By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, June 1.—The contents of the latest memorandum of Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary, dealing with the dispute between Great Britain and Russia. strengthen the belief that the crises arising from Great Britain' demands on Russia has not passed The memorandum reiterates the old demands and makes new . ones. but it is somewhat less emphatically insistent on the withdraw f Russia’'s repre- sentatives in Persia and _Afghanistan, who are alleged to have heen carrying on anti-British propaganda. Makes One Concession. While as yet there has-been no offi: cial consideration of the memorandum the opinion is general that it demands even more than the original ultimatum The only British concession is that instead of calling for an apology and the withdrawal of Russia’s repre sentatives from Afghanistan, it says their transference to other posts within a reasonable time would be considered satisfactory. Slightly More Friendly. The me andum is worded more amicably than the imatum, It agrees to a conference over the limit of territorial waters if the other powers also agree. but in the mean- time. without a formal conventlon, it want tussia to admit British fishing rights up to three miles from the coast. The memorandum suggests com- pensation to the amount of £3,000 in the case of Mrs. Stan Harding, new: paper correspondent, who suffered ar- rest at the hands of Russla, and £10,- 000 in the case of Charles F. Davison, a civil engineer, who was executed in 1920. Russia is requested to set the machinery in motion for the settle- ment of claims of other British sub- jects. FIGURES FLY THICK P N THAL OF MORSE Testimony in.the Morse conspiracy ®aso beforo Justice Stafford and a fury in Criminal Division 1 today ®gain led through a maze of figures. H. T. Flelding, an auditor connected with the Department of Justice, was the only witness examined at the morning session. He had examined Ihe books of the C. V. Morse Company and had prepared a statement re- flecting the conditions of the books. Attorney Nash Rockwood and th witness entered into a lengthy col- loquy as to the meanings of the v rious entries and why they had been rlassified in a certain wa: by the auditor. Justice Stafford interrupted the examination to suggest that the jury was receiving no light from the continued cross-questioning. The wit- s had given his reasons for the classification, and it was for the jury o decide if such was the proper clas- sification, Before calling Mr, Fielding to the witness stand the prosecution intro- duced a certified copy of a statement from Colin H. Livingston, then presi- dent of the Virginia. Shipbuilding Company, or the American Shipbuild- ing Company, as it was then known, in which it was declared that $1,000, 000 would be paid for a proposed issue of 10,000 shares of the corpora- tion. In connection with this state- ment the government's counsel read ihto_ the record two letters dated about that time. One ‘was from Charles W. Morse, president of the United States Steamship Company, notifying C. H. Livingston that the steamship company held $1,000,000 for stock of the American gompany and will honor drafts atany time for any of all of that amount” The other was from Livingston to Mr. Mor announcing the requirement of the Virginia corporation authorities that jt._ was necessary to show that the American company had ‘the $1,000,000 in_the treasury of the company.

Br the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 1.—State's Attor- new Crowe's campaign against “bucket {shop” operaters, who have been fleec- ing hundreds of customers of thou- sands of dollars. was being carried on today under the direction of three {of his assistants. The number of such fake brokerage houses, where many worthless highly speculative sccurities have been sold, is not known, but is esti- mated by some financial men to range from 40 to 140. One block in the {sauthern end of the loop district has become 80 infested with the “buck- eters” that it has come to be known as the “Ponzi block.” In these so-called brokerage offices the ignorant and unwary are trapped into giving over their money for spurious securities, oftentimes pay- ing prices many times more than such cheap, speculative or spurious securi- ties might be purchased, according to Samuel O.

TWO DISTRICTS FORMED OF RAILWAY OPERATION St. Louis-San Francisco Line Fa- cilitates Administrative Detail, Is Announcement Made. ST. LOUIS, Mo. June 1.—Operation of the Louls-San Francisco rail- road today was divided into two dis- st “late shall | tricts to facilltate administrative de- tail. it was announced offices here. M. M. Sisson. formerly assistant to the president, has been appointed as- at general tend that there's a difference between | sistant general manager in charge of the positive command contained in the words “shall appoint” and the statement that the several states “shall have” concurrent power to en- force or define the eighteenth amend- ment. The “wets” can find no obliga- tion conveyed in the words ‘shall have.” The case of the “drys” really is that the obligation is one of moral compulsion to make the enforcement of prohibition uniform, but that goes back again to whether a beverage is or is mot intoxicating at one-half of one per cent. Legally there are plenty of loop- holes. Morally there are differences of opinion as to what is good and bad for the nation and state. Polit cally there are obligations galore. All three are always interwoven in prohibition (Cepyright, 1923.) TO CALL ON SHERIFFS. NEW YORK, June 1.—Federal Pro- hibition Director Canfleld today said that should Gov, Smith sign the re- peal of the Mullan-Gage law, he im- mediately would call on each sheriff to enforce the federal prohibition act. There are more than 24,000 enforce- ment officers, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs d police, in the state. T shall call attention to the fact that .the oath of office requires them to officially and actively enforce the eighteenth amendment of the federal Constitution.” said Mr. Canfleld, and that the national prohibition act spe cifically requires all enforcement of ficials to enforce the act. including state, county and municipal enforce- ment officers. In the event that any such official’ ignores the duty placed upon him and fails to properly deal with open, flagrant and notorious vio- lations within their respective juris- dictions, it will be incumbent “upon me to call the same to the attention of the govérnor for consideration and action.
