Port. Capt. Frank Gionanni, commander of the ship Anna of Panama, which he says was detained by Coast Guards at Beaufort, N, C., for one year because he failed to report the entry of his vessel at Morehead City, N. C, is in Wash- ington today to confer with members of the North Carolina delegation at the Capitol in regard to filing a claim against the Government in an effort to recover losses he claimed he sustained while his ship was in custody of the Coast Guards, Meanwhile the strange case of the on an added complication when it was learned from Dr. R.

Rucker, an Army vessel. Capt. Gionanni, his crew of one and two pet Kkittens were found by Maj. i | W. H. Lloyd, post surgeon at Fort Wash- ington, late Friday night just off Fort Washington, where the two men had finally stopped their becalmed ship. Both men were suffering from hunger, their food supply having been exhaust- ed in a 21-day trip from Norfolk, and Maj. Lloyd and his daughter, Miss Sarah Lloyd, returned to the ship with food and clothing for the men. Capt. Gionanni ate a hearty break- fast this morning, dressed in a suit of clothes given him at Fort Washington, and expects to confer with Representa~ tive C. L. Abernethy and Senator F. M. Simmons this afternoon. Seeks a New Start. ‘The Austrian seaman claims that dur- ing the period the Coast Guard held his ship all of his funds, amounting to $4,500; his provisions, gasoline and oil were exhausted and that his ship was damaged in a tow from Morehead City to Beaufort. The damages were re- paired by Gionanni at New Bern. It is for the gurpose of recovering his losses and obtaining a new start. that Gionanni is in the Capital. Sympathetic North Carolinians, who became interested in Gionanni while his ship was in custody have given him let- ters of introduction to Representative Abernethy and Senator Simmons in mfif that they can aid him in his POTOMAC PARK WALK NEARLY COMPLETED Work Pushed Under Iieut.

NGHT 10 DENAND RECORDS ARGUED Power of Jury to Call for F. H. Smith Company Papers Challenged. The right of the District grand jury to call for numerous papers and rec- ords of the F. H. Smith Co. and a number of allied corporations and in- dividuals through the means of *“John Doe” subpoena was argued today be- fore Justice Willlam Hitz in Criminal Division 2. The persons and corpora- tions summoned contended that the Government, which is prosecuting the inquiry into certain financial transac- tlons, is conducting a “fishing expedi- tion” and is violating the constitutional rights of the companies and individuals to know against whom the inquiry is directed. ‘The attack on the subpoenas was led by Attorney Rudolph H. Yeatman of the firm of Lambert & Yeatman and their issuance was defended by Nugent Dodds, special assistant to the Attorney General. Dodds claimed the grand jury has & right to obtain the information desired and told the court that he fears to be too specific in naming the papers wanted unless there might be a “mys- terious disappearance of the papers,” which he charged had occurred last May when certain papers were said to have been taken into Maryland after a summons had been issued for their presentation before the grand jury. Dodds declared he had never known “private and confidential” as an excuse of a corporation asserting that infor- mation sought by the grand jury was for refusing to respond to a subpoena. Yeatman insisted that the cards asked for were contained in a number of metal cases which would require the services of draymen to bring before the grand jury. He said the cards con- tained information given by purchasers to their private affairs and ability to buy bonds and could not be of any CUSTOMS DUTIES T0 BE DISCUSSED Pan-American Commission to Consider Methods at Meet- ing Opening Monday. Methods of promoting interamerican trade will be discussed at sessions of the Pan-American Commission on Customs Procedure and Port Formalities, opening next Monday at the Pan-American Union Building. Important recommen- dations are expected to be made to the 21 American governments. ‘The conference will seek “simplifica- tion of the formalities and so far as elimination of unn port for- ples and rules of customs procedure, and elimination of unnecessary port r- malities” in order to obtain “develop- ment of maritime communications and the normal growth of commerce between the nations of America. Experts pointed out that while there is general similarity in principle and purpose among the 21 American re- publics as regards collection of customs duties and charges, there are a variety of methods by which these charges are made, thus leading frequently to con- fusion misunderstanding and delay in the conduct of business between these countries. It was pointed out that it is not the purpose of the conference to interfere in any way with the general tariff poli- cles of the different countries of their rights to establish the amount of import duties and charges on different com- modities. but simply to consider the me:ihod.s by which these charges are made.
