FIRST DEMANDS
MADE ON PANAMA
Must Meet Terms of White Award
Text of Communication For
warded BY Secretary Hughes
Made Public at Washington

Washington, March 17.-Firm in
sistance that Panama Immediately
comply with The provisions of the
White arbitral award in settling its
boundary disputes with Costa Rica
was made by the United States in
the note dispatched to Panama by
Secretary Hughes early this week,
the text Of which was made public
here to day.
Provisions of the treaty under
which Panama and Costa Rica
agreed to submit to the arbitration
of Chief Justice White their dis,
puted boundary on the Atlantic
side of the Cordilleras were cited by
this government in support of its
contention that the jurisdiction OF
the arbiter had. not been exceeded
in the award as claimed by Panams
in its recent note to the state de-
parment.
The United States government
further insisted upon the obser.
vance by Panama Of the previous
award on tae Pacific side made BY
President Lc'ubet of the French re-
public in 1900 and which it declared
was "equivocally accepted" by b,tt
Panama and Costa Rica in the Por.
ras-Anderson treaty of 1910, the
same convention in which the Allan,
tic boundary was submitted to re.
arbitration by the American CHIEF
justice.
Notwithstanding this fact" the
note stated "the government OF
Panama apparently has taken nc
steps to fulfill its obligations to re.
cognize the territory on the Costa
Rican side of that line as subject to
the jurisdiction of the government
of Costa Rica but has. continued to
exercise jurisdiction over the terri.
tory beyond that line until the pres
ent time"
In order that the boundary line
laid down by Chief Justice White
may be defined physically and in
a permanent manner in accordance
with the findings of the award" the
American government urged that
Panama arrange with Costa Rica
without delay for the appointment
of a commission of engineers to
carry out This work, as provided for
by the terms of Article VII of the
Porras-Andersou treaty"

BROTHER Of BAR
MUST PASS SOON
WHOLESALE LIQUOR ESTAB-
'LIsHMENTS MUST GO is OR.
DER FROM KRAMER-AFTER
MAY IS DOORS WILL BE CLOS.
ED, ACCORDING TO PROHIBI.
TION COMMISSIONER

Washington, March l1-ine "nole
sale liquor establishment, brother of
the bar, will be put to death May Is
under sentence pronounced today by
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer.
Although an opinion rendered by At
torney General Palmer last Decem'
Der said the wholesaler had no legal
right to continue in business, internal
revenue and prohibition officials de-
cided to grant some time in which
he could unload stocks without too
heavy monetary loss. But Mr..
Kramer's announcement today made
it clear there would be no further
extension of time and that execution
of the sentence would be carried out.
Mr.. Kramer, however, opened the
way for the retail druggist to OBJ
tain supplies for prescriptions, re-
moving the ban on withdrawals from
bonded warehouses. For several
months such warehouse doors have
been closed. The order today makes
it possible for the retail druggist to
transact direct with the bonded ware
houses. Wholesale druggists will be
taken care of later Mr.. Kramer in
dicated by granting them similar
privileges. ''.s
~ Dealings between retailer druggists
and bond warehouses later will be
limited by regulation which officials
declared would be drastic enough to
satisfy the most ardent dry advocate.
They must be based, however, it was
added in Mr.. Palmer's decision. It
is planned to put them in effect about
the time the wholesale houses go out
of existence.
So far as the wholesaler is con-
eerned, Mr.. Kramer said his one task
now is to get rid of the stocks on
hand. He will not be allowed to in
crease his present holdings but there
are no strings tied to him in selling
to druggists, either wholesale or re-
tail before March Is. Officials an
nounced no figures concerning the
amount of liquor held by the whole
salers but said they believed the
stocks largely would be disposed of
before the doors are closed finally.
Prohibition officials declined to
comment on the statement in Phila-
delphia today of Former Attorney
General Palmer who said his recent
ruling that physicians may pre-
scribe beer might mean that beer
could be sold over soda fountain
counters. Regulations carrying out
Mr.. Palmer's opinion, handed down
the day he retired from Office, will
be left to the next commissioner of
internal revenue, said Commissioner
Williams today.
The revenue and prohibition bu-
reaus have been besieged since the
Palmer opinion was made public,
both vets and drys urging their
sides for consideration of the off,
cials in drafting thsf fEegulations.
The treasury department was re-
qaested today by DR.. Wilbur F..
Kraft, superintendent of the intern
al reform bureau, to ask the attor-
ney to review the Palmer opinion be-
fore any regulations were issued.

ganized international Acceptance Bank,
Inc, says Of the gold movement:
with gold flowing our way, having
resulted in an unprecedented accumula-
ton of gold in our country, and with the
increasing strength of the federal reserve
system, it would be plainly up to the
United States not to hoard its vast bank
ing strength, but to make it available for
other countries for the purpose of once
more starting the wheels of commerce go
ing.
America having become the gold pivot
of the world. countries with strongly tluc-
tuating exchanges. in order to do q world
trade. would have to lean heavily on
American shOrt-term credits. American
banks. in granting these credits. could well
take upon their shoulders a burden
amounting to a billion dollars or more and,
to that extent, relieve Europe.
This would be one of the many meas
urps that the United States would have
to take in order to bridge the gap now
existing between the dollar and other cur
rencics. but on a very comprehensive scale
it could safely be undertaken only when
political and economic peace would have
been re-cstabiShed in Europe

Gold Easiest Medium for Paying Foreign
Debts-European Countries Send the
MOst-SOme Russian Gold Comes from
Sweden and Siberia.
NEW YORK, May "a veritable
flood of gold is sweeping over the shores OF
the United States. Already the precious
metal in the country has attained the I'M
precedented amount of $3001, 4S7,915 and
Vet the tide is rising.
Financiers attribute this to the fact
that the United States is world one
creditor nation" and for the equally i'm
portant reason that the other nations OF
the world find it well nigh impossible to
transact business with this country. by
reason of their own deprecated currency:
The precious metal is coming from all
quarters of the globe but the European
countries. more particularly Great Brit
ain and France. as well as the Scandlna-
Wan nations, are paying heaviest toll.
Much Pre-war Gold.
Much of the gold received from England
represents shipments from South Africa
to London, while the French ana othet
consignments bark back to the days or the
war and in some instances to much longer
periods.
For example Sweden is sending gold
received from Germany for war supplies :;
also bar gold or bullion which many be
lieve to be of Russian origin. by way OF
the Pacific have come occasional snip
ments Of gold from Siberia where they
formed part of General kolchaks war
chest.
South America and Central America
also are making involuntary contributions
to this country's vast holdings of the vel
low metal. mainly because unsettled eco
monte conditions in Latin America Vlr-
tualIy preclude any other form OF pay
ment to this country.
The local assay office, new structure
whose modern equipment includes huge
vaults five floors below the street level,
now holds upward of S1OOO,OOO.OOO,
fully One-third of which has come from
foreign countries.
The machinery of the assay office here
is working at high pressure IN an enort
to reduce and refine the foreign bullion
and coin. Reports that large quantities OF
the gold are being shipped to the Philadel-
phia mint lack official confirmation.
Gold Comes for Premium.
Commenting on this inflow. which some
bankers have viewed with apprehension.
George f. Roberts, a vicepresident of the
National City bank and for years director
of the United States mint is quoted as
saying:
1T is natural that the people OF Europe
should be sending us their gold. Every
body. everywhere owes us money. The
easiest way for them to pay, if they can,
is in gold.'
Pointing to the reduced international
value of the British bank note, French and
Belgian francs, the italian Ira and the
Shrinkage almost to the vanishing point
of German marks and Austrian krOnen,
Mr.. Roberts adds:
80 long as the premium on the gold
dollar exists and is general, gold will prob
ably continue to flow here in greater or
less quantities. 1t seems incredible, how
ever, that it can long continue at the pres
ent rate

LIQUOR BEHIND PANELS.
Large Quantity Found in StaterOOm
Walls on Steamer.

NEW YORK. May 3.-Another big
haul of contraband liquor and merchan-

Yesterday by customs inspectors on the

ness West Indies line.
More than 700 bottles of liquor, mer-
chandiSe and reviewers were found be

cral bottles were found.
Searching other cabins. the paneAing
in all but one was found to be screwed in
and that the screws were loose. Liquor
was found behind each room. The in
spectOrs' axes and chiselS caused thOus-
ands of dollars worth of damage
throughout the ship.

also found two negro stowaways.
