BAN On ONE-DAY
BOOZE CRUISES
To Be ASKED
Shipping Interests Seek Law
to Prevent Foreign Ships
Making "Whoopee" Jaunts

American shipping interests.
backed by Arthur J. Tyrer, chief
of the navigation bureau of the
Commerce Department, will make
q determined fight at the coming
session of Congress for legislation
to prohibit foreign vessels from
making one-day "whoopee" excur-
sions out of United States ports.
Tyrer pointed out that in the
last year these excursions, espe-
cially from New York City, have
become quite popular. Once out
side U. S. territorial waters, it is
claimed, the foreign steamers open
their bars until the return.
This practice has cut into the
coaStwiSe shipping business and is
held to be an evasion, though not
a violation, of the American ship
ping laws. Under the statute,
coastwise shipping is limited in
virtually all cases to American
owned vessels and to ships built
in the United States.
However, Attorney General Nit.
chell has ruled that where for.
eign vessel leaves an American
port for trip and returns to that
port, the law has not been vic.
lated.
The statute provides that for.
eign vessels are prohibited from
transporting passengers from one
American port to another, even
though a foreign port is touched
during the journey.

BODY IN CHAINS
TAKEN FROM POND
Torture Case Also Probed.
LEGS" Diamond Mentioned
in Both investigations.
By the Associated Press.

k3y bno ASSOCldtcu fI6SS-
NEW YORK. April 20. - Catskill, a
quiet little town along the Hudson
River, has become the center Of two
investigations, one involving murder,
the other torture. In both the name
OF Jack Legs" Diamond, reputed gang
ster, is mentioned.
The body of a man, weighed down
with a chain and a stone, was found
yesterday in a private pond near East
Fishkill, and police believed it to be
that of Harry Western of Catskill. a
roadhouse proprietor, who has been
missing nine months. Western disap-
peared in August, last year, after re-
Ceiving a mysterious telephone message.
His automobile was found in Brooklyn
some days later, where it had been
driven by a chauffeur for Diamond.
Police said 1t had been planned to push
the blood-Stained car off a Brooklyn
pier.
The body was found by a foherman
and his son, who saw the legs protrud-
ing from the mud a short distance
from shore.
The story Of torture was related by
Grover Parks of CatSkill, a truckman.
He told the sheriff Of Greene County
that he was driving a load of cider
along the road near AGRA, where Dia-
mon lives in retirement, when he was
accosted By several men. When he
failed to answer their questions salts
factorily. he said, he was beaten and
the soles of his feet burned over a fire.
He accused members of the Diamond
gang.

CANADIAN GOLD MINES IN
 PROSPEROUS CONDITION

MONTREAL, Dec 8. (49 One Canadian industry--gold mining IS enjoying the most prosperous condition in it's history, says bull letln made public by the Depart ment of Immigration and Coloniza- tion of the Canadian Pacific Rail way.
 "A comprehensive review on gold mining in Ontario and Quebec, Canada's most important gold-pro- ducing provinces, reveals that this industry was probably never be- fore in so prosperous a condition as 1t IS today" the bulletin points out. Hon. w. A. Gordon, minister of mines for the Dominion, is au- thor of the review, which also re- veals that many gold mine execu- tives throughout Canada are pre- pairing to embark immediately on programs of expansion involving large capital expenditures.
 The prosperity of the gold mines can be attributed very largely to the fall in prices of much of the material used in the production of gold and to the premium now being paid Canadian gold miners on their product"
 Ontario,s gold output for the first half of 1881, the bulletin asserted, was valued at $2O,6O8,2O6. Quebec's output was valued at $3,O47, ,442, making a total for these two prov inces of $23,655,648 as compared with valuation of 26,321 ,5O8 for the whole of Canada in the same period. Incidentally, the latter fig ure compares with $2O,180,568 in the first half of 1880, which means that Canada'S total output of gold gained more than $6,O0OO0O during this single siX-month period. New gold fields are almost weekly being discovered in sections never before known to contain the prec- louS metal, the bulletin concludes, and it may not be unlikely that Canada will shortly become the worlds foremost gold producer, having already passed the United States in this respect and now holding second place among the countries of the world. South Af- rica still holds world leadership.
