HISTORIC STEAMER
HAS CHECKERED CAREER
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 13 (by
Associated Press).—The City of Pana
ma, formerly the Crowley, after near
ly half a century as steamer, coal
barge and schooner has been sold to a
South American firm by her owner,
the Crowley Launch and Tugboat Co.,
and will be coinverted into a motor
ship, equipped writh the latest Diesel
engines.
She was originally an iron steamer
built at Chester, Pa., in 1873 and was
on the run to the Orient for the
Pacific Mail for many years. Evil times
befell her and one day she settled
on the mud flats of San Francisco bay
where she remained for two years.
Then she was raised, rebuilt and
turned out as a five masted schooner.
In tramp service she has paid for
herself many times over. She was
an object of curiosity at New York on
her last run from Buenos Aires and a
South American syndicate paid a good
price for her so that she might be
placed in service from South America
to New York.
JAl»AN AWAKENS TO
NEW REALIZATION
HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 13 (by As
sociated Press).—Anglo-Japanese re
lations, as the basis of Japan’s inter
national diplomacy, are being modified
with the rising “concensus of opinion
among the Japanese that Japan must
consider the United States in adjust
ing matters relating to world ques
tions,” according to C. Yada, new con
sul-general for Japan in the Hawaiian
Island. Mr. Yada formerly held a
similar post in New York and also in
Ottawa, Canada.
“American-Japanese friendship is
vital to the well being of Japan and
its people,” Consul General Yada de
clared at a reception given in his
honor by his countrymen. The con
sul-general added that, while his acts,
in executing his duty in Hawaii might
not always meet with the approval of
the Japanese in the islands, he re
lied on their co-operation and support.

NEW BRAND OF
COUNTERFEITING
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A new counterfeiting
“industry” has followed in the wake
of prohibition.
“This industry,” says Chief Moran of
the treasury secret service, “is the
counterfeiting of the strip label rev
enue stamp that goes over the corks
of bottles of whiskey that were for
merly termed “bottled in bond.” Those
engaged in the manufacture of whis
key are prepared to use those counter
feit stamps and we have arrested
three gangs already for doing it.”
At present the main problems of the
secret service, however, are to check
note-raising, which Chief Moran says
has increased to an “alarming extent”
; in the last year and the forgery of
government checks, which he adds
“has become almost an epidemic.”
Records of the secret service show,
according to Mr. Moran, more arrests
and investigations during the last
year than for any similar period.
