BLOCK ISLAND CASE
|SDEC|DED FOR us.
Supreme Court Holds Boats
Seized by States Can Be
Given Government.

Deciding the celebrated Ray of
Block Island case from Rhode Island.
the Supreme Court held today that
boats and automobiles seized by State
prohibition authorities can legally be
turned over to the Federal Govern
ment when the State in question has
no con1scation law of its own.
The decision upheld the right of the
Providence police to turn over to
Federal prohibition agents the motor
boat Ray of Block Island. which they
had seized with liquor aboard.
The legality of that course had
been questioned because the Federal
officers had not themselves detected a
violation of the law.
The Providence, r. L.. police, In
the absense of the Federal agents,
had seized the boat. laden with liquor.
The State law did not provide for con-
fiscation of the boat and cargo and
both We're turned over to the Federal
agents. Those operating the boat.
however, We're convicted under State
law
The Government, considering the
case as "a precedent which would
establish Federal authority to take
over automobiles and boats seized by
State police, placed great importance
in the issue. In the instance of the
Ray of Block Island it was contendad
that the Federal agents had as an
argument the conviction of those
operating the boat and as evidence
the liquor which had been seized.

In a series of articles in The

one of them is killed with a cold
blooded casualness that suggests
the feuds of the Renaissance
period. Involved in the sinister
and cruel Vaccinations of these
gangsters are two young people:

night club and his sweetheart.

Formal notification that the United

World Court conference in Geneva
September 1 has been sent the Ameri
can legation at Bern for delivery TO
the League of Nations.
The conference was called to con-
slider the reservations attached by the
Senate to American adherence to the

invited, but after conferences between
Secretary kellogg and President
Coolidge it was decided that Ameri-
can adherence could be made effective
only through correspondence between
the State Department with the As
signatories to the court protocol.

In his note Secretary Kellogg re-
called that the league asked the sig
natory governments to indicate To
this country the difficulty of treating
the American reservations by the di-
rect exchange of notes.
1T would seem to me to be a mat
ter of regret if the council of the
league should do anything TO create
the impression that there are sub
stantial difficulties in the way OF
such direct communication Mr.
Kellogg said.
This Government does not con
slider that any new agreement Is nee
essary to give effect to the condl-
tions and reservations on which the
United States is prepared to adhere
to the permanent court
Secretary kellogg pointed out thai
the reservations are plain and un
equivocal, and. according to theil
terms, they must be accepted by the
exchange of notes between the United
States and each of the IS states sig
natory to the statute of the parlia
ment court before the United States
can become party and sign the pro
tOcol."
IF any machinery is necessary tC
give the United States an opportunity
to participate through representatives
for the election of judges, this should
naturally be considered after the res
ervations have been adopted and the
United States has become a party tC
the statute of the Permanent Cour
of International Justice.
IF the states signatory to the statute
of the Permanent Court desire to con
fer among themselves. the United
States would have no objection what
ever to such a procedure. but under
the circumstances it does not seem ap
propriate that the United States would
send a delegate to such conference.

The plan does not go as far as a

cooperate with British ships in

The arrangements are purely ex-

the object of making it difficult to

Having dashed a freak snowfall
into the surprised face of shivering
April. the Wintry elements will take
a final frigid fling tonight before
scurrying out of the way for a spell
of real Spring weather, now in the
offing, it was disclosed today by Fore
caster Charles L. Mitchell.
Boreas' trick tonight will be the
rare feat of making the thermometer
believe it is still January, forcing 1t
to register a temperature of freezing.
The seance will be short-lived. how
ever, and by tomorrow the mercury
will have started decided upward
trend Mr.. Mitchell said.
The forecast for Wednesday is
much warmer" and this holds good
as far as the weather vision of the
forecaster can discern. While no
further inclement or unreasonable
weather is in immediate prospect, the
Weather Bureau won't guarantee
that there will not be a few more
cold snaps yet, extending possibly
into May.
Records of the bureau show that
Yesterdays snowfall was not without
precedent. Traces of snow have been
registered as late as May. On May
10, 1906. snow fell here heavily
enough for official recognition, while
the temperature was 3S degrees, as
compared with yesterdays low mark
of IS. Snow traces were recorded
also on May 9, 1928, when the temper
ature was SO degrees, and on April
25 1919, when the mercury dropped
to 35 degrees. Half an inch of snow
fell April IA and Is, 1928, with the
