English Woman Accused Of Swimming Hoaxes Claim of Almost Crossing Chan? nel Called Fraud in Affidavit Printed by Newspaper LONDON, Sept. 5.? The swimming exploits of Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, noted English swimmer, are being sub- ? jected to the same sort of attacks as | those which were prevalent after Dr. Cook's famous polar exploration. Since August 20, when Mrs. Hamil? ton claimed to have almost swam the English Channel, after having been in the water twe'nty hours, other swim? mers have been demanding proofs of | her adventure. "The Evening Stand- : ard" to-day printed an affidavit of a i prominent Margate business man, A. L. j Porter, alleging that Mrs. Hamilton's i exploit of September, 1920, when she ! claimed to have spent, twelve hours in j the water in bad weather, and to have | reached within nine miles of the i French coast, was a fraud. Mr. Porter asserts, in his affidavit, that he lent Mrs. Hamilton a motor boat to accom- | pany her, and that she left the water I after an hour and spent the night in the boat in Margate Harbor with Mr. Porter and other members .of the ac? companying party. Mrs. Hamilton was accompanied on her last trip by a tug occupied by French sailors. Her rivals are now de? manding a chart of her trip, of which the tug captain says there is none. It is also complained that there were no reliable witnesses aboard the tug. Mrs. Hamilton, in an interview this evening, denied the statements of Mr. Porter. She characterized his 'accusa? tion of fraud as a "vile libel." Bureau to Scrutinize All Permits for Liquor Inquiry Expected to Weed Out Forged and Illegally Used Certificates WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.?Investiga? tion of all outstanding liquor permits is to be begun shortly, and many cancella? tions may follow, prohibition enforce? ment officials said to-day. Some time will be required, they de? clared, to scrutinize the thousands of permits authorizing withdrawal and sale of intoxicating beverages, but it is intended to comb out all but bon? fide users of the certificates. Officials assert the bureau has no ac? curate information as to how many outstanding permits arc forgeries or are being used for illegal purposes. By taking up each permit as an original | application, however, they hope to con- I fine the authorizations wholly to the | purposes defined by the prohibition act. ! No wholesale .cancellation of liquor j permits is planned^ officials said. ! Hundreds Flee From Fire Tenement Dwellers Driven Into Street by $100,000 Blaze Several hundred persons were driven into the streets from tenements early yesterday morning by a fire, which destroyed the garage of Smitkin & Freeman, at 59 Frost Street, Brooklyn, causing a loss of $100,000. Streams of water played upon the adjoining fac? tory of the Modern Cooperate Com? pany, where a large quantity of resin was stored, and upon the three six story tenements from 72 to 76 Rich? ardson Street, prevented the flames from spreading. Reserves of the Herbert Street, Bedford Avenue and Groenpoint Ave? nue stations, under command of Cap? tain John Walling, turned out the resi? dents of tho tenements until the fire was under control. The blaze started in the rear of the garage from an un? determined cause. A new night watch? man was unaware of the fire until he found himself choked and blinded with smoke, he said. -.-, Shot Twice by Stray Bullets Brooklyn Man Finds Harlem Dangerous Ground John Soto, of 430 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, who had been visiting friends in Harlem, was on his way through 110th Street to the subway last night, and had reached Third Avenue, when a bullet struck him in the left thigh. A moment later an? other struck his left hand. Soto looked around, but could not see the marksman, and continued on his way to the subway. When he reached his home in Brooklyn he told his friends there what had happened and asked what the proper procedure was when one was shot. Upon their advice he notified .the police and pres? ently was on his way to Long Island College Hospital in an ambulance. His wounds are not serious.

LOUIS, Sept. 9.?Postmaster General Will H. Hay? declnred himself ; in favor of a service pension for pos? tal employees in an address he made here to-day before the annual conven? tion of the National Association of Letter Carriers. His speech was de? voted largely to a plea for cooperation between capital and labor and an ex? position of the efforts of the Postoffice Department to humanize tho service, both in the interests of efficiency and fairness to the employees. "I^favor a service pension," said Mr. Hays. "By that I mean a pension for, say, thirty years in the service, re? gardless of age. This should be for an amount adequate in the circum tt?ncos " * Mr. Hays pointed out to the letter carriers also that the new postotnee administration had done away with tho automatic retirement policy and that henceforth employees would be per? mitted to remain in the service if they wished. A tuberculosis sanitarium for employees nlso was suggested by the Postmaster General in an address that took up in detail the improvements that already have been brought about in tho Bervice. Mr. Hays spoke cordially of the value of labor organizations, declar? ing: . .... j "The labor of this country is entitled to -and must receive fair representa? tion in all the councils of the nation. "For myself 1 am convinced that the true solution of the questions aris? ing between labor and capital lies in an awakened public conscience, in a thor? ough inculcation of the spirit of tan dealing among men; then in organiza? tion, and in tho establishment of boards of conciliation or arbitration which are absolutely free from the polluting touch of selfish interests or political demagogues, to which the in? terests concerned may freely and con? fidently appeal." Mr. Hays paid a warm tribute to the President, saying: "President Harding possesses just those vital qualities of mind and heart necessary to-day and in the time ahead. His poise of mind, his soundness of i judgment, his hold on fundamentals, j his appreciation of the needs of to-day ? and of to-morrow, his love of the peo- j plo from whom he came and of whom he is one and his faith in them, his magnificent grasp of large affairs, his great native ability and his training in statesmanship, his regard for the opin? ion of others, his experience and suc? cess in the handling of men, his proper appreciation of his country's position as a responsible factor in the world's future, but with the fullest realization of the absolute importance of our own supreme nationalism; his sterling I Americanism, his righteous character and manhood, and withal his thorough humanness, all qualify him in the most exceptional degree for his tremendous responsibilities. "He is in no serfse a partisan Presi? dent, he is the President of us all? j with enough Democrats voting for him i to give them a 60 per cent equity in ? him?and we may look with the most j complete confidence to his perform? ance." Yacht Saves Fishermen Clinging to Upset Boat Rescues Two Philadelphias in Barnegat Bay When Al? most Exhausted ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 5.?? Joseph Handerson, twenty years old. and Fred Geller, twenty-five, both of ?

Tiny Blaze in Times Square Draws Multitude Smoke Squad Finds Only Heap of Rubbish Smoldering in Shop Closed All Day "Fire!" yelled somebody in Times Square early la3t night. "Fire! Fire!" howled somebody else. "Fire! Fire! Fire!" shrieked a third person, and a fourth person turned in the alarm. In ten minutes a crowd of several thousand persons, including firemen, taxi drivers, theater doormen, ticket speculators, chorus girls, first-night? ers, bedroom farce actors, elevator starters and fire insurance investigat- | ois, had swarmed in front of the ! United Shirt Shop, at B78 Seventn ; Avenue, corner of Forty-second Street. | A thin wisp of smoke .was curling from a crack in the door, and after the firemen had properly helmeted themselves and shoved the spectator:; | out of the way and forced an en- ! trance they found that there was still j more smoke inside, but very little lire. I A heap of rubbish in the rear of "the I shop, which had saved its smoldering ! for a day when the place was closed and the help at Coney Island, was the cause of all the excitement. The fire? men conveyed the news to the crowd in front, and the taxi drivers, theater doormen, insurance adjusters and ticket speculators melted away.

Throughout the discussion defection of some of the Amerii Jewry constantly recurred, and general tone was one of unhappin that leading figures in America 1 been allowed to become alienated fi the Zionist movement. Isaac Allen, of New York, decla the delegation from the United Stt jp?esent at the Congress did not i resent the American Jewry, when s men as Louis D.

Smyrna, Once Great Commercial Mart Of Asia, Dead City No Cargo Boats Have Entered Harbor for Months; War of Greeks and Kemalists Blasts Hope for Recovery SMYRNA, Aug. I? (By Mail).? Smyrna, once the greatest commercial mart in Asia, is now like a city dead. There is little to show that it is the base of a Greek army of 200,000. For months no cargo boats havo entered the harbor. Business throughout Asia Minor is paralyzed. Americans con? trol tho little trading that exists, ? There aro three reasons for this stop? page of business. One is the war, an? other is the hopeless rate of exchange (the Turkish pound is worth about 6E cents), and a third is lack of demant for foreign goods. As there seems little likelihood o: an abatement of the war between th< Greeks and Kemalists, local merchant: see little hope of a revival of Smyr na's commercial supremacy. Many o them have left the place for Italy England and America, where they hop< to find greater prosperity. The city itself is bo primitive am unattractive that one wonders why i has been such a bitter bone of conten tion between the Greeks and Turks fo so many centuries. But of course i is the rich agricultural lands withi the province of Smyrna that both side covet. This area, which the Turk call the "Pearl of Asia," is one of th most fertile and produces some of th finest fruit in the world. Smyrna fig and raisins are household terms. Th country also yields the finest leaf tc bacco known. The yearly exports t America amount to millions of dollar The Treaty of S?vres placed Smyrn under Greek administration, with th proviso that after five years the poj ulation might express its preferem for either Turk or Greek control. Although it has a population of u] ward of 400,000 and is considered t both Turks and Greeks as one of tl most modern cities inAsia, Smyrna ? the visitor is disappointing and una tractive. Its narrow, winding, crude! cobbled streets give off an offensi* odor. Its drainage system is deplo ably inadequate. Its transportation ai lighting facilities, too, are woeful defective. There is only a single trai and that consists of a single trac I one-horse line along the water froi : Then Smyrna's hotels are sad a fairs. The most modern of them I forty years old. None of them wou I do credit to the smallest town in t j United States. ! When King Constantine came hei the best accommodation the autho ties could get for him was a smi eight-room terra cotta house that a farmer in America would own. T King and his ministers were not he two. days before they were almc driven out by bugs and mosquitoes. The city has few place,s of amu: ment. There are'two or three ind f.erent moving picture theaters a numerous coffee houses. AU over t Near East the "coffee house" is institution. Here the population s all day sipping Turkish coffee, drinki oozo (a drink that tastes like anise? and talking politics. The natives as a rule are primiti indolent and superstitious. They cai "conversation * beads" to beguile 1 time. These they finger and fum by the hour. The visitor might imi ine the holders of the beads were prayer. Even the horses wear th curious conversation beads. But these cases they are used to keep aw as the natives believe, the "evil e; from the animal. .?-?_-?__-__ Notoi oius Belem Prison Is Given House Cleanii Plague Spot of Mexico Renov ed and Provides Comfort? able Quarters for 1,500 MEXICO CITY, Aug. 14 (By Mail Belem Prison which has been scribed by guidebooks as a "mien soot to be avoided by sightseers," longer deserves that name.

After stating that the power at Muscle Shoals has been per? mitted to go to waste, the letter con? tinues in part: "Mr. Ford's offer may not be the best of which some of our leading con? servationists could conceive. Neverthe? less it seems to be tho. only real offer which has been submitted. Gilford Pinchot's principal objection to it seems to be that Mr. Ford would get his power for nothing. "If Mr. Ford secures the plant it will mean the upbuilding of vast industries which do not now exist. It frill create pay rolls that will pay for the develop? ment several times over every year. It will increase the values of real estate, so that the state will receive infinitely more benefit than appears on the face of Mr. Ford'B offer."
