NEW DRIVE ON +
j. FOR DISPOSAL
Of WOOD SHIPS
Shipping Board Still Has Hopes
Of Selling Vessels to
" Public.
International News Service.

Failing once more to dispose of the
famous wartime fleet OF wooden ships
tied UP In American ports, the Ship
ping Board will at once start a new
drive to secure q, favorable sale for
them. It was announced today.
The first step will be to order a new
survey to be made OF the entire sit.
uation. This is expected to. occupy
several weeks. and no further efforts
will be made to let the ships go until
that 10 completed. %" ,,t,.'..,.
The board expects to clear itself Of
the complications, resulting from the
recent bidding, during which only one
bid was regarded as anywhere near
satisfactory These bidders, are now
said TO be planning legal action to en-.
force their view of the contracts.
The fleet Is still an expensive prop
osition, but officials of the board stated
that, they have greatly cut down the
expenses involved in maintaining the
ships. and expect to hold them until
more satisfactory negotiations for
their disposal can be made. 1t Is
stated that number Of much more
acceptable bids have been made since
the recent ones, and officials are en-
,couraged to believe from this that they
can yet realize a good sale.

NEW, YORK. Sept. 3o.-Baldhead.
ed men have only themselves to blame,
according to official records of the
Federal Bureau of Prohibition En-
forcement. E., c. Yellowley. assistant
director, gave his word yesterday that
more hair tonic has been manufac'
tured in the last six months than in
the history of the industry. The rea.
son the tonic has not made any in
roads on the 'baldheaded rows" at
the various "Follies" shows Is because
II has all disappeared down the main
matches Of humanity, and very little,
II any rubbed on the human domes.
Yellowley called attention to the ar
rest of ten wholesale druggists who
he charged had converted grain alco-
hol-for commercial pufposes-into
bootleg channels. and he had hardly
done speaking before Hugh McQuil-
Ian added two arrests, making an even

ley, 1.-The alleged druggists have been
making various kinds OF medicinal
wines, which find ready sale on the
bootleg market. These are only mildly
camouflaged with medicinal herbs and
are designed more for beverage than
for medicinal purposes"
How about the various muscle.rubs

asked.
II don't know" he replied. II never
drank any"
He said he had a list Of reputable
drug concerns which had been years
In business and had an established

concerns" he said. They are honest
and II they wanted hundreds or bar
rels of alcohol they could have it,
because we know that they would use
1t for legitimate purposes"

Two More Druggists Held.
New arrests among the druggists
were Frank Avignone, Of L. e. Witter
& Co., 500 West Broadway, and John
Govini, Of the drug company. A sur
prise developed when II was found that
certain forged whiskey releases from
warehouses had been verified by let
ter from the office of the prohibition
bureau. Efforts were being made
yesterday to learn who this malefac-
tor within the service might be. His
arrest Is expected soon.
Permit blanks used by the forgers
disappeared mysteriously from the
prohibition offices, according to Nc
Quillan. The office force was working
on what are known as the "131 series"
and the stolen permits were OF the
""247 SERIES" series which would not
have been reached naturally for sew
eral weeks or months.
The charges against the two men
arrested in aiding and abetting in the
violation Of section Of Federal law
which refers to stealing Government
papers, and Of aiding and abetting in
the violation Of another section which
refers to fraudulently uttering Gov
eminent papers. Both men were ar
raigned before Commissioner Hitch
cock and held in $4,000 bail. They
had previously been arraigned and
held in $4,000 bail on charges Of violat.
ing the Volstead, law.
