FIVE IN CUSTODY "IN RUN-RING CASE Warrants Served on Indict- ments Returned in Florida. D. C. Men Involved. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 30.— Five of the score or more indictments for violation of the. Velstead law re- turned by a Tampa federal grand Jjury were served yesterday on C. F. Johnson, D. W. Keys and Fred Weaver, white, and Martin Williams and Pickens Gordan, negroes. It is alleged that these men are connected with & whisky ring which extends from Florida ports into the Middle West and to Washington. There are abouty 20 warrants to be served in Jucksonville, it is understood. ARRESTS HERE SEEN. Ten or Fifteen D. C. Men Known to Have Been Indicted. There was no indication up to noon toduy that ary arrests would follow in Washington soon from indictments returned at Tampa, Fla., although the first arrests under the same group of indictments were made in Jackson- ville yesterday. Papers wers expected to be sent from the oftice of the United States marshal in Florida to the marshal's office here for service upon the ten or fifteen Washingtonians who are known to have been indictsd for conspiracy. - When the papers will arrive here and the arrests be made was a matter entirely of conjecture with officials here today. ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30 (Spe- ejal).—James C. Clarkson, colored, ex-convict, was arrested here yester- day shortly after he had robbed the store of Pulley Bros., 1801 King street.

Immigration Bars Let Down in Case Of ‘War Mother’ The beneficent arm of the Gov- ernment assisted by officials of the American Legion, thrust aside technicalities of the law today, and admitted to this country, Mrs, Nunzlata Susi-Liberatruce, an Italfan, and mother of an Ameri- can soldier who was killed in France in 1918. Held at Ellis Is- land & few days agoe on her at- tempt to re-enter this country after some time spent in Italy, Mrs. Susi-Liberatruce was de- clared to have become insane when notified of the death of her smon, and might become a public charge. Any person likely to become & public charge is inadmissable as an allen to the United States un- der the law. The American Legion interested itself in her case, and appealed to the discretionary powers of the immigration service. Inquiry de- veloped that the mother, tearful of danger to her son, lost her mind when she was informed he had been killed in France. 8he later regained it, but the law de- clares five years must elapse be- fore an insane person can return to the United States and sanity must be proven. She was ordered released on $2,000 bond. Clarke is general treasurer of the company, which has stores In Fredericksburg, Falrfax, Vienna, Falls Church and Alexandria. Liabilities are listed at $16,000, while assets are $33,000. The assets, how- ever, are in a great part equipment ‘which is not readily tranaferable into cash. William 8.

Sergeant Gilmartin received first word of the suppesed sulcide from & golored youth, who told him & man had shot himself at 801 N street. He rushed to the room. There a dramstic Scene presented itself. On = bed, gasping and apperently with little life left, lay Wilsop. Kneel- ing beside him was his white wife of eight months, feeding him water with a spoon. On a chair near the side of the bed was a revolver. One shell waws empty. All others were loaded. The man's head was gwathed in bandages. Cotton pgdding under gause had been stained carmine.
