BIG SHIPMENT OF LIQUOR
FROM MARYLAND SEIZED
West Virginia Authorities Grab
Clarksburg- Bound Cargo

The second large consignment OF
liquor destined for Clarksburg and
environs to fall into officers hands
was seized Thursday morning about
8 o'clock on the Northwestern turn
pike, east of Grafton at Thornton
bridge, and Frank friedman and Rus
sell Romano, both of Clarksburg, were
lodged in the Grafton Jail.
In the Ford car which the raiding
officers blocked across the highway
were three 10-gallon kegs of moon
shine. Clarence Duckworth, State
prohibition officer, State Trooper H,
K. Debendarfer and Constable Joe
Bolinger made the seizure.
The officers waited more than an
hour for the oncoming car, on which
a tip had been received about mid
night. Because of the narrow one
way bridge, alleged accomplices of the
runners were unable to pass the raid
ers and get word of the trap to Ro-
mano and friedman, the constable
said.
Cargo Taken on at Maryland Line
1t was learned that the cargo was
taken on near the West Virginia Gar
rett county line, which is said to be a
frequent source of supply for the sec
ton of Clarksburg and Grafton. Both
the liquor and car were confscated
and the men lodged in Jail.
State agents in West Virginia made
their first big haul late Monday night
when the seized a Chevrolet coach
near Thornton, with a cargo of 40 gal
Ions. Two men arrested were taken
to Fairmont Jail for a hearing before
U. S. Commissioner Eddy. The liquor
is said to have had it's origin also in
Maryland.

EXPLANATION OF YESTERDAYS CARTOON
Woman Thinks Husband in Trance-Really Dead

London, Sept. 20 (Rl-The Lon- don Daily News today said that Dr. William Teasdale Wilson, 79, sat dead in his home at New Milton, near Lymington, for week while his wife left him un- disturbed, believing that he was in a spiritualistic trance.
 Dr. Wilson, who spent much of his life in America, was an en- thusiastic spiritualist and accord ing to friends he was apt to go into frances and remain in that condition for long time.
 He had developed spiritualism to a very high plane" a friend said. He had passed beyond the puny spirits with whom English spiritualists say they get in touch, and he claimed to make contact with the more refined and loftier spirits"
 The autopsy Friday revealed that Wilson died Sept. 13. His widow refused to talk but his friends are not surprised that she thought him in a trance and wait ed for him to come around.

imports has been made in recent months from several angles, but so far unsuccessfully. Importations of lumber and pulpwood were sus- pended under the clause prohibiting the importation of convict-made goods but the orders were rescinded on the ground that the evidence was not conclusive. The anti-dumping provisions which permit an embargo of goods sold below cost are avail able, but so far there has been great difficulty in ascertaining Russian costs of production in view of the absence of diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries.
 The textile syndicate admitted the short selling, Hyde said, after an extended investigation by the agri- culture department, set in motion by rumors which gained circulation in newspaper articles.
 This inquiry" we wired Bunnen, revealed beyond all question of doubt the heavy short selling of wheat upon the Chicago market by the Russian government.
 No Question of Sales
 There can be no question that this selling has contributed to the fall in the price of wheat and to the injury of American farmers now en- gagged in their intensive marketing season.
 Obviously it would be impossible for Soviet Russia to deliver grain in Chicago over our tariff of 42 cents bushel. l should be glad to know from you what provision your ex- change has made or can make for the protection of our American farmers from such activities.
 While foreign dealing on Ameri- can exchanges is not uncommon, the entry of the market by a foreign government is unprecedented. How ever, Russian foreign business is a government monopoly.
 Hyde expressed the hope that the | Chicago exchange itself would be able to make regulations "guaran- toeing fair price for the American crop"

 In the two days of Rosh Hashon- ah solemn services are held in the synagogues. The outstanding ele- ment of the services is the blowing of the Shofar, which heralds the be- ginning of the Jewish religious year.
 The Shofar is kind of trumpet. usually made of the horn of ram. In Bible times important and SOL emn occasions were proclaimed by means of blowing the Shofar.

 The Times says the communist party officials here were bitterly opposed to any of the defendants leaving this country and that the five men defed the party orders and raised the money to defray the eX- penses of their trip after refusing the party's request to submit their cases in writing to the comintern in Moscow After a delay in Berlin, they received assistance from the International Rote Hilfe Unterna- tional Red Aid) which cared for them despite the protest of the In ternational Labor Defense in New York.
 In Moscow, the five defendants split into two groups, each present. | ing a petition to the comintern. Miller. Harrison and McGinnis ask ed the Red leaders for permission l to remain in Russia and to approve their action in jumping bail, while Beal and Hendricks petitioned for approval of their desire 10 return to this country and begin serving | their sentences
 Urges Men Sent Back
 IL is understood a representative of the American communist party was sent to Moscow to plead with the comintern to send the men back on the ground that forfeiting the | bail would be disastrous to the cause of radicalism in this country.
 The comintern finally ruled that no refugees from capitalist injus- tice" would be turned out of Sow { Russia if they wished to use it as Q haven against "the oppressive acts of the capitalist courts"
 Beal and Hendricks after refusing to remain in Russia found them selves without funds to pay their passage home and friends in this country cabled the necessary ex- | penses.

it." one of the gunmen yelled and stepped behind Young to use hls body as a shield.
 Fienello attempted to fire his gun, but it jammed. The man behind Young opened fire with two guns killing the agent. Fienello was shot seven times.
 City and state police were hurried to the brewery with tear gas bombs and riot guns fearing the attackers might entrench themselves in the place, but they had fled in automo- piles after disarmng the agent guarding the entrance.
 Detective Wounded Also
 Later Police Detective George Craig was slightly wounded in the neck by a bullet fired through window while he was searching the place. No one was found in the house.
 The brewery is in the Union square district in the heart Of Eliza beth. The plant covers two' city blocks and is one of the oldest in the state.
 Dry agents raided the Peter Ere dit city brewery here last Tuesday, dumping 244,750 gallons of beer. The federal men declared that dur ing that raid gangsters set upon a federal agent guard and stopped the flow of beer into the streets.
 John J. Dunne, who some time ago announced his retirement from the New Jersey beer racket, was re leased in $l0,000 bail yesterday on charges of manufacturing liquor maintaining a nuisance and inter fering with federal officers
 The federal men asserted he was the leader Of the seven men who invaded the brewery, but Dunne sad he was the owner of the place ana in company of two men and his at torney had merely called to ask the agents to stop the destruction Of the beer.
 The raid at the Rising Sun brew cry was made under the direction of Prohibition Administrator John D. Pennington of Philadelphia, who has Jurisdiction over New Jersey. It took place without the knowledge of Alexander P. McPhee, deputy ad- ministrator at Newark, iIr immedl- ate charge of the district.
 Gang Followed Raiders
 Federal authorities said they be- lieved the gangsters had followed the raiders from Philadelphia and attempted to waylay them, as one of two cars in which they set out had been forced off the road by an other automobile which escaped.
 Administrator Pennington said; Agent Fienello was one of my bravest and best officers. His loss will be keenly felt by the depart ment. I hope the citizens of New Jersey will take corrective measures against the gangster domination or the beer racket.
 ''Fienello could not be bought and I feel sure the gangsters set about purposely to murder him. ealing him by name before firing.'
 The agents destroyed 100000 gal Ions of beer and opened a safe which among other things gave forth a list of the automobile regis tration numbers of all prohibition agents working out of Newark. The administrator said he believed there would be little difficulty in finding the identity of the owners of the plant.
 Little significance was attached by the agents to the arrests Of the three workers, John Howatt, New ark; John Fox, Elizabeth, and Aug ust Gobel, Maplewood.
