JUDGEMENT IF
 HARBIN COURT
 HOUSES M|RTH
General Laughs at Charge of Theft by Russian Officials;
 $478,576 Is Involved

NEW YORK, Apr. z. - General Gregorieff Semenoff. Ataman or chieftain of ,Cossacks, enjoyed hear ty laugh today--the first since the sheriff of New York county surprised him with an order of arrest last night at the expense of the courts of liar bin, Manchuria.
 The terror of Red battalions," as he likes to be called, apparently thinks no more of the Harbin courts which are said to have returned a judgment of $47S,578 against him, than he does of Nicolai Lenine.
 'I know nothing of this Youroveta Home and Foreign Trading Company which charges that stole their goods at Chita. in Trans-Baikala, and that they obtained judgment against . me in Harbin," he said today.
 "The courts in Harbin? l cannot believe you are serious," he said to his attorney-then threw back his head and laughed long and loud.
 These Harbin courts-they are like the wind-here now, and gone tomorrow" and he snapped his fin gers.
 "Who is Youroveta?" he asked. "I never heard of him. Where is the proof that I stole these goods at Chita?"
 Thus General Semenoff defended himself in an interview at the offices of his attorney.
 Madame Semenoff, formerly Helen Viktorovna, reputed cousin of former Ezar Nicholas, testified that she and the general were married in August 1920.
 When they left Vancouver. Mrs.

possibilities of opening new era in the power field.
 Another phase of the power situa- tion in this country said to have been discussed at the cabinet meeting was the possibility of developing hydro electric power along the Colorado river and other waters of the west, as we'll as harnessing water power from Niagara to Great Falls, above Washington.
 The Atlantic seaboard super-power project, according to engineers, would save 50,000,000 tons of coal annually, snd in addition stabilize the coal tn- dustry by providing regular employ ment at the coal mines.
 Under the scheme worked out, all industries in the "super-power" zone on the Atlantic seaboard, described in the report as "the finishing shop of American industry" all industries railroads and other consumers of cleo tricity would be supplied by a unified power system.

BAR CANAL ZONE
 T0 DRY AGENTS
Would Permit Governor to Administer Law Without
 Haynes Assistance

WASHINGTON, Apr. 7.-secretary Weeks was understood tonight to have requested Commissioner Haynes to keep federal prohibition agents out of the Panama Canal Zone, for a time, at least, and allow Governor Morrow to continue the administra- ton of the national dry law there without assistance from other depart ments.
 Appointment of John T. Barrett, formerly of Revere, Mass, but now in the Canal Zone, as federal prohi- bition director for the zone, was an. nounced recently by prohibition head quarters. but it was said tonight that the commission had not as yet actu' ally gone forward.
 Haynes was understood to have ac- ceded to the war secretary's request. and 1t was said at the bureau that the installment of Barrett and force of prohibition agents in the Canal Zone would be held up until the mat ter could be taken up between the two branches of the government.
 Application of the national prohi- bition law to the Canal Zone is pro vided by the Willis-Campbell act, which was enacted few months ago, but enforcement agents under prohibit tion headquarters have not as yet been stationed there.

SUBSIDY ONLY
 ALT TERNATVE TO JONES ACT President Vetoed Abrogation of Trade Treaties and
 Forced Present Bill MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE Lasker Predicts That in Ten Years Indirect Aids Will
 Maintain Marine
MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE

WASHINGTON, Apr. 7.--The most economical way to build up an Amer ican merchant marine would be to put into effect Section 34 Of the Jones act, which provides preferen- tial tariff duties to inure to goods imported in American bottoms, Chair man Lasker of the shipping board, declared today at the joint congress sional hearings on the administra- ton ship subsidy bill.
 Forced to turn to an alternative by the refusal of Presidents Wilson and Harding to abrogate portions of com mercial treaties with certain foreign nations, which prohibit the United States government from giving Amer ican ships preferential treatment as against foreign vessels, Lasker said, shipping officials with presidential approval had worked out the subsidy program now pending before the sen. ate commerce and house merchant marine committees.
 Tt will be more expensive" he added, but it is the only thing we could do."
 The shipping board head pointed out that thea discriminatory duties proposed in Section 34, would have inured to the benefit of shippers and not to that of ship owners. Such aid. however, would have provided full cargoes, insuring expansion of the American merchant marine, he said.
 Discussing direct aid provisions of the subsidy bill, Lasker predicted that in 10 years indirect aids would be sufficient for maintenance of the merchant marine. and that the gov ernment would no longer be required to pay direct aid He added that it was for this reason that he favored 10 year contracts with ship owners instead of 15 year. agreements, which, he said, some operators desired.

NEW YORK, Apr. 7.-The anthra- cite miners and operators sub-com- mittee on wage contract negotiations of union leaders in support of their 19 demands as basis for settlement of the present strike, took a recess to- night to permit the operators to pre- pare their side of the case.
 After listening to what the miners had to say, our attitude remains un- changed" said s. D. Warriner, presi- dent of the Lehigh Coal &- Naviga- tion company, and spokeman for the operators.
 "We still maintain the view ex- ppressed in our reply to the 19 de mands when they were first submit ted" he said. We believe that there must be a reduction in the price of anthracite coal to prevent destruction of the market, and we believe a cor responding reduction must come in the wages of the miners"
