Woodsville, N. H., Dec. 20.-(AP)-
Mrs. Hilda Stone, to whom the bor-
der liquor patrol has given the name
of Queen of the Bootleggers," has
won another skirmish with the law.
She walked free today after her
fourth arrest in as many months,
but the prohibition enforcement Of
ficers of northern New Hampshire
retained as souvenir of the encounter
an automobile with skilfully devised
compartments for carrying liquor.
Not so much as spoonful of bever-
age was found in the car as evil
dence.
Mrs. Stone, who is on $1,000 bail
for appearance at Newport, VT, on
a smuggling charge, was arrested
Thursday at Lyme by Sheriff Walter

dence, r. l., was driving her car. AL
though it had a New Hampshire lie
ense plate, McKernon produced a

and they were taken to Hanover
where a fine was imposed. Search
of the automobile disclosed secret
compartments.
The woman told the police she had
been on her way to Franconia with
spare parts for an automobile which
she had disabled. In a Franconia
Notch garage last night a car was
found in a battered condition. New
York, Tennessee, Rhode Island and
New Hampshire license plates were
found in it. Because no liquor was

were released.

that Mrs. Stone is one of the chief
lieutenants of a rum running gang
which has it's Massachusetts head

at Colerain, Mass. She was arrested
in northern Vermont last August
with Henry Murdoch Of Holyoke,

bottles of liquor. A fine of $500 was
imposed. On November 20 the bor-
der patrol captured her again with

rather fun" to be pursued by GUS

Washington, Dec. 20.-(AP)-The
riot of words over prohibition con-
tinued undated today, with new
ramifications adding fury to the con-
troversy and fresh indictments in
prospect.
The Sunday developments includ-
ed disclosure that file of govern
ment records in the Mayflower Ho-
tel liquor case had been stolen from
prohibition headquarters, and an an
nouncement by dry leaders that
counter moves will be made against
the new onslaught by the vets. The
drys are preparing TO counter the
wet Undertaking." moves with efforts
to amend the Volstead act to tighten
further its provisions respecting
search of private homes.
AS a consequence of the drive
loosed against prohibition by Rep
resentative Gallivan in the House
yesterday and the recent liquor in
dictments in Ohio, Wayne b. Wheel
er, general counsel for the Anti
Saloon League, and Representative
Berger, of Wisconsin, each issued
statements on the general subject of
liquor enforcement.
Mr.. Wheeler struck back at the
Massachusetts member, who had
denounced him the day before, and
Mr.. Berger, who favorS legaliZation
of beer and wine, charged that the
drys, by their efforts to enforce the
Volstead act were creating a series
of evils greater than the one they
intended to remove"
AS to the government records
which were stolen officials would
say little. Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes admitted they had been
stolen few days prior to the trial
here of Jules r. Venice. former chef
at the Hotel Mayfiower, and Rinardo
Blazi. waiter. both of whom were
acquitted of conspiracy charges, a
few days ago. Assistant Secretary
Andrews, the prohibition field mar
shslAfoF the treasury, had not been
informed of the incident.
Mr.. Wheeler, however, was ac-
quainted with the disappearance of
the records. and in his statement re-
plying to Mr.. Gallivan, inquired why
ii should not attra t the attention of
the House members. whose speech
yesterday was regarded generally as
one of the most vigorous assaults
against prohibition that has been
delivered in some months.

Foul Play Theory
In Death of Woman
In LeOminster Lake

Leominster. Mass. Dec. 20-(AP)
An autopsy performed today upon
the body of Miss Lena Leblanc which
was found yesterday in Leominster
Park Lake revealed that there was
not enough water in the lungs to
cause death. This discovery led the
police to change the Suicide theory
advanced yesterday and after CONSUL
tation with District Attorney Emer-
son w. Baker an investigation was
begun.
The autopsy was permitted at the
insistence of the girls father, John
II. Leblanc, who declared that he
knew of no reason why his daughter
would take her life and that if ne
cessary he would stand the expense.
Medical Examiner Dwight S.
Woodwork consulted with the dis
trict attorney when he had complet-
ed his examination of the girls body
and it was then decided to send the
stomach and other organs to DR.. w.
F. Boos, a Boston bacteriologist, to
determin if death was accused by poi
son.
When District Attorney Baker
learned that there was doubt as to
the cause of death, he announced
that the county, would bear the eX-
pense of the autopsy and other fea-
lures of the investigation.

Washington, Dec. 20.-(AP)-Col-
onel William Mitchell his army
courtmartial concluded, is under
summons to face another military
court tomorrow, the naval court of
inquiry into the Shenandoah disaster.
which desires to obtain from him any
light he can throw upon the Incl.
dent.
Colonel Mitchell has accepted the
summons to appear before the court
which is converting after a recess of
nearly four weeks to hear him but
whether he will agree to testify was
a question which went unanswered
tonight.
Once before, on October 8, he APP
peared before the Shenandoah court
under summons but declined to testi-
~. upon advice Of his counsel, on
the ground that it would be incon-
sistent with his legal rights. and
might prejudice his case in the
courtmartial proceedings then pend
ing.
His refusal to testify at that time
was duly reported by the navy court
through Secretary Wilbur to the war
department, but if he should reiter-
ate tomorrow his refusal to testify,
the court, through its judge advocate,
Major Henry Leonard. is expected to
certify him to the district attorney
for act in contempt.
Colonel Mitchell has been summon
ed to appear at the instance of Major
Leonard, who desires to inquire into
his published and reiterated charges
that the navy was guilty of criminal
negligence in connection with the
Shenandoah, that he understood that
the ship was about so percent over
weight that it carried an anti-freez-
ing mixture which had a corrosive
effect on its framework and that the
navy court appointing to inquire in
to the disaster was a whitewash
