LIQUOR PRICE LOW ON PACIFIC COAST
Unable to Thrive Here Smus-
 9IerS Go to California

New York, May 14, AP)-The price of liquor, going up in New York, is going down in California The reason is the dry navy's block. ade of the cast coasts rum row.
 Many Of the ships. unable 10 do business here, have sailed for the Pacific coast, where customers are reported to be bringing loads ashore regularly and without difficulty.
 Some estimates place the value of whiskey landed in and around San Diego within the past forty-eight hours at more than $l00,000. As result the bottom has fallen out Of the gin market in California. Scotch is reported to be selling for $4 a quart in Los Angeles, compared with previous prices of $6 10 $9. Two cutters are reported as unable 10 cope with six rum ships off south ern California.
 New York newspapers say that though liquor is still plentiful here 1 it is coming from reserve stocks and wholesale prices have gone up Sl0 to SIS case, ashore since the blockade started. The World says i that champagne which formerly sold at s95 or $90 a case, now costs S10o. Rye whisley is very rare, and Scotch is as high as sGO a case.
 Possibly bearing on future action against the Pacific coast rum row TN1.iA ,nl- bat Japan is negotiating liquor treaty with the United States, giving Jap anese ships the right to bring liquor into ports under restrictions and authorizing the United States to take action against rum runners from Japan. The liquor ships off the coast so far reported, however, are British and Belgian,
 While all indications arc that the blockade of the Atlantic rum row continues to be effective, the first case of gun fire since the blockade started has developed. New iork's marine police report that a coast guard fired at q small boat, presum- ably one regarded as a rum snug gler. al the harbor entrance.
 Describing plans in contemplation for widespread enforcement of pro- hibition headlines in papers here run something like this: "Rclentless drive at sea and shakcup In the land forces indicate new spirit l"Rullets and Bulletins expected to end smuggling, moonshining and bootlegging."
 These headlines are intrrpreta- lions of forthcoming propaganda and of coordination of the efforts Of spe- cial federal prohibition enforce ment staffs with those Of state d. rectors. Under an appropriation ol
 s5o.6 available to the prohibiuon departmcnt July posters "mpha' : sizing the benefits of strict ohserv' ance or tho law will be displayed
 on public buildings throughout the 7 country.

 Washington, May IA. - l see by the papers there's a little anthrax in tho country. New York doctors report d human case. Webster says anthrax Is Ian infectious and usn- ally fatal disease Of animals, es- pecially cattle and sheep, and oc- casionally of man"
 Indeed, in some countries, where health regulations are lax, human cases are fairly common, Not here. however. The only Americans know of who have had it are Coun- selor Franklin Adams of the Pan American Union and me unless you count that New Yorker, and considering where ho lives he prob ably isn't an American anyway.
 Adams and l occasionally get to- gethcr 10 reminisce. Unlike those, for instance, who have had their appendices removed, We have no large audience Of other eX-eictims who, having been through the same thing. enjoy hearing our suf- fcrings described. So we have to make the most of one another. Adams had hts case in Chile. As soon as he was able 10 travel, after fooling the undertaken, he crossed over to the Argentine side of the Andes, where I was living, only re- gently recovered from my case. He wasn't entirely well, by any means.
 His illness had left him, tenn porarily, with one trick I couldn't perform myself. Under stress of ex- citement or any emotion, like an ger his scalp would puff up like q balloon right before your eyes. It was weird. Then, as he cooled off, gradually he'd defate.
 But anthrax is too high a price 10 pay for such an accomplishment. 1 Nor was Adams proud of it. One day somebody made a remark that tretted him good deal. oh l wish" he cried, you hadn't said that! Now" his voice rising to a l wall, my head Will swell
 Abd -E) -Krim -- he pronounces it Cream -- has the Washington ad- mnistration somewhat worried. After 15 years Of fighting to drive the Spaniards out of his part of Morocco, he has started in on the French.
 He has bcd Spain nearly to death financially That didn't mat. ter so much, but with France i, does she owes so much here The prospect that she'd meet hel ! American obligations was none toe bright before. If she's in for the same kind of an experience Spain has had, no such bone remains al all.
 Abd, the state department hears is a pretty good manager He has won all his big battles with tht Spaniards, but. having more re sources than he, they kept on send ing fresh troops. Abd licked then as fast as they arrived. but stil
