Careful selection of seed corn from

the first steps toward insuring good
crop next year, according to George

SEARCH BEYOND

Hughes Suggests Plan to Great
Britain
TO BE FULLY RECIPROCAL
Any Suspected British Vessel Could
Be Examined In Extra American
Zone-No Final Decision
Made.
TO BE FULLY RECIPROCAL

Washington.-A reciprocal arrange
ment, under which both the United
States and Great Britain would be per-
mitted to search one another's mer-
chant ships in certain zones outside
the three-mile. limit, forms the basis
of the plan which has been suggested
to the British Government by Secre-
tary Hughes to prevent rum runners
from approaching American shores.
AS outlined in authoritative quar-
ters here, the recent American note
to London brought forward this pro-
posal in wholly tentative manner
without claiming any right to hold up
British shipping beyond the three
mile line unless similar privilege as
regards American shipping was grant.
ed to British officials. The Secretary
communication was said to treat the
reciprocal search plan as standing out.
side international law, but to be desir-
able as a special arrangement because
of the difficulties of enforcing the pro-
hibition law of the United States.
In order to make. the agreement
fully reciprocal, it was said the right
of search in the proposed zones along
the American and British coast would
be unconditional. Under the plan
any suspected British vessel could be
stopped and examined within the
extra-legal American zone for liquor
or any other evidence of illegal pur-
poses, while the same broad privilege
would apply to American vessels in
the British zone regardless of what
might be the cause of suspicion.
London dispatches Indicating that
he proposal had not met with favor.
able reception among British officials
apparently caused no surprise here,
he State Department having antici.
pated that its suggestion might be in
terpreted as an infringement on the
well-established principles of freedom
on the high seas. 1t is said to be re-
garded by Secretary Hughes, however,
as involving no attempt to change in
ternational law, but merely as an ex-
tension of special favors which might
be to the advantage of both nations.
Officials said they had received no Off
cial word Of final decision by the
London government.

Athens.-A note sent by the Greek

emphasizes the view that the occupa.

means of bringing about peace, and
says Greece has made arrangements
with that purpose in view.
The note begs the Allies to issue
the necessary orders to the army Of
Brigadier General Sir Charles Har-

is confident difficulties will not be
imposed in the way of Greece. The
note adds that By the naturalization
of Constantinople the Allies are pro-
tecting, instead of coercing, Turkey,
and thus depriving Greece of means
for imposing peace.
The Turkish atrocities, the note
continues, make it vital for Greece to
adopt more energetic measures
against the Turks. but that the Greek
Government is willing to discuss the
matter with the Allies.

that he will oppose by force any move

The Greek army of 100000 men in

realized that this expenditure cannot
be kept up indefinitely in the present
parlous state of the treasury.
The remittances of S50,000,O 900 from
Greeks in America during the last
year have been of immense assist

are still hopeful that the American
Government may release the balance

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-Chicago Is the
home OF about 10000 professional
criminals. according to estimates OF
tho Chicago crime commission made
public today. Tho reason for such
an unprecedented number of law
breakers here Is ascribed by crime
experts to the slowness with which
the wheels OF Justice are set in mo
ton and their small number OF con

During 1891 Il is pointed out, less
than n out Of four OF all the de-
PENDANTS tried for murder in Cook
county were convicted.
On April 1. 1920. there were las
persons indicted for murder and
awaiting trial.
As proof Of their contention that
speedy Justice reduces crime, III
commission cites statistics showing
that when this condition was
brought TO the attention of n
courts and an effort was made at
once to clear the murder docket.
twelve Of these indicted were sen
fenced to hang and the others were
given Jail sentences.

Chicago was almost cut in half.
Where there were $50 murders in
1919. there were 100 In 1921
