Coast Men Doubt POaUer
Over Foreign Vessels
er~cial Dtspaton to The 7rsonne

SAN FRAN CISCO, Oct. 7.--~San Fran
cisco men prominently identified with
the shipping interests OF the Pacific
Coast are not inclined to take seriously
that provision Of the Daugherty ruling
regarding the carrying Of intoxicating
liquors on foreign bottoms. They be-
lieve that as the result Of protest on
the part of foreign nations the drastic
regulation wwill resolve into more
drastic enforcement of existing regu-
lations.
Concerning the effect on the Ameri
can merchant marine these same men
were less willing to express an opinion.
They do not question the legality of
the ruling in this connection, but say
that the full effect cannot be estimated
until 1t is known whether or not the
ruling with regard to foreign bottoms
is enforced.
In general the opinion prevails that
SO far as freight carriers solely are
concerned there will be little effect,
but with the passenger carriers, which
also carry freight, fear is felt that
where the distance from an American
city to one in Canada or British Co
lumbia, on this coast, is not too great
there will be great diversion of pas
senger traffic. 1t is believed that there
will be no great diversion of American
bottoms to a foreign flag, as it is
pointed out the foreign bottoms sailing
from their home ports have not suffi-
cient business now to tax their ca
pacity and that competition based
solely on the expectation Of wet pas
sengers would be ruinous to these en-
terng a new field.
Discussing the situation Captain
Robert Dollar, leading ship owner, had
this to say:
"This, it would seem to me, is an
other case of the Federal government
making rulings that it cannot enforce.
This one, aside from being too drastic
to be practicable, will undoubtedly lead
to international complications"
'It seems to be a growing American
nationak trait t. go to non-enforceable
extremes. There is common sense in
ruling that foreign ship must seal it's
liquor supply when entering the three
inile limit, because foreign shipping
must live up to local laws, but for the
United States to dictate to another
country what it may carry and what it
may not carry on its ships touching at
our ports is, in my opinion, something
that no nation has the right to do. A
nation car naturally dictate what may
or may not be landed on its shores or
distributed in it's waters, but to go to
the extreme contemplated in this re-
cent ruling, if the. facts are as given
me, is gravely exceeding governmental
authority, it seems to me-"

s. Sumner, its secretary In letter
sent yesterday, TO George Creel,. the
chairman Of the joint committee for
the promotion and protection of art
and literature. Peter J. Brady on
behalf of the printers, protests against
any compromise with Mr.. Sumner, and
objects to conferences between the
literature committee and the vice So
ciety's official.
Brady's letter says: 1--WE are opposed
to these conferences. In fact, we OBJ
ject to any agreement being made with
Mr.. Sumner or any representative of
his society. We feel that such con-
ferences or agreements car never come
to any good purpose, but will result in
greater restriction Of the very things
which this joint committee was created
to protect-free expression of opinion,
and the unhampered development of
art and literature.
There are enough laws now on our
statute books to protect the morals Of
our people. and they can easily, and
have been easily, invoked by public Of
ficials whenever it is deemed necessary
with a regularly constituted jury Sc
lected from the people themselves to
render verdict"
New-York tribune., 1922-10-08

States District Attorney John Holley
Clark jr.
The complaint charges Birnbaun1
with the violation of two sections Of
the United States revised statutes. The
violations were committed, it is
charged, ON May %, 1922, when Birn-
baum is charged to have fraudulently
removed from pubic warehouse 2sb
cases of champagne and 1900 cases of
whisky, and on October 6, when he CON
distilled spirits on which the govern
ment tax had not been paid and which
had been removed to place other
than a bonded warehouse.
Birnbaum was arraigned Immediately
before United States Commissioner
Samuel Hitchcock and his bond was
fixed at $4,000. He furnished the
bond and was released.
Major Clark said that the informa-
tion in the case was obtained by an
examination Of the records of the Col
lector of Customs OF the Port of New
York and by Statements of persons
whose nBmes are withheld in the best
interests of the government"
A number of persons connected with
the Standard Carpet Company's inter
ests, which include the carpet ware
house and garage next door, were
summoned before Colonel Hayward and
examined. Among these witnesses
was Miss Nellie Burke, pretty young
woman, who the government agents
charge is stockholder in the enter
prise. She has acted as secretary of
the company, it is charged. Samuel
Wise, bookkeeper; Mamie and Max
Bohen, night watchmen, and William
Daily, whose connections with the con-
Germ does not appear clearly, were also
questioned.
Further seizures were made at the
carpet compsny's plant yesterday, when
Internal Revenue Collector Frank J.
Bowers ordered the seizure of the
company's stock of carpets valued at
$4,000 Personal property found on
the premises also was seized. 1t was
charged the carpet business was a
blind" to the liquor business alleged
to have been carried on by the con
cern, and that the non-payment of spe-
cial taxes justified the seizure IF ali

Not Disturb Diplomats

WASHINGTON, Oct. For
eign diplomats in the United
States may still get their liquors,
according to Administrator Off
cials.
They are now authorized to get
alcoholic supplies under special
regulations, which require that all
such shipments leave the foreign
port with a formal clearance
from the American consular
agent stationed there, and with
this clearance the shipment is
passed through the United States
customs. It was considered
probable by officials that these
regulations would be thought
sufficient to meet the new situa-
tion arising from the Attorney
Generals opinion that all ships
bearing alcoholic stocks are pro-
hibited from touching at Ameri-
can ports.
