Statesville. June 28.—An ancient piano, possibly the oldest in America, was incidentally discovered in States ville- yesterday. The discovery was made in the basement of a negro’s house by a local relic hunter who was looking for an antiquated specimen of a familiar prand of pianos. The instrument in question was iden tified by Charles W. Hyams as being the piano which his great-grandfather, Solonmu Hyams. brought to this coun try from Prussia in the year 1744. The signature of the maker. George Heulde, and his seal were pasted on the inside of the piano, thus making identification of this valued relic a certainty. Air. Hyams stated that until yester day he had not heard of the piano in 40 years. He said that 45 years ago his father employed Prof. Gruber, the first piano tuner who ever came to Statesville, to put the instrument in good order; and that about 40 years ago his father sold if and replaced it with a piano of the latest model of that day. Prof. Gruber made Hie statement when he did the work nearly half a century ago that the instrument was in all prob ability at that time the oldest in Amer ira, and his wide knowledge of musical instruments would give weight to his opinion. This instrument, which was brought to America from Prussia 170 years ago—and no one knows how o'd it was when it made its first voyage across the stormy Atlantic —as made of solid ma hogany and is now in a fair state of preservation. The wires are rusted and broken, but the keys are there, though in all probability its ‘‘voice is forever still.” Its exterior shows a large num ber of brass ornaments and nude figures. The instrument will be purchased and 'preserved as a relic. I PREDICT SECOND WEEK OF TORRID TEMPERATURE Length of Heat Wave Has Been Almost Unprecedented in North and West.. Chicago.

THE PRESIDENT AT DENVER Federal Government Determined to En force the Prohibition Law. June 25.—President Harding served notice in an address here today that the federal government was determined to enforce the prohibition law even should the burden of enforcement- continue to be increasingly thrown upon it by the states. Moreover, the executive voiced the con viction not only that the prohibition amendment, will not be repealed, but that whatever changes may be made in the Volstead act “will represent the sin cere purpose of effective enforcement, rather than moderation of the general policy.” Striking straight out at those who vio late the law, the President said the is sue is fast} coining to be recognized not as one between the “wets” and “drys,” but as one of whether the laws of “this country van be and will be enforced.” “So far as the federal government is concerned.*’ he said, “and I am very sure also, so far as concerns the very great majority of the state governments and the local governments, it will be en forced. A gratifying, indeed it may fairly be said, an amazing progress has been made in the last few years toward better enforcement.” While Mr. Harding made no direct reference to the situation in New York state, he did" say that “the spectacle” oU ft state nullifying its own authority, and asking the national sovereignty to take over an important part of its pow ers, is new.” ,He added that “when the implications of this strange proposal are fully understood by people and par ties devoted to preserving the rights of the state, the new nulfifieationists, I venture to say, will discover that they have perpetrated what is likely to prove one of the historic blunders in political management.” President Saddened.

EIGHT VESSELS WITH LIQUOR NOW WAITING ..J- ..., OR RAIDS \ In Addition to Six Foreign Ships Which Arrived Over Week End, Two Others Reached New York Today. WILL TAKE TIME TO RAID SHIPS Stanly Baldwin Tells House of Commons that U. S. Has Right to Break Seals on the Wet Goods. New York, June 25 (By the Asso. i nted Press). —Two more “wet” liners steamed into port today while United States government officials were prepar ing to move on six other vessels which had been docked over the week-end. with liquor transported over the three mile line in defiance of (he Treasury dry rul ing. The latest arrivals were the An chor line Tuseania, and the French iine Suffren. The schedule today called for the re moval of liquor from the Ounarder, Ber engaria, which arrived Friday ami whose seals were smashed late Saturday after noon. Then, dry agents planned to take up the ease of the other week-enders: Paris. Cedric, Caronia, Providence and Conte Verdi'. The Tuseania arriving from Glasgow, brought a relatively small store. Seven dozen bottles of Scotch was the largest individual item. Eighty-nine bottles of assorted drinks, made up the rest of the ••ache bearing British government seals. The Suffren was more heavily laden. She brought from Havre in addition to a small stock marked “medicinal sunplies. ’ 1151 bottles of wine, 821 bottlesV>f cham pagne, 55 bottles of gin. 18 bottles of rum. and 9 bottles of whiskey.

London, June 25 (By the Associated Press’). —Stanley Baldwin, the prime minister, stated in the House of Com mons today that there was no ground for protest if British customs seals were broken within the United States’ terri torial waters by officials of the TJ. S. customs service. His statement was in answer to a question whether Great Britain recog nized America’s right to break the seals on liquorsaboard ships. Mr. Baldwin said it was the practice for the British customs authorities to fix their seals as a matter of routine on ship stores taken from England in bond to prevent consumption of the stores in ter ritorial waters. The seals must not be broken in British territorial waters, oth erwise they are in no way inviolable. Foreign customs seals, lie added, were habitually broken when the necessity . arose in British territorial waiters. Conforms With American View. Washington. June 25. —The statement by Premier Baldwin to the British House of Commons that the breaking of the British customs seals on British liners arriving in New York .with stores of liquor especially sealed. afforded no ground for protest to the United States government, conforms to the view taken by American officials from the outset. It has been emphasized in Washington that the seals had no value so far as Ameri can territorial waters were concerned and that their breaking by customs offi cers would not result in any international incident. In whatever steps the British govern ment might see fit to take with respect to the action of the New York customs officials it has been pointed out here that the question involved would lx* the seizure of the liquor, and not the break ing of British seals and there has been no indication of a% intention ou the part of the British, nor as yet ou the part of any other power, to protest against the seizures. “Peeping Tom” At Salisbury Tried By Chief of Police.
