Captain 0fSchr.l’m Aiuncilcciarcs That Attack Upon Him Was Most

Cowardly S|nccSuhmar|nc Warfare

NEW ORLEANS, La., March 25-

Captain John Randall, of Liverpool, Nova Scotia. commander of the Brit-

ish schooner Tm Alone, declared to-

night that he was outside United States waters when hailed by the Patrol boat which subsequently sank the schooner.

"I did not stop because I knew that

I was within my rights,” the Nova Scotian declared, “and knew I was entitled to the freedom of the seas. This is the most cowardly attack on a merchant ship since the submarine warfare." Captain Randall said he carried only liquors aboard the f’m Alone.

The I'm Alonejsliome port is Mon- treal and she isowned by the I'm Alone Transportation Company. Captain Randall admitted that he had been engaged in the rum trade for some time.

A.M. Simpson, British viw-consul.

said he would make a report to the consul and in the meantime the con- sulate would have nothing to say.

Likely to Cause Trouble

WASHINGTON. March 25-The

sinking of the British schooner I’m Alone by United States prohibition officers off the Louisiana ‘coast is likely tio cause trouble for the United States Secretary of State. The Brit- ish embassy so far has confined it- self to requesting further informat- ion. The State Department is in- vestigating. Diplomatic delays will give everybody°a chance to think. The fact that at least one life was lost in the sinking of the I'm Alone emphasizes its importance as a test case. The guard service takes iihe position that the British schooner had long been suspected of rum run- ning. Ii holds that it black lima boat is target for United States cannon not only in U. S.` territorial waters iiui wiihlh the limits vaguely defined il-l treaties with- British countries which contain the phrase "One hour's sailing." The strict letter of the law supports this contention.

I-liilherto the United States coast

guard has confined its activities to search and seizure. In two or three cases U. S. courts have overruled the judgment of coast guardmen to what constitutes Jurisdiction in territorial

waters whiiih the resu1t_t.het seized Ships and their cargoes have been handed -back' to their foreign owners.

NEW YORK, Mar., 25-Cong'ress-

man F. H. Laguardia, retumed from his honeymoon with, his former secretary today, expressed the opin- ion that prohibition might eventual- ly plunge' the United states lhto war. '

“ls the Nation prepared to'go to

war?" he asked' reporters on land- i!l8 from the Pan-American steamer Crystobal, on account df prohibition? Are the new curisers built to fight England in the event that war should develop from the promlsuous sink- ing of the vessels of other nations be- cause they are alleged to be rum run- ners?` “I refer to the sinking of the Brit-

ish schooner I'm Alone off the Lou- isiana coest. I am inclined to think it is not only the first time we have heard of such sinking. Sea search and sinking of vessels led to iihe war of 1012 with England; it can do so again.

"In the event of war ov_er pro-

hibition how many volunteers could the nation raise for its army?"

OTTAWA. March 25.-Batteries of a severe electric storm offered their bombardment upon parliament early this afternoon and lightning, playing directly over the building. struck the peace tower and caused the rnig/hty pile of granite toshudder with the shock. Lightning conductors pre- vented any serious damage. Only the tower elevators were put out of order. A second blinding dash struck at the southeast corner of the centre block, just above the rooms of the prss ,correspondent-s, causing some consternation. There was no darn- age here however. The storm riding down over the Gatineau Hills broke to the north and approaching rapidly until the day was as block as night, it seemed to centre first above Hull, across the

There was near panic in the west

New Method Of

Handling Fish

_ (Canadian Press) 0'l.'l'AWA, March 25.-Revolutlom

sry methods in the handling of fish are anticipated in a. bulletin issued today by experts of the biological board of Canada for the department of marine and fisheries.

Dealing with't.he halibut branch of

the industry the report discusses ways and means of eradicating dlsool oration of fish, which is responsible for substantial losses in the catches on the Pacific Coast each year. Tests have shown that by the use of chlorine in small quantities by a system of filtration for the water used in ice making plants the organ- ism can be eliminated and the ice kept clean. .

Once the halibut boats are freed

from the new present bacteria which dlscolors and renders valueless so many fish, and the clean ice is put to use, there will be no loss of any catch because of discoloration. it is pointed out in the bulletin.

The retirement of Premier Fer-
