 Antonio DeCarli, mail carrier, saw Sheldon's car in the river the morning after the accident. When tho car was taken out Sheldon s body was behind the wheel.
 A woman's hat and pocketbook and some toys in the seat, combined with the fact that Sheldon was with a woman in Putnam the afternoon before when he came there to set- tie his fathers estate, led to the theory tha, he had a companion. The river was dragged for several days, heavy rains hampering the work. Finally. after pond had been drained dry and no clues ob- tained. search was abandoned.
 In the meantime, through the ar ticles found in the seat, state pc- lice had found that the woman was Mrs. Pierce, who was estranged from her husband and who had gone to Boston to work after leav. ing him and their ( year old child last May. None of her family had heard from her since that time

PROHIBITION IS
 EIGHT YEARS OLD
No Mols Popular hday Than
 When Le6llilod

Washington. Jan. 16 R - The eighth anniversary of the 18th amendment was observed today amid much the same controversy as marked its birth.
 AS supporters of prohibition con- tinued the celebration begun yes- terday, with its center at Wester- vile. Ohio. home of the Anti-Saloon league, it's arch enemy, the Associa- ton Against the Prohibition Amend ment. dug itself in for . more de- termined fight in the future. The associations announcement of ex- pansion of its organization and its .iibe at the dry celebration consti- tuted the only birthday gift from that side of the question in over night developments.
 In addition to the estimate at Westerville. by Dr. Howard Hyde Russell. associate general superin- tendcnt of the league, that services in 30.00o churches marked the an- niversary. William E. "Pussyfoot" Johnson told New York audience that prohibition was in the consti- tuition to stay. and Senator Jones' republican. Washington. declared at Providence, R. T.. that faithful en- forcement soon would be the main issue in a presidential election.
 Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington. head of the publicity and education bu- reau of the Saloon league. also at Westerville, where an eight-min- ute ringing of church bells was ar- ranged today as . celebration, de- clared great strides had been made throughout the world toward su- pression of alcoholism. The drys' observance was characterised here by the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment as . bad tac- ticsl move because it cannot fail to recall to tho minds of citizens the appalling figure of the dry law and their tremendous cost in money and lives"
 Tho association announced the appointment of Henry H. Curran of New York. former immigration commissioner at Ellis Island. as first president of the organization.
 The swelling tide of public dis approval of Volstea dism.'' said a statement by W. H. staytcn. :, the chairman. "has brought with 1t q growth of the association. an in- crease in its ineome and both . necessity and an opportunity for additional work during the presi- dentiai campaign and thereafter"
 At Providence Senator Jones told the Rhode Island citizenship con- vention that while there was room for honest difference over prohibi- ton, there could be no difference among real American9 over law en- forcement and that the time wae coming when millions of democrats and republicans who are prohibi- tionstsf would demand that their party platforms declare specifically for prohibition enforcement. He de- rlared that foes of prohibition would have to use the same consti- tutional means employed by its friends in their efforts to have the law changed,
 "They must elect United states acnators and representatives who will submit another amendment" hn said and added that If the pro- 'tsscI cner,ies of prohibition are : .onnr, vp chnl1c1yf fEcpl tO ot :, ,.oNlrt it.

New York, Jan. lS 1-A world- wide oil war was indicated today n the Standard Oil company of New York picked up the gauge of bat tie which it believes the Royal Dutch Shell company of Europe has tossed at tts feet.
 The controversy started last sum- mer when Sir Henri w. A. Deterd- ing asserted that the Standard of New York in contracting for Rus sian oil. was buying stolen oil" taken from it's owners by "a gang of cut throats, assassins and thieves" Sir Henri. chairman of the Royal Dutch company. which is the great rival of Standard Oil for world markets. charged that the dealin9s of standard op with the Aoviot government was counter to the best interests of humanity and of trade honesty.
 In its first public statement On |the controversy. the Standard Of New York said that tts dsalinss with tho soviet eovernment are not out of accord with Americas policy toward Russia. and. announced that the company will carry out tts com tracts. and will not b. swerved in any manner from its clearly con. ceived policy by such desperate and destructive measures as are being followed in India and threatened in other parts of the world"
 The reference to desperate and destructive measures" in India re- ferred to price cutting. "secret re- bates" and bonuses for increased deliveries cf high grads oil. which the statement said the Royal Dutch company was carrying on. and which it claimed would cost the English company and itS <ubsidi- aries &l2.75o.o00 and the standard Oil company t%.ooo,ooo . year. if continued.
 Meanwhile tho soviet government and its practices was attacked from another angle when Matthew Wcll. acting president Of the National Civic federaticn wrote to the Amer- i, ican- Russian Chamber of Com- mercc asking that body to use its influence with the soviet govern mcnt to stop the "subversive pro- pasanda" which he said is being carried on in this country.
 When Russia secures credit for her purchases here. Mfr. Woll wrote, corresponding amount of credit balances are released to be used for the financing of propaganda "to further their revolutionary pro- grams" in the United States.
 1 In ita reply to Sir Henri Deterd- ing's charges. the Standard of New York said that the Royal Dutch company decided to purchase no more oil from Russia only after falling in an attempt to secure a monopoly for the sale of Russia II petroleum products for a term Of years,
 Previous to that time. the state ment said, the British company hal imported nearly 2l.00o.0oo imperial gallons of Russian oil into India and Ceylon. as against 2t.ooo.ooo gallons imported there by Standard oil.

N. LABOR LAWS
ARE CONSIDERED

3. NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 8.-Dele-
gates from several scores of local
unions and central bodies throughout
New Jersey met today at the Newark
Labor Lyceum, 708 S. 18th St., in a
! conference to work out a legislative
program for union labor of the state.
The conference, under the call of
the New Jersey Federation of Labor,
was summoned as result of reso-
luton carried at the last Camden
convention of the State Federation
which stated that of the many labor
proposals offered to the state legis-
eature none had even been brought up
sby the representatives of the old par
Hies.
Originally the conference was
called to consider the following four
demands: limitation of the rse Of in
functions in labor disputes, increases
in the maximum compensation from
SIT to $40, amendments to The exist
ing wage law and changes in the ex-
isting laws to enable workers TO col
lcct unpaid earnings.
Early in the conference the officials
of the state labor movement raised
the slogan, go slowly; don't ask for
too much"
About 300 delegates attended the
meeting.
Delegates close to the rank and file
carried on strong agitation for legis-
lative plans designed to reduce or
eliminate convict labor in the state,
! which was reported spreading in all
sections. But the officialdom in at
tendance succeeded in preventing ac-
Eon by the conference.
II Hugh Frayne, of New York, Amer
fican Federation of Labor organizer,
and Spencer Miller. Jr., secretary of
the Workers Education Bureau, were
among the officials in attendance.
