tion law will be prosecuted by Charles

charge of the office here.

not hold public office have been placed In

F. M. HUGO FIGURES
IN COLLECTORSHIP
Secretary of State Said to
Have Made Deal After Fight
for Governor.
OTHER PLUMS IN SIGHT
Postmasters of New York and
Brooklyn Not Secure Against
Removal.

Gossip In regard to the choicest plum
IN the Federal patronage basket-the
Collectorship of the Port of New York.
which pays $4,000 year-brought in
yesterday the name of Francis NJ. Hugo
of WATERFOWL, now Secretary of State.
II was reported that Mr.. Hugo had been
led to believe he would be recommended
for appointment to this office If he
should remain regular and not continue
ms an Independent candidate for the
nomination for Governor. No confirma-
tion of the report could be had last night.
Those to whom II was mentioned We're
inclined to doubt it.
The colectorship here is probably one
of the most important offices in the
power of the Presid ent of the United
States. Since the beginning of the term
OF Byron r. Newton. the present in
cumbent, the work of the office has in
creased considerably. The average daily
collections up to the present time this
year have been S654.000. There have
been days when they have hit the
million dollar mark.
The cost of collection, which in June
1919 was 3.s7 per cent and in June.
1918, was 1852 per cent, fell as low as
ZOE per cent. in June of this year.
1t was learned yesterday that. al
though the Presidential appointments
are made for a term of four years, or
most of them, the commissions read cor
until your successor shall be duly named
and qualified" Thus it is possible for
President to fill any of these offices
at any time he may choose.
Also. it was pointed out. the protec-
ton given to Postmasters Thomas c.
Patton of Manhattan and Walter c.
Burton of Brooklyn. along with other
postmasters of the first class, may be
taken away at any time. They were
placed in the civil service by executive
order and may be taken out In the same
way, if 1t should be deemed necessary.
In addition to the collector of the Port
of New York there are three other Col
Tectors OF Customs in this State which
will be sought by the Republican organ
ization. George G. Davidson holds the
place at Buffalo at $4,000 a year. His
term would expire July Is. 1922. John
Palace is Collector of Customs of the
Port of Rochester at $4,000 year. His
term expires on January II, 1924. Henry
Holland is Collector of Customs at Og-
densburg at $4,000 a year.
Some more choice morsels of patron
age were found yesterday by persons in
terested. They were eight assistant APP
praiserships at $4,000 a year. now held
by Martin +. Tanahey, George w.
Wolf. Charles Z. Victory. Nathaniel G..
Schlamm. Thomas G. Burns. Christopher
G. Keenan, Charles w. Bum and Frank
9. Terry.
The post of Internal Revenue Collector
at Syracuse paying $500 a year is
vacant. Neal Brewster having resigned

FIGHT TO LIMIT
SIZE OF CONGRESS
Reapportionment of Seats Di-
vides House Into Three
Distinct Factions.
ALREADY TOO UNWIELDY
Plan Most Approved Would
Increase Membership by
Forty-five.
Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Nov. y.
Reapportionment of the seats in Con-
gress among the several States under
the census recently completed IS going
to bring on a three cornered battle in
the House. probably as soon as it con-
venes in December.
An element of the House wiz seek to
increase the already unwieldy number of
Representatives, another element will
GEEK to reduce the membership to
number which will mean expedition Of
Legislative business, and third group
will seek to hold the House at il present
size.
1t Is almost foregone conclusion that
the number of members of the House
under the recent census will be made
even greater. Now there are 435 MEM
pers and II is proposed that this number
be increased by at least forty-flve AL
though they realize they are making a
losing fight, a great many members of
the House propose to put themselves on
record as opposing any increase and
others as demanding a reduction in the
present bulky membership
Also there is lot Of talk about de-
manding an enforcement of the Constitu-
tional amendments which were designed
II prevent States from counting, in the
apportionment of Representatives in
Congress, those persons of legal age who
are disfranchised. This. of course. is
aimed at the South. and IL successful

The whole effect OF this is going to
be to stir up a lot of bitter debate with
little chance of anything more than re-
ordinations and bad feeling growing
out of IT, 1t is generally accepted that
the outcome of the whole fight VIII be
to follow the plan already outlined by
Representative Seigel (New York;.
chairman of the House Census Com
mittee, and base Congressional districts
on 22O,O 900 to a district 1t is provided
legally that If in dividing a State into
districts there is left over a major frac-
tion of the number of persons OF which
each district is to be composed another
Representative shall be provided for.
Under the Seigel plan Maine. now
having four members of the House,
would be reduced to three, and Missouri
also would lose one Congressman, re-
ducing its representation in the House
to Is.
The States which would make gains
are: Alabama. / /: Arizona. Arkan-

Ohio, 4; Oklahoma, Il: Oregon, 1 :;
Pennsylvania. 4: South Carolina, / !;

The total gain under the plan most
likely to be adopted is AZ, but Offset by
the Maine and Missouri losses the net
gain would be As. placing the total men,
bership of the House in the future at
4S0
The total electoral vote of the eleven
Cox States. under the Seigel plan, would
be 1876. The States which Senator Har-
ding carried would have an electoral
vote in the future totalling 440 instead
of 404, as in the election just past.

FULL POWER TO
ARREST VIOLAT0RS
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL PASSES
ON THE LAW
Police of Amy City or Town Have
Full Power To Make Arrests for
Violation of VOlstead Law-Mary-
land Official Wrong in Decision
However, Prosecutions Are To Be
Conducted in the Federal Courts.

Washington, August Police Of
ficers have full authority to make ar
rests for violation of the Volstead
prohibition law, Solicitor General
Frierson, Of the Department of JUS
tice. stated today in commenting upon
the opinion handed down by Attorney
General Armstrong, of Maryland, to
the effect that city police do not have
the power to make arrests under the
Volstead law
"The police of any city or town
have full power to make arrests for
violation of the Volstead law" Solici-
tor General Frierson said.
They are constantly doing it. If
Attorney General Armstrong; opinion
is as reported, he is in error.
while city police may make ar
rests, the prosecution for violation of
the Volstead law must be conducted in
Federal courts" Solicitor General
Frierson stated. He pointed out that
the confusion over the law in Mary
land may have arisen from this fact.
Prohibition official today indicated
that Armstrong had laid the founda-
ton for bitter controversy and pos
sibly hard-fought litigation that will
attract attention far beyond the
boundaries of Maryland.
While this was developing, Police
Commissioner Gather, of Baltimore,
announced that members of his de-
partment will make no arrests for
violation Of the Volstead act, and
added the surprising news that his
department has 300 complaints of
violations upon which it has not
acted pending Armstrong; ruling,
and which will now be handed to the
Federal agents. Gen. Gather ex-
planned that withdrawal Of the police
from active enforcement of the Vol
stead act will not prevent them CO.
operating with the Federal agents in
giving the latter information.
The first sign of the fight that
may follow Armstrong; ruling came
from prohibition enforcement head
quarters in Washington, where it
was stated that no other State in the
Union had taken such a position as
that outlined by the Maryland at
torney general.
An inference was drawn that
chances were strong that ways and
means would be found to have the
Maryland court of appeals pass on
