POLICE BO NOT INTEREST BILL Armitage Denies Participating in Squabble, “I don’t have anything to do with police affairs, and neither do I want to mix in them. I have enough to do to tend to my own business,” declared William 11. Armitage, political colonel of the Shank administration, today, discussing a rumor that he was trying to have several “higher ups” in the police department demoted and his political friends in the department slated to fill tho vacancies. “As far as trying to dictate the affairs of the fiolice department, that is something I do not do, and probably couldn't if I tried,” said Armitage. "Chief Rikhoff ' need not worry about my trying to make any changes in his department. In fact, I never bother about going around the police station. I can hardly remember when I was down there, it has been so long ago.’’

LIQUOR SELLERS MAY BE DECLARED FEDERAUffLS ! Bootlegging and Rum Running Likely to Be Classed as 'lnsurrection,' By Vnited Brest WASHINGTON, April 28—Bootlegging and rum running may shortly be j declared to constitute an "lnsurreci tion" against the United States Government and bootleggers and smug piers be classed as rebels against Federal authority. Such a step would permit the President to throw into action against vio lators of the prohibition law the entire military strength of this government. It would In effect constitute a declaration of martial luw against such violators. Use of naval vessels in the Government's war on rum smuggling probably will be held legal by the Department of Justice. Such aij opinion from the department ould release tho Navy for a fin- ; lsh campaign intended to sweep rum runners from the coastal waters of the I United States and cut off one of the i chief sources of supply for bootleg- , gera. If the ruling is favorable Mr. Hard- ! ing probably will declare an emerI gency exists which calls for emerI gency measures, and then as comI mander in-ohief of the Navy, will orj der that arm of the Government into I action against tho rum smugglers. The Navy was preparing to throw out a "mosquito" fleet of 200 vessels, if necessary, to put a barrier of blue jackets and rapid fire gure between the Atlantic coast and the rum smugglers.

WATSON REFRAINS FROM EXPRESSION BN COURT ISSUE Indiana Senator Denounces League and Says G, 0, P, Split Will Be Bridged, By Vnited Press WASHINGTON, April 28.—A threatened split of the Republican party over President Harding’s world court Issue ostensibly has been averted today. President Harding, so far as appearances went, lias either silenced or won over all the "regular” Republicans who had manifested either ■ uneasiness or hostility. The irreeon- ! cllables like Borah and I.aFollette alono are standing out against him. This situation was brought about when the “uneasy” group declined the President's challenge to risk a party split now by contesting the court issue. That challenge, which he flung at them in his New York speech Tuesday was definitely declined last night by Senator Watson, spokesman for the group, in a speech in Pittsburgh. Watson said in effect that there would be no party spilt, no discord, : nothing but harmony within the party | ranks. At the same time. Secretary of i State Hughes, addressing th" Society of International Law virtually repeated tho President's New York speech by saving thnt membership in the court was not a stop toward membership in the league; that there would be no entanglement; and that this Government was set against Joining the league. Watson denounced the league of Nations and involvement in European affairs, but he was silent <os to the merits of the court proposal. He ÜB-rced with the President’s recent declaration that domestic questions call for first consideration. ''While some seeming differences have developed in the Republican party over the world court, yet Ibo Ilflvo that finally they will be smoothed out without producing discord in our ranks,” Watson said in his reference to the court. "For what else may be said or done, we all are determined not to enter the League of Nations or to permit ourselves to become involved in tile end less turmoil that for the thousands of years has cursed the continent of Europe. “We are resolved at all hazards to maintain our independence and keep a firm hold on our sovereignty and. while fondly hoping that the League of Nations may bring peace to shattered Europe and prosperity to her struggling millions, and whiie gladly aiding to bring about that desired end to the fullest extent consistent with our traditional policy, yet wo steadfastly shall decline to bo drawn into their political involvement or entanglement in their financial catostrcphles.”

The court gave defendants who expect to appeal 120 days in which to file hills of exceptions. Before sentences were pronounced Homer Elliott, district attorney, divided the defendants into four classes. The lirst consisted of those who sold booze only, the second of those whom evidence showed operated resorts at which the law was violated. The third class included police officers, constables, and Ralph Stagnaioh. hotel proprietor, who figured as a leading character in the case. The fourth class consisted of public officials. Dunn, Hunter, Kinder and Johnson were called before the bar first. Dunn told the court he resigned

The pica transmitted from De Valera does not mention a “surrender of arms" which the government has Insisted must be tho first basis of peace. It only orders a suspension of hostilities on Monday under conditions which De Valera pronounces essential for peace. Minister of Home Affairs Kevin ! O’Higgins is known to favor a de | mand for complete surrender of tho j irregular forces. Some politicians look upon the move j as the last hope of a leader who rej alizes ho is now alone. The irregular cause has practically collapsed. De ! Valera Is now the only outstanding I rebel leader free. The De Valera plan suggests as a I basis of peace the sovereign rights of ! the nation be declared alienable. All illegitimate authority be derived l from the people. The ballot box be considered the ul- | tiinate court of jurisdiction. The proclamation was accompanied by an order to all commands of tho I "Irish Republican army” suspending j the fighting at noon today. from the bench following his conj viction because he believed it to be his duty. He said lie expects to re- | sign from the bar because he does i not believe a man convicted of crime ' should be a member of the bar. "I have always done my duty.” | Mayor Johnson said. He had nothing more to say. Prosecutor Kinder broke down. Hunter went to him, patted him on the shoulder, and told him to stop crying. After the principals made their statements minor defendants were given an opportunity to talk before i sentences were pronounced. Dunn Will Not Appeal j Dunn announced he. will not appeal ! his case. "An appeal,” he said, “would simply mean six months to a year more I of suspense.” Johnson. Hunter, Potts, and Lucas indicated they will appeal. Kinder : and Barnes were undecided. A hard fight was made for new trials throughout tho Friday session |of court. Insufficiency of evidence : introduced by tho Government during tho cases, the statute of limitations and newly discovered evidence were principal points urged by do fenso attorneys in their arguments. Homer Elliott, United States district attorney, opposed the motion in a brief argument today. Originally there were seventy five defendants. Five entered pleas of guilty, seven have not been arrested, j the case against one was dismissed, seven wero acquitted and a verdict of guilty was returned against fifty-five. The cases grew out of months of investigation in Lake County by the , Federal prohibition department. The dry agents went to Gary after Agnes 6-zabo, South Bend girl known as ; "queen of the bootleggers,” told in her own case in Federal Court of dealings with officials in rum running activities . between South Bend and Chicago. It is believed generally that a ma- { Jorlty of defendants, who are city and < ounty officials, will carry their cases | to the United States Circuit Court of ; Appeals at Chicago. At the afternoon session of court Judge Geiger fixed : appeal bonds. Widespread Violations Evidence of widespread, flagrant, j liquor law violations in Gary was in--1 troduced by the Government during the trial. According to Government witnesses liquor law violators could avoid Jail sente-net's and continue In business by the payment of small fines and large attorney fees to certain lawyers. Star witnesses for the Government I were Dan Melloy, formerly constable in a justice of tho peace court and Philip Ukman, Serbian lawyer. Melloy told of selling confiscated bonded whisky and splitting the proceeds with officials. Ukman related a lurid tale of being beaten up by police and county officials because ho refused to sign an affidavit implicating Federal prohibition officers in a plan to blackmail bootleggers.
