PLANES leave
TO MEET NC-4
Two H-16 Type Flying Boats
From Pensacola Station viii
Make Flight to Galveston

Orders are expected at the naval air
station today directing two H-16A type
flying boats to proceed to New Orleans
to join the NC-4 with Lieut.. Com
mander Albert c. Read and from
there to fly to Galveston. Orders have
already been received directing the
planes to be ready, and every arrange
ment has been made so that the boats
can leave on short notice.
According to the arrangement the
NC-4 and the destroyer Isabel at New
Orleans and from there proceed to
Galveston, and possibly other west
gulf coast ports, on a recruiting tour.
The first return stop will be made at
Mobile from which port the air and
sea squa dron will proceed to Pensa-
cola.
Plans announced by the Navy re-
cruiting service some months ago call
for an extended stay of the NC-4 at
Pensa cola. Commander Read has the
same crew, with few exceptions,
which accompanied him on his world
record making flight across the At
lantic. The NC-4 has visited cities up
the Mississippi, travelling on schedule
time, and the present flight along the
gulf coast is the wind-up of tour
which started at Portland, Maine.

WOULD RETAIN
WARTIME RULE
Commissioner of immigration
Urges that Passport Regu-
lations Be Kept Up.

Washington, Dec. liberation of
retary of Labor with Jurisdiction over
all immigration matters, deportation
of alien draft slackers and strengthen
ing of the border patrol service against
undesirables, are among the recon-
i mendations made by Commissioner
General Caminetti Of the immigration
bureau in his annual report.
Suggestions that immigration be
suspended completely were opposed by
the commissioner on the ground that
it would have an Injurious effect up
on our efforts to further American
commerce and enterprise in foreign
countries" Continuance of war time
passport wise regulations and assign
ment of immigration bureau represen-
tatives at consular offices to aid in ex-
cluding undesirables was urged in
stead.
Only two aliens were excluded from
the United States during the fiscal
year on anarchistic grounds, while 81
aliens in the same class were expelled
from the country and 55 are now
awaiting deportation. To reach
American citizens who engage in SIM
liar propaganda, the report urges that
| the acts prohibited by the anarchistic
provisions of the immigration laws"
be made criminal offenses.
Deportation is mot punishment for
crime" but merely allows the alien an
archist to change his field of activity,
the report said and added that it was
To he fy,af LOT Of fa
archist will not so continue, but that
by the common consent of civilized
nations something more may be done
to provide for his adequate punish
ment as an International outlaw
An additional Assistant Secretary of
Labor, together with a larger legal and
administrative staff, is recommended
on the ground that it would obivate
delays now encountered within the de-
partment. The arrest during the year
of many inadmissible Japanese and
Chinese, as well as several alien enc
mics. who had been smuggled into the
the country, prompted the proposal to
strengthen border patrol forces.
1.-The bureau now has a small force
doing effective work along that line
on the borders of Canada and Mexico
and on our coasts, but this needs to be
materially increased" the report said.
This class of work needs experienced
officers who will devote their entire
time and all Of their energies to the
task"
A proposed new Immigration law,
submitted by Mr.. Caminetti, would put
the burden of proof of admissibility
upon persons seeking to enter the
United States, and provide for regis
tration of all aliens and a probational
status for those whose admissibility is
not clearly established The law would
add to the excluded class aliens who
practice, advocate. teach, sanction or
encourage the extortion of money or
property, aimed at members of black
hand societies.

IRISH HIDE ARMS
IN GRAVEYARDS

Dublin, Dec. 1.-THE hiding places
chosen for arms captured in raids in
Ireland are sometimes very unexpected.
It has been made a charge against the
police that in their searches they do
not spare even the grave yards. The
police say they are justified in this
because their searches in graveyards
have proved fruitful. In a graveyard
at kiibrush. County Glare, it is re-
ported that the police found IN crew
ice under a tombstone three rifles and
a shot gun, all in good condition.

URGE REVISION
FEDERAL LAWS
Has Been No Accurate Codifica-
tiOn Since 1877, Judge Tells
House Committee.
(ey GEORGE "A. MANNlNe.)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-The
compilation of complete revision and
codification of the federal laws has
been undertaken by the house of rep
resentatives committee on revision of
the laws.
Not since 1877 has a complete COM
pilation of the federal laws been made
by authority of congress. The compile
ton of this work will be of immense
value to the general public. lawyers
and judges. The desirability and
necessity for again ccdifying all the
federal laws and putting them in one
volume has been recognized for many
years by all the judges and lawyers.
Judge Charles H. Hough, of New
York, one of the most prominent law
yers in the country practicing before
the federal courts, stated at a hearing
before the house committee. that there
is no revision of the federal statutes
existing today upon which lawyers
can properly rely.
1.-The United States has published no
law book setting forth in convenient
form it's own acts of congress that is
worth while talking about since 1877
said Judge Hough. There We're two
books published, spoken of as supple
ments to the Revised Statutes, in the
early 90s. They were poor works.
They don't pretend to be revisions.
They are really nothing but abridge-
ments of the. statutes passed after
1877. They are now for financial rea-
sons almost impossible to obtain, and
when they are secured they aren t
worth having. The revision of 1877 is
a first-class law book.
That book is no longer available
to the general practitioners in the Unit
ted States continued Judge Hougi,.
You can't get it from Washington.
You can go in a secondhand book
store and inquire for one, and if you
find a copy you are lucky"
Judge Hough said the Statutes at
Large, published annually by the gov
ernment, are almost worthless. because
the method of indicing has been
changed with almost every admins
tration. 1t is the public which pays
in the end, he said, for the great labor
necessary to acquaint busy lawyers
and judges with the revised laws

SUGAR PRICES
ARE UNCUARDED
Failure of Congress to Pass Bill
Continuing Sugar Board
Presages Boost
(By George 3. Waters.)

what Will congress do with the
Sugar Equalization Board?
Congress can save the people $780,
100000 by continuing the board for
another year! But to do so, it must act
before Jan. /.
The railroad bill has the right of way
now, and it seems likely the sugar
board bill will not be passed But the
passage of this bill would save the
people next year alone enough to wipe
the entire deficit incurred by govern
ment operation of the railroads.
! The saving mentioned is computed
on the theory that sugar prices will
| advance an average of cents a pound
if the Sugar Equalization Board is not
kept in control of the supply. AT 10
cents a pound, the peoples sugar bill
in 1919 was $500, 600, 900. Every cent
on the pound that sugar advances
costs the people sSo,0o0.00o for the
year
Will the bill pass?
Senator McNary introduced it at the
recent special session and it was re-
ported favorably by the Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry. This bill
doesn't provide for a licensing system,
| but it extends the boards power till
Dec. 81, 1920, and authorizes it to pur-
chase our entire sugar supply, foreign
and domestic, and distribute it equally
throughout the United States. 1t
could fix the prices at which sugar
could be sold and then withhold sugar
| from dealers who refused to comply
with its wishes.
by all means, the bill should pass d
declared Senator Henry W. Keyes,
New Hampshire, member of the COM
mittee that investigated sugar. 1T
failed at the special session on account
of the treaty, and now the railroad bill
| is in the way. We are going to try to
bring it up"
! If it doesn't pass, the Sugar Equa-
liza tion Board will become extinct Jan
! /. and then the profiteers will get
| theirs. There is a shortage of 200.-
600, 900 tons of sugar in the world sup
ply. II the price should jump to &c
cents per pound retail. the people OF
the United States would pay sS0,Oo0.-
900 more for sugar in 1920 that in 1919
Attorney General Palmer has an

sugar on Jan. 1, and he blames con-
gress for not extending the board fol-
another year.
| The republicans blame President
Wilson, saying that as early as Aug
Ia the Sugar Equalization Board
! asked the presidents approval to buy
! up the crop when Cuba offered to sell
Sept. 90, the board again sent letter
TO the president, urging him to give
i his permission. Then for the third
! time it asked his advice, but the presi-
dent answered none of the communi
cations.
| Besides saving the people an esti-
mated se5o,000.o00 in 1919, the Sugar
Equalization Board made profit on
! the sugar it handled of s30,00o,00o
which will be turned over to the fed
eraI treasury. The board, incorporated
