BRIT0NS DO
NOT APPROVE
RUM POLICY
State Plainly In Note to Sec
retary Hughes That They
Are Not Sympathetic
TO CONSIDER QUESTION
Leaves Open Possibility of
Negotiating R1m Treaty
To Curb Smuggling
TO CONSIDER QUESTION

Washington, Sept. 19.-1ne British
reply to Secretary Hughes proposal
for reciprocal agreement on liquor
smuggling was received at the state
department today and was described
by officials as "in general not sympa-
thetic to the proposal" but the
British plan to present the question
at the British Imperial conference
which meets next month in London.
= The British communication leaves
open the possibility of negotiating
double barreled treaty to curb rum
running and also to facilitate legiti-
mate liquor in foreign bottoms.
There was no attempt, however, to
disguise the fact that the British
government had indicated general
disapproval Of the plan and raised
objections against it.
Hughes Points Out
In his proposals made to several
powers including France as we'll
as Great Britain. Sec. Hughes point
ed out that the drafted treaty be
submitted to make special arrange
ment extending the rights Of search
and siezure up to IL miles off shore
to prevent wholesale smuggling of
liquor into the United States. It was
emphasized that no project was be-
ing put forward by the United
States for anything. It is . general
rule of international that fixes the
limit at 3 miles.
Sec. Hughes also pointed out that
under existing law the government
was powerless to prevent liquor be-
ing brought in on ships even when
it was not to be sold.
BY an exercise of the treaty max
ing powers Mr.. Hughes proposed to
overcome this obstacle in way that
would have the effect of an amend
ment to the law.

RECEIVE BIDS
ON JN0. HAGAN
HOUSE OCT. End
Selling of House Will Conclude
Final Chapter in Home
builder Case
State Took Property Over Af-
ter Hagen's Refusal to
: Accept States Price

The final chapter in the history
of "the house built by the state for
John Hagan" which played SUCH an
important part in the recall election
will be written Oct. e. when sealed
bids will be received by the Indus
trial commission for the "Hagan
home" on Fifth street near the cap
itOl.
In advertising for bids the COM
mission announces that it must re-
ceive at least 20 per cent of the
value of the house in cash while the
balance can, be paid in monthly in
stallments not to exceed ten years
in duration.
The dwelling was one Of the first
to be constructed by the newly or
ganized Home Builders Association
during the Frazier regime. After
the house had been built and Hagan
had resided in it for sometime, he
refused to pay the amount demand
ed by the state as the contract
price, claiming that he had been
told the price would be less.
Later the state took the, property
over paying Mr.. Hagan $1,700 and
interest on the money he had al
ready put into the establishment,
and demanding in 4 return $50 a
month rental value for the time he
and his family had resided there.
During the past II months of liti-
CATION, the house has been occupied
by tenant, no rent has been col
lected, because no one was authoriz-
ed to make the collections. Upon
the sale of the shouse the rentals
will be adjudicated and collected.

Relate AT Trial
Practically all: Of the testimony
concerned radio operations and most
of it centered on signals sent by the
radio compass at Point Arguello to
the flagship of the Inflated destroyer
squadron.
According to the testimony Of
radio men from the flagship, there
was considerable delay in obtaining
these wireless direction signals by
which the squadron regulated its
/course and also considerable doubt
as to the accuracy of some of them.
This doubt as to the accuracy OF
radio compass signals from Point Ar
guello developed great significance as
the, hearing wore on, the most llum-
Jsfating fact brought out beng that q
navigator south of Point Arguello, en-
tering Santa Barbara channel, prob
ably would receive compass bearings
exactly the reverse Of those he might
expect while approaching the point
from the north.
What the court Of inquiry express
ed itself through Rear Admiral W.
v. Pratt, presiding, as particularly
anxious to learn, was Aow it came
about that Point Arguello signals
which repeatedly indicated that the
destroyers were still north Of the
point, were questioned several times
and finally discarded in favor Of what
witnesses termed the reciprocal

A CITY OF ASHES.

berkeley, Cal, Sept. 1.-Heaps OF
sodden, watersoaked ashes, broken
chimneys pointing crafty at the
sky, and jagged dead walls, were
all that remains of what was one of
the most beautiful residence places
in the west. the northeastern Sec
tion of Berkeley. Soldiers and police
patrolled the ruins last night with
fingers on ready triggers where sup
posed looters slipped about, or
searched with electric flashlights for
bodies, on the chance that all might
not have escaped from the wind
whipped inferno.
It was the belief of Acting Chief
of Police C. D. Lee. nowever. that
all escaped wieh their lives, as the
district offered man. broad. avenues
Of exit.
The armory of the University of
California, the big halls down town,
an d nearby churches and many
other public and semi-public places
we're crowded with refugees last
night. According to a police esti-
mate, between 10000 and $1,000 are
homeless, the fire having swept a
thick1y populated area for 80 blocks
yr more.
The Red Cross maintained many
stations on the edge of the ruined
district to care for refugees and
workers alike. Hundreds of uni
versity students aided in the patrol.
The board of fire underwriters in
San Francisco appraised the damag1
at $3,000,O00. exclusive Of personal
belongings. 1t is expected that these
will amount to at least $4,000, 900
