ton.
Government investigations visited
Jacksonville. Tampa. Tarpon Springs,
Miami. Key West and Havana. They
mingled, it is said. with the kings
of tbe smuggling Industry ana
talked with aliens of every nationality
who sought entry to the United States.
The data gathered, it is stated, will
Drove invaluable TO the government IN

taxed the ingenuity of federal agents
to combat.
The smuggling notifications, it is
declared, extend to the capitals OF ELL
rope. and involve Greeks. Spnnihrds,
Poles RouInanians, Russians and CHI
nese.
c The report states that the favorite
method of gaining entry to the United
States from Cuba for certain alien
| women has been for them to enter into
| "faIe' marriages with nnturaliZed
American citizens who. for certain con-
siderations, go through mock ceremo-
MES and then accompany their wives
| to some Florida point. Frequently, it
| is said, obliging ''bridcgrooms' have
| been paid as high as 5000 for their
part in the scheme.
The usual fee charged for SNUG
Cling aliens, it is learned, ranges from
| $500 to $1,000 for each Chinese and
| about $50 for an European alien.
The principal smugglers in Havana,

naturaliZed Americans.
4 great many of the smuggling
craft it is declared. land and depart

and do not enter or clear at the
custom house there.
One of the fayOrite routes for the
smugglers. it is learned is from Hn-
vana to Long Key. thence up the
coast past Turkey Point to Miami,
through Hope Sound. past Palm
Beach. then through the inner water
way" and finally into st. John river.
Aliens and liquor are unlouded at va
rious points On route.
Launches are used having Il speed
ranging from fifteen to twenty-five
miles an hour. it is said, and carry up
to forty aliens.
Both Chinese and European aliens,
it is declared. are being smug.led in
at Mobile, Pensacola, Tarpon Springs
and nj Il dozen places within short dis.
lance of Tnrron Springs. Small vcs-
sells are understood frequently to put
in at Tarpon Springs for supplies or
repairs" the inspectors explaining
that ut such time large numbers of
aliens and quantities of liquor are
landed.
Liquor ut this point ii is asserted, is
openly sold over soft drink counters.
From Miami to Jacksonville, Il dis
tancc of $40 miles, the whole coast line
is said 10 be wide open TO smuggling
operations.

Faith; Big outburst Due.
By CARL ID. GROAT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 12.-The new
tariff bill will be fought by the mi
nority as gold brick to the farm
er, as a sure source of raising the
cost Of living, as the highest tariff
ever imposed and as a deterrent to
needed world trade rather than a
help to, American business.
1t will be fought by Senator La
Toilette as the "wildest tariff" ever
written.
1t will be fought by the house as
a breach of faith on the part Of
senate finance committee republi-
cans who put in foreign valuation
after promising the ways and means
committee to use American valu-
alton.
This is the outline of some of the
cyclonic disturbance boiling up to-
day in congress in the wake Of in
PRODUCTION of the senate bill.
Quite aside from these general
lines Of attack there will be sniping
line within the republican party
itself for many members are dis
gruntled at rates for one reason or
another. The tariff bloc" highly
gratified with most Of the rates,
especially on farm products, has al
ready started a move for higher
vegetable oils duties because of
competition with home animal fats
and butter. 4.
Many schedules are due for a big
outburst. Hides and shoes will be
the center Of the largest attack
The minority fight on the meas
ure is taking shape following pre-
liminary conference Of democratic
members of the finance committee.
The United Press was informed
afterward that the tariff experts,
employed by that group regard the
bill as the highest ever written.
Senator Simmons gave some in
dications of the minority plan of at
tack when he declared that, In his
opinion, "the bill will most certainly
greatly increase the cost of living"
