FOREIGN SHIP
LIQUOR TANGLE
Situation Now Fraught With
Grave Danger
NEAR CHAOS IN WASHINGTON
Dry Act Makes 1t Mandatory To En-
force Law That May In
woke international
Enmities.

Washington.-The foreign-ship
liquor tangle has reached such a
critical stage that suggestions of a
special session of Congress to re-
lieve the impending danger of ser
ious international eyentualities
were heard in official quarters.
In State and Treasury Department
circles newspaper correspondents were
importuned not to further discuss the
idea that vessels bringing in liquor
would be seized.
Secretary Hughes also was under
stood to have counseled Acting Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Gilbert to "go
slow in making any seizures.
The reaction from foreign govern
ments to accounts in the newspapers
of conferences on preparations for
seizures proved so disturbing as. to
create almost official chaos in the two
departments.
Adding to the officials embarrass-
ing burden, too. was the appearance
at the State Department of the
japanese Ambassador, Masano Hani-
hara. to register a vigorous protest
against the action of American Gus
toms officers at Honolulu in removing
292 quarts Of liquor from the Japan
ese liner Korea Maru.
The conditions in which the Admin
istration now finds itself in under
taking TO work out the problem may
be summed up in this way:
l. The volstead law makes 1t man.
datory upon the enforcement authori-
ties to seize any vehicle. team, auto
mobile, boat, air or water craft or any
other conveyance whenever intoxicat-
ing liquors are transported or pos
sessed illegally" in such boat. etc. The
Supreme Court decision and the break
ing of foreign customs seals and seiz-
ures OF liquors leave no doubt of the
fact that ships coming in with liquor
aboard other than for medicinal pur-
poses are violating the law.
2. But officials frankly confess that
they cannot carry out the plain man
date Of the law without provoking
serious international enmities, involy-
ing possibilities too grave even to be
discussed openly.
g. Yet the law cannot be ignored.
President Hardings most recent pro
nouncement on law enforcement at
Denver. in which he calls for uncom-
promising enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law. permits of no winking at
open violations, even by foreign ships.
a. Therefore, II the law cannot be
enforced as practical proposition.
and the enforcement authorities can
not ignore the law or wink at viola
tions, II Is declared, an extra session
Of Congress to modify the law to meet
/ the exigencies of the situation or d.
rect what shall be done under the
circumstances is the only logical way
out"
Efforts were made at the Treasury
also to pass the buck to Prohibition
1 Commissioner Haynes on the seizure
suggestion. although he declared in a
/ formal statement three days ago that
he did not favor seizures. Haynes and
his associates in the Prohibition Blu
reau and all officials of the Treasury
Department except Acting Secretary

zled in so far as any further state

DROPS COAL CASES.
Dausherty Has 1921 Strike Indiet-

indianapolis, Ind.-Criminal con-
spiracy cases against 1877 coal oper-
stors. union officials and miners and
80 corporations growing out of the
1921 nationwide coal strike were dis.
missed in federal court here by Judge
A. B. Anderson.
The cases were dismissed on per-
sonal petition of Attorney-General
Dsugherty. who appeared in court
The indictments charged the 1921
strike constituted a gigantic con.
spiracy among the defendants to In
crease price of coal and restrain
trade
They were returned under the sher-
man antitrust act.
Belief that a conviction could not
be obtained caused him to ask dis
missal. Daugherty told the court.
