SLEUTH CORPS PLACED UNDER
 BUREAU CHIEF
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, May 25.-(Special Correspondence). Reorganization plans of the Harding administration include a consolidation of all the various "secret services" of the gov ernment.
 Nearly all the departments have their own secret service and each de- partment is jealous of the activities of the secret service of all the other departments. This is particularly so when the secret service of one de- partment attempts to encroach on the service of any other department. But the worst fault is in having so many little bureaus of secret serv- ice, when the federal administration should have only one big and efficient office of this kind, serving all depart ments with inlpartiality. Such a cen tral bureau devoted to secret service and investigation work would not only be more efficient but it would be vastly cheaper to manage.
 The plans call for consolidation and coordination of the activities of all the various secret service and in vestigation bureaus of the depart ments into one big bureau devoted to this work. It is planning to bring all these big bureaus under one chief
 Attorney General Harry Daugherty will supervise and direct the consol- idatiOn of the numerous secret serv- ice bureaus. He has announced that he will soon start the reorganization plans, which will have to be acted upon by congress. Special legisla- ton, probably tackled on to some ap- propriation bill, will be the medium which finally effects the consolidation of the little bureaus, and the crea- tion of one big agency of the govern ment devoted to the secret service Already men are being considered as chief of the proposed consolidated bureau. William J. Flynn, former head of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, is one of those under consideration for this re- sponsible position. A Bruce Bielaski. another former chief of the depart ment of justice secret service, also is under consideration. Bielaski made a particularly great record as the investigation chief in the department of Justice. He is now engaged in
 business in New York City It is said the department of justice is anxious to secure the services of Bielaski
 again. He was chief of the bureau
 during the World war, and on his
 shoulders mainly fell the whole es-
 pionage system and secret service
 operations of the United States dur
 ing that trying period. Bielaski is

considered in Washington to have been the best chief the bureau of in- vestigation ever had. It is doubtful, however, if he can be induced to give up his business in New York to again enter government employ The salary offered will be too small When Bielaski was chief the salary was only $4,000 annually The new chief of the consolidate bureau probably will get $10,OOO.
 The department of justice itself has two Investigating services" which are really secret services. The alien property custodian has a secret serv- i've of his own. The customs ,serv- i've has an intelligence service" which is of course really another secret service. Even the bureau of immigration of the department of labor has it's sleuths distributed at the big ports which send us most of our foreigners who want to become American citizens. The postoffice de- partment has large corps of "in- spectors," who are really secret serv- ice operatives. The bureau of for eign and domestic commerce has force of trade detectives" The state department has it's own corps of secret service operatives, and this corps is said to be the best in the whole government service.
 It is generally believed that the operatives of the bureau of investiga- tion of the department of justice and the secret service of the depart ment of state have the best organ ized and most efficient bureaus of this kind in the federal establishment
 The treasury too, has it's own corps of sleuths. They are mainly devoted to capturing counterfeiters.
 Even the White House has it's se- cret corps. A dozen or more picked men are on duty there day and night and the president never goes any where without few of them being close in attendance to guard MT. Harding from cranks, and from per sons who might have more sinister intentions.
 The army, during the war, had secret service called the intelligence bureau" which reached very high grade of efficiency and was one of the principal factors in the work of the war department in winning the war
 The navy, too, had its own "intelli- gence service," and this was even more highly developed and efficient than the corresponding service in the army, it is said.

Abraham Lincoln is said to have died,

Blackwells Island. He was formerly
a lawyer of standing in the city and
an amateur naturalist, being a friend
of John Burroughs. A breakdown of
his health about ten years ago caused
him to lose his grip, and in 1915 he
became an inmate of the city home.
Proctor. when II years old, was
clerk in the War Department and
had room in the lodging house op-
posite Ford's Theater. where Lincoln

SUMMARY Of WORK
IN RED CROSS AID
Time and Labor Donated the
Past Year Valued at
$4,000.

Contributions in time and labor
amounting to at least $4,000 have
been given during the past year by
volunteer workers Of the District
Chapter of the American Red Cross.
This statement Is made In a summary
of the years activities just issued by
chapter officials as q preliminary to
the approaching fifth annual roll call
Of the society, set for November II,
Armistice day.
The 1900 volunteers have given
some $4,000 hours of labor. At an
estimated value Of SO cents an hour
this would amount to $4,000. Off,
cials emphasize the fact that moneys
turned in as for new or renewed
memberships do not go for salaries,
as not only the workers, but all ex-
ecutives are volunteers. Such money
will enable the chapter to continue
in full the work prosecuted during
the year now drawing to a close.
Accomplishments, set forth In a
general peace-time report" running
from October. 1920, to October. 1921,
are varied and valuable. The supply
corps furnished S3.452 surgical dress
ings to local hospitals, 1000 gar
ments for both at home and abroad
in eleven months. and in nine months
comfort to men in hospitals. Relatives
of overseas men buried at Arlington
We're served with 66S luncheons.
Work of Nutrition Center.
The nutrition center served 368 gal
Ions of soup and PAT GALLONS of cocoa
in the public schools. and eleven gal
Ions Of soup to sick persons in the
District. In twelve months the chap
ter's canteen department served
$4,000 different men from military
hospitals. The clerical corps turned
out 5.G59 pages of Braille work for
the benefit of the blind.
The home service department,
whose work is found to be steadily
increasing, handled the cases Of 1894
disabled men. The Junior Red Cross
furnished 555 knitted articles, 1880
garments, 1000 jellies and 1884 mis-
cellaneous articles. The teaching
center had 400 graduates in its home
hygiene course, 275 in its first aid.

UPH0LDS TONNAGE PRICE,

The Shipping Board has denied the
appeal of the Green Star Line of
New York for a revision of the ton
mage price paid for nine ships pur-
chased from the board a number of
months ago, as well as a request for
an advance of $4,000 or $4,000 for
its immediate needs. it was announced
yesterday at the board.
In seeking revision of the original
purchase price of the nine ships the
steamship company said it desired in
this manner to be relieved of a por-
tion of it's indebtedness to the boa rd.
amounting now to about $13.09o.O00
The board explained it has no legal
right to reduce the price of tonnage
without enabling legislation, and said
further that its policy on the whole
question of tonnage revision had not
been determined
