CLAIMS FEUD. Man Was Slain in Quarrel With Bootlegging Ring, Is Contention. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) TOMS RIVER, N. J., Aug. 18.— The murder of William Giberson, as told to the police by his wife, Ida, now in jail charged with the crime, will be re-enacted in detail In the Giberson home to- by the in- vestigators, Mrs. Giberson will not be present. The authorities say they are unable to believe how Mrs. Giber- gon, @ strong, athletic woman, could have been bound and gagged by two robbers, as she relates, while her husband slept peacefully ten feet away. It has been ascertained that the man was murdered in his sleep. The defense started a backfire to- day to counteract the claim of the State, It has employed detectives with a blanket order to "get the two men who killed and robbed Giberson and bound and gagged his wife.” Willlam H, Jeffrey, attorney for the accused woman, salad the progress of his in- vestigators had already been so satis- factory he saw an excellent chance of being able to prove Mrs. Giberson's story that the murder was committed bys two robbers. It was intimated that the defense hopes to show that Giberson was slain as a result of differences with a gambling and bootlegging ring. In fact it was stated that the defense has two certain men who have been hanging around Lakehurst under sus- picion. They might have committed the crime, according to the theory of Mrs. Giberson's friends, either for the money they knew Giberson had or for revenge, or both, Prosecutor Jayne is having little to say at present. His main investiga- tor, Detective Ellis Parker of Bur- lington County, is supposed to have gone to Mount Holly, his home, to rest, but it is rumored he is away on (Mv angle of the murder mystery. According to report, Parker was employed as a résult of differences be- tweeh the prosecutor and Sheriff Hol- man. Mr. Jayne is understood to have told the Sheriff some time ago that h was not satisfied with the way he conducted criminal investigations, and would develop his own cases hereaf- ter. It is likely the Sheriff can be re: led on to catch the two burglars, if there were burglars. Joseph M. Richmond, Mrs. Giber- son's son by a former marriage, seems to be enjoying the situation as well as # youth could be expected to under the circumstances. He says he un derstands his every movement is be- ing watched, but that he doesn't mind because he wag asleep in his grand- mother’s home at the time of the murder, that he knows nothing about it, and knows the prosecutor “cannot get anything on him." He is reported to have been seen with a roll of bills said to contain any- where from $80 to $1,000, which ru mor said he claimed to have won on a horse race. All he had, he said, was what was left from the $50 he had when he started on vacation—about $25. <= Real Estate Advertisements for the Sunday World Must be in The World Office 7 To-Day Before 6 P.

New York, You Can Have It on the Hip, But You Mustn’t Exploit It In Cafes, Enforcement Agents Visit Resorts in the Tenderloin and Lay Down the Rule. Prohibition Director Day®made an announcement this morning which modifies In a degree the earlier dec- laration that patrons of restaurants and cabarets shall no longer be per- mitted to carry liquor on the hip and drink publicly. “We are not after thesordinary hip toter,"’ said Mr. Day “The man we are after is the one who flagrantly and ostentatiously violates the law, placing his flask on the table before him, drinking openly and making ‘ plain that his attitude is that o! hell with Prohibitiion.’ That is the sort of thing we are going to stop."’ “Mr. Appleby and [ intend to visit all the restaurants, cabarets and hotels in this district where such things are toterated and we are going to warn the proprietors. We are also going to ask for their active co- operation. We shall ask them to dis- play cards in conspicuous places warn- ing their patrons."' The announcement is taken to mean that the man who carries his liquor mdestly and does not display or “ad- vertise” his violation of the law will not be molested—so far as this par- tieular crusade is concerned. Enforcement officials visited the white Hight district last night and warned the proprietors of restau- rants and cabarets that when patrons are permitted to drink publicly “from the hip,” not only the offending pa- tron, but also the manager, waiter or proprietor who permits tt will be arreste This edict caused consternation and indignation along Broadwa: What caused the visits of Pro- hibition’s highest officials to the Broadway resorts early to-day was a source of speculation, Many won- dered if the story of “Diamond Marty” Kline's in the West Side Court yesterday had anything to do with it. He told of having spent’ $22,000 in one place in three months for wine parties and dinners. Later “Diamond Marty,” who is a real estate operator and backer of play producers, elabo- rated by saying in three months, all told, he had spent $150,000 on his wine parties in the White Light Dis- triet. Prohibition forces who made to- day's early morning tour were headed by C, Yellowley, chief of the gen- eral agents in the United States, and included Dr, R. C. Matthews, Aasist- ant Federal Prohibition Commission- er; Ralph A. Day, State Prohibition Director; John A. Appleby, General Prohibition Agent for New York and New Jersey, and John 5S.

RIGHT TO CONTROL TRANSPORTATION High Points in Harding's Address | President Lays Industeinl Gel To Congress on Coal and Railways Declares His Purpose to Maintain Transportation and Right of Labor to Work. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Outstanding points of President Hard- ing's message on the rail and coal strike situation were: Tae declaration that the Executive is resolved to maintain trans- portation and the right of men to work. Immediate creation of a Federal coal agency with a big revolving fund to purchase huge amounts of coal for interstate shipment so as to check profiteering. Ustablishment of a Federal Coal Commission to make a complete investigation of the industry so as to prevent another coal strilke next Aprit Wnactment of legislation later to give the Railroad Labor Board power to enforce its decrees. Broader powers for the Federal Government, so that it may punish those responsible for such outbreaks of violence as the Herrin “butch. ery.” This would be done by giving the Federal to protect aliens.

Recognizes Right of Both Sides to Conduct Their Business, but Deplores Warfare on Labor Unions—Wants Decisions of Rail Board Enforceable Impartially. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (Associated Press).—President Har- - ding in an address to Congress to-day on the industtial situation de- clared that the right of employees and employers alike to conduct their business must be recognized. He also deplored what he termed “warfare on the unions of labor.” The President declared a national investigation for constructive recommendations as to the conduct of the coal industry ‘to be im- perative, and recommended a Government cémmission to advise as to fair wages and conditions. Immediate legislation to establish temporarily a “National Coal Agency.” with necessary capital to purchase, sell and distribute coal, also was urged by the Executive. Stating that the Esch-Cummins act in establishing tHe Railroad Labor Board was inadequate being with little or no power to enforce its decisions, the President recommended action to make the board's decisions “enforceable and effective against carriers and employees alike.” Other than the amendment of the Esch-Cummins law to make the Railroad Labor Board's decisions enforceable the President did not recommend any legislation to deal immediately with the railroad strike. Other “better protection of a measure to give Federal legislative recommendations were for aliens and enforcement of their treaty rights,” courts jurisdiction in protecting aliens, Stone Sees No Immediate Prespect of Peace,| rzx7 or THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.

The text of the President's address to Congress follows: Gentlemen of the Congress: It is manifestly my duty to bring to your attention the industrial situation waich confronts the country. The situation growing out of the prevailing railway and coal mining strikes Is so serious, so menacing to the Nation’s welfare, that I should be remiss if I failed frankly to lay the matter before you and at the same time acquaint you and the whole people with such efforts as the executive branch of the Government has made by the voluntary exercise of its good offices to effect a settlement. The suspension of the coal industry dates back to last April 1, wham the working agreement between mine operators and the United Mine Workers came to an end, Anticipating that expiration of eontract, which was negotiated present with the Government's sanction in 1920, the Administration sought as early as last October conferences between the operators and miners in order to facilitate either a new or extended agreement in order to avoid any suspension of production when April 1 arrived At that time the mine workers declined to confer, toough the operators were agreeable; the mine workers excusing their destin: on the ground that the union officials could have no authority to negotiate until after their annual convention. TELLS OF EFFORTS TO AVERT COAL STRIKE. A short time prior to the expiration of the working agreement the mine workers invited a conference with the operators In the central competitive field covering the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and in spite of the union declination of the Government's in- formal suggestion for the conference, five months before, the Govern- ment, informa!ly but sincerely, commended the conference, but it was declined by certain groups of operators and the coal mining contro- versy ended in the strike of April 1. It was instantly made Nation-wide, so far as the organized mine workers could control, and included many districts in the bituminous field where there was neither grievance nor dispute, and effected a complete tie-up of the production in the anthracite field. It is to be noted that when the suspension began large stocks of coal were on hand, mined at wages higher than those paid during the war. There was only the buying impelled by necessity and there was a belief that coal must yield to the post-war readjustment. When the stocks on hand began to rei such diminution as to menace industry and hinder «nsportation, approximately June 1, overtures were int- tiated by the Government in the hope of expediting settlement. None of these availed. Individual and district tenders of settle (A RL TRI
