New York, April 24.?Custom ofoflicials announced today that they smash a bootlegger ring wnicn ine$ charged had mobilized a fleet of former submarine chasers to meet creation of America's "dry navy." The federal agents are working on the theory that the swift craft that once pursued German U-boats and were sold after the war now are posing as naval vessels and, commanded by officers in the uniform ef the United States, already have succeeded in running $3,000,000 worth of turn into the United States from Bermuda and Habana. The announcement of the discovery of the alleged smuggling scheme was tna/lo n f tov 1 Vin MUV ?? vv? VIIV XVI lltvi OUVI1IU1 MIX. chaser 101, rechristened the Fidus, had been taken in New York harbor by a police boat and customs launch. Customs men claimed they had found aboard her numerous charts with marked landing's along the Atlantic coast and Hudson river. No liquor was found aboard and the crew told i a hair raising tale of having had their 1 cargo plundered by pirates off the I Long Island coast yesterday. The ex-chaser, said to bear British registry, was held on a technical < charge that she left Bermuda with- 1 out clearance papers. Her captain, ! who gave his name as "John Kelly," and his crew of seven, were taken ' to the custom house for a severe grill- 1 ing. After the examination, Assist- 1 ant United States Attorney Falk said: i "Kelly wore the uniform of a United States naval officer. We have not : as yet made any charges against Captuin Kelly and the crew. It is understood that the Fidus carried < 2,100 cases of Scotch whiskey from 1 Bermuda and that is what we want to find out. The vessel failed to show on her manifest any cargo and after ' questioning by customs agents, it was i decided to take her into port and quedtlon the crew." Federal agents, who said they be^^^lieved the hataee "John Kelly" flcti^^^nttmated there was a possibility that ' there might be brought against her captain a charge of wearing an ensign's uniform illegally. "Kelly," who claimed at one time to have served in the United States navy, de- ] nied he was wearing a naval uniform. "All I had was a cap that resembled an ensgin's head piece," he told rnnovters. Kelly claimed to have been taking liquor to Montreal for a Bermuda wine merchant who owned the craft, when pirates on another chaser stole his cargo and manifests. But customs officials claimed to have detached points at which the tale, as relat ed by different members of the crew, did not gibe. Incidentally one of the crew, Ray Palmer, was alleged to be carrying I. W. W. literature. ( Palk quoted the version of Chief Engineer William Lockwood as follows: "We were all below. This was about 6 o'clock. A bell was given to , stop and we stalled the engines. Next thing we knew a gang of men, all j unmasked, swarmed down on us, and pointing revolvers at us backed us up into a small compartment in the engine room and told us to be quiet." Half an hour later, according to Lockwood, a seaman ventured above nr>/l bout Kollv HoH fro the mast. T^ocJtwood claimed to have untied the knots himself. The liquor was gone. Among the papers found in the captain's possession was a recommendation from his commanding officer, stating he served in 1919 as an ensign on the "Northern Pacific" and as executive officer on "Submarine chaser 90."

The fight to hold the embankments at threatened points between Cairo and Vicksburg had still been successful up to tonight and engineers expressed ? confidence of the central river levees holding safely. The most serious situation tonight 1 is apparently seven miles south of Hickman, Ky., where a swift current I is undermining the banks outside the levee and where caving has occurred for several days. Farming opera- 1 tions in that section are practically suspended and every available man is at work on the river front, where 1 the situation tonight was said to be well in hand. South of Arkansas City, Ark., the situation is still critical although the engineers claim a break there will 1 be prevented.

Mr. Morgan indicated that the proposal loan to Germany would be c popular loan to which the people ol the United States and other allied countries would be asked to subscribe With good terms and on good security, he said, he believed such a loar could be placed. "America, of course, is very important in this foreign loan situation,' he said. "The question I am asked is whether, if so, on what terms a German loan can be placed in this country. "I think I can be useful and I am going over about the middle of May peisonal matters preventing me from sailing before that time." Mr. Morgan said he would cable his formal acceptance of the invitation tonight. Mr. Morgan declined to estimate what amount of German bonds could ae sold in the American market. He expressed the hope that, if the terms were satisfactory, conditions for such j loan wore excellent at this time. Asked whether he thought the loan would clear away the chief obstacles to Europe's rehabilitation, he said: "Now you are getting into politics." "My interest in the situation," he 2xplained, "is merely to advise what the United States can do to help out the loan plan."

'LABELS MUST GIVE ' I TRUE DESCRIPTION Washington, April 24.?Isabels or ! brands under which articles are sold, i when open to construction in the ? mind of the purchasing public that they describe the compotant ingre dients or materials used in the manuk, facture of the articles, mqst clearly and definitely describe them, the su preme court today held, irv an opini ion delivered by Justice Brandies in f a case brought by the federal trade 1 commission against the Winstod . Hosiery company of Connecticut. Jus tice McReynolds dissented. i The opinion of the cooit. while confined to the particular idsucs pre sented, will, it is stated, have material effect in broadening tb<- puris> diction of the federal tradd com mi s sion in such trade practices Chairman Gaskill of the commission described the decision as a J) eat vie1 tory. > Explaining that the Winfted com i pany for many years had '.^manufactured underwear for the t#ail tra.1 1 bearing the brands "natural merino," 1 "gray wool," "natural wool," "natural worsted," or 'TAustralldP wool," I 1 Justice Brandies declared Ifnone of ' this underwear is all W^Ol." but "much of it contains only a pwcentage of wool; some as light as 10 per cent." . Jjf In this connection, he safciil thai while the Winsted company labels, particularly that bearing the word "merino," have long been dttd in the trade, "the court could not jftcept the contention that they are .generally understood as indicating goods partly of cotton. He declared it "unsound,Asserting that the labels in question^'are literally false" and except those which bear the word "merino" atwlpulpably so." All are calculated tovfldeceive," Justice Brandeis added, ^Knd do in face deceive a substantial jfihrt ion of the purchasing public." Defining the words ua^Wgipon the labels of the company, Jqw' Brand eis said "a substantial the purchasing public, and alfl[B)in? buy crs for retailers and sale^^Bd^l^'j^n' derstand the words . . . alBjfdigjklto 1 *nderwe??? t& ' wear is all wool." By means of the labels and brands "part of the public is misled into selling or into buying as all wool underwear which in fact is in large part cotton," he added, "declaring that the practice tended to aid and encourage the representations of unscrupulous retailers, and their salesmen, who knowingly sell to their 1 customers as all wool underwear which is largely composed of cotton." "When misbranded goods attract ' customers by means of the fraud which they perpetuate, trade is diverted from the producer of truthfully marked goods," the justice said, and the fact that 'honest manufacturers might protect their trade by also resorting to deceptive labels," is no defense for such practices.

A pri 1 24.? Whether 23 men, including officers and i members of the United Mine Workers of America, would be tried here on a i charge of treason, depended on the de. i cision of Judge J. M. Woods, who to- i day heard arguments on a demurrer < of the defendants and a motion to j quash the indictment. Two grounds were alleged by defense counsel for j calling the indictment. Two grounds , were alleged by defense counsel for . calling the indictment on the treason , charge faulty and much of today's t proceedings in the cases of the men ( against whom this and other charges , have been brought because of the march and fighting in Boone and I.o- , gan counties last August was taken j up with arguments on these points. Judge Woods took the demurrer un- j der advisement when he adjourned ( - ourt. , The prosecution when asked which , of the 15 indictments it elected to cry ( first, announced choice of the treason charge. The defense immediately , gnve notice of its demurrer. t T. C. Townsend, of defense counsel, advanced the argument that the treason indictment should have contained | thj word "feloniusly" and that its j language was too general. ( The answering argument for the , state was made by A. M. Belcher, of Charleston, associated with the prose- j cution counsel. Treason, he said, was a distinct crime, and was "more than a felony.' He read from indictments and opinions in other cases, including ' the Friends tax rebellion case in ' Pennsylvania in 1799 as bearing on ' this point and also cited provisions for confiscation of property as removing treason .from the felony clasr on the basis of punishment iniLcted.

Seemingly the Russian delegates have developed A new set of proposals. It is understood that at the meeting of the experts on the Russian question this afternoon the soviet delegates argued for the complete wiping out of the ivar debts and also relinquishment of nil arrears on interest on pre-war lebts. Simultaneously they asked for assurances that the powers would irrant loans sutlicient to enable Hus- 1 da to reorganize her national life. As the soviet had previously given the allies to understand that a scaling down of the war debts would be accepted, the demand of the delegates for a protocol cancelling these debts mused great surprise to the representatives of the powers, who reported o the chiefs of their respective delegations that the trend of today's neeting with the Bolsheviki indicated the possibility of insuperable ditli ulties in coming to some arrange- 1 nents with the soviet. The Russian request for extensive oans caused dissatisfaction becaus< t is recognized that it would be ex iremely ditlicult to guarantee credits 1 '.o Russia without some reasonabl issurance that they would be hand'ed iv :i tl'lllv ?I'snniisihle Rnss;i:i*i tr,.\ ?rnment.
