Leviathan Six Years
A Prohibition Ship
Has Liquor for Sale
1 °RK' Apnl —The Leviathan queen of the American
.erenan marine and for six years a prohibition ship was en route to
Europe today with liquor for sale.
. ro!'atl!nflkmSuher maiden voyage under private American
-ownership as the flagship of the newly organized United States Lines.
-- —uquor stores
were available for beverage pur-
poses On the return'trip a less
limited supply than that contained
sal«th^y£lediCaI stores wU1 be for
Josej^y'e. Sheedy executive vice
presioent of the line said there
[would be no public bar in the ship
fbut liquors and wines would be
[Served to passengers in their cabins
and in the dining rooms and smok-
ing rooms. Drinks will be served
f*t meals.
: The same policy Sheedy said
[would be put into effect aboard the
other 10 ships which Paul W. Chap-
man recently purcahsed from the
United States shipping board and
which will make up the United
States lines’ fleet.
Sheedy sajd the company sought
no direct financial gain from the
of liquor but deemed it neces-
sary to offore it for sale to put the
American owned vessels on an equal
footing with foreign trans-atlantic
Miners.
Under the law ships are permitted
to carry one quart of liquor for each
five passengers and members of the
trew for medical purposes this
would give the Leviathan an allow-
ance of 700 quarts on this voyage
to Europe.
For the westward trip the offi-
cers were instructed to take aboard
i supply of liquor sufficient to last
-o the 12-mile limit. There all over
the medical allowance would be
thrown overboard.
The Leviathan and other shipping
Bboard vessels were made dry in 1923
bn the theory that liquor should not
be sold on government-owned ships.
All other American lines whose
vessels touch foreign ports except
the Dollar line sell liquor.

BOY KING TO
WED DUCHESS
Match With Italian Prin-
cess Off Because of Re-
ligious Obstacles
SOFIA. Bulgaria. April 11.—(JP)—
Youthful King Boris who seems
bent on marrying may have to take
a grand duchess for a bride instead
of a princess.
Religious obstacles today seemed
destined to prevent his proposed
wedding with Princess Giovanna of
Italy and talk arose of a possible
alliance with the Grand Duchess
Kira Vlariimirovitch 19-year-old
daughter of Grand Duke Cyril
recognized as head of the Romanoff
family by many Russian royalists.
Information in diplomatic circles
here was that both the Vatican and
the Bulgarian church declined to
yield sufficient ground to make the
alliance with Princes Giovanna pos-
sible.
It was said the pope among other
things refused the Italian princess
a dispensation to marry King Boris
unles offspring of the union were
reared in the Roman Catholic faith.
This would be inadmissible under
the Bulgarian constitution which
stipulates the heir to the throne
must be a member of the Bulgarian
orthodox church.
