Commissioner.

Selection OF a successor to Col.
Charles Keller as Engineer Commis-
Sioner of the District lies between
three lieutenant colonies of the En-

Both Col. Sheriff. and Col Mark

Numerous persons have either bv

in Washington for machinists in pri-
vate employment is from SIN to 90
cents an hour. the wage board fixes
the government wage at 73 cents"
the union official stated. This was
a cent increase over the hourly rate
recommended by the local wage board,
which refused to follow the depart
mental boards ruling that comparison
of navy yard wages with outside rates
of pay should be on the daily basis,
rather than the hourly. We contend
ed that the eight-hour day prescribed
by law for the navy yard was a full
days work, just as complete q days
work as is done by any private en-
ployes working possibly lotker hours"

First Agreement Signed.
Although the British agreement has
been ratified by Congress and its
terms accepted by the British, the
document embracing its provisions is
tied up somewhere in the offices of
the British echequer. The Finnish set
tlement, negotiation of which was be-
gun many weeks later. thus becomes
the first to be signed.
The agreement, with Finland pro-
vldes for the payment of the SSO00.-
600 in principal. and approximately
S1.O00,000 in interest. in installments
over period of sixty-two years. The
terms as to interest provide for a
rate of ~ per cent from the date
of the loan, about four years ago, to
December Is last. A rate of 81 per
cent interest prevails from December
and rate of per cent thereafter to
the maturity of the funding agree
ments.
Czech Mission Coming.
Official announcement was made at
the meeting that the Czechoslovakian
government had informed the Treas
ury that its delegation would sail
here be prepared to negotiate a settle
ment of that country's debt The
official information from Prague indi-
Gated that the delegation was en-
powered to negotiate g. final agree
ment, subject only to the ratiica-
ton of the settlement by the Amer
lean Congress.
Some concern was manifest at the
Treasury today as the American Debt
Funding Commission went into SEES
sion as to reasons for the delay by
the British government in returning
the debenture constituting the re-
funding between the United States
and England.
Members of the commission de-
clined to confirm reports that the
meeting was called to consider
the status of the British settlement
1t was declared that the general
foreign debt situation" probably
would be discussed.
Hold Delay Logical.
Treasury officials heretofore have
declared the delay by the British in
returning the debenture was not un-
duly long, but some members of the
commission were said to hold diff
ferent view. Those. members, 1T
was reported, were less optimistic
as to the immediate conclusion Of
tho final negotiations. owing to the
diHIculties in which the present Brit
ish government finds itself,

they do not consider representative.
Mr.. Alias stated that the decision
was not satisfactory to all machinists
and that 1t was reached in an absurd
manner. with apparently no considera-
tion of figures presented by the ma
chinists' organization. There are wide
discrepancies in the schedule, he de-
clared. The whole report, Mr.. Alifas
is inclined to believe, was made with
a view to making conditions at the
navy yards SO unsatisfactory that the
government can let its work out on
contracts to private concerns.
Men Advised to Stick.

adhere to a, few simple, basic prin
ciples. The United States throughout
it's career has given practical effect
to its belief in international arbitra-
ton. 1t has submitted dozens of dis
putes to arbitral decision. and abided
uncomplainingly by adverse deci-
sions. We are getting ready to pay
arbitration we recently lost. We have
never submitted to arbitration any
question that impinged upon vital
national interests or national honor
We are unlikely to do so in the
future.
Three Courses Open.
When nations disagree, they have
three alternatives: They can do
nothing; they can fight; or, they can
arbitrate. The Harding administra :
ton is in no doubt as TO which path
the American people prefer to travel.
Nor is it in any doubt that the people
are ready to cnter an arbitration
tribunal into which admission may
now be had on Americas own terms.
The world court is held by president
Harding and his advisers to be the
best tribunal that could be conStitut-
ed: some of them believe it probably
represents the worlds final attempt
TO establish the reign of law on a
firm foundation. 1t is very definitely

theory advanced today by federal of

mystery Of the abandoned rum runner
Patricia VI. Behan, which was picked
up Yesterday at the entrance of Great
South bay by the coast guard cutter
| Manhattan. The vessels sails were
set, her anchor was dragging and
there was no sign of the crew, which
probably numbered ten.
The deck was Uttered with empty
cartridge shells. and bullet holes were
found in various parts of the ship.
At first the theory was put forward
that pirates might have overcome the
crew. but as the investigation ad-
vanced this supposition was elm

Craft Abandoned.
Edward Barnes. assistant solicitor
of the ports office, said he believed
that the crew had become DISCOURAGED
by the hardships of rum running and
abandoned the craft.

one time Nova Scotia tTadinp
schooner. had changed hands several
times. and her real identity is in

NEW YORK. April ia mystery
OF the sea involving a possible battle
between rum runners and pirates. de-
veloped yesterday when the coast guard
cutter Manhattan found the aban-
doned two-masted rum schooner Pa
'rlcla NJ Behan, with sails set and
anchor dragging. at the entrance TO
Great South bay. The deck was
streWn with empty cartridge shells
and there were signs Of a Struggle
according to Capt NJ. ]. Ryan of the
Manhattan.
The schooner probably carried a
crew of ten men. and sufficient food
for ten days was in the hold. While
no liquor was found. entries on the
log and on a leaf torn from a note
book evidently owned by the nm
known captain indicated that the
craft had been engaged in the rum
running business between Bridpeport
Conn.,. and Key Port. n. J. The first
entry on the log was made on Janu-

name Maid of Canada, La Havre.

Considerably mystified, the coast
guards towed the schooner into port
and started thorough investigation.
Examination of the torn leaf from
the note book disclosed that on March
81 S,91S packages of liquor had been
sold at from s4S to $50 presumably
q CASEY. One entry showed that five
for $50.
On January 81 some one designated
as Ralph" took 545 cases and $40
cases at other times. Another person
noted as Slip" took 600 cases, and
there were sundry sales to fishermen.
Name Painted Over.
The schooner was once known as
Edith Helen Bush, but the name
had been painted over and covered
with canvas upon which appeared the
name of Patricia NJ. Behan.

issue notes that the schooner Patri-
