LIQUOR SEIZURES BEYOND LIMIT
OF TWELVE MILES RULED LEGAL

WASHINGTON, May 81. P0-The
supreme court today upheld the coast
guard in the seizure as rum runners
of two vessels beyond the 12-mile
limit, but refused to pass upon the
constitutionality of the British rum
treaty, which had been attacked on
the gorund that it was working to
the detriment of American shipping.
The seizure cases were instituted by
Arthur Maui of Connecticut and
James M. Lee of Massachusetts,, and
involved, respectively, the vessel "Un-
derwriter,' taken 81 miles off the
coast, and a small boat captured "a
miles off Boston Light.
In sustaining the seizure and for
feiture of the Underwater" the
court declared that the coast guard

had authority to take any vessel
liable to seizure by virtue of any
law respecting the revenue" and as
serted that this authority could be
exercised outside as well as within
respective districts.
1t based its decision in the Lee case
upon its findings in the Under
writer" and held that evidence OBJ
tained through seizure of the small
boat could be used in court.
The British rum treaty was at
tackled by the Neptune Association of
Masters and Mates and others, who
contended that it violated the pro-
hibition amendment by permitting
British vessels to bring Intoxicating

Informed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, R)-A
barrage of accusations of inefficiency
and waste in naval administration
affairs was laid down today round
the heads of high naval officers by
one of their brothers in command,
Rear Admiral Thomas p. Magruder.
Defending before the house naval
committee his recently published ar
ticles attacking the navy Magruder
declared that there were too many
high officers, that seven navy yards
could be abolished and that the
navy should have ships built in pri-
vate yards rather than attempt the
construction itself,
Magruder'S testimony was prefaced
by clash between members of the
committee over whether he should
proceed under oath. it was decided
finally by a vote of 16 to 3, that he
would not be sworn in, but not be-
fore chairman Butler had announced
that he would resign from the COM
mittee before he would Anticipate
that this witness won't tell the truth.
The vote came after Rep McClin-
took, democrat, Oklahoma, had been
denied permission to put in the COM
mittee record a statement saying that
he did not care to participate in
any proceedings that might be de-
Scribed as white wash" and that
he recalled in 1924 that Rear Or
miral Robson had so 'enthused
certain members of the naval COM
mittee in his version" of the Teapot
Dome lease that photographs were
taken and "splashed on the screen
labelled naval committee finds no
thing wrong with Teapot Dome

Magruder, who recently was rehev-
ed of command of the Philadelphia
navy yard, told the committee thai
the Charleston, S. G. navy yarc
should be abolished and that he
chad his eye' on the yard at Kittery
Maine, which, he said, was being
kept open for submarine construction

The outSpoken admiral declared
that many old ships, including "tht
flagshipS at Santiago" were beins
kept in commission to police South
America. He argued that the ships
were so old that their maintenance
was expensive and that new ship:
should be assigned to the work.

argument today in the criminal con-
tempt proceedings against Harry F.
Sinclair William J. Burns and their
associates
O'Reilly answered four questions
in an entire day on the stand, and
the remainder of the time was taken
up with controversy. Government
counsel yesterday adduced testimony
to show that the detective visited
the home and place of business of the
jurors parents in shadowing the
oil jury on orders from Sinclair The
witness was warned not to tell of
the conversations and defense coun-
sci charged that the government was
Withholding and obscuring the 'heart

The battle ragged anew when on
cross examination, the government
objected to counsel for the defense
questioning O'Reilly as to the con-
versations. The arguments continued
from soon after the time court open
ed until it adjourned for the day.
9Justice Siddons had not ruled. on the
objection when he left the bench.
Meanwhile, two steps designed to
compel the testimony of M T. Ever
hart, son-in-law of Albert B. Fall,
in the retrial of the Fall-Sinclair
conspiracy case, were taken at the
capitol.
The house judiciary committee ap-
proved bill by Senator Walsh, dem

to three years the statute limitations

bill intended to provide that no
person shall be prosecuted or sub

ion to which he may testify under
oath. The bills would permit Ever
hart to testify, concerning Liberty

were received by Fall from Sinclair
He refused at the last trial to tes-
tify concerning the transaction on
the ground that it would incriminate
