British Ship Is
Caught Sending
Code MESSAGES
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Dec. 23.-Lieutenant
Crenshaw, naval radio omcer at the
Panama canal zone, cabled the navy
department today that the wireless
apparatus of the British steamer Pro-
tesilaus in Balboa harbor, was dis
mantled by canal zone police Decem-
Der 10, after it was found she had
been sending code messages.
The cruiser Tacoma is at Cristobal
to ENFORCE neutrality and the navy de-
partment is considering the possibility
of dispatching another vessel to the
canal zone.
A British statement recently to the
navy department. said Governor Go
ethals had said in a written communi-
cation that he had been misinformed
when he charged that British collier
was using it's radio outfit contrary to
neutrality. Officials here now assume
that the governor had reference to
another British ship which also figured
violated the canal rules by leaving
Balboa without clearance papers and
that the vessel had been confounded
with the Protesilaus. The unnamed
collier had no wireless apparatus.
The Protesilaus is a British mer-
chant steamer Of 6,11S tons which,
under charter of the British govern
ment, sailed from Victoria, B. c., in
for Balboa, Panama canal
zone. It was assumed she carried coal
and supplies for British naval vessels.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 23.-The Hos
ter-Columbus Breweries Company, a
$4,000 600 corporation, went into the
hands of receivers today on order of
the Federal district court. Decreased
demand for beer. adverse legislation
and the voting dry of many states
and counties in the last eight years
was given as the cause.
The appointment of receivers was
made by Judge Safer upon a showing
that the company had defaulted pay
ment upon. a judgment of S3,51s.
The company had 81 $780, 600 out
standing capital stock and S4,ss9,0o0
outstanding bonds, with $6,000,000
stock and the same amount of bonds
authorized. Most stocks and bonds
were secured by mortgages on prop
erty owned by the brewery company
in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, and New Jersey.
In its statement the company de-
clared the voting dry of West Virginia
was .'the last straw" in a series of leg
islative acts which reduced seriously
the sale Of its product.
