IifLperall on Marna1h

Boston. Jan. (CP)-The shoot ing by coast guards of three alleged rum smugglcrs off Newport, k. l., early last Sunday is bound to direct ly affect the Massachusetts prohibi- ton enforcement situation, accord ing to John F. Fitzgerald, who is determined to run for the democrd- tic nomination for governor on il "wet' ticket.
 Fitzgerald, who served two terms as Boston's mayor and who unsuc- , cessfully opposed the late Henry Cabot Lodge in the 1916 United States senate contest. said that in cidents like the Black Duck rum ! killings" are bound to turn the people against prohibition and prohibition enforcement officers
 The gubernatorial aspirant. who ! has been colorful and prominent i figure in Massachusetts politics for more than 3o years. made known his 1 views on the Newport case and the | platform on which he will seek Of 1 fee, shortly after Governor Frank G. Allen announced that he was unai- i terably opposed to repeal of, the state prohibition enforcement act. That Newport incident was an 1 atrocity.' Fitzgerald said. The 1 liquor that the Black Duck was car rying wasn't being transported for the benefit of the average man. The average man cant afford to pay the i price.
 Says Officials Drink 'LiGuor is smuggled for the bCne-
 fit of members of the national cab inct, United States senators, govcr- ncys and the like - men of Wcalt h and power who can afford it." Fitzgerald suggested that the next step which might be taken by prohi- i bition enforcement officers would | be to open fire 'promiscuously" on all automobiles suspected Of carry 1 ing liquor or they might visit i hotels and restaurants and have a general slaughter
 In revealing that prohibition would be one of the principal blanks 1 in his platform as q gubernatorial candidate. Fitzgerald said:

Of "a young musk oxen, shipped from

on the steamship Bergensfjord on their
way to Alaska to replenish their kind.

MEXICO CITY, September 16.-Po-
lice today conducted an investigation of
a mysterious explosion in the Plaza de
la Constitution, which last night took
life and seriously injured IL other
persons.
The plaza was crowded with $4,000
people celebrating Mexico's independ-
ence and awaiting appearance of Presi-
dent Ortiz Rubio on a balcony of the
National Palace to repeat into the radio
microphones the "Grito de Dolores" or
Mexicos independence cry.
Suddenly the explosion occurred, pre-
cipitating the utmost excitement. Am
balances rushed the injured persons to
hospitals and calm returned. The
President appeared, rang the liberty
bell and repeated Hidalgo's independ-
ence cry, and the celebration went on as
usual, continuing until dawn.
While the general explanation Of the
explosion was that a bomb had been
thrown into the crowd of nerrymakers,
police said 1t might have occurred when
3 badly sent rocket fell into a group of
other fireworks and set them of. It
took place on the opposite side of the
plaza from the National Palace.

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF BUSES OPPOSED

Claims in New Field to

sy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The constant expansion of cross
country motor bus transportation has
imposed on the Supreme Court the
important task of rawing by decisions
in pending cases, the line between State
and Federal authority in this compare
lively new field.
Absence of congressional action in
defining this line has brought to the
highest tribunal for consideration this
Fall several cases in which the States
are guarding Zealously what they con-
tend is their right to regulate motor
traffic. On the other hand, operators
of interstate motor bus lines are show
ing a disposition to contest State regu-
lation on the ground their activities are
within the control of the Federal Gov
eminent.
Asks Bus Increase Permit.
Among the cases Of this type now
awaiting the courts attention is one
brought by the Salisbury Transportation
Co. from Ohio, where 1t operates buses
between Canton and Alliance, seeking
to have enforced an order of the Ohio
Public Service Commission permitting
1t to increase the number of BUSES 10
may operate. The lower courts decided
against any increase on the protest of a
competing electric railway.
The New Orleans ordinance requiring
automobiles operated in competition
with street railways to give indemnity
bonds is being challenged, as is the
North Carolina tax on motor vehicles
operated for hire over fixed routes not
more than so miles in length.
A case from Denver, Col, challenges
the authority of States to prohibit pri-
vate carriers by motor vehicles, who
operate under contracts, from using the
roads without obtaining a permit, TAX
ing the position that TO submit to State
control would make them public car
riers.
The North Bend Etage Line. Inc, OPP
Grating between Seattle and EaSton,
Wash, is attacking an order of the
State commission authorizing the
Washington Motor Coach Co. to oper.
ate over the same route.
Passenger Responsibility Tested.
Other types of motor vehicle opera
ton also have brought to the court
controversies which are difficult of So
luton. Important to the driver of a
private car are three cases in which
the responsibility of passengers to warn
the driver of impending danger is at
issue.
The court already has imposed on
the operators Of motor vehicles the bur-
den of stopping, looking and listening
before crossing railroads at points
where no f1agmen are maintained, and
is now being asked TO determine their
responsibility where iagmen are sta
toned.
