News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 BROTHER OF EX-SEC. BAKER FINED $1,000 Canght Within 19 Mie L With Cargo of Booze RAD JUST PURCHASED I Since He Was Not Within Three Mile Limit He Was Not Charged With “ Criminally Violating Prohibition Laws. New York, July 27.—Julian Baker, a member of the Yamaqua Yacht club in Sheepshead Bay and sald by Edward Barnes, assistant col- lector of customs to be a brother of | former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, today was fined $1,000 after coast guards boarded his motor boat Modesty yesterday outside the three mile limit and found six cases of Whiskey aboard, Mr. Baker, who was accompanied on the Modesty by Harry Hyatt, was taken into custody charged with transporting liquor within the 12 mile limit. Hyalt was discharged when Baker cleared him of complicity. Mr. Barnes declared that, inasmuch as there was no evidence of conspiracy and because the seizure was made outside the three mile limit, Baker|' was not charged with criminally vio- luting the prohibition laws. Baker admitted, Mr. Barnes declar- ed, that he was returning from the rum fleet where he had purchased the whiskey from the schooner J, B. Young off Sandy Hook. Washington, July 27.—Seizure of the motorboat Modesty off New York was explatned by officials here today as constituting no departure from the government’s established poliey of prohibition enforcement even though the boat was boarded outside the three mile limit where prohibition Jjurisdiction ceases. Under the ‘“hovering act” enacted long before the country went dry, the United States assumed *“customs jur- isdiction” up to the 12 mile limit, and B.| NEW B MOTORING, BATHING, SODA FOUNTAINS AND EVEN GOLF FORBIDDEN SUNDAY IN REVIVAL OF MICHIGAN BLUE LAWS Move Originally Started By Women Against Sabbath Movies and Dancing, But Prosecutor Says He Must Enforce All If He Enforces One. The present situation is the result of efforts of club women and others to close dance halls on Bunday. After the matter had been lald before city authorities without results, the prose- cutor took a hand. ~ He took the view that he could not with con- sistency enforce one blue law without enforcing all of them. Already there are indications that the enforcement s not going to meet with the approval of its original sponsors. Mrs. Ambrose Knight, chairman of the civic committee of the federation of women's clubs, who headed the petition to the city commission to close Sunday dance halls, says she opposes wholesale complaints for “technical violations.” “We just wanted the law en- forced against Sunday dancing, movies and billiard parlors,” sald Mrs. Dan Solf, president of the Swedish Metho- list Ladies Aid soclety. A, W. Church, president of the Lincoln Hills golf club, is in a quan- dary as to what course to follow. ALCORN HAS 20 NAMES ON CITY ‘BLACK LIST Could Not Tell When He Will Move Against Al- leged Bars Here By The Associated Press. Ludington, Mich, July 27.—Now comes the ‘Ludington blues.” Dusting off the statute books, county authorities have noted all the Michigan blue laws regarding Sab- bath observance and announced that they will be enforced. Virgil A. Fitch, prosecuting attor- ney of Mason county, declared that enforcement of the BSunday blue laws will mean: 1—=Sabbath closing of all billiard parlors, soft drink emporiums, dance halls, theaters and other places of amusements, ‘including bathing beaches. 2—Stopping. publication and distri- bution of the Ludington Sunday News. 3—Stopping Sunday play on all golf courses in the county. 4—Arrest of all persons driving au- tomobiles for pleasure on the Sabbath. This last is not Prosecutor Fitch's idea. Credit goes to H. H. Hallett, Mayor of Ludington, who announced that he personally would swear out complaints against all persons driv- } == nleasure Sunday.

By The Associated Press. Springfleld, Iil, July 27.—A com- pany of Illinois National Guardsmen was sent to Tamms In Alexander county by Adjutant Gen. Carlos E. Black, early this morning at the re- quest of Sheriff James 8, Roche of Cairo. The sheriff said he feared popular indignation would result in the lynching of James Hazlewood and Andrew Corbett, two men held in Tamms jall In connection with an as- sault on a girl of Tamms. Major Wm. P, Greaney of Co.

FRANCO-BELGIAN NOTE ACGEPTS SOME POINTS |Insists However, That Pas- sive Resistance Must End Before Parleys Start By The Associated Press. Paris, July 27.—The French reply to the British reparation note will be delivered in London tomorrow or Sun- day. It accepts some of the British suggestions and asks for further light on others. It maintains the princi- ple of the Franco-Belgian declaration 1o the effect that passive resistance must cease before negotiations witn Germany are undertaken. The document, however, will be communicated to London only after the Belgian government has recelved a copy and had tlme to examine it. Premier Poincare's note regarded tory, is supposed on the best author- ity, nevertheless to maintain absolute- ly the prinoiples laid down by the French and Belglans that the occu- pation of the Ruhr will be maintained until the payment of reparation is as- sured. The French premier expresses a willingness to modify the oocupation when resistance ends. Michigan Outbreak St. Joseph, Mich., July 27.—A mob bent upon obtaining two negroes held on charges of attacking a white girl at Benton Harbor, menaced the coun- ty jall here last night and was pre- vented from storming the structure | only by a show of bravado on the part |of Bherift George Bridgman, who es- tablished a dead line and selzed a member of the mob who crossed it, placing him in a cell adjoining that ooccupied by the two negroes. The sheriff today asked Governor Groesbeck that state police be sent here. STATE POLICE FLIVVER IN SEYMOUR CLEAN-UP By The Associated Press. London, July :i.—The recent ten- dency in many quarters here to take a sanguine view of the progress of negotiations in the reparations situa- tion is disappearing under the jnfiu- ence of the latest reports from Paris which indicate that France and 1el- glum virtually are immovable from the essential points of their policy in | which they differ from Great I3rita‘n.
