DRYAUTHORITY RESTRICTED TO 3 iKlllEJIKlIT Cabinet Holds Attempts To Carry Out Municipal Law Provisions Might Involve U. S. in Embarrassments.

TO CAUTION OFFICIALS

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 26 The cabinet at its meeting today decided to restrict prohibition enforcement operations within the three mile

limit at sea, execnt In cases where

ships beyond that limit are in com

munication with shore through their

own crews and small boats.

Prohibition enforcement officials, it

was said, authoritatively would be

cautioned to observe this decision.

The subject of searches for contraband liquor beyond the three-mile

limit formed the principal topic of

discussion before the cabinet.

Elimination of municipal law authorizing customs or other operations up to the 12-mile limit were found by the. president's advisers to be out of harmony with international law, and it was held that attempts to carry out the municipal law provisions might involve the government with embarrassments with other countries.

PEOPLE OF AMERICA DISPOSED TO REQUIRE EUROPE TO PAY DEBTS

(By Associated Press) LONON, Sept. 26. The disposition of the people of the United States is to require payment of the inter-allied debts owing to America, Representative Theodore E. Burton declared in

an address today at a luncheon given by the American Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Burton who emphasized .that he was speaking as an individual and not

With the publication today of a

complete itemized account of all re

ceipts and expenditures of the Wayne county fair, an intensive campaign will be started by the fair committee to cover the deficit of 13.163 shown by the report. This will clear away the old fair and leave the way open for a permanent annual fair organization, enthusiastically requested not only by farmers and other citizens of Wayne county outside of Richmond, but also

by people living in Randolph and Un

ion counties, where no fairs exist. Not only did all who attended the

fair express hopes for a permanent

organization, but from their enthusiastic reports, their neighbors also

have been converted. Richmond vis

itors to farms and towns within a wide radius of the city never fail to hear congratulations on this year's fair and

advance notices of those communities'

plans for greater participation in the

next fair. Justified Expense

It is the view of the commitee, as a result of the popular approval of the

fair, and the large attendance, equal

to the state fair, that its magnitude easily justified the expense and that supporters will he willing to meet the

deficit. The committee will be in ses sion for a two days' intensive cam

paign, to be conducted from a special

headquarters equipped with three tel ephones. -

Firms which were not given an op

portunity to subscribe earlier, and

those which have since expressed a de

sire to increase their subscriptions so

as to assume a fair share of the total, will be called upon. Telephones will

be used to save time. The names of

additional subscribers will be publish

ed from day to day until the deficit is

met.

. No action toward a permanent fair

organization will be taken until the ac

counts of the old one have been

cleared. , Fair Outgrew Expectations,

Items of expense heavier than had been expected were largely due to the

much larger extent of the fair than the committee had calculated upon. Premium awards were unusually

heavy, on account of the numerous entries, filling practically every class, and the additional classes which were provided later. Because of the numerous stock entries, also, greatly enlarged facilities had to be provided, as

tributed toward arrival at this conclusion. First was the feeling that international credit and especially debts between nations "have a certain- degree of sanction I might say of sacredness." j Second ' Consideration "! The second consideration was that the amounts loaned to the foreign countries by the United States werj provided by loans obtained from the people and with no small degree of " difficulty. The advances were not from an overflowing revenue but were made possible by the action of the United States in becoming a borrower alike with these debtors and at the same time. The burden of taxation in America, he declared, was quite as heavy if not

heavier than that in the European countries whose obligations were held by the United States. Chance of Misuse In case of concellation of these debts, he asked, what assurance is there that the resources which otherwise would be applied upon thefc debt payments might not be utilized for th3 expansion of military and naval es-

Not only were the decisions accepted without dispute, but they were generally acknowledged to be correct and a much greater proportion of the exhibitors .themselves was satisfied than is usual in county fairs.

The report of the committee on reduction of armaments which was brought before the league of Nations assembly today by Ixrd Robert Cecil for final action, recommends that the European powers, except Spain, Belgium and the newly formed states, reduce the total of their expenditures for military, nav

Premier Triantafillakos is planning to strengthen his cabinet still further, according to the newspapers, by proposing the creation of a national ministry representing all parties and including Eliptherios Venizelos, who were served as a special envoy in the entente capitals. This move is described as the cabinet's answer to the project of bringing General Metaxas into power and is hailed not only as clever political initiative, but also as a step calculated to assure a united Greece at this moment of complete international isolation.

"RED" AND WHITE WAR IN SOVIET EXPECTED

(By United Press) TOKIO, Sept. 26. Japanese evacuation of Siberia, followed by probable warfare between "red" and "white"

forces, was expected today, following

the breaking up of the Chang Chun conference between Soviet Russia and Japan. The conference broke up yesterday when the representatives of the two nations could not agre on terms for Japanese evacuation of Saghalien.

(By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16. The fire which broke out in Constantinople shortly after 10 o'clock last night, caus

ing intense excitement and fear that

an attempt was being made to burn j the capital was controlled after a fight ' of two hours. The blaze originated j from an unknown cause in the Prin-

tania Music hall in Upper Para street, one of the main thoroughfares.

The audience was stampeded and terror stricken. A general alarm brought to the scene all the available salvage corps and the allied police and American sailors helped rescue excited spectators and occupants of nearby buildings. A hose run from the British embassy a half mile away helped to check the fire. So far as could be ascertained there was no loss of life. Small fires which started simultaneously in other parts of the city accentuated the fears in many quarters that they , were of incendiary origin. POLICE OF LEXINGTON CATCH TWO YOUTHFUL AUTOMOBILE BANDITS

John Brown and Deal Dickerson, 15 and 16 years old, captured in Lexington, Ky., Sunday after a sheriff's

posse had riddled the back of their

car with bullets, will be prosecuted in

that city, according to word brought back by Chief of Police William Evers-

man. The car the boys had in their

possession had been stolen by them from Henry Sherrow of this city. The

boys' homes are in Indianapolis. A trail of crime that touched several Indiana cities, extended to Detroit and back to Indianapolis, then through Richmond to Lexington, Ky., was uncovered in the confession given the Lexington police by the boys. They told of starting in Indianapolis, stealing a costly machine, driving it to Columbia, Ind., then abandoning this machine and taking another. - They drove to Detroit, then back to Indianapolis, abandoned this machine and took another to come to Richmond.

NO SESSION IS NEEDED

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26. The problem of the winter fuel supply and fair prices for it will solve itself in Indiana, Gov. McCray believes. The governor, it was indicated today, does not look with favor on the proposal of Indianapolis labor leaders for the appointment of a coal commission to prevent profiteering or the calling of a special session of the eeneral as

sembly to deal' with the fuel situation.

Although the governor had not yet received a resolution adopted by the Central Labor union of Indianapolis, calling for the appointment of a coal commission, he suggested that it was his opinion that within a. short time coal prices would suffer a slump. Prices Reduced He had been informed, the governor said, that prices of coal at the mines have been reduced within the last few days as the result of heavy shipments. The Indiana public service commission had adequate authority to deal with all phases of the fuel situation as it exists at present, the governor believes, and any crisis that may develop during the winter can be called to the attention of the general assembly, which will meet for its regular session in January.

(Special to The Palladium) ' CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Sept. 26. The question of whether the electric utility of the Cambridge City municipal plant shall be sold is almost certain to be submitted to the taxpayers at a special election. No petition for such an election has been circulate!

as yet but it is anticipated that suc"i action will be taken as it is apparent that public opinion on the question Is divided. Under the law it would be necessary for the town board to arrange for a special election in the event a petition for an election Is signed by at least 100 taxpayers. Those who are most active in their opposition to the proposed sale assert

that there would be no difficulty in obtaining the signatures of 100 citizens to a special election petition. In the event the proposed sale of the municipal electric ultility to the Interstate Electric Utilities Service corporation, which has made an offer of $30,000, is submitted to a popular vote the town officials hope to have' the election held on November 7, the data of the state election. This would save the towi considerable expense. With that end in view, the town board has authorized the required advertising of the proposed sale. N. II. Johnson, William M.

court to appraise the electric utility ot the Cambridge City municipal plant, hope to complete their work by Oct. 3 The Chicago concern wants to purchase the local electric service has made no offer for the water works plant which is operated in connection, with the electric utility. The company, in the event its offer was accepted, would furnish Cambridge City with an electric service generated at its plant in Connersville, which now serves the towns of Dublin, Milton and Pershing. It has proposed that an electric pumping machine be installed for the local water works service. Advocate Sale

Those who advocate the sale of the municipal electric service contend that

it has been a "white elephant" on the hands of the town. They say its an

SENATOR WATSON, GA., DEMOCRATIC FIREBRAND

DIES AT WASHINGTON (By United Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 Senator Tom Watson of Georgia, died suddenly early today at his home here. Acute asthma from which Watson had suffered for years cp-used his death at 2:40 a. m. , Senator Watson had a severe attack of the malady a week igo, but improved sufficiently to attend the final session of the senate last Friday. Hi3 physicians . protested at the time he was too weak but Watson said he felt all right. Last night Watson ate a hearty din

ner and apparently was in better health than he had been for some time. A little later he suffered a recurrence of the asthmatic seizure and his physicians were unable to save him. Burial in Georgia Funeral arrangements have not been

completed but the lato senator's burial will occur at his home in Thompson. Ga., where Mrs. Watson went some time ago. Mrs. Watson had returned to recuperate after a severe illness. W. A. Watson, a brother and Mrs. Julia Cliatt, a sister, both of Thom

son survive, in addition to the widow. The Georgian senator, who was one of the most picturesque figures in public life, was 66 years old. As a member of the house, as an editor, as populist candidate for vice-president and as senator, he attracted widespread attention, because of his fiery speech and writing and his aggressive championing of the causes in which he was interested. Political Career Watson was elected to the house of representatives in 1891 on the poputicket. In 1896 the populist conven

tion at St. Louis nominated him for

vice-president, when the populists endorsed that year. The "People's Par

ty" nominated him for president four

years later.

As editor of the Columbia Sentinel,

Watson made both friends and ene
