COLONEL ACCUSED
 AS VERY INPOLITE
Sli9hted Haitian President-
 Court Martial Ordered

New York July 14 Pl-A Lieu tenant colonel of the army today faces a court martial because of de- lay in according the presidential salute of 21 guns to President Louis Borno, the negro president of Haytf, when that official entered the port of New York on his recent visit. The salute was not fired until the ship had reached her dock
 President Borno on his return to Hayti said he was sure the delay was not intentional Washington explained that the delay in accord ing the honor was due to a misun- derstanding. It was thought the in- cident was closed.
 The defendant Is Lieutenant Col onel James Thornton Watson of California and the charge is that he failed to fire the salute from Fort Jay at the proper time.
 Attention was brought to the tar diness at the time and it was observ- ed that when President Borno de- parted from the country the salute was fired at the exact moment, with a brigadier general, two colonels five captains and five lieutenants lined up on Castle William in full rcgalia.
 It became known yesterday that complaint had been made against Colonel Watson and that he would be brought before a military court today with Brigadier General Hugh Drum presiding.
 The complaint was made by Col onel Stanley H. Ford. who is regu- l9rly in charge Of Fort Jay. He was the graduation exercises at West Point at the time of President Borno's arrival and Colonel Watson in charge. The court martial was ordered by Major General Charles P. Summerall, commanding officer of the second corps area.

BIG GUNS OF RUM
 RUNNING MARKED
Andrews tO Direct Activities
 Against Master Operators

London, July 14 [p - Brigadier- General Lincoln c. Andrews, chief of the United States prohibition en- forcement service, is after the mas ter" rum runners. He arrived in London last night as head of mis- sion 10 negotiate with Great Britain for an agreement which would be an important step toward forcing these illicit traders off the seas.
 "America's prohibition czar," as General Andrews is styled by the London papers, declared the proht- bition fleet is fast driving the small CT liquor smugglers to cover and in timated the principal warfare now would be directed against the mas ter" or big business interests of the rum trade.
 The mission, which in addition to General Andrews, includes other treasury officials, and representa- tives of the state department, brought with it documentary eX- hibits which are expected 10 go far toward inducing the British govern- ment 10 sign a liquor smuggling agreement a with the United States.
 IL is hoped to so tighten the strings on this side of the ocean, that rum running will lose much of it's inducement and the master smuEglers will gradually he obliged to seek other means of existence.
 The mission plans 10 exchange in formation with the British govern ment on liquor smuggling activities and evolve some system whereby United States rum chasers could more easily keep tab on satlings of liquor ships from British ports.
 Quoting an interview he had re- gently with one of the master" snugglers. General Andrews said this illicit trader admitted the gov ernment prohibition fleet was driv- ing the smaller rum runners out of business, but contended this merely served to benefit the greater boot logging interests.
 The tables will be turned on these more important smugglers, however, General Andrews predicted,8o in- tense activities are 10 be directed against them and if an agreement is reached with Great Britain, their existence as rum runners will be made miserable.
 General Andrews will start work today, his first conference being with the American ambassador, Alanson B. Houghton. Succeeding confer- ences are likely to last several weeks.

the killing strain did not affect his game detrimentally.
 i've another idea" said Bobby suddenly. T think this habit of grim concentration straight through the entire round is mistake, for me, anyway. If I walk along like an Indian, concentrating desperately on the next shot with an eighth of a mile to walk before reaching the ball, feel sort of Jagged in my head when I stand up to the shot. Late- ly, l have found out that a word or two with the man l am playing with, or the referee, or maybe some friend in the gallery, relieves the tension. Then when l get to the ball, l can snap on the concentration as hard as l need to-"
 "One thing more, Bobby. There Is lot of interest in those penalty strokes you have called on your self. at St. Louis and Brookline and at Worcester-they say that one cost you the hampionship-and the one at Scioto in that awful round of 79 when the ball moved on the green"
 Bobby held up warning hand.
 "That is absolutely nothing to talk about" he said. "and you are not to write about it."
 There is only one way to play this game--," which is such an eX- cellent finishing line. that I am risk ing a violation of confidence to use it. Because there is so much of Bobby himself in that estimate:
 "There is only one way to play this game"

 UnWanted Visitors

Warren, R. l., July IA P'- Charles R. Maxfleld, roadside store proprietor here who shot two young men through the heart at midnight after they had gone behind the store and he had remonstrated with them, was grilled for hours by the police early today while incensed relatives and friends of the victims crowded the Town hall.

 The men shot were Angelo Cuz- zone and Louis Dichristophono, both of Harrington. Maxtield is alleged to have walked from the store into the roadway with them and then to have pulled out two revolvers and fired. One gun jammed. Cuzzone fell against the automobile in which they had stopped at the scene, and Dichrlstophono ran a few steps and fell dead.
 The three men companions, who had meanwhile been repairing flat tire, rushed them to a doctor but they were beyond aid. The survivors in their story to the police said that there was no altercation preceding the shooting, except that MaXtield had told the pair that they could not make a nuisance out of his place.
 Nfaxfeld ran into his house after the shooting. the survivors declared. Police found him there and took him to the Town hall, where the coroner immediately began taking statements from him and from the victims companions.
