DENTIST. IDENTIFIES
SMITH GIRL $ BODY
Drowning Victim Positively
Named as College Student
Missing for Year.
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 3d.
Identity of body found in the Con-
necticut River near here yesterday as
that Of Frances st. John Smith of New
York, Smith College freshman, who
disappeared from Northampton more
than year ago, was established late
today by DR.. w. J.. Wood of Pelham,
N. Y. After examination of special
dental work DR.. Wood declared 1t was
work he had done for Miss Smith three
years ago.
Solves One Disappearance.
DR.. Wood was asked by police to come
here after he had said in q telephone
conversation that the special work de-
scribed by a local dentist closely re-
sembled that done by him. The body
was in such condition that no other
apparent means Of identification existed.
Identification of Miss Smiths body
solves, in part, one of two mysteries that
have concerned Smith College students
in recent years. The other has re-
manned complete to the present time
M. Corbett of Utica, N. Y, junior class
member. She dropped out of sight No
vember Is, 1925, and no trace has ever
been found of her.
Plan Burial Tomorrow.
Less than a dozen miles from where
she wandered of to meet her death by
drowning in the Connecticut River Miss
Smith will be buried Monday afternoon.
The funeral will be at the LedgeS, SUM-
Yner home of the Smith family at South
Amherst, it was announced.

Publicity, and Possibly Hi.
jacking, Prevent Delivery
of All 800 Cases Here.

OF some 800 cases of fine liquor un-
loaded on Baltimore docks yesterday,
while in transit to a dozen embassies
and legations, only those consigned to
less than half dozen had run the
gantiet Of publicity and red tape to
destinations here last night.
The British truckload of 19 cases,
which came through in the face of a
publicity fanfare, after other diplomats
had decided to wait day when the
Baltimore-Washington highway would
less likely be beset BY hi-jackers, was
attended by a mysterious pair In an au-
tomobile from the docks almost to the
door Of the embassy here.
The men, pulling their car abreast Of
the truck on several occasions, claimed
to be prohibition agents and displayed
badges, but declined to produce papers
to this effect, and it is not known If
they we're following as guards or as hi
jackers biding an opportunity to seize
the consignment.
Police Halt Truck Six Times.
This shipment, in addition, was halt
ed at six separate points by police and
the attache aboard the vehicle was
asked each time to exhibit his creden-
tials.
1t is believed, however, that the ac-
ticity on the part Of police was intended
more as q guard against robbery than
any. htndrance to the movement. One
officer, John Scherring, of No. IL pre-
cinct,y examined the papers when the
truck stopped to repair a tire.
Similar experiences were reported in
the wake Of the German consignment,
which arrived here at $50 o'clock yes
terday evening with SO cases aboard.
Police patrols along the route, ap-
parently mindful Of the ruling by the
Treasury Department that hands
of" policy regarding diplomatic liquors
be observed, made after the case here
two weeks ago, when police seized a
consignment to the SiaineSe legation,
allowed the trucks to proceed after
viewing the credentials Of the attaches.
The remainder of the liquor unloaded
yesterday from the British steamship
Maryland at pier No. z, Locust Point,
was securely padlocked in Baltimore
warehouses, presumably to await a
secret movement later.
The decision to delay transport by
truck came after the diplomats had

NEW YORK, March 3O.--Charles H.
Tuttle, United States attorney, will
start an inquiry tomorrow into the re-
port that William H. Morgan, dry Rep
resentative from Ohio, brought in four
bottles Of whisky when he arrived from
the Canal Zone Monday.
II the statements made by customs
inspectors who say they saw the whisky
and that Mr.. Morgan admitted that 1t
was whisky, prove to be as reported, it
is probable that the matter will go be-
fore the grand jury.
I'm view Of the conflicting statements
attributed to the customs officers and to
Representative Morgan" said Mr.. Tut
tie, my office will institute on Monday
an immediate and thorough investigation
Of the case"
Mr.. Morgan, who is in Washington.
reiterated his denial that he had brought
whisky into the country and said again
that he never drank liquor.
He said that he had had some Diff
ficulty with o customs inspector and
said he had found 1t necessary to tele-
phone for the privilege Of free entry,
granted only to Government officials on
ofdcial business.
Probe to Follow Usual Lines,
Mr.. Tuttles inquiry will proceed
along the usual lines with examination
by member Of his staff Of L. H. Craw-
ford and James McCabe, the customs
inspectors who said they saw the bot
ties Of the deputy surveyor, who is said
to have stamped Mr.. Morgan's papers
for free entry.
Inspectors Crawford and Mccabe de-
clined yesterday to discuss the matter
again informally. An inquiry was about
to be started they said, and their state
ments must be reserved for Robert B.
Watts, assistant United States attorney
In charge Of prohibition enforcement.
Two grand juries win assemble Tues
day and II the statements cf the cias-
toms inspectors indicate to Mr.. watts
that such action Is warranted, they and
other witnesses viii be called to testify
before one Of those bodies. Mr.. Morgan
may be asked to give an explanation To
Mr.. Tuttle before the grand jury acts.
Congressmen May Be Called.
Two Senators and 20 other Represent
ativeS were on the steamship Christie
bal with Mr.. Morgan, and most of them
are believed to have been on the pier
when Inspector Crawford started to ex-
anime his baggage. 1t Is possible that
several Of them may be asked for In
formation concerning the incident.
Some Of them already have expressed
their disbelief in the accusation against
Mr.. Morgan. 49, fts
Frederic G. Bellinger, former assistant
United States attorney and a member
OF lawyers committee for the defense
OF persons charged with violation OF the
Jones act, said that in the event of Mr..
Morgans indictment the committee
would make no proffer Of assistance.
Henry H. Curran, president Of the AS
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, expressed his qualification
that Mr.. Tuttle intended to inquire into
the incident Immediately.

It all started when the frisky buffalo

rest of Representative M. A. Michaelson
was the objective today of a deputy
sent out by the United States marshals
Office armed with a warrant charging
him with violation of the dry law.
IF he isn't at Rome, camp there tln-
til he shows up," was the instruction
given the deputy. 1t appeared as
though the officer might be sitting on
the doorstep some time, because 1t was
reported Representative Michaelson had
gone to Florida.
Mr.. Michaelson was indicted last
october in Jacksonville. The indict-
ment charges his baggage leaked and
that bottles in it were broken.
Mr.. and Mrs. Michaefson were seen

The warrant for his arrest was issued
yesterday and 1t was understood he

MILFORD, Conn, March 30-Six
men lost their lives here late this

POLICY FOLLOWED RIGIDLY.
S4S Prospecting Permits Are Revoked.
941 Applications Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interior Department vigorously
has placed into effect President Hoovers
program for the conservation Of Gov
eminent oil. Secretary Wilbur an
nounced yesterday that $40 permits for
prospecting on Government oil lands
had been Cancelled and 941 applications
for permits had been refused.
In addition, 326 holders of oil and gas
permits have been called on to show
cause why their permits should not be
Cancelled. Commissioner Spry of the
Land ONCE, who with Solicitor Finney
and Director Smith of the Geological
Survey, has organized the machinery
for carrying out the Presidents order,
said that the committee had Just begun
to function and that within the next
few days the number of cases dis
posed Of viii increase rapidly" t.
Producers Curb Plan Studied.
The general reaction to the conserva-
ton policy, Secretary Wilbur said, has
been favorable.
AS the Government pushes its con-
Servative program with unusual vigor,
it Is scanning with interest the proposal
of the American Petroleum Institute
for q curtailment Of oil production this
year to the 1928 level.
Secretary Wilbur said that he had
not received q report from the Depart
ment of Justice on the legality of the
proposed program, but that a casual
study Of 1t in the Interior Department
had failed to reveal any intention to
violate the antitrust laws.
Awaits Report for Action.
He said, however, that he would await
a detailed report from the Department
of Justice before placing his own de-
partment on record as fayoring or op-
posing the move.
Mr.. Wilbur said that the general idea
Of the Petroleum Institute appeared
strongly to the members Of the Federal
Oil Conservation Board and that while
the Department Of Justice was making
its study, the technical staff of the
beard was looking into the possibilities
Of giving aid and assistance to the pro-
gram.

Decision to send the protest, embody-
ing constructive plan to eliminate its
Objectionable features as it applies to the
public land States of TIE Rocky Noun
tain region, came at the end Of more
than four hours discussion, during the
course of which the policy was scored
roundly.
Called UsurpatiOn Of Power.
The conference was attended by rep
resentatives Of oil companies In the
Rocky Mountain States and others di-
rectly and indirectly involved in oil pro-
duction and its subsidiaries.
Those in attendance referred to the
presidential decree as "the act Of a

of a pen, eliminate legislation which
may appear to him to be Objectionable"
