BALTIMORE. Md. June s.-United
States Attorney Amos w. w. Wood
cock said that he had practically
completed an investigation Of the al
legged substitution Of federal prison
ers at Upper Marlboro and would lay
the matter before the United States
grand Jury at their meeting next Thurs
day. Mr.. Woodcocfe said he felt conf
dent that he had enough evidence to in
dict under two federal statutes, one
conspiring to obstruct Justice and
the other one aiding in the escape of
federal prisoners.
Just who would be- indicted, or
how many, Mr.. woodcock refused to
state, saying it would not be fair to
make any such statement before
action by the grand jury. Mr.. Wood
cock further stated that this Is the
result of reports reaching Washing
ton that this practice in prohibition
violation cases was general through
out the United States, but that this
was the first caseein which they have
further stated that the alleged sub
stitution of prisoners in his opinion
at Marlboro was due to q peculiar
fact in that neither the sheriff nor
the deputy lived at Marlboro, and
that the real jailer was. a negro
woman. He further stated that pris-
oners are brought there, locked in
a horse in a stable, without any
guard.
He stated also that any action to
he taken against any officials who
might be guilty Of the charge would
rave to come from the governor

$1,000 Visit White House.
Although reports indicate that
many thousand Shriners and other
visitors left the city early today. this
fact was not noticeable in the size
of the crowds that thronged tn"
White House grounds and who
visited the rooms Of the first floor

lowing the Presidents order throw
ing open the doors of the White

Every means possible should be

University of Minnesota, made public
today
Prof. Lambie is secretary of the

which will hold its annual conven-
tfon at Faribault on June 20 and 81.
The letter complimented the league
on its choice of taxation as princi-
pal topic at it's convention.
There is no more important duty
confronting public officials every

tent, with good administration

most onerous charge against the
national incOme: it bears heavily
upon every kind of business and pro-
duction."
Continuing, the President wrote:
within the past few days the
census bureau, at my request, has
furnished some figures which seem
to me to impress as nothing else
could the necessity for the most care
ful administration in every govern
mental unit. They state, for exam
pie, that revenues from all sources
of. the state governments in 1918 ag-
gregated S36S.00O,000 and, in 1921.
$959, 100000, an increase of 16l per
cent. Expenditures arose from $685.
100000 in 1913 to S1.005, 100000 in
1921, an increase of 1853 per cent. In
debtedness increased from S423,000, ,00e
in 1913 to 100000 in 1921, an
increase of 139 per cent.
Rising Costs Of Government.
''These figures hardly require COM
ment because they demonstrate SO
concIusiyely. 1t seems to me. that
costs of state government are rising
at rate which at least justifies the
most serious consideration.
Along with the foregoing data re-
garding cost of state governments
lhe census bureau mas turnlSned some
figures on the increase in cost OF
city governments. These figures are
based on the returns of the govern
ment in 227 of the largest cities In
the country. II is shown that for
cities in this group revenues in 1913
amounted to SS9e, 200. .000 and, in 1921
$l.56 100000, an increase of 76 per

BERLIN NOT OPTIMISTIC.
Germans Believe France Has
Blocked Effort.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. June s.-Reichstag lead
ers believe the note delivered at the
allied capitals yesterday marks an ad-
vance over the German government s
especially since it more firmly stresses
the reich's good will and readiness to
arrive at a solution of the problem.
and also because the subject of guar
antees is given concrete form.
Despite this, parliamentary circles
optim ism concerning the reception of
the memorandum by the creditor
powers. In these quarters it is be-
Iieyed that France has effectually
blocked any attempt by England to
create a favorable atmosphere for
early negotiations by seeking to in
fuence Belgium and Italy.
Adopt Industrials' Suggestion.
In pledging the federal railways as
the chief guarantee, the German gov
ernment had adopted one of the prin-
cipal suggestions contained in the
recent memorandum drawn up by the
lndustrialists' Federation. While the
note does not specifically state that
the national system of railways and
all the physical property connected
with 1t are to be placed in the custody
of trustees and conducted wholly as
a private enterprise. the industrialists
understand that this would be the
governments procedure, and that the
lines would be hypothecated for the
capital sum of 1e.o0o.0oo.o0o gold
marks. The mortgage bonds would
yield S per cent, netting an annual
return of 500,000,000 gold marks.
Assistance Is Pledged.
In connection with the second guar
antee the German government is con-
f1dent that with the application OF
rigid legislative pressure sum con-
siderably in excess of 6O0,000.000 gold
marks could be procured by the first
mortgage on real estate. For iInme-
diate seizure the government has at
it's disposal only the physical prop
critics of the industrialists, the ship
ping and banking interests and the
have given Chancellor Cuno un-
euuiyocal assurance of their material
assistance. However, 1t is confidently
believed that the total to be realized
from this wholesale mortgage could
be materially increased by the yield
from city and private real estate,
which would be hypothecated on O.
favorable basis. 1T
Tobacco Monopoly Abandohea.
Early plans for the creation of a
tobacco monopoly were abandoned
as unfeasible because of the amount
of fluid capital required to hQuidate
private industry. and also in vie
of the experience of national mo-
nopolies in other countries where
exclusive government control has in
va ariably resulted In inferior prodmc-
ton. The government now proposes
to levy heavy excise tax on all
forms of tobacco and will also force
customs revenues from commodities

By the Associated Press.
ROME, June S.-The newspaper
Messaggero says that the new pro-
posals of Chancellor Cuno are still
far from realizing what is necessary
for possible understanding with the
allies, even taking as a basis their
most moderate claims. as set forth
in the memorandum Premier Musso-
lini presented at London. The only
noticeable improvement, continues
the newspaper, is that in the new
note Germany no longer asks the
evacuation of the Rufr.
Il Paese thinks the memorand u m
aims to accentuate the different
points of view held by France, Eng
land and Italy with the object OF in
creasing the dissentions between
