HIGH PRICES STIFLE
BRITISH CIGAR SALE
Slump in Industry Also At.
tributed to Large I'M

Special Gable 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1899. bD THE NEw York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
London. March 4. {
Exorbitant prices and the love for
"gaspers" are rapidly killing the British
cigar industry. The output of British
manufactured cigars mas fallen off e7
per cent. since the war. Last year the
consumption of tobacco was more than
l2.000,000 pounds less than the previous
year. That the trade is in bad way
Is freely admitted by the leading whole
salers and retailers. who say that un-
employment in the trade is worse than
ever before.
Manufacturers declare that the high
duty, which Is more than eight shillings
on the pound. is the principal factor in
putting cigars beyond tie reach of the
average man. Another reason is that
the high price of Havanas has caused n
general boost in the price of British
cigars to such an extent that men have
taken to smoking pipes

to have the immigration authorities CO.
operate with the local and State authori-
ties in rounding up violations of the
law. but as with the smuggling of
lIauor, Il is difficult to watch all the
coves and inlets at all times, and the
Chinese and others who are barred from
the United States are able to negotiate
entry with comparative ease.
How the smugglers Work.
1t is an interesting thing, however,
that the smugglers are rather hard
boiled" in their treatment of the unde.
sirable aliens. Assistant Secretary of
Labor Henning has received reports
which show that contracts sometimes
are made to bring the aliens to the
United States. but that they do not ar
rive. The smugglers take them aboard
their vessels in Cuba, cruise for several
hours up and down the coast and then
let the aliens off again on Cuban soil
1t is very often a surprised lot OF
aliens who show up at Havana IN the
morning, thinking they are in Tampa or
Jacksonville. But this is not the rule.
The ease with which it is possible to
land in Florida does not always require
such tactics.
Most of the captures that are made
of undesirable aliens are in the cities
or along the country roads. The aliens
betray themselves by keeping together
and attracting attention because OF
their lack of familiarity with Ameri.
can customs. They are picked up, In
many instances. because of their in
ability to understand.
Those who are opposed TO the volstead
law have seized upon the situation to
support their arguments that the meas
ure never should have been put on the
statute books, particularly IL the Gov
ernment did not propose to go the whole
length with enforcement. Tha utter
contempt for the law in Florida. they
argue, will spread all over the country
with the result that other Federal laws
will be disregarded in much the same
manner.
The reports received from Federal
The New York herald., 1922-03-05

agents in Florida are all about the same
and show that conditions are even worse
than have been pictured in recent news
paper accounts. They indicate that the
only way the Government can effec-
lively clean up the situation and put
definite end to smuggling Is to turn a
great and costly force of agents loose
with airplanes, patrol boats and uniim-
tied expense accounts.
Because of its general location and its
peculiar shore line Florida is regarded
as the most advantageous place In the
country for the conduct OF smuggling
operations. 1t is easy enough for small
vessels to get there from Cuba ana
South and Central American countries.
This is not so true along the great
stretches OF Mexican and Canadian bor-
der. for the simple reason That ths
routes across the border are fairly Wei
defined and those who indulge in illegal
operations are in constant danger ot
arrest But the sea Is always road
in itself. and so the Florida coast as ~
always has been. continues to be the
happy smuggling ground for booze ana
immigrant blockade runners.

trict may arrange furloughs to suit the
convenience of the work and the wishes
OF the personnel. il is suggested that
the furlough be divided into semi
monthly periods, that Is those who are
rurloughed for the first two weeks in
March will be furloughed again in May.
"As already explained, this action has
been taken only because of necessity
and the bureau regrets ii is not pos
sible TO retain all of its employees on
the payroll for the full year, but il
Is believed that the situation viii be
thoroughly understood"
Commissioner Husbands letter is the
physical evidence of the policy that has
been forced upon the Immigration Bu-
reau by Congress, which has been neg
lectful of its duty in carrying out Its
own laws, unfathful TO its agents in
approprating sufficient funds for main
tanning them In the service in which
they have been employed. many Of them
for years. Necessarily the action has
caused a wave OF protest from indi-
vidual members of Congress. but these
protests will not avail and the employees
in the service must suffer.
The air feet which Is to be brought
into action is composed of one airplane.
or, rather. it will be composed of one
airplane when it is assembled. When
that will be not even the press agent OF
the prohibition office, Sherman Cuneo. is
able to say.
So far as can be learned the number
OF prohibition agents operating in Flor
ida at this time Is less than fifty. and
they are strung all over the state. They
are under the direction of Federal Prohl-
bition Director A. l.. Allen. whose head
quarters are in Tampa. Special Agent
Hensen Is operating with Miami as his
base. There are larger forces at Tampa
and Miami and a few agents at Key
West. They are cooperating with the
Coast Guard. the immigration authori-
ties, the customs officials and the local
police.
War on Locai BootIegEers.
AS is the case in most sections of the
country, however. the authorities are
operating against local distillers of corn
whisky and recognized bootleggers. The
smugglers are skillful enough to evade
detection. They run their schooners into
isolated places along the coast, carry
their goods ashore and get away by
automobile. II the Federal authorities
ever hear OF the operations it is too late
for them to do anything. Because Of the
secrecy OF the whole business there is
no telling the extent of the smuggling.
With it's limited force the United
States Coast Guard, which is charged
primarily with the protection Of life and
property at sea, is almost helpless in

NEWRERRY CASE AGAIN
BEFORE THE SENATE
NeW Investigation of Vote
VIII Be Called For.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Another par
tisan discussion over The right OF Sena-
tor Newberry of Michigan to scat in
the Senate. a question decided early in
January. took place in the Senate again
late to-day.
At the close Senator Caraway (Ark. /,
Democrat, announced that on Monday
he would introduce resolution calling
for an investigation of charges made
several weeks ago by Senator PoindeS-
ter (Wash.), Republican, that influ-
ences had been brought to bear to force
Senator'S to vote against the seating OF
Mr.. Newberry. even though their can
viction was that he should retain the
seat.
The discussion was precipitated by
Mr.. Caraway. who sought to answer a
letter put into the record three weeks
ago by DIR. Poindexter. in which the
charges OF malign influences were made.
Nearly three f:ours followed OF review
OF Che testimony. both In the Newberry
court trial and the Senate hearings, but
few Senators remained to listen. the de-
bate being confined to Mr. Caraway
and Mr.. Poindextcr.

getting track OF the fleets OF motor
boats and scpooners used in the SNUG
Cling. There are only about cne hun
dred men all told in the coast guard
organization operating in Florida
waters. The cutter Tallapoosa Is the
chief OF the vessels, but the fleet in.
ciudes three little cruising vessels which
are so small that they arc unable to
venture outside the interior waters.
In addition to this. there is no present
prospect OF strengthening the coast
guard fleet. This organization, which
until a few years ago was the revenue
cutter service and the ifesaying SER
vice, is limited in its size and there is
nc sentiment in Washington just now
for increasing 1t. Perhaps ii will be
combined with the United States Navy
before long. under the reorganization
scheme now in course of preparation.
Whether the navy ever win consent &c
becoming prohibition sleuth Is very
questionable.
No Vessels Available.
The fact that the coast guard Is
charged with duties additional to the
protection of life and property at sea
also makes it doubtful IL any more ves-
sells will be sent to Florida and vicinity.
Summer is approaching. and with 1t the
necessity for the seal patrol the need
for International patrol for protection
against icebergs and the normal recall
os vessels from their stations for re-
pairs. 1t looks as if no more vessels
will be availa BILE for use against snug
glers.
In the face of the retrenchment policy
Of Congress. which the people of the
country have been united In demand
ing, the customs service OF the Treasury
Department Is almost helpless so far
as Being OF any practical use In pre-.
venting smuggling Is concerned. There
are about ninety customs employees on
duty at the recognized Florida ports,
but this number is barely sufficient 70
collect the import duties on goods
brought in by legitimate trading vessels.
They keep a watchful eye for smugglers
of rum. narcotics and aliens, 1t Is true.
but what they can do TO prevent such
things is naturally limited.
The United States immigration servica
OF the Depai tment of Labor maintains
twenty officials and clerks in Florida,
under the direction of Inspector Thomas
V. Kirk of Jacksonville. They are. Of
course. stationed at the recognized ports
cf Florida to inspect incoming aliens
and enforce the immigration laws on
vessels making lawful entry to the diff
ferent ports.
There are not enough of these imrni-
grafton agents to protect the entire
coast line of 1000 miles-many times
considered-and so it is that undesir-
able aliens are getting across the bor-
der all the time. 1t accounts for the
fact that scores of Chinese are oftel
found wandering along the country
roads near the coast.
Every effort seems to have been made

The hostess who delights in set ting a novel dish before her guests, or in placing it on the table for the Sunday dinner Zen famille," is constantly on the lookout for new fish savories. Here is one that is not only delicious, but very at- tractive as well:
 Canned shrimps will answer for this dish, or the fresh may be used if obtainable. Prepare the shrimps by picking the shells from them, and cut them in large pieces. Dissolve one and a half table spoons of gelatine in one-fourth cup of cold water, then add pint of clear consomme or chicken broth, and bring to the boiling point. Season highly and strain through a cloth. Chill almost to the point of congealing, then pour into wet mold, and set in cold 1lace to stiffen. Arrange the hrimps in layers alternating with ayers of sliced green olives in he mold, adding the jelly from inc to time and permitting it 0 harden before placing any nore of the shrimps or olives. Then the mold is full, set it away 0 chill for several hours. Then urn out on a platter and border with nasturtium leaves or with 'rcss.
