BALTIMORE TO GET
MORE DRY AGENTS
Large Force Will Be Transferred
to Check voIstead Violations,
Kramer Announces.

BALTIMORE, Aug. Federal Pro-
hibition Commissioner Kramer an
nounced in Washington yesterday
that a large force OF Federal agents
would be transferred to Baltimore TO
hold in check violations OF the Vol
stead act. The announcement tol-
lowe consideration OF Attorney-Gen-
eral Armstrong; opinion that mem
bers of the Baltimore police depar-
ment do not possess power to make
arrests under the Volstead act.
Washington dispatches further SAID
that Commissioner williams, OF the
Internal Revenue Bureau: the legal
department of the bureau, and Mr..
Kramer are to confer over the ulti-
mate policy OF the Federal Govern
ment- .-'a' ..r''..-r .
They understand that Mr.. Arm
strong's decision will stand unless II
Is set aside by the State courts, but
they declined to say whether they
expect to attempt that in order to
regain the assistance of the police.
There are Indications that the
opinion Of the Maryland attorney gen.
eral will take on far more than local
Significance and that the policy or
the Federal Government may not be
determined until there has been fuii
consultation between the Internal
Revenue Bureau and officials OF the
Department of Justice.
1t 10 possible that the task OF the
Federal agents here will not be as
heavy as was expected when the at
torney generals ruling was received,
for Police Commissioner Gather yes
terday issued general order. In
which, while members Of the force
were forbidden to serve warrants for
violations of the Volstead act, they
were ordered to arrest violators
when the offense is committed in their
presence. The police also were or
dered to pass on to the Federal au-
thortties any information they re-
ceive.
Governor Ritchie said that he con-
templated no action at this time.

some, while others have fur collars.
Full Innings of plain or fancy silks would
hardly be expected in coats at the above

We would advise seeing these splendid

GLENDALE WILL
 SOLVE HOUSING
 PROBLEM SOON

GLENDALE, March 26-F'or the first time in many months Glendale begins to see where, if given no set backs, she may possibly catch up with the demand for buildings ty fall Be cause of the public spiritedness of a large number of her land owning resi- dents, houses for rent purposes were rushed up all through the winter months, with the result that Glen dale. while having no idle rent houses, is probably in better shape today to care for newcomers than at any time since the armistice was declared.
 Glendale, like all other Salt River valley towns. found herself. last year, unable to house all the newcomers who arrived attracted by the ideal soil, water and climatic conditions which prevail in this section. Recog- mixing the unfairness of extending in vitations to new settlers unless pre- pare1 to house them, a committee from the Glendale District CommerA cial club last fall waited upon those residents known to have vacant lots and finances with which to erect houses. and secured pledges for the inn number of 21- These, with the many erected by others for homes. relieved somewhat the congestion, and as the building program has gone forward with unabated energy, Glendale is now in a position to offer new arrivals some 
 house in which to live.
 Rooms for rent continue to be scarce. and a pressing need of this most rapidly growing town in the southwest is modern hotel. The one hotel here is always full. and the only two lodging houses having fur nished rooms for rent seldom have a vacant room. Certain profits await the hotel man who will erect modern hoste1ry here.
 The rapidity with which Glendale has surged ahead the past six months is made apparent by the records of the census bureau, which show Glen dale had a total population of 2740 in February. As liberal estimate of the population. made November 1 of last year, placed the number at 24o0. 1 January 1, and to 2740, according to the government, by February 1, the rate of growth is apparent. In 1918 ihe population was but 1400, indicating l an increase of almost 100 per cent in a year. As the rate of growth at present is even higher than prevailed | last year. it is prophesied that Glen | dale will reach 5000 within the next | two years

COTTON CROP IF CO. |S MORE THAN ALL GOLD IF 1920
Value of Maricopa's Long Staple Over $5,OO0,OO0 Above Total Gold Produc- ton in the U. s. for Pres ent Year

The value of the cotton crop in county alone for 1920 will ex- Geed the total gold production of the United States for the same year by more than s5,OOO, 900, according to es- inmates made by the Phoenix chamber or commerce. The cotton crop of this county is estimated at s55, ,000.0 900, not counting the seed, and on a basis of >l-lo a pound for lint. The gold pro- auction for 1920, as estimated in Bos- ton financial circles. is $50 1000 900 for the entire United States.
 The great advancement of the cot ton industry in Arizona" says the chamber of commerce report. -is here illustrated only to promote the well fare of gold and all mineral products, especially as applied to Arizona. The gold production in the United States dropped from s100, 900 to $5S,0O0, 900 m l9l9- Arizona produced only S4,176.- 9o0 in gold last year and only S4.S16. .033 Tn silver. The value of Arizona cop per for the year was cut almost in yer sold above par, but was worth as a dollar about 40 cents in trade.
 No gold for money has been mined Tor the past five years. An ounce. or Szu, Is worth as a purchasing power about s9 in the United States. The miners are using their gold noy for the trade. They ask for an open mar ket for gold similar to that of other metals, holding that gold today in an open market would bring at least s30 an ounce. Some advocate S30 as an American gold standard.
 Copper Suffered Most
 The mining interests advance sew eral theories as how to restore mining to normal conditions, all admitting that the war disorganized the industry. Copper has suffered most. Cotton has prospered most Both are Arizona's chief products.
 Mining and agriculture speaking in general terms, must go hand in hand in Arizona. War surplus, war short age have alike come home to Arizona There is room in the world today for a normal production of Copper but the avenues of trade are not open. Gold and silver, of course, depend upon normal commercial conditions in every line. The mining people of Arizona have held a firm hand on the situation, yielding nothing. asking nothing, but sure in their minds that a turn for the better must come. When it does come those who prospered in cotton and all agricultural pursuits will be the first to hasten their congratu- lations as friends and Arizonans."
