couched In courteous terms and re- questirg further information for consideration in connection with the pending applications for the export of American whisky to his establish ment. The following paragraph Of their letter is significant:
 "If you have disposed of any of the (American) liquor so imported or purchased Gin the pasD will you kindly supply us with statement showing the names and addresses of your yendees, the kinds and quan- titles of liquor so sold, the dates of sale and shipment, e it's destination. and, if exported from the dominion or province, the port or place of ex- ist?"
 There has been no reply to this request for information. Nor is there Noubt in my mind why
 There is no market in Canada for American whisky other than the bootleg market. Case after case of American liquor, still in it's original containers and bearing the telltale export markings which identify it both as to exporter from the United States and Canadian importer, has been run in upon the California coast from rum ships lowering, like bug cards, off the three mile line.
 On March 22, 1923, officers caught red-handed a party of smugglers at Long Beach, Cal, in an attempt to land 13S cases of liquor. The liquor was taken and eight persons were charged with conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act.
 One of the men arrested claimed that he was the secretary and treas urer of one of those export houses. There was found on his person list of different kinds of whiskies with the prices thereof, amounting to more than S26,000. He explained this document to the police by saying that 1t was a list of whiskies sold by him in Canada to two of the men arrested with him. He added that the whisky had been shipped osten- sibly for Mexico. but in reality to be landed on the California coast. Hc collect the balance of the money due therefor.
 The American whisky cited in these instances and others preceding them was exported on the strength of affidavits submitted by the Cana dian importers that it would be used only fer non-beverage purposes. Of what value are affidavits in such cases as these?
 Is there wonder. in the light of these experiences, that the govern ment requires wholly convincing proof before 1t will grant any appli- cation for permit to export? Of course not. The exercise of ever increasing vigilance over ex- ports and imports of liquor has made the repetition of such violations of our law extremely difficult. and gradually, but surely. is throttling the illicit international trade.

Iron Trade Reuiew

CLEVELAND, O., August 8.---Iron Trade Review today says:
 Confidence in iron and steel condi- tions has shown a noticeable i'm provement the past week as the broadened buying volume of the pre- vious week has been sustained. Con- sumers appear more inclined to ac- cept present prices as a stable basis for conservative trading and to put less faith in expectations of reduc- lions.
 At Chicago new tonnage taken the past week has been the heaviest In six months. Eastern plate mills have been able to balance their s .pments with incoming orders. The sheet market which has been slug ish and backward is showing some renewal of buying.
 Many of the blast furnaces re- gently taken off have been banked and not blown out, signifying the hope or expectation of early re- sumption.

WANTS SEARCH WARRANT

A bill to prohibit evidence illegally obtained in searching any person, house, dwelling or car, without g valid search warrant, from being ad- mitted as evidence in any court in Alabama, was Introduced in the house today by Representative James B. Powell of Walker.
 Passage of this bill will affect con siderably the enforcement of prohibi- ton law, as no evidence obtained by search without search warrant could be admitted. The supreme court of the United States has ruled to this effect, and already in federal courts evidence illegally obtained is not allowed, and number of cases pending against men charged with moonshining were dismissed in the district court at Montgomery when the ruling of the supreme court was first announced. Mir. PowelTs bill, while it does not specifically mention whisky or the prohibition law, would apply the same rule in state courts as already exist in federal courts. Evidence obtained @Without search warrants is admitted in state courts at present.

New York, March 22.--With the
police apparently as far as they can
get on the train of the murderer Of
Dorothy keenan,, whose tragic death
week ago has become the chloro-
form mystery, public attention today
was focused on the effort to smoke
out the identity of John Marshall"
the wealthy man Of mystery and init
mate of the slain girl.
Several newspapers, Alfred Gui-
mares, the other friend Of Miss Keen
an, and, 1t was reported, Mrs. Anna
keenan,, mother of Dorothy, all were
asking that ''Mr. MARSHALL be forced
out of the veil OF secrecy that the po-
lice and district attorney have
dropped over his identity.
Guimares also showed displeasure
at the stories published about his re-
lations with Miss keenan,. He denied
that he had beaten her as Mrs. Keen
an and her son John, the taxi driver.
asserted the dead woman had told
them and showed displeasure at the
unfavorable role in which he has been
portrayed.
Acting District Attorney Pecora
withstood demands that he reveal the
man who showered gifts on the dead
woman.
