EXTEND DRY RAIDS
TO IL MILES AT SEA
Customs Men to Be in Charge
of Coast Guard Boats With
Prohibition Crews.

Plans to clean up the booze traffic of
New York harbor. whence comes the
major portion of the city's supply. were
developed yesterday at a conference
among officials Of the Federal prohibit
tion department, the customs service and
the United States Coast Guard.
The conference was called to bring
about greater cooperation among the
three Government services In an effort
to halt smuggling from liners anchored
outside the twelve mile customs limit.
Eight high powered launches, capable of
making thirty miles an hour, will arrive
here within few days and will be as
signed to this work.
In commenting. on the situation at the
close of the conference Ralph A. Day,
State Prohibition Director, said:
I'VE are going TO close in so tight on
the rum runners who are bringing liquor
into New York harbor and thereby
coast towns that they will either have
to cease their operations or else land at
other points along the coast"
The method Of obtaining closer CO.
operation between the departments was
decided upon as follows: The Coast
Guard Is to furnish boats to the other
two branches for use in chasing the rum
runners whose number has increased
greatly recently with the curtailing Of
smuggling from the Canadian border
The boats are to be in charge of GUS
toms authorities so that they may op-
Grated outside the three mile limit, at
which the jurisdiction of the prohibition
department ends. The crews of the
boats are to include prohibition agents
as we'll as customs men, and the cases
will be turned over to the prohibition
department after arrests are made.
In accordance with this plan the for
mer submarine chaser Hahn. now the
flagship of the prohibition navy, will be
placed under the direction of the GUS
toms department, though 1t will con-
tinue to be manned by prohibition
agents as at present. The activities Of
the Hahn came in for much discussion
at the conference. the officials agreeing
that the vessel has done effective work
against the small type of craft used by
rum runners.
The conference was held in the office
of the Collector of the Port. The off,
.cials present included Special Deputy
Collector of Customs II. c. Stuart, at
present acting Collector of the Port ohm
d. Appleby, prohibition zone chief for
New York and New Jersey; John 8. Par
sons, chief enforcement officer for the
State Of New York; Mr.. Day and others.

WATERMELON CROP
OF 10000, 900 COMING
Danger of Market Becoming
GIutted Next Month.

Twenty million watermelons-2O.o 900
carloads-will reach Northern markets
from their native habitat in the South
within the next four weeks. The crop
is unprecedented IN quality as well as
quantity.
Abnormal weather conditions have so
retarded the growth In some parts Of
the melon belt that the usual steady
flow of the fruit to market will be i'm
possible. All the watermelon States"
will be shipping the first part of July.
There is danger OF the market for this
perishable commodity becoming glutted.
For the first time the watermelon has
been made the subject OF official pro-
rouncement. Gov HardwiclS of Georgia
issued proclamation congratulating
the State upon the success OF the crop.
Therefore !. Thomas w. Hardwick.
Governor of the State of Georgia, do
hereby Issue this my proclamation and
designate the week of July 3. 1922. as
Watermelon Week. and urge the coop
Grafton OF Governors of other States and
fellow Americans in disposing of this
great crop"
Ravages of the boil weevl in the cot
ton fields and the growing tendency
toward diversity of agriculture In the
South are responsible for the great in
crease of watermelon acreage. which in
crease amounts TO 10000 acres in Geor-
gia alone. The growers have formed CO.
operative associations and are intent on
producing melons OF quality by use Of
selected seed and pruning OF vines. One
vine TO n hill and one melon to vine is
now the rule. Methods of handling and
grading have also been modernized.

Treasury Bomb for Congress

Republican Hopes of Proving

With Disclosure.

WASHINGTON, April ( Copy
k4ght) Secretary Mellon has dropped
another bombshel in the halls OF
congress.
He has oficially disclosed that
,R215, 900. 900 less will be available from
tax objections during the twelve
knonthJ beginning this July than was
Estimated in the budget. This means
shat unless Congress finds ways to
cut down some of the estimated ex-
penses contained in the 1928 budget,
Nhe American people will he asked to
bay higher taxes.
congress has been hoping that at
the fall elections some kind OF show
ing could ~ mad" that To'''S 8 orr
the Republicans ha- r,dIced tho tax
burden. The prospects now are that
Lon account OF the falling off in bust
ness the tax collections will be so
Snuch less than was anticipated that
4he Government will face a deficit
which in normal times would be re-
esArueQ as unprecedented.
This deficit will arise irrespective
Iof, whether Congress enacts a bonus
law and provides compensation for
ex-service men. Tho only difference
In the case of the bonus Is that the
deficit will be much larger.
For several weeks there has been
talk Of using approximately 5000, ,0OO,-
900 expected TO be paid by Great
Britain as interest on the war debts
10 America as a basis for the issu-
hnce OF bonus certificates. Until
Secretary Mellon announced there
Dad been shrinkage of receipts
from tax collections, the plan has en-
countered little opposition, except
that President Harding has said he
would not sign a bonus bill unless it
hVefe definitely established where the
funds could be raised and Treasury
officials insist there is no certainty
about the British paying any interest
bnoney this year.
A total OF nearly a half billion dol
lars ia. required annually to meet the
coupons on Government bonds issued
huring the war. The experts have
peen figuring the British payments
would cut down that amount consid.
erably and enable the Government to
give the American people the benefit
pr the reduction on their next years
kax bills.
But all this has suddenly been
FWept aside by the disappointing fig
lres issued by Secretary Mellon.
