CAPITAL FLOWING BACK.
Great Britain May Resume Role of
"WOrld Banker"

word BANKER.
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 19-International
capital, seeking employment at profit,
is flowing back to London at a rate
which some fnanciers say may presage
the early return of London to its role
of world banker"
But today. they explain, the job of
being banker for the world is sorry
one. and the three principal money
centers-New York, London and Paris
appear to be asking each other to step
into the position.
The rise of London, however, is re-
garded as the most interesting feature
of the International drama because Lon
don is the only one of the three not
operating on a gold standard.
Recently Near Disaster.
Added interest attaches to the come
back because London only recently
seemed on the verge of disaster when
England was showed off the gold basis
Foreign exchange dealers report that
which Is a necessary part of the shift
ing of international capital to London
continues to feature all foreign ex-
change markets.
Bankers also say the return flow OF
funds to London has been helped by
recent action taken in Europe. Bankers
in Holland and Switzerland have served
notice on the world they do not want
surplus capital to come pouring into
those countries.
Just before the collapse of sterling
from the gold standard September 81,
an estimated G200,000,000 or at that
time approximately $1,0O0000,000 of
short-term foreign balances were pulled
out of London. The bulk of this money
is said to have fed to the continent.
Since England's withdrawal from the
gold standard, London has not been
obliged to buy all the gold that has
come her way She has shifted this
responsibility to France, which al
ready has all the gold she needs, but,
being gold country, is obligated to
buy up all gold offered her.
With the pound sterling quoted now
around $379 against its January low
of $685., the flow of international
capital to London appears to be con-
tinuing.
AS a means of preventing too rapid
rise at the expense Of British trade,
the British government has been SELL
ing sterling and using portion of the
balance thus built up to buy her
own bonds in foreign countries. The
rise this week of British 51as to above
par is said to be due in part to this
policy.

BY the Associated Press.
CADIZ, Ohio, April l9-Three strike
ridden soft coal mines In the Eastern
Ohio field resumed operations today
without semblance Of disorder, as Ma
tional Guardsmen stood by ready to
protect the workers.
Threescore diggers entered the Som
ers mine of the Goodyear Tire & Rub

was tense until after daylight One
shot was fired in the hills as the work.
ing miners gathered at the pit. An
unidentified airplane circled low over
the mine property, dropped red flare
and then hurried away.
The aerial activities early today puz-
zled Guard officers and caused them to
investigate. Before the unidentified
plane appeared over the Somers mine,
which is IL miles southeast of Cadiz, a
red flare was lighted on a nearby hill.
An officer ordered GuardSnen to open
fire in the direction of the flare.
So An attempt to find an object drop
ped by the plane near the Somers tipple
was fruitless. 1t was first believed the
plane dropped the flare, but later Off
cials said it might have been bomb.
At Tasa mine, miles east of here,
before daylight, large rocket shot up
from a nearby hillside and flared
across the sky over the mine. Mai E.
H. Dtstell, Cleveland, in charge of Ma
tional Guard airplanes based at Cam
bridge, said none of his planes were off
the ground this morning when the un-
identified ship was operating.

In yesterdays fight and two were killed
in previous riots. One guardsman, Mike
Cosmos of Akron, was wounded acci-
dentally by fellow trooper, and sur
geons had to remove his right leg.

ONE MAN KILLED IN
FIRE Which WRECKS
GIANT CUNARD PIER
Blaze in New York Waterfront
Causes Loss Estimated
at $1,000, 900

New York, May 7.-lP)-A fire which
wrecked the giant Cunard line pier,
doing more than 100000 damage
and killing one man, was under con-
troll early Saturday after a fight Of
more than 20 hours.
About 300 firemen suffered injuries
from heat, smoke. fumes or minor
mishapS. With all leaves cancelled
and every fireman in the city on duty,
fire fighters struggled all day and all
night to quench the flames, which
swept great pine pilings from UNDER
meath the concrete dock and steel SUI
per-Structure.
The last section of the 1,000-foot
pier collapsed Friday night, leaving
only a bulkhead standing. The fire
apparently started in a boiler room
underneath the pier about Z a. m.
Friday.
Because the builders had striven to
make the structure fireproof, the
flames were hard to combat. Stand
ing on scorching cement, the firemen
had to chop holes in the floor and
descend into terrific heat to bring
their hose lines into action on the pill
ings.
Chief John J. McElligott was among
those who collapsed from smoke and
exhaustion. His assistant, Thomas F.
Dougherty, announced Saturday
morning that the flames were under
control.
The man killed was a bystander. A
hose line broke, snaked and fractured
his skull.

Civilian Population Report
ed to Be Widening

Honolulu, May 7.-(P)-A breach,
between the U. S. navy and civilian
Honolulu widened, Saturday, with
merchants apprehensive of a threa-
tened boycott by the navy personnel
The rift, first caused by the Massie
assault case in September and the
nistrial of the natives charged with
the attack, spread steadily and had
its latest impetus in the conviction a
week ago of the four defendants in
the Fortescue -Massie murder case
They were Mrs. Granville Fortescue
her son-in-law, Lieut.. Thomas Mas
sic: Albert o. Jones and E. j. Lord,
naval enlisted men.
The four, who subsequently obtain
ed q communication of sentence, were
convicted of the revenge Staying of
Joseph Kahahawai. suspected as one
attacker of Mrs. Thalia Massie, wife
Of the officer.
While the boycott movement was
still beneath the surface, 1t was UNI
derstood that certain personnel at
Pearl Harbor naval station had writ
ten Pacific coast firms, suggesting
they open branch stores at Honolulu.
It also was understood that official
circles at Pearl Harbor had let it be
known personnel making such re-
quests could be disciplined by the
navy.
The whole city was watching,
meanwhile, developments in the
scheduled retrial of four Hawaiians
Of mixed blood charged with assault
ing Mrs. Massie. Retrial depends en-
tirely on whether Mrs. Massie re-
mains in the islands to testify.
John G. Kelley, public prosecutor,
issued statement calling on Mrs.
MaSsie to remain as a witness. Mrs.
Massie announced she planned to sail
for the mainland aboard the S. s.
Malolo Sunday. Clarence barrow,
chief of the defense counsel for Mrs.
Fortescue and her co-defendants,
said Mrs. Massie had decided to re-
main.
Robert Bell Of New York, Mrs.
Massie's uncle, said he honestly
didn't know" what she would do. It
was learned on good authority that
Mrs. Fortescue. to whom the prospect
Of her daughter running away" from
