NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (CTS)v-Th- ere have been many and varied situations arising from prohibition and' its administration, but the present curious dilemma of Mrs. Evelyn L Martin, claimant to a part of the (3,000,000 fortune of the late Stephen B. Elklns and declarant that she was his fiancee, certainly appears to be especially Interesting. For, although she learned today that she was quite welcome to a cache of about $75,000 worth of the choicest liquor to be found anywhere In New York, she can't have a single bottle of It. Several days ago Mrs. Martin, through Max D. Bteur, her counsel, started a court fight to get approximately $1,000,000, she claim Elxins left her under the terms of his will. Among, other things, she continued, she was bequeathed his entire stock of alcoholic refreshment, said to be about 3000 bottles. Charges Removal Of Llflaor Cache. JShe charged that' former United States Senator Davis Elklna, brother of Elklns and executor of his estate, had moved the entire cache from his brother's apartment to his own apartment. Today a surprise wa sprung by Philip E. Donlin, attorney for Davis Elkins. . "The Elklns family has no objection whatsoever to Mrs. Martin hav ing the liquor," he said. "She's mora than welcome to it It's just a question of her ability to get away with It, and that I doubt, seriously. "To begin with, ail of It is stored In closets which are under state seal pendln final disoosa of the estate. This means that, for th time being, at least, it la immune to federal seizure, because not even search war' rants can be used under such clr cumstances. Most Take Chance With Government. "Certainly Mrs. Martin cannot re. move It now. until the case is settled. and if she attempts to later she will have to take her chance with the government In the little natter of uijuur uwisporxauon. "Meanwhile, the Elklns family does not want it, and disclaim all' desire to nave it forced on them, inasmuch a "prewar ownership' cannot be proved. Another pertinent fact 1 mac nothing contraband can be wuiea legally to anybody. "So far as I can see. It's nobody's liquor. Probably if a thief were to break fn and seize ft, he would have as good a title a anyone. As to Mrs. Martin's claim, the doors are wide open to her. It's merely a case oi iry ana get it."

President Hoover will be almost as close to the London naval conference. which begins next month, as he is to tne state department just across me street from the White House. This close communication win be telephone and through by a speedy cable service through the long-distan- slate department. The president is expected to use the telephone occasionally, but on very confidential matters he will em- ploy code cablegrams. He is expected to use the telephone to congratulate American delegates for their work when the conference is over. The speedy communication will be due to the efforts of David A. Salmon, chief of the state department division of indexes and archives, who Is a communications expert. He handled communications for the American delegation at the 1927 Geneva conference. Salmon expects to handle about 100.000 code words from' London to Washington and about 45,000 in the other direction during the conference discussions. He is taking with him to London a staff of clerks and code experts who will divide 24 hours a day between themselves seven days a week. By use of code the government not only keeps Its communications secure, but saves about 65 per cent of the cost of an ordinary message. Based ort this estimate of wordage, the American bill for the conference will be about $17,000. Short messages, it is estimated, will take less than 10 minutes to cross the Atlantic and reach the state department, where they' will be decoded and sent to the White House.

The Spanish argosies of old, their holds filled with gold from the Bpanish main, are far surpassed by the treasure ship of art that Italy recently sent from Genoa to England. steamThe cargo of the 7,000-to- n er Leonardo da Vinci consisted of 350 masterpieces of Italian art, with a nominal value of $70,000,000. Their market value, if they were permitted to be sold, would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Just as the Spanish argosies passed through many perils before reaching port, so the Leonardo da Vinci passed through the peril of a terrific Atlantic storm on her way to England early In December. The treasure of the ship was gathered from all the major museums and galleries in Italy and was destined for an exhibition of Italian art In Burlington house, London, opening January 1. It will provide the backbone for the third great foreign exhibition In London, the first being of Flemish masterpieces and the second of Dutch. Premier Mussolini approved the temporary transfer of these priceless paintings to London, and enthusiastically assisted In sending them off. They were gathered In Milan before being sent on to Genoa for shipment and the galleries that contributed sent selections from their best. The Albertinl collection lent Ti tian' "Virgin and the Child Cor-- i reggio' "Marriage of 8aint Catherine." and Glorgione's "The Tempest Milan contributed Tintoretto's "Venetian Judge," Botticelli's "Virgin and Child," CorreRglo's "Holy Family," and a portrait by Antonello da Messina.
