SMOKE SCREEN USE
PENALTY |SF|XED
Police Regulations Amended
to Provide for $500 Fine
for Offenders.

The Commissioners today dealt a
blow at the use of smoke screens by
bootleggers to throw pursuing officers
off the trail They added an amend
ment to the police regulations as
follows:
Amy person causing the emission
OF smoke or gas of any character
from vehicle of any description for
the purpose of or in such manner as
to hinder or harass officers of the law
in the performance of their duty
shall be liable to fine not exceeding
$500"
Up to this time there has been
on the books an old regulation which
was intended to prevent the ordinary
discharge of smoke incident to the
operation of the automobile motor
The penalty for violation of that sec
ton is only $40 and had little effect
in deterring rum runners from using
smoke as weapon against the
police.
On several occasions recently men,
bers of the motorcycle force patrol
ling suburban roads have been
thwarted in their efforts to overtake
cars suspected of carrying liquor by
being enveloped in clouds of smoke
emanating from the exhausts of the
fleeing machines.

OF LIQUOR TRUCKS
Baltimore Has ''Parade Day"
When Transfer of 1857
Barrels of Whisky Begins.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, Nd, August l.
Streets were lined with people today
watching for the caravan of trucks
with liquor, 10,517 barrels of which.
valued at $21,oo0,000, is being re-
moved from Gwynnbrook warehouse,
near the city, to the Concentration
warehouse on Guilford avenue here.
1t is like a circus parade. The trucks
are guarded by United States agents
and special detectives heavily armed.
Removing the liquor will require
several weeks perhaps and cost
$4,000. At a hearing before United
States Judge Soper yesterday an or
der restraining the district attorney
and collector of internal revenue from
removing the liquor was denied the
Gwynnbrook Distilling Company. The
owners sought to have the liquor
stored in the government warehouses
in Philadelphia rather than in Balti-
more, because of lower rates charged.
The government agreed to charge
the same rates in Baltimore as in
Philadelphia.

GRAZ, Austria, August Baron
ess Alice Konrad Won Kohradsheim
was sentenced to six months in Jail
today after conviction on a charge of
stealing and selling pearls belonging
to two of her friends in the former
Austrian aristocracy. The testimony
showed that she broke strings IF
pearls worn by the plaintiffs and
purloined a considerable number of
them while they were being picked
from the floor.
The plea of kleptomania entered in
her behalf failed to impress the court,
although the defense proved that she
owned palace here and several
houses in Vienna Medical evidence
also was introduced to show that the
baroness had an intense passion for
pearls, which was said to be the
symptom of one form of mental de-
rangement.
The baroness collapsed when she
heard the sentence and was carried

White House authorities, however,
state that the President will not take

thoroughly launched. He will then,
and not until then, give attention to
these and several other important fed
eral appointments.

1t is thought that the President will
reappoint Miss Sellers to the Juvenile
Court inasmuch as he has received
any number of communications in
court. This is the opinion of persons
associated with the President. They
do not feel as hopeful, though, re-
garding the case of Judge Mcmahon.

This opinion regarding possibilities

During the past week more than one

On the other hand, it is known that
there have been protests, not because

have conducted his court and his at

Decision Is Delayed
Although this political question had
been scheduled for early discussion
by the council in its annual session
opening today. the absence of Mat
'hew Vol, a vice president, who is
'eEnt ctedN this afternoon, caused the
council to relegate politics on the

merely an expression of approval of
Fthe platform and candidates. of the
conference for Progressive Political
action, or it may do as Mr.. Gompers
declares it will do-refrain from stat
ing preference for any of the presi-
Dental tickets.
Mr. Gompers made it plain that he
wants the vast group of organized
workers which he dominates to adj
here to the hands-off policy.
His attitude toward the question is
that the American Federation of
Labor should pin its hopes on being
partisan to principles and not to no.

paign of 1924 he would pursue the

unfavorable weather conditions may

Fog Limits Visibility.
Early morning reports from the
destroyer Reid, patrolling between
the Farce Islands and Iceland, and
from the cruiser Raleigh, at Hoefn
Hornafjord, warned of continued un-
favorable fog, with visibility of
only two miles. Later messages in
dicated that the visibility had DROP

Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith was reluc-
tant to abandon the idea of starting
on the second Atlantic lap today, but
was forced to do SO by the danger of
facing such unfavorable conditions.
He was distinctly disturbed to learn
from detailed observations made on
board the Reid that the fog could not
be expected to be dispelled without a
strong wind for at least day or two.
Observers on the Reid reported the
fog was of enormous expanse, was
moving slowly and appeared to be
centered about the patrol boat.

Fishing trawlers reaching Kirkwall

they had encountered fog north of
the islands, an unusual situation for
this season. They said the mist was

liable to lift.
