Prohibition Commis- sloner Haynes sald there would be no let down in prohibition enforce- ment in New York state. He said sufficient funds were available to in- crease the fleld force, but indicated that a survey to determine upon the extent of the increase would await an actual withdrawal of the state forces upon the signinlg ef the re peal act by Gov. Smith. A ohief conocern of enforcement officers was that, with the state bor- der patrol withdrawn, the ‘rum fieet,” whicih has been active off the New York and New Jersey coasts, might transfer gheir operations to Canadlan waters in the hope of find- ing eagy access for their caurgoes into New York across the international border. With the active co-operation of the coast guard service, prohibi- tion offocials belleved they were in & fair wayv ito cut off the major por- tion of New York's present liquor supply from the sea. Should the “rum fleet” transfer its base to Canadian waters it was sug- gested that there might be a re- sowal of negotiations with the Brit- ish government looking to {ts co- operation in the enforcement of the prohibition laws.

McGhee was generally ac- «cepted here as correct it was not| riously disputed that the officer was gullty of a grave indiscretion due to loss of self-control.” On the other hand, Senator Gool- vick expressed disapproval of the at- titude of Gen. Butler toward Fred- aricksburg and sald that the Marines' commandant was largely responsible Sor a situation which had been greatly magnified. He resented the boycott threat from Quantico. ‘Would Fire McGhee. M. B. Rowe, president of the Plant- ers’ Natlonal Bank, agreed with Mr. rd. It was his opinfon a man who would lose his temper long enough to strike a defenseless prisoner, who had already reached the police station, ‘was “unfit to be a member of th law enforcement body of this clty.” He asserted his bellef that McGhee should have heen promptly dismissed from the force, and declared the Ma- rines and Fredericksburg would still Le friends had such action been taken. In this oplnion Joseph M. Gold- smith, ‘a prominent merchant readily agreed. Tonight, however, tha breach be- tween Fredericksburg and Quantico was complete: diplomatic discussions were at an cnd. The marines felt that one of their number had been fll ireated, simply because he was a marine—“not good enough to as. sociate with civillans.” In_protest- ipg against this situation they have received the enthusiastic support of Gen. Butler, who has made good his promise to get justice for men in uniform by completely sealing this town to every member of the corps axcept & few men whose homes are Sn_Fredericksburg. And even they ,were mot to be seen on the streets tonight. —_— CIVILIAN DRESS ORDERED. All officers of the Navy and Marine Corps on duty at the Navy Depart- ment will be required to wear civilian dress after May 15, except when en- gaged in strictly military duty and when .lt.ndln{ formal official func- tions. Under the recent orders of the Navy Department the officers have no soptio matien and selzure of liquor without war- rant. The hearing is to take place the week of May 21. Although democratic leaders in the legislature declared unanimousiy that the governor would sign the Cuvillier bill, Gov. Smith committed himaeir in no way as to his intentlons, be- yond the announcement made con- cerning the blic hearing. “The Cuviilier bill is a measure of such importance,” sald the governor, “that there undoubtedly will be & big hearing. I shall not act on the bill until I have given it careful consid- eration and heard all the arguments for and against it. I want to hear every shade of opinlon reflected.” Several hundred telegrams were re- ceived by the governor today from persons interested in the wet and dry question. Only one person tele- graphed the governor to veto the bill. A‘ll u:a others urged him strongly to sign it 200 AGENTS IN NEW YORK. Federal Director Drafts Plan to Act Without State Aid.

ATTACK ON SACRED | RELIGS IS FAILURE, All-Russian Church Conclave' ! 1 Raps Spurious Ones—Aid From U. S. Methodists. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, May 5.—The attempt in the all-Russlan church conclave to force through & declaration abolish- ing all sacred relics on the ground that they served to foster superstition has falled through the efforts of Bishop Antonin. The conclave, which originally had been expected to adopt such a reso- lution, finally compromised by allow- ing the relics to be retained, but pro- viding that they be kept open to view, instesd of in caskets. The resolution also censured those persons who, it said, endeavored to create spurious relics. In his address to the conclave Bishop Antonin defended the theory that the bodies of saints can remain in a state of preservation, as, he said, 4 tly lives of ascetism undoubtedly influence their bodies, too.” The cenclave granted the petition of a group of bishops that they be allowed to remain unmarried.

Initiation of 103 members, in the light of the flery cross, and with the usual Xu Klux Klan ceremonies, held upon ploturesque setting in the Old { Dominion, marked the celebration of {the ffty-seventh anniversary of the organisation of the invisible empire, held under the auspices of the Fairfax Klan, on the Five Oaks subdivision alongside the main pike between Vienna and Fairfax, last night. The ceremonies were held In a clover | fleld next to an orchard. Besides being | attended by five hundred kiansmen or more, they were witneased by several hundred spectators who had learned that the affair was going to take place and had rushed to the scene eager with curlosity. Entrances to the fleld were closely guarded, no one being admitted except rhars of the organisation and. thoss for whom special arrangements had been ‘made. ‘Aftar 9:46 pm. the fleld was closely | guarded. Klansmen formed a square around the cross in the center of the fleld. Prospective members of th oTnl- zation were led into the center of t! aquare, whers they took the oath. The k?nl' kleagle of northern Virginia presided. The huge cross gave forth a light almost as bright as day, while the torches around the outskirts of the square threw a red light upon the w‘nu. robes of the klansmen as they stood and knelt under the starlit sky. Automobiles used in transporting kisnsman knd spectators were park- ed over an ares extending &pproxi- mately seven city blocks. o celebratien was one of many being held throughout the esuntry in colebration of the orgenisation of the original Klan during the late 60s. “GAS” RECORD SMASHED.
