SHIP SEIZURE CASE
BASED ON TREATY
Supreme Court May Interpret
British Liquor Pact in
Operators Appeals.

Interpretation Of the British liquor
treaty of 1924 by the Supreme Court
Is now asked in a case arising out
of the seizure two years ago of the
British vessel Quadra off the Cali
fornia coast.
Counsel for George Ford and others
convicted under conspiracy charges
for violating the Volstead and tariff
acts by the operation of the vessel
contended in oral argument yester-
day that under the treaty Great
Britain consented only to confiscation
or Its vessels when found violating
the laws within one hours sailing
of shore. Further. he held the treaty
did not confer upon American courts
1urlsdlction to punish British sub
5ects found upon such vessels or
charged with being parties to a con.
spiracy for the operation Of such
vessels. =
Admits Having Rum Cargo.
1t was admitted, however, that the
Quadra sailed from Vancouver laden
with liquor owned by the Consolidated
Exporters Corporation of Canada, and
took a position in the neighborhood
OF the Farallone Islands, outside Of
the S'm1le limit, for the purpose of
selling liquor to boats from shore
running into Oakland Creek, San
Francisco.
Counsel for the Quadra crew, al.
ready convicted in the lower Federal
courts, asserted the ship was outside
the territorial jurisdiction Of the
United States when seized, and that
the Government had failed to prove
1t was within one hour OF shore.
Court Seems Unimpressed.
Questions by the court indicated
that several Of It's members were not
impressed by the arguments present.
ed by counsel for the appellants,
Justice Sutherland asked what Great
Britain had done, if anything, in the
way of objecting to such prosecutions
of its subjects and was advised that.
seemingly, it had made no vigorous
protest.
The Government is expected to con.
tend that Great Britain intended to
permit American courts not only to
condemn it's vessels and seized LIQUOR
laden within one hour of the Ameri.
can coast, but also to try those sub
Jects charged with operating such
craft.

Hartford Court Judge Con- demns Alleged Lax
 Methods

Hartford, Conn, April 27 P- Judge Nathan A. Schatz, in police court today, sharply criticized the manner in which the state farm for inebriates at Norwich is conducted.
 They run that place like hotel at no profit to any one" declared the court after hearing the stories of two men presented today on charges Of drunkenness. One of them nd- mitted that he walked away" from the farm after a s y of two or three weeks when he was committed for six months. The other prisoner ar raigned this morning was discharged from the farm last January after R brief stay following a six months commitment, The court. however, was not notified of this action until last week.
 II appeared 10 the cour. that the guests" occasionally got tired of the hotel" and at other times those in charge tired of the guests. There is no restraint" the court found.
 It was learned today that a for mer police court judge had commit ted two drug addicts convicted Of theft 10 the state farm for year and that they walked away after two days. Al that time, the pre- siding judge addressed a letter to the farm authorities criticizing them for permitting such an occurrence. Judge Schatz today directed a couri officer 10 address similar com- expressing his view con. cerning th1 way in which the farm is conducted.

Washington, April 27 P) The board of public morals of the Meth odist Episcopal church through Its publicity organization, puts the re- suit of the recent senate wet and dry hearings this way:
 Well. the hearings are over. and we are back just about where We were when the thing started. The vets haven't the votes and they can not get the votes without convincing the people, and they haven't the facts with which the people are to be convinced.
 "So prohibition probably will stay a little while longer, and let's hope that all good citizens, no matter what their personal opinions as 10 the law, will stand squarely hack Of the law until it is repealed, if ever"
 The statement said there was no real necessity for the hearings, but that the vets insisted so that they could "use the opportunity as a ve- hicle for propaganda" Senator Reed, Of Missouri. who did most of the cross-examining, came in for comment. the drvs in sisting that much of his questioning seemed to be trivial. i
