VILLAGE SENDS THREAT TO U. S. 1 IN RAID CASE Dry Agent Must Appear or Be Taken by Force, Official Says. by United Press ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y., July 18.—Local authorities have set Friday night as the deadline for court appearance of a prohibition agent involved in dry raid disorder* here, with an ultimatum to the department of justice to produce the defendant or “he will be taken by force.” Non-appearance of Burke Bourneman at a scheduled hearing Monday night brought the sharp demand from Harold Donaldson, district attorney. Boureman was charged with reckess driving after his motor car ran down tw'o person* afte a series of dry aids here. The accident caused a street fight between agents and townspeople. Contempt Action Threatened Added to the demand for Bourneman’* appearance was the announcement from Chares Trickey, Justice of the peace, that he was considering citing the dry agent for contempt of court for delaying the hearing. Donaldson declared Bourneman had been paroled in custody of United States Marshal Larnmarth of Watertown, for appearance here at 8 Monday night. The district attorney was indignant today, vowing to bring the agent before a court. “I’ll see this thing through to the end,” Donaldson declared. “Bourneman will be taken by force if ncceswry.” Donaldson sent a telegram to the department of justice explaining the case. Tension Is Diminishing “Hearing set by justice for tonight at 7 p. m.,” it said. “Waited one hour and agent did not appear. Will your department produce this man Friday at 7 p. m. Advise.” Tension over the dry raids which the village charged “spoiled" the convention of Spanish-Amer-ican w r ar veterans appeared to be decreasing here. A crowd of nearly 1,000 packed the convention hall, where Boureman was to be arraigned. When the agent did not appear the throng filed out in an orderly manner. BRITISH ARBITRATION PLAN IRKS DE VALERA Erin Willing to Dicker, hut Dislikes Conditions. By United Preen DUBLIN, July 19—The Free State government is willing to arbitrate its dispute with Great Britain, President Eamon de Valera said today, although British insistence that any arbitration tribunal be drawn exclusively from the British commonwealth may prevent action. De Valera's statement criticised the British demand that disputed payments of land annuities to the British crown, withheld by the Free State, continue as a preliminary to negotiations. The British established retaliatory tariffs to make up the loss from the annuities, and the Irish Dail rushed through a tax on British products. The senate considers the tariff measures today, and may delay their passage. Nature of the conversations be- j tween De Valera and Prime Minis- j ter Ramsay MacDonald at London ; caused great disappointment in Ire- j land, for it was realized that an eco- j nomic war was likely to be more disastrous to Ireland than to Britain.

Gates, leader in a sweeping "receivership racket” investigation, today found himself under indictment as the latest incident growing out of the collapse of the $18,000,000 American Mortgage Company. Gates, who submitted to immediate arrest on charges of accepting a bribe in connection with a receivership matter, issued a bitter attack on the grand jury which returned his indictment.

U. has made no decision regarding support of a nominee in the presidential election, but today said that neither Republican nor Democratic prohibition planks offered a solution to the liquor problem.

T. U. indorsement of President Hoover should his acceptance speech prove favorable to their cause. DRY - LEGAL Search of Auto Without Warrant Upheld by Commissioner. Right of dry agents to search an automobile for liquor without a search warrant was upheld by Fae W. Patrick, United States commissioner, in a hearing Monday. Patrick bound Florian Smith. 27. of Jackson county, to the federal grand jury under $2,500 bond, despite protests of Thomas McNulty, defense attorney, that the search was illegal because of lack of a search warrant. “If aearch of a home without a warrant were involved. I might release Smith,” Patrick said, "but I feel that an automobile is a different matter, and that this case should go to the grand jury.”
