DRY ENFORCEMENT
FOUND TOPSY TURVEY
Harding Curbs Operation
Of the Prohibition
Navy.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERvicEI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. - The
federal prohibition enforcement or
ganization was turned topsy turvey
today in a rush TO revise existing
regulations TO make them conform
to President Harding's decision
placing a curb on the operation OF
the prohibition navy" beyond the
three mile limit Drastic rules a.
ready promulgated for the maneuv-
ers of the dry naval forces on the
high seas were virtually withdrawn.
Hurry orders went out from Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes office
warning commanders of the dry
navy vessels TO stop their promis-
cuou. holding UT of foreign ships in
search of liquors The - ips here
after will confine their cruising
largely to waters within the three
mile zone. Prohibition officials
were upset by the suddenness of the
presidents edict. II followed Wig
orous protest lodged with the State
department. by British Ambassador
Geddes over seizures OF British ves-
sells laden with liquor outside the
twelve mile limit.
In diplomatic circles today the
prediction was made that British
and other shipping concerns whose
boats have been seized, will have
the strong backing of the British
government in attempts to recover
the vessels and the cargoes they
carried.

IrlAEs BUREAU AT STATE cApIrALl

TTlMES BUREAU AT STArE CAPITAL
POLLS. Sept 81. The
one significant thing brought out by
a study OF the actions of the vari-
Gus state assemblies n the last two
years relative to public utilities
control is that pleas for abolition
of state public service commi ssions
have not only been ignored by the
lawmakers. but in 4 number of in
stances the commissions powers
have been increased
This fact is shown in a report
made by Charles Marlborough, d.
rector of the legislative information
bureau OF Indiana. In making the
investiga the messages OF the
governors Of the various states de-
livered to the state legislatures was
made and study of each law re-
lating to public utilities was com
pared with the statutes previously
on the books OF the states.
Probably the most notable in
stance TO the public service COM
mission was in the case of Governor
Small OF Illinois who asked for a
repeal OF the law and the establish
nent of a railroad and warehouse
commission with virtually no pow

ereated a Commerce commission

public utility commission"
Governor Edwards OF New Jersey
also advocated the abolition OF the
commission of that state because
il had lost the confidence of the
people" The Legislature did abolish
II. but created a new commissions
and added motor buses TO the list Of
utilities 1t supervised.
The investigation shows that pop
ular displeasure Is shown in all the
states against the utility commits
sions. To those who had not made
an investigation it was presumed
that the agitation against state
utility regulation was not wide
spread. In most instances the move
ment against state commissions was
the result of the increased rates.
Although rents. commodities and
things in general commanded high
er prices the people could not single
out any one body to blaim. In the
case OF utility rates. however, 1t
was easy to single out the commits
sion to condemn. But, the record $
show, that the lawmakers when
they came face to face with the situ-
alton backed away from abolition.
and IN several instances, gave the
commission more power. In no in
stance was the theory Of commits
sion regulation Of utilities abridged.

At one of the safest railroad cross

were derailed.
It is the supposition that the con-

as the gates were open the cross

This crossing is considered by
authorities as the safest point in
