Pinchot Says Law is Defled. Harrisburbh, Oct, 3.-—~Colincident ‘with the service of notices on mere than 1,300 xaloons in Philadelphia to remove all bar equipment and cease pelling in violation of , Governor Pinchot declared that' the city's sa- loons had been “selling liquoy more lawlessly and operating in more open deflance of federal and etate laws than in any other city in Pennsyl- ~ania." The action is similar to that taken i August when more than 1,000 sa- loens in Lackawanna, Luzern Northumberland, Schuylkill and C: bon counties, in the anthracite di. triet, received notices signed by the Department of Justice of the United Btates and of Pennsylvani The statement, signed by the gov- ernor, read Governor's Statement “There is a new era in law enforce- ment in Pennsylvania. *‘Aeting in concert with the United Ftates, the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania is formally serving notice upon the owners and tenants of prem- ises equipped and maintained as sa- loons in deéflance of law to cease sell- ing in violation of the Eighteenth amendment and of the laws of the + United States and the Commonwealth .of Pénnsylvania. ' “Saloons in Philadelphia havespald no attention to the law., They have been selling' liquor more lawlessly and operating in more open deflance of general and state laws than'in any other city of the commonwealth. There are more than 1,300 saloons in Philadelphia. 2 “Today these violators of the law are’ being served with notices to re- move equipment, sceeens, partitions and swinging doors, and to cease sell- ing in vielation of law. “In this procedure the United States apd the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- \‘nln are each represented by its at- torney general.- 5 ‘ “Service. of the notices is proceed- ing in an orderly manner inder the weight of the powers behind it. 1In this service the federal government is represented by an agent of its depart- ment of justice and the commonwealth by a unifermed member of its state police. The two act together. .Joint gtate and federal proceedings will fol- low where this warning is not heeded. “The law is supreme.- The depart- ments of justice of the state and na- tion will duly proceed to see that it is recognized as such when saloons defy it, until the whole sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania have been trought under the mantle of law cn- forcement. We mean business.” CASES GOMING P Demurvers Against Indictment of Crowell Filed Today Washington, Oct. 3.-—Argument in support of the demurrer against the indietmént of Benedict Crowell, for- mer agsistant secretary of war . and six associates charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in con- nection with the construction of army cantonments was begun today in the District of Columbia supreme court. The defendants, have asked that the indictment be dismissed on the ground that it charged no crime but was based on “an allegation of fraud solely on an opinion of the present department of justice regarding the wisdom of a governmental policy, the making of cost plus contracts for the construction of army tralning camps.” oning the argument, Frank J. Hogan, of defense counsel declared that “if there ig the slightest shred of justification for naming Benedict Crowall and his associates in this in- dictment then by the same token the charges it makes implicate equally Woodrow Wilson and Newton D. Bak- er (secretary of war during the war) as well as practically evéry leading figure in the gréat bullding industry of this nation andy practically all the members of the natlon's council of nationa) defense.’” Declaring the language of the in- dictment charged that the defendants had achieved their purpose “at times in co-operation. with other conspira- tors,” Mr. Hogan contended that only Mr. Wilson and Mr. Baker could be meast others irasmuch as “it was they wifo appéinted Secretary Crowell and his assistants in office and wio had continuously approvéd their poli- cies and their conduct.” “But these officials of the present adminjstration did not dare namse Woodréw Wilsen and Newton D. Baket,' continued Mr. Hogan, “be. cause they had at least the intelli- genée to appréciate that by so doing CITY ITEMS, Chicken supper, Methodist chureh, Thureday, at 6:30.—advt, .

Mrs. Foster died in this city about one year ago. Her will was offered for probate in the Hartford district, she having made her home in West Hartford.

The Hartford Connecticut Trust Co., was then named as execu- tor. Undue influence was alleged by ‘Ringrose. Among the witnesses who are to be summoned by the defendant today are Judge W. F. Mangan who drew the will, Dr. John B, Martn who at- tended Mrs. Foster in her last illness, and Rev, William I7. O'Dell of Elm- wood, who administered the last rites of the church to Mrs. IPoster.

The natlonalist party has request- ed the appointment of Minoux, man- aging director of the Stinnes concerns, as minister of finance in place of Herr Hilferding. The socialist group in the Saxon Diet has decided to invite the com- munists to join the government on the condition that they recognize the constitution, the dispatch adds. A Berlin telegram to Reuters says it is officially announced that the dls- cussions of the German cabinet last evening centered chiefly around the question of the increased output in industry which the cabinet by virtue of the emergency law, proposes fo carry through. The secialists and democrats in the cabinet will inform their parties of the arrangement decided upon and the democrats will advise the chancel- :,M of thelr attitude before noon to- ay. Possibilities of a ‘'cabinet crisis arose from the united socialists oppo- sition to the state of emerggney. The political contusion has already resulted in the resignation of two cabinet ministers, according to repprts received here. Dr. Hans Luther, the food minister and Hans von Raumer, holder of the portfolio of economics are said to have terminated their connection with the ministry although the latter's resignatian is reported as being due only te personal reasons, Other reports say that Premier von Knilling of Bavaria has resigned and s to be succeeded by Dr. von Kaher the military dictaror; that the Wurr- temburg government is negotiating with Bavaria for joint separatist ac- tion against Berlin and that Dr. von Kaher has made friendly advances to. ward Adolph Hifler, the Bavarian nationalist leader and has ordered they would have geurted the ridicule | state officials to disregard orders from of thé American people.

WALTON LOSES IN BATTLE OF BALLOTS (Continued from First Page) of the people because such an over- whelming majority repudiated it in the election, Governor Walton de- clared alst night: “I amh still governor of the state. The fight on the nviisible empire has just started in Oklahoma.” The executive has charged that the members of the legislative who draft- ed impeachment tharges against him and attempted to convene only to be dispersed by Natlonal Guardsmen-un- der orders from the governor are Ku Klux Klansmen seeking to halt his war on.the secret organization. Week Must Elapse. The legislative amendment to the constitution, under the law, becomes cffective as soon as returns from the election are certified to the secretary of state by state election hoard. This usually requires at least a week. While the future intentions of the governor have not been made known, it is considered probable that he will seek through the courts to bar an im- mediate assembly of the legislature under the provisions of the amend- ment and thereby test the validity of the election. It he seeks an injunction restraining the election hoard from certifying the returns, attorneys pointed out today, it will be necessary for the state su- preme court to pass on the legality of the elections. This might delay any attempt of the legislature to convene because of certain formalities ob- served in such proceedings. To decide the election legal, it was &ald, the supreme court must ascer- tain whether it is a ‘‘representative sentiment” of the state as a whole, FATE WITH JURY Waterbury, Oct. 3.—It is expected that the case of Manuel Semenod Var- ela, Portuguese negro, charged with shooting Mrs. Inez Norwood here in 1921, will go {o the jury late.today.

Booth of New York, president of the international chamber in an address at a luncheon of the Boston chamber of commerce today. “There will ba much disturbance and much disorder before the under- Iying. forces of economie interdepen: ence dre able to assert themselves," he continued, “but these forces are relentless in their application and it is over this road that Germany and France will get together in a settle- ment which by reason of mutual re- sponsipility will give the best assur- ance of permanent peace. “The reparations settlement must to be substantial appeal to the judgment of the average investor in the United States or no financing made necessary by the settlement appears possible, The American investor before he puts his money into any securities offered in connection with a settlement will have to belfeve that permanent peace is assured. “This means that we in America have a direct Interest in reparations. Our representative on the reparations commission should he properly ac- credited and have power to vote, This would not involve us in the political tangles of Kurope. Sooner or later we will have to face the problem of an adjustment of our foreign debts. The time is not ripe yet and the ap- proach must be made by the debtors. Any reasonable gacrifices that we may make in this direction provided that they at the same time contribute to the economic restoration of Europe and the rest of the world will be war- ranted. We face anyhow loss of trade and commerce over a long period of years through the circumstances of Europe's disorganization.” Julius H. Barnes, president of the chamber of commerce of the United States urged team play between gov- ernment and industry. “We realize,” he said, “that the re- lations of government and industry must be ever under resurvey. The one absolute necessity is that whatever those relations there shall he preserv- ed the larger fleld in which the in- dividual himself may without injury to his fellows, have the largest meas- ure of fair play and the largest field of opportunity in which he can worle out his own destiny, Government can and should be helpful.

Berlin, Oct. 3.—~At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Reichstag parties were still stubbornly deadlocked on the is- sues raised by the soclalists. The lat. ter were in caucus all tne forenoon and then adjourned in order to re- port the party’s sentiment to the cabi- net. The socialists are demanding assur- ance that Chancellor Stresemann's proposed legislation will not diserim- inate against the working classes with regard to the eight hour day and are also insisting that the central gov- ernment assert its undiminished poli- tical and military authority in Ba- varia, In the accounts of last night's cabinet session and the other politi- cal conferences Chancellor Strese- mann is represented as belleving him- self able to impress upon all the Reich- stag parties that the situation called for patriotism rather than party al- leglance and he was reported as de- termined to stake his further incum- beney in the chancellorship on the success or defeat of his program. Should his retirement be forced, it would not, in the opinion of political cireles and industrial leaders, mean the abandonment of the drastic meas- ures he proposes, but would eonly make the issue more acutée and pos- sibly result in producing a new chan- cellor whoy wonld be installed as a dictator through an emergeacy proec- lamation and who would virtually be given war-time authority in the en- forcement of his measures. The chancellor's defense to vari- ous political groups of the distatortal remedies he has proposed laid stress upon the ability of the nation at pres- ent to maintain its volume of exports, and the failure that would resuit to | procure raw materials for the various industries. The chancellor pointed out waste in many lines which he de- clared must be overcome through in- creased production, extended working hours and thesmuthless pruning of the public payrolls. | In this Iy voicing the demand put forward | more than a year ago by Hugo Stin- |nes and the other industrialists who seem clearly to have foreseen the coming collapse and have been con- sistently preaching “mere produce | tion.” |Coroner Probes Death , Of Midéletown Woman Middietown, Oct. 3.—An inquiry was made by Cproner L.

Stokes, wealthy realty « operator against Helen Elwood Stokes today was postponed until next Monday. Supreme Court Justice Mahoney made known his decision after an acrimonious debate between Max D. Steur, counsel for the plaintiff and Samuel Untermyer, representing Mr. Stokes. Untermyer declared that under the plaintiff's direction an attempt had been made to prove that “when this defendant was really six years old she was 30 years old and an inmate of a house of prostitution in Chicago.” Mr. Untermyer declared Mrs. Stokes was the “most persecuted lady this country has_ ever known” and that she was “as pure a woman as your wife or mine” indicating Mr, Steur. “I rise to protest,” said Mr. Steur, “I object to the comparison of Mrs, Stokes with Mrs. Steur. The com- parison is highly improper and une calley for. I know nothing person« ally about Mrs. Stokes. Mr, Unter- myer may be does know whereof he eaks as to her character, but Mrs, Steur is not in court and I reséent what has been said.” Think Chicago Enemies Killed Ansonia Italian | New Haven, Oct. 3.—No facts were |given out by Coroner Mix today in his probe of the murder of Nazareno Santoro, at Ansonia Sunday night.
