Messages Protesting
 Use of Poison Arrive

Washington, Jan. 6 LP)-Messages protesting and approving the dena- turing of industrial alcohol with poiscn ingredients are flooding the treasury and a formal statement to be used in reply to all, is being pre- pared.
 The answer, it is understood, will roiterate the view of Secretary Mel lon that wood alcohol should be eliminated as a denaturant when a proper substitute is discovered.
 In regard to the senate's request for any correspondence received from Wayne B. Wheeler, of the anti-saloon league relating to use of wood alcohol as a denaturant, it was said today at the treasury depart ment that apparently there was no such correspondence.
 Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief of the prohibition service, is prepar- ing the alcohol statement, and he is seeking all the records in connection with recent deaths on account of drinking, which it is believed by the treasury will show that wood alco hol was not a factor.

COAST GUARD BOAT
 AIDED RUM FLEET
Acted as Lookout, According
 to Witness

New York, Jan. 6 PAA jury in federal court was told today how a coast guard cutter turned rum run ner, played lookout for the rum row criminals it was supposed to hunt, conveyed rum ships to protect them from other coast guard craft. and acted as ferry for the employees of rum syndicate bringing liquor from Canada.
 William R. Hughes, former ma chinist on the c. G. 126 and one of 3 3men indicted in connection with an international liquor syndicate said to have been headed by Edward and Frank Costello and Edward and Frank Kelly, took the stand against IS of his alleged confeder- ates as a government witness.
 Hughes himself is among 15 of those indicted who had their cases severed from the present trial. AL though 13 of the 33e indicted were members of the coast guard only three of them are defendants in the present action.
 Hughes said that after the crew of the (. G. 126 had come to terms with the rum runners it was con- stantiy employed in conveying liquor laden fishing vessels from rum row to shore to ward off interference by other guardsmen.
 On several occasions he said, the c. C.. 126 acted as ferry taking su- percargoes of the rum TOW ships back and forth between land and liquor mother ships" One of those supercargoes. William R. Newman, who later became a secret agent for A. Bruce Bielaski, under cover" prohibition chief. preceded Hughes on the stand as a witness.
 Of the work of the coast guard boat az an actual rum runner Hughes cited a trip from rum row in which the c. G. 126 carried more than 300 eases of liquor ashore, landing them near Montauk, Long Island.
 Hughes Said the c. G. 126 was stationed as a patrol boat at rum row and kept lookout for the crew of the three masted schooner Vim cent White, on which Newman was supercargo, while liquor was loaded on smaller boats. On one occasion, he said, two fishing vessels had just started to take 1000 cases of whis- key aboard when a coast guard de- stroyer hove in sight.
 A warning was flashed to the Vim ed away until the destroyer, after the captain had conversed with the crew of the C. G. 126 left the spot.

APPROVES SALE OF GOVERNMENT FLEET
Even Loss Would Be Desirable
 Deal, Wood Says

Washington. Jan. 6 R-Sale of the government owned merchant fleet to private operators would be wise mo matter what the loss," in the opinion of Representative Wood republican, Indiana.
 His view was set forth in hear ings made public today on the in- dependent offices appropriation bill by the sub b-committee of which he is chairman.
 It would be good thing. he told Chairman O'Connor of the shipping board, to get rid of the ships If you gentlemen have any policy with ref erence to disposing of these vessels. and if in the long run you could get them into the hands of people who were honestly intent on operat- ing them and maintaining a mer. chant marine
 The country today lacks a definite merchant marine policy. he declar- ed, adding that ''it is one of the disappointments and one of the shames of the American government that we ever were despoiled of a merchant marine"
 Chairman O'Connor replied that nobody will say that we have not made an honest and intelligent ef- fort' to dispose of the government fleet. "We have carried out the law" he added, ''as far as it could be carried out in endeavoring to get those vessels into private hands. We have offered all kinds of induce ments to companies and to men to buy tine ships. Nobody wants to buy"
 Until further authority is granted by congress, he said, the boards pol icy is to have the government op- crate the ships until they can be dis posed of to private individuals. He estimated the value of the entire fleet, including 300 inactive ships, at .S136, 7,OO0.
 Touching on the financial loss of government operation. Mir. O'Connor said that while the board estimated an operating deficit of about S17,500, 900 in 1926, that does not represent a penny of loss."

WHEELER ID PROBE
 KELL0GG'S STORY
To Call A. P. Writer to Obtain
 Its Source

Washington, Jan. 6 Pl-The for today by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, to investigate whether the state department was authority for the Associated Press dispatch of November IT, which said that "the specter of a Mexican-fostered bol- shevist hegemony intervening be- tween the United States and the Panama canal" had thrust itself in to American-MeXican relations.
 Reading on the senate floor the statement of Secretary Kellogg on that subject,s the Montana senator urged that the committee call rep resentatives of the Associated Press, the International News service and the United Press for questioning as to the source of the dispatches.
 If it be true" Senator Wheeler said, that the state department has been giving out loose propaganda for the purpose of stirring up the people of this country against a friendly nation, the people are en- titled to know 1t, and if such is the case MT. Kellogg should not remain as secretary of state."
 The Kellogg statement referred to was in the form of letter to the house foreign affairs committee, re- plying to a resolution of inquiry by Representative La Gual dia, repub- lican. New York. In it the secre- tary answered negatively a question whether the state department "on or about the 17th day of Novem- her 1926, sought to use the various news agencies to put out information on conclusions in regard to Mexico without assuming responslolllty therefor.'
