Dry Law Held
To Govern U. S.
Ships at Sea
Commissioner Williams An?
nounces Ruling Based on
Opinion Rendered by the
Acting Attorney General
All Officials Are Notified
Prohibition Act Is Made to
Apply Even When Vessels
Are in Foreign Waters
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Provlsions
of the National Prohibition Act ex?
tend to American ships, -whether they
be in American waters, on the high
seas, or in foreign waters, Commis?
sioner Williams, of Internal Revenue,
ruled to-day.
Commissioner Williams's ruling based
on an opinion by Acting Attorney Gen?
eral Friersun. was sent to all collectors
of internal revenue and Federal pro?
hibition agents for their "information
and guidance."
The Acting Attorney General's opin?
ion was submitted to the Secretary of
the Treasury, November 1, in response
to a request from the Secretary, of
July 19, as to whether the national
prohibition act applied to intoxicating
liquors on American ships outside of
American waters as well as within the
thre?-mile limit.
Mr. Frierson in reply said: "I think
there can be no doubt" as to the law
?pply'-i? to vessels in American waters.
"Under .he law," he continued, "a ves?
sel registered under the American flag
is in many respects considered a por?
tion of the territory of the United
States and persons on board are gov?
erned by it? laws.
"It follows, therefore," he declared,
"that persons on board an American
vessel, wherever that vessel may be,
ere governed by the lawa of the United
States, to which they would be subject
if within the United States. Indeed,
the jurisdiction of the Federal govern?
ment over them is much broader than
when they are within the United
.Stp.tes. In the latter case, with respect
to the great bu'.k of the criminal laws,
they are subject to the jurisdiction of
the various states and not to that of
?he United States. The various states,
however, have no jurisdiction, even
ver their .own citizens, when on the
,.it*h sous. For this reason Congress
::.ay enact and th.o Federal government
: :.\y criforce criminal laws for the pur
se -of punishing offenders for of
:?:.ses-."committed while on the high
? wh'ich it would not be within the
? wer o? Congress to make applicable
lie same offense if committed with
ine of the states."
The Acting Attorney General also
in the surfit* opinion that the pro
crr.s of '.''.. revenue act, imposing
:' r tax? - on distilled spirits h^ld for
on .'. nerican . %ips, applied where
: the .-?:'.. p may be.
( echs Call on Mayor
To Remove Dr. Killilea
il Service Commissioner Said
?-, !!ave Called Their Organi?
zation Anarchistic
he Czech Gvmnastic Association, or
-', last night adopted resolutions
?ng on Mayor Hylan to remove Dr.
?--vis R. killilea as Civil Service
mnv.3sioner, unless Dr. Killilea
- ives or retracts his alleged charges
at the "Biue Turners," as he called
?he association, are anarchistic. The
--.?solutions were read before 60C
lumbers in their hall at 420 East
Seventy-first Street, by Albert H
Cavae jr., and were heartily applauded
The association's action was bas?e:
on interviews in which Dr. Killilea wa;
quoted as saying that the "Blue Turn
era" were promoting radical thinkinf
among children, and also upon a speed
in Fraunces Tavern before the Alli?e
Patriotic Societies. At that time, how
ever,- Dr. Killilea made a distinctioi
between the "Blue Turners" as beinj
simply a gymnastic body, and the "Rec
Turners," who were radicals, he said.
The resolutions said the "Blue Turn
ers" are so named because they wea
blue uniforms and the word "Turner
means-gymnast. They announce tha
the organization is a New York corpoi
ation, organized in 1867, and include
r :..;.* American citizens and those ii
proc?s of naturalization. They say tha
eighty-three members who volunteere>
on July 1, 1917, were the first larg
vroup from any organization to answe
the government's call in the late wai
that sixty members served in the arme
forces throughout the struggle, and hun
??reds of others served in war activitie
-:nd munition plants.
Dr. Killilea has injured the goo
nam? of the "Blue TurnerB," the rest
lutiona say, and the charges ho is sai
to have made "are absolutely brande
ai a deliberate falsehood and as
base, groundless and unjustifiabl
slander and calumny." Specifically the
urge that if the charges are not prove

Special Cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 19J0, New York Tribun* Inc.
CORK, Dec. 7.?The English Labor
Commission of eleven that arrived in
| Cork yesterday to make an investiga?
tion couldn't have come at a better
time to get a line on the true state of
affairs in Ireland. Last night there
were shooting and housebrenking
enough to satisfy one that if peace i.<
not made soon there'll not be much
left to make peace with. It was al?
most as if the city was holding a spe?
cial demonstration for the commis?
sioners.
All afternoon the usual raiding anc
arresting continued. About 9 o'clocl
last night a few shots were fired or
some Crown forces who were doin*
patrol duty. Then things began ti
happen.
About 0:05 Mrs. Kenny, wife of thi
proprietor of a tobacco and notion!
store at 33 Washington Street?an or
dinary, fairly wide business thorough
fare?opened the door of her housi
to repeated knocks. Six men entered
leaving their motor car running at th<
curb.
Fired Upon, Seek Satisfaction
The men took off their masks, bu
when it was all over Mrs. Kenny coul?
, not remember how tTie'y were dresse?
except that they wore dark blue over
coats. While two of the men covere?
her with revolvers the others ransackc?
the cash till and the show cases an?
then smashed the latter. When she re
monstrated with the men they replied
"We have just been fired on and w
mean to have satisfaction."
Up to the second floor went the mor
They overturned tables, smashe
chairs, windows and mirrors. On th
third floor Kenny, who is an invalii
was in bed. Into his room they marche
to break the washbowl and pitchei
shatter the mirror and smash n statu
ette of the Virgin. The raiders the
departed.
The Tribune correspondent went t
the Kenny house to-day and found th
interior a complete wreck. Next door
at 34 Washington Street, is a jewelr
shop. Healing the commotion in th
Kenny house, the jeweler hurried a
his wares into the back yard. The rai<:
ers entered his premises, but the e>
tent of the damage they did could nc
be determined to-day because the jew
eler had boarded up the place.
Adjoining the jeweler's is anothe
small store, which had just laid in
new stock of knicknacks. Thi- owne
whose name is Cudmore, and his wii
?.ere away, and the shop lar-t nigh
was in charge of their mai?. Cut
moie's six children were a. leen uj
.-tairs. To-day the maid was still s
badly frightened that she could gi\
only an incoherent account of win
hunpened. The raiders said nothin
. while they accomplished their work.
I Gaining entrance by battering in the
i doer, they smashed the show cases
I and candy jars, then marched upstairs
| and wrecked the interior of the house
I as completely as they had done at the
: first places visited.
No One Is Injured
Before 10 o'clock all tho excitement
I was over and the street was quiet
, again. No injury was done to any of
; the dwellers in the houses. All those
; concerned agree that they had heard
I shooting outside just before the raid
and Mrs.. Kenny says she locked hex
! door because of it.
As the members of the labor commis
? sion were leaving their hotel about ?
o'clock this morning a civilian ap?
proached and begged them to visit the
scene of last night's damage. The>
went and found things in a state oi
abandon. The civilian who had gon?
to the commissioners and accompanier
them to the scene said something to i
policeman who was standing by. Th?
policeman evidently resented the re
mark and an altercation resulted. A
length the policeman drew his gun t<
make an arrest. The man grasped thi
gun and a struggle followed. Thi
I policeman did not fire, but eventually
succeeded in subduing his man an<
sending him away in a lorry.
The most fantastic of recent event
came this afternoon. Eyewitnesses sa;
that about 4 o'clock, in Patrick Street
in the heart of the city, six auxiliar;
i cadets took whips from the drivers o
? some jarveys--two-wheeled hackne;
coaches that take the place of taxis 1:
Irish cities?and scourged pedestrian
up and down the thoroughfare, late
returning the whips to the drivers.
Commissioners Are Searched
Many persons on the streets this af
ternoon were ordered by the militar
to take their hands out of their over
coat pockets. Members of the Englis
labor commission were among thos
stopped by the military in thei
j searches.
It is reported that the historic tow
i of Blarney was surrounded yesterda
by armed men, who gathered all the ir
habitants into a crowd and searche
; them and then ransacked their house:
A boy who was walking along a roa
;near Blarney this evening was serious!
wounded by shots from a passin
? motor car.
Notwithstanding that such disordei
; continue, there is more peace talk i
j the air here than even in Dublin.
i general feeling seems to prevail tin
: a truce is near, but the members of th
: Labor delegation do not bolster th
hope. For two days rcople have flocke
to the hotel where the commissionei
are, hoping to see them and ask
something can't he done to bring peac
All Cork has looked hopefully to the;
Laborites to sow the seeds of negotir
tion, and the idea of a truce by Chris
mas has seized upon the inmginatic
of the people.

(Continued "from page one) I
pression that the peace move was in:-]
tiated by the government to throw the j
responsibility for continuing the war-1
fare on the heads of the Sinn F?iners. ?
The first group argues that if Father !
Michael O'Flanagan, acting head of Sinn I
Fein, or any other republican leader, can I
promise the discontinuance of the mur- ?'
der campaign, then he or they must i
be held responsible for past crimes, i
They also insist that there can be no
thought of amnesty for Michael Col-'
lins, Daniel Brenn, Richard Mulcahy
and other leaders oi the Sinn Fein
army.
These two classes of obstructionists ;
certainly are not .epresentstive of the
bulk of opinion in England and Ire?
land, but they are powerful enough to
check if not to kill the growth of the
peace movement.
Lloyd George in Complete Charge
Lloyd George, who is essentially com- ':
promised politically, seems to have
taken complete charge of the negotia?
tions, if the preliminary exchanges
with Irish leaders can be dignified by
that name. He is not likely to be in?
fluenced by the suggestion that Hen?
derson's efforts on behalf of peace were
the result of a desire to draw the Irish
vote in England to the Labor party, nor
will he permit the crown forces to
block his moves by arresting prominent
Sinn F?iners, as in the case of Arthur
Griffith, the MacN'eil brothers and the
six Dublin Councilors takei, yesterday.
Th' Premier's greatest problem is
Sir Edward Carson, who holds him by
a hard and fast agreement, but when
the Premier believes that public opin?
ion will support a strong move, he
might be expected to defy even Carson.
Andrew Bonar Law, Lord Birkenhead
and Walter Hume, all of whom share
Carson's view but lack his obstinacy
and determination, are expected to
help the Premier.
Jeremiah MacVeigh and Joseph Dev?
lin, Nationalist Members of Parliament.,
insist that in Ireland there is an al
most unanimous desire for peace and
that a truce cr.n be arranged by
Christmas without difficulty if the
covernmont will show the least gener?
osity in the matter of terms. These
Irish leader.* agree with Henderson
that the Catholic Church, organized
labor and the responsible leaders of
Sinn F?in would work for absolute
peace.
Meanwhile the number of crimes in
Ireland is steadily decreasing, al?
though the military has been showing
a certain amount of liveliness around
Cork, where an English labor commis?
sion is now makin.; an investigation.
The lull in the fighting is generally
attributed to orders sent out by lead?
ers on both sides to go slow until
negotiation has been tried.
Mine Bureau Extends Work
Will Assist Allied Industries in
Solving*- Problems
WASHINGTON. P-;c. 7.?An innova?
tion in Federal government bureau
methods, involving practical coopera?
tive assistance to the mining, metallur?
gical and certain other industries of
the country in solving many manufac?
turing problems, is outlined in the an?
nual report, of Dr. F. G. Cottrell, Direc?
tor of the Bureau of Mines, made pub?
lic to-day.
This new policy is described as a
direct outgrowth of the World War. It
is declared that not only has the bureau
adopted this advanced cooperation with
the actual needs of. the industries, but
that the leading nations of the world
are following suit, determined not to
be left behind in the race for world
trade. Great Britain, it is said, is
especially alive to this movement.
For this new work the Bureau of
Mines has thirteen well organized ex?
periment stations located in the differ?
ent mining and metallurgical fields of
the country.
The bureau also has agreements for
experimental work with nineteen in?
dustrial concerns, twelve different uni?
versities and with state agencies in
eleven states.
Army Captain
Admits He Was
Spy of Germany
(Continned from paf? en?)
States after a careful training for spy
work in a Gerrffan military academy
i and had instructions to use his judg
' ment in selecting the pror>?r field for
operations. He enlisted in the coast
artillery and later served as a drill
sergeant in an infantry regiment at
Fort Slocum. He entered Plattsburg
as a student officer, made a splendid
record and was graduated from the
training camp with the rank of cap?
tain. He then felt that he was well
prepared to go ahead with his plans
to the very end.
He enjoyed the esteem of the offi?
cers and men of the 48th Infantry until
they learned at reveille fifteen days
after the armistice that Captain Willers
had vanished. They say they learned
also that he had taken with him $6,000
in cash and Liberty bonds. Of this sum,
$4,000 belonged to the company fund,
which had been placed in the cap?
tain's care.
The remainder belonged to enlisted
men. All that he left behind was an
empty suitcase, some cigarettes, an
assortment of out-of-date magazines
and a worthless check for $500.
Officers Swore Revenge
Several officers of the regiment?
tr * majority of them attached to Com?
pany I?swore that they'd forever be
on the lookout for Captain John Wil?
lers. One of them was Lieutenant
Hugh J. Hannigan. Yesterday Hanni
gan saw Willcrs and devoted the after?
noon to seeing that Willers was placed
behind the bars on a government res
' crvation.
Hannigan was in an ascending ele?
vator ut 612 Fifth Avenue when he
noticed a chin in the crowded lift
that was strikingly familiar. He
peered over a woman's shoulder and
got a closer look. He recognized the
chin as that belonging to Captain John
Willers.
Willers left the. elevator at the I
seventh floor and Hannigan followed, j
The former captain entered Room 712 !
and Hannigan waited in the. corridor. \
He hailed a man in the corridor and
instructed him to go downstairs and
pet a policeman and wait in front of
the building. Several minutes later j
Willers, looking neither to the right
nor left, came out of Room 712 and |
took an elevator to the ground floor, i
Hannigan closely following.
When he reached the front of the
building, Hannigan saw that there was
no policeman near and. followed
Willers up Fifth Avenue to Forty
second Street, and then down Forty
second to Sixth Avenue. Meanwhile ;
the man Hannigan met in the corridor .
had reached a patrolman and the two I
of them were walking several yards j
behind Hannigan.
Hannigan Accosts Willers
On Sixth Avenue, between Forty- j
second and Forty-third streets, Hanni- |
gan tapped Willers on the shoulder. ?
"Say, isn't your name Willers?"
asked Hannigan.
"No; guess you have the wrong
man." !
"Don't you recognize me?" persisted
Hannigan.
"Certainly not. I never saw you
before."
Hfe started forward, and Hannigan
clutched him by the sleeve.
"Just a minute. Take off your hat." ?
Willers complied.
" I knew it!" cried Har.nifcan exult- ?
antly. "You're my prisoner."
He called the patrolman who was a
short distance behind and Willers was I
taken to the East Fifty-first Streets
station. He vehemently protested
against his arrest, saying that his name
was not Willers and that he had not
served at Camp Sevier. He reiterated
this on his way to the police station. I
When surrounded by a cluster of de- j
tcctives he continued to protest his
innocence.
"All right," said Hannigan. "I'll ?
prove he is Willers and I'll prove he ?
is a deserter from tho United States I
army. Just give me one hour."
In one hour Hannigan presented him- I
self before the prisoner, and with him !
were Howell and Hatch. The two !
Have you considerable money tied up in a business
that needs aggressive management?
Arc you looking for an executive who can make a
hard jiroposition make money for you?
THEN you should get in touch at once with the man for whom
we're glad to write this advertisement.
In his first job out of college he started as a mechanic's helper
in the shop and ended up as Sales Manager, with distribution from
Coast to Coast.
Then he re-organized an old company into an entirely new one,
in another industry. He invested his own money in the enterprise,
and had sole charge of the financial, purchasing, and sales depart?
ments. The industry was sick from price-cutting and flabby sales?
manship. He kept his sales off a price basis and built up an organ?
ization that sold and delivered service. His product always was
the highest in price?and also in quality. The company has paid
healthy dividends from the time he organized it.
With this momentum achieved so that his organization could
keep it up, this man moved on to one of the biggest executive
positions in the automotive world. He had over 1,000 men under
him. In this job he was eminently successful?he has the habit
of success.
He resigned when the war called for men of his calibre, and
he served in the War Department with conspicuous success. More?
over, he stuck by until just now in order to help close up the War
undertakings properly.
Have you something hard for a real he-executive like this to
accomplish? Do you want to inject into your problem the habit
of success? Do you want a man who doesn't care so much about
the salary as he does that the opportunity for new profits be big
enough to leave him a generous slice with profit fo you? Then
write at once; give an outline of your proposition and ask for any
particulars you want. Address Room 800, Ml Broadway,
New York. N. Y. j
former lieutenants immediately recog?
nized the man as their former superior
officer.
"No doubt about it," ?aid Hatch.
Howell agreed with him.
Willers stood motionless for a mo?
ment gazing at the wall and then sank
slowly into a chair.
"You've got me," he said, in a mat?
ter-of-fact tone. "I'm Willers; I'm a
deserter; I'm licked. I know it, I
\ did the best I could for my country."
j Willers then talked freely and was
questioned at length by the detectives.
! He smiled as he told them that they
had no idea how many Washington
officials were in the employ of the Im?
perial government.
"Are they still there?" he was
; asked.
"That I don't know."
I Willers gave his name to the detec
j tives as "Willet," but last night at
] Governor's Island declared that his
| correct name was Willers.
| Willers told the detectives that he
| married an American girl, a Miss
: Crawford, in Chicago, about a year
; ago. He said she was aware of the
fact that he was a German spy.
I He has roamed at will through many
j states and cities of the country, confi
j dent that he would never be recog
I nized. When he came to New York
! he started a mail order business at
; ?42 West Fifty-third Street, and has
j felt at perfect ease in going to and
! from his business.
He often assured himself that ir
such a city he was safe from detection,
despite the fact that many members
of his former command are New York?
ers.
Willers, according to detectives with
whom he talked, belongs to a wealthj
' German family and has considerable
i money of his own. He formerly lived
I at Ltina, Germany, near Hamburg. He
told the detectives that he had served
the fatherland to the best of his
ability and that it mattered not to him
what disposal was made of his case.
The rigid training that Willers re?
ceived in Germany before coming to
the United States Berved him well in
this country, according to the three
ex-lieutenants who were his fellow
officers at Camp Sevier.
"If not the very best officer in the
48th Infantry," said Howell, "he was
one of the very best. He made a fine
record -a splendid record. He was
well liked by both officers and men, and
the entire command was astounded
when he absconded. Not until to-day
did we know that he was a spy.
"Because of his ability he enjoyed
the esteem of all who knew him, but
after it became known that he had
gone off with $6,000 in company money
ho was hated in the same degree that
he had been admired.
"He was very peculiar in some re?
spects, but never for a moment was he
under suspicion and never was hi;
honesty questioned. I don't think he
went out of camp during the entire
time he was at Greenville. He spoke
almost perfect English, was regard?e
everywhere as r, gooil fellow and playee
a fine game of poker."
It was said last night at 894 River
side Drive?the address Willers gave
as his home?that he did' not live there
anil that no one at the address evci
had heard of him.
Mrs, Willers, a well dressed womai
with dark hair and eyes, called at thi
East Fifty-first Street station shortl*
after midnight this morning. She tole
the desk lieutenant that she had hearc
her husband had been arrested and tha
she wanted his money and keys. Shi
was informed that he had been takei
to Governor's Island and she said tha
she would go there this morning.
Mrs. Willers was asked several c'ues
tions by tho desk lieutenant, but saie
that she did not care to discuss he
husband's confession. She declared
however, that he had always beei
truthful and had not told her a lii
since, their marriage. She said tha
she and her husband lived at 89'
Riverside Drive..
Rumely Testifies
Of Three Meetings
With Berlin Agent
Says Dr. Albert Agreed That
$750,000 Be Advanced to

Further testimony concerning the
purchase and operation of The New
York Evening Mail was given yester?
day by Dr. Edward A. Rumely, its for?
mer proprietor und editor, before

Lindheim and S. Walter Kaufman.
He testified that he had three con
ferencei with Dr. Heinrich Albert
1 German fiscal agent here, concernini

Albert, he said, tried to keep th
amount to be loaned by Herma
Sielcken, the American "Coffee King,
living in Germany, as low as possibl?
It was finally agreed that $750,00
| should be advanced to Dr. Rumely.

I touch with Kaufman, who represente
j Sielcken, and insisted that Kaufma
I should be a member of the board c
j director? and of the financial commi
I tee of the newspaper to prot?t

j news.
Further testimony brought out his
? attempts to sell stock in The Evening
! Mail for the purpose of advancing his
pet scheme of forming a nation-wide
news agency.
The trial will be resumed to-day.
