The customs dispute arose over
Japanese refusal to clear the Dollar
liner President Cool id ge early this
morning for San Francisco, with a
cargo of silver valued at more than
4. 000 ,000 which the Japanese-sponsored
government apparently con
sidered Its property.
The Dollar line agreed to unload
the sl'.ver, whereupon permission was
granted to sail at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Referred to Thief
The silver, loaded under guard of
United States marines, was consigned
to the CHase National Bank of New
York. That bank s Shanghai branch,
however, declined to make any state
ment concerning the silvers origin
or details of the transaction.
Clarence E. Gauss, United States
consul-general, was understood to
have referred the matter to the state
department in Washington following
nis negotiations with Shinrokuro Hl-
dsJta. Japanese charge d'affaires. It
was reported Gauss In tese ncco Je
ttons had emphasized the Interest
of the American bank in the affair.
Chinese customs officials on Stin-
day issued permits for export of the
silver and for departure of the
Coolldge, and passengers took the
tender to board her in midstream
before. Japanese officials cancelled
the permits.
The Japanese - sponsored govern
ment of Shsnghal with the co-operation
of Japanese military and naval
authorities effected cancellation of
the clearance papers.

IMPROVED SALES
TREND NOTED BY
WARD HEAD HERE
Noting a new development tn con
sumer buying. H. L. Brown reported
today that an Improved sales trend
waa apparently due to the fact that
customers were buying In larger
quantities.
"We have definitely noticed during
our current Ward Week sale." Brown
said, "that customers are buying
more. The tendency seems to be to
stock up on all staple needs. Of
course. It Is hard to determine
whether this la due to a fear of In
flation or to some other cause.
"Certainly, the crowds that have
come Into our store during Ward
Week evidence a real eagerness to
buy. Judging from present Indica
tions business during this winter
will be much better than we had I
anticipated."
The Ward Week sale la featured In
Montgomery Ward stores all over the I
country at this time every year
Early reports show that this year's
sales trend during the event la com
paring favorably to that of last
year. Ward Week continue here '
until October 29.
