ENFORCE DRY LAW
AS USUAL, IS ED|CT
Attorney General Warns Ma
ton Repeal Moves Do Not
Lessen Official Zeal.

With both party platforms urging
changes in prohibition enforcement and
wet and dry organizations working to
elect this Fall members of Congress
who will represent their views, Attorney
General Mitchell today ordered the
continuation of enforcement of the law
"as it stands"
In a circular to officials of his de-
partment concerning possible econ
omies the Attorney General denied
there would be any relaxation.
Both major political parties are
pledged to submit to the people pro-
posals to amend the constitutional pro-
visions respecting the liquor traffic. /"
said Mr.. Mitchell. The suggestion has
already been openly made to the de-
partment by those who should know
better that because some changes in
the prohibition system are under dis
cussion and may be adopted, the De-
partment Of Justice should relax its
efforts to enforce the existing laws.
Such a course is unthinkable. 1t is our
duty to take the law as we find it and
enforce it as it stands.
Reminder to States.
aside from this rigid view Of official
duty, there are other reasons which
must appeal to every thoughtful citizen
truly interested in the public welfare, "
said Mr.. Mitchell. so long as the
present constitutional and statutory
provisions remain in effect, it Is i'm
possible for State governments to legal
ize and regulate liquor traffic. To re-
lax in the enforcement of the Federal
law without substitution of any lawful
State control, would produce chaos and
an orgy of uncontrolled eXcesSes. Re-
gardless of ones views on prohibition,
there should be no difference of opin-
ion on this point
Meanwhile. DR.. Daniel A. Polling said

NEW YORK, August 15.-The secu-
rites markets moved forward again to-
day. although trading was of a more
restrained character than it had been
in several days.
Despite light volume, leading stocks
moved about 81 to 81 a share higher,
and bonds made moderate progress. A
firm tone in the wheat market and
steadiness of cotton helped the move
ment in securities.
Rails led the advance, which was
marked by occasional moderate waves
of profit-taking. When Du Pont an

dividend 10 so cents from rs cents, that
issue lost So rise, and several others
receded moderately, but the list stiff
ened again later. Another moderate
selling wave appeared in the early aft

SH|NAULT SLAYER
HUNTED BY POLICE
Policeman Who Killed Bonus
Marcher Shot Down With
out Warning.

Washington police, in cooperation
with Maryland and Virginia authorities,
were making a widespread search today
for Willie Bullock 80, colored, named

jury in the Hushka Staying, was shot to
death last night as he was about to
enter Bullock's home, at 80 street, to
investigate a report that a fight was
in progress there.
Only trick of fate resulted in the
killing of Shinault, who, as driver of
first precinct scout car, would not
have entered the F street dwelling
under ordinary circumstances. But for
the Intervention of chance, his COM
panion. Pvt. Ralph D. Edwards, would
have been the target for the two bull
lets said to have been fired by Bullock.

All evening the two policemen had
worked together, Shinault driving the
automobile and Edwards acting as
emergency man After making an
emergency run to Union Station Plaza

the machine from the wrong side when
a racio message ordered him and Ed

marked, preparing to move over behind
the steering wheel.
That's all right" Edwards replied,
climbing into the drivers seat. I'll
drive this time"
Shinault leaped from the automobile
as Edwards was parking it a few doors
from Bullock's home Preparing to fol-
low, Edwards reached for his flashlight,
only to find that Shinault had taken it.

nit the disease, the bite OF an unin-
fected tick being harmless, there is no
way of telling whether a tick is infected
or not. and therefore all ticks should be
avoided
The physicians also warned parents
to keep children out of bushes, particu-
larly along river and shore resorts,
where tick infestation is heaviest.
Both children died after about two
weeks of illness, during which time they
ran high fevers, temperatures ranging
between 104 and 107, with a slight rash
breaking out after about 10 days Of
fever.
The Haas boy several times was given
blood transfusions from persons who
have had the fever in the past year.
These persons, having recovered from
the fever, are immune. and their blood
helps infected persons to throw of the
disease. The boy, however, did not
respond to these transfusions. and on

ACCORD REPORTED
Reciprocal Preference on
Farm and Industrial
Products Provided.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August l5.-
Canada and Great Britain were report
ed today to have solved most of their
important differences and virtually to
have reached an accord on a trade
agreement which would include pref
erence in Britain for Canadian farm
products and reciprocal favors by Cana
da for British iron, steel and coal.
The negotiations were shrouded in
close secrecy. but they became the chief
topic for unofficial conversation among
the delegates and observers. The finish
ing touches to the agreement were to
be applied at meeting between Premier
Bennett and Stanley Baldwin today.
Delegates estimated. however. that
with all the agreements completed. the
diversion Of trade from the United
States was not likely to reach more
than one-third of the 5000. .000,0 900 ad-
ditional business Great Britain might
expect from the dominions.
Recognizes Preference.
Under the proposed agreements with
Canada and the other dominions, Great
Britain recognizes empire preference as
a definite part of her fiscal policy.
Foodstuffs now on the free list will be
brought within the preferential field.
Subject to later changes, the tenta-
tive basis of the accord was understood
to include the following:
/. A duty OF cents a bushel on
foreign wheat, with preference Of 212
cents in favor of empire wheat.
2. A duty of Ia cents pound on
foreign lamb, mutton, pork and bacon
3. Four cents a pound on foreign
butter, as against the present duty,
approximately 2 cents pound.
4, Additional restrictions by special
order on products such as wheat and
lumber whenever the necessity arises
This was the British answer for the
demand that Britain cut down or place
an embargo on its trade with Russia
On the Canadian side the chief con-
cessions are likely to be on coal, iror
and steel. The United Kingdom would

Jury IS SELECTED
IN TRIAL Of BALL
Panel Is Sworn in Arlington
EmbezzIement Case After
Fl Are Dismissed.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, August 15-After 81 men
had been excused when they said they
had already formed opinions, a jury
was selected in Circuit Court here to-
day to try E. Wade Ball, former county
treasurer, en- charges Of feloniously mis-
using public funds.
The jurors were sworn in at ITO
o'clock, little more than three hours
after the opening of court.
Those on the jury include T. C. Car
roll, Charles Tarbutton. A. w. Adams,
John P. Mann, M. J. Dunnegan, Deets
Pickett, Livingstone Smith, Louis
Shreve, D. R. Collins, B. F. Creel, Guy
S. Zepp and Joseph c. Mcclellan.
After the jury had been impaneled,
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy adjourned
court until 2 o'clock.
Ball is being tried on an indictment
charging him with the misappropria-
ton Of $24,45429 This item is part
of an alleged total shortage of 1864 ,4O5
in his accounts.
Difficulty Was Expected.
1t had been expected that the wide
spread interest in the case and the per-
sonal popularity of the defendant would
make the selection of a jury difficult.
Judge Mccarthy examined the venire-
men closely, but excused all of those
who said they had formed a definite
opinion as to the guilt or innocence of
the defendant.
Crandal Mackey, one of the defense
attorneys. asked during the questioning
that the entire panel of jurors be dis
missed on the ground that jury could
not be picked in accordance with the
law under the indictment in its present
form He did not state specifically the
ground OF his motion, and it's was over
ruled by Judge Mccarthy.
There was some surprise when At
torney Mackey asked one of the jurors
specifically whether he thought Ball was
guilty. Ccmmonwealth's Attorney Law
renee Douglas objected to the phrase
ology OF this question. contending the
witness should be asked only whether
ne had any opinion and that he should
not be required to state whether it
was favorable to the defendant or not.
The defense insisted it was entitled to
know exactly what a jurors opinion
was, but the controversy was dropped
when the talesman, who apparently
had misunderstood the question put to
MIN, changed his reply and said he
did not have an opinion that would
require evidence to overcome.
Brother Aids in Defense.
Ball is being defended by Mackev and
his brother. former State Senator Frank
Ball. The commemorative attorney is
being assisted by Collins Denny, jr.. as
sistant to the attorney general of the
State.
Ball resigned from Office shortly after
otate AUDITORS started the investigation
which resulted in the discovery of the
alleged shortage. Charles T. Jesse was
appointed by Judge Mccarthy to fill
out the unexpired term.
Ball had served as treasurer of the
county for "a years

HIS HEALTH
IMPROVED 4OH
After Use of Kellogg's s
ALL-BRAN

IF you are constipated, read this
letter which Mr.. Murray had at
tested by Notary Public:
"Two months ago I commenced
using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN to re-
lieve constipation. | am in better
health today than l have been in
years, due to the use of your Won
derful bran. My bowels move regu-
larly, and my general health has i'm
proved 4096." George A. Murray,
288 K Street, South Boston, Mass.
Laboratory tests show ALL-BRAN
brings two things needed to correct
common constipation; "Bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines; Vitamin B to
help tone the intestinal tract. ALL
BRAN also furnishes iron for the
blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is sim
liar to that of lettuce. Inside the
body, it forms soft mass. Gently
it clears the intestines of wastes.
How much better to use ALL
BRAN than to abuse your system
with pills and drugs - often
harmful.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
overcome most types of constipa-
ton - in serious cases, with every
meal. If your intestinal trouble is
not relieved this way, see your
doctor.
Use as a cereal with milk or
cream, or in cooking. At all gro
