BUSINESS HOURS: SATURDAY: Included Among the Items Were the Stalking of a Rum Fleet, Bucking Ice to Carry Fuel to Isolated Settlements and Quelling a Mutiny on Board a Coastal Hardest Winter Generation Steamer-Known in BOSTON, April 8. (By the Associated Press) A program of infinite variety including among its items the stalkinjr of the rum fleet, bucking ice-bound bays to fullefci settlements, and quelling a mutiny on a coastal schooner, is revealed in the logs of the coast guard cutters operating on the North Atlantic coast for the winter cruising period just closed. The hardest winter weather known for a generation added to the routine of the service such work as carrying food, grain and fuel to Maine island settlements isolated by the ice pack transporting physicians to the sick and similar errands Vessels and cargoes valued mercv. at mil- lions of dollars were assisted by the three cutters cruising in the North Atlantic during the period of winter storms. The log of the Tampa, which left for the.

North Atlantic Ice patrol more than a month ago shows that that vessel alone from January 3 to February 21 boarded and examined vessels, assisted vessels of an aggregate value of $1,835,000 with cargoes valued at and cruised 3,544.9 miles. The aggregate number of persons on board the vessels assisted by this cut-! ter was 104. The rifhest prize broueht In hy th Tampa -was the British steamship M. S.

HARDING BACK IN WASH INGTQN Executive AVill Be At His Desk Again This Morning After Five Weeks' Vacation Has Many Important Matters to Settle Before the Middle of June When the Western Trip Will Probably Be Begun, It Is Reported WASHINGTON, April 8. President and Mrs. Harding returned to Washington to-day from their five weeks' southern vacation. The presidential party arrived shortly after noon and went directly to the White House.

The trip from Augusta, where the President's party spent last week, was made without incident. Mrs. Harding, it was said was only slightly fatigued by the sixteen-hour train ride, indicating the gain in strength resulting from the five weeks spent in the South. The improvement In her health was further shown by the fact that she walked to the automobile at the station entrance where as on starting, the trip, tiie automobile was driven into the railroad yards directly to the steps of the President's private car. Mr.

Harding soon after luncheon visited his othce and spent two hours there, looking over accumulated mail and arranging to resume work in earnest to-morrow morning. While at the executive offices Secretary Weeks called -to welcome the President back and the two talked for several minutes.

The President has not yet finally decided on the western trip. Among tiie matters expected to receive Mr, Harding's attention within the next week or two are the sugar price situation, in which the traffic commission is expected to submit a preliminary report soon, and the merchant marine problem.

Several appointments are soiin to be announced including a member of each of the three groups composing the railroad labor board, several of the additional federal judges created by Congress, and a member of the federal reserve board to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of Milo I).

Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia yesterday that he planned to bring about conferences between P.ord Robert Cecil, a leading figure in the activities of the League Nations, who Is now in the United States and various Republican senators.

REVOLT EXPECTED Authorities At Memel Have Taken Strong Measures to Suppress Movement Started by the German Inhabitants RIGA. Esthonia. April 8. (By The Associated Fress) It is persistently reported here that Lithuania is making considerable military preparations in th region of Vjlna from which early developments are ejtpected. Numerous Oerman officers are entering the Lithuanian army service.

Rumors are prevalent that an armed anti-Lithuanian rising at Memel is imminent. BERLIN. April 8. (By The Associated Press) Dispatches received from Memel say the Lithuanian authorities have taken strong measures to suppress a general strike called by the German inhabitants in protest against the incorporation of the Memel region into Lithuania.

ANTf-LITH UA MIAN (Spccial to the Free Prcss) WILLISTON, April two-way covered highway bridge built in 1S60 fell into the river about noon yesterday-after huge cakes of ice had battered its middle pier.

After traveling a mile and a half down the river it finally lodged, in two parts, on the rocks and in the water a quarter of a mile below the Central Vermont railway bridge. The bridge. 125 feet long, is an old landmark and was thought almost impregnable, but the terrific battering of the big ice cakes crumbled is middle pier and the structure settled at 12:30 o'clock and started its journey, sometimes at the rate of four or five miles an hour. When it came to the meadow of the Fay farm it settled there for about an hour. Meanwhile W.

Staid and respectable Fifth Avenue was given a thrill when seven prohibition agents armed with search warrants raided a private club in the exclusive iK.Vt Thirty Eighth street district early to-day. Names of dozens of men and women in evening dress were taken by the officers, who arrested three club employe. Twenty rases of liquor said by the agents to have come from a warehouse raided yesterday and where in liquors seized, was taken to prohi-! bit ion headquarters as evidence.

At the same time, officers of the narcotic squad' raided a fashionable apartment house two blocks away where a quantity of opium and several complete smoking! layouts were said to have been found.

ESS UPSWING CONTINUED Many Branches of Industry Are Operating At Capacity 316,000 Automobiles Were Manufactured in March NEW April S. (By the Associated Press) Although considerable Irregularity was apparent in the chief financial markets during the past week, reports from industrial district showed that the strong upswing In business is being continued.

Pig iron production is at a new high level for all time and a. similar condition probably exists with regard to steel. The secondary buying movement in steel products, which started last December, and which was superimposed on one that had begun in the spring, has come to a pause. This is explained, however, by the fact that production is now extraordinarily large and that consumers are assured all the steel whUh their plants can handle. Meanwhile the steel trade believes that nttrimnrh Hie rise in prices has been arrested, the present, rate of activity will be maintained for a.

number of months ahead. Tut hranehes of industry are operating at what amounts to capacity may be seen from tne ligun-s im mobile production for March. wmp 316,000 cars were manufactured in that month, which exceeds by S7.0O0 the best previous record, made in June of last year. Over twice as many cars were inade in the first three months of this year than last, the total being slightly inore than 867,000. Makers believe that the total for the year will be 3,000,000, but point out.

significantly, that favorable conditions will be needed in the materials market. Railroad carloadings also add their testimony to the other evidence of intense activity" continuing to set new high records for the season-of the year. In this connection much interest has been displayed in the program announced by the American Railway association. Anticipating further gains in traffic and a wholly unprecedented autumn movement of freight, the rail-i roads have authorized the expenditure of tms jear or mi. Aixni- eMOU Ol men joooih 11.

Possible efforts by the treasury to have Congress cut: the surtax rates on incomes further were forecast to-night in a formal statement by Secretary Mellon, who asserted that March collections income and profits taxes, aggregating- $463,000,000 had fully justified his prediction that downward revisions would have the effect of actually Increasing' rather than decreasing the federal revenue.

Coupled with this statement was a declaration by Mr. Mellon 'that the March collections which were under the lower rates of the new law or such revision as has been ac complished," provided a practical answer to the tax problem and!

April 8. At least ten lives were lost when the Dwight sterions- steam lighter John iy sank off CnttLvhunk in Vineyard Sound last Frida according to the here to-night. Men beliefs of fishermen who knew Captai John F.

King of New York and michael of Jersey were believed to ptain Malcolm Car- City, both of whom isve been on board the John Dwight oil her last trip, viewed the bodies of the from the waters of 'eight men recovered the Sound yesterday and failed to recognize either man. Captain King left his home at Jefferson avenue. Brooklyn. N. 121 last a me Tuesday with his son, llarrv, it liec known here, but it could not he'juisl-l tively learned whether he was- on board.

Captain Carmlchael. whose home is tie- Sieved to be No. 4 Duncan Court. Jer- i sey City, was believed to have shipped aboard the John, Dwight. as seaman but it Is thought that authority on board was shared between the two captains.

The men who viewed the bodies of the seamen failed to identify either! captain were Captain Robert P. Moon and his mate, Patrick F. McMurray of the tug T. J. Hooper, from Norfolk for Boston with barges.

Captain Moon said that when Viet ween Block Island and the entrance to Vineyard Sound last Friday he passed an open boat of th dory type and small wreckage painted white a.s well as a life preserver without a Captain Lewis N. BHx. owner of th" John Dwight, in a telephone conversation with authorities here from his home in Bj-ooklyn said that lie had given up ho'pe that any of the officers or the crew arc alive but stated that he did not understand why. nothing has been heard of the large boat carried by the Dwight. The Dw'glu carried tw, umaii boats.

The smaller of the two was found yesterday with the- body of a drowned seaman lying face down within it. Captain Blix also stated that lie did not know how many men the vessel carried, explaining that be left ail details of shipping a crew to the captain. The eight bodies which were found by fishermen on Saturday at Gay bead and Menemsha Bight on the southwesterly extremity of Martha's vineyard were still awaiting identification to-day. It was hoped that at least sonic of the men would be identified with the expected arrival to-morrow of persons for that purpose. Humors were still current that the John Dwight had been sunk in a rum runners' battle, and the appearance of the three mysterious strangers who refused to talk of their business other than of their mission for repairs added color to the tales.

The statement of the medical examiner that no traces of violence had been found on any of the bodies of the eight known victims was considered as' rendering the tales of battle improbable. The caus of the sinking of the vessel and the nature of her cargo. was still a question of conjecture to-night, but most of the fishermen of the Island held to the theory that the John Dwight was rammed by a large steamer as she lav anchored without lights in Tine-yard Sound. The fact that barrels of ale were found floating in the water with the bodies of the seamen gave rise to the belief that such was the John Dwight cargo; but the theory was also advanced tha. they have been part of the supercargo of the.

boat which may have rammed her. LIKENS UNITED STATES TO OLD BACHELOR PARTS. April R.

The newspaper concludes by suggest ing that Lord Robert Cecil spend time more profitably in trying to his i enn- I vlnce Europe that she must get along without America. learn to TREND OF FREE STATE i IS TOW ARD PEACE i iftumaiui DFRLTN. April 8. (By The Associated Press) The steady trend of the Free State toward conditions of comparative peace, and order is the subject of general comment. Isolated outrages continue to be reported and there is still much to be Vccomplished before the normal economic life of the conn-try is restored, but optimism has taken the place of despair and there are most encouraging Blgns that the end of the republican campaign against the government is in sight.

Courts have been established and are administering the law with little difficulty, while effective machinery to enforce their judgments Is functioning in areas which quite recently were the scene of violence and disorder. Thus the government is still receiving a much greater proportion of its dues in the shape of taxes than formerly. I I I I Jan I prevails at Moscow. While no reason for the censorships at Moscow is divulged, various sit- uations might account for the action of the foviet authorities.

"The Protestant church prides itself on its faithfulness to American ideals, but the klan In my opinion does not measure up. While I deny the right of any group of citizens to tell me or any other man what our type of Amer-; tcatiism ought to be. reserving the right to decide that for myself, I nevertheless asked tiie King Kleagle of Pcnnsyi-i vania what klansmen meant by 'V' per cent Americans'.
