Miss Wise staggered cut to the road,

there told a policeman what had occurred.
The policeman remembered

a negro chauffeur was near the
scene when it occurred. l>ut did not
interfere because he thought the attack
was merely the romping of a

attempted assault was so daring and
occurred in such a conspicuous spot
that he did not at the time believe
it possible a man meant to harm Miss
Wise.

headquarters and obtained from Miss
Wise a description of the man who
attacked her. She said he was dressed
in khaki-colored overalls, similar
to those worn by mechanics. He was

SHIP LIQUOR ORDER
HELD UP BY COURT
?Continued from First Page.)
foreign vessels should be adopted,
although Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, in preparing a draft of a notice
to ship owners, advocated forfeiture
of such vessels violating the
law. Mr. Mellon was declared to feel
that the ruling should be enforced
by seizure merely of illegal liquors
and by imposition of fines.
Foreign ships passing through the
Panama canal with liquors aboard are
to be exempt from the new ruling.
Penalties for Violation.
Penalties for violation of the Hon An
ship liquors recently promulgated by
the Attorney General will apply to
foreign and American ships, according
to provisions of the national prohibition
act. it was stated at the Department
of Justice today.
While no new regulations will have
to be devised for application to the
ship side of the prohibition penalty,
it was explained that the Volstead
act. already a law, will apply.
These penalties were outlined in a
formal statement issued today by
Assistant Attorney General Mrs. Willebrandt
for the Attorney General.
The statement said:
"Foreign and American ships by the
recent opinion alike become amenable
to the provisions of the national prohibition
act (Volstead act).
Provisions of Act.
"Section 29 of said statute provides
penalties for transporting, importing,
and possession of $500 for first offense,
and $1,000 for selling, for first
offense, and a penalty of $2,000 for
second offense.
"The other provisions of the Volstead
act which may be invoked are:
(a) Nuisance provisions, sections 21,
23 and 24, which provide enjoining
its use, and declaring a fipe of $1,000.
(b) The so-called transportation section,
section 26 of the Volstead act,
which provides for 'The seizure and
forfeiture of the water and aircraft
or other vehicle.' This latter section,
however, is invoked as a proceeding
accompanying criminal prosecution
against the driver or master of the
vehicle, or craft and is for transportation
only."
Officials of the Department of
Justice were without notice today of
the Intended visit here of legal representatives
of the Cunard Line to arrange
for the "presentation" of a teat
case under the ruling against liquor
on foreign ships in American waters.
Attorney General Daugherty said he
would be glad to meet with representatives
of the line, or if other matters
prevented his giving personal attention
to their business he would instruct
Solicitor General Beck to represen
the department.
Difference of Opinion.
Sharp difference of opinion over
seizure of foreign ships cropped out
today as existing between legal
?ouncei tor iue pruuiuiitun unit, wnicii
framed the tentative regulations to"
so out today, and high officials of the
Treasury.
On reviewing the tentative regulations
which were said to provide tor
seizure of foreign ships, Treasury otfioials
were representated as declaring
foreign ships could not be Beized
in the operation of the new ban.
, At the Department of Justice, however,
"seizure and "forfeiture of the
water or aircraft or other vehicle"
was said to be the penalty for violation
of the Volstead law in crlminal
prosecution for "transportation." i

have been caused by blood. An

his philosophy, his great heart ami

I spirit in his everyday dealings, was
made by Alton B. Parker, chancellor
of the Sulgrave Institution of the

"We admire and love him not only
I for his advocacy of the colonies as

! Parker said, "not alone because nc
, men across the water have under,
stood us as a people and appreciated
' our institutions as well as did he al

of the principles upon which
such a government must be fourulec
that his pronouncements must be forever

"He left for our study and guidance
a complete, authoritative and comprehensive
chart by which we maj
lay the course of our ship of state.

A. 0. BLISS SUES SON
FOR FOND ACCOUNTING
Alonzo O. Bliss, local millionaire, j
today filed suit in the District Su- j
prerne Court against his son. Arthur !
L. Bliss, for an accounting of a fund
created some years ago by the father
for the benefit of a younger son by |
his second marriage, Alonzo O. Bliss,
jr., now seventeen years old. i
The removal of the elder snn as
trustee of the fund, which is I
described as containing "valuable!
slocks, bonds and other properties." j
is asked in the petition. The younger
son joins with the father in the re- I
quest for the removal of his half- j
brother as trustee.
The father tells the court, through
Attorneys Dan Thew Wright and
Phillip Ershler, that he desired to
arrange a competency for his younger
son so that he might have spending
money during his minority and have
the trust fund surrendered to him
when he attains his majority September.
1926.
The father declares that since December,
192Q. Arthur. L. Bliss has refused
to account to him or to the
beneficiary of the fund. He has also
failed to pay over spending money
to the boy, although the income from
the fund has been ample, it is stated.
Included In the fund is a block of ;
S'ock in the Bliss Medical Compinv,
which is in the name of the defend- .
ant as trustee. This stock, it is
claimed, is voted by the son, together

of $10,000 per annum, the court is
advised.

Dr. Stratton Going

on January 1.
Brilliant Service
Rendered U. S. \
for 21 Years.
After twenty-one years of service j
to the government. Dr. Samuel W. ;
Stratton. director of the bureau of j
standards of the Department of Com- j
| merce, has resigned his post. His J
resignation was accepted late yester- j
| day by Secretary Hoover, and it is
| understood that, as soon as he has put
j his affairs into shape, the eminent j
I scientist will accept the offer to bej
come president of the Massachusetts
j Institute of Technology, which high
position was tendered him yesterday.
He is expected to take over his new
duties the first of next year. j
During war and peace Dr. Stratton ,
has made of his bureau one of the 1
most efficient cogs of the government,, j
maintaining at all times progress I
that has kept pace with civilization ]
of inestimable value to the Army and
Navy during the past conflict, and to '
commerce and industry at all times.
Prained l?y Mr. Hoover.
"The loss of Dr. Stratton." Pecre-j I
tary Hoover declared yesterday, "is j
a Brett t national loss."
In praising the- long and highly sue- j,
cessful government career of Dr. j
Ktratton yesterday, the Secretary of j
Commerce said. "While the Massa- {
rhusetts Institute of Techrology is to j

One-way streets again are being j i
considered a: the District building '
as a means of improving traffic con- j j
altions.
Commissioner Oyster said today *
that he has discussed the one-way i
street question with Inspector Albert j
J. Head ley. chief of the traffic bu- (
reau. and requested that official to !
inquire into it further. j <
"We will have to come to one-way , :
streets here sooner or later and we { !
might as well begin to think about]
it now," the Commissioner declared. <
Tried Out Year Ago.
The Commissioners about a year
ago tried out the idea on that part of j '
10th street in the business district, j i
but after many protests restored the j 1
two-way rule. i !
< <
Commissioner Oyster said he be- ; lieves
one-way streets would facali- .
tate travel in automobiles. He voiced j '
the view that whatever time a mo- j
torist would lose in getting to the {
[one-way street would be more than!
made up by the fact that his ma- !
chine pould travel more expeditiously i
alter reaching a thoroughfare on j
which no vehicles would be coding j
! toward him.

:
i The Commissioner also urged the !
; widening of more of the main streets '
\ where spacious sidewalks now exist !
; as a means of improving traffic con- |
; ditions.
| Commissioner Rudolph concurred in
[this suggestion, but pointed out that
it takes money to move curbs, which is
I one thing the engineer department is
not oversupplied with.
| Thirteenth street from G to E
[ street is a striking illustration of
I the advantage of making the roadj
way wide and the sidewalk narrow.
W omen to Suggest Plana.
I The increased danger brought about !
! by the revival of roller skating has
i served to awaken new interest among
I city authorities in the traffic situa
! tion and methods of improving it. j
! The public welfare committee of the
j District Federation of Women's Clubs 1
will forward to the Commissioners
i tomorrow a list of suggestions for
1 safeguarding children on skates and i
for reducing traffic congestion gen- j
| erally.
The committee met for nearly two
i hours yesterday afternoon at the ;
! home of Mrs. Ellis Logan and dis
cussed the street-safety problem from
i every angle.
Would Mark Off Sections. A
i Mrs. Logah said the committee will
suggest to the Commissioners the ad- \
visibility of designating groups of i
three streets in the various neighbor- j
hoods for roller skating. It was not
the committee's idea, she said, that i
the roadway be closed for skaters, i
but that a narrow strip near the curb I
be marked off with a white line.
The committee also will recommend j
one-way streets for traffic generalty. i
Mrs. Logan said it was the consensus
at the meeting that parents
can do a great deal toward reducing
accidents by impressing the dangers
of street skating upon their boys and
girls.
