MALONE. n. Y, December IA
Baked by the knowledge that fed

been reinforced along the northwest

fulfill contracts to deliver Christmas
liquor and beer to the big cities down
state, have boldly. resorted to at
tempted bribery of enforcement Off

1t became known today. on unques-
toned authority, that virtually every
member of the state troopers along
the northern patrol had been ap-
preached with tempting offers OF
money by bootleggers or their
agents. The troop, known as the
BLACK Horse Troopers" the fear of
every bootlegger. comprises fifty
eight members. The troopers report
ed the offers to their commanding
officers, and steps were taken to keep
a special watch for the men who
made the offers. These men had
previously been catalogued. together
with several hundred known run

The Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice, who are on the friendliest terms
with the state troopers, are said to
be keeping an unusually vigilant
watch for the smugglers The Can

with the American officials and tin

NEW COURT PLAN
HELD SENATE TASK
Lodge Opposes Coolidge and
Hughes VieW-Must Of
fer Substitute.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The next step in the controversy
over the world court is the submis-
sion by the United States Senate OF
an alternative plan. which can be
transmitted to the other govern
ments of the world to determine
whether they would approve it.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodges an
nouncement that he will not vote
for American adherence to the pres
ent court because Of its relationship
TO the league of nations does not
come as a surprise to President Cool
idge, who was aware of Mr.. Lodges
attitude before the first presidential
message to Congress was made pub
lie
Mr.. Coolidge told Senator Lodge that
he would not oppose any effort to set
up world court separated from the
league of nations and IL the other
governments of the world would do
likewise. the United States would
have helped toward the foundation of
court acceptable to all. But the
President doubted whether the other
nations would agree. He feels that
the present world court plan is the
only one on which the nations OF the
world have ever agreed and rather
than have no court at all. he prefers
the one already established.
Same Old Dispute.
It's the same old dispute over the"
league Of nations and "a" league of
nations. Mr.. Lodge originally an
nounced that he wanted to see a
league or association of nations es-
tablished, but not the league Gre
ated by Mr.. Wilson, even though
forty nations had given their sup
port to it. The campaign of 1920 was
waged on republican platform
which pledged the party to the idea
alternative was looked upon by
many voters as satisfactory, but
when the Versailles covenant of the
league finally was defeated in the
Senate no alternative proposal was
sponsored by the republican ma
The controversy over the world
court starts the same way. Mr..
Lodge is against the" world court,
but favors "a" world court. MT;
"the" court is the only practicable
plan. but they are open-minded
about substitute. The burden of
action, however. now falls on the
Senate. Mr. Lodge mas Sal0 tnat ne
does not know whether the present
world court can be divorced from the
league of nations. He does not in
dicate whether he will support it if
the other nations of the world de-
cline to accept the counter proposal
of the United States Senate. But the
President and Secretary of State
would like to have any counter pro-
posal, SO that they could promptly
ascertain the viewpoint of the other
governments of the world.
