BUFORD LEAVES
 WITH REDS FOR
 UNKNOn'N PORT
Has Been at Kiel Several Days Undergoing Repairs
 to Her Boilers

Kie1, Jan. 13-The United States army transport Buford, carrying the party of undesirable aliens deported from the United States, left Kiel for an unnamed Russian port at o'clock this evening.
 Advices from Kie1 received Tues day night said that the Buford, which had been undergoing repairs to her boilers for several days, would leave for a Baltic port, the identity of which was not made known. Ice conditions would appear to make it impossible for the Buford to pene- trate the Gulf of Finland far enough to touch Russian soviet territory. A Helsin gfors dispatch received Tuesday declared the Buford would touch at Hango, on the southern Finnish coast, landing her 249 passengers there the party proceeding by rail to the Rus sian frontier, a twelve hour jour- ney.

LITTLE CHANCE 10 GET LIQUOR FOR SICK FOLKS So Many Restrictions That Druggists Will Not
 Handle It

Although the 18th Amendment al- lows a doctor to prescribe whiskey for a patient when he. is of the opin- ion that it is necessary, the nkeH- hood of such a patient obtaining H. quor in this city after the 18th is very problematical.
 So many restrictions have been placed on the sale by druggists of the forbidden drink that most of the prominent druggists have announce ed that they will not handle it in the future.
 The State Association of Druggists will hold a meeting at Waterbury on Jan. 18th, when it is believed action will be taken forbidding any of the members of the Association from dealing in intoxicating liquors of any kind.
 Very few of the druggists in this city have gone to the trouble and ex- pense of taking out a druggists li- cense, claiming that the restrictions and requirements Of the act are SC stringent that it would be impossible to comply with them.
 Prominent physicians today stated that no action had been taken by the Medical Association in the matter but they believed that very few p11y- sicians would prescribe any tntoxi- eating liquor in the future on accoun. of the difficulty of keeping the ac-

Over 400 Persons GO
 Down IIl French Ship ONE OF GREATEST MARINE TRAGEDIES OF MODERN TIMES ENACTED OFF COAST
 OF FRANCE ON SUNDAY.

La. Rochelle, France, Jan. 14.---More than 40 persons are believed to have lost their lives in the wreck of the steamer Afrique on t Roche Bonne shoal, Bay of Biscay. Only 57 sur vivors are known to have been, landed.
 Hope for the rest of the passengers and crew faded during the past night as hour after hour passed without cheering tidings, and 72 hours after the vessel foundered many feared one of the greatest marine tragedies of mod ern times was enacted off the coast before dawn Sunday morning.
 Sailors and French colonial soldiers are the only persons from the ship known to have reached land safely.
 ''It was impossible to approach the "Afrique," said Captain Jouan of the steamer Ceylan, which was summoned to the scene of the wreck by wire to rescue those on board the doomed vessel. '1 remained in wireless com munication with the ship, however, and received the following message: T am drifting and I fear the ship will go ashore.' Later one message came saying: T am steering for light
 Then came a final message: We are sinking That is all I know about the loss of the Afrique.''
 Some of the rescued sailors declared that when, with great difficulty, the boats were swung out, passengers were afraid to jump for them, seeing they were already half full of water. Paris, Jan. 14-It was announced at the offices of the company owning i the steamer Afrique that the bodies i of 12 persons from the foundered ves- sel had been washed ashore at Stables 1 ID'Olonne.

Inability of Miners to Get Regular Work
 Causes Demand.
WANT 30 HOURS
 OF STEADY WORK

Washington, Jan. 14-Miners continued today their argu- ments for wage advances and shorter hours before the Pres ident's coal commission adjust ing the causes of the recent strike.
 'It is the inability of the miners to get regular work that makes them require sixty per cent increase in wages" said John Moore, president of the Ohio district. No coal miner can tell whether the mine is going to work the next day or not"
 John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, gave out a statement reiterating that the miners demand for a 30 hour week only asked assurance that they will have, not less than 30 hours of steady work each week in the year."
 ''The public has the wrong impress sion on that subject Lewis said, ''be- cause they were led to believe that the miners were opposed tosworking more than 20 hours a week. The fact is the coal miner cannot earn a living for the whole year by working only a part of the time, no matter how many hours a day he may work. But if he can be assured of net less than 30 hours a week throughout the year at 8 reasonable and fair wage he can make a living for himself and his family"
 Lewis said the -1,toer-s could produce all the coal the country needed on 6 30 hour week basis.

ARE
 NOT WORRYING
 OVER OUTCOME
No Concrete Evidence Was Offered Against Zone
 System.

That the Connecticut company of f1cia1s are not Respondent over the ultimate fate of the zone system is seen by a statement made this morn ing by Manager Joseph S. Goodwin, of the company here, when he said that not a solitary piece of concerto evidence gainst the system was forth coming at the hearing yesterday.
 Manager Goodwin appeared very optimistic about the decision of the company despite Mayor Wilson's recommendation of five-cent fare and aid from the state for the non paying lines of the company. It ap- pears to be their opinion that no equitable substitute for the zone sys- tenn was suggested and they seem to believe that until such a course Is taken the commission cannot order the system stopped.
