Every Third Convict
Up For Narcotic
Violation

Thirty-three per cent of the
convicts in Federal penitenti-
aries are serving sentences for
violations of the Harrison Anti
Narcotic act, Attorney General
Sargent announced today.
Prisoners held for violation
of the Volstead and other liquor
laws make up but 13 per cent
of the total number of convicts.
Officials pointed out that more
than 95 per cent of these ar
raigned for drug violations are
convicted, The percentage of
liquor convictions is decidedly
smaller, although violations are
far more frequent.

PACT TERMS
lcontinued from First Paee.l

CONTINUED from F1rSt PaGcD
among the diplomats at dinners and
luncheons during the conversations
was entirely unofficial" the opin-
ion persists today that Houghton
during the luncheon with BRAND
on Tuesday outlined to the French
foreign minister the views of the
United States concerning the Sc
curity pact.
Ambassador Houghton told Bri-
and, it is declared, that the United
States thought the security pact
should be mutual and bilatsral and
not unilateral. In other words, he
said that Germany should be
promised aid in case of unwar-
ranted aggression against her, as
well as France.
Moreover. it is understood, AM
bassador Houghton toll the French
foreign minister that the United
States felt the allies should no
longer assume toward Germany an
attitude strictly limited to the let
ter Of the Versailles treaty. BY
this it was meant that France and
the allies should not impose upon
Germany a ready made treaty
which the Reich would be compelled
to accept.
For Mutual Agreement.
The American viewpoint is said
to be that a better method would
be the mutual working out of a
pact which Germany would be will
ing to accept after direct negotia-
ton between her and France and
the allies.
The complete accord reached by
BRAND and Chamberlain Regarding
the rejoinder to be. sent to Germany
in the security pact negotiations
left the cabinet little to do when
it met today. Foreign Minister
Chamberlain came directly to the
cabinet meeting from Victoria sta.
ton. where he had said good-by to
NJ. BRAND, who left for Paris this
morning.
The terms Of the reply to Herr
Stresemann, German foreign minis
ter, as agreed to in yesterdays
Conversations, were promptly ap-
proved.
The press agrees that the con.
versations have resulted in a step
forward in the laborious and in
trfcate task of finding a meaps of
bringing Germany and France to-
gether in a pact which while 1t
will safeguard the integrity of
France will also aid in the promo
ton of peace and good will among
the nations Of Europe.
Most of the papers, however, EN-.
phasize that Foreign Minister Cham
berlain has really committed Great
Britain to nothing except to ne
gotiate with the allies and with
Germany later on concerning the
terms Of the proposed pact.

TrawIer off Norfolk Is Re-
Ported to Have Brought
Up Part of Wealth
by international News Service


NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 13.-The
trawler Spray, loaded with sup
plies, returned to her post at
the scene of. the sunken Ward
liner Merida, off the Virginia
capes early today. The vessel is
engaged in recovering the vast
fortune in gold bullion and jewels
aboard the Merida which was
sunk in a collision about fourteen
years ago.
Among the Sprays supplies are
q machine gun, number of high
power rifles and large caliber re-
volvers and many rounds of am
nutrition to repel possible attacks
Of highjackers, that infest the
Atlantic coast and prey upon rum
runners that fall into their hands.
Watched BY Vessels.
So many reports have been cir.
culated that the Spray actually had
brought up some of the Merida's
treasure from the ocean bed, $50
feet below, that the captain and
crew of the trawler were fearful
for their safety. On a number Of
occasions the treasure hunters
have watched the actions of sus.
picious craft that have hove to
and observed operations.
Efforts to speak with these mys-
terious visitors met with failure,
the Sprays crew stated.
Storms and heavy seas have in
terfered with the work OF recov-
ering the Merida's treasure.
The belief that the Spray has
recovered some of the Merida s
gold was strengthened here today
when 1t was Iearne the trawIer's
captain had bought firearms and
ammunition.
The operations of the Spray,
financed by wealthy PhiIadelphia
and New York sportsmen, amount
to nearly $1,000 day, It Is esti-
mated in marine circles.
