Ships at New York Stripped of Li

Kay Transfer tc Canada.
New York, Oct. 10. Every bottle
of l-quor on four American passen
ger vessels in port were removed to
day andT orders from the shipping
board so that the dry agents and custom-;
men will have nothing to do but
c; erk the inventory and cart the
wire and whisky ff to the army base
in Bruokiyn for storage. 'John D. Ap
pleby, zone dry chief, said the co
operation given the shipping
board officials under -the Daugherty
bone dry ruling on ocean liners made
unnecessary any such conduit as a
raid or a search."
The stenmers President Polk and
President Roosevelt were the first to
go dry. Between 4.000 and ,000 bot
tles of ir.toxiccnts have been taken
of." the President Poik r.nd almost as
large a quantity from the President
RooseveK. Mr. Appleby said. The
,st.v).-s aboard the President Arthur
end Susquehanna' also were removed.
British Boats'-itay Transfer
London. Oct. ''10. The London
morning newspapers give consider
ate prominence oday to the ruling
of Attorney General Daugherty. in
Washington prohibiting liquor on
vessels within American waters,
printing interviews with shipmen,
reports of the general feeling in the
shipping trade, details of liquor sales
cbonrd liners, and speculations upon
changing the ports of destination in
tht- event the ruling is upheld and
enforced. It is stated that a meeting
or the members of the North At
lantic conference will he held in Lon
don this week at' which the whole
question will be discussed.
The Daily Telegraph quotes an of
ficial of the Cunard liner in Liver
pool ns saying the British steamship
operators stand to suffer a big loss if
they are unable to sell liquor aboard
their vessels, and that it would be
better for them to divert some ships
to Halifax or other northern ports
than to lose the profits from the sale
of intoxicants.
NOW DOING NICELY.
The latest reports from the Mercy
hospital in Chicago state that Miss
Helen Esrenbercre'r, daughter of Mr.
