PARIS, Dec., 28, (/P)—'Thousands:
of American residents of France;
are faced with heavy fines and pos-!
sibly expulsion from the country1
owing to a police drive to round up |
all foreigners employed here who
have failed to obtain permits.
The drive aims at elimination of
all foreigners who, by their pres
ence here, are helping to cause un
employment. Several high Amer
ican consular and diplomatic offi
cials were among those receiving
notification that they must present
themselves at police stations and
show their identity papers.
While Americans are not particu
larly aimed at, it is believed they
will be the hardest hit because of
their inability to follow strict po
lice regulations.

I SOLVE CAUSE OF SS
Origin of the spectacular fire
j during the early morning hours of
November 28, which reduced the
cabins and upperworks of the pas
senger liner Alameda to charred
ruins and endangered the lives of
crew members, was listed in govern
ment records by Federal officers as
an unsolved mystery.
Capt. Donald S. Ames and Thom
as Short, United States steamboat
inspectors, who have been investi
gating the fire for the last two
weeks, announced their decision as
follows:
“We were unable to ascertain the
cause of the fire aboard the pas
senger liner Alameda of the Alaska
< Steamship Company moored at
Pier 2, Seattle. We are led to be
lieve from the evidence that ev
erything possible was done to ex
tinguish the fire. There are no
grounds for making charges against
any of the licensed officers of the
vessel.’
Immediately after the announce
ment of the decision of the gov
ernment officers, the Alaska Steam
ship Company, on request of the
underwriters who insured the Aia
| meda, issued a call for bids to re
construct the vessel to the Pacific
Coast shipyards. The bids will be
opened the latter part of thi3 week
in Seattle. If they are within the
insured value of $500,000, the Ala
meda will be rebuilt, refurnished
and delivered back to her owners,
the Alaska Steamship Company. If
! he bids are higher than the insured
value, the underwriters will pay
a total loss claim to the owners,
take over the Alameda and sell her
for scrapping or other purposes.
The steamboat inspectors inves
tigated the fire from every angle,
calling numerous witnesses includ
ing officers of the vessel and mem
bers of the crew. The inspectors
also made a thorough survey of
the fireswept ship. They not only
attempted to determine the cause
of the fire, but also the effective
ness of flre-fightlng equipment.
Surveyors for the underwriters
were convinced the fire was not a
result of a short circuit, for the
vessel was rewired shortly before
the fire.
I POSSIBLE PRESIM.
ST. LOUIS, Dec., 28, (/P)—Dwight
F. Davis, governor-general of the
Philippine Islands, arrived in St.
Louis yesterday and said that what
he wanted was “rest and more time |
with his family.”
Davis, who was recently reported
as about to resign from his Philip
pine post, said that he had been a
public official for more than 25
years and that he desired a change.
Davis has been suggested as a pos~ i
sible candidate for President.
