2 TENNESSEANS KILLED IN FIGHT
 WITHDRY SQUAD
100 Rifle Shots Are Ex- changed In MOOnshine
 Battle In Hills
(By Associated Press.)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. B. Fillmore Sexton and Lee West, alleged moonshiners of Scott county, were slain and a third man, Howard Grif- fifth, severely wounded, in battle with prohibition enforcement officers, according to reports brought here to- day by members of the raiding crew. The battle occurred late Thursday one mile from Huntsville, Tenn.
 Members of the prohibition squad coming into Konxville today gave a thrilling account of the battle high up in Scott county hills. High powered rifles were used on both sides, eight alleged moonshiners being pitted against IA enforcement officials headed by Deputy Marshal R. A. Smith of Clin- ton, Tenn. ,and John Irwin, prohibit tion officer of LaFollette.
 The battle was precipated when the raiders approached Sexton's home bear ing a warrant for his arrest. As they reached the fence surrounding the dwell- ing, according to Irwin's statement, several men stepped from the house and opened fire upon them with rifles. The squad fell back and returned to Huntsville where rifles were obtained and then went back to find the men at Sextons home barricaded in the yard. More than 100 shots were ex- changed in the ensuing fight which terminated, Irwin said, when Sexton fell with bullet wound through the head.
 When the raiders advanced to the barricade they found Sexton, power full man, cold in death with his wife and five children huddled about him. Smith said that Mrs. Sexton had ap- parently stood at her husbands side during the fight and loaded his rifles for him. Other members of the band had fled the scene with the exception of Griffiths. who had been shot through the arm, and West, who died a short time ater the fight from. four bullet wounds through the body.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-A sensational outbust of strength in railroad stocks, the general price average of which touched the highest point in seven years, was the overshadowing develop nent in this weeks financial market. m enormous demand for sterling ex- change which scared above $4.60 to the highest price in more than year. Dutch, Swedish and Swedish currencies also attained new peak prices, while the new German reichsmarks, traded in the first time, sold at a slight premium
 Practically all the active rails broke through their previous high levels of the year, many of them attaining the highest prices in history, with net gains on the week. running from two 70 ten points.
 The almost unprecedented demand for rails was generally construed as being due to the belief that the outcome of the national election assures the railroads of a few years freedom from adverse legislation, enabling them to carry out important construction and development projects. Industrials were held in check by heavy profit taking, although United States Steel common, American Can and serveral other stand Grd shares held at the highest price in years. C

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Catherine Countess Karolyi of Hungary, told an audience in town hall tonight that the charge that she was bolshevist, pre- ferred against her by s. Stanwood Men. ken, president of the American Secur. ity league, was based on the fact that her husband had opposed the World war, that he had written against the German alliance and that he had de posed the Hapsburg dynasty.
 Her address was phrased as an an. swear to Mir. Menken's charges, pre- ferred with the United States immigra' tion officials recently when the coun. tess arrived here from Europe. For a time, the countess was held at Ellis Island, but soon was permitted to land when number of prominent Ameri- cans, men and women, came to her de fense.
 Exiles From Hungary
 She and her husband. Count Michael Karolyi, president of the former Aus, trian republic. were exiles from Hun gary, the countess said, because of theiI activities in behalf of the great mass of their fellow countrymen as against
 the former nobility of their land. Referring to MT. Menken's charge
 that she was actively engaged in com munistic work, Countess Karolyi de clared that her only "communistic' act had occurred after the overthrow oi
 the Hapsburgs, when she was president
 of the Hungarian Red Cross.

ger in critical situation, without af- tording any security at all.
 On this consideration the social demo- crats brought forward in 1922 a dis armament proposal identical with that prepared to submit to rigsdagen in this month, now that the social democrats have taken over the government.
 Denmark is a member of the League of Nations, but the league does not im- pose on it's members an obligation to keep up a military defense. It lets its members decide the manner in which they desire to preserve their neutrality.
 The only obligation imposed by the league in this respect is contained in section 16, which is to the effect that in case a member of the league might vio- late it's obligations and proceed to war, contrary to the provisions of the pact, the other members of the league bind themselves to break off any commercial and financial connection with such coun- try"
 Without violating our obligations we might, therefore, entirely do away with all kinds of military arrangements, if we arranged to effectively guard our bound aries and coasts so that no importation or exportation of any kind should take place to or from boycotted country.
 Would End COnscriptiOn
 It is this we are aiming at when we propose the establishment of an extra ordinary boundary and coast guard, which should be prepared to assume its functions when the situation might re- quire it.
 The disarmament proposal provides that compulsory military service be en- joined by statute; the conscrlptlon serv- ice, the army and navy and the ministry for war would cease to exist. All for tifications would be disarmed and de- molished. The material, buildings ana areas of land hitherto used and occupleo by the army and navy would be used for other public purposes or be sold. me factories, workshops, laboratorles ana the like belonging to the army and navy would be used for civil purposes under the supervision of the state.
 Private corps trained or organized for military purposes must not be established those in existence must disband in three months, their arms be- ing taken over by the state. Rifles clubs would be permitted target practice but not military training. The manufacture and sale of firearms and ammunition would be controlled and regulated by the state
 The boundary and coast guard to re- place the army would comprise 1000 men, fitted out as police constables some what like the present frontier gen. darmes. The frontier gendarmes now form civil corps under the minister of finance, their task being customs and police supervision of the frontier be- tween Denmark and Germany. This task would in all essentials be trans ferred to the new corps. The corps would be filled by voluntary enlistment and by calling up 500 men annually for

 When Harry K. Thaw was cracking pistol around the white light section of New York the hours after midnight were the particular play times of all who professed to be anything at all in the way of a cabaret busting young man about town.
 Now the doors to night clubs are guarded: One must pass inspection be- fore entering and there is always the chance that disguised agent of the government will sneak in and shout shame on everybody for drinking that awful liquor.
 Waiter Gets Pinched
 When things like that occur the night crowds are properly indignant, but do they throw the snooper out? They do not. They even let him arrest the waiter who has just favored them with a mixture containing "the real thing ' dash of ether and some burnt sugar, at $1 or more drink, l
 Along Broadway itself after midnight congregate groups of shiny young men whose trousers sweep the floor like their grandmother skirts did forty years ago. They wear kollege-kut clothes exclusively and they know the cops. They are cosmopolitan young men in every sense of the word, being familiar with such foreign capitals as the Lower East Side, the Pronx and Newark, N. J. &4a
