j. S. HAS DATA T0PRESS
CLAIM FOR FRYE SINKING
Papers From Ship Owner. Show
Cargo Consigned ITO Order" at
Queenstown. Ireland.

State Department officials have now
gathered practically all the data sought
by them preparatory to requesting
Germany to make reparation for the
sinking of the American ship. William
F. Frye, and cargo by the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich.
No word has been received from the
Berlin government as yet concerning
the case, it was said, and the note set
ting forth the views of the Washington
government probably will be sent
within few days.
Papers Are Straight.
The papers signed by the owners of
the Frye before the vessel left Seattle,
Wash. reached the Treasury Depart
ment last night and were transmitted
TO the State Department. 1t is under
stood that they bear out published re-
ports that the cargo was consigned to
order at Queenstown, Ireland and do
not show any subsequent sale to an
English firm.
The American complain will be that
there was no proof that the foodstuffs
were destined to the belligerent forces
of Great Britain. The general belief
is that the German government will
make reparaton for the loss of ship
and lcargo and that the incident will
be closed shortly.

Boards Reply to League.

The excise board has had under con-

March IL Its answer. sent to Attor-
ney Shoemaker. was as follows:
The excise board is in receipt of
your letter of March IL. 1915, in which
you allege that the board has granted
many licenses in violation of law, and
many saloons and wholesale liuuor es-
"a aollshments are now being operated in
the District under and by virtue of Ii
censes Illegally granted. and therefore
void and of no legal effect whatever
The board has to inform you it be-
ileves that 1t has properly performed
Its duty and granted no licenses with
out necessary sanction of law.
Under any circumstances the board
would be powerless to close such es-
adjustments. Those who would act
with such purpose in view have re-
course to the courts
The anti-liquor forces had requested
the closing of twenty-one saloons and
five wholesale houses on the ground
that they are located within 400 feet
of school or place of religious wor-
ship: sfty-seven barrooms and twenty
seven wholesale establishments on the
ground that they are located in resi-
dental or non-business sections. and

LONDON March 23.-The latest au-
thentic information from the Darda-
nelles sets forth positively that only
secondary defenses of the straits have
suffered from the bombardment of the
allied fleet; the other forts in the mar
rows are intact.
This report finds confirmation in the
present status Of the diplomatic situa-
tion in the near east, which indicates
that the Balkan states are no nearer
Intervention in the quarrel than they
were when the batt1eships of the allies
first appeared off the Dardanelles.
Gale Prevents Action.
A gale blew through the Dardanelles $
straits yesterday and the allied war
ships did not leave their anchorage,
says dispa tch from Athens. The mo-
rale of the crews on the vessels Of the
Franco-British fleet is said to be eX-
cellent notwithstanding their losses,
and they are eager to get into action.
1T seems certain that forts Chanak
kalessi. Hamidieh and kilfd Bahr still
are capable OF offering a stubborn re-
sistance. A number of Turkish field
straits and German howitzers have been
mounted on rails, SO they can be moved
quickly to threatened points. This is sup
posed to explain the firing from certain
forts such as kumkale, which were sup
posed to have been destroyed.
Engage in Mine Sweeping.
DARDANELLES. Tuesday. March 16.
via London. March a3.-The warships of
the allied feet have made no attempt to
reduce the Turkish defenses about Kilid
Bahr and Chanak kalessi since March I.
Instead they have been endeavoring to
sweep the waters of the straits for mines.
The correspondent Of the Associated Press
made a personal inspection of the ef-
fects of the bomba rdment of March and
I on the Turkish positions at kilid Bahr
and kale Suitanie. Although the fire
from the allied warships was accurate
the Turks suffered virtually no losses in
the Kiiid Bahr works.
Hundreds of Shells Hurled.
At Fort Hamidieh the works were
slightly damaged and one man was
wounded. There was but one casualty
in Fort Dardanus. A total of 300 heavy
and 700 light shells was hurled at
this position and only one man was
killed The works were virtually un-
damaged. In every case the damage
wrought by shell fire on the shore forts
was astonishingly small. The most
noticeable results of this fire were
small funnel shap ped holes where shells
had struck in soft ground.
Since March a fleet of the allies
has remained inactive outside OF the
straits. No progress has been made
since the Kun kaleh and Sedd-E FL
Bahr forts were silenced by cross
