Stolen Jewels.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Mrs. Benjamin
Bogeaus, the former Ethelind Terry of
the musical comedy stage, and her hus-
band, real estate dealer, were held
for questioning early today in connec-
ton with the investigation of the theft
of Mrs. Bogeaus' jewels yesterday.
Deputy Commissioner John p. Siege
expressed the belief that the jewel rob-
berry was an inside job" He said Mr..
and Mrs. Bogeaus were in disagreement
over the value of the jewelry taken,
Bogeaus valuing 1t at $4,000. while
Mrs. Bogeaus said it was worth less
than Sill 900. Siege also said the jewels
had been insured only few days ago
against theft.
Bogeaus' Brother Is Held.
Bogeaus' brother, Maurice Bogolowski,
who has been in custody several times
Neither his brother nor MIR. Bogeaus,
however, identified him as one of the
two men they said had taken part in
tie robbery.
Mrs BogeauS, as Ethelind Terry, ap-
peared in Chicago last Winter with a
Ziegfeld show and met Bogeaus, to
whom she was married after a short
courtship.
Police said Bogeaus was in financial
difficulties and that he recently re-
turned from California, where. they
said. his indebtedness was increased on
real estate holdings.
The Bogeaus' reported early Monday
that they had been robbed by two
young men who apparently followed
them from the Frolics Cafe, on Twenty
second street, to the Northside Apart
ment at 444 St. James place, which
Bogeaus owns.
Says He Knows One Robber.
The robbers held them up inside
the hotel lobby, Bogeaus said. After
stripping bracelets and rings from Mrs.
Bogeaus the men fed. Bogeaus said
he recently had met one of the rob-
bers, but refused to reveal his name.
BogolowSki was arrested when 1t was
learned that Peter Miller, night clerk
in the hotel. had been hired by Bcgeaus
several days ago upon Bogolowski's
recommendation.
BogolowSki's police record dates back
to 1918 and includes charges of rob-
berry, one of forgery and one of mur-
der. He was twice convicted on the
murder charge, but the verdict each
time was reversed and the case re-
manded by the State Supreme Court.

RUM DEATH HEARING
IN NEW YORK HALTED
County Authorities at Plattsburgh
Seek to Determine Immunity
Right of U. S. Agents.

BY the Associated Press
PLATTSBURGH, N. Y, June 25.--A
coroner's hearing on the shooting of
Arthur Gordon, alleged smuggler. came
TO halt last night. a few hours after
it had started, while county authorities
thumbed law books to determine the
degree of immunity possessed by Fed
eral officers summoned to an inquest.
The latest cause in Clinton Countys
activity against border patrolmen said
by their superiors to have been involved
IN the shooting of Gordon. resulted from
the declination Of two officers to testify
on the grounds that it might tend to
ineriminate them and from the refusal
of John c. Tllloch, customs collector at
Ogdensburg, to produce the report
made to him OF the shooting.
Tulioch repeated the statement made
last week, which, in substance, said
Gordon was shot accidentally by W. j.
CheathaIn while attempting to escape
from Cheatham and F. L, Coveney near
MooerS.

DAWES DRY STAND
AROUSES LONDON
Diplomats and American Col.
ony in Lively Discussion
of Liquor Ban.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 25.-Ambassador
Charles G.. Dawes intimation that he
will not serve liquor at the ambassa-
dorial residence in Princes Gate was
today the subject Of lively discussion
in diplomatic circles and the American
colony of London.
The official residence Of the Ameri-
can Ambassador is certainly the only
dry embassy home In London and AM
bassador Dawes action In esehewing
alcoholic beverages Is departure from
the rule Of all American ambassadors
before him.
Among members of the embassy staff
the dry move Is regarded as simply an
expression Of the Ambassadors personal
attitude.
Il never served alcohol In my home
IN Washington or In my home any
where before that, and I see no reason
why ] should change now that I am In
London" Ambassador Dawes explained.
1t is not considered likely that he
will seek to impose his own rule on
members OF the embassy staff for their
own private homes. British prohibition
advocates found much to elate them
In his attitude, which swings the Ameri-
can embassy in London into the dry
column along with the British embassy

at the American embassy this morning

credited to Great Britain and the other

Dry Law Action 'at His Discretion >
State Department SAYS.

By the Associated Press. 30
Ofncials of the State Department said
today that any action Ambassador
Dawes or any other American diplomat
abroad might take To dry up his en-
bassy was entirely within his own dis
cretion
The question Of serving Intoxicating
beverages in American missions In for
egn countries has long been debated
one and many letters of inquiry have
been received at the State Department
from dry-law advocates on the subject.
Charles Evans Hughes, when Secre-
tary OF State, stated in a letter to a
United States Senator that he consid-
cred the privilege of liquors being served
In American missions abroad to be one
within the rights Of the diplomats.
Hughes View Quoted.
Mr.. Hughes argued that the Volstead
act did not prohibit the use of intoxi-
eating liquors legally acquired. Since
the liquors which are served in Amer
ican embassies and legations are legally
acquired. their use. he contended. could
not rightfully be prohibited by this Gov
ernment.
The State Department In responding
to letters from private individuals since
that time has followed a similar. trend
The department also has pointed to
the case of the Cunard Steamship Co.
Ltd, VS.. Mellon, in 1928, in which the
Supreme Court of the United States
held that the term territory" in the
phrase of the dry act meant 1.-The region
al areas-of land and adjacent waters
over which the United States claims
and exercises dominion and control as
| sovereign power"
Department Accepts Ruling.
The department has believed this
ruling and subsequent ruling appeared
to dispose of the question Of applying
the dry. measures beyond the territorial
| limits Of the United States.
No information on the matter has
been received by the department from
| Mr. Dawes. So far as is known here
! officially. this would be the first in
stance in which an American diplomat
/ abroad had decided to not serve any
| intoxicating beverages in his mission
It was emphasized, however, that some
diplomats might have foregone theii
/! privilege without having made public
announcement Of their action.

REBELS ANNOUNCE ATTACK.
Claim Garlic Willing to Surrender
City to Attackers.

lily W htt6CACfes
NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico. March
20 @.-Revolutionary headquarters
here this morning announced that the
rebel army, under Gems. Francisco r.
Manzo and Ramon F. Iturbe, had
stormed Mazatlin, strategic west coast
city Of Mexico.
The announcement here, given out by
Gen. Francisco Borquez, did not make
known any details Of the reported at
tack on Mazatlin or its outcome. Bor-
uuez also announced that headquarters
had received wireless messages from
american vessels" In the Maxatlin har-
Dor saying that Col. Jaime Garlic. who
was entrenched in the city with 1000
soldiers, was willing to surrender the
city to the attackers"
The revolutionaries here did not state
BY what means Garlic had made
known his alleged desire to surrender,
nor did they reveal the names OF the
vessels from which the messages were
said to have been sent.
Although the destruction Of railroad
property in the vicinity Of Mazatlin has
been reported, rebels were said to have
made some repairs. Possession OF the
city would give the rebels rail head,
and, in the absence of federal troops
to the immediate south, fairly free
path toward Guadalajara.
Manzo and Iturbe were said to have
about 1000 men.
The attack on the border city Of
Naco. east of here, promised yesterday
by the rebel leaders, had failed to ma
terialize this morning. Three columns.
however, were said to be advancing upon
the town under the command OF rebel
leaders.
Naco is held by 1900 loyal troops un-
der Gen. Lucas Gonzalez, and they are
firmly er1trenched.
Revolutionary headquarters said one
column Of rebels moving toward Eaco
had stopped at Santa Cruz. 70 miles
west of the objective, to repair rail-
road bridge. Another rebel force was
declared to have been halted at Del
Rio, 81 miles distant, and still another
at Cananea. 40 miles away.
The revolutionaries at Del Rio and
Cananea were reported TO be waiting
for the force at Santa Cruz to join
them.
Orders for an advance upon Mace
from the east by troops under Gen
Ramon Yucupicio at Aqua Prieta were
reported to have been countermandec
pending the resumption of the advance
from the south and west.

said that schools in rural sections Of
the States Of Guanajuato and Michoa-
can, short distance to the west Of
Mexico City, had been forced to close
because of the activities of rebel bands.
A government spokesman explained
the diversion of Gales troops to the
State of Sinaloa as part of the federal
generalissimo's strategy in what was
termed the third phase of the war"
The first phase was said to have
ended yesterday with execution OF Gen.
Jesus M. Aguirre in Vera Cruz after his
activities there ceased to be a menace
two weeks ago. The second phase was
described as having ended with capture
Of Torreon.
Gales Has $4,000 Troops.
Now it is said the $4,000 troops under
Gen. Gales and Gen. Juan Andrea
Almazan will operate northward from
Torreon and attempt to drive the rebel
troops into the State of Sonora, while
the smaller army of Gen. CardenaS will
attempt to drive the rebel coast army
Sonora, combining the revolution to that
state. There, somewhat lengthy mop
ping up process might be necessary to
secure an ultimate government victory.
There was general belief here that
Gen. EScobar will very shortly engage
the Gales troops in battle, probably at
Bachimba Pass, Just south of Chihuahua
City. There was too much respect for
the insurgent leader military capacity
to doubt that he would abandon his
cause without real battle

Torreon to Zacatecas, thence back to
Irapuato, and then by way of Guadala-
lara and Topic. faced the troops of Gen.
Cardenas before they could reach the
present zone of West Coast activities.
It was not considered probable that
the federal general would attempt to
lessen this distnace by leaving the rail-
road and cutting across the mountains
latter route would be many hundred
miles shorter.
Aguirre Counsels Slayers.
The details of the execution yesterday
morning of Gen. Aguirre were published
In an official bulletin.
As he faced the firing squad he said:
"At this solemn moment, when am
going to die, I wish to be an example
for the army. I die TRANQUILITY, filled
with the knowledge that did what
believed my duty but counsel all not
to follow the course that have. Now,
boys, shoot here covering his heart
with his hand. Don't hit my face"
It was learned that Gen. Aguirre was
entirely alone and on foot when he was
captured.
