I?8t obstado to the restoration of the
great ship has boon removed, and the
accomplishment of this constitutes a
feat without a parallel in the annals
ot shipping.
German interests demanded $1.000,
00? trom the Shipoing Board ten
months ago for a copy of the*#lans
and specifications of the Leviathan.
This extortionate price was fixed in
the belief that the United States must
pay it or be unable to put the seized
ship back into service as a passenger
liner.
American .efficiency, however, has
taught German greed a lesson. To-day
plans and specifications complete aro
in American hands, and the work of re?
conditioning the huge liner on a basis
that would make her the finest vessel
in the world could be begun to-morrow.
To bring this about has cost hardly
a quarter of the sum demanded by the
Germans, but the saving of money is
only an incident. The reproduction
of the plans and specifications under
the conditions encountered ?3 the
achievement of what German shipping
interests regarded as the impossible.
And down to the minutest detail every
step in connection with the work has
been done by Americans.
Members of the technical staff of
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, under the leadership of VV,
F.^Tiibbs, chief of, the construction de?
partment of the company, have per?
formed the task.
When the Leviathan's use as a troop?
ship was ended and the vessel was
tinned over to the Shipping Boarc
she was little more than a shell. Hei
interior fittings had been torn out tc
carry as many soldiers as possible
and little or nothing was left of th<
original cabin arrangements. The hare
usage she had received during the wai
had added to the general deterioration
and, with all the original plans ant
specifications in the hands of the Gcr
mans, the task of refitting her for tin
ocean passenger service was an ap
palling one. It seemed manifest to tin
Shipping Board that the first step U
take was to obtain the plans from th<
builders of the vessel.
When the Germans came back, how
ever, with a demand for $1,000,000, thi
board refused to be held up. Settini
aside the question of price, it was fe!
that the German plans might be s>
falsified as to caus'e disaster to th
Leviathan if they wore followed out
The fact that all the measurements ii
' the German plans were on the metri
system meant that thousands of con
versions would have to be made
There was also the point that much o
the material called for in connectio
with the machinery and auxiliary part
would not be available in the America
metal markets. Then, too, as all th
specifications were in German, a p'rea
amount of translation would have t
be done.
When it osme to finding American
to do the work of preparing new plan
i an? specification!-,, however, the Ship
1 mg Board hau a small field to draw
on.
"In December of lest year," ?aid Mr.
Oibbs yesterday, "the International
Mercantile Marine Company made a
contract with the Shipping Board to
prepare plans and specifications for
, the reconditioning of the Leviathan, on
, which bids should be invited. The
; underlying reason for making the ar?
rangement was that thin was the only
American company having an organi?
zation experienced in the problems of
handling such large vessels as the Le
! viathan, an experience gained by the
: company's exports in handling the
Olympic and other b\z shins of the
fleet.
i "These experts, together with others
I loaned by lar";e American shipyards,
| were put in charge of the work of
preparing entirely new plans and
? specifications. Not a scrap of pre
| pared data was available. There was
nothing to go by but the ship itself.
We knew nothing about her. We did
not even know where her center of
gravity was, and there was therefore
?nothing upon which we could base our
I distribution of weights.
"To do the work set us it was neces
; sary to measure every inch of the
ship. That this was something of a
task seems evident when you consider
that tlie Leviathan is as big a proposi?
tion as the Pennsylvania Hotel, for in?
stance.
"Work was started on December 17,
I 1919, and, despite the handicaps en
; countered, the plans and specifications
? for reconditioning were in form for
bids on the following April 9, and bids
wore opened on May 15. This does not
mean that all the details were com?
pleted then, but to-day everything is in
? readiness to go ahead with the recon?
ditioning.
"War experience has shown that oil
and not coal is the fuel for liner serv
' ice. The Leviathan will be equipped
! for oil burning.
"Pending reconditioning, the liner
1 as a crew of more than a hundred
trained men working all the time on
her upkeep. These include electricians,
carpenters, sealers and engineers. At
! our request, the Shipping Board agreed
that sufficient guards should be cm
i ployed to protect the vessel from fires
, or any attempts to injure the ma
j chinery. Four fires have been put out
j by guard?.
"In the fact that everything that is
1 being done in connection with the Le
i viathan to-day is done by Americans
there is an especial gratification."

28 Arrested in
Raid on Newark
Whisky Curb
(Continuer] from ?aoo one)
the dinner followed an article in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger to the ef?
fect that booze flowed freely at this
event. Witnesses before the grand
jury denied the charges.
Jerome Siegel, a wealthy retired
business man, of 157 West Fifty
seventh Street, was Che last witness.
He said he attended the dinner and
was one of many who arose when
Mayor Hylan entered the banquet hall,
ai!.! lie was one of many to propose
"Three cheers for His Honor, the
Mayor of the greatest city in the
world."
Siegel denied that he mounted a
table and toasted the Mayor with wine.
He said he saw no one drinking
liquor, nor did he see any one seeking
it.
Prohibition enforcement ager.ta
made several arrests and seizures early
yesterday morning. The largest cor
' scation of liquor took place in a raid
on a cafe in Amsterdam Avenue. The
agents seized eighty gallons of port
wine, fifteen quarts of whisky, two
quarts of gin and one quart of brandy.
The proprietor was arrested, charged
with the illegal possession of liquor.
Three men were arrested in front of
635 West 187th Street, charged with
Iran sport ing live cases of whisky in a
motor truck. The bartender and pro?
prietor of a saloon in West Street and
proprietor of a cafe in East Trem nt
Avenue, the Bronx, also were arresteil,
charged with possessing and selling
.' '? i iky.
Three persons were held in Sl.onn
bail each on charges of violating the
Volstead act by Federal Commissioner
McGoldrick in Brooklyn yesterday.
They are: Alexander Hennigan, vi
1012 Coney Island Avenue. Brooklyn,
charged with possessing liquor; Vic?
tor Yasyniszyn, 207 Tompkins Avenue,
Stapleton, Staten Island, charged with
selling liquor, and Joseph Richman, 175
Central Avenue, Brooklyn, charged!
with transporting liquor.
I Shot, $40,000 Liquor
Seizure in Pittsburgh
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 19.-- One man
shot, $40.000 worth of liquor confis?
cated and Prohibition Agent J. W.
Connor transferred to Philadelphia?
this is the result of twelve hours of a |
big secret drive to wipe out boot- I
?egging.
The first move by the government
to break up Pittsburgh's booze ring
came when, yielding to a demand of
temperance organizations in the
county. Federal Prohibition Commis- ?
sioner Kramer ordered Connor's re
nioval from this district.
Connor was transferred to the j
Philadelphia office, where he will be |
assistant group head to chief group
head of the Eastern division, John ;
W. Trolley.
Joseph Coldherg, of 54 East Fall?n
Street. Columbus, was fatally shot,
earl ythis morning when his automo?
bile, in which police allege whisky was ,
being transported, was held up in Dar- |
lington Road, near Beaver Falls. He
is dying in a hospital. David Aron
vitz, of Cleveland, companion of Gold?
berg, is tinder arrest, and police are
seeking three men in an automobile
said to be the bandits.
La,te yesterday a squad of prohibit ?
tion agents from the Philadelphia of- j
fice slipped into town, watched two big ?
trucks load up with whisky, then, early;
this morning, when the trucks started
out Penn Avenue they were intercept?
ed. A revolver battle followed and \
some of the runners escaped. Four
were arrested, however, and the two |
trucks of whisky were confiscated. The
liquor is valued at ?40.000.
Sttrer Breaks Again
Silver of foreign origin broke 3 cents
an ounce to 76'i in the New York mar
yet yesterday following a sharp de?
cline' in London. The price is now the
lowest since the current movement be?
gan. Nor are bullion dealers hopeful
of the future outlook for the metal. It
was pointed out yesterday that busi?
ness has slumped in all of the great
silver countries of the world. This
is especially true of China and India.
In the case of India silver is being
sold for the profit to be made in ex?
change. The supply of foreign-pro?
duced silver in the American market is
not large and such offerings as are
made from day to day are being readily
absorbed. Some large shipments have
hem made to Japan recently, including
one of approximately '2,000,000 ounces
sent to Kobe last week for the account
of the Yokohama Specie Bank. The
quotation for American-produced sil?
ver holds steady at a shade under $1
an ounce as a result of the regular
purchases being made by the Treasury
in accordance with the provisions of
the Pittman act. Bankers with Far
Eastern connection said yesterday they
would not be surprised to see the Pitt
man act repealed. "Buying silver at $1
an ounce." said one banker, "is throw?
ing money down the drain, and that ?3
just what the Treasury is doing to?
day." '
