RECHABITES ASK
DRY. LAW AGAIN
Best Method of Liquor Control
Ever Devised, Says Con-
vention.

Declaring that national prohibition
was the best method of liquor control
ever devised, and a success, although
administered by its enemies, the Inde-
pendent Order Of Rechabites of
America, in its eighty-second annual
convention here last week, demanded
the restoration of the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution, with
improvements.
They propose that neither the man.
ufacture, importation, expectation,
transportation, sale, barter, giving
away, using, owning nor possession Of
intoxicating liquors for beverages, nor
permission to any one to produce or
sell preparations, materials or inple-
mentS for making alcoholic beverages
be allowed in this country.
The return from prohibition to L.
cense has brought with it every evil
for which liquor is responsible, they
believe, and, declaring that the prom
ises and predictions of the repeal"
forces have failed to materialize, they
are setting to work for another un-
conditional victory for teetotalism.
Descendants of Jonadab, son Of
Rechab. the original Rechabites were
pledged against the use Of intoxicants,
and even against the culture of the
vine The Independent Order of Rech-
abites, founded in England in 1885
and in America In 1912, has been con-
ducting its temperance campaign for
nearly hundred years. 1t has no
connection with the ancient Hebrew
family, except in aim.

She disappeared Saturday after

her accounts of being kidnapped and
tormented were purely imaginary.
She told the story of the kidnapping
at Decatur, ILL.,, where she said she
was released June %. On August 3
she was found bound and gagged in
her apartment. Her hair had been
cut of and placed in sack at her
side. She told police her tormentors

friend, w. Lee Vaughn, a theater

authorities later said she admitted
making up the stories in an effort to

ON FUNERAL TRAIN
Bodies of At Victim S
Brought From Sea Girt
to Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., September 10.
The Moro Castles cruise ended
here today on q funeral train.
Forty-seven of the dead-27 OF
them yet to be identified-were
brought from the militia camp at Sea
Girt and carried on their cots and
in their white sheets to Waters under
taking establishment.
The train came over the tracks OF
the New York 8 Long Branch Rail-
road at o funeral pace-20 miles an
hour. It left Camp Moore at Sea
Girt shortly before 10 o'clock last
night, arriving here at midnight.
Orders Slow Pace.
The slow pace was ordered by M L.
McIleny, superintendent Of the road.
McIleny was passenger on the
burned Moro Castle, and was rescued.
The funeral trip represented the
shifting of the scene Of poignant
tragedy.
From early yesterday until shortly
before the bodies were removed from
the erstwhile camp restaurant Of the
militia, people came in groups of two,
three and four to pick out their dead.
There were four rows Of cots in the
restaurant, 18 cots to row, a body on
each cot, covered with white sheet.
Typical was this scene:
A woman and an escort would enter.
A Red Cross nurse would guide them
down the aisle, at the feet Of the dead.
At each cot they would stop while a
colored soldier lifted the sheet OF
each to expose the head.
mo" A shake Of the head.
Another.
mo" Quietly.
Another.
"oh, oh, that's him, that's himl"
Quickly the soldier would cover the
face. The Red Cross nurse would
put her arms around the agrieved,
comfort her and escort her to a little
side office for q drink Of water and
q brief rest on a chair.
The cots were side by side, touch
ing. Sometimes q mother picked out
a son, a wife her husband. Men
were no less affected.
NUNS Oub Weepinks
A man identifying his younger
brother ran out of the place weeping:
And he was only % years old"
A colored militiaman, guard with
a rifle on his shoulder, left his post
to comfort him and to guide him
to a secluded place, where he might
have an undisturbed rendezvous with
grief.
Sometimes greif was made even
more bitter because of uncertainty,
because beneath the white sheets there
was not the face that was sought.

NEW YORK, September io.--The
New York Post today quoted Arthur
Bagley, jr., seaman on the Moro
Castle, as declaring that intoxicated
passengers Tipping lighted cigarettes
into wastepaper basket caused the
fire which swept the liner.
Bagley, the Post said, first discov-
cred the blaze, and with the aid Of
another seaman, Jerry Dunn, tried to
extinguish 1t.
Jerry Dunn and were walking on
B deck shortly before am. Saturday
morning" the Post said in its inter-
view with Bagley.
I'VE passed through a writing room
- and found group Of drunken
passengers tossing lighted cigarettes
into a wastepaper basket. 1t was
some sort of game.
I'VE asked them to stop and they
started to argue Some wanted to
quit and some didn't. We left them
to look for the steward and could not
find him."
Bagley and Dunn returned to find
the carpet blazing, the interview con-
tinued.
The Post quoted Bagley as saying
the use of inflammable cleaning ma
terials in the carpet and failure OF
water pressure were responsible for
the rapid spread of the flames.

vessel when the Grew attempted to
fight the fire that swept the ship.
He also intends to tell them, he
said, that crew members were ordered
into life boats and lowered away ahead
Of passengers; that weekly fire drills
were not properly carried out; that the
fire had spread over the midship sec
ton before any alarm was sounded.
He said the Moro Castle had an
other small fire two weeks ago, the
passengers unknowing. It was put
out, he said, by the three night watch
men and the fourth mate. Only some
tar paper in the hold burned.
Crew Lay in Bunks.
We had fire drill every Sunday aft
ernoon," he said, but only two sta
tions responded to it. They we're the
stations on the fore deck and on the

see and be impressed.

"All this time, too, the fire alarm

Warns said he heard suggestions
to beach the ship.
From my experience on the Jersey
coast" he asserted, II knew If we
beached the ship every one would have
been lost"
Eyes were wet in the sitting hear

to get out the body of his lifelong
friend, the ships captain.

down again, but his voice broke and
tears flowed down his weather lined

Beaten back by the flames in his
attempt to bring up the body of his

search for passengers.

related.

CLUE IN TORSO FIND
DISCARDED BY CORONER
Needs Head or Arms to Decide on
Identity of Victim, Says
Ohio Oficial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 10.
A possible clue to the death Of q
woman whose torso was found on the
beach of Lake Erie here was discarded
by County Coroner A. J. Pearse to-
night after he examined q piece Of
flesh found near Geneva on -the-Lake
and found it was not the flesh of q
human being.
Pearse said he now saw little pos
sibility of police establishing identity
of the murdered woman unless the
head or the arms were found.
The piece Of flesh, found in the
tray of trunk, was examined by de-
tectives who said they believed it was
part of the woman's body. The dis
covery was made by Charles H. Jae,
26, Of Geneva on -the-Lake, who was
walking on the beach.
