DEFENSE TRIES
new ARGUMENT
Waterhouse Counsel Sur
prises Opposing Side


Counsel for Frank Waterhouse in
the 100000 suit which is being
brought against him by w. I. Laube,
sprang q surprise as the trial of the
case entered upon its third week
Monday before Judge Calvin S. Hall.
Laube, as trustee in bankruptcy for
Frank Waterhouse & Co., is seeking
to recover corporate funds which
Waterhouse Is alleged TO have alb
stracted TO pay personal losses in
Cured in the construction of the
steamer III Aauario. Up to now the
whole point OF contention has been
as to whether Waterhouse was prop
erly authorized by the board of trus-
tees OF his company TO act as in
dcmnitor for the McAteer Shipbuild-
ing Co. TO insure completion of the
FL Aquario.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES
POWER DESCRIBED
But on Monday Il. t. Merritt, of
counsel for Waterhouse, advanced
the argument that the companys
articles Of incorporation created an
executive committee, clothed with
powers practically equal TO those OF
the board OF trustees, and that this
executive committee authorized the
III Aquario deal even II tho trustees
did not--a point which the defense
does not admit.
Merritt made this point In the
course of an offer of proof in regard
to testimony by John Wilson. presi-
dent of the National Steel Construc.
ton Co. which did the steel work on
the FL Aquario. Objections to the
offer of proof, advanced by Rober,

CANADA IS COLD 10
 AMERICAN PROGRAM
This Conference Schedule Is Too
 Inclusive

Ottawa. Nov. 27.-Tho list of pro- posals which American delegates plan to introduce at the international con- ference on rum smuggling, opening today, far exceed the scope Of a pure ly administrative conference and would involve changes in legislation which could be carried into effect only by acts Of Parliament.
 The view taken here is that the proposals introduce new element and further complicatc a situation all ready complex. Ii Was pointed out that Canadian liquor laws are pro- vineial in scope; that the Dominion Parliament has passed only ancillary legislation and that any proposal in volving a general prohibition law for the Dominion would meet vigorous opposition.
 The opinion also was expressed that tlc same forces that wonld lineup aeainst Dominion prohibition law would oppose somo Of the projects of the American delegates. Indications were that Canadians will await the lead of Americans at the barley. A wide-open discussion. without any re- strictions. is contemplated.
 No official announcements of the Canadian attitude toward sucgo stions Of the United States government is expected until the conference is un- der way. This applies fo previous reports that steps would bc taken to introduce discussion Of anti-narcotic !, gislaticn.
