Satisfactory.

Florida officials. both state and
local. have been cooperating with
federal agents in the enforcement of
prohibition during the big drive now
being made there. Commissioner
Haynes reported today in making
public additional results of the cam
paign.

hundred cases Of liquor, 'camouflaged
with grapefruit, tomatoes and cab
bage. The consignment was bound
for northern points. The fruit and
vegetables were donated to hospitals,
: Nearly 500 cases of liquor. recently
purchased at Nassau. were seized on
the yacht Patricia, docked at Miami
and alleged to be under British regis
try. In connection with these seizures
one of the notorious roadhouses
raided by Miami officials and the own
ers placed under arrest.
This occurred before Col. Mutt and
his corps of trained investigators re-
vealed their identity. and was ac-
cepted by him as a good omen. later
justified by hearty cooperation on
the part Of federal. state and munich
pal officials in Miami.
However. events initiated against

official had drawn up and signed was
withdrawn. In another instance a
deal with a smuggling airplane, con-
tracted to bring drugs and liquor
from Cuba, broke wing while tax
ing the air and the deal fell through
pending repairs.
THE thirty raids conducted under
direction of Col. Mutt followed evil
dence of the most conclusive char
acter. in every case made doubly sure.
and in addition to liquor found on
premises evidence In the way OF
checkbook stubs and walters table
sales at the rate of 81 and 81 each
were found. In one instance a man.
moth roulette wheel and other gam
bling devices were found"
Pictures as Proofs.
In connection with reports received
from Col. Mutt at prohibition head
quarters this morning came pictures
Of their raids. One photo depicted
three bottles of igh-grade vintage
before punchboard from which all
the numbers had been punched in a
cigar store in Miami. The bottles had
been won by prohibition agents as
prizes in their campaign.
Further evidence included photos
of an agreement signed by c. NJ.

National Bank, concerning the de-
post of $4.05o alleged to have been

The Senate.

The four-power Pacific agree.
mont reached at the Washington
conference will continue to occu-
py the attention of the Senate this
week, Notwithstanding the fact
that the Senate on Friday, by a
vote of 81 to 27. voted to ratify
the treaty proper. Opponents of
the treaty have raised the ques-
tion as to the Declaration" sign
ed on the same day as the. treaty,
involving the right Of the United
States to make agreements with
the Pacific, and excluding from the
application of the four-power,
treaty domestic questions" Sem,
atOr Hitchcock, ranking demo-
cratic member Of the foreign re-
lations committee, contends that
this decla ra ton should have been
ratified along with the four-power
treaty. Senator Lodge. republican
separately. But Mr.. Hitchcock
and others hold that this is not
enough-that Japan might, for
instance. ratify the four-pOwer
pact proper and entirely overlook
the declaration. which touches the
immigration question closely.
In the meantime there Is pend
ing in the Senate the supplemental
treaty. declaring that the four
power treaty does not apply to the
homeland of Japan.
The treaty situation Is decidedly
muddled by the latest turn OF
events. But as soon as the four
power agreements have been dis
posed of. the Senate will be called
upon to consider and ratify the
naval limitation treaty. This
treaty is expected to be ratified by
an overwhe lining vote. The two

rine and poison gas treaty will fol-
low 1t.

fore the finance committee. 1t will

tariff bill has been reported to the
Senate. Chairman McCumber OF
the finance committee believes that
the bonus bill will be acted upon
quickly in committee, and that it

Some of his colleagues. however,
