Barton, League Chairman, Asserts
Bishop Was Misunderstood.

GREENSBORO, NJ c., January %
P).-Neither the Anti-Saloon League
nor any other temperance and prohlol-
ton organization will give countenance
TO a prohibition referendum, DR.. A. j.
Barton OF Wilmington, chairman OF the
national organizations Executive Com
mittee, declared here yesterday. He
spoke at the sixteenth biennial conYen-
ton of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon
League.
Dr. Barton's declaration was made In
answer to recent dispatches quoting
Bishop Ernest G. Richardson OF Phlla-
delphia, recently elected head OF the
National AntiSaloon League, as seeing
no objection to a prohibition releren-
dunn If the vote is confined to the sep
arate States and not made Nation-Wlde.
CauStic reference was made IN III.
sBarton'S address to letter OF congratu-
lation addressed by Henry H. Curran
president of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, to BlShop
Richardson on your plea for referen-
DUN by the States
Il am sure Bishop Richardson was
misunderstood and misquoted, asserted
DR.. Barton. Bishop Richardson Is
new man in the national work OF the
league and inadvertently he might nave
used words which would have been mis-
understood or distorted
AT any rate, I am sure he Is per
fectly sound at heart on the prlnclpIeS
and policies of the Anti-Saloon League.
Mr.. Curran has his labor for his pains
in writing the bishop letter Oh COLI
graduation.
Doubtless Mr.. Curran knew this IN
advance. 1t Is in perfect accord win
his spirit and methods and with the
spirit and methods of his organization
that he should have offered such an
affront to Bishop Richardson ana tne
league"

Investigators have learned where these
weapons were bought and they are now
on the trail of the purchasers
The unauthorized barrel of grease ar
rived at the prison a few days before
receipt of similar consignment that
had been ordered through regular
channels. Much of the inquiry has
centered around the shipment of the
gun-loaded barrel.
Apparently some one outside the
prison learned of the order for grease
and substituted the arms shipment
which was forwarded to the prison shoe
factory ahead Of the regular grease
supply
The telegram concerning AUNT En-
ma" was dispatched simultaneously with
the shipment OF the guns. A previous
telegram, naming several of Aunt
Emmas" supposed relatives" is
thought to have referred to the success
full purchase Of the guns.
Staff Changes Made.
Mr. Bates said the guns were received
at the prison only three days before the
dash for liberty was made. He refused
to confirm a report a guard was in
volved in the conspiracy, but pointed
out several administrative changes al
ready have been made. One guard
committed suicide few days after he
break and another was arrested re-
Gently on charge of receiving con-
trahand." In the latter case, Mr..
Bates explained, the 'contraband" was
money, not guns.
II further administrative changes are
made. 1t was learned. they will be based
not on conspiracy charges but on laxity
in enforcing discipline.
Supt. Bates declined to discuss
whether such shake-up would affect
Warden White, who is slowly recover
ing from gunshot injuries to his arm
received when he escaped from his
captors.
That depends on his condition" Mr.
Bates commented. He is still in the
hospital"

This corporation is a Super-bank.

ATTACK ON VERDICT
IN YORK CASE VAIN
Claim of Inconsistency in
Convictions Rejected by
u. S. Supreme Court.

There was no inconsistency in the
verdict of a District Supreme Court
jury which convicted three colored men
of first-degree murder for the Staying
of Lamar w York, a prohibition agent,
in April 1890. the United States Su-
preme Court ruled today.
The court heard argument by John
H. Burnett of counsel for the defend
ants. John Borum, John Logan and
Milton Guy, for about Is minutes. Chief
Justice Hughes then interrupted Bur
nett and informed him the court de-
sired to hear no further remarks from
either side.
While formal decision remains to
be entered in the records, the Chief
Justice left no doubt the ruling would
be contrary to the request of counsel
for the defendants
Acquitted as Trigger Man.
Mr.. Burnet argued the jury's verdict
was inconsistent, because Borum, Logan
and Guy on separate counts, were in
dividuallv acquitted of holding the
pistol with which York was killed and
yet were collectively found guilty of
shooting the agent. on another count
The defense attorney had barely fin
ished outlining the legal technicalities
involved before Associate Justice Nc
Reynolds inquired whether he believed
1t consistent for a jury to possess a
reasonable doubt on three or more
counts and yet be certain on the
charges incorporated in an additiona!
count. Mr. Burnett was attempting to
explain his position on. this phase of
the issue when he was halted, and the
case disposed of.
Chief Justice Hughes explained the
only issue involved had been definitely
settled in a recent decision in the case
OF James Dunn, defendant in a whisky
case, who was acquitted Of sale and
possession, and convicted on the same
set Of facts of maintaining a nuisance.
1t had been argued in that case that
the verdict was inconsistent. but the
Supreme Court ruled consistency is
not necessary.
Goes Back to Appeals Court.
James A. O'Shea. chief of counsel for
the defendants, and William H. Collins,
assistant United States attorney, who
conducted the prosecution in the lower
court, were not heard today
The case went to the Supreme Court
when the Court Of Appeals asked in
structions on whether the conviction on
the fourth count could be sustained in
view of the acquittal on the first three
counts of the indictment. The Court
OF Appeals now must rule against the
defendants.

yictions."

him the direct question: Do you favor
the bill?'
He stated that he did not favor it,
but thought he would vote for it. He
said he was afraid to vote against 1t.
The Democrats in Congress did not
favor the bill, and yet large majority
of them voted for it. The very fact
that between so and 100 amendments
were offered is conclusive proof that
its provisions did not meet with the ap-
proval of the members of Congress"
