PHILADELPHIA, April The
largest seizure Of liquor since Gov
ernor Pinchot ordered the state po-
lice to take part in the enforcement
OF prohibition and since the appoint
ment Of Frederick A. Hezeltine -
chief enforcement director Of Thu
district, was made early today when
agents seized IL motor trucks load
ed with beer and 400 gallon Of
whiskey in touring car.
The seizure took place after
pistol fight between state troopers
and bootleggers along the Red Lion
road, Bensalem pike, at Morrisvills,
near the Pennsylvania end Of tho
Delaware river bridge to Trenton.
Twenty-Five prisoners were taken
and held under the guard until six
o'clock in an airplane field. They
were brought to the federal building
in this city this afternoon, and after
an examination were taken to po-
lice station for hearing by a Unit
ed States commissioner.
When the troopers, in an automo-
bile, sighted the motor train bearing
the liquor, their command to ths
drivers of the trucks was responded
to by pistol shots and bullets whix-a
zed By the TROOPERS heads.
They returned the fire, and as they
drove alongside the touring car
which led the caravan were recog-
nized as state police by the alleged
bootleggers, who threw up their
hands when the booze train came
to halt. According to Lieutenant
Boyle Of the state police, several Of
the men offered him bribes, which
Of bills, he said containing $4,000 in
for 1000 and one Of the drivers
he accepted. One handed him a roll
500 bills; another produced a check
gave him $1,000.

for the conference and anniversary
celebration to be held in Seneca
Falls. n. Y, July 90 to %. A COM
mittee of the Rochester Chamber of

1T is our determination to secure
for American women the rights which
were demanded for them at the Sem
eca Falls convention of 1S48 by the
pioneers of women's freedom" said
Miss Paul before her departure. I'VE
believe that these rights should be a
part of the Constitution of this coun-
try. 1t is for this reason that at the
conference we will propose an amend
ment giving equal rights to men and
women, and upon its adoption will
Immediately begin a nationwide po-

SCHOOL ESTIMATES
TO COME UP SOON
Items TotaIing $1,000, 900
Will Be Discussed by Com
: miSSionerS and Board.

Members of the board of education
and the District Commissioners Will
confer within a few weeks on various
items in the estimates for operation
of the public school system for next
year. The date of the conference has
not been fixed
Latest information is to the effect
that the school estimates aggregate
more than $11,000,000. Early reports
placed the total much lower, but. 1t is
und derstood, the board has asked be-
tween $4,O0O.OOO and s5,0oo,o00 for
new buildings and grounds, which
helped raise the total.
1t is regarded as likely that the
original figures of the school board
Will be trimmed TO some extent be-
fore they reach Congress.
Figures Are Reduced.
Although the Commissioners are
fully cognizant of the many needs Of
the educational system, they have
found it necessary to reduce the
boards figures in the past In order to
distribute the total allotment of the
budget bureau fairly among all mu-
nicipal activities.
While giving due consideration to
the necessity for additional schools
and grounds. the city heads also must
remember the needs of the engineer
department for sewers, streets and
water mains. They must listen to the
pleas of the police and fire chiefs for
more men and equipment.
The school budget. it is reported.
contains request for money to begin
work on the proposed new Mckinley
and Business High schools. as we'll as
additional junior high school facili-
ties and new grade schools.
With the opening of new buildings
the school maintenance figures also

son for the higher estimates for next
