Liquor Sm Challenge To Authority That Government Cannot Overlook, Lowman Says Defiance of Law Will Not Be Tolerated—Rum Run- ners Who Fired on Cus- toms Boat Face Attempt- ed Murder Charges. ‘Washington, June 22 (UP)—F tensive smuggling of liquor into this country agross the Canadian border line by “international criminals” constitutes a direct challenge to thia government’'s integrity which the United -States cannot overlook, As- sistant Tressury Secretary-Seymour Lowman said today. Deflance of the United States gov- ernment, and not the amount of - quor brought in under cover of darkness by rum runners, is the real reason for the administration's pres- ent anti-smuggling drive in the De- troit sector, he said. “While it is true most of the good MNquor copsumed in this country comes from Canada, the total amount smuggled is insignificant when compared with the total illicit- ly manufactured and transported within our borders,” Lowman said. Lowman said liquor brought in across thé northern boundary last year was valued at about $2¢,000,000 or an equivalent of less than a gill for each of -the 120,000,000 persons in the United States. The fact that smuggling has increased steadily in recent years presents the adminis- tration with a major problem in prohibition enforcement regardiess of the amount involved, he added. “Pushed” By Bootleggers Newspaper publicity and the fact that “bootleggers were pushing us pretty hard” were given credit by Lowman for the treasury decision to initiate its present enforcement of- fensive against liquor smugglers. Forces are being concentrated at Detroit, he said, because about 85 per cent of the smuggled liguor comes in through that port. “While it is too early to have definite figures, our drive so far has resulted smuggling, reports indicate,” Low- man said, He repeated previous sertions that the government will ¢x- tent its campaign along the border Wherever bootleggers are found in large numbers. Spectatcular enforcement episodes recently have concentrated public attention on the border situation, but Lowman emphasized the treasury is not abating one-bit its domestic en- forcement efforts. With the extra $2,700,000 appropriation provided by congress at its last regular ses- sion, the treasury is employing addi- tional agents for all parts of the country, he said. Ogdensburg, Y., June 22—Two of the principal witneages and their superior officer, sought for days by sherifts with subpoenas demanding their appearance at Plattsburg Mon- day at a hearing into the shooting & week ago of Arthur Gordon, alleg- ed beer runner, were served late last night. ; The men were John C. Tulloch, Collector of customs, and Border Pa- trolmen Weldon J. Cheatham and F. L. Coveney. Cheatham has admitted to Tulloch that he fatally wounded Gordon, who he said was trying to escape after being trapped with a load of beer, but explained the shooting was accidental. At the hearing Monday the dis- trict attorney will introduce as a “surprise witness” Davidson Pratt of of Mooers, who county officials say, has told them he saw everything that took place last Saturday morn- ing when Gordon was shot near the [border up to the time Gordon jump- d from his automobile and started [back for the boundary. Face Serious Charge Windsor, Ont., June 22 (—Re- nforcement of the waterfront pa- trol and search of rum craft for eapons during the United States pfensive against Detroit river liquor muggling was urged today by Al- red E. Cuddy, deputy commission- r of Ontario police. After Inspecting export docks long the Canadian side of the Dc- roit river from Lake Erie to Lake Bt. Clair, Cuddy said he would rec- pmmend to Attorney General A. H. Price that additional officers be sta- ioned along the Essex county wa- erfront as a precaution against hooting on the river which might sult in serious complications. No armed rum runners or boats ere found at any of the export locks he visited, he said. Charges of attempted murder wait on both sides of the river fhe rum runners who opened fire n a customs patrol boat last Wed- esday. On the Canadian side, Cuddy said at if they identified, charges jould be laid against them in On- rio courts. He said after his investigation at he was convinced the persons hpvolved were Americans. Walter 8. Petty, acting collector [t customs for Detroit, said that if le men were captured in Canada eir extradition to face charges of tempted murder in United States urt would be demanded. Another Clash Another clash between rum run- rs and the customs patrol was in- icated last night when firing was rd on the river about 12 moles uth of Detroit. % USHERED OUT OF STORE Officer Joseph Kennedy was called to the General Auto Supply Co. ore at 116 Main street yestérday h complaint of Louis Block of 40 alnut street that he had been as- ulted by Harry H.

Three endurance flights were in prospect. The first was tentatively scheduled to get under way tonight with Leo Nomis and Maurice Mor- rison, Los Angeles pilots, alternating at the controls of a cabin plane with {a 110 horsepower motor.

May Go to New York There was a possibility that the airmen might have decided to con- tinue directly to New York after passing San Miguel in view of the perfect weather conditions reported there. This was strengthened by a friend of Major Franco who was quoted at Murcia as saying that {f all went well Major Franco had a surprise for everybody and would be in New York by 8:00 a. m,, Sun- day morning. Murcia, Spain, June 22 (»—Pos- sibility that Major 'Ramon Franco might deliberately miss the Azores altogether and continue direct to New York was advanced here today by a friend, & writer' for Diario la Verdad, who talked with him just before he took off yesterday. The friend said he had a surprise for everybody. and that it all went well he would be in New York by 8 a m. Sunday morning, breaking both distance and time records for hydroplanes. The aviator claimed the machine he was taking, called by some the Jupiter, a “Dornier Whale 16" was | capable of much greater speed and carrying load than the Numancia the plane originally fitted for his flight. Claims Plaie Speedy. He claimed a speed of 300 kilo- meters an hour (186 miles) for his hydroplane, it was said. At the last minute the aviators abandoned their machine, the Nu- mangja, which had been prepared especially for the flight for a large Dornier Whale 16 which he brought recently from Italy. Many here did not know of the change in machines, and believed him flying the Numancia.

Fahy Plans Flight Lieutenant Herbert J. Fahy, who recently broke all unofficial records for solo non-refueling flight, plan- ned to take off next Wednesday in an attempt to establish an altitude record for commercial airplanes, He hopes to reach a height of 39,000 feet.

REPAIRS AIRPLANE THOUSAND FEET UP (Continued from First Page) the emergency. Brings Ship to Earth Safely ‘Then came the crucial test when the safety of the passengers and the plane would be subjected to the landing. Dixon resumed the controls, circled the field until he had the smoothest spot under him and eased his ship in, with a fish- tall wiggle that placed the plane on the ground without a quiver. The ship was undamaged and the passengers were no worse for their experience. Dixon was slightly scratched on his body while mak- |ing the repairs. Speaking to a Herald reporter about his accident, Dixon, with his characteristic modesty, refused to regard it as anything dramatic. But he admitted that, while he had landing wheels drop off before, the broken strut might have caused a serious accident if it had not been discovered before a landing was attempted. ‘Has Flown 5,000 Hours Dixon is a veteran birdman, with nearly &000 flying hours to his credit. He enlisted with the Cana- dian Royal Air Forces when he was 19 years old, after being rejected by a local recruiting officer. For a year he was the youngest com- missioned officer among the Cana- dian aviators. He was decorated for bravery and three years ago ro- ceived the Distinguished Flying Cross from the British government, the highest honor paid to Great Bri- tain’s aviators. He is.the son of Mrs. John E. Dixon of Lincoln street, who recently told in an interview for Herald readers how Carl got his first in- spiration to fly from seeing, as a boy, Charles K. Hamilton swoop down over their house. A short time ago, Dixon was mar- ried to Miss Lillian C. Christenson, teacher of physical education at the Central junier high school. He is operations manager for the L. and H. Aircraft Co and is noted throuzh- out New England for his fiying ability.

Burgess also told the postal inspectors that he had placed the other pouch on a train for Bridgeport, which is on the route for mail matter. Inspector Breslin said the check- up showed that four pouches were consigned to Ansonia, but only three were delivered. STUCKA IDENTIFIED DYING INHOSPITAL (Continued from First Page) connect Stuka. Suspect Pair of Theft The police, however, are fairly certain that Stuka and Ackerman |stolen a roadster owned by Rudolph Poglitsch of 74 Seymour street, which was parked at East Main and Spring streets. This is the car which struck the parked car on East street, {injuring Ackerman so badly he was caught by the police. Officer Wil- liam Grabeck saw Stuka and Acker- man in a Main street restaurant about 11:45 o'clock Thursday night, and they were together when they {turned into East Main street a few minutes later, Poglitsch’s car was stolen a few minutes after mid- night and the police theory is that Stuka and Ackerman stole it. Stuka, who was arrested in 1921 with Ackerman for burglary in Max Kennedy's store on Park street, re- turned to New Britain only a few days ago, having been in New York for some time. It is believed he ran away from the East street crash and sceing John Avitable's car un- der a shed at 125 Smalley street, jumped into it and sped towards New York. At North Haven the railroad crossing the gates were down for a passing train but he crashed through, missing a colli- sion with the locomotive by inches. and a few seconds later the steering wheel had left his control and the car plunged down an.embankment. Threatens With Gun Leaving_the wreckage, he warned Eno Tralor, gate tender, to keep his distance or he would shoot him and a short distance further along the highway he entered Dudley's garage where he took a car owned by Ed- ward Boyle. In Hamden this car was found in a ditch, wrecked, and the wild driver was unconscious be- side it i Today, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Ackerman, on the charge of theft of Poglitsch’'s auto- mobile. It is said he admitted to Sergeant O'Mara at the hospital that he stole it but he would not say that Stuka was with him.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS out early today %o greet Commander Ramon Franco and his three flight companions aboard the hydroplane Dornier No. 6 whe nthey were ex- pected to arrive here on the first leg of their transatlantic ojurney from Cartageni, Spain, to the United States. The aviators were due at an early hour. According to reports from Spain the hydroplane had been in communication with several steam- ers during the night and had report- ed that all was well. The Danish steamer Dyke had communicated with the plane at midnight and was informed that all was in order aboard the plane and that it was heading toward the Azores. The British steamer All Right also was in touch with the plane during the night. The aviators reported that all was going smoothly and that they hoped to reach the Azores not long after daybreak. They also said they expected to depart for New York shortly after refueling here. Advices from Spain said that Franco, who had made a successful filght across the South Atlantic in 1926, expects to make the flight from her to New York—2,391 miles—in 28 hours and thus better the hydro- plane distance record, which is 1,- 925 miles for 24 hours. The weather here this morning was excellent for the fliers. Fresh winds blew from the northeast. The sea was calm and smooth. At the airport everything is ready to help the fliers refuel their tanks. Departure a few minutes after land- ing here was possible. Along with Franco are Captain Ruiz De Alda, Commander Gallarza mnd Mechanic Madariaga. All three are veteran fliers. They took off from Alcazares airport, Cartagena, 8pain, at 4:49 p. m. yesterday and made to- ward Gibraltar. From there they headed for this island. The fliers hope to complete their trip to the United States and back in 10 days, if the weather favors them. But their return route may be over a different course, further to the north, along the Newfoundland coast.

King Then the address by Mr. King which follows in full, was delivered: | “About this time of year'in every |section of our country, young Amer. ica is bheing exposed to plenty of good advice. Graduation speakers must say something because pro- grams require it. They paint for the young folks bright inspirational pictures of great futures and how best to realize them. How much of the advice is followed is a question. T once listened to a mock trial in which one of the witnesses did not speak English. When he was called upon to give his testimony he rat- tled on excitedly for about 10 min- utes in a very agitated voice and in a language which no one but the interpreter understood. When he had finished, the interpreter turned to the court and solemnly announc- ed, ‘He says No.' I am inclined to think that the young people listening to graduation speeches are prone to summarize what is said in some such manner. “Youth is in a hurry, it has small patience with delay, and it is prob- able that when a speaker faces a class of young people on graduation which when all is said and done is all important. “It has been said genius is synonym for sweat. A few al material success quickly and easily, but very little of a permgnent na- ture that is really worth while is ac- complished ' without work — hard work and plenty of it. Must Ask “Is It Right" “Of course, today even the lisp- ing child understands the need for watching. The automobile has taught us this, and in a few years when the airplane is in general use, we shall have to develop the art of watching in five directions at one time. It is possible that the necessity of con- tantly watching in a physical sense is so fatiguing or dvertig thateta is so fatiguing or diverting that many have ceased to watch in a much more import- ant scnse. This age is so con- cerned with the checks and bal- ances over which the banker pre. sides that it is disposed to skim over, or entirely disregard the checks and balances which make for the moral well being of the world. What we need today is a rising eration which will not ask itself, I get away with it, but, is it right. We have need every moment to con- sider the rectitude of the thoughts and impulses which come to us, to carefully consider the coensequences of our projected actions—to watch, and principally to watch ourselves. Entirely too many people are con- cerned with watching the other fel- low. “Now, as to the final word—pray. This is quite old fashioned. It fsn't e€ven mentioned among the intelli- gentsia. and according to the teach- ing of many alleged scientists it is | ‘hokum.’ But two thousand years of the world's finest accomplishment has rested upon it. Carlyle tells us that he who strongly desires a thing is alwa; well favored by chance. Perhaps, chance ‘plays a much smaller part than many of us think. But constant urge from within im- pels us to reach out in the direction of our ambition's goal, and con- aciously or sub-consciously we are influenced to do the things which lead toward that goal.

There were two young women and a young man in the single seat with Boehle and only one, Miss Grace Gustafson of Meriden when the coupe crashed into the rail fence, knocking it down and olerturning in the lot several feet off the roadway. Miss Gustafson was in court today. having recovered from two fractures of the skull. 8he still wears a plaster above the right eye. Boehle's First Arrest Judge Saxe took into considera- tion the fact that Boehle had never been a ed before. He remarked that any driver traveling over an un- familiar highway should exercise special care and precautions as to speed, whereas Boehle® must have been going at a very fast rate of speed to knock down the fence and overturn his car. It was fortunate, he said, that the accident didn't re- sult fatally. Frank Miller, 23, of 716 Stanley street, pleaded guilty to the charge of speeding. Motorcycle Officer William O'Day testified that Miller drove at the rate of 40 miles an hour at 9 o'clock last night on Farming- ton avenue, upper end, where there are no sidewalks and pedestrians use the road. A fine of $10 without costs was impoeed. Melville Frazier, 18, of 52 Judd avenue, a sailor on week-end leave, pleaded guilty to the charge of driving without a license. Officer W. J.

Religious services with priests in charge will resume in Mexican Catholic churches not later than June 29. The working agreement reached between the Mexican governi and the Catholic church leaves the Mexican religious laws, to which" the Catholics had objected, in force, but allows interpretation of the most contested points in such a manner a8 to remove friction between the government and the church autheri- ties. Three Points Included ‘The interpretation made by Pres. ident Emilio Portes Gill in his state- ment announcing the agreement | yesterday includes three principal pointa: 1—That the government can pe- quire the registration of those priests only who have been duly named by the hierarchical superior of the re- ligious creed in question. 2—That ministers of any religion may teach their doctrines to Mexi- can adults and children within the confines of their churches when at- tendance is specifically for that pur- pose. 3—That all citizens have the right to petition for the repeal, amend- ment or passage of any law, a4 that therefore the members of any church may apply to the proper au- thorities for sych action. Eliminates Old Problem The first interpretation was de. signed to remove Catholic objections l(o the regirement in the religious laws that all priests must register with the government before they can hold services in their churches. The Catholics feared that the gov. ernment would attempt to contrel the number of priests in the parishes, or perhaps authorize priests inot recognized by high church au. thorities. The second interpretation was to elimi » differences resuiting from the law prohibiting priests from giving religious instruction in pub- lic or private primary or secondary achools. The third interpretation was more general in nature and designed to assure the people that they had pro- tection against unwanted laws. While not the final settiement hoped for between the church asd the state, the agreement announced by President Portes Gil and Archs bishop Leopold Rulz y Flores was regarded by both as definitely end. ing the discord that Nhas existed sincé 192, when the religious laws went into effect. Oalled Basis for Settlemont The president in his statement, however, described the agreemenat as “a basis for settioment.” Further negotiations will be carried ‘of, ft was understood, to smooth out th slightest differences, after which written agreement will be drawn up between the two parties. In announcing the agreement, Portes Gil said the Mexican consti- tution and laws were not aimed &t any church and that his administrs. tion had attempted to enforce them without partiality. He - disclaimed any intention by the government of interfering with the spiritual fume. tlons of any church. Portes Gil began his statement by saying that Archbishep Ruiz y Flores and Bishop Pasqual Dias, who assisted in the negotiations, as- \m!es.
