600 PROHIBITION ARRESTS
 IN CONNECTICUT IN 19Se

Hartford, Feb. That Connecticut is in the heart of the wet belt" of the country and the prohibition enforcement agents have had their hands full in at- tempting to put into actual effect the stringent regulations of the Volstead act as it pertains particularly to this state is indicated by a review of the work of the enforcement bureau which clearly shows that "bootlegging" has been de- veloped into "big business" in tie year that the prohibition law has been in full swing.
 No less than zoe arrests were made in Connecticut in 1920 for violations of the prohibition law, and of these about 6G were discharged by the various commits sioners before the accused were brought up for hearings leaving the balance oi 559 to be presented in court.
 Though few jail sentences were mot ed out for second offenders during the year of enforcement, the great majority drew fines that varied from $l0 during the first term of court following the datt when enforcement went into effect, tC more than $400 which was the rule fol , the later violators, the fines averagin. about $50 and yielding to the govern nlent on that basis $B2,5oo. In addition
 to this, the enforcement agents seized ap I proxifnately 900 automobiles valued a i about s30o,0oo, and the amount ce ':quo taken in the raids had a vail. = O i more than s2,9eooo the valua. .yn be | ing on the basis of what is charged b, l the ''bootlegginS' agencies

BODY FROM FLANDERS FOR
 NEW ARLINGTON AMPHITHEATRE

Washington, Feb. 1.-The return from Flanders fields of the body of an uniden- tfied American soldier for interment in the new anphitheatre at Arlington Ma tional Cemetery was approved today by Secretary Baker, General Pershing and Major General John A. LeJeuhe, com mandant of the marine corps and one of the wartime commanders of the famous Second division of marines and regulars
 In letter read to- the house military Committee considering a resolution for this purpose, Secretary Baker said he could conceive of no more fitting inaugu- ration of the use of the amphitheatre than to place there the body of a sol. dier whose ns.ns and identity are lost but who will typify and represent the imperishable part of the sacrifice which he and his comrades made for their coun. try and their country's cause"
 Predicting that ultimately the Arling. ton amphitheatre would become the Westminster Abbey of America's heroiS dead" the war secretary said no place significant and symbolic interment, which would be "a national tribute tc one great aggregated valor of cur arm, and being disassociated from the nam, of any individual would become a com mon possession of all who contributed |, the victory"
 Appearing before the committee in per son, General Pershing approved the pro posal as fitting national tribute to thu
 other Americans who fell in the grea
 war He suggested that next Memorda Day be selected as the time for tn, burial at Arlington. He explained tna
 he favored interment at Arlington "a ther than in the rotunda of the capita

WOULD PLACE DUTIES
 ON IMPORTED NEEDLES
Special to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, Feb. 1.-Senatpr Moses of New Hampshire has introduced an amendment to the Fordney emergency tariff bill placing duties on imported nee dies at the following rate: knitting and sewing needles, q per thousand with an advaioren duty of 25 per cent added; on latch needles, S1.15 per thousand with ad valorem duty added of .35 per cent.
 The needle industry Is highly central ized in the New England states, Connec- ticut and New Hampshire furnishing the largest plants Owing to the high wage here and the low wage in foreign coun- tries manufacturers in New Hampshire appealed to Senator Moses 10 come to their aid, as they could not hold their or dcrs under present prices. Mir. Moses gave as an illustration of the "ecded pro- lection, the recent cancella.' 2 by China of a large order placed w.th a New Hampshire plant. After the order was placed Japan came forward with a much lower offer and China immediately can- ce1led the American order and will buy her needles of Japan.
 Wool men testHying before the ways l and means committee stated 1t was the low wage of foreign countries as against ! the high wages paid here that caused factories to close because they could mol ! compete with such low cost of production 1 Tn fact Congressn1an-elect Maloney oi Massachusetts stated that "all our tInem. | ployrnent troubles have come under dem ocratic tariffs"
