) MONTICELLD FEAS ~ BRILLIANT EVENT + Hundreds Gather at Benefit Breakfast Held for Jef- ferson Foundation. “Westward, Ho!" was the slogan which carrled to a brilliant success the breakfast at Rauscher's yester- day for the benefit of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, which purposes to make Monticello Just such a Shrine as Mount Vernon now 1s. The scene in the great ballroom was a brilliant one, equalling in gen- eral interest a similar feast held there a short time ago. Long before the time for the open- ing pugeant, there were assembled several hundred women, many of them representing families of founders and patriots of the government directly or indlrectly. The guests were greeted by Mrs. Horace Vrooman, chairman of the breakfast committee, asslsted by a number of women who helped to carry the event to success. \_sectlon of the Marine Band played while the guests embled and later xave a program suited to the title of § the breakfast. “Spirit of the Ploneer.” A three-minute pageant opened the breakfast, “The Spirit of the Pioneer, evised by Mrs. Minnigerode An- drews, chairman of the Thomas Jefferson Memortal Association, and staged by Miss Estelle Wentworth nd_Albert Farr € Theater Arts. helr services in memorial.

The men arrested are Anthony Schieb and Carl B. Anderson, members of the mortgage company. Morton S.

Moores and were bound over to the federal grand jury under bond of $7,500, which each provided. Hawkins is at liberty under $10,000 bond. The three men are charged with having used the malls to defraud, in sending out circular letters to per- sons interested in the Co-Operative League of America, urging them to invest their holdings in stocks of the Hawkins Mortgage Company. A suit recently was filed in federal court by trustees of the Free Metho- dist Church of Middletown, Ohio, charging Hawkins, Schieb and Ander- son with having defrauded the church out of money, in a financial scheme to build a new church.

Crawford, C. Harold e oot Ulric B. Walms- Edward Frede- ley, Eric Field, and Col. rick Lawson. Led by Cheshire. Mr. Cheshire, as president of the Longon Thirty Club, 16d the delegation of British advertisers to Atlantic City. He is recognized as the dean of British advertising men. He controls —the largest advertising interests and ap- propriations in the British empire, larger, it is understood, than those of any individual firm in the United States. As managing director of Lever Brothers, he practically controls the soap trade of Great Britain, with capi- unning to milllons. A ames, Crawford began his ad- vertising organization just before the start of the great war. At that time, despite the fact that business came to a standstil] little space for advertisement, the Crawford organization grew and emerged after the war one of the strongest and most progressive ad- vertising houses in England. It was his idea to bring American adver- tisers to London for the advertising convention in 1924 and he was the backer who brought the Thirty Club to undertake this work, while presi- dent of that organization. He was vice president of the advertising ex- position at the White City in 1920 and is vice president for Europe of the Assoclated Advertising Clubs of the World. He is honorary pub- lielty director for the British empire exhibition to be held in 1924. Represents Younger Men. C. Harold Vernon, honorary sec- retary of the Thirty Club, is a repre- sentative of the younger element in the advertising game. Organizing ability demonstrated by him won praise during his work at the adver- tising exhibition in 1920. George__Scott, representing the Glasgow Herald and assoclated news- papers, is secretary of the finance committee of the Thirty Club and Vice president of the Association of Advertisement Managers of the Lon- don and Provincial Press. He was delegated to represent the leading newspapers of Glasgow.at Atlantic City in inviting American advertisers to London in 1924. He is a member of the Aldwych and Fleet Street clubs and of the general council of ‘the National Advertising Benevolent So- clety, which was organized for alle- viation of distress among those em- ployed in advertising work and for the care and maintenance of orphan children. Ulric B. Walmslev, E. Hulton & Co., Ltd., is the youngest member of the club. He came to this country as the representative of this firm, in whose. employment he has been for eleven years.

The proposal was officlally present- ed and under scrious conslderation by American officlals, who decided finally that this proposed method of | circumventing the ban could not be countenanced under the Supreme Court interpretation of the law. Admit Diplomatic Liquor. Diplomatic liquor, which is expect- ed as always, will be admitted, and it was belleved in some official quar- ters that the hope of the French | had been to transfer all stores on | French lines into a simllar class, and thus permit its entry into American waters. The liquor permitted toe diplomatic | corps here in Washington was held by American officlals to be in a privileged class, into which great quantities of ordinary cargo or crew ration liquors could not be placed. There was a distinction, between the two, this government held, and thus the hope of the French on one more score was doomed to disappointment. | The customs service Is the first| point of contact with vessels, as un- | der the tariff laws, and the comity of nations customs agents are per- | mitted first access to incoming ships. | If they find illegal liquor they are | ompowered to seize it.

Selzure of foreign ships them- selves under the Volstead act, is an extremity understood to be possible, but seldom probable. To the public health service has been relegated the most difficult duty of determining the “medicinal need of all ships, both domestic and for- eign. Thiere is ome of the real rubs of the whole situation. No hard and! fast rule has been laid down, with! the single exception that if the need{ is found to be more than five gal- lans, the applicant must go to offi- cers of the internal revenue bureau for additional authority. ~Within five gallon “medicinal needs,” the public health service officers are glven authority to lssue ‘“certificates of medicinal need,” which will be hon-| ored and filled under close examina- tion by retall druggists, in the port.| How wide will be the latitude al- lowed officers of the Public Health Service? This is a question upon which, some belfeve, will rest the weakableness of the new regulations. Must Fix Needs. Dr. M. J.

But, added Dr. White, all the records of these officers will be close- Iy checked by the inspection service of the public health, to see that the allowances are made in accord with what should be the actual “need. Limits Flexible. The reason why mo hard and fast rule has been set, he explained, was because of the wide vicissitudes o shipping, and its requirements. A medicinal need for a vessel making a trip from America to France in sum- mer, he explained, would be entirely difterent from the medicinal need of a similar vessel sailing into the New- foundland banks in the dead of win- ter.

This week, however, very much more than that has been sald | concerning the United States govern- ment dry shipping ruling.

Inasmuch 8s he has read his \ewspapers for the last three years and knows that prohibition is one thing that certainly is not enforced in the United States, his sense of grievance is keener than ever. A view which Is very frequently expressed by the man on the street, and which has recently found fits way into parliamentary de-. bates and press, runs something like thi “The Tnited States, finding ft fm- possible to make its own country dry, now 1is trying its luck on the high seas.” That this perhaps is illogical and certainly not strictly accurate, does not alter the fact that it is an aspect of the situation which appeals strongly to the people of Britain. | There is a limited number who be- lieve the three-mile dry limit has been fmposed in order to allow dry American liners to compete with - The general | i | | ! by the Washington correspondent of the Morning Post who says: "It should be remembered that éven the most fanatical drys are willing npromise with their conscien en their pockethooks are affected.” nd instances the fact that the Panama Canal American terri- tory, ause unless for- cign s were allowed to carry liquor they would not use the canal.” He proceeds to say: “The only argu- ment to influence Congress is re prisals. 1f American vessels In for- eign ports were made to suffer the same inconvenience or pecuniary loss as forelgn vessels in American ports are made to do, then Congress might récognizing the comity of nations.” Tt is perfectly true that there are voices raised in the press elsewhere opposing _this view. The chester Guardian and the minister Gazette have been | sistently counselling restraint. while the Dally editorfally are far too ready to treat prohibi- tion as a bad joke with which the bulk of Americans have no sym- pathy. Thesa views, however, constitu a declded minority, since practical every other important paper in Lon- don ‘opposes them. Thus, the Daily Mall says: “It s quite time that common sense asserts itself in re- gard to the ban on liquor on ships in American waters.

NEW YORK, June 9.—The port of New York became offically dry at midnight tonight, when customs offi- clals put into effect the Supreme Court ruling prohibiting all mer- chant vessels, foreign and domestic, from possessing liquor within the three-mile limit. Palmer Canfleld, federal prohibi- tion -director for the state, made it clear that the law prohibits within territorial limits the possession of liquors not only for beverage pur- poses, but also as cargo and ships' stores. It is permitted, however, he said, to have “a reasonable quantity of wine for sacramental purposes and of intaxicating liguor for meiicinal purposes. “It now becomes necessary,” he said, “for ships’ masters desiring to possess or procure liquor for me- dicinal purpose to apply in person to a medical officer of the public health service of the port, or, in the ab- sence of such an officer, to an office: of the federal public health service Althought no definite instructions came from Washington and despite the admitted inadequacy of their force, customs officers sald the law would be rigidly enforced. It was stated that the 700 or 800 men in the customs' service probably would not be able effectively to cope with their many new tasks. Foreign ship owners, pending pro- tests by their own governments, will mect the terms of the law, they an- avunced. is not possible that a disturbance of public order in the United States, nor an injury of any other United States interest, can arise from the existence of liquor under seal aboard ship in American territorial waters.” Probably Baldwin, like many other people, expected that at the last mo- {ment a loophole would be found in the Supreme Court's ruling. Now that it is evident no such evasion will be possible, the British people are set- tling down to watch with disapproval the operation of a law, which puzzl and exasperates the greater part of them.
