Ends 1mpasse
 In Canadian Legislature

Quebec, April 3~-Henry U. Car roll. vice chairman of the Queber liquor commission and former Do minion cabinet minister has been appointed lieutenant governor to succeed the late Sir Lomer Gouin.
 The appointment cleared the way for the propagation of the legislature and royal assent to numerous inl- portant measures passed during the last few days of the session. Sir Lomers death, which occurred as he as about to prorogue the session. brought about a political impasse. although the administration was not greatly inconyenienced because suf- fcient funds were available to pay salaries and session grants without drawing upon the resources to be authorized in bills awaiting royal assent.
 Mir. Carroll vas selected at a meet ing of the Dominion cabinet yester- day. He was to be sworn into office today and the legislature will be prorogued tomorrow at the latest.
 The new lieutenant governor, who will be the third incumbent of that office within year, is 63 years old. He played a prominent part in the organization of the Quebec liquor commission.

BUSH YIELDS CLUE
 ID MISSING PLANE
Australian Mission Reports
 Trace Of Southern Gross

Sydney, New South Wales. April . R)-One clue came out Of the wild Australian bush today to guide searchers for the airplane Southern Cross." vanished since March Sl with Captain Charles h1ngsforj- Smith and three companions who were on the first lap of flight to England.
 The Drysdale river mission station this morning sisnailed Captain Cha teau, Australian royal air force avi- ator. out on a searching expedition, that an airplane had passed over the station on March 31 heading south- west This was the day on which the Southern Cross should have passed that way.
 It is the slenderest of threads to the vast labyrinth of the western Australia bush. one of the most sa"- age stretches of country left on the habitablc part Of the earth. but t is the first definite trace of the four tliers since they literally vanished into the air after sending q radio message that the motors Of the plane were failing and that they were com ing down through binding ram storm into the bush about 100 miles east of Wyndham.'
 Captain Chateau telegraphed Sy1- ney this afternoon from Nyndham that he had made flight over tn" inaccessible Drysdale station ani dropped messages explaining that search was being made for an air. plane which should have passed over the mission on Sunday.
 signal Says "Yes'
 The mission staff was requested to signal whether or not such plane had been sighted by waving white white sheet on the ground for mo-"
 In reply. sheet was waved in the air, and the signaller then walk ed in q direct southwesterly line ap- parently to indicate that the plane had disappeared in that direction.
 Chateau's message concluded: Accepting these answers as being well considered We dropped mail and an explanatory letter and then returned to Wyndham."
 "Checrio" was the conclusion of the last radio message from Kings ford Smith and his comrades. but prospects for their rescue Were any thing but cheerful as torrential rains in New South Wales, Queens land and northern territory today flooded aerodromes and prevented departure of airplanes to search the bush.
 Not even in his famous 5000 mile flight from California to Sydney. first spanning the Pacific ocean, did Captain kingsford Smith face grav- er peril than in landing in the hos tile, trackless wilderness Of hills. rivers, deserts and jungles which constitute the northern district of western Australia.
 The aviators had little food when they landed and they were likely 70 meet with short shrift from the hostile inhabitants. uncivilized bush men and even cannibalistic pigmies

BOWMAN DEFENDS SEARCH Of YACHT
Treasury 0mcial Denies Abuse
 in Fish Boat Incident

Washington. April 3 R,-The cus- toms patrol which boarded the yacht Of Stuyvesant Fish in New York har- bor Saturday night was entirely within its rights in boarding the vessel, Assistant Secretary bowman of the treasury said today in dn- nouncing that he was Investigating charges that the customs officers were abusive.
 bowman said that investigation thus far he'd shown that the yacht ignored the signal to haul to for boarding and that shots were fired in the air to attract he attention of the navigator of the vessel. No shots were fired at the yacht. A report Of the incident was submitted to bowman today by Customs Com missioner Camp.
 There has been suspicion that smuggling Of liquor and other com modities has been going on in New York harbor by so-called private yachts" bowman said. 'The GUS toms authorities are entirely within their power in boarding .;uch craft. These private yachts have been do- ing about as they please. Apparent ly Navigator Fish neglected to ob- serve the signal to haul to for boarding.
 According 10 his story he vas navigating the boat when 1t was pursued by the customs vessel and did not respond to the signal. He turned the boat over to another navigator and then the boat was boarded and examined. No charges were made against Mir. Fish of smuggling. Smuggling. however. Is a great problem in New York har- bor.
 "-rhe customs officers were bound 10 treat all concerned with courtesy. They say they did this but Mir. Fish thinks he was roughly used. That phase Of the matter IS being further investigated. The private yacht of millionaire is subject to boarding just the same as any other ship. No contraband was found on the boat. There was no ordnance on lthe customs boat except the side arms or the crew."

WISCONSIN, VETS
 WIN BIG VICTORY
Sentiment Is Overwhelming for
 Repeal Of Enforcement Act

Milwaukee. April 3 N-Anti-pro- hibitionists scored a victory in the referendum election yesterday when an overwhelming sentiment in favor of repeating the Stevenson state pro- hibition enforcement act was regis tered.
 Returns from 1.lsl of the states e,75s precincts. representing every section of the state. showed e1:,c0t in favor of repeating the enforce ment act and lo6.3ss opposed to re- peal. On the question of removing the home brew penalty the vote in 1,S0S precincts was: Yes, l5s.:50: No. S6.71O.
 As returns continued to add to the majority in favor of eliminating the prohibition enforcement act from the statute books through legislative action. vets claimed that the mar gin of victory would exceed 125.00O.
 This claim was made by State Senator Thomas NJ. Duncan. social- ist author of the referendum. the result of which he maintained would be regarded as a mandate to the legislature. at its present ses- sion, to carry out the expression of the voters.
 Yesterdays vote will have no ef- feet upon the state enforcement laws until the legislature acts; and the vote is not binding upon the law makers. The purpose of the referen- dunn was to obtain by a "Yes'' and No" vote the sentiment Of voters There appeared no doubt, however, but that the legislature would shape it's action by the result of the vot- ing.
 Returns compiled by the Associ- ated Press indicated the majority in favor of repeal would be consider ably less than was recorded in 1926 when the referendum memoralizing congress to modify the Volstead act to permit the manufacture and sale of c.25 beer carried by a margin of l72,00o.
 Most counties ran true 10 form, but five which favored modification two years ago switched to oppose repeal of the state enforcement act. These were: Bayfeid. Eau Claire, Juneau. Monroe and Trempealeeu.
 Milwaukee Five to One
 Milwaukee county vindicated the claim of the vets that 1t was their stronghold by favoring repeal by | 5-1 vote. which far offaet the ma- jority in support of the prohibition law rolled up in dry rural territory. The margin was so large for repeal in Milwaukee and other large cities Of the state that the later returns expected from dry territory was not expected to cut into the wet ma for ity appreciably.
 The wet majority used their "Yes" votes to assure a large majority for both questions on prohibition-re- pea! Of the state prohibition enforce ment act and removal of penalties in the act against manufacture, sale and possession of c75 beer.
 The vote in favor Of removing the penalties against making home brew was almost as large as for re- peal of the entire law. In the inten. sive campaign that preceded the election, both sides in the contro- versy concentrated on the question of repeal.
 "The way 10 national repeal is through state repeal" was the bat tie cry of the vets and represented by the association against the pro- hibiion amendment. they asked the state to join Montana. New York and Nevada in repeating the state enforcement law, placing the en- forcement entirely in the hands of
