AND SEVEN OTHERS
 START FISHING

Washington, Aug 15.-(UP)- President Hoover, on his first vaca- tion trip in a year and a half, be- came Fisherman Hoover today.
 The president and seven com panions on the 110-foot inspection boat Sequoia, put aside economic and political problems and sought relaxation angling for sea trout and bass on the lower Potomac and Chesapeake Bay.
 Presidents before him have cruised down the Potomac. They went on the luxurious yacht May flower, accompanied by retinues of aides and servants. One of MT Hoover's first acts in office was to order the Mayfiower junked for economy's sake.
 The Sequoia. on which MT Hoover cruised today, is an inspec- tion boat of the-commerce depart ment. It is a sturdy craft, with comfortable but not lavish quarters for only a few persons in addition to it's crew.
 The Sequoia arranged to keep in touch with the White House by radio, but the president sought as much isolation as possible. Even LH0 ScCTcI ScTtlCc WAhCti oA- ways accompanies the president was forced to keep it's vigil from another boat. Newspapermen and photographers who chartered two additional craft were kept some distance away.
 l The presidential party sailed from the Washington Navy Yard late yesterday and expected to re- lturn sometime Tuesday. MT Hoover then planned tentatively to go to his Rapidan camp for the remainder of the week. Aside from week-ends at the Rapidan, this is MT Hoover's first vacation trip since he visited Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands LearIy last year.
 The presidents fishing compan- ions were Secretary of War Hurley: l Henry Robinson, Los Angeles l banker and close friend of MT Hoover; Clarence M. Woolley, president of the American Radiator company; Will Irwin. writer and college classmate of the president; | Waiter Hope. New York. former assistant secretary of the treasury;
 Walter Newton. White House sec-
 retary; and Dr Joel T. Boone. pres-
 identiai physician.

T heard that former Governor Silzer was forming the trust com pany," Herrick began. 'I talked to the mayor about it, as to getting subscriptions" Q. Whose suggestion was it that you should handle the whole thing?
 A. think it was MT Stanton's. (Mayor Walkers secretary.) o. Before you go on, the bank must have known you were author ized to subscribe for the stock which was set aside?
 A. I had nothing to show for it.
 o. Then the bank called for full payment? A. I told them I could not pay in full.
 The witness said that finally, when the bank called for full pay ment, he notified Stanton, and Stanton said he would send it down."
 0. Did you know at that time to whom the 300 shares were to go?
 A. did.
 0. Where did you think the al- lottment would be delivered?
 A. At the City Hall.
 O. You testified 300 shares were being purchased for the mayor?
 A. Yes.

Butte, Mont, Aug IA. (UP)-- The people in Butter, Montana, heard and believed strange ru- 'mors for a time last week when the city was without newspapers. "A printers strike had resulted in Suspension of all Butte news papers. It was not for two weeks that publication was resumed, and in the interim Butte was hot bed of wild rumors, alarmist re- ports and grapevine whispers of sfrightful things. Many of the ru-
 mors involved the White House and President Hoover. Out-of- town papers refused to increase their normal Butte circulation at the expense of the suspended To- cal publications, some even re- jecting mail subscriptions. The local radio made few announce

Washington, August 15 (UP) - Francis White. as assistant sec retary of state, is 40, has served in China, Persia, Cuba and South America, and he is the Latin American expert who supervised the Tacna-Arica negotiations. Now is is playing the lion- timer in the Bolivian-Paragua dispute. Soothing to the tempera- mental Latins requires all of his suave, diplomatic technique. He believes in secret diplomacy. His motto is, You can't negotiate through the press"
 But when he attempted to carry the secrecy complex to the nth de- gree, newspaper correspondents showed him a new trick. After much difficulty they obtained an appointment with him. When the first question was fired, White said: "Now I'll tell you that in confi- dence."
 Just a minute, before you do that will you please tell me this?" One correspondent interrupted White obligingly answered and just as he was about to lapse into confidential matter another corre- spondent interrupted. just a min- ute, before you do that, will you please tell me this?''

DIVIDENDS ARE
 TO BE DECLARED
 UPON WHISKEY
National DistiIIers PrO- ducts Corporation Will Present Each StOck- holder l2 Quarts of the Real Goods
BY H. ALLEN SMITH

New York. Aug 15.-(UP)-A "whiskey dividend" to be paid Oc- tober l, 1894 has been ordered for stockholders in the National Dis tillers Products corporation it was announced to-day.
 Each stockholder will be given 12 quarts of whiskey on that date for each 5-share block of stock he holds, because the company off cials feel stockholders are entitled to share in excess stocks now on hand as a result of prohibition. The announcement of the spirituous dividend implies a belief that the 18th amendment will be void with in two years.
 The corporation has been produc- ing whiskey for medicinal purposes since prohibition became effective, operating in those states where such distributoin is permitted.
 "Regardless of national action on prohibition laws" Seton Porter, president of the company, explained to-day, i've have, by observing the laws and selling only where we were permitted to sell, piled up a reserve of stocks. Our stockhold- CTS, who have stood by us, deserve to have this dividend"
 Accordingly, the company has is- sued a prospectus, informing stock holders of it's decision.
 The prospectus adds that per- sons holding preferred stock, con- vertible into common, are entitled to the same "benefits' and will bet their share of the whiskey just the same as the common stockholders.
 The plan cannot be carried out if prohibition is still in effect in 1884 though department of justice of ficials in Washington can see noth- ing illegal about 1t now. The "whis- key bonus" will have to be can celled in 1894 if the dry law has not bene cancelled.
