MERION CRICKET CLUB, Ard- more, Pa., September 27.—Bobby Jones won the national amateur championship, defeating Gene Homans, 8 and 7. Jones needed to produce few of his characteristic fireworks to gain so com- manding a lead over the 22-year-old Homans that his victory seemed as- #ured, with the match only at the half- ‘way mark. Homans, as a matter of fact, saved | ‘himself from being as much as 9 or 10 down by sensational work on the last two holes of the morning round. Long Internationally Known “for His Paintings of Landscapes. Friend, Mrs. John B. Hender- son, 87, Also Patient at Sanitarium. Lucien Whiting Powell, eminent ‘Washington artist, whose paintings are to be found wherever landscapes are admired, died in the Washington Sani- tarium in Takoma Park at 8:25 o'clock this morning. Mr. Powell, who was in his eighty- fourth year, had been at the institution since September 1. Double pneumonia developed from a lingering illness and proved fatal. His wife, a son and two daughtérs were with him when he died. By a coincidence, another person dear to the famous artist was near him at the end. Mrs. John B. Henderson, Capital social leader, now 87, a long- time friend and ardent admirer, who has been his patron for many years, is a patient at the sanitarium.

COUNSEL FOR"PITTS ACCUSES TWO AGENTS Seized Records While Posing as Fire Officials. Charging that two Department of | Justice agents, impersonating fire in- spectors, entered the New York offices of the F. H. Smith Co. on January 22 last and seized certain papers and records, attorneys for G. Bryan Pitts filed in the District Supreme Court to- day an additional plea in abatement to the indictment which charges Pitts and three other officials of the company with embezzlement and a conspiracy to burn and otherwise destroy company records, The Justice agents, it is alleged, through Attorneys Wilton Lambert and Rudolph Yeatman, seized certain bank books, canceled checks and deposit slips dealing in particular with Pitts’ ac- counts in the Southern Maryland Trust Co. It is claimed that the De- partment of Justice was able to adduce evidence from the property so seized, which was presented to the grand jury in violation of the defendant's rights under the fourth and fifth amendments to the Constitution. Assistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw announced he would move the court to strike the plea on the grounds that it was filed unseasonably and without leave of the court. He will also deny the facts as set forth. The plea was the fifteenth filed to the in- dictment. TUTTLE 1S CHOICE OF EMPIRE G.0.P. Democratic Corruption to Be Issue, With Both Parties Against Dry Law. By the Astociated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, September 27.— The Republican party of the State was preparing today to make the highroads and byroads ring with stories of Demo- cratic corruption in its campaign to elect Charles H. Tuttle Governor. That the traditionally dry party was fighting for a man opposed to prohibi- tion and that it had pledged itself in convention to seek repeal of the Na- tion’s dry law was expected to matter little, as the party chiefs believed they had taken the prohibition issue out of the campaign by taking almost the same stand on the question the Democrats have taken. Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who will be nominated for another term by the Democrats, has come out for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The Dem- ocratic convention will open Monday at Syracuse. Leaders Show Calm. Republican leaders professed not to be worried by defections. Independent drys announced soon after the Repub- lican convention adjourned yesterday that they would put a third ticket in the fleld. Who their gubernatorial candidate would be was not determined. A plank advocating repeal of the eighteenth amendment was adopted by the Republican convention by a vote of 733 to 258, with the drys satisfied to g0 _on record against it. Mr. Tuttle accepted the nomination by a speech which mapped the plan of campaign. He spoke of the “money changers in the temple of justice in the City of New York"”; gave considerable time to discussion of office holders and Democratic leaders in New York City refusing to waive immunity when called in investigations into corruption, and brought the delegates to their feet with the demand “Are we to have a Governor whlc; is bigger than Tammany Hall, or not?” . He pledged that if elected he would require within 24 hours removal of any public officer who refused to give an; accounting of his trust unless he were guaranteed immunity. Manhattan U. §. Attorney. Mr. Tuttle is Federal attorney for the district including Manhattan. He has resigned, but is still in office. His nomination as Governor was due large- ly to the fact that in investigation of financial frauds, a matter that came within his province through use of the mails, he uncovered evidence of pay- ments by Tammany office holders for their jobs. These payments are now under investigation by an extraordinary county grand jury at the direction of Gov. Roosevelt. The prohibitionists who have been used to supporting the Republican ticket issued a statement that “the worst ele- ments” in the Republican party had gained control and that it was “ridicu- lous” to asume such forces were quali- fled to reform the State government and to purify politics. The Republican leaders were less interested in the dry gubernatorial candidate than in trying to determine the vote the third party ticket would draw. They went back to the 1926 campaign for a comparison. That year saw the dry Cristman ticket, named to punish United States Senator James ‘W. Wadsworth for his opposition to prohibition, polling 231,906 votes, enough to cause Wadsworth's defeat by Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, by 116,217 votes. MOSAIC PICTURES OF HERCULES BEING VAMPED BY SIRENS FOUND One of Largest ‘Known Amphitheaters Unearthed at Scene of Once Great Roman City. By the Associated Press, ITALICA, Spain—A mosaic floor plcture of Hercules being vamped by the sirens, vith every indication that he is going to be lost unless he runs away from temptation quickly, has been found in excavations of the luxurious villa of some wealthy Roman who lived here 2,000 years ago. The excavations of what was once a great Roman city here, uncer way for some years, have revealed one of the largest known ancient amphitheaters.

The citizen who manufactures wine or beer in his home for home con- sumption with no sales involved was held today by Prohibition Director Amos W. W. Woodcock to be beyond ‘l.he reach of Federal enforcement agencies, As a matter of law, Mr. Woodcock ex- plained, in his first pronouncement on this point, the home manufacturer is liable to punishment if the liquor he produces is “intoxicating in fact.” This, he said, is a point for the jury to de- cide. Practically speaking, however, he con- tinued, evidence to bring the home manufacturer to trial cannot be ob- tained unless commercial features are involved upon which a search warrant can be issued. Not Serious Question. ¢ Reporis that a huge grape crop of this year had prompted producers to launch a campaign for manufacture of homemade light wines- was not con- sidered as a serious question for pro- hibition enforcement officials, Mr. ‘Woodcock said. Mr. Woodcock said there was prac- tically no way to get evidence that wine is being made in the homes. The Volstead act has been interpreted by the courts, he said, as requiring that search of & private home can be made only on a search warrant which has been issued as & result of a sale of U930 o practical probiem in law en “As a ical problem in n- forcement,” declared Mr. Woodcock, “it is extremely difficult to get the evidence in a case of homemade wine.” Mr. Woodcock speaks with authority not only as director of prohibition, but also because he was the prosecuting of- ficer as United States attorney in the famous case of the Government against John Philip Hill of Maryland, a “wet” leader in the House. In the Hill case, precipitated by the “wet” Representa- tive himself, Col. Woodcock explained that a jury held that Hill's wine of 12 per cent alcoholic content was not in- ftoxicating in fact and Hill was ac- quitted. o Up to Courts and Juries. loned as to his own interpreta- -flow the question “Intoxicating in fact,” Mr. Woodcock replied that this was & question for the courts and for juries to determine. “Our activities,” the prohibition direc- tor said, e directed against com- mercial violation of the law.” The Hill case and some similar cases of home manufacture for home consumption, the director said, were definitely not commercial cases. Ap] ed with & question as to whether in the face of an increasing number of public men coming out for repeal of the eighteenth amendment the new administration of prohibition was making any progress in enforce- ment, Mr. Woodcock declared: “I don’t know. I can say, however, that we are getting the force on a more effective basis.” He refused to discuss the wet statement of former United States Attorney Tuttle of New York, who has just been nominated for Gov- ernor by the Republican party, declar- ing “he’s running for office.” Matter of Investigating. ‘The job of running the Prohibition Bureau, Col. Woodcock sald, was specifi- cally an investigative job and was not concerned with the handling *of public sentiment, except, he added, that, of course, any increase of public sentiment against prohibition enforcement made it more difficult. Declining to express a personal opin- ion about the whole question of whether prohibition enforcement generally can be made nationally effective increas- ingly, Col. Woodcock declared em- phatically, however, “I believe this amendment can be enforced against commercial violators.” The director has just returned from a trip of inspection through Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware, where, he said, that with the exception of Delaware he found his forces in effec- tive condition. He was particularly pleased, he said, with the situation in Philadelphia. WALLACE, EX-ENVOY, IS SERIOUSLY ILL Wilson’s Ambassador to France Is Suffering From Bronchitis at His Paris Home.

GENEVA, September 27.—Conflicting interests of European agricultural coun- tries as against non-European agricul- tural producers clashed in the League of Nations’ Assembly Economic Com- mittee today. A division arose during consideration of the resolutions of the Warsaw con- ference which wished the League to approve of a plan for preferential tar- iffs in European states for European agricultural products. Poland and the Danubian countries were ranged against Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, which latter group opposed any approval in the Economic Committee's report of the Warsaw move. League Functions Question, “We do not challenge the right of groups of states to negotiate special tariffs,” said Walter Riddell, the Cana- dian delegate, “but we insist that the League itself shall not be used by any group to further its interests at the ex- pense of another country or group.” Mr. Riddell previously had stated that if the League undertook to execute the Warsaw proposal for European prefer- ential rates, it would be acting to shut out America, Canada and other over- seas countries from free competition in European markets. The Polish and Rumanian delegates were very emphatic in opposing an ezmendment offered by the British do- minions to reflect their view in the committee’s report to the assembly. They said they feared this might place the assembly on record as opposed to th: negotiation of group preferential rates. Miss Susan Lawrence, British dele- gate, intervened to offer a solution in the form of an amendment which should record the position of both sides without committing the League to either position. The issue was referred to a subcommittee for adjustment. Amendment Is Offered. “Dumping” of trade commodities was condemned as an “unhealthy practice” by the Economic Committee in & re- port submitted today by its reporter, Gluseppe de Michelis of Italy. No mention was made of the Soviet union or of any other country. “The committee cannot fail to be disturbed by the alarming proportions which dumping has reached recently,” the re- port said, “but prefers once more to condemn this unhealthy practice.” OIL TANKER IN PERIL SAN PEDRO, Calif., September 27 (). —Two ships were en route to aid the Standard Oil tanker Sylvan Arrow, fol- lowing a radio message last night that she was helpless 150 miles northwest of here through loss of her propeller.

CONNAUT, Ohio, September 27.-—The wreckage of the plane in which Pilot Willard Parker and his passenger, Wil- lam J. Columbus, Ohio, salt manufacturer, disappeared early Wed- nesday, was found scattered along the Lake Erie shoreline, three miles west of here early today. No bodies were found.

CHICAGO, September 27.—A sturdy stockade was thrown up today by the Chicago Board of Trade to protect weakening American wheat values against Russian bear raids. In a resolution, unprecedented in the board's 60-year history, its directors yesterday branded the selling of wheat tutures by eny foreign government a “new development of commerce of se- riously objectionable character” and decreed “it must be brought to an end.” The action, announced in a tele- gram to Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, whose charges of short selling by Soviet Russia initiated an investigation by the board, included a new injunction to put an end to bear raids and price manipulation, Mrs. E.
