WHITEHALL BLOCK ON VIADUCT
IS RAVAGED BY HUGE
CONFLAGRATION
Search Of Foreign Vessels May Be
Made In Event That Communica
tion Is Established With U. S.
Washington.—Curtailment of the ac
tivities of American prohibition en
forcement officers on the high seas was
decided upon by President Harding and
his cabinet at the last regular meeting
of the official family.
Search of foreign vessels for contra
band liquor outside the international
three-mile limit may be made hereafter
only in the event that the vessels ac
tually establish communication with
American shores by means of their
own crews or small boats.
Search under such circumstances has
been upheld recently by Federal Dis
trict Judge Morton at Boston in the
case of the British schooner Grace and
Kuby.
An appeal in that case has been
taken to the Supreme court and, it is
stated that a decision will be has
tened.
Foreign vessels outside the three-
mile limit unloading ^heir cargoes of
contraband rum onto craft from Amer
ican shores would not come within the
federal law, in the view of high ad
ministration officials.
American craft, however, undertaking
to land the contraband would be sub
ject to search and seizure.
President To Name Coal Commission
Washington.—President Harding will
name the members of the coal com
mission under the Borah fact-finding
bill, it is announced at the white
house. Mr. Harding, it is stated, is
waiting for operators and miners to
submit nominations for their repre
sentatives on the commission. It is ew
phasized, however, that the president
is not bound to appoint any of these)
nominees.

loath to change.”

threatened to destroy the entire block
between Alabama, Broad and White

some only half awake'and clad in night
attire, fled from the building ns the
blaze grew in size and the .flames dart
ed across the narrow alley between
the burning stores and the hotel.
Red hot pieces of roof big-were swirl
ed up in the terrific heat waves gen

in all parts of the central buslnesa
section, igniting canvas awnings on
