MAY CLARITY SITUATION
Admiral Billiard Thinks I'm Alone"
Incident Will Bring About
Clearer Understanding

According to Washington Associated
Press dispatch of March 81, differences
between the United States and Great
Britain over Interpretation of the 1924
rum smuggling treaty are likely to be
clarified as one outcome of the sinking
of the Canadian schooner, I'm Alone
200 miles off the Louisiana coast, March
%, by an American patrol boat.
Pending study Of complete official re-
ports no formal action is expected. Rear
Admiral F. c. Billiard, commandant OF
the coast guard believes that only few
changes are needed to make the rum
smuggling treaty more effective. These,
he suggests, might include an agreement
under which the government would re-
quire ships using their ports to furnish
proof that their cargoes were delivered
at the points designated in their clearance
papers.
American benefits under the treaty
would be nullifed, he believes, if the
right to pursue suspected vessels were re-
stricted to one hours sailing distance
from the coast or the implied right to use
force in exercising the search and seizure
privilege were restrained.

FAKE STAMPS AND LABELS
Pittsburgh Police Seize Counterfeit
Stamps, Labels, and Bottles
Which Make Basement Booze"
Imported Stuff

Pittsburgh police, March %, raided two
places and seized counterfeit revenue
stamps and bottles valued at $50 900.
Thirteen arrests were made in connection
with these raids. The Pittsburgh Post
Gazette says while the police were eX-
aiming the bottles and stamps the tele-
phone kept ringing Each time it was
some bootlegger asking for a delivery of
bottles. The brand was specified, some
ordering with corks, others without
corks.
Some of the brands named on the
labels were local, while others were inn
ported. Included in the labels were Old
Overholt, Tom Booth Gin from London,
Piccadilly Club London Gin, Golden
Wedding, Canadian Rye
1t is upon such bottles and labels as
these that otherwise intelligent men base
their faith that the poisonous home
made booze for which they are paying
exorbitant prices is genuine imported
stuff.

RUM TREATY INVOLVED
Sinking of Canadian Rum Boat May
Result in Formal Discussion of
Rum Treaty of 1924

An Associated Press dispatch carrying
an Ottawa date line of April 4 says that
the sinking of the Canadian schooner
I'm Alone" by United States coast guard
vessels has been the subject of formal
representations by the government Of
Canada to the United States, according
to a statement to the House by Premier
King. He said the correspondence would
be made public in due course.
A Washington dispatch under the same
date says that this action by the Ca
madam government is interpreted by I'M
official and diplomatic circles as a move
on the part of the Canadians to bring the
anti-rum smuggling treaty of 1924 up for
formal discussion.
It is pointed out that number of
divergent views are held by officials of
the two governments on just what points
the treaty covers and it has been known
for some time that both the British and
Canadian governments, in connection
with previous rum running incidents,
have been anxious to discuss the divergent
points with the Americans.
Tt is believed that the Canadians now
are more interested in the principles of
the case with regard to the treaty than
they are with the actual sinking.
The unofficial Canadian view in the
case will be predicated on three points.
These are:
Whether the pursuit of suspected YES
sci can be carried outside the one-hour
limit of the treaty;
The nature of the pursuit, namely,
whether the fact that the I'm Alone"
was sunk by another vessel than that
which began the pursuit constitutes con
tinuous and hot pursuit."
Whether the offense of the I'm Alone"
justified the violent action Of sinking her
when she refused to surrender to the
coast guard
1t is apparent the Canadians in making
their representations feel that the reports
which they received from the British
consul in New Orleans and the prelimi-
nary reports of the American government
were insufficient for their case, as it is
known that all reports have not yet been
received by the state department, and
consequently have not been transmitted
to Ottawa.

WANT IT FOR MEDICINE

An attempt is being promoted in Illi-
nois by the enemies of the Eighteenth
Amendment to recover state Jurisdiction
over medicinal liquors, sacramento
wines, industrial alcohol and non-intoxi-
eating beverages.
An unconscious endorsement of the
comparatively successful enforcement of
prohibition is found in this effort which
is sponsored by the Illinois Association
Opposed to Prohibition The straits to
which the enemy are driven in their at
tempts to nullify this constitutional pro-
vision also testifies to their abandonment
of hope of securing the necessary popular
support for its amendment or repeal.

Joseph Rossin, Ecorse (Detroit), liquor
baron March 27 forfeited $4,000 bonds
because he feared arrest on a new charge

Only four have been captured and the

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the re-
suits of constipation for Al years,
and believed that no matter how
careful people are of their
health, diet and exercise, con-
stipation will occur from time to
time regardless of how much one
tries to avoid it. OF next i'm
portance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DR.. Caldwell
always was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence
his remedy for constipation,
known as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin, is a mild vegetable COM
pound. It can not harm the
most delicate system and is not
a habit forming preparation.
Syrup PepSin is pleasant tasting,
and youngsters love it. It does
not grippe. Thousands Of mothers
have written us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve
of drastic physics and purges.
He did not believe they were
good for human beings to put
into their systems. In a practice
of Al years he never saw any
reason for their use when a.
medicine like Syrur Pepsin will
empty the bowels just as
promptly, more cleanly and
gently, without gripping and
harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation!
It robs your strength, hardens
your arteries and brings on
premature old age. Do not let

why didn't he bring it himself?"
The boy grinned.
Because he knows you, sir--that's
what he said. He's been over the hills"
"Over the hills" in the argot of the
class Dick understood best, meant penal
servitude, and the reluctance of the un-
known emissary was understandable.
"Fould's wharf? Do you know where
1t is?"
Yes sir, it's near Dockhead; it is a
wood wharf. I've been fishing there
lots of times"

He passed pound note to the youth,

The car stopped at the yard to col
lect as many officers as were available.
It stopped again when they crossed
London Bridge, and picked up local
detective sergeant who knew the place.
Yes. it is wharf attached to an
old warehouse-one Of the few stage
wharves on the river"
What do you mean by stage wharf'?"
asked Dick. - -,
1T is built out over the water on
piles, and hasn't, as is the case with
most wharves, a stone and brick front"
They traversed dismal road, Skirted
the dock, where the high masts of sea-
going ships showed over the wall, and
once they sped under huge bowsprit
that topped the wall, spanning the
narrow street Presently the detective
leaned across to the chauffeur.
This is the place." he said "I think
we can dispense with the boy now,

The small boy, to his bitter disap-
pointment, was dropped, and the men.
passing down a steep declivity, came to
an old gate. which they had no diff
Guilty in scaling.
They were on an untidy cart track
that led by the side of a building, and
ahead Shannon saw the glitter Of the
river. Turning the corner, a cold.
northerly wind made them pull their
coats tighter.
"The wharf proper is to the right"
The detective sergeant indicated a
dreary expanse of wooden staging that
thudded hollowly under Shannon's feet
as he walked to the edge of the crazy
structure and looked down at the water.

When Is Capt. Shannon coming back?"
He is searching the warehouse now
said the local sergeant.
Dicks inspection of the warehouse
added very little to his knowledge He
found the main door unlocked, but no
sign of his assailant. There were sew
ersl underground apartments where the
man might have been kept prisoner.
He found one which communicated
with the street, and 1t was here that
he discovered something even more
important. At the foot OF the flight
Of stone steps leading down to the
basement he saw a green-labeled car
ton and picked 1t up. It was the card
board for an automatic pistol, and was
obviously that which was missing from
the box in Marshalt's storeroom when
ne had made his cursory inspection.
He handed 1t to Steel without a word.
"Malpas is here. somewhere" whis-
pered the detective, and looked round
nervouSly.
II think not" said Shannon quietly.
"Our friend only takes one shot a
night"
He glanced up at the ladder-like
stairs heading to the upper part of the
warehouse.
IT hardly think it is worth while
searching upstairs. I'll ask the SER
geant to do so tomorrow morning."
The man who stood by a gap which
had once been window in the upper
part of the building heard this decision
with relief. It saved him from the risk
which would follow a Jump In the dark
He gave Dick Shannon very good

where did that come from9" he
asked.
1T certainly didn't come from the

more like somebody shouting from the
river"
They stood for a moment. listening
and presently they heard 1t again-a
low moaning, and then:
Help! For Gods. sake, help!"
"It came from underneath the stag
ing" said Dick suddenly.
He ran to the edge of the wharf and
looked down. The tide was rising; II
was only few feet below him. A little
to his right he saw boat, and feeling
his way over the side, he dropped into
the bottom.
"Help!" This time the voice was
nearer. 4#E
Peering under the stage, ne thought
he saw movement In the black
depths.
Where are you?" he shouted.
I'm here!"
1t was Lacy Marshalt's voice!
There were no oars in the boat, and
untying the painter, he pulled himself
along by the aid of the staging until
he came opposite the point where the
voice had sounded. With his hand
lamp he began to search, and after
8. second it rested upon the CHASTITY
face of Marshall. The man was up to
his shoulders in water. His hands
which were held above his head, seemed
to be fastened to the pile.

Dick snapped back the button. As
he did so there were two quick re-
ports. Shannon'S hat flew of; he had
burning pain in his left ear. and for
moment he let go his hold on the
staging and the boat drifted. Drop
ping down to his knees, he padded 1t
back with his hands, and the. next
moment Steel came over the edge and
was by his side.
Get out your gun and put your
light on" said Dick as he guided the
boat forward amid the labyrinth OF
rotting props. And when you see q

In another second they were UP with
Marshall. A chain was padlocked about
his waist: his wrists, fastened by rusty
handouts, were fixed to q staple hign
above his head. 1t was clear that il
he were left In this position another
ten minutes nothing could have saved
him.
"A handcuff key, quick! Have you
one, Steel?"
Yes, SIR
In a second the cuffs were Ioosened,
and then Dick turned his attention ia
the paddock. He had to work in the
dark, while Steel searched the dark
ness with his lamp for the man who
had fired the shot. At the back Of the
staging a wall showed, covered with
green weeds, and three rusty iron bars
that looked like the top of a grating.
1t was on this opening that Steel con-
centrated his attention, his pistol
raised ready to shoot. Nothing ap-
peared, however, and after three min
utes' work Marshall slipped down
with groan of relief and was hauled
into the boat.
