MAY SEIZE WHISKY SHIPS
To Stop Foreign Vessels From Smug
gling Liquor Into V. S. Ports.
Washington, P. C. Seizure and
sale of foreign ships violating Amor
lean prohibition laws Is under consid
eration by the bureau of Internal rev
enue. Officials of the bureau were
represented Monday as seeing no so
lution to the problem other than
through invoking llbol provisions of
the Volstead act against ships bring
ing in liquor, Evidence gathered by
federal enforcement agents was said
to have disclosed that masters of for
eign ships frequently conspired with
their seamen to violate prohibition
laws. The supply of ulcohollc bever
age has been greatly Increased along
the eastern seaboard by this means,
it was said.
The bureau Is understood also to
have discovered definite connection
between foreign seamen engaged In
smuggling and a "whisky ring,"
through which the commodity Is mar
keted. The Volstead act provides specifi
cally for confiscation of vehicles of
transportation employed in violation
of that law. Bureau officials were
said to feel that although foreign com
plications may result, they (should
take steps in that direction in order
to control the traffic No estimate
has been made of the amount of liquor
thus reaching American "bootleggers."
Technically foreign ships are within
jurisdiction of American laws when
Inside the three-mile limit. This
makes them liable to confiscation at
any time contraband goods are found
on them.
Certain foreign' ship masters are
alleged to have employed a unique
method of defeating prohibition. The
reports revealed, it was stated, that
pay of seamen had been reduced to
nominal amount and in some cases
to $1 a week in lieu of more pay, the
seamen being permitted to lay In
slocks of liquor In foreign ports for
delivery in American pons.
While questioning of masters al
ways has brought denials, officials
here were said to be confident of the
existence of such a conspiracy, since
the pay reduction has been made
without protest from the seamen.
AMERICA'S TAX BILL

Washington, D. C America's tax
bill for the fiscal year ending June 30

a barrel in the price of flour was an

REVOLT IN IRELAND
Lloyd George Says Order
Be Restored.
WANTS STERN POLICY
Premier Turns Down Dominion Home
Rule, and Plan of Irish Re
public as Menace.
Carnavon, Wales. Premier Lloyd
George, In a fighting speech here Sat
urday, declared that th government In
tended to restore order iu Ireland by
"methods however stern" and proceed
with Its home rule bill.
He turned down dominion home
rule, protesting against suggestions
that the government should go farther
than did Gladstone or Asqulth, "not
because Ireland needs It, not because
it Is fair to the United Kingdom, but
because crime has been successful."
A republic, he insisted, would not
satisfy Irishmen, as "Ulster would
have something to say."
Nothing in the past, he continued,
would justify present conditions in
Ireland. The premier declared "tt real
murder gang" is dominating Ireland,
making it Impossible for reasonable
men to come together to consider the
best way to govern the country.
"It Is essential," he went on, "In
the Interest of Ireland that the gang
-should be broken up and, unless I am
mistaken, we shall do it. Out side by
side with that we must proceed with
measures for self-government In Ire
land." In speaking of reprisals, the premier
argued that the police would not bomb
houses and shoot men If there was no
provocation.
As for self-government for Ireland,
the premier explained that if complete
dominion home rule wcro accorded,
Ireland could have conscription. Iu
that case, ho pointed out, England's
army of 100,000 might be confronted
with an Irish army of 500,000. Con
scription for England, he said, must
necessarily follow dominion home rule
in Ireland.
The premier said Arthur Criffith,
founder of the Sinn Fein, whom he
characterized "a very able and dis
tinguished Irishman," in a recent
newspaper statement, had "showed
greaj concern at the prospect of what
he thought was going to be an attack
on his own life. I do not believe
there is any attack being concerted
against his life, but I never saw a
word from Arthur Griffith displaying
any indignation at the killing of 1G9
policemen."
The premier charged Ireland had
assisted the Gorman submarine cam
paign and declared that, although lit
tle had been said about It, Ireland
was Great Britain's worry during the
war.
Montana Lacks Coal.
Helena, Mont. The Montana rail
road commission telegraphed all coal
producers in Montana Monday calling
upon them to give Montana dealers
preference in coal shipments, Instead
of shipping the coal to eastern states.
The board declares Montana con
sumers are already beginning to suf
fer from lack of coal. The operators
are delared to be far behind in their
orders to Montana dealers.
30 Die In Paris Wreck
Paris Thirty or more persons were
killed and 50 Injured Saturday when
the Paris-Nantes express ran Into a
freight train. The accident occurred
about four miles from Malsons-Lafltte,
at the Paris suburban station of Houil
les. Twenty-five or 30 bodies have
been removed, while not less than 50
injured have been transported to hos
pitals In Paris.
Campaign Funds Taxable.
' Washington, D. C Contributions to
political campaign funds are taxable,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Williams declared Monday. In a state
ment he advised members of all
parties that they will not be allowed to
deduct amounlB given to campaign
funds from their Income tax returns.
Store of Cotton Burns.
Cameron, Texas, Loss estimated at
$1,000,000 was the toll taken by fire
early Sunday which destroyed 70,000
bales of cotton and the compress and
warehouses of the Cameron Cotton
Press company. Officials said they
Relieved the fire was of Incendiary
origin. '
