GRANDJURY FORDL. House Approves Attorney General’s Proposal for Pros- ecuting War Graft Cases. Authorization for the Attorney Genefal to call an additional grand jury for the District of Columbia was approved by the House late yes- terday under suspension of the Tules. It was explained by. Chairman Vol- stead of the judiclary committee "that this measure was urged by the At- torney General. especially because there are a number of cases origi- nating during the war that are de- manding attention. “~The legislation already has passed the Senate, buf, some, House committee ainendments must be reconciled in conference. It was emphasized that>this would mean two grand juries sitting at the me time, each with jurisdiction er the whole District and the same kind and character ef crime.

The_ United States Supreme Court held in an opinion yesterday that liquor while within the United States in transit from one country to an- other, can be seized under the pro- hibition act. The opinion of the court was de- livered by Justice Holmes. who re- ferred to the danger of (leakage In transit” and emphasized the purpose of the prohibition amendment and the Volstead act to prevent the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, but asserting that “this country does not undertake to regulate the habits of ghe‘ gcoble elsewhere,” suggested. This view was not shared, however, by Justice McKenna, who dellvered the dissénting opinion, in which Justi~es Day and Clarke -joined. He assemed in judicial terms that the United States was trying to run the universe, and. that it was breaking solemn treaty obligations for the pur- ol 4 pose of enforcing' prohibition laws, y “At this time, when the nations of -~ the earth are asseémbling in leagues and conferences: to -assure one an- other that diplo; macy 18 not deceit and that there is 4 security in the 03 3 3 laration of treaties, .not 1 THE more you are, the more our Meadow . ‘.'E‘Q:':u ‘material ::tnnl:n. °§|t.’€ o H St el engage!

A 4,300-pound bell, the largest of fifteen In a set of chimes to be placed in the belfry of the Church of the Epiphany as a memorial to the late Rev. Dr. Randolph Harrison McKim, pastor of the church for thirty-two years, was hoisted to the steeple early this afternoon, while hundreds of downtown spectators watched the creaking block and tackle raise the bell to the niche prepared for it. Several of the bells place. When completed, concert, is to be given, probably during the latter part of this week or early next week. ~ May Be Heard Five Miles. The chimes, will have an ordinary sound-carrying range of two miles and five miles with a favorable wind. On frosty mornings, however, when conditions are auspiclous the chimes will waft melody over a radlus of fifteen or twenty miles, according to experts. B The bells.were cast at Watervliet, . Y. They are the work of a firm of artists in chimes which has been conducting this business in the United States for ninety-six years, and the great grandson of the founder of the industry is in Wash- ington personally overseeing the in- stallation of the chimes. The largest bell, which will have a deep. verberating tome, capable of reaching the lowest notes of “The Star Spangled Banner,” is Inscribed “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men.

The bells will be capable of playing virtually all of the patriotic airs and anthems, and will be used especially for solemn ceremonies, If ever again in this city, it was stated today, there is another public ceremonial such as attended the burial of the unknown soldier in Arlington last_ Armistice day, the chimes will chant their dirge as’ the procession passes, and here- after on Christmas day they will send reverberating carols over the down- town section of the clty. Their music also will be heard on Memorial day, it is expected, and on July Fourth, when appropriate selections will be given. MORE RELICS RECEIVED | BY MT.
