Drug Ring Theory Persists.

Unless definite proof can be found

What this line Of inquiry hud to

It is understood that District
Attorney Woolwine, wnIle doubling

credence to the theory that a drug
ring was mixed up In the Taylor
murder, largely as a result Of data
turned over to him by Assistant u.

WASHINGTON, March ga solution
of the Atlantic cable question which for
more than 4 year had perplexed the inter-
national conference dealing with the al
location Of former German cables, has
been found it was learned today.
This plan probably Will be presented
to the conference within the next two
OK three days. 1t contemplates the con-
struction by italy from Rome or Genoa
through the Mediterranean and connect
ing with the transatlantic lines at the
Azores
No provision is contained in - pro-
posal for turning over to Italy the brest-
Azores New York cable now operated by
France, the consensus Of opinion being,
under the present assignment of lines
between the Azores and New York, there
are ample facilities for all business.
OTHER NATIONS
TO HELP PAY.
a substantial part of the cost Of the
new Mediterranean cable would be paid
for by the nations other than Italy which
have an interest in the former cables.
The remaining share Of the cost would
be borne by italy, the amount being paid
over a considerable period Of time, as
the cable earned profits from the traffic
carried.
The scheme regarded as most feasible
Is that the funds for the initial in
staIIment to be paid TO the company con-
structing the Mediterranean cable should
be taken from the earnings Of all the
former German cables, which under the
mOdus vivendi, agreed to by the powers
more than a year ago are being operated
for joint account.
While this plan has not yet been for
mally accepted by the powers, careful ex-
animation of the contention by all con-
Cerned, has convinced those most con-
cerned with the problem, it meets all diff
fculties and it is believed the plan VIII
be adopted.
Acceptance by Italy of this would re-
move her objection to the agreement ar
rived at during the arms conference as
to the ALLEGATION Of the German cables
in the Pacific, the reservation she then
registered being based on direct COM
nfunication between Rome and New York.
WILL CONSTRUCT
FEEDER LINES.
On completion Of the cable, Italy ex-
poets to construct a system Of feeder
lines to various feeder lines in the Medi-
terranean. In view Of the growing COM
mercial interests Of the United States in
the Near East, such communication IS
expected to prove Of immense value to
the United States.
Direct communication between New
York and Germany for which this Gov
eminent had contended would be afforded
by the two German cables now being
contracted for by 4 private corporation.
The North Atlantic cable, from Pen
i r..
operated by Great Britain for traffic from
England to Vancouver and Australia. The
operation OF this cable has proved rather
expensive, there having been several bad
breaks which were difficult to the British
TO repair.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Preliminary
figures for February indicate that the
voyage expenses Of Shipping Boards
vessels IN ths hands OF managing OPP
orators show a slight balance on the right
Size Of the ledger for the first time.
These figures also show that the man
aging operators took in approximately
S6,50OOOO during February, and paid out
about SO, 400. 0OO This does not mean that
TIE ships were operated at a clear profit,
since other expenses attach which are
not chargeabIe to voyage operations. They
do show, however, that instead Of los
ing a million or more on voyage opera
lions IN February, a small balance was
shown on the other side.
In July OF last year the loss from
voyage operations was 81. S96, 900. In De-
cember it was S1,249,OOO. In January
the loss was cut TO 1884, 900. so that the
favorable balance in February really rep
resents a change for the better Of more
than 100000.
