NEW YORK, June % (SpeciaD.-
Print cloths construction exhibited
the most activity in the dry goods
market today. Prices were hrm and
many mills are disinclined to sell

heavier goods. Tire fabrics were
fairly active, with some of the tire
manufacturers taking sizeable lots.
There was fair amount of business

Two Ship Lines Get Injunction.

TWO ship Lines Get Injunction.
New York.--Federal Judge Learned
Hand issued temporary injunction
restraining federal prohibition agents
from molesting liquor on board the
vessels of the British owned White
Star line and the American owned
United American line.
The temporary stays will be heard
along with the SIMILAR case filed by
the International Mercantile Marine
and the order requiring federal en-.
forcement agents to show cause why
they should not be restrained from
molesting liquor on the "a vessels Of
the Cunard and Anchor lines.
The United American line, which
was represented by George Adams
Ellis, was required to furnish bond
to guarantee that liquor on board the
steamship Resolute, leaving New York
would not be sold or consumed until
the vessel arrived at Hamburg. The
bend was double the value Of tho
liquor. Mr.. Ellis said he took this ac-
tisn in order to get the matter before
the United States supreme court and
also to get the liquor on the Resolute
into a foreign port, to remain there
until supreme court decision finally
settles the validity Of the Daugherty
decision.

It Is common tradition but the

WILMINGTON MEETING COMES
TO coLsE AND DELEGATES
LEAVE FOR HOME.
TO PRESERVE lees CHAPEL
Great Soldier Devoted Remainder Of
Life to Teaching Young Men tho
Ways Of Peace.

Wilmington, NJ C.-Greensboro was
selected for the closing session Of the
silver anniversary convention Of the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
here as the place for the 1923 meeting.
Mrs. R. P. Holt, of Rocky Mount,
will lead the activities Of the divis.
lon for the coming year, having been
elected president after warm con-
test between supporters Of her and
of Mrs. James M. Gudger, Jr., Of
Asheville. The latter's supporters,
however, paid her tribute afterwards
by the presentation Of q wreath by
the Asheville chapter and a corsage
by the Waynesville chapter.
The daughters agreed to raise q
portion Of the funds necessary to-
make fireproof and to preserve the
little chapel at Washington and Lee
university, where General Lee wor-
shipped while president of the insti.
tuition.
The feature Of the closing session
was an address by DR.. Henry Louis
Smith, president of Washington and
Lee university. In speaking Of the
educational work done at the old
Washington College" by Gen. Robert
E. Lee, DR.. Smith said that 1t is going
to count for more than all the glorious
military career of the Confederate
chieftain and hero. BY this education
work. he said, General Lee taught ev.
eryone of the great Southland self.re.
aunciation at the call Of duty.
When General Lee returned to his
home after the war he was without
a profession; practically in a destitute
state, said DR.. Smith. However, the
speaker declared, Immediately there
was an outpouring Of sympathy from
all over the world. The nobility OF
England offered General Lee the old
Lee homestead for the rest of his life
without cost, but this offer, as was
the commandership Of the armies OF
Egypt offered by the Khedive Of
Egypt, was turned down.
At Washington college, said DR.
Smith, the educational activities Of
the great fighter reads like fairy
tale. New departments were created
the studies were made more practi.
cable, and everything possible was
done by General Lee to teach the
yeung men Of the South to live the
life Of peace. This work went on until
the great chieftain was stricken down
in his home.

America Makes No More Loan.

Washington.-It is stated at the

States will make no further loans to
any country Of Europe. Likewise 1t
10 intimated that an effort will be
made to discourage any individual or
firm in the United States from making
private loans to any country Of Eu.

This attitude of the United States
Is said to be due to its determination
to collect as soon as possible the enor-
nous debt of $11 1,OoO0OO 900 owed the
United States by the countries of Eu-
rope. 1t is indicated that treasury Of
acials have concluded that European

2,67s Chapters Aiding Veterans
In this work, upon whose accom-
plishment the American Red Cross is
urging a record-breaking enrolment in
the Rdl Call which opens on Armis-
tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv.
ing Day, 2,679 Chapters in all parts OF
the country are engaged. This Is $50
more than were working for ex-service
men last year when approximately
$1O,OOO,00O was expended by the Ma.
tional Organization and the Chapters
working together in harmonious unity.
F.r the current fiscal year National
Headquarters appropriated $,O3O,-
602.9O, an increase of $500 5,5G0A over
the amount spent for the work among
eX-service men in the year ended June
30 last. Since 1t Is estimated that the
Chapters will expend close to $7,OOO,-
600 from their own funds. the grand
total of Red Cross expenditures for
this single work is expected again to
reach the $1O,0OO,000 mark by June 80,
1923.
Hospital and District Office Work
During the fiscal year total Of over
1000 persons, paid and volunteer, has
been engaged in Red Cross duty in
hospitals or district Offices Of the U. s.
Veterans Bureau. An average Of 5000
new cases requires definite and par.
ticular attention each month. The de-
mand for Chapter-made articles for
hospital patients is constant.
During last year Service Claims and
Information Service at National Head
quarters handled 1920 compensation
and insurance claims, 24,5G0 allotment
and allowance cases, and 9,700 miscel.
laneous claims. Since February, 1919.
II has disposed of GAIA allotment
checks payable to veterans which the
FOst Office Department reported unde-
liverable.
The Chapter Is the unit Of the Red
Cross organization which is accessible
to every disabled veteran or his fam
ily. Between July !, 1921, and June 20,
1920, the Chapters had reported 1865.
079 instances of service to ex-servics
men and their dependents, at cost
estimated from reports now at hand OF
more than S5,34O00O.
The basis of this far-reachlng work
OF the Red Cross Is the individual
needs Of the disabled veteran to the
end that he may obtain his rights un'
der the law, that his especial wants
may be Immediately supplied, that his
own and his famlly's situation may be
rendered happy and cheerful, and that
their outlook for the future may
visualize incentives for Independent
and fruitful effort.

tire broke out aboard the City Of

sll those aboard had to take to small
boats. The sea was smooth when
the ship was abandoned.
The ship was homeward bound to
oan Pedro, California, from Honolulu,
and was 1,4O5 miles east Of Honolulu
and $40 miles southwest Of San Pedro
when the fire started.
Capt. H. r. Lester Of the City Of
Honolulu reported that all were aboard
the West Faralon. The condition Of
the City Of Honolulu was reported as
. gigantic pillar Of flame and smoke
and was declared by Captain Lester to
b critical. The West Faralon lay .
mile away. ,
Although three other vessels, the
Matson liner Enterprise, the army
transport Thomas and the yacht Cast.
ana, OF Edward L. Doheny, Los An.
geles oil magnate, heard the signals of,
distress from the City Of Honolulu
before the West Faralon did, the
freighter was only SO miles away when
Il started to the rescue.
Only brief messages have been re.
ceived here. SO it is not known under
what circumstances the passengers
and crew escaped from the burning
vessel. Apparently the sea remained
smooth throughout the day. for Cap
tain H. M. Walker Of the West Far.
alon reported conditions were favor.
able.
As the West Faralon. a shipping
board freighter, has only limited &C.
commodations, It is believed many Of
those rescued from the City Of Homo
lulu will have to remain on her decks
until larger vessels arrive. The West
Faralons registered tonnage is 7,45l.
She was bound from San Francisco to
Yokohoma.
Less than half dozen OF the pas
sengers were from the eastern part
Of the country. A large number were
from Honolulu, Los Angeles and other
southern California points while the
remainder came from other parts Of
the Pacific coast Fifty-six Of the
| passengers were in the salon, the
other 160 third class. Thirty.four Of
tho salon passengers we're women.
One woman was travelling third class
with a baby girl, % months old.
The City OF Honolulu was the Ger.
man passenger liner Friedrich Der
| Crosse, built at Stettin, in 1896, and
used In transatlantic service until
1914, when she was interned in al
American harbor. When the United
States entered the war the liner wa:
renamed Huron and used as a trans.
port carrying troops to France.
After the war the Huron was
broaght to San Pedro, California, and
was reconditioned for the Los Angeles
Steamship company. Her registered
tonnage is 10,6SS, her length 523 feet.
Tie vessel has twin screws.
