(By W. It. “Eieatley, Canadian Press Stall Correspondent)

NEW YORK, J.‘.'.l., 27—The Coast Guard officer in charge of the Coast Guard cutter 145, when it shelled and mortally irouuded Captain Will- iam P. (Ziuett of the Canadian mot- or vowel Josephine K. last Sat/ur- day night, was intoxicated when he boarded the motor croft, according to first mate Wesley Anderson, a native of Newfoundland, who today ls nominally in command of the seized vessel.

Anderson told the Canadian Press today there is no question of doubt on the point and declared that the officer. named by the Josephinds mate as K. Schmidt, boatswain, said don't let those fellows give me any more liquor. I am too drunk now. This was after a shell from the cut- ter had crashed through the Juseph- inc K's pilot house and had struck Captain Cluett, who died later in a Staten Island Hospital. The man threatened to shoot one of our crew. Allan Falkenham. said Anderson. He went up to Falkenham and I heard him say you are not one of the members of the crew and I will have to shoot you, With that he pointed a gun at Falkcnhum. but did not fin. Falkenhamis home is in Lunenburg. 1n support of his contention that Schmidt was in charge of the CG- 145, Anderson produced a receipt purporting to have been signed by the cfilcer in charge uoknowledsins the custody for safekeeping of in- strumrnts from the Canadian boat.

wniis it is my difficult to obtain details and accurate figures on the proposed capital structure of the merger, it became clear from several sources today that the largo holding company would probably be Abitibi and ths control would remain in Canada The bonds of all tho separ- ate companies would be left as they are. The Holding Company would, however, call in the preferred stock of the separate companies joining the merger, and issue new preferred stock.

J. Ross Byrne, Barrister,‘ Of Liverpool, N. S., One Of The Number Held- Conspiracy To Defraud Govt.

OTTAWA, Jan. 2'l—Officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police moved today against leaders of an alleged liquor smuggling ring and arrested Harry Low of Windsor this afternoon and Capt. Geo. Downey in Cornwall, Ont, tonight. J. Ross Byrne, barrister of Liverpool, N. S., was arrested Saturday at Sault Ste. Maris- At the same time a warrant was out for the arrest of the pro- brietor of a warehouse at Liverpool, N. S.

The men are charged with con- spiracy to defraud the government and on the basis of information in the possession '01 the department further charges of attempting to bribe officers in tho discharge of their duties may be laid.

Tho object of the alleged conspir- acy was to avoid the payment of ex- cise and other taxes on liquor by bringing back into Ontario liquor al- ready shipped out to St. Pierre Mi- quelon. After arrival at the French Islands the liquor was allegedly brought to Nova. Scotia and loaded on cars for shipment by rail to On- tario. The liquor was billed as fish and the cases packed in the car were mixed with casu 0f fish.

The arrests are the culmination of several weeks of intensive work by officers of the national revenue pre- ventive service and the Royal Can-

adian Mounted Police. The seizure of a carlond of liquor at Truro. N. S., before Christmas enabled the offic- ers to trace the route by which the alleged smugglers attempted to get tho liquor to Ontario.

BOMBAY, Jan. 2'l—“We can sus- pend Judgment on Prime Minister MacDonald's statement of policy at the Round Table Conference in London," said Mahatma Gandhi. revered leader of the Indian Na- tionalists today, "but we cannot sus- pend the activities of the Congress party." ‘lhls first statement of pol- lcy from Gandhi since his release from prison last night, was in line with the earlier decision of the work- ing committee of the Nationalist Congress.

Resident's Address

In Opening his address the pres- ident, Ml‘. Jblln A, Dewar, Ngw Perth made reference to the sterling qualities of the late Dairy Suprin- tendent Mr. John A. MacDonald who Passed BWHY in May last. The rs- port, Mr. Dewar stated would not be bright or optimistic. During‘ 193g thg price of butter was on the average l0 cents lower than during the year Previous. The causes of the slump in general were world depression and outside competition. In addition, the season was dry, although the eastern section of the province had adequate moisture up to the time that green feed could be substituted for grass.

Mr. Dewar advocated the raising of more greenfeed, peas, vetches, oats, corn. For the maturing of the latter crop the 1930 season was particular. ly good. The farmers should desire to produce more dairy commodities during the coming year, although it W111 be m1 unhiu Job. Speaking from Personal experience the president recommended cow testing, and advo- cated the adoption of the practice by all dairy farmers. There are several factors on which success will depend, notably the better feeding of cattle, and the production of less potatoes, In the latter connection the speaker stated that no farmer should grow more potatoes than he can store from frost. In any case, he believed the outlook for the potato market for "19 901111118 year is not especially bright, as Cuba and United states have raised hostile tariffs. Much limd at Present devoted to the po- tato crop could very profitably be utilized for the growing 9g “we feed. Island farmers import too much feed which could be produced 5Q, hvme- Last year 515 curloads of flour
