The result of the vote cast at the
annual election of the Submarine Boat
Corporation was still in doubt yester-
day when the meeting was adjourned
for the third time to enable the in
spectors to complete tabulation of the
ballots The adjournment was taken
until II o'clock tomorrow. The in
spectors in reporting at yesterday 5
meeting stated that while the count
of the total votes cast had been COM
pleted there were disputes regarding
approximately 200 proxies which would
have to be decided. The question as
to whether the present management
is to continue is said to rest on how
the disputed ballots are voted

 Organized Business.
 The captain was young German about 30 years old. You take me for a smuggler," he said, "or boot leggeP out for business beyond the law, but you are quite mistaken. My name Is Ludwig Wolff, formerly of the German navy. I do no business which cannot bear examination. and would not for anything in the world infringe on the privileges of Sweden. I am in international waters, and am entitled to trade here as much as wish with anybody who wants to do business with me. can offer you the purest and best whiskies, English and American at about S1.25 quart. I have the best Danish schnaps for krone bottle, and many thousand bottles of German brandy.
 Wolff, referring to himself, ex- plained that he had been paid of from the navy when the armistice was declared, and on hearing of the liquor trade with Norway, he decided to join in. "I am not dealing for my own account" he said; " this busi- ness is organized in Hamburg by big capitalists. Liquor in Germany is very cheap and Scandinavian cur rency very high. so although we sell much cheaper than do registered dealers ashore, the profit for us is nearly 500 percent" He added he expected to get rid of his present cargo within a week and return for more. He made ten trips last year to Norway and with the same num- Der to Sweden this year he expects to clean up enough for a f1ve-years' rest.

RUM RUNNING IN
 SWEDEN INCREASES
Legislation Against 'Drunkshnss
 Causes Rise in Alcohol

Stockholm. Aug. 14.-Legislaticn in Sweden against drunkenness and consequent heavy taxation on liquor and beer has resulted in very high prices for alcohol of every kind. So mueh so that smuggling of drink into Sweden has developed all along the coast, and it is asserted that about 5000 gallons from the Baltic are landed and sold in Sweden every day.
 Recently German ship was said to be anchored outside territorial wa ters with cargo of spirits for sale. In order to establish the truth of this alleged rum-running. the correspond ent of the Associated Press dscided upon personal investigation. sWith friend he embarked on a six ton cutter for this German boat, which was expected off Sandman, and after pleasant sail in the moonlight came up with the vessel which was riding at anchor with the usual lights show ing.
 On hailing the vessel we were re- auested to go aboard and were receiv- ed cordially by the captain. "Jue waiting for somebody else," he said, but you are very welcome anyhow" Asked down to the ca bin, the visitors explained they were neither buyers of alcohol nor in the service of the customs but only wanted to learn

 Need Aircrafts.
 George Lambert, a former CIVIL Lord of the admiralty, expressed the opinion that the British navy was very inadequately equipped with, air craft. Can the navy say that from the defensive point of view the money of the taxpayer is being spent to the best advantage 2" he asked. You are going to spend 16,0o0,0oo pounds on two new hattieships. but it is useless to spend money on capital ships un- less you have sufficient aircraft for the ships you already possess.

We arc exposed to two great dangers from the air." he said, 'massed attacks by fleets of airplanes flying by night and scattering poison and disease germs on our cities, and having our food supplies cut off by attacks on the trade routes. The two capital ships would be of little use warding off such raiders.
 Mir Amery, financial secretary to the admiralty answered some ques- tions about recent experimental at tacks by airplanes on warships in the Channel According to published sem sationa reports, he said, the attacks were completely successful, and if made in real warfare would have

 It seems incongruous that this equipment Is ready to dash through the heart of Alaska and bring up on the banks of the Panama river, that mighty stream whose mere name con- jured up visions of argonauts,. dog teams, myriads of caribou and the old days when only strong men reached the Tanana.

 Travellers recall two trips over this route two years ago.

Then came the horse drawn sleigh or dog team to the next roadhouse at Sum- init. a bleak, desoate spot in winter, hemmed in by icy mountains and swept by wintry blasts. Overnight at the crude roadhouse and the trip was continued to Nenana, on the banks of the Tanana, down dangerous can yon where the dogsled clung to the beetling cliffs by the teeth of the brake. Maybe it was 40 degrees he low zero and only the hardy or those compelled to take the trip braved it.

 Antony's first thought was that Cayley had hidden something that was absurd. In the time at his dosposal, he could have done no more than put it away in a drawer, where it would be much more open to. dis covery by Antony than if he had kept it in his pocket.
 Bil pulled open drawer in the chest, and looMd inside.
 Why did he keep clothes here at all?' Antony asked, Did he ever change down here?"
