By The Associated Press,
 Manila. Sept. 24.-lnstructions is- sued by the state department at Washington ordering all foreign con- suls to refused to issue bills of health to vessels carrying liquor to the Philippine Islands for beverage pur- poses were received here today. 1t was stated officially,
 The ruling of the state depart ment based on an interpretation of the eighteenth amendment by the department of justice last June was contrary to the interpretation placed upon the Volstead act In official cir- cles here. It was believed the dry law did not apply to unorganized territoryq, in which category Manila falls.
 Under the procedure plan worked out today, the superintendent of tho quarantine station here will refer all cases of violation of the law on in- coming ships to the collector of GUS toms.
 The collector of customs said last week that he would impose only the lowest fines on captains of ships who were without health clearance papers from foreign consuls because the crafts carried liquor consigned to the Philippines for beverage purposes.

 Killed His Benelactress.

Pasadena, Cal, Sept. A. -- Two different versions of the staying Of Mrs, Clifton k. Hum, former Chi- cago woman, found shot and beaten to death in her apartment here last Friday. were in the hands of the rolice today as the result Of the ar- rest last night in Los Angeles of Harry Connor, alias Harry Garbutt, ex-convict, alleged to have fled from the Hum apartment after the kill ing. Connor admitted he was in the apartment Friday night
 r. R. Gibson also was in the apartment. Connor fled, according to Gibson, after beating Mrs, Hum with hammer and shooting her through the heart.
 Connor, on the other hand. told police that he fled only because of the fear that his past record as a .convct would make it impossible to prove his innocence; that it was Gibson who attacked Mrs. Hum with a hammer and that it was he, Connor, who tried to prevent the staying.
 Mrs. Hum was shot through the heart, he explained, when the pistol he drew to intimidate Gibson was discharged during their struggle over possession of the weapon. Connor was held on suspicion of murder Police meanwhile announc- ed they would take Gibson into cus- tody for further questioning.

Buy Wives, But Cannot
 Keep Up Their Payments

London, Sept. 24.-Many natives of Pondoland, South Africa, are likely to lose wives purchased on ex- tended credit during the last three years, because they claim to be un- able to complete their payments.
 The purchase of wives on credit is not usually allowed among the natives, as there is too much in clination to return the wives in lieu of the purchase price, but a mat rlmonial moratorium has been in effect during the period of mourn ing for the death of a paramount chief. This period is now over and natives who obtained wives on credit must pay up or return the women to their parental kraals.
 A mysterious shortage is reported in cattle and horses, with which pay mcnts are usually made.

Carmi, H.. Sept. 24.-The photo- graph of a girl found on the mantle of the home of the Rev. Lawrence P. flight, confessed poisoner Of his wife, at Ina, and which the pastor said he did not remember, was iden- tifed by George Elliott, a farmer, near here. as a likeness of his daughter Grace. She died two years ago, he said. The picture had been published in newspapers.
 MT. flight was d great friend of our family and Grace played the organ in his church," he said. "He visited us a number of times and was ther6 during the illness of our daughter"
 MT. Elliott said that the picture was taken by his wife at the re- quest of the Rev. flight and that the pastor took the film to be developed, but never had given the family any of the pictures.
 T can't understand why he should say that he did not remem- Der her name," he repeated.

DRY LAW AFFECTS
 THE PHILIPPINES
IIlesal to Ship Liquors to
 These Islands >

Washington. Sept. 24.-The eigh- teenth amendment has stretched out Its forbidding hands to the Philip pine Islands. Under a legal decision holding shipment to the islands of liquor for beverage purposes to be contrary to the amendment, the state department has instructed all United States consular officers to decline to clear vessels with such destination and cargo.
 Disclosure that such orders had been issued last June was made by the department yesterday on receipt of dispatches from Manila indicating q belief on the part of Governor General Wood that the Philippines were exempted by the Volstead act, which a department of justice deci- sion had held to be not the case. The dispatches reported that General Wood had requested that the Amer ican consul at Hong Kong, China, be instructed to issue bills to health to vessels sailing from that port for the Philippines with liquor cargoes, in- dicating he believed the consul was refusing clearance because of mis- understanding of the law.
 While the legal opinion held that provisions of the amendment. ap- plying to all states. territories and possessions, prohibiting liquor im- portations must be observed In the Philippines, it was explained at the department of justice that no at- tempt had been made to set up en- forcement machinery in the islands under the Volstead act. The decision on which the state departments ac- tion was taken was embodied in a letter to the department from Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the as- sistant attorney general in charge Of prosecuting.
 It was thought at the department of justice that any misunderstanding on the part of General Wood, result ing from possible confusion of the constitutional amendment with the Volstead act, probably could be cleared up in his exchanges with the

SEPARATE CELLS
 FOR PRISONERS
Rev. |. M. Flight and His AHin-
 fly Await Court Action

Mount Vernon, Ill,. Sept, 24,-The Rev Lawrence NJ. flight and Mrs. Elsie Sweetin, who have confessed that their mutual iniatuation prompted the poisoning of the min ister's wife iand the woman's hus- band, today were held in separate Jails. Mrs. Sweetin was transferred yesterday to Salem. H., prison be- cause the local jail had no quarters for women. Fear of violence caused the removal of the Rev. Mr. flight 10 Nashville.
 The minister confessed Monday, implicated himself in the Sweetin case and assuming responsibility for his wife's death. Mrs. Sweetin made a statement yesterday that she ad- ministered poison to her husband al the instigation of the clergyman.
 It was reported from Nashville that Rev. flight was taking his fate with q smile and joked with the guards.
 According to reports from Salem, Mrs. SWeetin was near collapse. The strain of an all night eXamina- ton which preceded her confession, coupled with the worry over her three small children, had nearly spent her physical strength She sobbed audibIy at the mentioning of the three children and it was said that she had, decided to place them in q Masonic orphanage. Attendants at the jail said she had ihtimated she might supplement the confession. She also expressed 8 desire to engage an attorney, she said.
 In the meantime States Attorney Thompson continued his prepara- tions to submit the case to the grand jury.
 He denied a report that he would ask for life sentence for the couple.
 Mrs. Swectin was arraigned be, fore a justice of the peace yester. day but waived preliminary hear. ing. The clergyman also declined a preliminary hearing.
 What action the Southern Hi. nois Methodist Episcopal conference would take against the minister stil was a matter of conjuncture. Bishop Leete, of Indianapolis, in an address 10 the conference at Carbondale yes terday, said he would have the mat ter investigated but not until the courts had decided the case.

l,2OO STUDENTSIN
 NEW BROWN CLASS
Providence School RtOpenS for
 l6tSt Year

Providence, R. l., Sept. 24- Brown university began its 16lst year to- day with 8 total enrolment of 1900 students, the limit set by the college authorities, and a freshman class of 400 members selected by mental and physical tests from more than 500 applicants.
 In his opening address tS the stu lent body President w. Fl. |. Faunce who began today his twenty-tifth year as head of the university, de- clared that the past summer has been the most encouraging summer he world has had since 1914"
 The shattered civilization of the twentieth century has been coming together once again and the nations, for ten years driven asunder by fu- tile fears and l.ates are at last reaching out hands of friendship and concord" he said. Among outstand- ing events of the year he cited the Olympic games, which brought to Paris the athletes of forty nations, the army world flight and "the ap- parent settlement of the problem of German reparations, settlement due to American initiative and sa- eaCity."
 Tt is the task of the young men of the world to usher in the new era or which the weary nations are longing" President Faunce said, "it is yours to rally round the ideal and attempt the impossible. The old mems memories are too long and their prejudices too deep-seated' They can never escape from the bondage of fear; they are doomed 10 approve the better and follow the orse."
 After sketching the Surprising material progress" at Brown this summer, Dr. Faunce spoke Of the four new athletic fields which are to be opened in 1925 and added:
 "The object of the fields is not to develop a few picked athletes who can win in every game, but to en- able us to give every student in the university physical preparedness for life. Our new fields are the reaIiza- tIon of our motto: "A game for every man and every man in the game

Hoover Discards Sleuths
 Of Sherlock Holmes Type
William ]. Burns Successor In Justice Depart fhent Selects Investigators With Legal Training

other than that obtained in the service, Hoover said, discussing his work.
 This does not necessarily mean men who have had college education, but men who are well enough acquainted with the law and who have judgment so trained that they can weigh evidence. Agents ought to be men who know the rights of the individual citizen, under the law, and how far their jurisdiction extends as agents of the government"
 "The principal qualifications of an agent" Hoover continued, "are honesty, loyalty and common sense. l would prefer an honest, plain man to bril- liant man who has no conception of ethics"
 Hoover insists on legal knowledge He says it is necessary in working up a case which must be presented to the courts. Often, evidence that has been gathered has been found useless be cause the investigator was not suffi ciently acquainted with the law.
 Cites Bureaus Functions
 "This bureau is the fact-finding bu reau for the department of justice, and its agents must know how to gather facts and evidence that is admissible, he said.
 Seven years ago, Hoover was legal clerk in theb ureau, entering the serv' ice fresh from college here, with two degrees in law. Two years later he was made chief of the general intelli gence division. The only other job ht had held was as a clerk in the Congress sional library, while he was attending college,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The age of the old-fashiOned sleuth, Sherlock Holmes style, somehow personified in William J. Burns, has passed in the government service with the coming of J. Edgar Hoover, the young man who has stepped into Burns shoes as head of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice.
 Hoover is just 30 years of age. Physically, he is a boyish contrast to his stocky, -proportioned predeces- sor. Hoover is slight in build, just above medium height and looks much like an active young bond salesman. He has keen flashing brown eyes, sharply defined features, and is as little like the traditional detective in appear ance as is possible. He dispatches his business with vigorous air from be. hind his broad mahogany desk in Burns old office. :.
 Burns was always "the detective Hoover is primarily a lawyer, but also a trained investigator, with many big cases to his credit. In keeping with hls training and his philosophy of the pro- fession, Hoover has instituted new order of things in the bureau of inves- tigation, and emphasis is put on legal training for the investigator, instead of ability to shift false whiskers, creep down silent railways with cat-like tread, and listen at keyholes.
