Contracts will be given out some
time In July or August fer eight mile
more of the Robert Grain Highway
Which will nearly complete about hale
OF the road. according to John N
Mackall. chairman of the State Road7
Commission. This years appropria-
tion Of S250.O0O will be available on
August Is, Mr.. Maekall said, but it is
probable that the contracts will be
given out before the appropriation act
ually Is in hand
Work on the highway is progressing
at fairly satisfactory rate, Mr.
Mackall said. The Anne Arundel ceun-
ty section Of four and one-half miles,
which was awarded last year. is about
10 per cent. completed. The work on
the section Of four miles from MARI
Bcro south has not gone along so well
the work having been delayed by con
troversies about rights of way.
In order to get the work started
promptly In both Anne Arundel and
Prince Georges counties. Mr.. Mackall
said it was necessary to award the
Prince Georges section without hav-
ing secured all the rights Of way that
were needed. AS the road will be a
tremendous advantage to the section
through which il passes, no trouble
about rights OF way was anticipated.
Nevertheless. several cases in the
courts have resulted from the COM
mission wonld award no further con-
tracts until all the necessary rights
of way had been secured in advance.

Mr.. Hughes discussed with his chief

flying the present stringent regulations
prohibiting all ships from carrying

preme Courts ship liquor ruling and
the subsequent stringent rules issued
and enforced by the Treasury Depart
ment
Every attack from any quarter is
promptly answered by an authorized
Administration spokesman who is
kept closely in touch with day.to-day
developments in the negotiations be
tween the United States and Foreign
Powers.
Apparently quick to recognize the
fact that failure would follow any
effort to obtain anything correspond
ing to an. extension Of the traditional
three-mile limit OF territorial jurisdic.
tion. the Presidents advisers are en-
phasizing the assertion that the United
States seeks no such extension.
State Department experts have com.
piled precedents showing where Eu.
ropean powers now reluctant to ac.
cept the American contention, have
at various times claimed the right to
visit and search to the 12-mile limit
and these are being used to contro-
vert arguments advanced against the
Hughes proposals.
Every emphasis is placed upon the
temporary nature of the concession
sought upon the restricted applica-
tion Of the suggested seareh-and-
seizure clause and upon the declara-
tion that the agreement is sought
solely for to deal with "hovering"
vessels anxiously intent upon violat.
ing American laws. The idea OF
tampering with the history OF the
three-mile limit is no longer enter
tained in authoritative discussions.
One serious embarrassment is faced
by tho administration in its campaign
to eliminate discussion Of. the exten.
sion of territorial limits in connection
with the proposed 12-mile search and
seizure limit This arises from the
fact that in diplomatic quarters there
Is inability to understand how the

RECoUN1s SMUGGLING PLO1

New York; strange story Of
a fight on the high seas, in which
five Chinese, two white men and
two negroes were killed aboard
the sioop Mary Beatrice, was told
here by one Of the surviving
Chinese.
The Mary Beatrice. two-masted
British Bahama sponger," was found
of New York bay, without crew or
captain, and with Is Chinese aboard.
One of them, whose name is with
held, made statement to immigra-
tion authorities. asserting that after
he and his fellow Orientals had paid
$500 apiece to be smuggled into the
United States from Cuba, the skipper
absconded with the money, the crew
tried to hold up the Cinnamon, and in
the ensuing battle the Chinese, whites
and negroes were killed.
Through an Interpreter this China
man told how he and 10 companions
embarked at Havana. May s.

aboard. together with the skipper. two
white sailors and two blacks. The
boat is only 30 feet long, and with its
heavy human cargo it waIlowed low
in the waves, shipping much water
Conditions aboard were terrible
In addition te-t the chinamen, the
skipper had cargo of whisky. ac-
cording to the story told immigration
officials. and this he sampled himself
in liberal quantities. afterward beat
ing his passengers for amusement.
June 6, after very slow voyage,
the Mary Beatrice-by this time a
yeritable ''hell ship''-arrived on New
York bay
The skipper cruised up and down,
waiting for smuggling launches to
come out. and remove his shipment
OF "booze and chinks."
Last Tuesday, the narrator said, the
captain announced that he was going
to depart Food and water had run
low Before leaving he distributed
rifles and pistols to his crew--the two
whites and the two blacks.
After the skipper had rowed away
in the only small boat-and taken
with him all the passage money-the
crew conferred and then decided to
hold up the passengers.
These Chinese refused to give up
their money as demanded. and the
fight started. Most Of the passengers
were unarmed, but they scurried
around and grabbed what weapons
they could in the shape of batchets
and knives from The galley
According to the Cbinaman's story,
he and his compatrlots defended
themselves as well as they could
while they sought hiding places.
In a very few minutes the whites
and negroes exhausted their ammuni-
tion and then the Chinese emerged
from their hiding places and in
hand-to-hand fight massscred the
crew. the five Chinese being killed
with the others.
The bodies were pitched overheard
and the Is survivors cleaned up the
ship, set distress signals and sat down
to wait for something to happen. They
were found and towed into Quaran-
tine.

man had a bullet wound, but there
were no other evidences of fight
