BUYERS OFFERS
SEND PRUNES Up
HALF A CENT

Prune prices, which have re-
mained stable since early in the
summer with the market inactive,
were today advanced from quar-
ter to half a cent by buyers and
are now being quoted on the basic
price of from to sh cents for
4O-50s.
Little selling, however. is re-
ported even at these prices.
Several reasons are credited for
the advance but the most general
ly accepted theory is the reported
damage to the California pack of
the dried fruit by rain. Much of
the fruit there is sun dried and
rains during the drying season
are said to have cut down the
yield.
Rumors that the Oregon Grow
ers Cooperative association have
oversold their pack for this season
are also having an effect upon the
local market. Reports are that
the association is between 4,0O0,-
900 and 100000 pounds short of
their orders, due to the failure of
the crop to come up to the pre-
picking estimates of the grower
and it is known that the
association is seeking to enlist
more members in its prune pool.

SUPREME COURT
DIVIDED UPON
LISTING OPIUM

/. Washington, Oct. 16. In a
case regarded by government
council as having an important
bearing on enforcement of the
prohibition and anti-narcotic
laws, the supreme court by a tie
vote today declined to overthrow
lower court opinion making it
Unnecessary for shipmasters
touching at American ports to list
in their manifests articles which
cannot be lawfully imported.
The court divided four to four
on the question, which was in
volved in a case brought by the
United States against Wesley L.
Sischo, owner of vessel upon the
Pacific coast, who failed to re-
port aboard a quantity of smok-
ing opium, contending that it was
not necessary for him to- do so
because its omportation was pro-
hibited. The ninth circuit court
of appeals upheld Sichos conten-
tion.
The government asserted the
decision was in conflict with
rulings of the circuit court of
appeals for the second ard eighth
circuits, which had held that
customs papers must give a ,on-
plete list of all articles aboard. It'll
was further argued by the gov
ernment attorneys that the statute
requiring the listing of all goods,
wares and merchandise capable
of being imported applied to
everything capable of being
brought into the country and not
alone to goods which could be
legally imported.

DENY
DRY SLEUTHS
SHIP SEARCH
Hughes Request For Ex-
tension Of Right of
Search and Seizure For
Liquor on Seas Rejected

Washington, Oct. 16.-(By AS
sociated Press - Great Britain,
in communication delivered to-
day to the state department, is un-
derstood to have declined to agree
to the suggestion of Secretary
Hughes for reciprocal agreement
for the extension of the right of
search and seizure so as to give the
American prohibition navy juris-
dictien outside the three-miIe
limit,
At the same time the British
foreign office assured the Ameri-
can government that every pre-
caution would be taken to prevent
violation of the American prontbi-
tion law by rum smugglers- under
the British flag. 1t was said that
Canadian and other port officials
had been instructed to prevent so
far as possible the issuance of
fraudulent clearance papers and
other improper practices COM
planned of in Secretary Hughes
prohibition note.
The British communication, In
reply to the one sent to London by
the state department several
weeks ago was presented to Secre-
tary Hughes by the British am
bass&dor, Sir Auckland Geddes.
Although department officials
would not discuss the subject,
there were indications that the re-
fusal to accord a reciprocal right
of search outside the usual limits
of territorial water would be con-
sidered as finally blocking any ex-
tension of such authority to pro-
hibition officers.
Orders already are in effect di-
recting the prohibition navy not
to operate outside the three-mile
line except in the case of vessels
in communication with the shore
by means of their own small boats,
and it has been the apparent belief
of administration officials that no
extension would be in accordance
with international practice unless
it were made SO by some such spe-
cific agreement as that proposed
by Mr.. Hughes.
