Created Constabulary Would
Be Enforcement Agency.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
HALIFAX, October f12-Premier E.
N. Rhodes today outlined the govern
ment liquor control act which would
replace the present temperance law
should change be authorized in the
piebiscite october 81.
Under the proposed plan local off.
Gals would be relieved of enforcement
responsibility. which would be placed in
charge of an especially created con-
stabulary. Other proposals include an
educational campaign in temperance,
the banning of liquor advertisements
and creation of an independent admin
iStration committee.
The premier said the act would en-
brace the best features of the control
addition, such further provisions as
would tend toward temperance and to
eliminate drunkenness and lawlessness.
Government shops would be estab-
nshed only in such communities where
the majority so desired. No "open
bars" would be permitted. Premier
Rhodes said that should the present
temperance act be upheld In the plebis-
cite the government would stand be-
hind its strict enforcement and would
be prepared to consider any such
amendments as might be felt desirable
to strengthen it.
Coupled with the premier's announce
ment was an announcement by Rev.
d. K. Grant, chief inspector under the
Nova Scotia temperance act, who said
he believed it had been given a fair
trial during the four years of his super
vision, but that its efficiency could be
increased by several amendments.

.SMOOT Confident
OF TARIFF VICTORY
informs Hoover at 'ParIey
Senate win Reach Final
Vote by November 60.

Chairman Snaoot of the Senate
finance committee, after a conference
with President Hoover today, expressed
confidence that the Senate would reach
final vote on the tariff bill by Novem-
ber 20.
The Senator said he had reviewed
the situation surrounding the tariff bill
with the President.
Although asserting that the Demo-
cratic-independent Republican coalition
has power enough to defeat the bill
Smoot said he had assurances from
Senator Robinson OF Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, that this was not the
intention Of his party colleagues.
PRONUNCIATION Opposed.
Fears of Republican leaders that the
administration would not favor a con-
tinuance of the tariff debate into the
regular session, beginning in December
meanwhile have received neither con-
firmation nor authoritative denial.
A dozen more individual amendments
will still confront the Senate when it
reassembles Monday, to be disposed of
before the rate schedules can be taken
up. With that in view and only six
weeks left for the special session, those
working to get the bill out of the way
found cause for addition worry in the
fact that two days were consumed in
disposition of the Cutting amendment
to modify customs bans against i'm
ported books.
Under that amendment, as adopted,
the bar against immoral books would
be removed, leaving the customs
authorities concerned only with litera-
EVHN rxSwa - a.
American law or containing threat
against the life of an American citizen
Prison Labor Up.
The first of the individual amend
mentS awaiting action Monday Is q
proposal by Senator Blaine, Republican,
Of Wisconsin to extend the prohibition
against importation of convict-made
and convict-mined goods to include
all goods made by forced labor.
Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, who has carried much of the
brunt Of the debate for the Republican
regulars, meanwhile. made public a
telegram from officers of the Americas
Wage Farmers Protective Conference.
1t protested against "the malicious and
unwarranted insinuations made by Sen
ator Henry F. Ashurst on the floor
OF the Senate Tuesday, October g.,
toward Senator Reed while the latter
was at labor's request urging the adop-
ton OF legislation of great value to the
American wage workers.
Release OF the statement by Reed fol-
lowed an attempt by Senator Watson
to read it into the record, as the mes
sage requested, which was blocked by
protests from Senator Robinson and
other Democrats. Watson offered to
withdraw it In view of their attitude
that 1t was an attack on Ashurst, but
II was expunged from the Record
instead.

LACKING
TO ExHUME BODY
Three Justice Department
Agents at Salisbury in
MCPHERSON Probe.
By stan Correspondent Of The star.


SALISBURY, N. c., October Ia
Three Department Of Justice agents ar
rived in Salisbury late last night, to SUI
pervise the exhuming of the body OF
Mrs. Virginia Mcpherson, who Is buried
at Greenlawn Cemetery, at China Grove
10 miles away. Mrs. Mcpherson was
found strangled In her Washington
apartment September IA.
DR.. C.. w. Armstrong, county health
oficer of Rowan County, announced to-
day that he had given no permission
to have the body exhumed. Authority
might be forthcoming from State off,
cials at Raleigh. however, he said, but
believed that in that case he should
be notified. DR.. C. d. Brown, county
coroner, has had no request from the
Department of Justice to superintend
the exhuming at a subsequent autopsy
as yet.
Doubt Place Of Autopsy.
County health officials are in doubt
as to where the autopsy will be con-
Quoted. DR.. Armstrong, however, said
that the body could not be removed
from Rowan County without his per-
mission, but that in all probability II
such a request were made he would
grant 1t.
Beginning their investigation today.
the Department of Justice agents con-
ferred with former friends of Mrs. Nc
Pherson at China Grove and Salisbury.
Oppose Suicide Theory.
Residents of China Grove and the
surrounding country are emphatic in
their opinion that Mrs. Mcpherson did
not commit suicide. Those who knew
her declared that she was held in high
regard and had had a happy and
cheerful disposition. She was one of
the most liked young members of the
community.
Her body is inferred beside that of
her brother, Otis Hurley, who died in
1917 at the age of 81.

South America Awake
To Aerial Possibilities

From the Phila delrhia Evening Bulletin.
Opening Of the Buenos Aires-Miami
air mail service, cutting down the time
of communication between the Argen-
tinian capital and New York from an
average Of 81 days to II, means some
thing more than a new facility for
stimulating our trade with South Amer
lea. It signalizeS also the awakening
Of the southern republics to air-con-
5ciouSness for on the eve of the de-
parture of the first northbound mail
plane announcement was made OF the
signing of 10-year contract for air
mail service between Argentina and 81
other Latin American countries.
The service thus contemplated will
make the Miami-Buenos Aires route
the backbone of a system establishing
connection with practically all of Con-
trail and South America and the West
Indies, including IL countries on the
main line. And since the saving Of
time Is the main object, the nine days
now required for flight between the
terminals will presently be cut to six
by the introduction of larger and fast
er planes already under construction.
From Buenos Aires to Miami the
distance Is 7,100 miles; from Miami to
New York, 1900. The bridging of such
a gap by the longest air mail route In
the world Is an achievement warrant-
ing q cordial exchange of fluctuations
between the countries which will pfofit
by it.

Identifies the Lanier
Who Made Gift to Union

To the Editor Of The star:
For one who Is himself Hoosier and
generally 50 accurate, I was surprised
TO note an error on the part Of Mr..
VILE In his Washington Observations
Of Wednesday in regard to q fellow
Hoosier. Writing Of the visit of Presi-
dent Hoover to Madison, Ind, he states,
among other things, that Sidney La
nier, broker and merchant. was the
towns richest man, who immortalized
War Gov. Morton his entire fortune
that the state might do its full duty
by the Union cause.
1t was not Sidney" who was our
great Southern poet, but j. d. r. Lanier
who gave TO Gov. Morton $1,600,00o TO
equip the Indiana troops after the Leg
isiature had refused or failed to make
the necessary appropriations for that
purpose. He was inspired to this by his
Incorporating Union sympathies and
faith that the State would ultimately
went originally from New Berne, N. c.,
first to Kentucky, and finally settled in
Madison, Ind. Unlike their Southern
kin of the same name, they all were in
tensely Union.
Mr.. Lanier foresaw the possibilities OF
the great Southwest and promoted the
building Of most Of the railroads in that
section. He finally located In New York
City and founded the banking firm OF
Winslow e. Lanier. still in existence
and 1t was this firm that sold the first
railroad bonds ever hoated in the city
of New York. His son, Charles Lanier,
head Of this Arm, died about two years
ago, above the age Of 80. Mr. Lanier
az the request of the Secretary of the
Treasury, represented our Government
at a monetary conference at Brussels
and travelled throughout Europe imme-
diately following the Civil War, under
authority Of the Government, to confer
with European leaders in an effort to
restore the confidence of Europe in the
future and financial responsibility OF
the United States.

Business Of Shipping Board
Made Subject of Criticism

thing worse than bad bargains was
made It is time to know all the details
Of these strange transactions ss
"The auditors did not try to act a.
detectives and ascertain all OF the posi-
BILE causes in connection with these
huge losses" declares the Sioux City
Tribune. "They checked the operations
in and out, and found startling dis
crepancieS between Government invest
merts and so-called liquidation Of these
investments. Up one side and down the
other, under the mildest classification,
it was trail of waste and leakage that
ran into big figures"
ut Is q sickening tale" asserts the
Richmond News-Leader, "replete with
astounding instances of waste, haste and
callous incompetence. The relations
between the Shipping Board and the
Fleet Corporation, which was known as
the Emergency Fleet Corporation untn
1927, have defied analysis and bred con-
fusion. Nobody really knows how much
money has been thrown away. and APP
parently nobody vants to know. The
disposition Of Congress and OF success
sive administrations seems to have been
to forget the whole experiment in ship
building as one OF the worst failures OF
democracy"
The santa Barbara Daily News finds
in the report "a suggestion that there
was gross favoritisn in this distribu-
ton Of the public's money. The easy
terms Of the sale of these ships were
not generally known, so favored indl-
viduals seem to have reaped the profits"
The st. Paul Pioneer Press remarks:
THE efforts Of the Government since
the war to foster the merchant marine
have been a continuing disappointment.
What success will attend the
new program remains to be seen, but
the record as q whole is not brilliant
one"

Kansas City JouTnal-Post, but before
getting too much exercised about 1t we
might think about some of the othex
war activities from which far less waSN

while In Washington and expects no
return except such as comes from his
success in his efforts TO convince Con-
gress that tariffs should be kept up or
increased. But apparently Mr.. Grundy
thinks that the rewards of his labor
have been sufheient.
Tariff and politics are Mr.. Grundy's
hobbies, or avocations, along with his
vocation Of manufacturing. They are
closely allied in Mr.. Grundys mind. He
is not one, apparently, who thinks that
tariff has been taken out Of politics or
ever will be. Mr. Grundy labors in
the vineyard during the political cam
paigns in his State and in the Nation.
He has raised great sums of money for
Republican campaigns. And he has en-
deavored to see to 1t that the Repub-
lican party platforms shall always be
right" on the tariff question, After
an election Mr.. Grundy has come to
Washington to see that these platform
pledges shall be written into law, so far
as the tariff is concerned. Possibly he
and other members of the party may
differ in the degree Of tariff protection
which the party has pledged to the in
dustries. But, II possible, Mr.. Grundy
brings the others - particularly the
members of Congress-to his point Of
view. He does not regard the House
tariff bill or the Senate bill, now pend
ing. as a general revision Of the tariff"
He does not think that 1t goes far
enough. That is Mr.. Grundy's position,
and the lobby committee will have to
make the best it can of it.
Mr.. Grundy's activities as a lobbyist
have been rather successful, even he adj
mits, with due regard for his natural
modesty. But he maintains stoutly
that he is entitled to appear here and
to argue with members of Congress in
the interest of the manufacturers. 1t
is only when or II his activities have a
sinister side, either through the use of
too much money or the misuse Of In
nuence or the use of threats with re-
gard to future political campaigns, that
Mr.. Grundy or any other lobbyist be-
comes menace. Every interest In the
country has a right to present its case
when tariff legislation Is under consid-
Grafton. But none has a right to pre-
sent 1t unfairly or to seek to influence
legislation by corrupt methods.
