Story Hits Theory
His testimony was In direct
contradiction to the presumption
that the rum runner may have
headed toward the Coast Guard
vessel in seeking to surrender
a presumption raised to explain
the fact that the shell which
killed Capt. William P. Cluett
landed squarely in front OF her
pilot house.

the Josephine K, Canadian rum
runner captured by the Coast
Guard Saturday night, to the
State Department as operated by
the same group which controlled
the I'm Alone two years ago, it
was learned today.
William r. Valance. who has
been in charge Of I'm Alone itiga~
tiOn, considers the Josephine K.
case even stronger than that Of
the I'm Alone from an American
standpoint. The latter has never
reached the arbitration stage
through failure of Canada to fol
low its initial protest.
The I'm Alone, Canadian
registered schooner, was captured
200 miles out in the Gulf Of
Mexico March %, 1929, and
Canada protested. Arbiters were
appointed in the persons Of
Justice Van Devanter, of the
American. and Justice Duff, Of
the Canadian Supreme Court,
but the matter has never
reached them. Canada has
never formally filed her version
Of the case.
Concern Called Dummy"
Neither has she acceded to the
American demand for q list Of
the stockholders of the Eugene
Creaser Shipping Company, Ltd,
under whose ownership the I'm
Alone was listed. The American
contention was that the Canadian
concern was dummy" and
that actually the I'm Alone was
operated by a group Of Amer'
cans.
Mr.. Valance. it was learned,
does not believe Canada will go
further than to request a rOu-
tine report Of the Josephine X.
affair from this Government.
