• ART SMUGGLING
CHARGE PLACED
AGAINST ABBOT
BERLIN, Aug. 20 (by Associated
Press).—Abbot Babriel, of St. Boni
fa^^monastry, has been arrested at
Munich charged with smuggling art
objects and securties worth many
millions of marks across the Swiss
border, according to the Tages Zie
tung’s Munich correspondent.
The monastry was to be trans
ferred to Switzerland and it is al
leged that Gabriel arranged with two
Munich art dealers to include sev
eral boxes of paintings and art ob
jects for shipment with the monas
tery furniture. This was not detect
ed until arrival at Lindau where the
boxes of paintings valued at 6,000,
marks were discovered while se
curities valued at 800,000 marks were
found sewn up in a mattress. It is
charged that Abbot was to receive
over 1,000,000 marks with which he
hoped to retrieve pecuniary losses
suffered in founding another relig
ious establishment. A high Berlin
official is said to be implicated in
the matter and art dealers have also
been arrested.
TWO PROJECTS ARE
LOOMING UP STRONG
FOR BUSY KETCHIKAN
4
Ketchikan has two big projects
promised which, if they materialize
may forge that enterprizing section
to the front until the population
reaches twenty thousand. First is
the pioduction of a ferry car via
l'rince Rupert over the Grand Trunk
railroad, and the second is the de
velopment of Thorne Arm water
power to furnish electrical power
for pulp mills to be located on the
channel at Ketchikan. If the ferry
system is established all American
'w- fish, ore and lumber will be loaded
aboard cars in the Ketchikan rail
read yards.
At Prince Rupert the Grand Trunk
has installed a car ferry service for
service with a similar slip at Swan
son bay, where the Whalen Pulp
•Company is operating on a large
scal^^ Last winter engineers repre
senting the Grand Trunk in Ketchi
kan were making surveys of the
water front to ascertain tarea for a
ferry landing and railroad yards.
The Tangass-Alaska Pulp & Paper
company has locatedsites at Carrol
inlet and Thorne arm, adjacent to
Ketchikan. It is planned to build
a reservoir to store water from Big
Lake, Third lake and Mirror lake.
The hydro-electric plant would be
constructed at Carrol inlet and car
ried by transmission wires to Ketchi
kan.

WAR SUPPLIES
FOR UKRAINIA
GIVE TROUBLE
PARIS, Aug. 19 (by Associated
Press).—A job lot of American war
stocks sold to a Ukrainian co-opera
tive society last spring for $6,000,000
and later taken back by the American
authorities, has caused the French war
department almost as much trouble
as the liquidation of the remainder
which sold for $850,000,000.
One part of the stocks is today
warehoused at Langres, France, where
the Frfench courts have undertaken to
determine their actual ownership.
Another part is warehoused at Mar
seilles in the name of the Ukrainian
society and cannot be touched by the
American authorities although up to
this time any disposal or departure
of the stocks has been prevented.
The larger part of the stocks ware
housed at Bordeaux, was ransacked
by the Ukrainians for choice bits and
later by thieves but the remainder
has just been recovered by the Amer
ican authorities and sold to the Jugo
slav and Czecho-Slovakian govern
ments.
The only boat that managed to sail
with a cargo of the stocks was turned
back in May by an American destroy
er after it had left Constantinople and
the cargo was later disposed of there,
little money remaining after the
freight charges had been paid to the
Ukrainians. v
The stocks, consisting largely of
clothing and medicines were sold on
the understanding that they would be
used for the commission which was
then in France and accepted in pay
ment of notes guaranteed by the
Ukrainian government of that period.
Some months afterward it Avas discov
ered that the agents of the co-opera
tive society were peddling the stocks
about France and the commission de
cided to take them over.
