TRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK. Feb 3--Evidence in volving 3S customs inspectors here on charges of graft will be presented to the federal grand jury when the cases are completed, F. B. Barnes, assistant
 federal district attorney, announced
 tonight. Warrants will be issued he said.
 E. C. Newton, collector of the port, admitted that recommendations had
 been sent to Washington for dismissal of eight of the inspectors. Otherwise, he said no changes had taken place in
 the staff. He said the short investiga- tion had revealed a deplorable condi-
 tion on the piers
 The inspectors, he declared have
 been receiving bribes ranging from $1 to $500 from passengers who wished their baggage passed uninspected. The inspector would not say how much money the government had lost. but said it was probably many thousands of dollars
 The smuggling of liquor, MT. New ton added. figured in the investigation. There was also evidence which tended to show that an international drug smuggling ring was at work. he said. Mir. Newton asserted that the fault was largely the result of a system Of lack of discipline at the port.

HOUSE CUTS ARMY
 APPROPRIATION TO MAINTAIN 15O,OOO
 MEN AFTER JULY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-A definite step toward reduction of the army to 150 600 men was taken today when the house approved an appropriation suf- ficient only to maintain force of that size during the fiscal year be- ginning July 1.
 The action came after an attempt had failed to amend the army appro- priation bill to provide for 175,000 men and to decrease the number of of ficers from 14,O00 to approximately 5000.
 When the section of the bill appro- priating funds for the pay of enlisted men was reached a dozen representa- tives were clamoring for recognition. Amendments poured in and for an hour members revived the small army versus large army debate.
 The net result, however, was suc- cess for the efforts of the appropria- tions committee to keep the measure practically intact, all amendments be- ing voted down except one by Repre- sentative Johnson, Republican, South Dakota authorizing the discharge oi youths under IS on their application or at the request of their parents oi guardians. The house voted to grant such lads honorable discharges.
 vThe bill as amended carries S72.67S. 
 amount is sufficient for 150,0o0, it was stated An amendment to increase tht amount to $84,S49,909 was voted down 1 45 to IS.
 Another amendment which was de feated, 65 to AZ, would have required the war department to reduce the army l to 150,000 within six months after the passage of the bill.
 Previous to the discussion of the en- r,e !, nft T by Representative Jones. Democrat o1 l Texas, to have the appropriation fol 1 the pay of officers reduced from S42,- l 000 900 to S30,000,000. Such a cut, ht said would necessitate. a decrease ot approximately 5000 in their number Chairman Kahn of the military com mittee. led the fight to keep the of ficer strength as at present.
 "The experience of this county il the world war ought to be lesson fol 1 all time" he declared "It took us l: months to get ready to fight, chiefly l because we lacked trained officers" The Jones amendment was defeated | S6 to 29.
 | During the debate over proposals t, fix the maximum strength of the en 1 listed personnel at 175,000 instead O 150, 900, Representative Mondell, Re l publican leader, advocated the reduc l ton 10 l5U,UUV. congress, ne OeclareO should attempt to realize the hopes o 1 the American people by getting back t normal conditions The country be 1 lieves, he added. that an army of 150. % would be sufficient He also de | clared that the amount for militar. l purposes in appropriation bills now l pending in congress totals more thal S725, GOO, 900, more than three times tn sum, he added, appropriated for mili tary purposes during any one year be 1 fore the war.
 The house quickly knocked out al amendment restricting pay of enlist ed men to those who could read an write, and an amendment offered b Representative Hull, Republican, Iowa 1 abolishing bonuses to men on re- enlist l rnents was ruled out Of order

London Port Sends Three Thousand To
 America In 6 Weeks

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The distressing conditions in Central Europe reflected here in Unemployment are among the contributory causes of the flood of emigrants from England to America The foreign clements predominate ill the applications for visae. As the con sular officials describe the situation, all of London's east end seems to be seeking to go to America.
 Three thousand persons have em- parked from the port of London in six weeks and hundreds are waiting viSR
 Fear of American legislation limiting immigration coupled with increased activity of such passengers, owing to the shipping surplus, is given as the chief cause of the present rush.
 The emigration control sections es- tablished in Europe are facilitating the work of regulating the tide oi emigrants but the slaclkness of regu- lations which allow the officials to warn unacceptable persons that they will be turned back from Ellis Island but do not prohibit their departure from Europe, Is serious handicap.

[RspubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-A1though debate on the Fordney emergency tariff bill dragged in the senate today, real progress was made toward def mite action. Senator McCumber. Re- publican. North Dakota, obtained an agreement to take up the bill with it's amendments for & second reading and leaders reached tentative under standing to fix a date for a vote.
 The tentative program probably will be submitted to the senate tomorrow and unanimous consent asked Tor an agreement to vote February Is.
 Suggestions and counter suggestions came frequently during the day All were based on political maneuvering and the leaders conferred about them in and out of the chamber, while Sen ators Capper. Republican, of Kansas; Fletcher. Democrat. Florida; McKeller, Democrat, Tennessee, and Robinson, Democrat. Arkansas. occupied the at- tention of the few senators present with speeches. Mir. Robinson discussed provisions of taking care of invalid veterans, but the others spoke on tariff.
 Mir. Mcclellan had a brief colloquy with Senator Ransdall, Democrat, Lou .siana. upon demand of the latter for proof of his statements that a sugar trust existed. Four or five senators went to MT. McKelIar's aid. but MT. Ransda1l declined to be convinced. concluding that he would neither deny nor affirm the existence of such q trust"
 The Tennessee senator challenged supporters of the bill to show how it would aid the farmers, asserting that little of their products remained on the farm. He declared the Sroposed tariff on sugar would mean only that congress was "legislatinE money into the pockets of the sugar trust" and meats. flour and sugar-the country would be taxed between s1,500, 900 00O and $2.000, 900, 900.
 Senator McKellar said:
 Senators have admitted that this Din Is going to help the spectators and the profiteers more than anybody else. The senator from Kansas too I suppose he will vote for it. I want 10 say that if he does after the speech he has made, he will have to hold his
 Senator Mclean. Republican. Con- necticut. said that the intention was to save the agricultural industry.
 Mir. Mclean said that. while it might cause an increase in prices, he felt the better course would be for the country to pay them now rather than to await destruction of the farming business and then pay high prices parma nently."
 Senator Fletcher accused the Re- publicans of using the tariff bill tc make protectionists out of all farmers and "sew up their votes on every pro- tective tariff matter"
 The senate will meet an hour earlier tomorrow.

rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS. Feb. 3-The French parlia- ment. chamber and senate today ap- proved the governments declarations on the decisions of the supreme coun- cil respecting separations, disarna- ment and other questions.
 It received Premier Briand's dec- laration with all signs that promise large majority in the vote of confi- dence which the Briand cabinet will seek tomorrow.
 Andree Lardieu. former high com missioner to the United States. had given notice to an interpolation. This was taken most seriously by the gov ernment, but was a moderate attack against the cabinet, especially M. Lou cheuer and on the haste France had displayed to settle matters. concerning the United States before the new ad- ministration was installed. Criticizing the Paris conference, he declared:
 There can be no equalization, mod elization or discounting Of the German debt until the United States is a party to the agreement"
 Decisions of the allied conference he asserted. were embodied in the Yer sailles treaty. The conference, he con- tended, was useless. All that 1t might have done was to hold the Germans strictly to the treaty
 Article 240 of the treaty settled Ger many's financial obligations. Article 252 provided for the manner in which the indemnity must be paid and for turning the matter over to the rep arations commission. he said. With reference to disarmament no delibera tions were needed except enforcement of the treaty. With respect to penal ties, Article 25z provided for the seiz- ure of the German customs. M. Briand informed the deputies that the government has in no wise renounced the purpose of collecting the entire debt due from Germany if she reeovers her economic prosperity" The declaration was received witl business-like silence. Nj. Briand. Tar dieu. Margarine. Lacottee and the com munist leader. NJ. Cachin presented their arguments much as might the board of directors of a financial or ganization.
 NJ. Tardieu will continue tomorrow when M. Louicheuer, minister O. finance, who was attacked, will reply Then M Briand will answer M. Cachin who read the declaration of the com munists. It advocates a world wide revolution and immediate peace witf Moscow.
