STATE Dept. SANCTIONS
CONDITIONAL" SHIP SALES
After Careful Investigation Up
holds Clause Requiring New
Owners Observe Law
AIMED AT RUM-RUNNERS
Originally Drafted by Justice
Dept. to Help in Campaign
Against Rum Smugglers

The right of the shipping board to
sell its ships subject to the condition
that they shall not be used by the new
owners as ruin runners has been sane
toned by the State Department in its
reply to objections raised by the gov
eminent of Canada, says a Washington
dispatch of April II.
Secretary Hughes based his answer
to the Canadian protest on the result of
a thorough investigation into all the le-
gal and practical aspects of the case
The detailed subjects treated in the
reply were not revealed nor would Of
iicials discuss the extent to which the
boards regulation OF use Of the ships
passing to foreign registry might be
carried.
The objection made by Canada was
a blanket protest against the placing
under Canadian registry of any vessel
purchased under a contract which made
its operation conditional. 1t was un-
derstood, however, that the point OF
attack was the clause now included il,
all shipping board sales contracts bind
ing the purchaser not to employ the
ship in such way as to violate the
laws of the United States.
This clause originally was drafted by
the Department of Justice to help the
campaign against foreign rum runners
and when Secretary Hughes asked that
department for an opinion recently il
reafirlned its belief that the prohibition
was legal and enforceable.

MODERN SERBONIAN BOG
TO BE DRIED UP-REPORT

Commissioner Haynes in a New
York interview of April 6 declared
that over 90 per cent of so-called
Struggled liquor when seized and
analysed does not prove to be inn
ported at ALL
He declared that the wide publicity
given the activities of the rum fleets
off the Atlantic coasts helps the boot
leggers in selling synthetic concoc-
tons that pass as imported liquors.
He recognizes the fact that rum fleets
are succeeding in landing liquor but
says that the amount SO landed is
greatly exaggerated.
Last week he conferred with dry
chiefs in the Atlantic coast area or
the best methods to be pursued in
kombating the smugglers.

HARDING ADMINISTRATION
TO Be ASKED To EXPLAIN
Strong Demand Naval Vessels
Be Utilized to Suppress
Smuggling.
ACTION is IMPERATIVE
Determined Opposition of Pres
ence of Rurn-Runners Along
Coast Grows Hourly.

The New York Tribune for April
says that President Harding is likely Il
be confronted with strong demand
that naval vessels and other govern
ment craft be used to stop the snug
Cling in OF liquors along the Atlantis
coast. The Tribune story reads ii
part:
Protest against the presence of
many rum runners along the coast
is becoming more pronounced among
Members of Congress.
Today Representative Graham of
Illinois, Republican, who is prom
inently mentioned for the next Re.
publican leader OF the House, de-
clared for the use OF destroyers or
other naval and coast guard vessels
to suppress rum running. He said
that unless conditions were i'm
proved he intended to press the
matter in Congress and otherwise.
"The present situation is humili-
ating," said Mr.. Graham. Large
numbers of rum runners are lying
along our coast smuggling in liquor
and the government is doing moth
ing effective to prevent it. The
prohibition law should be enforced
the same as any other law. 1t is
ridiculous to say we can not cope
with the rum runners. Anybody
knows that destroyer or two could
scatter the rum feet to the four
winds" Mr.. Graham believes for
eign governments if consulted
would take steps to have our laws
regarded and to suppress SNUG
Cling. He said Great Britain
would not tolerate such condition
off her coasts for a moment.
Senator Dial, Democrat, of South
Carolina, also expressed himself on
the suppression of rum running. He
called for enforcement of the pro-
hbition laws and protested at the
large number of shipping board YES
sells and naval vessels lying idle
while smuggling of liquor is going
on.

PLAN FOR MUSEUMS
IN EVERY LOCALITY
Association Would Have Them as
Numerous as Libraries if
Possible.

Museums will become as numerous

day, according to officials of the
American Association of Museums
which has its headquarters here,
Toward this end the association to.
day announced a plan whereby every
city and town in the United States
may have assistance in the organiza-
ton of a museum of it's own.
Individuals and organizations inter
ested in establishing museums are
asked to form a local committee. and
then to communicate with the asso-
citation. which will furnish assistance
and guidance In organizing and
financing by methods which have been
used in other cities. Directors OF
small museums also are urged to get
In touch with the, association. which
is promoting the national expansion
kinds.
School officers. historical and art
societies, scientific or technical bodies
business leaders and municipal on
Gals are called upon to take Up the
movement for establishment Of a
community museum. which, II 10 sug-
gested. should give special attention
to local matters.
Outlining the scope of a typical
small museum. the association recon-
mends that efforts be made to collect
and secure accurate information about
authenticated historical objects. such
as old costumes, housefurnishings
implements. weapons and manuscripts
showing the 'communtty's past; to
natural history objects, including To-
cal animals. plants and minerals; to
works of American art--with special
attention to work produced in the
community. together with small col
iectionss of art objects OF other times
and places. A we'll balanced museum
also should include exhibits showing
the materials. processes and products
of local industries and commercial or
CARNATIONS. to give citizens q better
understanding of the place and i'm
portance of their community in the
realm of business.
