New International complications IK I vv'- loomed yesterday when the United States government arraigned twenty members of the British rum runner Quadra's crew on charges of con splracy to violate the national pro hibitlon law. It was disclosed that the government would base its case on the contention that the seizure of the ship was made while the Quadra was within an hour's steaming distance of an American AUBURN LOCKS SCARE CHINESE possession, the Farallone Islands, and would disregard the ship's posi at eta tion with relation to the general coast line of the country.

That is one of the conclusions of Lieutenant R.

R. Lukens of the Coast and Geodetle Survey, commander of the Pioneer. Returning from the Arctic yesterday, Lieut. Lukens announced that the Bering Sea Is Just two miles from the place where all mape place it. Lukens has been in charge of the work of charting the unknown regions of the north, which have hitherto known their existence on the map as the result of Russian surveys made over a nundred years ago.

But the Bering sea will be fixed In its proper place from henceforth; It was charted two miles off to the south. And Lieut. Lukens, who is a college mate of Major Martin, the first commander of the 'round-the-world flyers, who directed the search for Martin along the Alaskan coast, said that the intrepid aviator hit a nob on the top of a small hill. "It wasn't a mountain that Martin ran Into," continued Lukens. "If it had been a mountain Martin wouldnt have lived to tell the tale.

"He merely scraped over a nob that brushed the pontoons from the airplane, consequently demolishing it; but a mountain never, He was blinded by a blizzard one of the worst In 20 years and couldn't aee where he was going. That was the way that I understood It from Martin himself." The Pioneer will continue the work of taking soundings next spring and summer.

Chambers wants to know particularly where his daughter had been visiting In Ran Francisco; where the mysterious taxlcab driver, J.

W. Grlce had been taking her upon nocturnal expeditions; what Grice's relations were with 'his daughter and If there la any possibility that her death wis not by her own hand. Further, Chambers has brought his attorney. Major' Frederick Drake, O. R.

Judge advocate of the Forty-first Division, of Portland, to Burlingame and instructed him to take steps to have the habit-forming narcotic drug of which Marllouise was a victim placed under the same ban as opium and other narcotics. Drake said yesterday that he would immediately institute steps to that end in Oregon himself and wauld co-operate with State authorities In California with a view to preventing further tragedies of this sort In other families. SEEKS WHOLE TRUTH. Chambers, he said, was completely broken by the death of his daughter, of whom he was very fond, and by the consequent revelations of his domestic affairs. He wants the whole matter cleared up for his own satisfaction, preferring the truth to any doubts in the matter, no matter what the truth may reveal.

James Foese, said to be the head of the Burns agents in Burlingame. was quoted yesterday as declaring that startling statements were to be expected shortly, although Chambers and his attorney apparently knew nothing of this report. Foese, newly upon the scene, was apparently much Impressed with the report that three men had called upon Marllouise at her apartment on the evening she went on the fatal ride with Grlce. This report has been current since the early stagps of the Investigation. STORY OF THREATS.

Foese is said to have stated that he had located one of these men and to have unearthed a stoey of threats against Marllouise as well as one of a mysterious man from whom she fled to Burlingame from San Francisco. Burns detectives have been at the palatial Chambers home in Burlingame almost constantly since the finding of Marilouise's body last Wednesday night in her father's store. Chambers has endeavored to tell them everything he knows of his daughter's life. The detectives have repeatedly questioned Grice, both in Chambers presence and with Major Drake. They are now checking up on what he has told them.

The note to her father, which the girl is supposed to have written Just before her death, has also closely examined. ABSOLVES Major Drake said yesterday that he was personally satisfied that Crlce knew but little more about the girl's death than he had already revealed, although he was doubtless trying to shield her as much as possible. Chief of Police Thomas Burke of Fan Mateo received a telegram yesterday from Marilouise's mother, Mrs. Louise Chambers of Washington, D. in which she stated that she had Just learned of her daughter's death and asking for details.

Chief Burke said that although the case was not In his territory he had replied by wire and letter, giving such information as he had but expressing no opinion. Mr. Chambers is quoted in dispatches from Washington as expressing doubt that Marllouise killed herself, Faying: "She was afraid of guns. If she had planned to take her own life, she would not have taken that means." District Attorney Swart of San Mateo county, who was out of the rounty yesterday, has not completed his investigation, but Apparently the case has been dropped by Chief of Police Harper of Burlingame. Further action on the part of Swart is expected upon his return home.

Girl's Mother Denies Victim Used Narcotics Oct. 13. (By Universal Sen-Ice.) Mrs. Louise Chambers, who Is prostrated at her residence here over the mysterious death of her 16-year-old daughter, Mariloulse, at Burlingame last Wednesday, today denied charges made by her husband, Frank Ross Chambers that he was not the father of the dead girl. A birth certificate In Mrs.

Chambers' possession, Issued at Portland, Oregon, where the girl was born. Is declared to show that Chambers Is the father of her daughter. Astonished at her divorced husband's denial of his parentage of her daughter, Mrs. Chambers said he could not understand his reason, for the statement. Controverting the information that Marllouise was expelied from a fashionable girls' school here because of her use of narcotics, the mother declared her daughter was always a "perfectly normal girl." "Any talk of her taking drugs at that time is absurd.

The Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco. According to Frank Davis, Albany motorcycle officer, the car was registered in the name of Mayor Rolph and the chauffeur gave his name as P. B.

Lane, 681 Ellis street, San Francisco. Yesterday Edward Ralney, secretary to the mayor, said Rolph had been out of town on the night of the arrest and that he never heard of the chauffeur, Lane. The mayor could not be reached. According to the officer the car was traveling 35 miles an hour on San Pablo avenue in Albany. When he stopped it the chauffeur asked him: "Will it make any difference to you to know whose car this is?" "Not if It belongs to the President of the United States," Davis said he replied.

"Well, I guess a mere mayor has no chance with you," the chauffeur is said to have returned. The driver told Davis he was returning to a Crockett sugar refinery in which the mayor is said to have an interest. In the car at the time of the arrest were a man and and I answered her and obeyed!
