Coast Guard Cutter
ries to Sink Ship
Burning In Atlantic

NEW YORK, March (P).-The coast
guard cutter Seminole began firing on
the burning Spanish steamer Cabo
Hatteras, 40 miles off Ambrose light
tonight, in an attempt to sink her. This
action was taken after hope of saving
the vessel, from which the crew had
been rescued, had been abandoned.
Word of the attempt to sink the
burning ship was received at the local
offices of the Merritt, Chapman &
Scott corporation, whose vessel, the
Relief, had stood by in the hope of be-
ing able to tow the Caco Hatteras in.
The message reported that the Relief
had left the Seminole and had gone to
aid the Spanish steamer, Angela, re-
ported to have machinery trouble $50
miles from the burning ship.
The Angela was reported 800 miles
northeast of Ambrose channel lightship
when the wrecking. steamer Relief left
the burning freighter to go to her aid.
The wrecker will take the crippled
vessel into Boston Harbor if it is found
that the damage to her machinery cam
not be repaired at sea. The Angela
cleared from st. Vincent, Cape Verde
islands, February A. bound for Boston.

81 Members Of Giant
Liquor Ring Indicted
ByFederaL Grand Jury

Stone of the Federalship and every
member OF his crew were indicted
despite their contention that they
were committing no illegal act when
taken in charge by the coast guard
craft in the Pacific's most sensa-
tional rum ship seizure few days
ago. The Federalship is riding at
anchor under heavy guard here with
q cargo OF liquor aboard valued at
more than $1,OO0OOO.
The reimpaneling of the jury,
which had been strenuously opposed
by counsel for Captain Stone ana
the Consolidated Exporters earlier in
the day was effected to make Z,
quick disposition of the pressing
question attending the seizure of the
Federalship. Counsel for these de-
PENDANTS had contended that the jury
had been formally dissolved by court
order last Monday and that there
was nothing in the statutes which
provided for it re-or ganizing. The
re-impanelment was ordered by the
court, however, upon the motion Of
United States District Attorney
George Hatfield.
The indictments place the present
jurisdiction of the Federalshir
squarely under the department of
justice, such jurisdiction having been
in question up to hte time that the
jury decided the case.

DIRECTOR HINES
SAYS VETERANS
PROVIDED
Death of Deficiency Bill
More Inconvenient
Than Injurious

WASHINGTON, March R-After
q hasty fiscal inventory, various
government departments found to.
day that their activities would not
be impaired so seriously, by failure
Ct congress to enact the second de
f;ciency appropriation bill as had
first been feared
While Director Hines announced
the veterans bureau would be able
to go ahead April l., with admins
tration of the bill providing for
loans to veterans on their bonus
certificates, Chairman Madden of the
house appropriations committee, pre-
dicted the death of the deficiency
measure would prove "more Income
venient than Injurious"
The committee chairman said it's
failure might prove "a blessing in
disguise" as many of the proposed
expenditures in the bill were not
urgent, while others simply were to
tide over activities until funds be-
came available at the beginning OF
the new fiscal year, July 1.
The war department, on the other
hand, believed it had found a legal
loophole that would avert a cut OF
$1,000 men in the army's enlisted
strength between now and July, and
the state department was hopeful of
finding way to shift funds so the
recently announced plan for trans
fers in the diplomatic and consular
services would not have to be post
poned. >
Director Hines said that the fail
IRE of congress to provide $4,000, 900
for bonus loans would not materially
cripple carrying out the plan as
funds accruing for investment in
the converted insurance fund at the
1ate of approximately $S,OOO,OOO a
month will be used to make the loans.
These funds formerly were In
vested in farm loan bonds.
The veteran bureau function is sim
ply supplementary to that of the
banks Director Hines said, adding
that loans aggregating $27,OOO,00
already had been handled by them.
In order that the veterans most
needing loansm ay be accommodated
without delay after April L, he is
asking that only those who have
failed to negotiate loans with banks
apply to the bureau.
Loans may be made at any region
al office, or the sub-offices at Ma
Mia and Honolulu, upon a veterans
rromissory note, secured by his adj
justed service certificate. Special
disbursing agents at the veterans
hospital will be authorized to make
loans to hospital patients.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
BILL FOR LEES
FERRY BRIDGE

PHOENIX, March [P-Appropria-
tions for the construction of a bridge
ever the Colorado river at or near
Lees ferry in Coconino county be-
came a reality today, when Gov
ernor Hunt attached his signature
to the original Lees ferry bridge
measure and the supplemental bill
introduced at the request of tho
governor both measures having pass
ed the legislative branches by near
the. emergency clause under which
they became effective with the sig
nature of the governor. The original
measure senate bill 40 by Runke
provides for an appropriation of
S1SO0OO TO match federal appro-
priation OF 100000 and house bill
221, introduced when the governor
threatened to veto the senate meas
ure if additional funds were not ap
propriated, carries provisions for $685.,
900 from the general fund to be
used if needed.
The bridge when completed will
open for traffic a north and south
road via Lees ferry from Arizona
into Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and the
northwest, which will eliminate miles
of travel now necessary to go to
Salt Lake or other northern points.
Two other bills signed by the gov
crnor today, were senate bill a.
providing Tor a $4,000 appropriation
for the erection in the old house Of
representatives in Washington a
statue of the late General John C..
Greenway, and house bill 116 stipu-
lating that county school superin-
tendents must hold certificates to
teach in the state in order to hold

DRY issue IS
SIDE STEPPED
BY DEMOCRATS
Senate Party Leaders De-
eide Against Prohibition
PrOnOuncement

WASHINGTON, March R-After
full and frank discussion, senate dem
ocrats in party conference decided
To-Day against any pronouncement on
the prohibition issues.
In the very nature of the ques-
ton, it can not be made a party
issue, said a statement issued later
by Chairman Robinson, of Arkansas,
summarizing the results of the con-
ference.
1T is recognized that differences
exist in the various states in pc"
.litical subjects and that these diff
ferences respecting prohibition are
not to be regarded as partisan in
nature"
Senators said the discussion of
the subject was quite general and
that while no motion, or resolution.
was acted upon, it seemed to be
practically the unanimous opinion
that the party as a whole ought not
to create the issue, leaving the ques-
tion to the democrats of the various
states.
There were suggestions, senators
added that the whole subject could
be left to the next democratic ma
t:onal convention at which a pres1-
Dental nominee will be chosen and
that there each state would have its
representatives to voice its opinions
and conclusions Presidential cam
Gidates were not mentioned in the
conference, it was stated by parti-
cipants. Senator Glass Of Virginia.
addressed the conference at length
against making prohibition a party
issue. He contended that it was a
state question purely and that it had
no place in the national party plat,
form.
The Virginian explained to the
conference that although he was a
dry and a teetotaler he did not bes
lieve in fanatism or intolerance In
dealing with the question. He con-
tended that adoption of either a wet
or a dry pronouncement would be
certain to lose a bloc of several
states to the party. Prohibition got
into the discussion when the sugges-
ton was made that there be pro-
nouncement restraining Jeffersonian
principles Several senators suggest.
ed that prohibition could not be
ignored in any declaration, but sub
sequently it was fairly well agreed
that the issue was one for the state
themselves.
