SUPPOR OR ALIEN ENEMY eSved Department of Labor Would Ad : mit Pre-War Declarants Who Claimed Exemption From Draft, .Despite Most; Court Rulings. Washington, . June 14. -r- WASH INGTON BUREAU Of THE JOUR NAL) Although opinions of the United States district ! courts, with One .exception," are tok the' effect, hat aliea enemies who were cltiaenship declarants before the World war and took advantage of their, alien status to claim exemption from the draft should not be admitted to citizen ship, the department of labor has issued art instruction that no objection-shall be offered to granting full citizenship In such cases. ' At the department today it Is explained that, in taking this step, officials are following the most recent decision ;by Judge 'Tuttle, in the eastern district of Michigan, as this decision accords with the department's own views concerning the law. i FIXED BY LAW I , With reference to neutral alien declar ants who were . permanently denied citi senship.

Caljan, Portland agent of the Wil liams Steamship company, this morning. t " It is our opinion that this has hurt business' by , merchants) and manufac turers, being, led to s believe that, these reductions would be made in the very near future, i and as a result some merchants, - and - mm therefore, been holding off placing or- iwus wnicn iney really need to replenish their stock.

Both she and her daughter by a former ma r- i rlage, Marian McArdle, now are under I Indictment on a first dejrree murder j charge in connection with the killing of Daniel F. Kaber, wealthy Lake wood publisher. Dan Kaber's silverware now rests in the county prosecutor's safe. f The place where It had rested since July, two years ago, when Its owner was murdered, was revealed last night by Mrs. Ermlnia (Emma) Colavlto, indicted earlier in the day as the fourth woman charged with the murder of the wealthy publisher. Detective Phil Mooney went to the spot, the home of Mrs. Mary Mathews, a fortune teller, and found the silver there. " Preceding the. recovery of the silver, Mrs. Mathews, her daughter, Mrs. Marie Schwartz, and two other women, as well as Mrs. Colavlto, were questioned at lenjrth by the prosecutor In his private office. The discovery of the silver will be fol lowed by revealing of the hiding placs of Kaber's Masonic diamond ring and watch, missing since the night of the murder. "Mrs. Colavlto told us what she did with them and we know where Uiey are," said Detective Mooney. - According to the story revealed by the three women questioned last night, the diamond ring, watch and silverware were given to the actual murdereja. of Dan Kaber as part payment for the killing. "I can't pay you in cash 'now." Mrs. Kaber is quoted as saying, "but the sil verware is worth $500 and the watch and ring are worth $300 more. Take them on account" . ' Yesterday's' developments, which opened with the confession and Indict ment of Mrs. Colavlto. a a co-principal In the mysterious murder, ended v.r :,. the prosecutor's office inclined to the be lief that the women alone were con cerned in the plot, and that one of the -a. women actually - stabbed Dan Kaber as he lay on his invalid bed. While not wholly discarding the earlier theory " that men might have done the stabbing, officers, in view of statements made by witnesses examined, were In clined to believe that the "man with ft cap" may have been a woman atUrr in man's clothing to make her raor raents easier and less restrained.
