Drys Seek Liquor Pacts
and Want Carriers of
Rum Listed as Pirates
Washington.—Negotiation of "liquor
treaties” with Great Britain and Cuba,
as aids in putting an end to rum smug
gling into this country, was said Sun
day night by high internal revenue of
ficials to have been advocated by Pro
hibition Commissioner Haynes. Trea
ties were desired, it was explained, to
handle the Canadian border situation
and to better control exports of liquor
from Cuba, the Bahamas, Bermuda and
to this country.
1’rohibition officials also have under
discussion a proposal for declaring
rum-running vessels pirates through
negotiation with foreign nations, look
ing to cancellation of registry of such
ships. Many of the larger liquor ships
carrying illicit cargoes of alcohol, it
was -.aid, anchor just outside the limit
of customs jurisdiction and send the
cargo ashore in small boats.
The war upon these craft is being
waged successfully, officials asserted,
but the cargo vessels are beyond the
reach of tbe law. If they sailed with
out proper registry papers they would
be branded as pirates, outside the law
and the lawful prize of every Davy in
the world.
At the State Department it was said
no proposals for negotiations of this
sort are under consideration. Inter
national discussion of American prohi
bition would involve many difficult
diplomatic questions, it was declared.
Under Death Sentence
18 Years, Gets Pardon
McAlester, Okla.—Kid Kelly, negro,
under death sentence for IS years, who
has been held in prison here since the
territorial days of Oklahoma without
even commitment papers, walked out
of the state penitentiary Saturday a
free man.
Kelly owes his release to President
Harding, who signed a pardon received
at the penitentiary Saturday and sent
to an Oklahoma newspaper man who
discovered the negro’s plight a year
ago. According to prison officials,
technically there has never been anv
authority for holding Kelly behind the
walls of a prison.
The prisoner’s status resulted from
differences between federal and state
courts over jurisdiction in the case.
Kelly was first tried in a federal court
when Oklahoma was a territory. Then

came statehood, and, on subsequent ap
peals, both federal and state courts dis
claimed jurisdiction.
Kelly was convicted of killing Jim
Dillingham, another negro, in 1903.
When the ease was brought to light, a :
year ago, a movement was immediately j
instituted to free Kelly- or set the date i
of execution for sentence. The matter j
was brought to the attention of Presi-!
dent Harding, and the executive ear
don settled the question.
Beer and Wine Fight
Starting in Illinois
Chicago.—A vote in Illinois upon a
beer acid light wine proposal as a modi
fication of the existing Volstead act
will be had in November, if sufficient
names are obtained to place the ques
tion on the ballot, it was made known
Saturday.
The petitions have been placed in
circulation under direction of the Illi
nois division of the National Associa
tion Opposed to Prohibition. The pro- J
pjsal follows:
“Shall the existing state arid federal
prohibitory laws be modified so as to i
permit the manufacture, sale and
transportation of beer (containing less
than 4 per cent by volume of alcohol)
and light wines for home consump i
tion?M
Fat, Heavy Foot Hits John
While He Picks Up ‘Hutt’
Chicago.—John McCulloch, 42 years !
old, has a penchant for "short Ha- j
vanas” which ho retrieves from the I
sidewalk.
Tuesday John sighted a line looking
specimen of his favorite brand and
pounced upon it.
At the same time a fat man, whose
steps were so measured that one foot
was destined to fall upon the recum
bent “smoke,” came along.
John’s right thumb was a fraction of
a seclfnd ahead of the fobt in reaching’
the cigar, but John was a trifle slow oo
the recovery.
Someone called the detective bureau
tlyer, which took John with his injured
digit to Receiving hospital, where sur
geons discovered a compound fracture.
“So you don’t like vour new hat as
well as you did when you tried it on in
the store? This isn’t the tirst time
you’ve done such a thing.”
“I know it isn’t, dear. I don’t like
you as well as I did when .1 married
you,”—Judge.
