SAYS WASHINGTON WAS LIQUOR USER First President Accused of Viol- ting Laws and Owning Slaves Washington, June 29.—That George Washington was guilty of a ‘‘clear violation™ not only of the Volstead act but also of the Wills-Campbell anti- beer law was the solemn declaration made in the Senate by Senator Wat- son of Georgia. The Georgian said that not only did Washington violate the law at home but that even went so far as to exchange “'a negro named Tom for a hogshead of West Indian firewater."” It was the benus that brought the “Father of His Country” into the wet and dry controve Senator Borah last week challeng=d a statement made by Senator Watson that ‘Washington not only had been in favor of a bonus but had accepted one himself. Senator Borah read from Hamilton's papers and Washington's own letters to prove that Washington refused to receive remuneration of any kind for his serv- ices in the Revolution. Senator Wat- son said that this was true and said he had referred to Washington's serv- ice in the Indian wars, when he not only received a cash bonus but also a land grant. “Why," said Senator Watson, *“I was surprised to hear read in the Senate a few days ago a statement that Washington did not own s&laves. If any one has doubts as to whether or not Washington owned slaves, let him read page 190 of volume II. of ‘The Writings of George Washington,’ where he tells of the purchase of Jands and of negryes to work them.” “Having read that page let the doubting Thomas turn to page 211 of volume 1. of ‘The Writings of Wagh- ington.' On that page he will find a letter written from Mount Vernon un- der date of July 2, 1766. In the course of that letter, which was ad- Areseed to Captain John Thompson (sailing master) George Washington said: “'With this letter comes a negro, Tom, which I beg the faver of you to sell in any of the islands you may go to for whatever he will fetch and bring me in return for him one hogs- head of best molasses, one hogshead of best rum, one barrel of limes, if good and cheap; one pot of tama- rinds, two small pots of mixed sweet- meats, and residue much or little, in good old spirite.’ “Now that was a clear violation of the Volstead law and also of the Willis-Campbell Anti-Beer law,” Sena- tor Watson commented “I always thought,” interrupted Senator Stanley, “that George Wash- ington had his own still-house and made his own liquor—in other words, home brew."” “I am not prepared to say,” replied the Senator from Georgia, “whether that is correct, but in the biographies it is said that the first thing he did on arising in the morning was to take a drink of rum, and at his dinner he had small cider or beer, finishing up with two glasses of Madeira wine." “Do you think that is oné of the reasons he never told a lie?” Senator Stanley asked. “Yes, unquestionably that is one of the reasons,” Senator Watson answer- ed “I wonder,” continued Senator Wat- son, ‘if the father of our country ever anticipated that the time would come when we would have the Volstead act?"” “The world,’” remarked Senator Myers, "progresses, and both slavery and rum have been abolished in this country.’” “I wish that I corld believe it,” re- plied Senator Watson. PELLETIER RETIRES AS KACEY OFFIGER Sends in Resignation as Supreme Advocate of Order New Haven, June 29.—Joseph C. Pelletier, former district attorney in Boston, has resigned as supreme ad- vocate of the Knights of Columbus it was announced at the Knights of Columbus headquarters today. Mr. Pelletier in a letter to Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty asked that the resignation take effect at once, He leaves the office after 15 years serv. ice during which he was honored by the Holy Seée and the French and Italian governments, Mr, Pelletier, who was removed as district attorney by Massachusetts su- preme court on charges of malfea- sance and nonfeasance (n office, said in his letter of resignation: “I contemplated resigning sometime ago, but when my enemies outside the order commenced a propaganda within it to force trouble 1 decided to wait and watch developments, “Now that the entire ordeér, throngh its state jurisdiction has had a chance to pass upon the question, with the result that only a mere handful has succumbed to this hostile propaganda, I have decided to act, and in so do- ing to express my deepest apprecia- tion of the loyalty of the membership of the order to me."” Mr. Pelletier will stay in office for & few days in an effort to clear some of the detaile of his work which have not been completed, He said he would be glad to help his successor get ac- quainted with the work but other- wise wished to sever his connections a8 soon as possible, PORT OFFICIALS READY FOR STRIKE Government Committee Formed Last Year Still in Existench New York, June 29.—In view of Mayor Hylan's letter to President Harding requesting that precautions be taken against interference with New York's food supply in event of a railroad strike, the Port of New York authority called attention yes- terday to the fact that its administra- tive committee, headed by General George W. Goethals, formed last year when a strike was threatened, was still in existence and ready to func- tion. This committee, which includes rep- resentatives of practically every trans- portation interest in or near New York city and dealers in every variety of foodstuff or other necessary com- modity, was described in the port au- thority's last report as one of the fin- est agencies of the kind ever created A reply from President Harding was receiveqd by the mayor yesterday. The letter follows: The White House, Washington, D. C.,, My Dear Mayor Hylan: I am writing to acknowledge yours of June 26. I have read with full appréeciation the gravity of the situa- tion which you portray in your letter. Let me assure you that the federal government {s not unmindful of its responsibilities. I hope no situation will develop which will be & menace to the safety and the health of the people of the great city of New York Very truly yours, WARREN G. HARDING Hon John F. Hylan, Mayor. New York City. New York. The claim of the port authority was disputed by Edwin J. O’'Malley, com- missioner of public markets, who de- clared that the port authority’s plan to provide relief in the event of a railroad strike was neither practicable nor practical. “Officials of trunk line railroads coming into New York city deny any knowledge of any proposed plan of the port authority to feed the city in the event of a railroad tis-up,” Mr. O'Malley said. “The state that they are under the cantrol of the interstate commerce commission and do not ree- ogrize any other authority, that the proposed strike of shopmen will not affect the New York city food supply, as it does not include engineers, trainmen or conductors, and as the railroads have at least 25 per cent. of surplus locomotives and cars in the event of an emergency, that there were some committee meetings last fall, but the railroad men were too busy taking care of the situation from their own end to be bothered by attending any meetings of the port authority, who had nothing to offer. them." Mr. O’'Malley attacked the port au- thority in relation to the proposed po- tato embargo of the Pennsylvania railroad called off by direction of the interstate commerce commission upon application of the port authority, and asserted that the price of watermelons was being increased by the Pennsyl- vania deliverigg them to its Kearney, (N. J.) yard instead of to New York city. “The port authority usually follows Mayor Hylan in every attempt he makes to aid the people of the city of New York,” Mr. O'Malley conclud- ed. “When the municipal terminal markets are completed, there will be no need to efar a raiiroad strike, as the city will have sufficient food in storage tc meét any emergency.” DEXTER IS CHOICE Washington, June 29.—Selection of Edwin G.

Trim-- Saucy-- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1922 OXFORD MAKES TAFT CIVIL LA DOCTOR Honored for Work as Lawyer and Jurist Oxtord, June 39, (By Associated Press) —Willlam Howara Taft, ehief justice of the United States supreme court, received the degree of doctor of civil law from Oxford university for his contribution “to the friendship between England and America and his distinguishéd services as a lawyer and a jurist, The presentation occurred in the ancient Sheldonian theater, where for the last 500 years numbers of the world's greatest minds in science, lit- erature, law and medicine have re- celved similar degrees. After the ceremony Mr, Taft had luncheon with the vice-chancellor, the proctors and professors of the university. There were cordial exchanges of felicitations between Chief Justice Taft and the public orator of the university who conferred the degree. The latter said: “This eminent lawyer has played a great part in the history of his eoun- try and the world. Even before his services were crowned and his sphere of activity enlarged by his election as president of the United States, he had made an eminent contribution to legal learning. ‘He has now come to England to acquaint himself more fully with the working of the English judicial eys- tem, and his presence here is an in- dfcation of the friendship between England and America which he him- self has fostered and which we all hope will ever éndure.” Hearty applause from faculty, stu- dents and spectators greeted Mr. Taft when, gowned in flowing robes of crimson and lilac, he acknowledged the degree with a gracious bow and with a brief word of thanks. The en- tire ceremony was in Latin, Similar degrees were conferred upon Lord Chancellor Birkenhead for “his services as head of the English judicial system and for his statesman- ke qualities” and upon Cardinal Bourne for ‘his firm, impartial at- Modish-- Slenderizing Bathing Suits for Misses and Women— Suits that smack of Western Beaches, Snug fitting without clinging.
