Alonge Brothers with tarpaulins.
Greenberg, who was on duty at the
fire, asked the firemer what they had
covered. and he said ne was told it
was olive oil. Upon investigation he
learned it was wine, and on' question
ing Alonge was told that the latter had
a Federal permit to possess it, The
permit was not produced when Green
berg asked for it repeatedly, he said,
and as result he made the seizure.

But don't propose to stand it any

Hundreds Of famous men have been
named Clarence, but some smart Alecs
of recent years have come to look upon
the name of Clarence as joke. They
seem to think that anybody named
Clarence is mollycoddle. Such is not
the case. Ali the Clarences / have
known have been outstanding two-fisted
men. Whenever anyone ridicules the
name of Clarence impress upon him
that he is not funny, but only foolish
Mr.. Massey suggests that each Clar-
snce get five other Clarences to enroll
in his campaign.
Now we know what to do when a
Clarence comes. Sound, common sense
indicates clearly that when large.
two-iisted man appears at ones side
and remarks casually: "Do YOU think
the name of Clarence is joke?" the
correct answer is Certainly mott
Whatever could have put such crazy
idea into your head ?"
OF course. If the interrogater is
small and carries one arm in q sling
that's different
he is going to write to all the vaude-
vile managers in the country and ask
them to cut out from future programs
all the Clarence gags.
After while the only joke vaude-

Chiefs Clash on
Ship Seizures

der this ruling of the Bureau of In
sernal Revenue, provided the vessels

m the controversy Of ship seizures
Attorney General Daugherty takes tn g
position OF standing behind his ruling
whieh, in an official memorandum is.
sued to-day by him, intends that both
foreign and American ships "alike be-
come amenable to the provisions of the
national prohibition act" but he points
out that responsibility for the inter
probation Of the ruling, in so far as
the character of endorsements depends.
rests with the Secretary of the Treas
ury. The memorandum to-day sirtu-
ally declares that any liquor carrying
ship comes within the same category
as the boot1egger's "fiyver." 1t said:
Foreagn and American ships, by the
recsnt opinion, alike become amenable

hibition act tVolstead sct) within the

section 29 of said statute provides
penalties Tor transporting, Importing

and 81 200 for second offense; nen-
atty of $1,000 for selling for first of
tense and penalty of $1,000 for sec
end offense.
Possibilities or Act Explained
1.-TWO other provisions of the VOL
stead act which may be invoked are:
la) The nuisance provisions, Sections
Il, 2S and "a, which provide enjoining
It's use and declaring a fine of 81 goo;
'tb3 the so-called transportation sec
tion, Section 2S s'ot5ffs 'otffs. the Vo1steaE act.
which provides. forr the seizure and fora
feiture of the water or air craft or
other vehicle This latter section, how
ever, IS invoked as o proceeding accom-
panylng criminal prosecution against
the driver or master Of the vehicle or
craft; and is for transportation only"
Notices to foreign and American ship
owners acquainting them with Attor-
ney General Daugherty's opinion bar
ring liquor from ships and tentative
instructions to customs officers for en-
forcement of the rulings are in prepa-
ration by Secretary Mellon.
Foreign ship owners will be notified
through the State Departments diplo-
matte and consular representatives
abroad, who are to be instructed to
est possible publicity. Notice TO Amer
ican ship owners will be sent ont direct
by Secretary Mellon.
Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping
Beard, is known to entertain very
strong view that foreign governments
will adopt reprisals against American
shipping that will be hurtful because
Of the liquor ruling by the Depart
ment Of Justice. 1t is his opinion that
foreign vessels should be permitted to
carry liquor without interference, on
the theory that vessels of foreign flags
will take on only enough stocks to
meet the demands up to the three mile
American limit and toss overheard any
remaining with minimum of loss.
The Shipping Board chairman also
believes that the passenger trade of
American flag vessels will suffer more
from the ruling by reason of the fact
that the passengers will now book
round trip passages on foreign vessels.
whereas the custom OF many travellers
New-York tribune., 1922-10-13

heretofore has been to use American
vessels at least one way. Ships going
on long cruises for two or three
months, also, will profit by the liquor
ruling, inasmuch as they will be able
to slkc on liquor supplies three days
out of port and not be interfered with
on the high seas. As to the pros
pective losses on the West Coast trade
Chairman Lasker is Of the opinion that
all passengers for the Orient hereafter
will book accommodations from Van
couver rather than American ports.

NewWay to Foil Bill Raising

Evening Express and Advertiser. Portland. Me.
"URRENCY that cannot be
| raised as to denomination Is
~ believed possible by adoption
of a design which Edgar e. Austin of
Portland, Me-, has perfected.
He believes he has hit upon an idea
by which counterfeiters can be check
mated when 1t comes to the practice
of bill raising. so prevalent and easily
accomplished.
A margin on the right hand end Of
every greenback, varying in expanse
and in design, will stop the practice
because of extreme difficulty In pass
ing bills on which alterations have
been made. In short, 1t will be quite
as easy to detect the face value of a
greenback by sight as the denomina-
tions of coins by feeling each one in
making change.
He has obtained a patent on the
idea and has submitted II to Treasury
Department officials. They have 1t
under consideration, and protracted
deliberations there will ensue neces-
sarily as the Government does not
move hastily, especially In changing
fundamentals.
It is his purpose to have the issu-
ance of such money authorized by the
Government. and he offers the patent
rights forever free to the United
States. His profits would come from
sale of the same sort OF rights to ma
tional banks and foreign governments.
Inability to raise a one dollar bill
to a ten dollar bill can be seen by
noting the wide margin, filled with
vertical lines on the bill of smaller
denomination. A narrower margin.
filled with oblique lines. characterizes
the larger bill. Disparity between the
