A COURT FIGHT FORESEEN Chairman Lasker . Considers Ruling a Blow to American Merchant Marine. , WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Masters of shipping board vessels were ordered today by Cliairman Lasker, by direc tion of the Presidest and iu accordance with Attorney General Daugherty 's liquor opinion, to remove aud surrender to treasury department officials all in toxicating liquors aboard such ships. The order, which applies to govern ment ships operated by the board and under charter to private concerns, be came effective Immediately with ' re spect to vessels iu American ports and will be made effective on those at sea and iu foreigu ports upon, their arrival at American ports. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 The execu tive branch of the government was pro ceeding to the immediate enforcement today of the interpretation of the prohi bition amendment and the enforcement act by tlie legal branch as prohibiting the transportation or sale of liquor on American vessels, wherever " operated, and the presence of liquor on foreigu ships anywhere within American territo-' rial waters. Acting on orders issued by President Harding immediately after publication yesterday of the opinion hauded down by the. Depart ment of J ustice, ' Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping; Board, was mov ing to stop at once the sale or transpor tation of liquqor on government ships, n-hiln KecretArv Mellon mid rirneeedinnr to give due notice to private owners, the prohibition as to both to take effect at once, or us soon as vessels reach home ports. The treasury secretary also was charged with the formulation of regula tions for the enforcement us to foreigu ships, to begin us soon as sucli regula tions can be promulgated. The next development "awaited in the situation, as foreseen by both Attorney General Daugherty and Cliairman Las ker, was !a move by foreign lines to se cure a final determination ia the courts of the application of American dry law's to foreign ships entering American terri torial waters. In the opinion these were construed to include waters not only within the three mile limit of continental Unietd States, but also of1 the Philip pines, the Hawaiian islands, rono ruco, ment statute itself, With the government already advised that a case is about to be filed which would bring the issue as to foreign ships to the Supreme Court, Chairman Lasker was of the opinion that the foreign lines would first seek to restrain enforcement of the law by an injunction, which, he said, it was reasonable to suppose the courts would grant. Mr. Lasker foresaw not only a stay of enforcement as to foreign ships by tnis course, but also expressed the opin ion that regardless of the decision of the Supreme Court American ships would be . , , m,rmanellt disadvantatre. cit - .: i,..i.i :t would not i.revent the selling liquor up totbe three mile limit, where remaining stocks could be dumped overboard. The shipping board chair man further expressed the opinion that the enforcement would undoubtedly ham per the board's efforts to build up 'American shiiminir to the Orient and South America. The disadvantages which he believed would result to the American merchant marine-would make more necessary, he said, enactment of the shin subsidy bill if the American flag as to stay on the high seas. The opinion handed down by the attor ney . general, in response to a request from Secretary Mellon last June, was based as. to the interpretation regarding i forciirn shins u'ou recent 'decisions of the Supreme Court upholding tlie author ,i(y of fe(jeraj prwi,ibition agents to pre-! ; v;nt ,he transfer of a liquor cargo from J om fon.xu to another in au Ameri- j ean port -rlrre Was' a sujiaestioii today that (Canlinubd oa page 8.) J. R. HARRISON DEFIES KU KLUX KLAN AND IS VERY WARMLY PRAISED Fayettevilie Alderman Again In Ku Klux Lime light. HE PUBLISHES HIS DEFI. Suggests to Ku Klux That They Take "Me Out and Give Me a Whipping." FAYETTilVlLLE, Oct. 0'.- J. It. Harrison, Fayettevilie uldermau, who is a tobacco salesman by vocation and baiter of the Ku Klux Klau by choice, has once more defied the lightning and is very well this morning. Harrison, who beat up the organizer of the local klau a few mouths ago, published au open letter to the klansmeu yesterday afternoon, in which he urged, even beg ged tbeiu to como and take him out lust night. He spent tlie early hours of the night uround the hotels aud cigar stores on Hay street, where he was seen and spoken to by hundreds of persons, but was not molested. It is said that it took Mr. Harrison more than an hour to get up town on account of the number of people who stopped him to congratu late hi in on writing the letter in which his opinion of the klau was expressed iu uuvurnished terms. Harrison broke into the limelight last April when he hud the encounter with E. C. Stevenson, the K. K. K. organizer, Durhiir the frav Stevenson nulled a wis- tol and Harrison bared las breast and dared him to shoot, when Stevenson dropped the gun to the ground. Harrison's letter was brought out by uu incident which occurred last Friday night when tlie Ku Klux held a big pa rade here, during which one of the robed uud masked . horsemen drew up at the home of one of the most highly esteemed ladies of this city, who was ill in a hos pital nt the time, and left a missiv for a young lady boarder, it is said that a leading member of the local klan had I.,,.,.. ..... .1 ; Vw.. i,.,., ... ...n: i i I...., .... nitir it-limit uuw . liu nun ui;'ii uii- u.i i... w. ..n ...i t.i jjiutti jiu uy wii tmouu nisi, iuii auu nast t to join the klau, aud had seriously con sidvred doing so but decided not to be cause be jlid not believe their principles were . in keeping with the American spirit, Harrison concluded his letetr thus: "Xow, we will take Hie scene that was staged on our streets last Friday night, that will go down in history as a damnable disgrace to our town. Were they murderers, thieves, robbers, or gamblers! Their faces were covered; so we have no way to tell, but we do know one thing not one drop of gentlemanly blood flows through their veins, for no gentleman would pull off such stuff us they carried on Friday night. "Here is their claim: that they arc 100 per cent American and -100 strong in Fayettevilie. "In regard to the 100 per cent Ameri can that they claim to be, during the world war 90,000 mothers' sons of North Carolina gave up their homes and loved ones and sailed across the sea and fought on foreign soil to suppress just such principles as the K. K. K. stands for, aud I today have friends and loved ones that sleep in unmarked graves in Flan ders' 'fields, from whose blood the lilies of France, have grown richer -and sweeter. Ask these fathers and mothers whose sons made the supreme sacrifice if they were one hundred per cent Ameri can, ow, you 'may have to lie a 100 per cent American to lie a K. K.

GHOST FROM THE, GRAVE OF BASEBALL THROWS A SCARE INTO THE YANKS Long John Scott, Tar Heel Pitcher, Blanks Yankees With Blast From The Sepul chre. , NEW YORK, Oct. 7. (By The Associated Press.) Their aspirations cooled by tlie frigid breath of a ghost from baseball's graveyard, Miller Hug- 'Sim Yankees Stood today in the slut dows of their own tomb. They must recover from the blight of , the phan tom,' long John Scott, whose rattling Tar Heel bones gave them a seare yes terday from the likes of which only one team in world series history lias re covered.' . - The uncart lily pitching that the spook bought from the cemetery -caused the Yanks' bats to pass through as if the balls were bits of ectoplasm, and. in a worldlly way of speaking, defeated them 3 to 0 in the third game Of the world .ecu series. -.-The ueteat was the second in (the series for the Yanks . In the series a precedent by I a ., . . 'of 1921 the Giants set winning : the title after , spotting fhe Yanks to the first two games.' Long John's pitching bones were laid to rest last July. Pat Morau, of the Cincinnati Reds, officiated at the obse quies, lie had pronounded John's pitching days; over, the dirge was droned and the baseball world soon forgot that John Scott had ever lived. Then some world being communicated with spirit laudaud Scott learned there was a death of pitchers. Ho turned over in his musty coffin, pushed out its sides and stalked the earth. He liked it, decided to stay, got a job, and showed faint signs of materializing. John Mc Graw, of the Giants, needed pitchers, and he would - have them, even if they had to be resurrected. So the gaunt figure of John Scott appeared yesterday on the mound they call the pitcher's box. Versed as be was in the tricks of the "beyond" ho put 'em where the Yankees couldn't sec them. Everywhere a Yankee waved his bat there was an emptiness. Some times Long John let them tap them, de pending ou the support aiid his depend ence was well placed. Most every living being iu the world is thinking about Scott today, but the Yankees are thinking of other- things. Miller Huggins never wants to see a ghost materialize again, and he's try ing to forget about it by making des perate plans for! today's game. He believes that Carl Mays, who hasn 't been having any grc'at success with his underhnnded delivery this year, might halt the avauce of McGraw'3 men. If Mays doesn 't bear out this belief, Huggins is prepared to make a still more desperate play aud send Bimh into the game with but two, days rest. McGraw, with the two victories chalk ed, can acord to take chances, and he has nominated Hugh McQuillan for the pitching duty. Kyan. the youngster who relieved Xehf and worked so ad-! tmrably for a short spell iu the open ing game, is to be kept ready for re Lef. bynder probably will be behind ' Continued on paue 4i.

H. Harmon, President, F. 5. Hager, Secretary. Upholding the reputation they have established in the county, tlio Sunnyside folks Friday staged one of the best com munity fairs iu the history of the organ ization. There was both quantity und quality in the exhibits. The corn dis play was probably the outstanding ex hibit of the fair. .Residents of tlwt sec tion declared thero had never been such a display of com at u fair at Sunnyside'. The exhibit of kitchen and pantry prod ucts was also especially fine. One lady, Miss Ferrio Kiser, had L!0 jars of dif ferent canned un.l preserved products. There were other notablo displays of preserved und canned goods from many women of that 'section., The ' Suuuysiile BchouHiousc, the first brick rural schoolhouso iu the couuty, was converted into uu exhibition hall. Two rooms were thrown together for the display of farm und garden products. Another room held the women's exhibits and another room held the corn. Out side the building were, the exhibits of livestock and poultry. Bot these depurt ments were good but not up to the stand ard set by the corn display and the women's exhibits. Officers of the .Sunnyside Fair are D. H. Harmon, president, and F. 8. Hager, secretary. Oilier moving spirits in the Fair are tho KLsers, the Hovis, Roysters, Fakers, Weavers, Ha mseurs, Weirs, Fur rises, MKiills, Moores, Crnigs, Mitchems, Whitesides, , Hagers, Wells, Xeills, Whites, Masons, Beams, Fords and I'hi fers.

Indications are that there will be plenty of rabbits and pet' stock to at tract the children. In fact all informa tion up to data points to a well rounded and complete exhibition of poultry and pet stock. ; AGED MINISTER ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF RECLUSE HOT SPRINGS. Ark.. Oct. 7. lie v. Harding M. Hughes, superannuated niiu ister, who has been o atrial here for four days on a charge of murder in connec tion with the slaying of Mrs. Anna Mc Keunon, aged recluse, in Montgomery county last year, probably will know the result of his second hearing on this charge tonight, according to the opinion of those who have listened to the testi mony. Arguments in the case will be completed and the case is expected to be in the hands of the jury lute today. The prosecution, relying largely on the testimony of Kaymoud Cole, young mountaineer, now serving a life sentence for the actual killing of Mrs. McKennon, was dealt u severe blow when Cole fused to testify. The transcript of his evidence in the former trial in which he declared the death of Mrs. McKemm.i was planned by Hughes, who plied him with liquor and furnished him with the gun with which the woman was shot, was admitted as "secondary" evidence ! by the court, thus establishing, according j to lawyers, a new precedent. J iu tne presence or juuge, jury ana the aged defendant. Cole was yesterday taken to a room in the courthouse, strip ped and his body examined by the jurors, to determine the truth of his for mer testimony that Mrs. McKennon twice hud shot him. No scars were found. ' ' Mr. Hughes also refused to testify iu his own behalf. In the closing .arguments the prosecu tion held that the evidence indicated hhat Mr. Hughes was anxious to secure the property of Mrs. McKennon, on which he believed he had discovered a J silver mine. the pioneers iu the community fair work in the county. The dispjny of cauned fruits, pre serves, canned vegetables aud garden products was" simply wonderful. .The average city resideut lias no idea of the variety of stuff that can bo put up in glass jars. In one woman's exhibit there Friday were noted canned fruits of every description, cherries, poaches, apples, pears, figs, blackberries, plums, straw berries, grapes, together with jellies and preserves made from all these things. Then there was grape juice and other fruit acids, apple butter, marmalades, sweet potatoes, baby turnips and beets, soup mixtures, corn, beans and tomatoes, chow chow, chili sauce, lye hominy, white as cotton, corn canned, both on the ear and shaved, okra, asparagus, peas und beans of a. dozen different varieties, pep pers, hot und sweet, cucumbers, cabbage ami tomato pickle, etc., etc In fact there was everything one could think of. The field crops department contained an excellent assortment of products from field ami garden, soy beans, peas, corn,!., cotton, butter beans, wheat, oats, clover! and rye, squash, turnips, sweet and Irish potatoes, onions, pumpkins, watermelons, etc., etc. One of the interesting sidelights of the fair was tho keen competition be tween Mr. J, A. Hager and his young son, Marvin, on an entry of hogs. The son's exhibit beat that of his father ot both the Mt. Beuluh and Sunnyside fairs and lie says he is going to beat him at the couuty fair. Mr. C. Kiser,' the dairyman, who fur nishes the Bessemer City schools with milk, ami Mr. Hager had excellent dis plays of fine milk cows. This community exhibit will le seen at the Gaston County Fnir next week. MRS.
