"I do not think that people bf New

"I do not Intend to reply to the
letter of Timothy N. Pfeiffer, attor

therefore, I shall not answer. I do
not answer such letters."/
Public Demanda Action.
Public sentiment, however, is de
manding that the governor take ac
tion. The people are wondering why
tt was necessary for Universal Serv
ice to bring forth documentary proof
?bowing:
1. Indisputable evidence of the
intimacy between Mr. HaU and Mrs.
MlUs.
2. Indisputable evidence that the
aloln pair for months carried on a
secret romance that culminated In
the double murder.

dence that Mrs. HaU either knew or
suspected that Mrs. MlUs had stolen
the love of her husband and had.

of the signed statement he made for
the'authorities. He talked ln the
presence of the man who accom

"I am giving this interview to

"I told my friend that she had

"On the way to New Brunswick

LONDON. Oct. ?21.?Lord Rother

opponent of former Premier David
Lloyd Oeorge. today sprang to the
defense of the Welsh statesman.
Lord Rothermere'a greatest hos
tility waa againat the Lloyd Oeorge

fense of the ex-premter today Lord
Rothermere said:
"There is widespread belief that
the people will recall Mr Lloyd

no other statesman tn Europe of

TO DOILD BIG
Admiral Vogledesang to Head
Expert Commission to Leave
Here Soon.
Hj- t strerasl fterrlc-e.
The I'nited 8t_tes is sending a
large naval commlssioln to Brazil to ?
assist that country in the develop-1
ment of her navy, it waa learned t j '
day. ' |
Expert? In every line of naval war
fare and construction will m.ik?- up
a board of sixteen commissioned of-1
ficera which will sad for Brazil in
December. A large staff of non- ?
? .inimlssloned officers and enlisted ?
men will go along as instructors and '
assistants.
Admiral Vogledesang will be in
charge of the t-ommlas.on, with Cap- '
tain Overstreet as chief of staff. ?
; commlsaion ?of French army officers
la already in charge of reorganizing
the Brazilian army nnd the work
of tbe two commission?? will keep
, pace, although no lu-rangements
? have been made for co-operation.
Arrangement? for tbe dis|<atch of
' the commission were concluded be
tween the State Departemnt and
representatives of the Brasilian gov
ernment. No definite time for the
commlaalon to remain ln Brazil ha?
been fixed, but on account of the
highly technical nature of the work,
tt wa? aald. It would probably take
several years.
Haa AiublUoua Plan?.
Advices to intelligence officers of
the army and navy are that Brazil
has launched an ambitious plan to
become the dominant power of South
America, ?nd tbe ?overnment I? pre
pared to spend a large aum of money
to thl? end. The plan, ?dvlcea state.
contemplates the construction of ad
ditional and more powerAil battle
craft and Instruction ln operations,?
defensive and offensive warfare.
Tbe American commlsaion wi'l
take practican?! complete charge of
the navy during the reorganization
period, it ia learned.
The Brar.zllians have established
a naval war college, which Is to be
modeled after thn American Insti
tut ton of this name at Newport. R I.
T h ???hove aftw> ft naval academy, rfiid
Amsswan officers are to take hold of
this and reorganizo tho system of
training. It Is said.
This move will probably mark Ino
opening of a race between Brazil,
Argentine and Chile for the supre
macy of South America, officiata
here aay. They point out that there
has long been rivalry between the
three large republics for the domina
tion of the continent, and th.it thla
action on the part of Brazil will like
ly put her m first place.
Navy Already Big.
Brazil a 1 rady haa a large navy,
reckoned by South American stand
ards. It was learned at the Navy De
partment. She haa the foUowIn?
arme menta:
Two battleship??. 1?.?X>0 tons, 22
knots, with batteri??? of twelve 12
tnch and twenty-four 4.2-h-ich gun*:
two cruisers, one scout cruiser, two
rtver monitors, four gunb??????, ten
destroyers, one torpedo boat, one sub
marine tender and three submirines.
In add.tion ????? has a number of con
verted merchantmen and auxiliary
craft.
Brazil has also two shlpvanls
where ships may be constructed, but
will have to Import the steel. ?

a disgruntled Democrat of Woon?

seeking the nomination for a seat
In Congress, and who then threat

Three $500 bilia are alleged to

J. Henry Reuter. Beechman'a for

manager, and delivered to Lagace
for his support, especially desired
because Lagace has great Influence

Rhode Island Is about 20 per cent
of the total.
Has Offended Voters.
It had already been offended and
h l lena nil by f Ialini- of the Repub

candidates for office, including re

The newspaper displays on Ita

Biltmore Hotel here, where Reuter

local branch of Harriman A Co.,

The significant thing about this

of the envelope shows the penciled

CIMICE
But Muent Become "Pernic
iously Active" in Politics.
Camp Explains Law.
I
Government employee working in
Washington', but having a legal or
voting residence elsewhere, have a
perfect right to express thetr per
sonal, political opinion and exercise
their native right of suffrage.
This is the "suggestion" ot the
Civil Servie? Commission In answer
to a letter fr??m Henry M. Camp,
chairman of the Republican State
votera" campaign committee, which
now haa headquarters at 134*! O
street northwest.
"While the rule of the commission
prohibits thoae In the classified serv
ice from becoming perniciously active
in politics." Mr. Camp said taliy, I
"there la nothing to prevent Govern- ?
ment employee from attending politi
oa] gatherings, contributing to cam- <
paign funda, seeking information re
garding registration, voUng, or dis- ?
ermsing polities."
This Interpretation of the law waa.
given by Mr. Camp tn answer to a
series of quetsiona submitted be
cause of a misunderstanding on the
part of many men arid women who
I feared that any political activity
might jeopardize their Jobs.
The Republican headquarters In
G street today was prepared for a
rush of local voter? lo get their votes
"hack home." The? new quarters are
sufficiently large to permit handling
a large number of applicants. Mr.
Camp called attention to the fact
that registration days in many States
are drawing near, and urged that all
who Intend voting register Immedl?
ately.

TO APOLOGIZE

regardle?? of pending Injunction??*
proceedlngs.
The Emerald case Is the first in
which the British government has
taken serious Issue with this Govern
ment over prohibition enforcement.
The embarrassment to the State De- *
partment Is obvious because it was
this Government's own stipulation '?
that no seizures would be made out- ?
side the three-mile limit, unless .
smugglers set up their own com
munication with shore. The British
protest Is found to be accurate in
Ita details, ?s there appear.? to
have been no effort by the Kmerald
to violate the agreement which this
Government made with th?.? foreign
diplomats, pending an adjudication of
the whole "mess" by the United
States Supreme Court.
Taken en ?Suspicion.
The reports submitted to I'm- ,
hibltlon Commissioner Haynes by
Director Day at New York, indicate '
that the dry cruiser Hahn merely.
seized the Emerald upon "suspicion,"*
as has been done in hundreds of
other cases. be-cause other bouts wire
nsarby. (me of these boats, accord
ing \o Haynes report, was of Ameri
can registry. Other smaller crafts .
were anchored not far away, but In ?'
vestigatlon fails to disclose that the "
Emerald directed these maneuvers.
The real purpose of the Emerald ?
with such a valuable whiskey- sup
ply was tb land the wet stores on *
the Jersey coast by an American..'
ahip caravan, according to Ameri? ..
can dry officials. Apparently there ,
Is nothing In the British protest to
disprove this assertion. But the
British stand urtnn America's own
bargain, and have won a full vindl-"*
cation?perhaps a vital argument '
ln support of her general plea t<>~
support the three-mile rule, as mi -
international principle, against- -
search or seizure.
The Emerald incident today was
considered so grave by the Treas
ury that prohibition officials were'""
again warned that there must be' '
no repetition In other seizures. '"
President Hardlng's instructions "
and the rules laid down by Secre- ?"
tary Mellon again were broadcasted ?
to customs and enforcement agents *
to assure that the rule of "reason" '
will govern, until Congress or the^
Supreme Court has changed the?"
law, to avoid further conflict? with
toi-eign powers. *
