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?"
HALIFAX, March 25-Capt. J, T.

schooner I’m Alone, when summoned
to do so by United States coast guard
officers is known in British admiralty
circles as Lieutenant-Conunancler J.

OTTAWA. March 25.-Batteries of

bombardment upon parliament early
this afternoon and lightning, playing

peace tower and caused the rnig/hty

shock. Lightning conductors pre-
vented any serious damage. Only
the tower elevators were put out of

at the southeast corner of the centre
block, just above the rooms of the

consternation. There was no darn-
age here however.

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.

I RETIREY
(Special to The Guardian)
'roR.oN*1lo. March as-Retirement
of G. Howard Ferguson from the
premiership and a provincial election
about midsummer are the latest
rumors in, Queens Park corridors.
There has been talk for some time
of an early election, and June had
been mentioned as the likely month,
but the prediction of those in touch
with the government’s plans is that
it will be later in the summer.
The retirement of Premier Fer-
guson has been talked of for a oou-
ple of years now, since he made the
remark that he aimed to leave omce
'and get some rest after he was 60.
But ic was believed that he had
changed his mind. at least for the
time being. Now, however there
are indications that Mr. Ferguson is
contemplating retirement. The
chances are that he will not Bo to
the country again.
