Agents From Other Sec

This State
IS GREATEST PROBLEM
Shallow Waters Give the
Smugglers Chance to
Cache Booze
(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 2-Prohibition
enforcement agents are being trans
ferred from various states of tn,
union to Florida for a concentrated
campaign against liquor smugglers
along the coasts of the peninsular,
prohibition officials said today. Off
cials declared it a difficult problem
that S now facing the government in
suppressing the traffic along the Flo
rida coast.
One peculiar difficulty in stopping
the traffic, it was pointed out, lay in
the fact that there are great expans-
es of shallow water along the coasts
which make it possible for the smugg-
lers to hide cargoes of liquor on the
bottom of the sea upon the approachh
of the authrities. This practice is
followed to such an extent, it is said,
that the shadows are almost carpet
ed with whiskey and rum.

. tBy Associated Press)
Washington, March 2.-Majority
members of the house ways and
means committee were hopeful today
that final solution of the soldiers
bonus problem had been found in the
proposed plan to substitute for the
cash feature of the bill a provision
for adjusted Service certificates
upon which former service men
could Immediately obtain funds from
the banks. Formulation of the plan
already had been undertaken today
by the special subcommittee to which
it was referred yesterday, and it was
understood it was planned to call in
Secretary Mellon and possibly mem
bers of the federal reserve board for
discussion of the whole proposal.
Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, a member of the subcommittee
to which the majority members as
signed the task of working out the
schee after failing to agree on any
method for financing the cash pay
ments, said it probably would be a
week or more before this could be
completed, and it appeared it would
be at. least month, before the, COM
mittee would be ready to report any
bill agreed upon to the house.
Without changing the vocational
training, farm and home aid and
land settlement features of the Ford
ney bill, it is contemplated under
the new plan, committee members
said, to issue adjusted service GER
tificates which, by the addition Of 40
per cent to the proposed adjusted
service pay plus interest on the to-
tai for twenty years at the rate of
Az per cent compounded annually,
would have total face value Of ap-
proximately 3.38 times the amount
that would be received under the
cash feature. An amount equal to
I50 per cent of the total of the ad-
justed service pay could be borrow
ed from a bank Immediately on is
suance of the certificates, with pro-
vision that if the sum thus obtained
lplus interest was not repaid in three
years the bank could make demand
on the federal treasury for the
amount due, the government thus to
take over and carry the loan.

Dispatchers Plan
to Make a Fight
for Their Order
NV Associated Press)

Chicago, March General chair
men of the American Train Dispatch
ers Association, representing train
disptchers on nearly all the railroads
of the United States, gathered here
today for a meeting tomorrow prior
to the wage adjustment hearing that
will be held before the United States
railroad labor board starting March g..
The general chairmen will deter
mine the policy of the association for
the wage hearing, j. c. Luhrsen,
president of the association, said in a
statement today. "They will also de-
termine the policy" he said, Sin re-
lation to decision number 721 of the
labor board which established the
rules and working conditions to gov
ern train dispatchers.
"The transportation act established
by law class of railway employees
as subordinate officials" he said.
Subordinate officials are subject
to the labor board. The officials are
not. Hence a determined struggle
has been waged for nearly two years
on the part of the carriers to remove
the craft of train dispatchers from
the labor sections of the transporta-
ton act. Until comparatively recent
ly train dispatchers as a craft were
not organized and thereby constantly
subject to discrimination and inequal-
tiles of former wage adjustments. The
dispatehers have been struggling to
regain lost ground"

Washington, March "A pro-

senate had ratified without reserva-

democrats present divided, IL for

only three republicans voted in the

Kentucky Youth
Deserts a Wife;
Takes Ma-in-Law
(By Associated Press)

Maysville, Ky,' March 1.-Two di-
vorce suits are pending in the Mason
county circuit court here because Carl
Kellum, 23 years old, and his mother
in law, Mrs. Addie Gallagher, 40, ran
off together, according to the petit
tions filed by Mrs. Ina Gallagher
Kellum, 1S, against her husband, and
John Gallagher, 55, against his wife.
Mrs. Kellum says she was married
two years ago and was very happy
on her husbands farm, four miles
from here. A short time ago, she
alleges, her mother, who lived at
home on an adjoining farm, ran off
with Kellum and never returned.
Gallagher's petition unfolds the
same story.
Kellum and Mrs. Gallagher are liv-
ing together in this county now, the
petitions charge.

LLOYD GEORGE ISSUES
AN U[TIMATUM,, He OR
YOUNGER MUST VACATE
(By Associated Prcssl

London, March 2-Either an early
general election or the resignation of
Prime Minister Lloyd-George will be
the up-shot of the present political
crisis, it is generally believed.
The apparently widening breach in
the Conservative party together with
the consistent gain in strngth of the
liberals under former Premier Asquith
and the Laborites, as evidenced in the
recent by-elections, have forced these
alternatives on the premier.
Premier Issues Ultimatum
Mr., Lloyd-George is understood to
have served notice in his letter to j..
Austen Chamberlain that Sir George
Younger, leader of the Conservative
secessionists who recently attacked
the premier in the house of commons,
must go or he will step down from
office.
Sir George Younger's tactics have
met with disfavor among considera-
BILE section of the party, especially
with Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Chan
cellor Birkenhead, the latter publicly
voicing his disapproval in recent
speech. In this connection, some sig
nifcance is attached to report that
Younger may resign from the house
and be elevated to the peerage.
Meanwhile the government leaders
are giving much time to the problem,
an early meeting of the whole Con-
servative party is expected.

DENLY PLANS COMPLETE
CHANGE IN FORMATION
OF THE NAVAL RESERVE

Washington, March 2.-Complete
of the naval reserve
is proposed in a tentativ ebill pre-
pared by the navy department and
forwarded to officials of the Naval
Reserve association by Secretary
DENLY for comment before it is pre-
sented to congress. Included in the
proposed act is the provision for a
merchant marine reserve section and
for certain merchant ships to fly a
reserve emblem.
The bill would abolish all existing
naval or marine corps reserve and
establish a naval reserve as a "com-
ponent part" fthe navy, consisting
of three classes, the fleet reserve,
the merchant marine naval reserve
and the volunteer naval reserve. A
separate section provides for reor-
ganization of the present marine
corps reserve in conformity with the
new plan. 1t would have two classes
corresponding to the fleet reserve
and the volunteer reserve of the ma
val establishment.
Would Absorb Present System.
All present members of the va
rious classes of naval reservists, both
officers and men, and the naval mi
litia would be brought into the new
system, officers not to be above the
rank of lieutenant commander except
for "a small percentage" in the rank
of commander or captain "for the re-
cruiting, organization administra'
ton, training, inspection and mobil'
ization of the naval reserve" En-
llistments in the reserve would be fol
four years, while officers would hole
their commissions during the pleas
ure of the president"
Reservists of the first two classes
could be ordered to duty by the pres
ident in time of war or nationa
emergency, but in time of peac,
could be called out only with thei
own consent except for prescribed
training. The volunteer reserv
would be liable for war duty only.
Paid While on Duty.
While on active duty, except train
ing, they would receive the pay an
allowances of their rank or grade il
the regular service and $1O0 cloth
ing gratuity would go to each office
when commissioned in the fleet re
serve, with an additional $50 allow
ance for each succeeding four year
of service. In time of war every re
serve officer would receive $3.50 fo
uniforms.
Any officer or enlisted man of tn
reserve injured in line of duty Will
on active training or volunteer serv
ice would be entitled to regular serv
ice benefits.
In peace time the fleet reserv
would be required to give fiftee
days training sSsvice annually, re
ceiving regular pay for that period.
