in discussing the situation yesterday
and would only say that $3.50 bottles
were involved and that the whisky
formed part of bonded shipment on a
through bill of lading from Quebec to
Havana. From another source, how
ever, it was learned that the barrels
left st. Johns Park yards at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning on three trucks which
would ordinarily have made the trip
to the pier in twenty-five minutes. It
was five hours before they reached their
destination, and the government, it is
understood, is working on the theory
that much can happen III five hours.
No suspicion was aroused by the
delay at the time, foc the company
officials understood that an armed
guard had been placed OH each of the
three trucks by order of Federal Pro-
hibition Director Ralph A. Day. They
signed for the liquor without question
and the work Of loading it aboard the
steamer began at once. More than $50
barrels were already in the hold when
the alleged substitution was discov-
cred. On Wednesday the entire ship
ment was hauled out to the pier and
opened.
When it was discovered that the
barrels contained nothing but soda
valued at s126 the company cancelled
the consignment order pending instruc-
tions from the customs authorities.
These have not yet been received, and
the barrels were still on the pier when
the Mexico sailed for Havana yester-
dav.

Presto! LIS Barrels of Whisky
Become Strawberry Soda Wafer

Late Tuesday afternoon. as the last
batch of shipment of IT'S barrels OF
1902 bonded Haig & Haig whisky
swung up from Pier 13, East River, to
the hold of che Ward liner Mexico, one
barrel slipped from the hoist bag and
shot downward to the dock. There was
crash as the slaves parted and long
shoremen rushed up to save what they
could of the wreckage.
Company officials began figuring who
would have to pay for the damage.
Their worries were short-iived, for they
found that the liquid which trickled
out and formed little pools on the pier,
instead of being whisky which would
bootleg at S25 a bottle, was nothing
but strawberry soda of the cheapest
kind, such as is retailed on the lower
East Side at cents bottle.
An investigation was started at once
by the customs authorities, for the
government valuation on the shipment
was $4,000 Strawberry soda was
found to have been substituted for the
whisky in each of the 175 barrels, and
evidence was collected indicating that
the change had been made while the
liquor was on its way from the ST.
Johns Park freight yards to the dock
on Tuesday Yesterday three enforce
ment agents were reported suspended
on suspicion of completely in one of
the biggest switch games worked since
the Volstead act was passed. but the

edge of the case.

Sing Sing Bars Bandits
All Ready to Serve Time
Convicted Trio Told TO Return
After They Have Testified
Against Supposed ''Pai"

Sing Sing prison attendants reported
yesterday that Frank Tradella, Alex
ander Petrulo and Salvatore Parfume,
three offenders who arrived there with
commitment papers, were refused ad-
1nittance to the prison. They were
barred at the request Of Sheriff George
Werner, who sent his deputies with
them.
Sheriff Werner was informed, after
the trio started from White Plains for
the prison to begin long sentences for
robberies in Yonkers,, that their testi-
mony was needed against Anthony
Moltoro, an alleged accomplice, of 1922
Fifty eighth Street, Brooklyn. Word
was telephoned to the prison to head
off the party and not let the three in
side the gates, for once locked up a
habeas corpus writ would be necessary
to get them out again. Roy Hill, re-
ceiving clerk of Sing Sing, told the
prisoners that they could not come in.
They were astonished until the deputy
sheriffs learned why and told them
All the three offenders got was lin
tied perspective Of their stopping place
They are back in the White Plains Jail
now and will not go to Sing Sing for
several days.

Patrick Connors was shot four times
and seriously wounded last night by a
man he met in Central Park West near
Eighty-ffth Street. His assailant es-
capped, although pursued by a crowd
Connors is at Reconstruction Hospital
The shooting occurred about 8 O'Clock
and threw crowded Central Park Yves,
into confusion.
Connors was a mild-mannered young
bookkeeper and had been employed BY
B. Altman e. Co. since his arrival ir
this country from ireland about 6
year ago. In Ireland, however it wa
rumored he had been a member of the
volunteer army and had been i'm
prjsoned by the British authorities
His brother, Michael, said he knew
nothing of this.
Connors is twenty-six years old and
lives with his parents at 483 Columbus
Avenue. He told them last night he
was going for a walk. He was quiet
man, they said, and never mixed with a
rough crowd

Benches along the wall of the park
were occupied by numerous couples
and children were playing in the dusk
in the park when Connors strolled up
the east side of Central Park West
He was between Eighty fourth and
Eighty fifth streets and had Just
passed a woman when he met the gun
man who was hunting him. The woman
was only five or six feet behind Con-
nors and saw him hesitate for sec
ond as though seeking to avoid the
meeting. 1t was too late, however, for
the man had recognized him.
Owe got you now," the woman heard
the gunman cry.
At the same moment revolver
flashed in his hand He fired almost as
he drew the weapon and the woman
heard the thud as the bullet struck
home. Connors turned and ran. A
car was going slowly down Central
Park West and Connors sprinted in
front of it, wavering a bit as he ran.
Shoots PROSTATE Victim
His assalant darted around the
other end of the car and opened fire
again to the CONSERVATION of passen-
gers, who rose from their seats and
strove to get out. Through the swiftly
moving traffic stream of Central Park
West the wounded man ran, his pur-
suer gaining with every stride and fir

Held as Serious Setback
Some Hope From Russia
Meeting So Far Considered
Failure Both Polifi-

By Carter Field

W WASHINGTON, April 13.-Hope that
successful solution of Europe's prob
lens will be worked out at the Genoa
conference virtually has been aban-
doned by the Administration. High of
flcials to-day in commenting on the
news from Italy made this very clear
and also expressed qualification tFrat
President Harding had decided against
this country taking part in the con-
ference.
In the Hughes note declining the
invitation for this country to partici-
pate it was set forth that the pro-
posed conference would be obviously
political, and not economic This ex-
preston nas, in the opinion of the
Administration, been more than JUST
fed. The more serious phase of the
situation, however, is that apparently
the conference, according to the best
official and unofficial information OBJ
tainable here as to its activities, is not
progressing in happy fashion even
along political lines, much less eco
nomc.
1t had been hoped very strongly by
President Harding and his advisers
that the accomplishments of the Genoa
conference would remove many of Eu-
ropes present difficulties-co conditions
which unless remedied make the eco
nomic rehabilitation of the Continental
countries well nigh impossible 1t had
been hoped also by the President that
following the removal of these eco
nomic millstones from the necks of
the European taxpayers the way
would be prepared for a real economic
conference in Europe, in which this
country could take part with some hope
for successful outcome.
France Blocks Cut in Armies
The action of France in refusing to
permit the question Of land arma-
ment reductions to be considered has
blocked what is regarded by most of
the Presidents advisers as the most
necessary reform of all that have been
discussed. Balanced budgets" for the
European countries, the President be-
lieves, are' impossible of achievement
unless the dead weight of maintaining
the present huge European armies is
removed. Lloyd Georges hope, as ex-
pressed in the House of Commons. was
that Soviet Russia could be induced
to cut her army in half, and that in
turn the removal of this menace would
permit Poland, Rumania and other
countries bordering on Russia to re-
duce theirs.
There was no stressing of what
Lloyd George hoped for as to the
French army, but to the French the
British desire on this was unmistak-
able Apparently they saw the whole
thing as a maneuver to weaken their

tins.
Officials of the American Relief Ad-
ministration, at AZ Broadway. could
not understand last night the reason
for the reported uprisings in the Volga
region. They said that the corn as
signed to that district had only re-
Gently been distributed and that fam
inc should not De intense.
No report had been received from
their representatives in the affected
district, and the officials were unable
to add or to detract from the story.
They said however, that the drivers
were not Americans. The transporta :
tion is done by Russians, and the
Americans are used in executive ca
pacites.
