HIGHLANDS, N. J., Nov., 20. I
' (By the Associated Press). -
Seven speed runners landed car-
goes of bottled holiday cheer at
towns along the New Jersey coast j
Ftonieht but two others wralever
'chased by coast guards and were
forced to jettison part of their
load.
One of the rum fleet had a large
number of cases visible. They
were stacked on her deck,, ready
for prompt delivery to smaller
7 craft.
A vessel, identified ashore as
the dispatch boat of a New York
rum syndicate, lay alongside the
largest steamer.
Clear Field Expected
Ashore Jt was believed that no
coastguard cutters, were in the
vicinity, and that the smugglers
would have a clear field

cheer. Reports received about ten I
; days ago were to the effect that!
J a heavy t runt fleet was on Its way I
i from the Bahamas with a $500,-
j 000 cargo. From points where
'I the rum fleet could be seen there
. were indications of the shore boat
w captains dickering with the skip-
pers of the i larger vessels. The
smaller' craft darted first to one
r ship and then another, : the ma-
jority of "them finally returning
to a white sailing Teasel that ap-J
parently was offering wet goods
for the lowest price. I
Advice Received I
The fleet was composed of two I
steamers, one of - which arrived
about a week ago. and three sail
boats.
The police department's marine
division was advised about 15
days ago that three British steam
ships had sailed recently, from
Nassau with 30,000 cases of whis
ky and an unknown destination.
Marine ponce speedboat corn-
manders here have Instructions to
ascertain whether vessels, anchor I
within the three mile limit and if
or to seize any smaller craft that
may attempt to establish connec
tions with bootleggers ashore.
; The latest assault Of bottle
fishermen, coming on the heels of
an announcement from Washing
ton that the treasury department
had asked the budget director for
110.000,000 for. the prohibition
bureau in 1924. was looked anon
by local dry chiefs as confirming
evidence max larger appropna
tions, more speedboat equipment
and a reinforced personnel would
be necessary to stem the tide of
tmuggled liquor.

The two men, who were taken
here this ' morning by Detective
Harry. Emmons, of. the Southern

the ! men wanted. They had reg-
istered at the hotel as G. Mutton

left their home in Canada several

Jment, going as far south as Los

Officers said a close study of
their faces ' and build compared
with photographs and descriptions
furnished showed ' only such dis

were taken and the hardships eii
dured since that time.

Eye Witness Tells What She
Saw in Store at Time
. .of Killing
YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 20.
Mrs. A. C. Burden of Covin, Idaho
alleged eye witness to the kill-
ng of W. J. Hihyer, marshal of
Zillah, in a Zillah drug store July
ssu, for which J. F. Pearce, ranch
er, is on trial bere, told her story
on the witness stand today and
did not deviate under severe, cross
examination. The witness told of
being spattered with blood and
Bhot when' Pearce entered, said a
few words and fired.
Under examination she admit
ted that she did not see Hillyer
when the shot struck but said he
could not have moved from the
position in which she last saw
YDo yon thing that the shot
was fired while Hillyer's back was
toward Mr. Pearce?" counsel for
the defense asked. .
"Yes, sir," she answered loudly!
Witnesses called during the day
told of seeing Pearce walk up the
street, gun in hand, glancing into
stores and then enter." the drug
store, a few seconds later the shot
rang out, all agreed, and Pearce
came back out saying "come on
girls" to his wife and daughters
and got into his car. Two wit
nesses refuted testimony previous
ly given to the effect that Mrs
Pearce asked her husband if he
had killed Hillyer, as he emerged
from the store.
The crowded court room was
hushed when Ruby Pearce, 17
year old daughter of the defen
dant was called to the stand. Pre
vious to the shooting Ruby was
the sweetheart of William Hillyer,
son of the slain man. It is expect
ed that sue, will be an important
witness in defense of her father.
Her testimony today did not con
cern the romance which is alleged
to be the, indirect cattse of4 the
family feud. The only questions
directed to her were for the pur
pose of identifying the gun which
she turned over to the prosecutor
on' the day of the shooting.
The state expects to conclude
its case tomorrow and the defense
counsel said tonight that they will
require about four days to hear
all witnesses now summoned.
Special Election May
Be Called at Silverton
SILVERTON, Or Nov. 20.
(Special to The Statesman)
The city council is discussing plans
for a special city election at which
time several city matters will be,
brought up. Among these is the
question of sewfr assessment.
The present mode is assessing by
square foot. J. E. Hosmer has
brought a petition before the city
council to call an election to
amend the city chaster with the
object of changing the present
mode of assessment so that prop
erty will be assessed according to
valuation instead of square foot.
Other things to be brought up at
this election would be the building
of a city rest room and the levying
of half a mill for fire and one mill
for light.

Character of Accord Not

CROWN PRINCE WILL

Berlin Will Be Asked to Con-
urm assurances in
Formal Manner
PARIS, Nov. 20 (By The As
sociated Press.) it was accepted
ns certain In Paris' tonight that
the entente will survive the pres
ent crisis but there is very little
enthusiasm .for the compromise
through which t the break was
averted. '
The provisional character of the
accord, so : far as the details of
this have transpired, is one of the
reasons for the coolness toward
it. The fact that the British gov
ernment was not ready to signify
its acceptance after, consideration
of more than 24 hours, necessitat
ing the postponement of final ac
tion by the allied council of am
bassadors, Is Interpreted as evi
dence that the accord is only mod
erately pleasing to London.
The conclusion, is that both
sides are 'only partly persuaded
and neither converted, and that
the conflict is sure -to break iout
again when electioneering consid
erations have been eliminated
from the situation. The only def
inite', result that appears clearly
from the negotiations is that for
mer Crown Prince Frederick Wil
liam's return to Germany will be
allowed to drop 'out ot the dis
cussion. -
Visit Kept Secret
The French government is said
to have ', been trying for several
day8 to keep secret the fact that
when the German eharge d'af
faires called on Count Peritti, the
French director of political af
fairs the other day, he brought re
affirmation of the Crown Prince's
renunciation of the throne of
Prussia in 1918. He also gave
assurance that the German gov?
ernment would under no circum
stances tolerate the return of for
mer Emperor William to Ger
many.
These assurances were consid
ered in the ambassador's council
as practically disposing of the Ho
henzollern question and it was the
general ' oninion that there was
nothing more to be done in the
matter than to ask the Berlin gov
ernment to confirm the assurance
formally.

Frank Rockwell Recovers
Full Year's Salary From
Bend School Board
"We know of no provision of
the statute authorizing school dis
tricts to expend public moneys for
the instruction of coaching high
school football teams, nor making
the qualifications of a teacher in
the public schools depend upon
his ability as a coach of a football
team."
So observes the Oregon supreme
court in an opinion written by
Justice Rand, holding that Frank
L Rockwell shall recover from the
Bend, Or., district school board his
salary for nine months, although
he was discharged from a position
as teacher add athletic director
after one month of service.
The board alleged that among
the duties contracted for by Rock
well was that of coaching the
football team, and that he proved
unqualified to . do this. He .was,
therefore, after one month, paid
the month's salary and dismissed.
Rockwell sued for the remaining
nine ; months salary at ?1S0 a
month, and this he recovers min
us $552.25 that he earned at other
employment during the period.
