RESTORATION OF BEER
Will GIVE IRE
TO MILLION MEN
WASHINGTON Sept., 18, (/P)—
Questions of restoring beer to good
grace in the United States and en-1
larging cash bonus payments <oj
World War veterans became the
centers of discussions at the Amer
ican Legion unemployment confer
ence which opened here this week.
General James C. Harbord, form
er Chief of Staff of the American j
Expeditionary Forces, caused a i
stir among delegates when he de
clared it was utterly ridiculous for
the American Legion to go to the
National Conference to be held in
Detroit with a plan for country
wide relief in one hand, and a “tin
cup” in another. By “tin cup” he
meant the plan of the veterans to
ask for larger payments on bonus
certificates. It is agreed that such
a demand could be met only by in
creasing the already large treasury;
deficit.
M. F. McDonough, president of j
the Building and Trades Depart- j
ment, American Federation of j
Labor, also caused a stir with the !
suggestion that modification of \
theVolstead Act to permit the re-j
turn of beer, which would afford j
employment for more than a mil- !
lion men within six months.
Estimates were advanced to show j
that 750,000 World War veterans!
are jobless at present.

IS
[
NEW YORK, Sept., 18, (VP)—With
hands and feet securely tied, the
bruised and battered body of Ben
jamin P. Collings, Stamford, Conn.,
yachtsman, missing in a Long Is
land pirate mystery, was washed
ashore in Cold Spring Harbor yes
terday- The bruises on his arms
gave evidence that the man had j
been bound and thrown into the!
sea after a terrific struggle.
An autopsy showed the skull had
been fractured by heavy blows.!
There was a triangular gash across |
the throat, indicating he had been
murdered aboard his yacht.
A former sailor, consulted by the j
authorities, said both ropes which,
bound the hands and ankles of the!
victim, “had been tied by an ex- |
pert”.
I Condition of the body, bore out
I in many respects, the story told by
! Mrs. Lillian Codings, the dead
man’s wife, who related how two
pirates boarded the yacht as it lay
at anchor last Wednesday night,
threw her husband into the sea,
forced her into a canoe, rowed her
across the Sound and subjected
her to indignities, before leaving
j her adrift in the abandoned craft.
The authorities are not entirely
| satisfied with her story of the pir
ate attack and will question her
1 further. The woman formerly de
clared she overheard her husband
| exclaim, “They are tying me up
They are throwing me overboard”.
But- the authorities are unable to
(understand how the man could
| have retained consciousness to
make such exclamations,after his
| skull had been crushed in as it was.
, The body of the yachtsman came
‘ ashore a short distance from where
! the yacht lay at anchor on the
j night of the attack.
