S. Is Cited. Step Is Held Most Important External Factor of Enforcement. BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT. President Hoover has the prospect of scoring for his administration a success idents Harding and Coolidge were un- able to achieve, namely, full co-opera- tion by the Dominion of Canada. Premier MacKenzle King's bold stand for a law making the exportation of liquors to the United States illegal signi- fles in high official and dry circles in Washington the most important exter- nal support law enforcement has re- ceived—more important, perhaps, than England’s readiness to negotiate a 12- mile limit in place of the traditional 3-mile limit, for stopping rum-runners. The Hoover Law Enforcement Com- mission already has given consideration to the issue raised by Premier King in the Canadian House of Commons. It has been brought out that the practical effect of such a law as the premier pro- poses will not prevent Canadian liquor from reaching the United States, but it | will force the bootleggers in this coun- | try, who buy from Canadian liquor deal- | to go to much greater trouble and | expense in getting liquors, | | Risk Would Increase. If the law is adopted in Canada mak- ing the exportation of liquors to the United States illegal, it will mean that Canadian dealers must ship their goods to some West Indian possession of Eng- land, or to Cuba, or other foreign soil, and the same procedure would be neces- sary on the Pacific side. Then the liquor would have to be run into the United States surreptitiously as at pres- ent. Canadians now may obtain ship clearances for liquors to United States ports, and they also may sell direct to American bootleggers who take their own risk in getting the liquors over the border. Premier King's measure would make such clearance illegal. The law, &s he stated Friday in the House of Commons, will make it impossible for any Ca- | nadian officials, customs officers and the like, to have any legal connection with & sale of liquor to American citizens within the United States. Such sales involve crossing the border and thereby become international business. Diplomatically, Premier King rests his (I:L:‘e DnHwhl! ‘d‘ lc)(l)nsldlered unanswerable ‘c. He used blunt language in speak- 18. to the House, when he said: i “Matter of Grave Concern.” “As minister of external affairs, it is my duty to advise Parliament of any dangerous international situation which exists. The situation with respect to Tum running is a perilous one. The mat- ter is one of grave concern.” In that one passage he describes the Canadian relations with the United States with three words always used by diplomats with the greatest caution. ‘He says the situation is “dangerous,” “perilous” and “grave.” What this is understood to mean in Qualified quarters in Washington is that Premier King sees the rising feeling in the United States over prohibition mak- ing for a situation wherein animosity might develop toward Canada over Tum-running, which has not been noted in a hundred years and more of peace along the border between the two countries. The proposal several months ago, f instance, that a barbed-wire le:ge ger erected along the border to control smuggling of liquors alarmed statesmen in England as well as in Canada, even though it was not put forward with administration backing. . It was taken as an unofficial symptom which was ":rg:’ ;mfl'::h Tl;?r! is, however, other factor probably more s} in Canadian eyes, it Notice Additional Vigor. m!"ruldent‘floover': Jltt"ud! toward law forcement ranges the Government of the United States vigorously, for the time being, behind the enforcement of prohibition. It was a much more de- cided stand than either President Hard- ing or President Coolidge had taken. Canadian and English statesmen did not fail to take notice of this. In international law it is basic that one nation cannot allow its territory to be used as a base of operations by citizens, or any one else, to attack the peace rights cr security of a friendly power. What Premier King is doing, therefore, is to say to the Paliament of Canada in so many words: “We cannot allow American bootleg- gers, in co-operation with Canadian offi- clals or citizens, to use the soil of Can- ada as & base of operations from which they can defy and override the laws of the United States, a friendly power.” The law he is advocating, neverthe- less, does not mention the United States. It merely states that the exportation of liquors from Canada is forbidden to any country the laws of which forbid the importation of liquors. That would cover any other country having laws for- bidding liquor imports. Premier King | explained to the House of Commons that the law would be universal in its | aplication, and was not a temperance of the prohibition law affecting Cana. dian citizens themselves, He is taking a broad, long-distance view of a situation which might de- velop into friction between the two countries, which a majority in each country wishes to see avoided. The financisl profit Canada is making from the sale of liquors to American bootleg- gers, he said, is inconsequential beside this larger issue. Moreover, he mani- festly does not think the bad conditions along the border reflects the views of the whole American Ppeople.

A tribute to the late William Howard Taft was dictated by “Mother” Jones. famous labor leader and organizer, from "her sick bed, yesterday, at the home of ner friends, Mr. and Mrs. Waiter E. Burgess, Riggs road, Hyattsville, Md., where she is waging her own last bat- tle for life just as courageously as she fought her many labor battles, Despite her iliness and advanced years, “Mother” Jones still takes a keen interest in world affairs. Upon receiv- ing information of the death of the former President and Chief Justice, she was saddened. She had always spoken of him with friendly feeling, never hav- ing forgotten his great kindness to her years ago, when she called upon him for his intercession on behalf of some Mexicans, who were to be extradited and shot, In her tribute to Mr. Taft, “Mother"” Jones says he was humane. In describ- ing her interview with him at the White House she said: “I never will forget the day on which T went to see him on & question con- cerning labor. He kept me in his private office an hour and a half, and when I made ready to go he said, ‘Stay a little longer, Mother. ‘But, Mr. President,” I replied, ‘your lunch is waiting.’ ‘Never mind the lunch, Mother,’ said he, ‘I can get my lunch anytime, but I cannot talk to you any- time. You are giving me very valuable information concerning labor, which I am very glad to have.'” “‘My mission,” continued “Mother,” “was in behalf of 14 Mexicans then in Leavenworth Prison, who were to have been extradited and shot. Mr. Taft then said, ‘Well, Mother, if you will bring me evidence of the innocence of these men, I will promise to pardon them. She repled, “Mr, President, that is all I can ask.” “I went back to the prison, taking with me a notary public and a Spanish interpreter,” said “Mother,” “and after getting all the evidence in shape, I re- turned to Washington. The President read it all over very carefully, and, looking up, said, ‘Now, Mother, the trou- ble lies Te; if I put the pardoning power into your hands, there would be no one left in the jalls’ ‘Well, Mr. President,’ I replied, ‘Iron bars have never remedied a wrong as yet and never will. We must find a more hu- mane way of dealing with the mistakes of our fellow creatures.’ “‘Perhaps you are right, Mother, said the President, and so0,” she con- cluded, “without any lawyers, ‘red tape' STAR, WASHINGTON, SOCIETY OF NATIVES GROUPS WILL MEET Committee on National Rep- resentation to Meet at 4 P.M.

BUFFALO, N. Y., March 15.—Lodged in jall as a material witness in the \Cn.‘? involving the slaying of his wife by two Indian women who are charged with murder, Henrl Marchand, artist of the Buffalo Museum, was being ’cluwly guarded tonight in the Erie | County jail after he twice had threat- | ened suicide | After Justice Thomas H. Noonan of | the Supreme 'Court had set bail at | $25.000, Marchand was transferred from a cell at police headquarters to the | county jail. | The latest development in the case | came with surprising suddenness today | when three letters Marchand wrote to Lila Jimerson, one of the principals in the case, were revealed to the district | attorney. The letters indicated warmth | of affection between Marchand and the Jimerson woman, authorities held. Marchand was being questioned in the office of District Attorney Guy B. Moore when he suddenly shrieked: “I'll kill myself, I'll kill myself.” This morning William R. Connolly, deputy police commissioner, was in- formed that three important letters from Marchand to the. Jimerson woman were awaiting him. Examination of the letters resulted in an immediate conference with Moore, and Marchand then was brought from his studio for questioning. Moore said afterward that no ques- tion he had asked Marchand would call forth a threat of sulcids. Later, when Marchand was peing taken from his cell to go before Justice Noonan, police removed a scarf from his pocket. “You are not going to get my goat any more,” he muttered. “You cannot stop me, I'll find a way.” Marchand's wife was slain by an aged Seneca Indian woman, Nancy Bowen, who has confessed she did so because she thought Mrs. Marchand had put & blight on her tribe through witchcraft. | The Jimerson woman is alleged to have induced the older woman to commit | the crime by working on her mind | through the medium of a ouija board.
