SOVIET OFFICIALS CHARGE AMERICAN FUR
 TRADERS WITH ENTERING SIBERIA WITHOUT PROPER CLEARANCE

The American owned gas schooner Iskum which has been interned in Siberia for the last six weeks by the Red Government arrived in Nome Wednesday night and the following story is retold by the Nugget as it was told our representative by Capt. Putta of the Iskum.
 On May 12th 1923 the schooner 1skum cleared from Tacoma. Wash, for Siberian points on a trading ex- petition, first reaching the Siberian coast at Indian Point Cape Chaplin on June 4th. at. this point the ship was boarded by three Russians heav- fly armed. The leader said his name was Burke and that he was a repre- sentative of the Russian government. demanded to see our papers, after seeing them the leader said that we could not trade without license and that we could get one at East Cape. VI dI fAAAuyI. "C oCNiucu tO gu to East Cape. and were accompanied by this man Burke to whom we extend- ed the hospitality of the ship.
 On June 9th. MT. Diem represent ing the owners, MT. Felkel the com pany's trader and myself went ashore and found to our great sur prise that we were virtually held as prisoners. with a guard watching us all the time. and when I wanted to go back on board the ship. found that the native who brought me ashore with dog team over the ice had been paid by some one and had been told not to take me back aboard. I went in to where a crowd of men were assembled under the Red Flag and demanded to know the meaning of their holding me ashore. Finally after arguing that the safety of the ship required my presence on board, which fact they finally recognized, they permitted me to return aboard with a guard watching me.

Trading Permit of no Value.

Mr. Diem and MT. Felkel finally succeeded in securing temporary trading permit which proved to be of no value, as the traders and na- tives were told by Burke. who ac- companied us, not to trade with us. As I was afraid of foul play, I di- verted the vessel to Port Gambell. St. Lawrence Island, where Mir. Diem left letters for the Collector of Customs at Nome. telling about our situation and about other Americans being in trouble at East Cape. I then intended to come to Nome, but Burke assured me that the Russian Commercial expedition vessel was on it's way to Anadyr and just as soon as we would meet that vessel we could obtain our permanent trading license and go about our business. His promises were emphasized by the two automatic pistols which I then noticed were strapped On to him, and he once made a remark, that would go to Anadyr or go to Hell. Mir. Diem was told that our company. (The Phoenix Northern Trading Company would lose all it's property in Siberia if the Iskum ment to Nome before going to Ana dyr. Expecting the Russian govern
 ment officials from Moscow to be amenable to reason we started for Anadyr to meet the Russian boat.

Russian Pleads for Capt. Putta.

On July 18th the British steamer Baychimo came into Anadyr and I found that she had about one hun dred armed Russian soldiers on board.
 went aboard the Baychimo to get news and was followed by the Chief of Police who said that I was wanted ashore. Upon arrival in the government house, l was told that I would have to remain there under arrest. No reason was given for the arrest. A Russian who was called Dave and who spoke English fluent ly, pleaded with the Chief of Police and I was finally allowed to see MT. Burke who told the chief to allow me to return to my vessel.
 MT. Diem and myself went to the government house two days later with petition that a trading license be given to our ship, so that we could go about our business of trad- ing, Burke answered us by saying, What do you care? you are only working for wages" I explained to him that MT. Diem was financially interested in the company and that was interested in the managing of the ship in an efficient manner for my employers.

THIRD Payment MADE
GA. COTTON GROWERS
Membership Campaign In This
Section Meeting With Fine
Success

ATLANTA, March 15.-On its
third payment, amounting to $780,
10000. the Georgia Cotton Growers
last Friday and Saturday mailed
checks aggregating ,000,000.0O to
members, on cotton delivered to the
Association and against which no as
signments were made. This week,
according to announcement from the
headquarters Of the Association, all
payments viii be made to assignees
and mortgages under the terms Of as
signments as given by members to
their creditors. 1t will require APP
proximately until the end Of the
week to finish the distribution.
The distribution is being made on
the basis of a total Of 20 cents per
classed-basis middling On the I'M
classed cotton now in the hands of
the Association, the payment IS on
the basis of 18 cents per pound.
The first payment made to mem
bers was an advance of IL cents per
pound at the time Of delivery; the
second was a Christmas advance Of
2 cents per pound and the one. now
being made is on a cent per pound
basis, middging cotton, which brings
the total up to 20 cent per pound on
all classed cotton.

RIVALRY TO COOPERATION
THEME HIGHWAY ADDRESS

CHARLESTON, March I5.-How
the rivalry and bitter competition of
the five principal ports of the South
Atlantic Charleston, Whining
ton, jacksonville Savannah and
BrunsWlck-was turned into a spirit
Of cooperation watch led to the or
ganizatIon Of the South Atlantic
Coastal Highway association, was the
theme Of an address before the an
nual convention Of the association
here today by Arthur C. Smell, its
secretary, and formerly secretary of
the Charleston Chamber Of Com
meree.
Substitution for cooperation for
competition became the established
order, Mr. Smell said, when a few
years ago the five ports combined
in the South Atlantic Ports associa-
ton, devoted to building up their
maritime and commercial interests
and the spirit Of helping one anoth-
er was fostered, he continued, by the
organization two years ago of the
highway association.
The original idea of the Highway
association, according to the secre-
tary, was to promote a federal high
way connecting the five port cities,
skirting the Atlantic coast from Will
mington to Jacksonville. That idea
has grown until now, he asserted,
within less than two years the asso-
citation expects to see the highway
completed from Washington to Rich
mond to Norfolk, and thence along
the coast to Miami.
The association was formed two
years ago at a meeting in Savannah,
which was attended by representa-
tives Of the five ports, Secretary
Smell related. Thereafter, he said,
followed in quick succession the
adoption of a plan for the construc-
ton of a bridge costing nearly one
million dollars across the Savannah
river at Savannah, and other minor
bridges, including the st. Johns
river bridge at Jacksonville, which
cost the city more than a million
dollars.

CUCUMBER GROWERS
REPORT NEW DISEASE

ATLANTA, March IA dis
ease known as bacterial spot, or an
gular leaf spot, has been reported
in this state by Georgia cucumber
growers, according to information re
ceiyed from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The entire fruit is sometimes de
troyed by the disease, it is stated
It first appears on the fruits as round
water-soaked, translucent spots that
do not reach far beneath the sur
face. Organisms of decay sometimes
gam access through these LESSONS
however, it is pointed out, and the
entire cucumber is DESTROYED. The
spots first make their appearance in
the field upon the seed leaves, spread
ing from these to the other leaves.
The most satisfactory method Of
reducing loss is through seed disin-
lection, combined with crop rotation,
the department reports. If the fruit
is packed dry and kept cool the de-
velopment OF the disease is retarded,
it is claimed.
In treating the seed, the farmers
are advised to immerse them in l
to 1000 mercuric-chloride solution,
made from standard tablets Great
care should be exercised in using the
solution, the department cautions,
as it is very poisonous when taken
internally.

COMPARATIVE EFFECT
Of DRY LAWS IN PENN.
Number Of Arrests During Past
-Four Years In That State
Shows Big Falling OFF

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Fed-
eral Prohibition Director John T.
Davis of Pennsylvania, has submitted
to Federal Prohibition Commission IN.
Hayes information as to arrests for
drunkenness and disorderlv conduct
IN several Pennsylvania cities for the
average four years before prohibi-
ton as compared with the average
three years since it became effective
Director Davis states that the making
OF current vital statistics a perman-
ent record by public officials is a cam
paratively new enterprise and that
the figures obtained are not uni
form because officials in some cities
do keep the records for all of the
year, while others did not begin to
compile such statistics until recent
years. Wherever available figures
for 1922 have been obtained and ac-
cording to the best information, the
following have been obtained;
