NATIONS FACE
CRAVE MIDDLE
ON RUM BOAT
State Department to Sift
Case; Wait Canadian
Protest.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
Canadian government took full
charge today OF the inquiry into the
sinking of the suspected rum
schooner I'm Alone off the Louisi-
ana coast last Friday by coast
guard craft.
Vincent Massey, Canadian minis
ter, called at the state department
today to make formal inquiry after
it had been established definitely
Monday night that the schooner
was registered at Lunenburg, N. S.
The British embassy will watch
developments in the incident close
ly, however, to determine whether
the rum-running treaty between the
United States, Great Britain and the
Dominions is involved. Further re-
ports of the British consul general,
it was said, will be submitted direct
ly to the Canadian minister, since
the sunken craft was of Canadian
registry.
dissatisfied with the report OF the
sinking furnished by the treasury,
the state department made further
inquiries in an attempt TO clarity
unspecified points which would bear
upon the right or wrong of the
coast guard action. AS complete
report as is available may be
furnished the Canadian legation
today.
Diplomats and administration Of
ficials are taking a serious view OF
the incident, while surviving mem
bers of the crew and Captain John
r. Randall of the I'm Alone remain
in custody of federal officers at
New Orleans. The I'm Alone crew
today formally was charged with
conspiracy to defeat the tariff act
and held for a hearing before the
United States commissioner at New
Orleans.
Action Is Challenged
Other developments IN the Sltu-
alton are:
l. Diplomatic officials informally
challenged the action of the cutter
and intimated joint Canadian
English protest would be made to
the state department.
2. Secretary of Treasury Andrew
j. Mellon, under whom the coast
guard operates, upheld the cutter
Dexter and Walcott which partici-
pated in the chase and sinking of
the I'm Alone
3. Frank B. Kellogg, secretary of
state, explained the state depart
ment would have to examine the
facts before deciding whether the
Dexter and Walcott had violated in
ternational law.
4. International law books con-
tanned a partial precedent in which
, the British government had
acquiesced in seizure of law vio-
lator outside the prescribed limit
when the vessel was connected with
the shore by small boats.

'STICKER' RULE
PUT BACK IN
SAFETY BOARD
Amendment Pending Two
Months Passed to
End SnarI.

Responsibility for cancellation OF
police traffic stickerS was back in
the hands of the board of safety
today.
City council finally passed the
traffic code amendment which has
been pending for two months. The
council has had several closed con-
ferences with Mayor L. Ert Slack
and the safety board on the prob
lem.
The amended ordinance provides
that the city traffic bureau make
reports on the second Tuesday OF
each month, giving details of the
number of stickers issued, total fines
paid, the number to court and dis
position of those not accounted for"
The code as originally passed pro-
vided that the city clerk make
monthly reports to city council on
the number of stickers Cancelled.
Some city officials felt the council
was 'meddling" in an admin
istrative matter and should confine
their attention to Legislation"
Council intended to stop the prac-
tice of cancelling stickers for favor
ties. A few days of the new ordi-
nance brought to light many
emergency" situations which the
police department felt were unfair.
Police refused to cancel stickers as
they had done heretofore, despite
councils contention that they had
the same authority under the new
ordinance.
A group of through" streets was
eliminated for the sake Of economy
in buying stop signs. Heavy trucks
of live stock we're forbidden in the
congeSted area.
Another traffic ordinance amend
ment defines the term person"
making corporations, companies and
other business firms responsible for
the acts of drivers. This amendment
was to enable prosecutors to obtain
convictions against joint-owners OF
automobiles.

Confusion in Arguments

Diplomatic authorities contended
the right of search and seizure out
side the treaty limit was not con-
ferred by the treaty unless the
chase began within the three-mile
limit and was continued as a "hot
pursuit" to y1e point where the de-
tending craft was overhauled.
Confusion results from the fact
that while interested diplomats dis
cuss the case in its relation to the
three-mile limit, Mellon discussed
no relation of the twelve-mile limit
which was created by a customs act
of some years ago, but which the
United Press is informed, the Brit
iSh and Canadians never have rec
ognized.
In addition, there is the limit set
up in the liquor treaties which say
search and seizure may occur within
any distance from shore the Sus-
: pected vessel could sail or steam in
one hour or any distance which
could be covered by confederate
small boat in one hour
Three Courses Open
Three possible courses lay open
to Canadian and British officials to-
day The way:
l. Drop the matter.
2. Protest formally merely in or
der to prevent a precedent which
might prove troublesome in the fu-
ture::
8. Protest and demand damages
and reparations for the loss of the
craft and the death of seaman.
This latter course eventually
would throw the entire matter be-
fore congress, which would be re-
quired to appropriate any sum
which might be fixed for damages
and reparations.

Canada Enters Dispute

S. Several undetermined questions
regarding anti-smuggling legislation
and treaties appeared destined for
settlement in the international ex-
changes expected o. er The I'm Alone
incident.
6. Diplomats concerned as well as
American authorities, apparently ac-
cepted as fact that I'm Alone was
a rum boat engaged in supplying
small boats off the American coast.
7. Canada's entry into the sit
uation as the aggrieved party in
place of Great Britain was held by
some observers to mean a more
vigorous protest might be lodged
than would have been the case if
only London were concerned.
Mellon and British and Canadian
diplomats clearly were in disagree
ment today as to the rights con-
ferred by the identical liquor
smuggling treaties in force between
the United States and Canada and
Great Britain.

UNDIRECTED NAH.
 CONTAINS MONEY
Dead Letter Office Enriched by
 Careless Gift SeDders

Generosity as manifested by the Chflstmas spirit, coupled with
 haste and carelessness helps make
 the dead letter office pay" Post master II. E. Erwin remarked as
 he opened two letters at the post office today. The letters were not addressed nor stamped. There was nothing 10 indicate for whom they were intended nor from whom they came. Their contents revealed no more information than did the out side of the blank envelopes. Money, cash for Christmas gifts, was all the envelopes held.
 "Unusual? Well l should say not. We are getting enormous quantities of letters and post cards without stamps or proper address. We do not stop to count them. Every day we send them out to the dead let ter office, Christmas gifts, Christ mas greeting cards, personal mes sages, packages, parcels, letters and cards of all kinds. People are rush ing their mail out in too much haste. It's better 10 take a little more time and make sure the mail reaches it's destination than 10 rush it out in a hurry and get nowhere but the dead letter office.
 To-day or tomorrow is the last chance to mail parcels with any as- surance that they will be delivered on time. Many local persons have sent out their packages but many more still have theirs to send. They ought to be in the mails now.
 With the heavy storms in yari- ous sections of the country it is all together logical to assume that mails from the west have been de- layed. It is likely we will be flooded with an accumulation of parcels and letters Monday from junction points now rapidly becoming 
 Asked about the volume of mail, both incoming and outgoing, the postmaster said it is approximately tlc same as al tlilS idte last year. This volume. which approximates quarter of a million pieces a day, is being handled as rapidly as it comes in and there is no accumu- lation at the post office, he said.
 At 10 o'clock this morning all mail which came in over night to tho main post office was sorted.
 The regular working force has been augmented about 20 per cent, making almost 100 carriers and clerks on the job. Seven trucks now delivering parcels are expected 10 be increased 10 10 or F by Monday.
