Everywhere have talked with

HAYNES SEEKS MORE
SHIPS TO HUNT RUM
Prohibition Nets Huge Sums to
Treasury, Director
Points Out.
BY w. H. ATKINS.
International News Service.

Whether prohibition really pro-
hibits still provokes acrimonious de.
bate. Byt prohibition at least seems
to be paying Its own way. Enforce-
ment Of the dry laws, upon the pres.
ent rigid scale. Is held by Conin,is-
sioner Haynes to be more than self.
sustaining. =.
Counting what the Government
actually collects from fines, Com.
missioner Haynes maintains that
prohibition enforcement-is paid for,
and then there Is left probably as
much more for the United States
Treasury. In the past six months
figures submitted by prohibition d..
rectors set forth that collections in
penalties Imposed upon violators ex.
ceeded -$10.000.000. In one group
Of noted cases. Haynes said. com.
prising more than twenty members
Of the wealthy liquor fraternity, most
Of them brewers and ,distillers, the
fines aggregated more than S1,000,-
900. In another group, almost as
large. the fines and penalties as
sessed exceeded $500. 200.
Enforcement officials estimate
that S2o.o0o,o0o Is due the Govern.
ment by violators in contested cases.
Many Of these. however, may not
be tried for several years.
The figures shown are significant.
They are important because pro-
hibition officials will demand from
Congress sum which may run as
high as $4,000, 900 next year for
prohibition enforcement. The amount
now allowed is $10,000,0o0 q year.
The argument will be made that pro.
hibition always can be depended
upon to return to the Treasury 100
per cent more than it costs. Mr..

"The hour has struck when the

La Toilette observed his sixtyeev-
enth birthday recently by delivering
a fiery onslaught upon the United

of his Senatorial colleagues who dts-
agree with him.

The victory Of Col. Smith W.,
Brookhart In the Iowa Senatorial pri'
maries made La Toilette happy. He
worked hard for Brookhart's nominal

limit to help put the lowan over In
the face of the regular" Republican
organization Of Iowa.
II was apropos Of Brookhart's VIC

the above prediction that the "reac-
with the people.
"The voters Of Iowa were given
an opportunity to elect q man rep
resentative of the people Of that
State, and they did not permit the
opportunity to slip through their
fingers" said La Toilette. Already
the truth is beginning, to dawn upon
Washington that the men and
women Of this country may not be
fooled indefinitely. that they enter.

garding public men and policies that
other generations OF Americans have

Wanted-Men to Rob Neptune
According to recent news dispatches,
an expedition has been organized for
the salvaging Of the more valuable parts
of the Lusitania.
The report says that the hulk itself
lies too deep to raise from its resting
place in the depths Of the Irish Sea I;
but special machinery has been con-
structed to recover some of the movable
treasures from the ill-fated victim of
the German sea ghouls; no great diff
Guilty is foreseen because the exact loca-
tion of the ship is known and the belief
is that she is in an upright position.
Estimates Of the gold in the wreck
run into the millions; single pas
senger is said to have deposited $751;
600 with the Lusitania purser; while
Madame Antoine de Page. wife of the
medical director Of the Belgian Red
| Cross, is reported to have carried more
than 100000.
Perhaps this news itself Is ordinary
enough, yet thousands of men in Of
! fees and factories must have felt n
quickening of the pulse when they read
the brief dispatch.
For the moment confining walls
faded away into the dim horizons of the
tossing ocean swell: the desk became
the steering wheel Of the salvage ship
the workman's cap turned into diver +
helmet; commonplace companions of
the workaday world were transformed
into adventurers in search of more
than golden fleece security and com
fort were forgotten in the spell of the
siren lure of the treasure hidden be-
meath the waves.
A hundred similar schemes must be
afoot unknown to the world at large
who can say how many inventors are
puzZling over devices to thwart old
Father NeDtune's jealous guard and
add fathom to the depth at which
man may work and recover the valua :
bles lost at sea?
For thousand years the god of the
deep has taken his toll his treasure
vaults hold the ransom of a myriad OF
kings; the profits which SIR Francis
Drake was able to wrest from the loaded
galleons of the Spanish Main are but O
piker's pittance compared with the ple
thoric riches just out of reach today.

complishment as we'll rs for profit, has
largely enlisted in the contest; and
with science enrolled, he would be q
foolish prophet who would place a
limit on the possibilities of enormous
recoveries within the next few years.
1t will require brave and hardy men
to rob Neptune of his loot; but when
were men known to be lacking for
such hazardous enterprises?
