FASHIONABLE DINERS
ATTACK DRY AGENTS
Use Chairs and Bottles When New
York Night Club Is Raided.
Officers Draw Guns.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Attacked
with chairs and bottles early today,
two Federal prohibition agents, at
tempting to make arrests in the ex-
elusive night club. Trocadero, on
F'ifty-frst street, were compelled to
draw their guns to subdue fashionable
diners.
The agents, William J. Mckay AMI
Michael Sassi, in evening clothes AMI
tortoise-shell glasses, paid $40 for a
pitcher of champagne. They grabbed
the waiter. The manager, Frank Gal
lesco, is said to have interfered In
an instant the place was in an up
roar. Women screamed, while men
in dress suits tore blackjacks from
the agents hands. The latter succeed
ed in arresting the head waiter, AL
bino Scaroni, and the manager only
after threatening to shoot.
Many such clubs as the Trocadero
have been padlocked in the last few
months at the instigation of Federal
Attorney Buckner, who started his
service in Office by spending $500
of his own money through fashiona-
BILE friends for champagne. Admis-
sion to these gilded clubs in the
Roaring Forties is usually denied to
those unknown to the management,
which takes precautions through peep
holes.

NEW RUM-RUNN|NG
ROUTE IS DISCLOSED
BY LIQUOR SEIZURE
Evidence That Great Stock
Is Received at Maine
Ports Is Found.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, May 22.-With the seizure
here today of a large quantity of high
quality liquor which formed a part of
the cargo of the steamer Van from
Jonesport, Me-, Federal authorities
began investigation of an alleged new
rum-running route from Canada over
the international boundary TO Maine
ports. From Maine the officials be-
leve the liquor is shipped to all parts
of the country in merchandise pack
ages.
The Van carried 1854 cases of as
sorted liquors, valued at $50, 900, said
to be the largest haul in Boston Har-
Dor. The cases containing the liquor
were labeled as sea food
Eleven members of the crew, includ-
ing Robert Holiday of Spokane,
Wash, were arrested. Police say the
liquor was destined for two we'll
known clubs in the Back Bay district
The steamer usually plies on the Bos-
ton-Graselli route
500 Cases of Scotch Taken.
Included in the seizure today, said
to be the largest haul of genuine i'm
ported liquor on record OF this port,
were 500 cases of Scotch whisky pack
ed in regular fish boxes. The seizure
also included a quantity of English
ale. Capt. Mclean of Everett, master
of the vessel, and IS members of the
crew were arrested.
Customs agents believe that most of
the liquor cargo was unloaded here
and reshipped before the raid, and an
effort is being made to trace it to
destination. The Van unloaded a part
of her cargo and then moved to an
other wharf where she was raided
early today.
Advices from Bangor, Me-, today
said that prohibition officials of the
northern Maine area had heard that
bootleggers whose efforts at sea had
been blocked by the Coast Guard cam
paign were using the land route in the
sparsely settled boundary district and
delivering their wares at Maine ports
for shipment elsewhere.

PARIS, May % CP.-The French

Details were not revealed. but 1t Is

BELGIAN CABINETS
FALL AFFECTS DEBT
Delay in Negotiations for
Paying U. S. Regarded
as Inevitable.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A definite delay in the funding of
the Belgian debt to the United States
is seen here in the overthrow today of
the Belgian cabinet, which had given
assurances that negotiations were to
begin in the very near future.
While there has been no indica tion
that the trip to Brussels of the Bel.
gian Ambassador to Washington
might be delayed because of the de.
velopment, it is realized elections must
be held and that a new government
must have time to get its bearings
before embarking on an undertaking
Of such magnitude as the debt ques.
ton presents.
The action of the retiring Van de
Vyvere ministry in proposing a long
term settlement affecting only pre-
armistice loans Is not viewed here
with approval. The position of the
United States has been announced
and REITERATED as being that there is
no reason why all loans made in the
war period and Immediately thereafter
should not be consolidated in funding
negotiations.
CailIaux Drafts Budget.
Paris dispatches declaring Finance
Minister Caillaux has drawn up his
budget plans, involving possible with.
drawals for .interallied debts, were re
ceived with interest by officials, but
without comment.
Poland has provided new impetus to
the debt question by delivering to the
Treasury bonds totaling s178.560,00C
in exchange for the original notes given
by it in purchasing relief and surplus
war supplies. Minister Wroblewski
handled the transaction, which pro-
vides for semi-annual payments over
a 62-year period, or until the debt Is
liquidated.
New assurance that France will
meet it's debt was seen in accounts OF
an address yesterday by Premier
Painleve. He told an audience that
France will keep its financial obliga-
tions. both abroad and at home, and
the statement was construed as an in
dication of policy, prior to the meeting
next Monday of the Chamber of Depu-
ties.
The Polish settlement was approved
by Congress last December, but final
steps involving the exchange of the
old for the new securities were tenn.
porarily delayed. With this exchange.
however, the settlement terms became
operative.

US. MARINE NEEDS
AID, PALMER SAYS
Subsidy or Buying Tonnage
Abroad Suggested to Cham
Der of Commerce.

American shipowners are under two
financial handicaps in competition
with fleets under foreign flags one In
tangible and the other tangible, and
the only way to provide for a stable
merchant marine under the Stars and
Stripes is to adopt some means of re-
moving the tangible one, Admiral
Leigh c. Palmer, president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, told the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States today.
Admiral Palmer analyzed exhaus-
lively the business troubles of Amer.
lean shipping, but left to the Cham.
Der of Commerce the task of selecting
from the two remedial policies he out
lined or Of devising a new policy.
Subsidy II One Suggestion.
The two possible procedures he sug.
gested were a direct or indirect sub
sidy or a free ship policy under which
Americans could buy vessels from for.
eign shipyards and sail them under
the American flag.
The tangible handicap ne defined as
a heavy dinerential in costs and the
Intangible as being due to the disad.
vantage OF American shippers, be.

BUSINESS ST|FLED
BY TAX, GARY SAYS
Present Rates Still Far Too
High, He Tells Iron and
Steel Institute.
BY the Associated Press.


, NEW YORK, May 22.-Business
generally sorely needs and therefore
respectfully demands lower rates of
taxation, Ebert H. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation,
declared in an address on The Dis.
eases of Business" at the annual meet
ing of the American Iron and Steel
Institute today.
Although business men are crate.
full for what already has been done
and attempted in the matter Of re-
lieving the tax burden, they still feel
that taxes are much too high, whether
levied by national, state or municipal
agencies, he said Income and in
heritance taxes. he added, were espe,
cially burdensome.
I'VE know by personal experience
or at least by the statements of re-
liable business men" he asserted, that
business activities have been decreased
and not infrequently abandoned as the
result Of the heavy burdens of tax
alton. This subject has been dis.
cussed with vigor and force by the
President and members of his cabinet,
and we indorse all that they have said.
Persons who have been unreasonably
standing for high and higher taxes
do not realize that they are building
up conditions which have beer, or will
be detrimental to themselves
Room for Improvement.
Comparing the iron and steel busi-
ness in the United States today with
pre-war conditions, Mr.. Gary said that
the industry was prosperous, yet in
some respects not entirely satisfactory
and not quite as good as it ought to be
considering the underlying conditions
of the country.
Notwithstanding it has been the
inclination and effort of the leaders in
this industry or many of them at least,
as far as they legitimately could, to
encourage stability and confidence -
he said, there are witnessed from
time to time fluctuations and hesita-
tions In the natural progress of bust
ness that are unreasonable and un.
called for. This is to be deplored. 1t
is unhealthy and adversely affects
the whole business structure"
Forecasting the future trend of bust
ness, MIR. Gary pointed out that steel
was not luxury, but a necessity, and
that its purchase became more and
H0ore imperative. The steel business
in the future should be good and fairly
profitable, he predicted, though inter
ruptions and temporary declines in
volume will be natural and also health
full.
Urges Fair Prices.
Prospective buyers may postpone
their purchases, he said, but when
they do, their needs pile up, and it is
only question of time when the de-
mand reaches a point where delivery
cannot in some instances promptly be
made. Then purchasing will come
with rush. All this we know from
experience. II at any time it is be.
lieved prices Of our commodities are
