LONDON. January 4.-Feminist
leaders In Great Britain are dis
gruntled by the fact that their
sex received no recognition in the
new years honor list. and SO Miss
Florence Underwood. secretary of
the Women's Freedom League, has
written Prime Minister Baldwin
to give him piece of the organi-
cations mind on the subject.
The league, her letter says, was
keenly disappointed because, al
though a large number of men
were awarded peerages, baron
etcies, knighthood and various
decorations, not a single woman
or Britain appeared on the list,
while only two were awarded
decorations for service in India.
I'VE think that many women of
this country are as fully deserv-
ing of recognition of their serv-
ices as some Of the men In the

REGISTRY QUESTIONED.
q. S. Investigates Tomoka Case
Boat Long Sought.

Ofcials here have had some doubt
whether the British registry of the
rum runner Tomoka was bona fide,
vestigation into the subject, with re-
suits that they are not yet ready to
reveal. t-.
The Tomoka had been wanted for
weeks before she was taken into Gus
tody by revenue cutters, and Treas
ury officials believe there Is ample
evidence that she was violating the
American prohibition laws. Whether
that fact justified her seizure at q
time when she was outside the three
mile limit, however,, Is question
which the courts eventually may have
TO decide.
Should the vessel prove to have
been operating under fake registry.
the view here is that her capture
would fall In tho same category as
that Of the schooner Henry L. Mar
shall, also seized outside the terri
torial waters of the United States.
The British government, when all the
facts became known. dropped its OBJ
5ections to the action taken against
the Marshall by the Washington gov.
eminent.
State and Justice Department Of
fetal declined to comment in any way
on the British request for release OF
the Tomoka- The communication is
understood to hold that the ship was
owned by shipping concern in Nova
Scotia and properly registered at
Nassau, Bahamas.
The State Department Is known,
however. to have a copy of the bill
Of sale Of the ship, showing that the
board OF directors of the company Is
composed of clerks working in a ship
chambers office at Nova Scotia. Other
papers in the department's possession.
Il is said. tend to prove also that
William S. Mccoy, an American, cap
tured aboard the Tomoka, is a heavy
investor in the ship. IL not its actual
owner.
Some legal authorities examining
the case believe 1t an absolute paral-
lel to that growing out of seizure by
american ships, Genesse, Hooking and
Kankakee. These three vesses were
operated by the American Trans
Atlantic Company and were engaged
when seized in Carrying food ship
ments from the United States to
scandinavian countries. Their case
was placed before British prize courts,
where 1t was charged that although
the ships nominaliy were American
were financing their organization,
At the Department of Justice the
British request appears to be re-
garded as merely such a move as
any government would make when its
nationals were involved in such a
controversy" Treasury officials alss
seem confident ample basis for the
seizure is shown in reports Of Gus
TOM and prohibition enforcement

London Officials Oppose Liquor
Smuggling, But Believe Mari

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 4.-Great Britain
has asked the United States for the re-
lease from bail Of the British and
Canadian members Of the crew Of the
British schooner Tomoka, alleged rum
runner seized last November beyond
the three mile limit OF New York.
The request for the release of the
crew is being made through Henry G..
Chiffon. the charge d'affaires in Wash
ington, at the instance Of the Canadian
government.
Further information also is being
sought by the British government re-
specting the circumstances attending
the seizure of the Tomoka beyond the
three-mile limit.
Investigation by the British authori-
ties, it Is stated, showed the Tomoka
to be of Canadian ownership and seized
well outside the three-mile limit.
While British officials here are en-
tirely out of sympathy with liquor
smuggling, they feel they have no alter
native but to protect the rights Of Brit
ish-owned vessels outside the tradi-
tional three e-mile radius, which they say
must remain the law until the new
treaty extending the limit to an hours
steaming distance from the shore be-
comes effective.

IN kenny MURDER
Falls Church Man Possible
Victim of Enemies in
Rum Traffic.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FALLS CHURCH. Va. January A.
Fairfax county authorities now are
working on the theory that Daniel
Kenny, who was found Monday In a
woods near Paynes Corners with a
gunshot wound In his head and sew
enteen stab wounds in his body. may
have been murdered by moonshiners
and bootleggers. Their theory Is that
a combination of revenge and precau-
tion may have constituted the motive
for the crime One alleged Illicit
distiller recently was arrested upon
information said to have been fur
nished by Kenny, and there Is report
ed to have been bitter fued between
the murdered man and others en-
gagged in the rum traffic.
Coronerss Jury Verdict.
After two days devoted to hearing
testimony, the coroner's jury last
evening returned verdict that Ken
ny came to his death at the hands of
parties unknown. The body. which
had been held at a local undertaking
establishment, was buried today at
Oaklawn cemetery.
That Kenny was the victim of
moonshiners and bootleggers IL one
Of several theories which will be fol-
lowed up by county authorities under
direction of the commonwealth's at
torney. Robbery and jealousy are
two other possible motives which will
be Investigated. Thomas Marocker,
father-in-law OF the slain man. testi-
fed at the inquest that Kenny had
500 last Monday morning. Only So
was found. The possibility that jeai-
ousy figured in the crime lies in a re-
ported quarrel between Kenny and
another man on account of attentions
to Kenny's wife, from whom he was
separated.
Employs Two Attorneys.
Marocker. who served a Jail SEN
tence for having stabbed Kenny q
year ago, had two attorneys to rep
resent him at the inquest yesterday,
and upon their advice he refused to
answer most of the questions put to
him. The attorneys were said to have
been retained by two men whose
names figured in the hearing as enc
mics OF Kenny.
Medical testimony was to the effect
that the stab wounds in Kenny's
body had been inflicted from behind.
as IL some one had held him and
reached over his shoulder with the
knife It also was testified that the
shot which inflicted wound in the
back of his head had been hred from
a distance Of not more than ten feet.
A small dog belonging to Kenny
was responsible for finding of the
body, leading a hunter to the spot.
But the animal showed fight when
any ono attempted to touch the body,
and for some time kept a deputy
sheriff and others at bay.
