MARTINSBURG, W. Va, Sept. 1s.
In addressing the Federal grand jury
here today, Judge w. f. Baker
charged that propaganda against
prohibition was being waged and
financed from underworld sources"

Three Jones law -yiolators pleaded
guilty and were promptly sentenced
by Judge Baker. Frank Heavener,
Hampshire county, and Lee Ferris,
Morgan county, were given Is

features of the recommendations 10
that dealing with the transfer Of
automobiles, AMI this recommenda-
ton was drafted with the design
of preventing the registration Of
stolen automobiles, thus taking
Washington out Of it's unenviable
position as dumping ground" for
such cars stolen in other States.
Certificate Of Sale
Under this recommendation the
transferer of the vehicle would be
required to fill out a certificate of
sale which would be given to the
purchaser, and also a notice OF the
transfer. This notice would be for
warded to the superintendent Of
licenses within three days, or the
transferrer would be subject to fine.
When the purchaser Of the car
went to register it the certificate of
transfer which he presented would
be checked against the notice Of
tranfer before he could obtain his
tags. Since the signature of both
the buyer and seller must appear
on both the certificate and the
notice of transfer, traffic and license
bureau officials would have a per
feet check before issuing tags or
registering the car.
The recommendation also pro-
vide that a prerequisite to the
registration of any car shall be the
presentation of the certificate OF
transfer and the return Of the
"deaed" tags of the automobile
transferred.
Very little additional protection
would be afforded automobile owners
from the standpoint of title under
the proposed title law than could
have been obtained two years ago

concentrations. bureau officials as

WIVES" AWAIT
PURSER HERE

While Edwin A. Melville, ad-
venturer on land, sea and in the
air, faces a hearing before a United
States commissioner in New York
on the question of his removal to
Washington to face higamy
charge, police here prepared to
summon witnesses to court in the
charge against him.
Melville, who served in the British
Flying Corps during the World War,
was arrested yesterday in New
York as he stepped down the gang
plank of the steamship Minnekahda.
on which he held a position as as
sistant purser. He is the son of a
travelling auditor for the Southern
Railway.
Witnesses who probably will
testify against the dapper Melville
are his alleged first wife, formerly
Miss Edith Noll; his alleged second
who was Miss Zelma Knecttle, of
the 1400 block Girard st. N. w,
and the Rev. Frances Lukens, of
the $500 block Fourteenth st. N.
W., who was said to have per.
formed the second ceremony.
~ The former Miss Noll Is now a
nurse at Sibley Hospital and lives
in the 500 block of Longfellow st.
N. w. She was married to Melville
two years ago, according to the
complaint, and is the mother of a
baby Is months old. The second
marriage occurred during the past
summer. Melville's father today

Ware Cohorts Swamp
Foes in Philadelphia
Republican Primary

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 1S Q.N.S.).
The G. o. P. organization built up
by Senator-elect William S. Ware
.triumphed overwhelmingly in yester-
days city primary, nominating all
candidates by majorities in excess
of 10000, incomplete returns re-
vealed today. Nominations are
tantamount to election. due to the
small number of Democrats in the
city.
Forty out of 4S wards in the city
turned in pluralities for the Ware
followers. despite the efforts of the
Republican League group, led by
Thomas Reaburn White and Mayor
Harry A. Mackey, formerly cam.
paign manager for Ware.
So great was the Ware landslide
that very little trouble was re-
ported at the voting booths, despite
the extreme bitterness of the cam
paign. Numerous minor complaints
of Irregularities were made, but
only in the Fourth division Of the
Twenty-first ward were any arrests
made.

None of them PROBABLY can be ac-
cepted, If for no other reason than
that the British Prime Minister
plans to stay in Washington only
a few days. A dinner at the White
House and a dinner at the en-
bassy, both very formal, probably
will be the limit of official enter
tanning to which Macdonald will
be subjected.
There is considerable speculation
as to whether the embassy function
will be wet or dry. The belief pre-
walls that it will be wet, to the
extent at least of serving wine.
Cellar Well Stocked
Wine has been served at other
functions at the embassy since Sir
Esme Howard, the ambassador, gave
notice that he would import no
more liquor for embassy purposes
At the time of the order. it is
understood the cellar contained some
5000 bottles of choice assorted
wines and liquors. and in the or.
binary course of events that would
be sufficient to supply formal din
ners at the embassy for some time
Advices from London indicate the
Premier is bringing his golf clubs
with him. and this has given rise
to speculation as to who will play
with him. President Hoover doesn't
golf, nor do many of his Cabinet.
Secretary of State Stimson and At.
torney General Mitchell are the
only two members of the Cabinet
who play regularly and with Sir
Esme Howard might make up an
international foursome on either the
Burning Tree or Chevy Chase
courses
