BILE partial solution of the problem
of increasing the salaries of judges
was laid before the Senate finance
committee yesterday by former
Judge William c. Walsh, OF Cum

CATION of lawyers from the fourth
judicial district. 1t was that excess
fees Of the offices of clerks Of the
courts might be used for the purpose.
A statement of the excess fees,

the State comptroller, was presented
by the delegation. II showed that
the excess fees paid into the State
treasury by the clerks offices in the
counties comprising the fourth

This amount would be more than
sufficient to increase the salaries
of the two associate judges to 10000

The salaries of associate judges In
the county circuits are now $4,6cO.

But the man who now is oppos-

TACK Of FUNDS

NAVY ON ROCKS
Appropriation of $780, 900
Necessary to Keep Coast

High costs of operation threat
ened today to jam the highly-.outed
prohibition navy" on the financial
rocks. Budget officers We're plainly
aghast over the huge sum enforce
ment officers propose to spId to

hunting rum smugglers. Fear that
the dry fleet plans may run counter
to President, Harding's warning
against bureau deficits may break
UP the entire prohibition navy
scheme.
Commander w. e. Reynolds, Of
the coast guard. declared today
that nine sub-chasers transferred
by the navy. were loaned to Pro
hibition Commissioner Haynes or.
ganizauon, but that enforcement
authorities will assume entire re.
sponsibility for manning the sub
chaser fleet and Of paying for It's
operations. None of the ccast
guards personnel will be assigred
for duty with the dry fleet" Com
mander Reynolds said.
Not In Use Yet.
So far as could be learned today
the dry flag has not been hoisted
above a single one of the nine boats
transferred. 1t may be weeks OF
even months before technical and
financial details in connection with
the use of the vessels for liquor Law
enforcement can be perfected.
Officials estimated the cost OF
running this fleet at about $3.50, ,00C
a year. This does not allow for
depreciation. The cost of food and
pay for the crew for a year would
be about $500, 900 for the nine YES
sells.
The appropriations allowed the
Treasury Department for enforcing

low and, with four moro month:
remaining of the present fiscal year
officials of the Treasury were moi
able to say how the prohibition

a short period, without ample
funds.
Treasury officials declared. aftes
a review OF appropriations made by
Congress, that no funds were avail
able at this time to pay for the pro
posed fleet. Meanwhile prohibition
officers went ahead with a plan tC

TOURISTS TO BATTtE
SCENES GROW FEWER

PARIS, March 14.-The organiza-
ton of trips to the battlefields has
been a failure, state important tour
ing agencies. Whereas, in 1919, fig
ures showed that visitors to the
country and the French people them
selves were very keen to visit the
scenes of fierce battles, today no one
is attracted by the lavish Propaganda
sent out to visit the ruins.
These touring companies suppose
that not enough attractions remain
for the visitor. Debris has been
cleared away, and souvenir hunters
usually leave disappointed. In many
parts the ruins no longer exist. Even
trees have been planted which in
many sectors have completely
changed the appearance of the land
from one OF bleakness and destruc-
ton to a land of prosperity.
In three years barely $50, 900
French people visited the battle

BY International News Service.


The backbone of the miners was
stiffened today when Samuel Comp
ers. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. assured them that
the whole American labor movement
was with them in their controversy
with the operators.
THE cause of the miners Is just,
and in that Just cause they will have
the united and answering support
of organized labor" Gompers said.
In labor circles this is understood
to mean that financial support will
be given the miners. rather than the
calling OF sympathetic strikes
The efforts of Secretary Of Labor
Davis to bring the miners and oper-
ators into a joint conference were en-
dorsed today by the social service de-
partments Of the Federal Council Of
the Churches of Christ In America
and the National Catholic Welfare
Council. In a joint statement they
declared that "a strike in tho coal In
dustry at this time of widespread In
dustrial depression would adj greatly
to the hardships of millions OF
people"
The statement asks both parties to
supply all the facts that decision
may be based upon justice rather
than economic advantage"
These church groups urge that the
Establishment of right human rela-
tions between the miners and oper.
ators takes precedence over any eco
nomic issue and is prerequisite to p
permanent solution of the industrial

NEW YORK, March 17.-Four
thousand cases of imported whiskey.

schooner. a big moving van. two
touring cars, and twenty-four prison
ers were seized early today by the
special service squad Of the customs
service In a spectacular raid on an
abandoned pier at the end Of East
Tiffany street, the Bronx.
Several shots were fired in q
fight between the raiders and the
automobiles. 1t is the biggest single
seizure made by the authorities
since the prohibition law went into
effect here.
According to the customs men, the
schooner is a boat known as the
viking" which has been long
sought as a rum runner. The word
viking" was found to have been
painted out and the name Clara"
substituted. The Vikings" home
port is Gloucester, Mass.
The prisoners included the cap
tain of the schooner. who gave the
name of John Johnson, but who was
declared by the authorities to be
David Helferon, the regular captain
of the schooner.
The whiskey, most of which was
still on board the schooner when the
raiders swooped down on the pier,
is said TO have been brought here
from Nassau and the Bahamas
The customs men believed that the
abandoned old pier has long been
used as a landing place for smuggled
liquor and think they nipped one of
the biggest smuggling conspiracies
uncovered since prohibition went into
