BUT FEW DESERTERS
Most of Those Accused in This State.
 Really Saw Service

Hartford, Nov 1o.-The list of so- called deserters in Connecticut is be- ing cleaned up by the federal au- thorities 50 names on the list being dismissed at this term of the U. S. District courst by Judge Edwin s, Thomas. After the close of the world war there were reported something like 2,000 deserters in this state under definition of the selective service act. This list was revised down to about HOO names at the close of the three year period in which to proceed against them, and HOO informations against those individuals were filled in the federal court in order to keep the cases alive, and the department of justice was given the list for investiga- ton. It has necessarily proceeded rather slowly but investigation indi- cates that the great majority of the actions will be dropped. Of those dismissed it was found they were not deserters but had served in some other branch of service than that for which they were drafted.

Philadelphia. Nov. lo.-Whethcr the governments seizure of brewerics, in view Of decision of Federal Judge McKeehan holding it illegal for pro- hibition agents to seize entire plants Of brewing companies on search war rants. would be continued was not definitely known today.
 The decision. handed down shortly after federal agents under E. c. Yel- lowly, chief of the general prohibition field agents. had started campaign to close all breweries alleged to be violating the law by seizing fourteen plants in this and other eastern Penn- sylyania cities, held that search warrant authorized prohibition agents to seize only intoxicating liquors and the appurtances used in its manufac- ture and not the buildings, at the same time Judge McKeehan warned the enforcement authorities to "nse some discretion and judgment" in the execution of such warrants.
 The decision was in the ease Of Inc Mellctt and Nichter Brewing Co. Inc, of pottyille. Pa, which was seized on September lS by federal prohibition agents.

CANNOT FIXFA
 RATES FOR COAL
No Way to Get at Figures,
 Commission Says

Washington. Nov 10.-There IS no easy and simple standard to h" set nm for determining the profit levels, lust or unjust. ot the anthracite 'hih- ing industry, the United States coal commission said today in one Of is final reports to he made public. Noj only do the actual margins taken hy the operators vary tremendously. the report says, but there are also differ cnces in the value of investment per ton of coal produced which makr 1t nearly impossible to say that the an nual return to capital is fair or uh- fair.
 In 1921, the commission said Tn re- counting its difficulties, it found three anthracite producing organiza- tions which received more than Sl.50 per ton margin over the cost of coal produced. At the same time there were eight anthracite producing com ranies which actually lost more than sl.5o per ton of coal produced. The three companies which made the high margin mined 7.6 per cent of all the anthracite produced in 1921.
 
 produced one per cent Of the years output.
 The average margin of earnings above operating eNpenses, for all an- thracit, producers that year was Sl.19 per ton. the commission cal culatrd pointing out. however. that margin did not represent profit, since taxes. overhead, depletion and other charges had to como out ot the mar i sin
 'The margins to. tho high profit companies ar. clearly larger than is Hrccssavs 10 return an income on the avrrag" iD1pytmrut." the commission observed "but tine ,tlcct of any cut tp tht wn"-1u must bn gaugcd not cnly with rasl",t to The average operator, or lo th, high profit oprr- ator, but also with respect 10 the low cost operators"
 Present margins ln anthracite arc much larger than pre-war figures, the commission concluded. even though labor costs and supplies used in pro- auction hare risen sharply The com mission declared that if would not at- "Apl to lay doNn Tor Itself rules to govern valuation Of capital invest mcnt in the induslry and consequently could not make definite findings as io ihr profit returns.

Cincinnati, Nov. 10.-Official repre- sentatives from half a dozen nations were in Cincinnati today to take part in ceremonies. attending the unveilins of monument erected here by the American Legion in honor of its late national commander, Colonel Freder- ick w. Galbraith, who was killed in an automobile accident near Indiana polls
 The dedication was coupled with the celebration of Armistice Day as d fitting tribute to Colonel Galbraith, a Cincinnatian who gained for himself an enyiable record in the world war.
 Michael Aaronson, to whom fell the honor of pulling the cord that un- yelled the memorial, could not behold the beauty of the marble and bronze monument erected on the hilltop in Eden Park, where it commands view of the Ohio river and the Kentucky hills. Aaronson was blinded by hign explosive shell when serving as ser- geant major under Colonel Galbraith, in the battle of the Argonne.

BOOTLEGGERS MEET
 IN GOVT. BUILDING
Washington Police Ask Treasury
 Department to Act
----

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The Wash ington police today asked the treas ury department 10 break up the gathering of bootleggers in an all night lunchioom in a government building in Pennsylvania avenue, one Elock from the office of Secretary Mellon and two blocks from the White House. The building is leased to the restaurant by the treasury.
 w c. Platt, chief clerk of the treasury, has written the proprietors of the restaurant that this depart ment cannot afford to be even under the suspicion of permitting a busi- ness to be carried on in one of its buildings where an order can be placed over telephone in that build ing." He asked that the illicit ven- dors be denied the use of telephones and that other measures be taken to break up the practice. The restau- rant proprietors, asserting they were not involved in any of the charges, and knew nothing of law violations, replied that enforcement work should not be shouldered on them.
 Several weeks ago an automobilist parked his machine near the build ing in question, and returning ten minutes later discovered six bottles of whiskey there. It was found then that the bootleggors were using auto mobiles of persons who had gone to nearby theaters as temporary caches for their goods.
 Police and officials of the prohibi- ton bureau, which is under treasury supervision, have been at odds for several months in enforcement work. This friction recently eliminated in a series of charges and counter charges of irregularities committed by federal agents and policemen. Two agents arc now under suspension, and the police board has just completed trial of four officers who were ac- quilted.
 Armed with 9S each warrants, the police today began a series of raids on bootlegging establishments Retail dealers received major attention. Twenty-three arrests were made in the first phase of the offensive.
