today, within a foot of the water's

was at the height of the Sunday iworn

gathered at the. spot. Beach; guards
hastened to the: spot and extinguished
the iblaze. .;
Beach Surgeon Bossert . expressed
,the belief that the fire was caused by
the- same substance which set a boy's
clothing ablaze on the beach a month
ago.. He was Inclined to the belief that
oil waste had" drifted in from the
ocean, caked against the Jetty and be
came Ignited by the. sun's rays. Others
are inclined to lay the fire 'o some
sort of phosphorous substance.

Prohibition Officials Cautioned to Ob

tion with the three-mile limit at sea
except In . enses where ships beyond
officials, it was said authoritatively,
Iwlll be cautioned to observe this de-
eisipn.
The subject of seai-ches for contra-
Imnd liquors beyond the three-mile lim
it formed the chief topic liefore the
cabinet. Examination of the municipal
law authorizing the customs or other
operations up to the 12-mile limit were
found by the President's advisers to
lie out of harmony with international
law, and It was held that attempts to
carry out the municipal law provis
ions might involve the government In
embarrassment with other countries.

WASHINGTON APPROVES
PROPOSAL OF THE ALLIES
To Insure the Freedom of the Darda-!
nelles and the Bosphorus.
WaHhington,-Sept. 20 (By the Asso
ciated Press). The unequivocal ap
proval by the Washington government
of the allied proiMisals to insure the
freedom of the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus, and also to protect racial
and religions minorities in Turkish
territories involved in the present Near
Eastern situation was expressed by
Secretary Hughes formally today in
reply to nn Inquiry addressed to him
by the Associated Press.
i The question submitted sought to
nscertnin "the nttitade of the govern
ment of the United' States toward the
proposals made by the allies to the
Turkish nationalist authorities." Mr.
Hughes declined to comment on the
territorial question raised, but made
clear the attitude of the administra
tion on the other points involved.
"The American government is grati
fied," said Mr, Hughes, "to observe
that the proposal -of the threa allied
governments seek to insure effectively
'the liberty pf the Dardanelles, the
S$a of Marmora, and the Bosphorus,
a.i well ass protection of -racial and rc
llgious minorities'. The poiu'.s of the
proposal are clearly in ac'ord with
American sentiment
"This government also trims that
suitable arrangements may be agreed
upon in the interests of peace to pre
serve, the freedom of the Straits pend
ing the conference to conclude a final
treaty of peace between Turkey, Greece.
and the allies."
