WASHINGTON, May 4. (By

llougbton's pilgrim dinner speech
tonight was read with interest by
high administration officials, al
though comment was withheld.

Conferences Are Held '
Additional significance must be
Attached to Mr. Houghton s ad
press because it was his first jmb
flic utterance since ho succeeded
Secretary Kellogg at the London
embassy and -also because It was
made within less than a. month
after his departure from Washing
ton where he was in , conference
repeatedly both with ! President
CoolidKe and Secretary Kellogg in
preparation for his new duties. His
words gain added force as well
because of the fact! that he went
from the Berlin to the London
embassy with only the Washing
ton conferences and a brief leave
in this country intervening.
Ti Polfcies Declared Stated
i In view of these! circumstances
and despite official reticence bjre
it seems clear that! Mr. Houghton
was voicing the fundamental con
ception of the Coolidge adminls
tration as to the attitude America
must take on European problems.
Whether he was aiming directly at
such specific questions as the out
come of the recent! German elec
tians. the somewhat unfavorable
reception which! met (tentatively
administration feelers as to the
possibility of a new arms confer
ence and like matters does not ap

There seems little j doubt,' how

A part of the plan will be the
assignment of one or more coast
guard boats to watch each of the
floating warehouses on the row
every hour. In this manner, the
government men believe, they will
be able to prevent the transfer of
stocks fnto small boats plying "be
tween the rum fleet and the shores
of Connecticut, Long Island and
New Jersey. This precaution. It
was said, would prevent carrying
out of provisions and other sup
plies to the ships on the rum line
by small beats operating from the
shore. ; ':'.':':
Captain Jacobs denied reports
that he had received or given or
ders "to shoot to kill."
"We have found It necessary to
take stronger measures against
the liquor smugglers than were
employed during the past year,"
he said. . He declined to say just
what rigorous measures.: were
planned.

today called Dr. Stresemann,
now foreign minister, as the star
witness. '!! i
He denied the allegation that
the socialist members of the cab
inet "had been excluded from the
negotiations for the government's
advance payment to the Ruhr own
ers. The royalists 'have accused the
government of collusion with the
Ruhr magnates without knowledge
of the people's parties, but Strese
mann said today that the cabinet
had unanimously afreeidf that it
was incumbent to restore the Ruhr
mines and that for, a fortnight
conferences had been conducted
between the socialist ministers
Solmann, Schmidt and Brauns, on
the one side and the late Hugo
Stinnes and Dr. Albert Voegler on
the other.
Mr. Streseniann who had
charge of the. correspondence with
Stinnes, stated that the govern
ment's covenants to the West
phalian coal magnates far exceed
ed all moral obligations, adding:
'Doubtless both parties realized
that the reich took over obliga
tions, or otherwise it could be
sued by the other party."
He remarked that the Indus
trialists had ,demandedthe gov
ernment's "statement," with the
Jtiiftif icatlon l that "Ruhr recon
