NEW YORK, Sept. l3.--From two
sides Of the Atlantic today came re
ports that indicated the sea at last
was yielding secrets of the unsuc
cessfUl transocean flights.
The New York Daily Mirror an.
nounced ii had received from it's
chartered steamer Kyle. cruising
off New Foundlimd, radio mes
sage saying that the wreckage OF
the monoplane Old Glory had been
located.
Dispatches from Newquay, Eng
land, said that the rudder and part
of the wing of an airplane had
floated ashore. First attempts to
Identify the craft from which the
flotsam had come were unavailing
but the monoplanes White Bird. st.
Raphael and Sir John CARING were
mentioned as possibilities.

The message was signed "Muir"

to search for Old Glory and her
crew, Philip A. Payne. Lloyd Ber-

NEWQUAY, England. Sept. l3.-
The rudder and a section of the
wing Of an airplane washed up on

today for examination in the hope
that the craft of which they were
part could be identified.
The rudder was covered with sill
Yer gray fabric. One side of the
wing was painted black and the
other white.
Il was thought possible that the
wreckage came from one of the air
planes forced down at sea in trans
Atlantic flights since officials of
Crowdon Airdrome said they knew
of NJ missing land plane and that
no continental plane was know TO

DISPUTES
ON TRADE:
Kellogg Denies Charges
Filed With League By
Panama Delegate.
TARIFFS BOOSTED
French and English Take
Steps to Offset Demand
for American Goods.
BY LUDWELL DENNY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The
United States government today was
faced with an accommodating series of
diplomatic disputes described by
some as an ''incipient trade war
Major developments include:
1.-The challenge by the Panaman
delegate to the League of Nations of
American sovereignty over the canal
zone arising from Panama s desire
10 control trade in the zone.
2-French discriminatory tariffs,
increasing duties on some American
goods 400 percent.
Am agreement by British steel
producers to pay rebate to domestic
consumers buying only British steel.
Spain, Argentina and other
countries are delaying negotiations
of most favored nation treaties de-
sired by the United States.
5-Such countries as Brazil, Chile
and Argentina are objecting to
American sanitary embargoes
against oranges, potatoes, hay, grapes
and other commodities as disguised
protective tariff walls.
G-European nations generally
have refused to facilitate the work
of American treasury agents inves-
tigation foreign production cost az
provided in the American tariff
law
In the ease of Panama, Secretary
of State Kellogg authorized flat de-
nial of charges made to the leagueI
assembly by Eusebio Morals, Pana.
ma finance minister and signee of |
the 1926 United States Panama
treaty which the Panama assembly,
mas refused to ratify.
Has Full Sovereignty
According to the department 3
statement, this government has fullv
sovereignty and rights over the
canal zone, commercial as well as
military and sanitary, and it re-
cOgnizes no dispute of those rights
or no power of the League of Nat
ions connected with such rights.
France was expected to reply to.
lay to the United States protest
against the precipitate manner in
which the discriminatory rates were
made effective.
While officials are examining the
alleged discriminatory innovation of
british steel rebates to stop pur-
chasing of American goods, it was
generally believed here this govern.
ment can take no effective action
in the case.
Meantime there were evidences

The Aldermans, the police state, denied that there was anything on the floor above. but after some difficulty, the door was opened and the rest of the plant was discovered.
 The third floor of the building was used for counting and asserting the tickets and one room was used for stitching them and mailing them out. Twelve girls were at work on the various operations but none of these was held because they pleaded ignorance of what the tickets were Following the raid the police off ccrs worked several hours in mov- ing out machinery used. Enough stuff was found to fill q tive-ton Mack truck. The goods were stored at the Collins Brothers warehouse at 699 State street and workmen will start today in dismantling the plant
 The equipment seized was of the most modern type and is valued at about $50,000. From appearances the plant represented the headquar- ters of an organized gang operating the lottery ring. The police are looking today for a man said to be the chief of the ring and it is thought that operations might have extended throughout this state and into many others.

 An automobile expedition has been dispatched in the hope of To- eating the party and lowering food to them over cliffs if necessary.
