 CLASS APPEARS
 AMONG YOUNG
Bold and Daring But Lack Ingenuity of the Old
 Time Criminal.

PITTBURGH, May 19.-A new and distinct type of criminal is supplant ing the old class of outlaws, detec tives and criminologists repres3n $50 agencies, were told here recently when plans were perfected to form the International Secret Service As sociation.
 This new class, while far more bold and daring, lacks the ingenuity of the old-tine criminal, it is said. Where criminals in the past ,Idulged in counterfeiting, forgery and swin ding games that required patience to execute, the newer and younge er generation, ranging in age from l7 to 24 specialize in bank and mail rob- berries, train holdups, payroll thefts and other daring crimes, speakers declared.
 With the object in view of coniba ting these criminals, the association tentatively formed at Chicago last March. was organized formally here The organization includes nearly every detective agency of importance in the United States and will main tain offices in foreign countries.

W|!H|SkE,y Y! SEEMS EVERYWHERE BUT
 NONE TO DRINK
Blue Coated Officers of New York City Have New
 Duties Assigned Them.

NEW YORK, May l9.--Whiskey' whiskey everywhere, but not drop to drink paints a paraphrase DIG ture of every police station in Ne" York City.
 It has been thus since the re- cent day when the Police Depart ment set out to help the Federai Government make the wet spots Tn the metre .1lis evaporate. Each oi the 900 bluecoats is prohlDl- tion officer instructed to gather evidence against Volstead Act vio- lators.
 They go forth daily to gather it in bottles, in fiasks, in cases, Iii kegs and even in barrels. But there is no warehouse in which 10 store the liquor until the day when 1t Is brought into court. So the neu- tenant at each police station IS guardian over the stock accumulat- ing in his precinct. .,-a Bottles Everywhere. Many of the stations were LOOK ing like. ill-kept saloons a few days after the police began hopping up [ the spots where spirits were split. Bottles were hid in desk drawers. behind radiators and under cover of blankets in unused corners. Each day the lieutenant checked up the stock on his arrival and again on departure from duty. Soon the city hopes to arrange for a storehouse.
 The city chemist was even harder hit than the police by the new duties imposed by Legislators at All bany. Into his test tubes sample of every bottle, every case and ev- cry keg must go for inspection. Ii he finds in the specimens the stuff that pink elephants are made of, it is labeled evidence and awaits court action. Moreover, the chem ist must go to court with the liquo. and give his official testimony as to its potentcy.
 Deluged with Work.
 The kind of activity required most of his business hours even months ago when he had to analyze only narcotics and other suspected poisons seized by city employees But as soon as the state prohibition lew became effective, this official was deluged with new jobs.
 During the first weeks drive against bootleggerss his office be- came one of the busiest places in the city. Detectives and uniformed police followed one another through the door with samples of the seiz- nres. Bottles piled up everywhere. The employee who labels and num- bers all containers brought into the office telephoned his wife that he would not be home for dinner A statistician estimated that he could not finish the job before him until 1880, unless given more assist
 ance. The chemist then called ,uI his family and told them not to look for his appearance at home

Answer from Holland on
 U. s. Oil Note Due Soon

THE HAGUE. May 1a.--Holland soon will send to Washington its answer to the American note protest, ing against the granting of mo nopoly of oil resources in the Dutch East Indies to British companies.
 The standpoint of Holland in the Djambi oil fields question. as af. tected by the passage by the second chamber of parliament of bill un. der which the bid of the Standard Oil Company for concession in the Sumatra oil region is barred was explained today at the Dutch foreign office The main thing empha- sized was the lack of interest on the American side at time when competition was free and when the Royal Dutca Company had made a far more advantageous offer than any other company.
 It was emphasized that there were still many valuable oil fields fin the East Indies and that the Dutch gov ernment would welcome American capital if it were interested in ex ploitation.
