 their breaths, also few girls. Most os inc men were promptly released but the gifis were held in charges or incorrigability.
 The they uproar of the "season's seems to derive chiefly from En- rights conviction that his inspectors have not taken with proper serious ness his orders to enforce prohibition. At the time of the repeal or tue ce Mu, En- len Gage state enforcement act, En- right withdrew the thousand or so cops who had been enforcing the vol stead act. but issued two orders, cau- tioning his inspectors to keep the screws down on liquor and vice.. Enright has had some hundreu oe- tectives checking up on the distrlcts, and as a result of their findings, 9S charges, he ineimated, are to be filed against one district inspector.
 But veteran policemen and officials insist that it is not so much Enright dissatisfaction with the work or his subordinates that exploded in this sake-up as the dissatisfaction of Acting Mayor Murray Hubert wish the work of Enright.
 Before Mayor Hylan's illness, En- right had full leeway in the police department, with Hylan's complete complete confidence. But after the sengers, and other criminal episodes. while Hylan was i'll and Hubert In charge, the acting mayor took law enforcement for a time under his own
 supervision, while Enrlght was va cationinG in Bermuda.
 Now it is up to Enright to rehabili- tate himself in Hulbert's eyes or face the spotlight of an investigation himself. officials declare, and the present uPheaval is the result. Enright has instructed that the

WOULD. PUT ENEMY FUNDS T0 EARNING
Alien Property Custodian Sug- gests Returning $180, ,000,-
 900 To Active Enterprise

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Creation If a federal agency to utilize in productive enterprise the enemy funds on deposit in the treasury to the credit of the alien property cus- todian was proposed in the annual re- port of Col. Samuel w. Miller, the custodian, made public today.
 Colonel Miller suggested that two ends would be served by returning the funds to active enterprise--re- viyal of business and commercial relations with the former enemy coun- tries, and the reaping of profits by the federal corporation which could be, If desired. applied to settlement of claims which later might be ad- sion.

 'There is approximately $1S0, ,00o,- 900 of cash on deposit in the United StateA treasury to the credit of the will increase as the liquidation po- Hey is carried out" Colonel Miller said, "It Is suggested that . plan be considered whereby that portion of the remaining alien property rep resented by cash in the treasury may be utilized in reviving trade ana the commercial relations which for mer1y existed between this country and enemy powers.
 Such a governmental agency sim liar to the war finance corporation having a capital of several hundred million dollars would be capable ot earning enough on this sum to not only settle American claims, when they are finally adjudicated, but re- turn in full the porperty or its equivalent to the former enemies when the affairs of the alien prop- erty office are finally terminated, thereby adhersing to the time-honored principle of the non-confiscation of private property to pay public debts, Would Encourage Resumption.
 There are. a number of enemy cor porations whose assets were seized and 1iquidated by this office which would thereby be encouraged to re- sume business in this country, and 1t might be that such a plan should be limited to those corporations of individuals whose capitals has been sequestrated by the custodian and whose consent should berpbtained be fore their capital Is utilized in such scheme. This plan would not only benefit the citizens of this country but would aid in the resumption of business and commercial relations with Europe which were terminated hy the war and which will some day have to be resumed, If . return to the normal friendly relations existing before the war is to bs brought about"

CONVENTION CITY
 TO BE SELECTED
(Continued From Page one.)

A AVih deC OnCsb by George F. Brennan. Illinois na- tional committeeman: Edward N. Hurley, former chairman of the ship ping board. and Fred W. Upham, re- publican national treasurer. Chi cagos offer of s125,o00 for the re- publican convention which failed to win. is to be duplicated for the demo- cratic meeting, the Chicago spokes- man said.
 New York Big Bidder.
 A large offer is understood to be planned in behalf of New York. The size of the financial inducements, leaders of the national committee conceded, will be a potent factor in the committees action in view of it's long standing deficit, now reduced to about $1S0.000. Ways and means to meet the deficit and also provide a pre-convention campaign fund are among the important matters to be considered.
 Chairman Hull of the committed hopes to conclude all business on Tuesday by holding several sessions. Among the questions which may come up is the agitation for a change in the two-thirds rule of democratic conventions. Many lead CTS favor nomination by majority vote instead of the present two- thirds requirements.
 Friends of MT. McAdoo have been credited with being behind a plan to bring the two-thirds rule before the committee. Daniel c. Roper, former internal revenue commissioner and a prominent McAdoo worker, however, has disclaimed any plan to have the rule changed for the 1924 conven- tion. The national committee, how ever. may be urged to recommend substitution of a majority for the two-thirds rule. for the consideration of the 1924 convention in fixing the rules for nomination in the 1926 and subsequent conventions.
 A meeting of the women commit tee members will be held tomorrow as a preliminary to the full commit tee meeting on Tuesday. Women this year will have an equal voice in the party for the first time.

 census of opinion among the more intelligent film critics, better class of pictures was produced than ever before. Actual statistics from boX offices are not available, but a re- liable indication is secured from theatre owners and opinions or first rank critics. popular picture of 1923 was "The Covered Wagon" both from an ar tistic standpoint and from the box of- flee angle. The picture led in vote of leading cities 53 to 26.
 The next ranking pictures of the year. according to this vote, we're;
 Merry Go Round"
 "Hunchback of Notre Dame"
 Green Goddess"
 "Scaramouche."
 Little Old New York"
 Robin Hood"
 "Rosita."

 "The Covered Wagon, has been out only about six months, while "Scara- mouche" has been shown practically no place except New York and Chi- cago. It makes its premiere here this week.
 The 10 best pictures are selected, with probably more emphasis upon popularity with the public than upon their inherent artistic merit. The Woman of Paris" while not one of the pest sellers, is one of the most notable films of the year. New technical treatment, subtle charac- terization and suggestion and gen eral distinguished handling, make It a leader as far as art Is concerned.
 "The Merry o-Round" also marks departure, for it portrays foreign atmosphere and characters as no other film has done. r
