FRUIT SHIP FIRED ON
U.S. COASTGUARDS AGAIN NORWAY VOICES PROTEST (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) WASHINGTON, Sunday. The President, Mr. Herbert Hoover, is expected to investigate activities of the coastguard and its methods of enforcing prohibition this week. Norwegian Legation waits an official report regarding shots alleged to have been fired by coastguard agents upon a Norwegian fruit vessel, the Juan, in Chesapeake Bay on Frida? before they boarded the ship. The officials discovered nothing but a cargo of bananas. The Norwegian Consul at Baltimore, Maryland, has forwarded a Note to Washington alleging that the coastguard made an unnecessary attack on a peaceful vessel. The ship’s pilot says a coastguard cutter fired six times, barely missing the Juan, and that the cutter made no attempt to use wireless, with which both ships were equipped. The Juan is a steel screw-steamer of 1.492 tons. She was built in 1908 at Oslo, and is owned by Akties Yestlieim. Her port of registry is Oslo.
