By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, April 25.-Charged with
violating the tariff act by smuggling
43 bottles Of whisky from Canada,
Sarsfield P. Smiddy, 81, claiming to
be the son of T. A. Smiddy, Minister
to the United States of the Irish Free
State, was remanded to the county
Jail today in default of $1,000 bail after
arraignment before j. Stanley Hurd,
United States commissioner.
Smiddy, who said he had been in
Detroit about two years working at
an automobile plant, was arrested
last Friday. According to his story,
he and a party of four friends went
to Canada in an automobile which,
Smiddy said, he borrowed without the
owners knowledge of the use to
which it was to be put.
Returning to Detroit, Smiddy de-
clared, his friends left the machine
when a ferryboat crossing the De-
troit River reached midstream. The
liquor, which he is alleged to have
smuggled, was found packed under
the radiator of the automobile, custom
officials said. The liquor was de-
tected when one of the bottles began
to leak. During the confusion the
friends escaped.
Employment records at the auto
mobile plant where Smiddy said he
worked shows that he left there last
January Z, saying he ''had a better
job
The name 'fProf. Smiddy, Cosmos

events are bringing a new orfentation
of the Chinese situation, affecting not
only the internal military situation,
but injecting new elements and
changing the probable action of
foreign powers on present issues.
Although both sides are retarding
the breach between the moderate and
extremist factions Of the Kuomintang,
now juxtaposed by separate regimes
at Hankow and Nanking, it is certain
nevertheless that Gen. Chang Kai
Shek has definitely broken with the
Communists and is determined to
GUST them from Kuomintang councils.
Gen. Chang followed the clear-up of
Communists from the Shanghai dis
trict by organizing new government
at Marking which openly declares
independence of Hankow, appealing
for support of all stable Chinese
classes. Chinese bankers at Shanghai

Competition of

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 25.--
Declaring that Sunday morning
university convocations had ''ser-
iously impaired the program of re-
ligious work among students car
ried on by several of the churches
of the city," Rev. Herbert Jump
has resigned as pastor Of the Con-
gregational Church here.
1.-THE competition of famous visit
ing speakers brought here at $500 a
sermon Is a discouraging eompeti-
ton to us local clergymen," Mr..
Jump said. Even though the con-
vocations do not come every week,
they tend to discourage our con-
gregations and inject a new ele-
ment into the religious problems
of this university town."
The Sunday morning convoca-
tions were inaugurated about q
year ago by the student council of
the University of Michigan. Ann
Arbor ministers entered a formal
protest to university officials and
the controversy abated with the
understanding the convocations
would be restricted to students.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The New

"Gov. Alfred E. Smith Is ready and

"This information comes from such
a high source that it can be regarded

can unite.
Here Is the program those on the
inside assert the governor viii lay
down:
Program Is Outlined.
Recognition that the eighteenth
amendment has come to stay and
that attempts to repeal it are both
unwise and futile.
"A general statement that the
saloon should be banished in per-
petuity and that the Volstead law
should be rigidly enforced.
"A proposal to seek Improvement or
present lawless conditions by amend
ing the law to permit the States to
legislate for themselves on the non
intoxicating alcoholic contents within

be the maximum which any State
would be authorized by Congress to
legalize.
ut can be said truthfully that many
friends of the governor are trying to
give the country at large to under
stand that Gov. Smith, while a wet,
is not nearly as wet as frequently
painted.
Less Wet Than Butler.
''He has never gone to the extent
of Nicholas Murray Butler and ex-
Senator James w. Wadsworth in call
ing for the repeal or even revision
of the eighteenth amendment. And
large emphasis is being placed on
this point--he has in every public
utterance vigorously upheld enforce
ment of the prohibition laws on a
parity with all other laws.
While good proportion of the
dripping wet rank and file of Tam.
many is still hoping for a plank of
its own devising in the next national
platform, those more intimately con-
nected with the presidential campaign
for the governor appear almost with
out exception to have Joined those
counting on keeping the issue off the
