ALLEGED LEADER
 OF SMUGGLERS DENIES CHARGE
'Medianski,' New York Jeweler, Admits Acting
 As Expert For Mors
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Arthur Me dianski, wholesale jeweler, appeared be- fore federal authorities today with the announcement that he was the "Me- diankski' described by the treasury de- partment at Washington yesterday as the ring leader in a huge smuggling venture which involved Mrs. Theresa Mors, whom Kid Mccoy is charged with having murdered at Los Angeles.
 The Washington report was that Me dianski was in flight to foreign lands to escape prosecution. The jeweler, through Myron Sulzeberger, his attor- ney, declared he had no intention of leaving the United States.
 Served As Expert
 His connection with the case, he said, was that of an expert on gems. and antiques. Because he had served as purchasing advisor to the late Mrs. Mors and her husband, Albert, in Vii enna five years ago, he said, he was called as a witness to identify valu- able imports government operatives dis covered among Mrs. Mors' effects after her death.
 q met Mors and his wife in Vienna in 1919," the jeweler said. "Mors showed me a letter of credit for $100,- 900 and retained me, on commission basis, to help him purchase tapestries, rugs, paintings and other works of art for his store on Fifth avenue, New York.
 "He also asked me to keep an eye out for. any valuable pieces of jewelry that would make nice gifts for his wife. Mors purchased thousands of dol lars worth of merchandise and to my knowledge it was shipped by Ameri- can express through the United States customs. He also obtained many good gems.
 Served As Witness
 1.-Two special customs agents from New York came to me after Mrs. Mors was murdered, told me they had brought from California certain merchandise that had been smuggled into America after being purchased in Vienna through me, and asked me to identify the pieces. I did so as far as was able, serving, as a voluntary witness" :" Although the treasury department reported having seized and identified smuggled jewellery valued at $250 900, Medianski declared that Mors had used in Vienna only half of his $10000O let | ter of credit.

the law, so that the irritation and re- sentiment held against the United States by the Japanese may not be increased, were adopted at the closing session to- day of the ninth annual meeting of the American council of the world alliance for international friendship through the churches.
 Other resolutions. were approved ad- yocating entrance of the United States into the world court of international justice, a thorough and sympathetic study of the Geneva protocol, creation of a federal commission for the promo tion of world peace and participation of the United States in disarmament con- ference, if it is called in Geneva, or to invite the other nations here for such a purpose, if it is not.
 In a formal. statement unanimously approved by the convention the all iance expresses the conviction that Gag gressive war is colossal sin to be re. lentlessly condemned and eradicated from our common lobby" and its belief that ''the supreme task of the church is to organize the world on a Christian basis"

Barge Tonnage Mounts

The imported manganese ore, to be used in furnaces of the Tennessee com pany, now en route to the port of Bir- mingham, added to the tonnages already routed by way of the barges, is expected to provide record tonnages for that line during the present month. It is stated that the importation of manganese dur ing November will be unusually large and other shipments in proportion are coming to Birmingham by the river route.
 The freight tonnage on the Warrior is growing every month and if the new rates and plans of General Ashburn, as announced here some weeks ago, are placed into effect, the necessity for other barges will be pressing. It is under stood that the steel barges owned by the Tennessee company now in service, have relieved the situation considerably but the traffic increases will make neces- sary further equipment.

kindly deeds had made his kindly
face. His every act, thought or deed,
was for someone else. Yet, "this man
of God" sat with his head on his hand,
deep in thought In these last few
moments he had lived over ten years
or more; had seen twelve little girls
grow to womanhood.
Mr.. Baxter had taken class from
the beginners department. Every Sun
day these twelve little girls had been
delight as they sat listening with
eager, attentive faces to the wonder
fully interesting things they were told.
All too soon came graduation from
grammar school. The lessons had to
go little deeper for the high school
students. The teacher was fully equal
to the task. Finally college took its
toll, until only three of his flock re-
manned, and those few left in the fall
to start their college career.
Mrs. Baxter came in, interrupting
his reverie. Ellen" he began, 81

right now. The girls are planning a
class reunion while they are home for
the Christmas holidays. They want to
know if they can't count on their
teacher for one of those humdinger
lessons-like they used to have before
we were scattered TO the four Winds"
"B. B." surprised, dazed and happy
all in the same breath, just chuckied
the way he always did when some
thing pleased him unusually. "You
surely can count on me-" was all ha
could say
His first lieutenant came closer,
pretending TO whisper, "Now, don't let
your wife know about this" and she
slipped box into his hand-''here is
something to sneak upstairs with you.
Merry Christmasp'
"B. B." stood dumfounded, alternate
ly shaking, turning, rafting, smelling
and fondling the box; he took it up
stairs. He dropped into chair. This
was the first time any of his girls had
remembered him on Christmas.
Unwrapping the tissue paper. the
box disclosed a leather bill-fold with
a hand-tooled design. Ellen he
shouted in his happiness "See what
my first lieutenant made with her
own hands for me. The card says:

girls, and the attitude they may take.

too strongly by me-"
"B. B., you are in a bad frame of
mind tonight" interposed Mrs. Bax-
ter, sitting down on the arm of his
chair, patting his head. Don't you
know that most people are too busy
tonight getting ready for the Christ
mas festivities to be incoming over
past history? You know we have to
get the box ready"

The doorbell rang vigorously, three
times. "B. B." fastened to the door.
