RAIDERS MAY
Be INDICTED
Husband Of Slain Woman
Asks Action Against
Trio At Once

AURORA, Ill, March 27.@P)-
Joseph Deking, through counsel, to-
day demanded that immediate action
be taken against county dry raiders
for the Staying Of his wife.
His attorney, Robert A. Milroy,
called upon states attorney Car
mary to move promptly to place re-
sponSibility for the shooting Of Mrs.
Decking at her home Monday night.
The tragedy will not retard the
states attorneys campaign to dry
up Kane county, Carbary said.
The legality of the raid on the
Decking home is the cru of the en-
tire affair, Deking'S counsel said. If
the raiders acted without a proper
search warrant, the lawyer insisted,
then Decking was within his rights
in ordering the deputy sheriffs from
the house at the point Of two pistols.
They had a John Doe warrant.
Mrs. Decking was shot by Deputy
Sheriff Roy Smith as she ran to
her husband, felled by a blow from
Smiths weapon when heresisted ar
rest. Smith said he fired believing
Mrs. Decking intended to shoot him.
States Attorney Carbary said he
would present the facts to the grand
jury. but expressed opinion the
shooting was justified on grounds Of
self-defense.

u. S., ENGLAND
CLEAR TREATY
Sinking Of I'm Alone May
Lead To Interpretation
Of Rum Pact

WASHINGTON, March 27.-P-
Differences between the United
States and Great Britain over inter-
probation Of the 1924 rum-smuggling
treaty are likely to be clarified as
one outcome of the sinking of the
Canadian schooner I'm Alone 200
miles off the Louisiana coast Friday
by an American patrol boat.
Pending study of complete official
reports, nc formal action is expected
either in the form of a protest or
overtures looking toclarification of
the rights of the coast guard to
search, seize and pursue suspected
rum runners found within one
hours sailing distance of the Amer
lean shore.
In the meantime, official and dip
lomatic circles are considerably in
terested in the possible courses
which action might take, and some
observers who have followed the I'M
official reports Of the incident see
in them the germs of differences
which could lead to the necessity Of
arbitration. At least, in the opinion
Of state department officials, the
case involves technicalities which
call for the skill of international
lawyers.
Only a few changes are needed to
make the rum smuggling treaty
more effective, as Rear Admiral F. G.
Billiard, commandant of the coast
guard, views the situation. These,
he suggests, might include an agree
ment under which the government
would require ships using their ports
to furnish proof that their cargoes
were delivered at the points desig-
mated in their clearance papers.

and drum corps. A committee COM
posed of w. A. Darling, chairman,
Edmund H. Levy and Ed Taylor

lay plans for the tour.
Leaders in the move for the cit
