ment on the present administration"

ment in the closing sessions of its
third convention yesterday.
The communication questions the
Secretary, Of the Treasury as to re-
ports that liquor is being sold aboard

such sale If true. Secretary Mellon is
questioned as to rumors that Roy
Haynes. former chief and now act
ing chief of the Federal Enforcement

tiOn freely, but had his plans nulli-
fed by superior officers.
The letter also inquiries as to the
truth Of the statement that the pres
ent acting chief is not authorized
to dismiss or appoint any official in
his department.
IF this is so,'' the letter inquiries,
where lies the real responsibility for
failures that have been or may be?
In short, is 1t not fair and logical to
put the blame for non.enforcement of

LITTLE GIRL FOUND
IN HERMIT HOME
Reputed Former Opera Sing
er Held After Trying to
Marry Child.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRUNSWICK, Ca, May 12.-In the
home of E. M. Corsi, so, said to be a
former opera singer, who OF late years
has led the life of hermit on an is
land near here, and whom, she said,
she had intended to marry. 13-year-old
Blanche higgins of Waycross, missing
from her home for several days, was
found yesterday by o. M. Hires, chief
of War County police.
With them were Mr.. and Mrs. Her
man Browning of this city, a bride and
groom of only few days.
All four were taken to Waycross
yesterday afternoon, the girl to be re-
sored to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
r. Higgins, and the others to be held
pending the probable filing of kidnap-
ing charges, according to local author
tiles.
Chief Hires said the child disappear
ed from her home last Monday after
going for drive with Mrs. Browning,
then Nora Harper, who called for her
in an automobile. Later, the pair
picked up Browning and started for
Florida, coming upon Corsi some 10
miles out of Waycross.
They then decided to stage double
wedding and proceeded to Jacksonville,
where Corsi endeavored to obtain a
marriage license, which was refused
on account of his intended brides age.
Going to Fernandina, Fla, they again
met with rebuff on the same grounds,
but Browning and Miss Harper were
married there.
From Fernandina the four came to
Brunswick and journeyed to the island
called Lathams Hammock, where they
said they had been since in Corsi's lit
tie two-room house.
