shore. But the scandalous condition
that has prevailed for many months
along the shores of New York and
New Jersey should be ended through
operations under this agreement
Rum Row" may be driven out to
sea and scattered.

sued, under which the minimum
height for applicants is sixty-five

/ Q. Why are the columns surround
ing the Lincoln Memorial irregularly
spaced?-J. H. S.
A. In the spacing Of colonnades
such as surround the Lincoln Memo
rail the outside columns are always
spaced nearer together than any of
the others, and there is usally a va
ration in all the spaces. This is
especially true of Greek Doric COL
umnS. One reason is that it gives a
more pleasing general effect and an
other reason is that the view through
columns along the side of the build
ing shows the outline of the two end
columns, which would not be the case
if spaced as wide as the central COL
umns. These columns are not verti-
cal, but lean toward the building.
The walls of the building itself are
not vertical, the outside of them lean
ing inward at a slightly smaller in
clination than the columns surround
ing them.

 It will be noticed that the attempted levy was made on May 9th, 1921 i which the court held insufficient: that | the bill Of sale to Lillian Wells WAS executed May 7th, 1921. although dat ed back to Jan. 10, 1918, and that tho 1 sheriff did not actually make a valid l levy by placing q custodian in charge until May 11th, 1921, four days after wards. The jury found that in tho meantime title had passed to Lillian Wells and that he was liable for the conversion of her property.
 What is the remedy of the sheriff? He has none. He allowed property belonging to the defendant in the at tachment suit 10 get beyond his GUS tody and control by failing to take possession or. putting a custodian in charge. He must therefore turn over to the attaching creditor the amount he realized from the sale of the Hons and if that is not sufficient to pay the debt, in addition thereto what he could have realized from the sale Of the other two lions and the cage to the extent of the balance of the debt.
 He must also pay the judgment for over s1400.00 for the conversion of the three lions. together with all costs
