Dry League Urges
1S-Mile Sea Limit
Sec'y Hughes Proposes Recip'
rocal Search Pact With
Great Britain.

The Anti-Saloon League is work
ing to have the jurisdictional limits
OF the United States extended to
eighteen miles out at sea instead OF
the three miles at present. It was
announced yesterday by Wayne b.
Wheeler. chief counsel for the
league.
Wheeler claims that the present
three-mile limit is ineffective in
prohibiting liquor smuggling and
that there is ample authority and
precedent in international law for
establishing ~protective"-not "ex-
elusive" - Jurisdiction within the
eighteen-mile limit. He quotes a
Supreme Court opinion. which. he
stated. backs up this assertion.
In connection with the leagues
activities Senator Sterling has in
troduced a measure for Senate con-
sideration extending the limit TO
eighteen miles. and. at the same
time. Secretary Hughes is proposing
to Great Britain that a treaty be
negotiated whereby either govern
ment may be accorded the right OF
search within limited zones when
ever there are reasonable grounds
for suspicion of contraband carev-
especially alcoholic beverages in the
case of the United States and arms
for Ireland in the case of Great
britain. ii was understood.

PLAN new SYSTEM
FOR MANAGEMENT
OF DC. CHARITIES
Guar dians Co. Operate
With Social Workers to
Remedy Condition.

Realizing the necessity of reorgan-
ization of District charity agencies,
several members of the Board Of Chill
dren's Guardians are cooperating with
social workers In the study of plans
for new legislation designed to simpli-
fy charity administration by abolish
ing numerous boards and placing re-
sponsibility in department of public
welfare. u was learned yesterday.
Representatives from the Congress
Of Mothers. a prominent hrm Of at
torneys anc two members of the
Board of Guardians. 1t Is reported
have undertaken to draw up a solu-
ton for what is regarded as a clum-
sily-organized charities system. Ac-
cording to information gathered yes
terday. 1t Is planned not to interfere
directly with the settlement of the
Industrial Home School controversy.
but to confine efforts to the general
problem.
Three Senators Volunteer.
Three Senator's have offered their
services in presenting to Congress the
need for reorganization, 1t is said.
Senators King. Stanley. Ball and
smoot are known to be particularly
interested in the problem of child care
as it confronts the District
1t is known that those who are
interested in perfecting child-car-
ing agencies are of the opinion
that this work has been hindered
by the system of board control.
Practically every agency and in
stitution handling charity cases In
the District. it is pointed out, Is
controlled by a board. the mem
bers of which are not directly con-
nected with the work. In many
instances, II Is said, the board
members are men and women who
are socially prominent. or are en-
gagged in business. but who have
little time to devote to the actual
problems confronted by their paid
agents
Public welfare Department.
For this reason. it is argued. con-
troll of charity agencies should be
entrusted only to people who are
held directly responsible for their
efficient administration. A depart
ment of public welfare. controlled
by the Juvenile Court or District
Commissioners, is regarded as the
most probable solution.
Committees representing the
Board of Guardians and trustees
of the Industrial Home School met
yesterday and discussed plans for
continuing use of the school. While
no announcement was made as to
the outcome. members expressed
satisfaction and predicted that an
agreement would be reached which
will be acceptable to both boards.
