 Investigation of the Mulhouse pir- acy, according to the examining magistrate, developed sthat more than 15o,o0 cases of whiskey, bran dy and wine entered the United States, along the shores of Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. during last June.

FEAR COLLAPSE OF
 ST.PAUL'S CHURCH
Cathedral in London Is Threat,
 ened With DiSintegratiOn

London, Oct. 1.-Despite heroic efforts being made 10 strengthen it's fabric, evidence accumulates that St. Paul's cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece, is threatened with disintegration. This evidence has been obtained from a variety of sources, during the past 25 years.
 The latest warning comes from the recently constituted Fine Arts commission which argues against the erection of a new bridge over the Thames opposite St, Pauls on the ground that the great cathedral already is threatened by heavy motor traffic, which is constantly increasing, and that any further shaking may lead to catastrophe.
 The defenders of the cathedral argue two ways. Either the new bridge would carry little traffic and so would be unnecessary, or 1t would carry a great deal in which case the constant vibration would cndanger wren's masterpiece, everywhere rec ognized as one of the finest build ings in the world.
 Fears for the safety of St, Paul's first were entertained when the sub ways were run through the earth in close proximity to the foundations. The vibration was recognized as a menace. This menace has been steadily augmented by the constant increase in surface motor traffic which rolls past the church and in very close proximity to it.
 Finally the arguments of the Fine Arts commission against new bridge and increased traffic are SUD- plemented by warning from Mer- vyn Mccartney, surveyor. of the

FUR TRADERS HOLD
 BIG CONVENTION
Sessions Are Taking Place in
 Washington

Washington, Oct 1.--Canadian, English and American fur traders and other representatives of the raw fur industry met here today for a three-day conference in an er- deavor to insure a future supply of furs through protection by proper legislation and stricter enforcement of laws. The meeting which is the first international conference in the history of the industry, was called at the instance of the national asso- citation of the fur industry.
 The London Fur Trade association is represented by its president, J. c. lngrams, who also is secretary of the Hudson Bay Company; and B. G. Arthur, secretary of the association and also Of the London Chamber of Commerce. Canadian representa- tives include: H. Loudin, general manager of the Northeast ,Co., limited, Quebec, and J. B. Harkin, commissioner of Canadian naval naval parks, Ottawa. Delegates representing the entire raw fur in- dustry of the United States and officials of the department of agri- culture, bureau of standards and bureau of fisheries also are in at- tendance.
 The available supply of raw furs, 1t is believed by members of the conference, can be materially in- creased through proper legislation. The trade was said to be anxious to stop trapping of unprime skins, to bring about standardization of grad ing so as to eliminate unfair prac- tices between traders and trappers, prevent indiscriminate draining of swamps and lowlands, and promote preservation of forests.

Lord Didn't See Much to

Wordsworth is held up for the de-
