1 Woman Will Make Decision Sending Navy Into Action Mabel Walker Willebrandt Holds Every Force at Com mand of Harding May Be Used in Rum War. | By I nli.nal Service. L Washington, April 28.—A woman Wff will make the momentous decison that W will, in all probability, send the navy y into armed action against the rum fleet off the American coast. This was strongly intimated at the office of Mabel AValker AVillebrandt, assistant attorney general, Depart ment of Justice, to whom has been referred the president's request for F a legal opinion as to his right to take . such action. Mrs. Willebrandt holds that, the 18th amendment (the dry act) is as in violate as the 19th amendment (suff rage), under which she holds office, and that every agency at the command of the government should be employed to see that the law is upheld. Wages Hot Bat lie. In her office today she waged a , grim battle with constitutional law ' yers on the right of the president to de clare the existence of an emergency which would permit him to call out the armed froces. Although the ques tion is a new one, the president's re quest having just been received, it was said that Mrs. AVillebrandt bad found ample justification unless over ruled by Attorney'General Daugherty in person. It was pointed out to the govern ment's Portia that the armed forces may be used only In cases of treason, insurrection/6r actual invasion. She held that the attitude of the rum run ners is in direct and open defiance of all established law and should properly be construed to come within the meaning of any one of the three captions. Precedent ill Coal Strike. In her ruling >he will hold that at any time the duly constituted authori ties of the state or federal govern ment are unable to cope with a situa tion the president has the right to caty out additional forces, it was said. Precedent for this is found in the action of the government in sending | federal troops into AVest A’irginia dur *tng the coal strike and in the threat ened employment of troops in the W shop strike on various occasions. Already convinced that it will he called upon ttrbear the burden of the liquor offensive, the navy has made a tactical study of the problem and the availability of ships to be em ployed. At the outset there was re i vealed a shortage of ships of a type especially suited for antismuggling purposes. These are the submarine chasers, mine layers and small craft used ex tensively in shoal waters. Practically all of them have been assigned to naval militia or reservists, and are now being outfitted for a series of summer cruises and general training purposes. U. P.

By Anurlalnl Frew. Moscow, April 28.—A scientific ex pedition financed by the government has solved a mystery of BO years standing by its discovery of a mag netic iron ore field In Kursk. The ore was found at a depth of 600 feet and in such quantities as to arouse the hope thut it may develop into one of the world's largest fields. About BO years ago it was noted that compasses used in Kursk, in stead of pointing directly at the north magnetic- pole, swerved as much ss BO degrees toward an indefinable stretch of territory. The presence of magnetic ore was agreed to be the cause, but hundreds of borings failed to locate It. The soviet expedition was sent at the instance of Premier I.enlne and was headed by Professors I.aznrov, Gubkin and Arehangelsky. They found the ore after six months' work in the vicinity of the provincial town of Tchigri. The ore sent here assays from 50 to 75 per cent pure magnetic iron. The researches Indicate that the ore field is 250 kilometers long snd from one to two kilometers wide, vary ing in depth from 500 to 800 feet. St. Mary Reunion Banquet. 8t. Mary College (Kan.)
