Interna! Revenue Commissioner
Urges Co-opecation of Minis
ters and Federal Agents
'THE UPLIFT OF THE HOME
NEEDS YOU NOW,' HE SAYS
Wants Each Church to Form
Vigilance Committee to Seek'
Evidence Against Violators
AW of the clergy ami the church con
tetations In the enforcement of uro
llbltlon has been requested by Daniel
C. Roper, commissioner of internal rev
time, in a letter mailed every clprgvm'an
in the country, from Washington. D. C.
Commissioner Roper asks each church
to form a sort of vigilance committee,
to seek evidence of law violations, and
report the same to the proper authori
ties As the letters are to individual
clergymen, the denominations have
Uken no official cognizance of it, leaving
it, for the rao6t oart, to the, individual
clergymen to decide.
Enforcement Now the Issue
Mr. Roper, after referring to the
action of the clergymen of America in
treating a proper point of view toward
the income tax, writes:
"You have always stood for the so
briety of manhood and the uplift of the
home. The cause of law and order nl-
ways finds in you strong champion -ship.
It needs you now. Clergymen
throughout the United States for years
have been urging that the government
'sever its partnership with the liquor
business.' After many years of con
troversy the national prohibition law is
now an accomplished fact. But the re
sults for which the clergy have so
earnestly striven the sobriety of man
hood, the supremacy of law and order
have not "been attained by the mere
enactment of a law. Only by its cn-
Ii lorcemcnt can these benehts be realized.
t "The period of controversy has
passed. We arc not now concerned in
on j- debate as to whether or not national
prohibition is the best thing for the
country. It is'now the law of tho land.
My appeal to you, therefore is not for
prohibition, nor for revenue measures,,
but" simply for the creation of strong
public support for enforcement of the
law. The public mind must be clari
fied, misunderstanding of the situation
awept away, and tho right spirit
aroused.
. Must Help Federal Officers
? -.Wfour. own church- .members, of
course, will give unhesitating adherence
to the prohibition law, but it is neces
sary that iney do more. To co-ordluate
and give force and direction to their in
dividual efforts, it is strongly urged
that a committee of law enforcement be
appointed to receive all complaints of
violations of law and to lodgo such com
plaints, together with the evidence ob
tained, wth the proper authorities.
"The active support of such a com
mittee, backed by the influence of your
members, will be a very great help to
local officers federal, state and country
ia enforcing the law. Wherever any
officer faiiB in his duty, public senti
ment should secure his removal. Your
valiant leadership, and your ringing
challenge to the citizenship and the
moral sense of your church members
will be the chief Influence in creating
the right public Bpirlt in your com
munity." , As the aid of the police of all cities
in enforcing prohibition was asked bj
(he government. Director Cortelyou hns
instructed the police that they must be
just as alert as the agenta of the federal
Government to, catch violators.
Network Thrown Over City
The authorities have thrown n care
ful network of enforcement machinery
all over the city. It will be difficult for
even the most strategic Jiquor dispenser
to wriggle through without capture.'
Roy L. Dailey, assistant federal pro
hibition enforcement officer here, and
United States District Attorney Kane
ere at their desks early today iu order
to put in motion the machinery neces
sary for punishing violators of the law.
All of the agents of the Department
o' Juttico were mobilized here this
Morning by Todd Daniel. They are
workiDg with the special prohibition en
forcement deputies.
'We are receiving real assistance
irora tho polico now in enforcing "the
prohibition law," Mr. Dailey said.
Their work is not half-hearted. With
wector Cortelyou in charge they are
ware that real police work will have
lo be done. It is fortunate that we have
j1" help. Any man who has been a
ederal dicer knows the difficulties
iuiu are encountered liv inn in em.

story leaked out today.
"I'll be back on the job soon," the
senator continued in a voice as vigorous

Lady Lodge Brings Cheer
to Mothers Bereft by War
.-. y. -
Wife of Scientist Says Psychic Messages From Son Give
Solacet and Indicate Boy Killed at
Ypres Is Happy
Bu a Staff Correspondent
New Yorli, Jan. 17.
'Lady Lodge, wife of the famous
British scientist and investigator of
psychic phenomena, says, she brings a
messago of cheer to tho mothers 'of
America who have lost their sons in the
war."
She arrived Thursday with her dis
tinguished husband from England and
is at present staying at the ltitz-Carl-ton
Hotel in this city.
As the mother of a boy who served
in the British army and made the su
preme sacrifice at the battle of Ypres,
September 14, 1015," said Lady Lodge,
"and who hns been in constant com
niuuicatiou uith me since a fortnight
after he fell in battle, I feel that I
have a messago which will bo helpful
to American mothers similarly situ
ated. "My son has received my messages,
spoken and written; ho understands my
sorrow and he is able to follow the daily
events of our family life. It helps me
in my bereavement to know this, and it
must help American mothers, too. I
can assure them absolutely that their
sons and other loved ones arc constantly
informed of what goes on in this mortal
world and that they aro eager to com
municate, but that it is extremely diffi
cult to do so except through natural
mediums."
Lady Lodge, in contrast to her stat
uesque husband, is a 'little woman,
quick in speech and vitally interested in
the personal side of communication with
the dead, understanding tho heart-hunger
of American women to communi
cate with their lost loved ones and in
terested more in the sentimental phase
than her distinguished husband.

Daughter of P,eter O'Neil, Mel-
rose Millionaire, Makes Charge
in Suit to Break Testament
FEARED SHE'D "MEET MEN'
Peter O'Neil, millionaire Philadel
phia manufacturer, is. said to have built
a barbed wlro fence aroundthc rear of
his bbau"fifiil home a '"Melrose, Ph.i
under the hallucination that Uts" wife
might sneau out and meet men.
This assertion is made in a petition
filed by Mrs. Mary Donnellya married
daughter, with the Orphans' Court in
Norristown todny, asking that her fa
ther's will bo set aside. O'Neil died
nearly a year ago. leaving au estate
alued at .$1,000,000.
The millionaire testator, according to
'he petition, at the time he made his
will and codicil), in 1013 and 1017. and
'or many years before, "was addicted
to the excessive uso of intoxicating li
quors and labored under the hallucina-
wuvs true and dutiful, was unfaithful
ion that his wife, nn acert woman, al
i him." He also had the hallucination
he petition alleges, that his young
daughters were guilty of unseemly con-
luet.
Iu the will O'Neil gave his wifo the
use of the home at Mclroee free of taxes.
$3000 in cash and au annuity of $300.
Made Cash Gifts
In the codicil. Mr. O'Neil revoked the
bequest of the Melrose home, increased
the cash gift to $25,000. and left her
the income from $100,000.
Mary and Catharine, two daughters,
were given $2j,000 each absolutely.
The codicil revoked this bequest" to
Mary, and changed the bcquesMo Cath
arine to $5000 in cash and $35,000 in
trust, tho principal to revert to her at
the ago of thirty.
The origiual will gives the residue to
four sons, Jlichael, Francis, Joseph and
Arthur. The" codicil alters this beguest
also, giving Michael $S0,000 absolutely,
Arthur $5000 absolutely, plus the in
come from $75,000, with the principal
also at the ago of thirty.
The original will had provided that
the residue be distributed equally be
tween the four sons. The codicil gives
the entire residue to Joseph nnd Fran
cis. Questioned Chauffeur
Some of the dead millionaire's pe
culiarities are set forth in Mrs. Don
nelly's petition. She nvers that he was
so suspicious that -when her mother
went shopping or to church, tho chauf
feur of the family automobile was cross
questioned on their return, and made
to give minute details as to iiow much
time she had spent in different places,
the people she had met nnd conversed
with. He employed detectives to watch
his wife, and after they had been dis
missed through the intervention of a
friend of the family, he kept in constant
touch with a member of the Ogontz po
lico force. It was at this tlmo that
he caused tho barbed wire fence to
be built at the rear of his home.
FOUR BOYS FLEE FROM JAIL'S
They Are Now In City Hall Celld

Four boys who escaped from two jails
in the last week are now locked in City

fortnight after Raymond's death that I
went from our country home to Londou
to consult a medium. I went at the in

stopping with me nnd who had been
heart-broken by the death of her two
sons in tho war. Personally. I felt from
Sa&t experience that very often when
umans 'pass over' they are unconscious

In return he was willing to close I

Dcschtmel's Election Sweet
Revenge for 'Tigers'1 Scratch
Paris. Jan. 17. Dechanel's elec
tion ns president of France, uftcr
forcing the retirement of M. Clem
euceau, is sweet revenge for his de
feat on tho field of honor by the
"Tiger'' twenty-six years ago.
Then, when Clemencoau was neither
a deputy nor a senator, he wrote
an article in his newspaper, La
Justice, criticizing M. Dcschanel for
an interpellation made against the
Rrisson ininistiy on the law against
anarchists.
M. Deschanel. offended by the
terms of the article, sent his seconds
to M. Ocmonceau, who was noted
as a duelist. Tho meu met with
swords and Deschanei received a
wound oi er the eye, which was so
severe that the seconds would not
permit the duel to coutiuue.

DEPARTMENT FAILED
TO FORMULATE POLICY
! Ignored Scienco of Warfare by
j Directing Action From Dis
j tance, Admiral Says
I By tlio Associated Press
j Washington, Jan. 7. Rear Admiral
Sims told the Senate committee icves
I tigating naval awards todny that when
he was ordered to ErIand in March.
'1017, just before the Unitcd States etit
' tered the war, he was instructed by the
I Navy Department "not to let the Brit
I ish pull the wool ocr your eyesf," and
that "we would just as soon fight the
j British as the central powers."
The admiral also charged that Amer
ican naval headquarters in London did
not receive co-operation from the Navr
Department and that the department
did not arrive at any decided plan oj
action until ten months after lie ar
! rived in London. He added that '
1 was tec months before we really came
; to the aid of the Allies or acted on their
recommendations." j.
Admiral Sima's testimony -was in the
i form of a letter to Secretary Daniels,
.entitled "Some Naval Lessons of th,(
Great War," which Mr. Daniels rv
ceived several days ago. The letter
criticized the department for attempting
1 to administer the details of uction by
the American naval forces overseas and'
alleged that the department demanded
that it be permitted to pass fully on ajl
plans, even those regarding action.
' against the enemy.
Admiral Situs's letter said that al-'
though ho. asked repeatedly that officers
be sent to London to assist him. the
1 department did not send any officers
' until four mouths after the United
States entered tho wnr. During that
time only one officer was assisting hlrni.
hc said, adding that the department
said no other officers were available' for
this duty. "
"I was tr.vine to cet the denartmen't
1 to understand that I was confronted
! with a physically impossible staff if 'I
had but one- aide," the letter said. 'It,

zone."
The letter said Rear Admiral Bcn
i son. former chief of inuul operations,
cabled Admiral Sims that there- was
1 much discussion in the United States
regarding his complaints about not re
ceiving aid from the Navy Depart
ment and advising him to send a "strong
statemeut" of the situation.
i "Although war with Germany liafl
been imminent for many months, there
was no policy formulated In advance so
far as the commander in European m--tcrs
was Informed." Admiral Sims'
letlpr said, "and uo policy was an
nounced until three months after war
was declared. "
Department's, "Gr.no Errors
Admiral Sims's letter said the fol--
lowiug "grave errors" were committed
tin- Navy Department "in violation
ot"the fundamental military principles:"
First. Although war with Gcr-
man had been imminent fur many
mouths prior to its declaration thcr
was. nevertheless, no mature pian
developed or navy policy adopted in
preparation for war in so jar as us
commander in Europe was informed.
' Secoud. The Navy Department did
not announce a policy until three
mouths after war was declared ati
leant not to its representative and;
the (ommnuder of tho forces in,
Europe.
Third. The Navy Department did
not enter whole-heartedly into th
campaign for many mouths after wo
declared wnr. thus putting a great
traiu upon the morale of the lighting
forres in the war area by decreasing
their confidence in their lenders.
Fourth. The outbreak of hostilities
