THREE HEAVY BLASTS CLOSE MOUTH OF MINE, Most Serious Dynamiting in Sev- eral Months Occurs in Connels- ville Strike Region. UNIONTOWN, Pa.. October 7.—The most merfous dynamiting in the Con- nellsville coks strike reglon in sev- eral months occurred this morning when three heavy blasts closed the pit mouth of the Provant mine near Masontown, destroyed the tinple and demolished the fanhouse. Plans had heen made to re-open the mine next Monday with non-union labor. i The mine, owned by the Provant i Coal Company. had not operated sinoe the strike of miners was called April 1, last. For several days work- men have been cleaning up, and it Was announced that forty miners would be put to work Monday. Guards at the plant reported that the first blast shook houses in Mason- town, about two miles away. A moment later the tipple went up and then the fanhouse collapsed, when a heavy charge of dynamite let go. This fs the second dynamiting in Fayette oounty since Sherif I 1.

The Supreme Court therin as held that it is not material that the liquors may not be intended for beverdge uses within the United States. The ruling published yesterday was in answer to a request from Secre- tary Mellon, dated June 23, 1922, for advice as to whether the practice selling liquors on American ships on the high seas was permissible, and, further, whether possession of ‘intox- icating liquors by foreign ships in American waters was in yiolation of the prohibition laws. i Mr. Daugherty replied to the first question in.the negative and to the second in the affirmative.

Willie Stevens, eccentric brother of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rector. waa returned to the Hall home about 3 o'clock this morn- ing after 4 lengthy quiz at the hands of dotectives who took him from the Hall home late in the afternoon. ol Swartzkopf, who directed Stevens’ ex- amination, declined to make any co. ment today when he returned to New Brunswick. He admitted, however, that Stevens had been clos, tioned about his movements on night of the killing. Women Agree on Story. The state troopers interv! ed mev- enteen members of the chusch cholr, and all told the same storv. All said that they had noticed Dr. Hall and Mrs. Milis were together a grat deal but had thought little about 1t, b omuse the rector was kind to all of the members of his congregation, The troopers then learned that ail the women questioned had met last Friday night after choir rehearsal and the agreed upon the story to ba told in| case they wera questioned. By an_intensive investigation of several of the earllest clues discovered in. the double shooting state an county authoritles announced they had ‘constructed a framework on which they expected the entire case to hinge. ‘This framework. the authoritles sald, consists of four cardinal ques- tions to be put to Mrs. Hall and Jam Mills. The first of the questions which the authorities say they wish to clear up 18 the exact number of times Mills mét Mrs. Hall on the day before the discovery of the bodles of the rector and Mrs. Mills in the Somerset county orchard. Mills had sald that he met Mrs. Hall four times on this day, first early in the morning at the church, twice at his own home, and once at her home, tended to American vessels on the high seas, since its terms are abso- lutely general and have no limits of any wort, ¢ ¢ ‘It 18 & long established principle of municipal and international law that a nation has the right to make and enforce laws covering its terri- tarial waters as well as its land, Clearly Vielation of Law. “If, then, the bringing in of liquors by forelgn vessels, as ship stores or otherwise, constitutes & transporta- tion or possession contrary to the 1 elghteenth amendment and the na- tional prohibition act, it is clearly a violation of the law that no execu- tive or administratiye officer of the ernment has the power to permit. Under the reasoning of the court in the Walker and Anchor line cases, it is no argument for the legality of foreign ships possessing and trans- porting intoxicating liquors in and across our waters, that they do not intend to use the liquors until after leaving the jurisdiction of the United States, “Are we then to argue that such in- fiexible provisions of 1aw. declared by our Supreme Court as the constitn- tional policy of our country shall ap- ply to our own citizens, but be &ban- doped when we deal with ships of a foreign nation? Repealed Prior Treaty. he court carefully considered this whole question "in the Walker and Anchor line cases and went %o far as to hold that the eighteéenth amend- ment and the national prohibition act repealed a prior existing treaty with Great Britnin. “Prior to the sweeping and com- prehensive construction placed upon the prohibition law in those cases, it might possibly have been arguable whether liquors forming a part of the ship stores on vessels within terri- torial waters might be regarded as an implied exception to the national prohibition act. | Whatever doubts that may have previously existed have been swept away by the lan- g:m of the majority opinion in 080 casea.” Mrs. Hall, detectives maid, ham told them thaf she saw Milis but once— and this was at the church, The second question concerns the statement of Willlam Phiilips, night watchman of the New Jersey Sta College for Women, that the woman in the polo coat who entered the Hall homé early on the morning after the double shooting was unaccompanied. Mrs. Hall, who has admitted she the woman to whom Phillips refer has declared that she was accome panled by her brother, Willlam Btevens. Find “Love Fence.” The third question is why Mrs. Hall falled to make any declaration of the large sum of money found In Hall's home, and the fourth is why neither she nor Mills in thalr ques- tioning by Somerset county author- ities made any statement of tha close friendship and interest which the rector and Mrs, Mills had shown in each other, The most important new discov which has besn made in tha sys matic questionin church choir and persons living nesr the church was the finding of wha detectives called the “love fence.” This was & special chicken and barbed wire fence which Hall ordersd Mills to build about a shed in the rear of the church. Detectives safd they were informed by persons liv. ing near the church that oh occasions they had seen Hall and Mrs, Mills leave the church meparately. door and o to this stied.
