O'Connor Says Cost Will Not Stand
I'm Way of Deal.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May IA (A.P9

ping Board vessels, provided the
price was reasonable. T. V. O'Connor,
chairman of the board, said last night.
The price will not stand in the way
as long as the boats are going into
American hands and will fly the Amer
lean flag"
Mr.. O'Connor explained that the
price would be fixed by negotiations.
In regard to the statement of mem.
bers of the Shipping Board at Wash.
ington, that they had no knowledge Of
the proposed sale and did not know
that Mr.. O'Connor had stopped at
Detroit, Mr.. O'Connor said that some
of the members of the board knaw
of his purpose, but that 1t had not
been brought up at board meeting.
The first inkling of the conference
with Ford was given by Mr.. O'Connor
in a speech on the steamer Greater
Buffalo on Tuesday night to the Buff
falo and Detroit delegation that was
accompanying that boat on it's maiden
trip from Detroit to Buffalo.
In his address, Mr.. O'Connor said
that he was not concerned over the
price to be received for the boats.
1t might be but 81 or 81 a ton. The
essential thing, he said, was to have
the boats in American hands to be
operated under the American flag. He
did not mention Mr.. Ford by name.
but remarked that he had conferred
with a prominent Detroit citizen whose
identity might be guessed, for the
purpose of interesting him in buying
the boats of the Shipping, Board. He
indicated that the conference might
be expected to bear fruit.

PRICE JUMPS IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May ii A.PD.-The
price of liquor, going up in New York.
is going down in California. The rea-
son is the dry navy's blockade of the
East coast rum row.
Many of the ships. unable to do
business here, have sailed for the Pa
cific coast, where customers are re-
ported to be bringing loads ashore
regularly and without difficulty.
Some estimates place the value of
whisky landed in and around San
Diego within the past As hours at
more than 100000. AS a result the
bottom has fallen out of the gin mar
ket in California. Scotch is reported
to be selling for 81 a quart in Los
Angeles, compared with previous
prices of Sc 10 SO. Two cutters are
reported as unable to cope with six
rum ships of Southern California.
New York newspapers say that
though liquor is still plentiful here II
is coming from reserve stocks. and
wholesale prices have gone up $40 TO
SIS a case ashore since the blockade
started. The World says that cham
payne, which formerly sold at SIS
or $50 case, now costs 500. Rye
whisky is very rare and Scotch Is as
high as $50 a case.
Japan Seeks Treaty.
Passibly bearing on future action
against the Pacrc coast rum row
are Toxic dispatches saying that
Japan is negotiating a liquor treaty
with the United States. giving Jap
anese ships the right to bring liquor
into port under certain 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 are that the
blockade of the Atlantic rum row con-
tinues to be effective, the first case
of gunfire since the blockade started
has developed. New York's marine
police report that Coast Guard fired
at small boat, presumably one re.
garded as a rum smuggler, at the
harbor entrance.
Contraband liquor worth about
$750,0C0 seized by Federal agents as
long ago as 1921 and ordered destroy
ed by the court is still in the Army
base warehouse, in Brooklyn, it has
been learned
United States Marshal Jesse b.
Moore said that the axe had not been
put to the liquor because he and his
men have been overworked.
