By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, La, March 30— Edmond Talbot, United States district attorney, sald today there was no foundation for reports that charges would be dismissed against Capt. John ‘Thomas Randell and his crew of seven men from the Canadian rum schooner I'm Alone, sunk by Coast Guardsmen in the Gulf of Mexico. Reports persisted, however, that the charges would be dropped at a United States commissioner's hearing next Tuesday. The men are charged with conspiracy to violate the prohibition act. “The reports are based on guesses out of thin air,” the district attorney said. “They probably gerw out of the fact that the crew were released from cus tody on their own recognizance without Tequiring a bond.” Capt. Randell, Canadian skipper, is additicnally charged with interfering with a customs agent in his boarding duties and was released on $500 bond. Coast Guardsmen charged he tried to prevent them from boarding his ship by drawing a pistol and threatening to use it if they attempted to search the I'm Alone. Coast Guardsmen then pursued the rum ruhner and sank it in the Gulf with 2,400 cases of liquor after firing a number of shots. STIMSON STUDYING CASE. Becretary of State Turns Attention to H Sinking of Ship. By the Associated Press. ! Henry L. Stimson, the new Secretary iof State, announced yesterday at his ! first conference with press correspond- ients that he had interested himself in «the shaping of an American policy in the I'm Alone case. He declined, how- ever, to discuss the subject. ‘The sinking of the Canadian rum rurner by a Coast Guard patrol boat twas regarded in official circles as per- haps the most troublesome question be- Zqueathed Mr. Stimson by former Secre- stary Frank B. Kellogg, who today as a “private citizen once more turned his < thoughts to his vacation. ¢ The Canadian legation, meanwhile, % forwarded to the Ottawa government #the full reports of the British consul 2at New Orleans and those received from = the Coast Guard through the State De- 2partment. The legation was awaiting « instructions from the Canadian govern- 2 ment before pressing the case further. % _ Sir Esme Howard, the British Am- & bassador, who withdrew from active in- § terest in the case on learning that the £ ship was of Canadian registry, also sent { the reports to London. The British § government still is directly interested ;slnce interpretations of the rum-smug- - gling treaty of 1924 between the United ¢ States and Great Britain are involved. % The French embassy had not yet re- = ceived an answer to its request for in- 3 structions regarding the drowning of »the French seaman attached to the § vessel.

All discussions in the general ses- sions and round-table conference will relate to the central theme of the meet- ing, “Growing Responsibilities of Busi- ness.” Purpose of Sessions. In announcing the preliminary pro- gram Willlam Butterworth, president, declared that “it is highly important that business men should come together once a year to take stock of their re- sources and chart a course for the fur- ther advancement of business during the ensuing year. “Probably never before in the history of American business,” he said, “was there such a great need for concerted action among business men in attacking their common problems as exists today. Everywhere great economic changes are altering the channels of business prog- ress. Old lines are disappearing and new ones are taking their places. Tried processes fall before the onslaught of sclence and competitive currents move in a broader sweep. “Business security must be gauged not in the light of the present but of conditions that will prevail next week ] ILEAD, Ohio, & ().—Four girls, all believed to be from » Middletown, Ohio, were drowned last I night when their automobile plunged « into & small creek near here.
