FRISCO RUM WAR BECOMES HEATED SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—San Francisco's war against alleged Canadian rum smuggling was rapidly developing into a hot two-sided fight today with both prohibition authorities and indicated Canadian rum runners determined to fight it out all winter if necessary. On the one side there is a libel action on file against Wm. B. Hamilton, collector of the port of San Francisco, demanding the return of the seized liquor ship Quadra, with attorneys Bert Schlesinger, S. C. Wright and Jackson Ralston acting on behalf of the Consolidated Exporters, Inc., of Vancouver, B. C., owners of the vessel. "It is now over two months since the Quadra was seized," Atty. Schlesinger said, "and in that time the U.S. government has not taken any definite action against the ship we are going to try and have her returned to her owners." "We maintain that the Quadra was illegally seized," Schlesinger continued. "In fact, we intend to establish that the ship was 16 miles off shore at the time, and consequently far beyond the jurisdiction of the United States." Striking back at the action of Fröderick R Anderson, Vancouver attorney indicted in connection with the seizure of the Quadra, who returned to Canada without permission of the San Francisco federal court, thus forfeiting his $10,000 bond, Federal Judge John Partridge not only denounced the cynical disrespect of certain Canadians for the prohibition law," but said he proposed to set the bail of Anderson at $20,000 for two other prohibition violation charges against him. Then Judge Partridge doubled the bail of six others indicted in the Quadra case. COMING OF CHRIST NOT FAR DISTANT The Sunday evening sermon at the Undenominational Church of The Lord (Holiness.) 511 North Olive-st., was preached by Miss Eleanor Heughan, assistant pastor, from Revolution 6:16-17: "And said to the mountains and rocks; Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of His wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?" In the morning Miss Heughan had preached upon the spiritual coming of Christ, taken from Malachi 2:1-3, but in the evening she dwelt upon His literal coming which she affirmed to be not far distant. She said that all Bible prophecy, with the exception of a very small portion, has been fulfilled, and that which remains could be fulfilled within a very short time. One of the outstanding signs of the times is the great falling away from the faith of the full gospel of Christ among professors of Christianity when science, philosophy, every theory and cult and lam that can be thot of, have crowded out the simple doctrines of the Scriptures. Christ said that this should be, that He would scarcely find faith on the earth when He came (Luke 18:5). This, she said, is faith to truly believe the teachings of Christ, to be justified, dedicated, cleansed from carnality, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. How many people, she asked, have that faith? The religion of Jesus Christ means a general clean-up from attic to cellar, and it means too that you straighten up your back life, right the wrongs that you have done in the past to your fellow-man, and pay your neglected bills. The afternoon sermon was preached by Mrs. Elsa Richards from Luke 12:32: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Mrs. Richards said that the way with the Lord has never been EXPECT OTHER DEBT PROPOSITIONS WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—negotiations for settlement French debt of over $4,000,000 already under way, high treason officials anticipated today some funding proposals may be received from Italy and Germany, two other principal debtors.

Then Judge Partridge doubled the bail of six others indicted in the Quadra case. "To make sure none of the other defendants in this case follows Anderson's example, I will raise the bail of Geo. Ford, captain of the Quadra, from $10,000 to $20,000, and the same in the case of each of the two mates of the vessel." The bails of Max Ripstein, Vincent Quartaro and Chas. H.

WILSON MEMORIAL WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The senate today adopted the house resolution setting aside Dec. 15 for point memorial services for the late Pres. Woodrow Wilson. HESITANCY IN STOCK MARKET NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Considerable hesitancy prevailed in the stock market today and both in the number of shares sold and in the movements of individual stocks, the records were somewhat below those of the last three or four sessions. Railroad shares were the leaders in another brisk upward movement of prices in the foreseen, and both profit taking and short selling were easily absorbed as Wabash common and pfd, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Kansas City Southern and other railroad shares swept along to new high price levels for the year. Specialty stocks like United States Realty, which completed a 29 point rise from the low of last week, U.S. Distributors, Reynolds Spring and Industrials which enjoyed the sponsorship of strong bullish pools also participated in the forward movement. But the main body of stocks was under pressure and this was accelerated as soon as the advance in rails and specialties had spent its force. Washington absorbed considerable attention and the meeting of congress, generally classed as a bearish factor in the stock market, will be closely followed for indications of the trend of new business legislation. It is believed in Wall Street that little may be expected from the short session of the congress, after which the country will be allowed to enjoy a long legislative holiday. Business and industrial developments of the day were favorable the steel corporation reporting its operations at 72 per cent of capacity against 70 per cent a week ago, and the independents at 70 per cent. Professional traders were generally bearish today and their offerings of speculative leaders, like General Electric, American and Baldwin prevented any extended rally in prices in that direction. The independent steels and the copper, which were the leaders in the forward movement in the last few sessions, were heavy, though losses were mostly fractional. Bearish attacks on Replogle and others of the pool stocks which have been forging ahead briskly of late, sold from one to three points below their recent high levels. The oils were steady on a lighter volume of transaction but none of the active stocks in this group were able to improve on Monda's closing prices. Shipping stocks again Denmark demand 17.50 cg 54.
