Strongest Navy
Has Salvaged Craft
As Admiral' s Ship
London, Nov. 10. What is
probably the strangest navy in
history has just sprung into be
ing. The little Baltic state of Latvia
recently decided that it must have
some warships to protect its long
coastline and prevent smuggling,
and so it has now put into com
mission a battle fleet of three
armed tugboats!
Not content with this armada.
Latvia has decided to have a flag
ship for it. Her first' "battleship"
the Versaiti, will be launched this
month, and it will be a vessel of
525 tons, with a speed of seven
teen knots.
The Vesaiti has bad an inter
esting if inglorious career already,
for she is nothing less than the old
German guardship EM-68, which
was sunk in Latvian waters in
1917 and has now been raised and
renovated.
She is certainly the only guard
ship that has risen from the depths
of the sea to the dizzy heights of
becoming the flagship of a battle
fleet.

British Debt Is
Cause of Dismay
London, Nov. 10. A gloomy
view of the financial position of
the United Kingdom was present
ed in the house of commons yester
day by Sir Robert Horn, chancellor
of the exchequer, in moving the
second reading of the appropria
tion bill. He expressed the belief,
however, that Great Britain's tra
ditional resourcefulness would car
ry her through the hard times?
The arrangement to begin pay
ment of the interest on the war
debt owed the United States at the
rate-of 50,000,000 pounds sterling
annually, he said, would occasion
fresh expenditure next year.
The budget estimated a surplus
of 84,000,000 pounds sterling from
ordinary revenue and 93,000,000
pounds sterling from extraordi
nary revenue. Of this total 80,-

tiary. No attempt has been made oy
the state to pay the growers for
the flax handled this year and it is
said by the state officials that the
farmers must wait for their money
until the state realizes upon the
stock on hand. The sum due the
growers for this stock Is approxi
mately $37,000. Not even a bank

Parliment
Adjourns With
Forebodings
London, Nov. 10. The session
of parliament, which opened in
February, ends today with the
prorogation of both houses by roy
al commlslson after the brief au
al commission after the brief au
18. This special meeting, which
the government was able to ar
range on short notice, due to the
fact that parliament had merelv
adjourned in August instead of
being prorogued, was summoned
to deal with the question of un
employment. While this problem
was duly taken care of, the Inter
est of the members has been main
ly focussed on the Irish peace ne
gotiations. Several members of parllainont,
viewing with some apprehension
the uncertain state of the Irish
situation at the present time, lift
night urged the government to al
low another adjournment Instead
of the Indefinite postponement
which a prorogation Implies.
Austen Chamberlain, government
leader in the house of commons,
declared that nothing stood In the
way of proroguing the body and
reminded his anxious Inquirers
that Prime Minister Lloy l-Cootge
had repeatedly promised that
nothing would be finally settled
with regard to Ireland without
calling the house together. new
session could be opened, he point
ed out, should developments ra
qulrc It.
While It cannot be denied thct
a great deal of gloomy foreboding
exists In many quarters, It la not
believed generally lhat the peace
negotiations are necessarily doom
ed to a sudden collapse, vhntever
the attitude Ulster may adopt, but
that further negotiations would
follow any possible check.
night and Mr. Mowry was arrested
on his farm five miles south of
Salam by deputy sheriffs today.
While Mr. Carson had not been
informed that Mr. Mowry was sus
pected of the act with which he Is
now charged up to the time The
Capital Journal made its request
tor an official Investigation, Judge
Bushey was In possession of this
information hut did not lay It be
fore the district attorney for In
vestigation and action.
Information that Judge Bushey
was basing his refusal to return
the girls to their home because of
moral conditions there was first
brought to the attention of The
Capital Journal wheji a committee
named by the Salem Ministerial
association to Investigate the Per
ry case made public Its report)
When interviewed, members of the
committee said that Judge Biisney
hadtold them he had Information
that Mr. Mowry had attempted
criminal assault upon one of the
girls. Asked why Judge Bushey
hadttold them he had information
before the district attorney with
the request that Mowry be prose
cuted, the members of the com
mlttee replied that they did not
know.
That Mowrydmitted the at
tempted assault when questioned
before Sheriff Bower, Judge
Bushey and the district attorney
is the report of Mr. Carson. The
act is alleged in the complaint to
have been committed during the
blackberry picking season of 1920,
about July 10.
Mowry will probably be given
hearing before Justice of the
Peace Unruh sometime this after
noon.
Bootlegger
Sues Partner
For Half Fine
Walla Walla., Wash., Nov. 10.
The most unique case ever filed In
the history of the northwest, ac
cording to local attorneys, was in
stituUd yesterday at Pasco, Frank
lin county, Washington, by Mike
Boca, who Is suing his former part
ner, John Edwards for $99 to cover
the cost of attorney's fees and
costs which were paid by Boca
when the latter was recently ar
rested and fined $175 for having
Intoxicating lftiuor in his posses
sion.
Boca alleges in his complaint
that he and Edwards entered Into
an agreement when they went in
to the bootlegging business that
each partner would be responsible
for half of the costs in the event
that the other partner was arrest
ed. After Boca's arrest, he plead
od guilty and was fined, which to
gether with his attorney fee
amounted to $198. Half ot this
amount, Boca alleges, should be
paid by Edwards according to a
written agreement made prior to
their entering Into the bootlegging
business."
