 BLOCK RUM STREAM
American Committee Seeks to
 Stop Smuggling Into US.

London, Feb. 2 Rs-Undcr the presidency Of the Bishop of London "a largely attended meeting of Englshmen and English women has gone on record as being willing 10 aid in checking the flow of illicit drink from the British Isles to the ! Unitcd States,
 Official notice was taken Of the meeting, called in response to an ap- peal from tho American citizens committee of 1000, which requested help to put down smuggling. This was when Sir Austen Chamberlain secretary of state for foreign affairs sont a letter saying the government was doing all in its power 10 assist the United states lin suppressing this traffic in which his masjety s government entirely disapproved"
 The Bishop of London said the meeting had not been called to cX- press views of prohibition but there was no doubt public health had inn l proved and the industrial output of America had increased since prohl- ! bition had been in effect, The Bishop cited statistics showing that twenty of twenty-four rum runners seized by the American authorities during . the last six months of 1925 were ] British. He thought il an impert- 1 nance that Englishmen should at l tempt to override law that a sister ! nation had chosen for its own good i Shouts of shame" were heard when the Bishop said rum running was most dishonorable to Great Britain. i Referring to. many manufac- tured lies' that had been received regarding the lack of effectiveness of prohibition in the United States the Bishop said.
 You cannot think anything Of those silly little fools who swaGgcr is mere bravado. You have to look at the great broad effect upon the whole nation."
 Lord parmoor, former lord presi- dent of the council, thought the smuggling trade ought 10 disappear altogether. and until it did it would rebound 10 the dscredit of Great ! Britain. A suggestion that meetings of protest against smuggling liquor i be held in all the great cities of the 1 British Isles was made by Sir Don 1 aid MacLcan. Lady Astor member ! of parliament, in a letter said she was convinced public opinion would support any action the British gov ernmcnt felt it could take to reduce these discreditable activities"
 The meeting approved a response 10 the American appeal which said that the fact that any British citi- zens for financial gain should have taken any part whatsoever in invad- ing the sanctity of your laws has aroused in this country widespread indignation" It called attention to the liquor treaty between Great Britain and the United States as recognition of 'our common respon-
 sibiity" and added that those at the
 meeting share with you the feelings
 that nothing should be left undont
 to reduce still further the evils tc
 which you call attention"

.URGE SEPARATE
 ARMY AIR CORPS
Congress to Receive Proposal at
 Its Present Session

Washington. Feb. 2 Pl--A com prehcnsivo program for development of army aviation is expected to be drafted by the house military com mittce in time for consideration by the present congress.
 Within few days the commit tee will retire to executive session to puzzle over the maze of conflict ing reports filed by various investi- gatug bodies in recent months.
 With the impending introduction of two bills by Representative James, republican, Michigan, to carry out recommendation of the I.assitcr board report and that of the house .aircraft committee of the last con- gresS, the committee will have be- tore it all proposals that have been submitted 10 build up aviation.
 Foremost among these is a meas ure by Representative Wainright, republican, New York, former as sistant secretary of war, designed 10 carry out the recommendation for  q separate air corps in the army as urged by Major General Mason NJ. Patrick. army air chief,
 There are indications that the
 Patrick plan is viewed sympathetic ally by q number of members, and perhaps represents the limit to which the committee may go in recommending reorganization of the air defense. A number of represen tatiVcs favor a more material de- parturc from the existing organiZa- Ition, but others believe the Patrick
 plan may be incorporated in a com, promise measure on the theory that ithe press of legislation will permit Iadoption only of proposal carry | ing the unanimous endorsement of Ithc committee.

HUMMEL'S BODY IS
 DUE HOME TO-DAY
Alleged "SOn'' to Fight for
 Recognition

New York, Feb. Up - The body Of Abe Hummel, well known New York lawyer who died in self imposed exile In London leaving a si,ooo,00o fortune which Is now claimed by m hitherto mreyealod son." was due home today.
 The body was shipped on tho steamship Olympic which is due tonight and funeral services prob ably will be held tomorrow Houry D. Hummel. a bakery cart driver Of Portland. Me, who claims he is the son of the noted criminal law yer. and his attorney. State Sena- tor Frederick w. Hlnckley, have announced their intention of at tending the services.
 Disposition of Estate
 Yesterday the Daily Express Of London said it understood that rtummel left his fortune to two sisters, to revert to a nephew. Abe Kaffenburg, Of Paris, on their deaths The fortune is estimated at .l,250,000. Friends here believe that the will will be read after the funeral.
 It was Kanenburg's denial Of the existence of q son Of the late lawyer that led young Hummcl to press his claim that he is the lcgi- innate heir of the Hummel for tune. The Portland man asserts that his mother, Leila Farrell, the singer, and Hummel were married secretly and that he is their son. His mother died when he was five years old.
 To Raise NOuStaChc
 To help prove his claim, young Itummel is growing q moustachc in order 10 increase what friend- declare close facial resemblance 10 the late lawyer. Many persons throughout the country, have told stories indicating Hummol was married and many have offered t0 help the Portland man prove his claim.
 At Portland it was considered possible that the body Of Leila Farrell would be eXhumed from a local cemetery to determine whether she wore an engraved wedding ring. Mrs. Kate Jefferson, her mother, was said 10 have tol1 friends on her deathbed that she allowed the ring 10 be buried with her daughter.
