Kremer, assistant secretary of the shipping board identified the stock certificate book. He pointed | out that out of the 500,000 shares authorized the government owned 499,993, leaving only seven shares for qualifying places on the board of di- ectors. These seven shares were issued in April, 1917, but it was not until August 31, 1920, that the min- utes of the fleet corporation showed that the purchase of those seven tshares had been ratified. | Mr. Allison also read a number of excerpts from the minutes of the Groton Iron Works relating to the | contracts with the fleet corporation | and authorizing or approving changes made in the agreements. i ® | JASPAR’S ILLNESS REAL, SAYS BELGIAN ENVOY = N | Foreign Minister Undergoes Oper- | ation, Preventing Conference l on Reparations.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 28.—One man may die, four are suffering from serious knife wounds and a number of others are cut and bruised as re- sult of a riot between white and Filipino sallors of the battle fleet at Los Angeles harbor yesterday. The trouble started when a white sailor was efected from 4 dance in- tended exclusively for Filipinos. About 1,200 of his white comrades, armed with bricks, started for the dance hall. At the entrance they were stoppgd by the police and sailors on patrol duty while the hall was cleared of the Filipinos. They then descended on a Chinese restaurant filled with Filipino sailor patrons and a free-for-all fight ensued. R. D. Drummond of the U. S. S. Mississippl was shot in the left side. His assailant was not caught. Drum- mond was taken to the submarine ‘base hospital, wrese it was said his recovery was doubtful. Four other white sailors were slashed severely, but were returned to their ships after emergency treat- ment at the receiving hospital. Sev- eral score others wero said to have recelved minor knife wounds and abrasions from bricks and other mis- siles. L. J.

How the United States has “dried up” under prohibition, despite rum- running and bootlegging, was the subject of a statistical statement to- day by Federal Prohibition Commi sioner Haynes. He gave out flgur showing that major imports of dis- tilled spirits to the nearby liquor smuggling sources altogether amount- ed to slightly over 1 per cent of pre- prohibition American liquor with- drawals. “Allowing none for home use, Commissioner Haynes, “if the entire amount of exports of distilled spirits from the United Kingdom to the Ba- hamas, West Indies and Canada in 1923, as indicated by the present rate, be added to the imports of Mexico in 1921 (the latest figures available), and smuggled into the United States, the total would be about 13 per cent of the tax-paid liquor withdrawals for, consumption for the fiscal year 1913. Little Good Liquor. “It is readily seen that there is lei occasion to worry over the ‘rum fleet’ smugglers than over domestic con- coction of fraudulent spirits. If a greater amount is smuggled In ¢@an these figures show it is certain that expansion comes by means of adulter- ation and rectification, or is synthetic stuft smuggled out and in aga{n? The percentage of good liquor found in government confiscations amounts to Jess than 1 per cent. Recent maga- zine and newspaper revelations be out this statement.” Commissipner Haynes' figures show- ed 1,624,136 gallons of spirits export- ed from the United Kingdom to Can- ada in 1913—before proh!bition— against 813,105 gallons last year. The Canadian imports so far this year show a reduction of about 59 per cent from the 1913 rate, he added. United Kingdom Imports to the West | Inates and Bahamas showed an in- crease from 94,140 gallons in 1913 to 350,311 gallons for the first four months of this year, or at an annual rate of 1,050,933 gallons. Figures Are Low. “If the entire amount was smuggled into the United States” said Com- missioner Haynes, “it would equal less than three-quarters of one per cent of the tax-paid liquor withdrawals for the fiscal vear 1913, amounted to 140,289,424 gallons. “Storles broadcast regarding the large amount of liquor being smui gled into the United States are valu- able to the bootlegger to foist his polsonous wares on the public as , ‘genuine imported stuff,’ for which he gets fabulous prices. In the same manner is the ‘embassy’ fiction used in Washington to help sale of boot- leg liquor.” —_— BRYAN TO PRESIDE. ‘Will Direct Economic Conference at Gothenburg.
