situations which were bound to attract an
eager intelligence of the kind she un-
doubtedly possessed but which could not
be appropriately treated by that favored
method. The method was that of William
Dean Howells and Henry James. The sit

tablishment of the American plutocracy;
and they were large, bold situations, bla-

be dealt with by the method that in Mr..
Howells's hands was adjusted to the nice

HAMBURG, June 17.-Eleven men,

liner Avara were missing late last
night, following the turning over
of the vessel while it was being
hauled out of drydock at the Vulcan
shipyards here yesterday morning. One

Eighteen of the survivors were un-

The capsizing of the steamer is
attributed to her having been i'm

The difficulty in rescuing those en-
trapped on the liner was due to the
great amount of wreckage about the
hull, which prevented approach.

RULING PERMITS
SHIP LIQUOR SALES
New Regulation From Treas.
urySett|es Lasker-Busch
Controversy.

Intoxicating liquors can be sold le-
gally on United States Shipping
Board vessels beyond the 'three.mile
limit. under-a new Treasury regula-
ton issued yesterday. according to p.
A.. Wise, general counsel for the pro-
hibition bureau. This settles, for
the time being. 1t is believed, the Las.
ker- controversy over the right
of United States ships to transport
and sell alcoholic beverages. which
was started by letters to President
Harding charging the shipping board
with carrying on large bootlegging
business.
Protects All Ships Alike.
Tho new regulations were not
drafted with the intention of settling
the question Of LIQUOR on Shipping
Board vessels. Mr.. Wise said. and in
fact were written before that ques-
ton arose. AS drawn. however. he
said. they would apply equally to
American and foreign ships in per-
mitting intoxicating sea stores within
the three-mile limit under the Gus
toms regulations which provide that
while in American ports all liquor
on board a ship must be sealed up.
The new regulations. which became
effective yesterday, provide for the
seizure of beverage liquor when In
transit through the United States:
1T is unlawful" the regulations
said. ito transport liquor for beverage
purposes, including in transit ship
ment from one foreign country to the
same or another foreign country. In
or through American territory, either
by land or water and even though the
liquor be not landed in this country.
and such liquor so transported in or
through American. territory will be
subject to seizure and the persons
transporting it subject to prosecution.
No permit for such transportation can
be issued"
After providing for the transporta-
ton of on-beverage liquor, the regu-
lations stated that liquors properly
listed as sea stores and liquors shown
by the shipping papers and vessels
manifest to be and actually destined
to a foreign country and going for
ward on the same vessel as that on
which they arrived are excepted from
the provisions of this section and will
be subject only to customs regula-
tions."
This latter provision. according to
Mr.. Wise. was the loophole through
which foreign passenger lines escaped
the results of the Supreme Courts de-
cision holding in transit shipments OF
beverage liquor illegal. Shipping
Board vessels would be entitled to the
same treatment he declared.
1t was freely predicted at prohibi-
| ton headquarters, however; that ar
