M'CARL BLOCKS
/. PERSONNEL
BOARD

The Ions. standing feud between
Comptroller General j. r. McCarl
and the Personnel Classification
Board was intensified today. when
McCarl virtually ordered the State
Department to disregard a decision
by the board which would have re-
duced the salary of a division execu.
tive.
The employe in question IL DIR.
Wallace Mcclure. assistant chief OF
the treaty division. He was earn
ing $500 a year a. ranking mem
her in the office of the economic
adviser on April 21. 1928. when
Secretary of state Kellogg formed
the new treaty division from the
personnel of the department.
dumped Two Grades
Mcclure automatically became as
sistant chief of the division at the
same salary until June /, 1928,
when the WEIGH act went into ef.
feet. Kellogg. acting under the
provisions of McCarfs interpreta'
ton of the act. which was disputed
bv the classification board, promoted
Mcclure two salary grades. In
creasing his salary to $500 year.
In explaining his action. Kellogg
said he simply had put Mcclure in
the same grade with assistant
chiefs Of other divisions.
The department later informed
the classification board of Nc.
Clure's new ALLEGATION. On October
81 last. the board ordered Mcclure
to he dropped one grade from the
new ALLEGATION. and set his salary
at IS SEQ, a cut of 5000.
The department, however. con
tinued to pay Mcclure on the basis
of $500 a year, and submitted the
, matter to McCarl.
Review URcalaed Fer
In a ruling today, McCarl de
clared that the Personnel Clsssifica'
tion Board could have. acted only
IL a new position had been created
for Mcclure. He held that Mcclure
was doing the same work as he had
prior to the organization Of the
treaty division.
He further held that the Stats
Department had merely notified the
classification board Of an admin
istrative action. in telling the board
of McClure's new ALLEGATION ana in
creased salary. This did not con
stitute a request for review, it was
decided.
McCarl told the state Department
to continue paying Mcclure at the
rate of $500 a year.

|NMAN SEEKING.
TO GUT DOLE !.
To WIFE !.

RENO, New, March 26 G.N.S).
Apparently In a legal drive to fore;
stall the $3.50 900 property settle
ment demanded by his wife. Walker
F. Inman, multimIlllonaire heir to
the Duke, tobacco fortune, today had
spread on the records Of tine Reno
divorce court the details of the sep.
aration agreement entered into with
Helene Garnet Patch Inman In
1927, whereby she was to receive not
in excess Of $4,000. -.
Calling Emanuel Cohen, the at
torney who negotiated the settle
ment for Mrs. fnman az his witness,
counsel for 1nman had the New
York attorney trace the separation
agreement from the time In July,
1927, when Mrs. 1hman first told
Cohen her husband had left her,
until it's final slgning in November,
1927.
$4,000 Yearly Limit
Under the terms Of this agreement
az outlined by Cohen, Mrs. lnman
was to receive $4,000 year for not
more than five years. the payments
to terminate II she died or femarried
before the full $4,000 had been pdid.
Cohen testified that both Mrs.
Innnan and her sister, Mrs. SchlOas.
who paid the legal expenses Of the
separation proceedings, examined q
financial statement submitted by
Inman's attorneys before signing the
agreement.
In her cross complaint, Mrs.
Tnman Is understood to contend her
husband is worth IS ,0O0, 900 and has
an annual income of 5000, 600.
Cohen did not disclose the details OF
the financial statement figuring in
the separation agreement, but said
attempts at reconciliation were
made during the progress of nego-
tiations and failed.
The name of "Dapper Dan" Col.
Inns was brought into the case by
Cohen. In recalling the chrome
logical progress of the negotiations
he said that on August Is, 1927 ne
visited "Dapper Dan" Collins with
Mrs. Inman AMI I'VE remained up
most of the night"
Marvellous Lover"
But one other witness was heard
,, yesterday. The experimentation
Of Mrs. Mary Hinman, of New
York. who on Saturday had testi.
fled that Mrs Inman had told her
John steele, the actor, was a
marvellous lover" was conducted
with the press excluded.
1t was learned that Mrs. Hinman
proved recalcitrant witness de-
Clininsx to give details of her New
York apartment until threatened
with contempt Of court. She tore
up two diagrams of her apartment
submitted by counsel for Mrs.
1nman, hut later submitted a dia.
gram of her own drawing.
While attorneys for Inman re.
fused TO disclose their plans, 1t
was understood they have only a
few witnesses remaining to be
called. Mrs. Inman Is then ex.
pected to open her drive for a
divorce on her cross complaint
which seeks to have set aside the
S75 900 financial agreement made
in 1927 and substitute therefore a
settlement of $25O.00V.
1t was divulged that the original
separation agreement provided that
| Mrs. Inman must appear II her
husband filed suit for divorce. 1t
was reported that her refusal to do
SO was responsible for the more
than a year which elapsed between
the filing of 1nman's original suit
here and its finally being brought
to trial.

the Gilbert and Sullivan varlet
The answer seems to be when II
aims to protect the American coast
lire from rum-running, smuggling
and the depedations of alien ves'
sells within and without the three
mile limit or the twelve-mile limit,
as the case may be.
Some years ago the American
and British governments tried
new tack in the fight against Rum
Row" fleet of liquor vessels
lying outside New York harbor, ty
negotiating a treaty modifying the
general rule Of international law
giving a nation territorial jurisdic-
ton only three miles off its coast
line.
Case OF I'm Alone
The treaty apparently extended
this Jurisdiction to twelve miles
out"
The case Of the British smuggling
vessel I'm Alone, sunk by Coast
Guard ship, has forced into the
spotlight the loopholes in this de-
ceptive treaty, and II the conten'
tion of the British government
which is now supported by the
state Department-is correct, the
value of the pact appears to be
almost nil.
The British government saws that
the territorial jurisdiction of the
American Government ends at the
three-mile limit, and the State De
partment agrees with 1t.
What Is "Hot Pursuit"
It acknowledges 1t has an anti.
smuggling treaty with the United
States, but it says that the twelve
mile limit provision in II gives the
American Government the right to
search and seize" alien ships su2'
pected- of smuggling. hut not to
engage In the hot pursuit of such
ships
But what is hot pursuit." Even
the international lawyers do not
seem to know. The British govern
ment acknowledges the right Of the
United States to engage in hot
pursuit" of ships carrying the Union
Jack only within the three'mile limit.
Possibly it would grant the right
Of an American coast guard ship to
carry pursuit mot so hot out to
the 12.mile limit. Nobody seems
to know what the law is exactly.
and all the legalists involved seem
bent to make it as tight and com
plicated a knot as their tortuous
ingenuity allows.

except on festal days when he must

paying him two-thirds Of his salary.
He served the two churches until his
death in 1871. Then, until 1927. the
parish seems to have languished. no
records having been preserved. at
which time the old brick building was
torn down and in 1929, the present
church was erected in its new location
on Union Street. in Smyrna. Since
then, without interruption, it has been
faithfully serving its people. 1t has

Peal of Bells Given in 1907

In 1907, a Westminster peal of bells
was presented BY Morris Clothier Of
Philadelphia in memory of the late
Alexander Griswold Cummins. Two
communion services have been given.
The first was in memory of Emily Ce-
ella Dwight. Recently a much larger
and more ornate one, of unique work
manship and set with semi-percious
stones, which was brought from Italy,
was given BY Mrs. Darrah, Of Phila-
delphia, in memory of her husband.
There are also memorial brasseS,
candlesticks, a professional cross, an
altar cross, vases, and other gifts in
memory of those who were devoted
workers in the church. The pyarish
house is very pretty building of
Gothic type. It was the gift Of Mrs.
Susan Fisler and the ground on which
the rectory stands was gift of Mrs.
Fisler, a descendant of John and
Susan Cunn1ins. An interesting mem
orial is an altar cloth of Mexican
drawn work, made in the Josephine
Hooker School in Mexico City, pre-
sented by the late Miss Henrietta
briggs in memory Of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel 3. briggs, faithful
members Of the church. Miss briggs

the veterans must prove their legal
rights to government help. AS the
time grows longer since the close Of
the war this becomes increasingly diff
ficult and in large number of cases
the veterans must have expert assist
ance to prove their claims.
"Ever since its organization The
American Legion has maintained a
service to help disabled men with
their claims. The work has grown
tremendously in the last year, 10000
cases having accumulated in the Leg
ions rehabilitation office in Washing
ton with new cases coming in at the
rate Of % a day. The AuXiliary's
dimes will give the Legion the means
of carrying these cases through to a
decision and will result in many thous-
ands of dollars being gained for the
disabled. The entire fund will be
raised by April 9th and will be turned
over to the Legion on this day, the
anniversary of Americas entrance in
to the World War" The present en-
deavor is not the first time that the
Auxiliary women have put their dimes
to work for the wars victims, Mrs.
McSherry explained. In 1925 fund
of $4,000 was raised through the col
lection of a dime from each member
to construct a building at the Leg
IONS billet for war orphans at Otter
Lake, Michigan. This "House that
