Her reputation was unsavory and her appearance in this harbor created excitement among the local enforcement authorities. Though the statement of Captain E.

Kohler, master of the ship, to the that he wo-uldn't be foolish to bring- liquor into a harbor and that the boat had had no liquor i aboard since he assumed command, was given credence, the authorities decided to no chances and kept a strict watch on the craft.

Rubin is said to have used several addresses in Stamford where the different discount companies directed to sefnd their mail.

It was revealed today. Writer's Affidavit. The charge, as set out' In Mrs. Dean's affidavit, follows! "Deponent further deposes that in the spring or early summer ot 1922, when, the question of General Harry L. Roger's reappointment as quartermaster general was a subject or more less general talk.

Colonel William H. Hart told, her that he had signed -the name of Mr. J. C. Schemm, Secretary Treasurer of the Sherwin Publishing company, publishers of 'Gossip' to a telegfem which he, Colonel Hart, sent tary of War Weeks, suggesting certain investigation in connection with matters in the quartermaster corps, having a bearing on General Rogers' reappointment as quartermaster general, and which telegram had been sent by way of strenghten- jns or emphasizing the articles whi-ch had been appearing in 'Goss 'r) 'Town Topics' about Gen- and conditions in the ovmaster corps." The charges that General Hart, while a colonel under General Rogers, "maliciously, selfishly and disloyaly" plotted to prevent his superior's reappointment as quartermaster general and to procure his own appointment to the office, created a great stir throughout army and social circles of the capital where both men are well known.

Case in Bine's Hands. An immediate investigation of the accusations was ordered by the War department. The case, it was stated, is now in the hands of Maj. Gen. John L.

Hines, chief of staff, and will be laid before the inspector general for review. Although War department heads reluctantly admitted that the charges had been filed they to comment further than to say th-ey knew there had been friction between General Rogers and General Hart while the former was quartermaster general. Should this investigation develop grounds for a court martial, General Hart would then be given an opportunity of defending The maximum penalty for conviction of the charges is dismissal from the army. Should General Hart be found guilty three alternatives it was stated today would confront the War department and the President. The general would be sentenced to dismissal from the army.

He could be permitted to retire at his own request after thirty years service in the army. Or he might be ordered to proceed to his home and "there await Instructions" the War department. Chief Witness. In the event of a court martial, Mrs. Dean will probably be one ol the chief witnesses, as her articles in the society magazine and her affidavits are the basis of many of General Rogers most serious charges.

When asked today about her charge that General Hart signed the name of J. C. Scheirom to the alleged telegram to Secretary Weeks, Mrs. Dean said that she distinctly remembered the conversation i General Hart about the telegram. She said she understood the tele- grraim is now locked in the office safe of Secretary Weeks in the War department.

Mrs. Dean indicated in her affidavit that General Hart feared exposure of his in the alleged plot charged by General Rogers. About two years ago, she said that General Hart "tried to get from her a written statement refuting accusations which he asserted had been made connecting hi'm "with some of her literary work but she would not give a statement." "Deponent also states that the said Colonel H. Hart seemed afraid to be seen in public with her, as by his actions on one oc- tasion when, in the spring- of 1 9 2 2 il' she remembers rightly, they were seated at a table in a cafe in New York city, and seeing- an army officer he knew, he his back toward tlie i seemingly to avoid bein.fr re.cogrtized," Mrs. Dean declared in her a i a i Fcnrs A General Hart had been pro- to a major general and a qunMerma-tfter of A and Mry.

Dean had moved to Washington, she said in her a i a i that "General Hart tried to set her to leave Washington, on the ground it was ina.dvisable for her to live in Washing-ton ivhile lie was here." "That was perfectly silly," said Mrs. Dean today. "General Hart told me a some of his friends said it might not look well after my articles. I told him that I had just as to live in Wash- i as he did." In another portion of her affidavit. Mrs.

Dean said a General a feared that she would be subpoenaed in "connection with charg- os i claimed had been made i hat he had friven her information his i anxiety or apprehension creating the impression that he was very mu.fb n.fraid a she might bo Being an old maid isn't so bad if one h.j.s i a i a i enough to re- lots of good chances. LAFOLLETTEGETS, FLYING START ON Klan Endorsee Quits as "Bob" Gets Busy While Supporters Stand by. MILWAUKEE, Sept. While anti-LaFollette leaders tried vainly to reduce the number of RepuVleans who are entered as Independents in the United States senatorial race September 29, Robert M. LaFollette, got a flying start.

He proceeded to Stevens Point, where tonight he opened hia campaign for the i a drive for the senatorship. Developments late today tended to clarify the anti-LaFollette situation. Daniel Woodward, who ran third in the Republican primary w-ith Ku Klux Klan endorsement, and had asserted he might run as an Independent at the election, definitely withdrew. Almost immediately following Woodward's announcement came a statement from C. B.

Lewis, imperial Ku Klux Klan representative In Wisconsin, that the Klansmen of the state were not "going to be fooled into supporting the reactionary elo- ment represented by Roy P. Wll- cox." Mr. Lowis refused to say who would receive the Klan endorsement. SAYS TONSORIAL PROCLIVITIES OF Anent Barber's Protest, Me- Cathran Goes Back to Horse Drawn Days. "In the old days, when horses furnished motive power in the fire department, I remember, boys used to get their hai shingled with the horse clippers, in the fire houses" President Henry N.

McCathron. of the Board of Fire Commissioners said last night, in commenting on the protest which the local barbers' union is sai-d to have filed with the "commissioners anamt the cut-rate neighborhood barber shops which the barbers say are maintained at some of the fire houses about the city. "The present affair," the president of theboard went bn. "I in all liklihood nothing more serious, although I had heard nothing of the matter until it came out in yesterday's and consequently have had no opportunity to look into it." President McCathron did not care to make any statement as to'the probable action of the board of commissioners on the business, before he had further investigated the truth of the reports, he said. The bone of contention Is an allegation of the barbers' union that some ot the firemen are cutting childrens' hair in the fire houses, thus depriving the barber shops of business, and in addition, according to a letter sent to the commissioners by the secretary of the union, Benjamin Juialo, they have no state license to engage in the profession.

The protest will come to the attention of the commissioners at the next meeing. which will be held within a few weeks, it is expected. HUNTS ASSAILANTS WITH RIFLE; IS HELD John Vonnek, thirty-six, 3,0 Charlotte street, armed with a .22 cali- bre rifle, went out gunning last night about 8 o'clock, for three men whom he claimed, had a short while before assaulted him, while he was sitting on the front porch of his home. Vonnek had been drinking. He proceeded some distance on the streets near his home, in search of his a.lleged assailants, and finally fell into the hands of a policeman.

The policeman took Vonnek and his rifle to the Second precinct station, where Vonnek, disarmed was held under a charge of breach of the peace, for investigation, without bonds. Police say the man is probably not in his right mind.

(AP) The Federal Council of Churches today, through a formal statement issued to the Associated Press by the chairman of its Administrative commission officially vouched for the authenticity of the six-part report on prohibition conditions issued in Washington by the Research and Education department of the council. The and authority ol the report had been called into question by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of Washington, general secretary of the Methodist church of America. In the local offices of the council it was said that a possible explanation op the controversy waa that the executive connmlttee of tho of which Dr. Wilson is a member, is composed of widely scattered -members who meet but once a year.

It comprises the committee on policy for the council, while tho administrative committee, of which Dr. John A. Marquis is in tne coirr.imittee on work, or business of the council, and not concerned with policy. The prohibition report thereforn could not have been handled by tho administrative council without tho knowledge of some members of tho executive CORdER IS SURE FLYER DROWNED (Continued from Page One.) he went there to take on gas, and it is this man that is believed to have been Pratt.

CITY'S JEWISH PEOPLE CELEBRATE (Continued from Page One.) sent out Thursday. Many of the cards had insufficient postage. Celebration of the Jewish New Year' differs greatly from the Gen- manner.

according to Rabbi Jacob Meyerovitz, of the Park ave- nu-e temple. There is nn ringing cf the New Tear at midnight and no dancing, drinking- or revelry. Lafit night most Jewish families were in homes and celebrated the day by eating a bountiful supper and going to church. Most Jews will not eat any breakfast this mornlnff. They never do wlven they go to morning- service, said Rabbi Meyerovitz.

OrthofloS At Home. The orthodox Jews will do no traveling- today. If they wish to go abroad will walk and ignore a massing trolley or bus. Tt will be a for reunion among many fam- lies. Relatives from other cities will come and visit.

More than 400 attended services last night in the Park avenue lemple where Rabbi Jacob ovitz, recently returned from Europe, told of his impressions of the trip as they related to the celebration of the New Tear. Preceding th-e sermon n.n elaborate ritual was sung. The choir under the leadership cf Mrs. EInvsr Beardaley, organist nf the Unltoi church, consisted of Joseph Wider, bartton; Donald L. tenor; Mrs.

Florence Klein Bishop, soprano; Miss May E. S. Hard, contralto, and Miss Willa E. Miller, soprano. Among 'he anthems they sang were Send Out Thy Light" and "I will Lift Up Mine Eyes:" Fears Another War.

Rabbi Meyerovitz declared that his trip to Europe convinced him "Europe is heading toward another war on account of the spirit of militarism at present existing. "Poland is an armed camp," said. "The frontiers from Poland to Lithuania are closed up. People can't send letters on state to a I tho little state of Latvia there are 45,000 officials to run the government when only a a would be necessary, the common people as a result helnp- heavily tnx- ed. It reminds one of the conic opera states." Rabbi Meyerovitz went on to nlaln the significance of the New Year.

"it may be raining or sun may be shining when you get up tomorrow. Tour resolve to do better may nnaount to nothing and the New Year may be the same to as other days of the old year unless you make up mind to love neighbor and make the reformation inside." Hebrew Custom. Tn the old Hebrew calendar werr seasonal New Years, i cording to Rabbi Meyerovitz. Hebrew reckoning lias as the first dav of the seventh month.
