GRADED RUM ROW LIMIT
speedy Boats Can Be Searched Nearer
 Shore Than Slow Ones

Rum Row." as it has existed alone the Atlantic coast in the vicinity of New York, IS about to be dislodged and to be forced considerably further out to sea, If not entirely eliminated. The senate last week ratified overwhelming. ly-ol to 7-the treaty negotiated by the administration with Great Britain which will permit visit and search of vessels flying the British flag and sus. pected of violating our prohibition laws within such distance of the United States coast as may be traversed by the suspected vessel in one hour. IL remains only for the British to ratify- as they are expected to do promptly and for notifications to be exchanged at Washington to put the treaty into full force and effect.
 Originally it was proposed to allow visit and search to be made within IF miles of the coast But under the terms of the treaty the radius will de. pend upon the speed of the vessel which may be searched, For example ship that can make only ten knots an hour may be searched only within q distance of ten knots of the coast. On the other hand, a vessel that can make 20 knots may be searched within 20 knots of the coast
 These variations in the distance un. der which visit and search may be made, and the difficulty of declaring just how far vessel may be at a given time from the American coast, appear to promise not few controversies when the visiting gets under way by the coast guard vessels
 Much will depend upon the attitude taken by the British government if

FIRED AT OWN SHADOW
Absurd Accidents Often Lead To Grim
 inalS' UndOing


 Criminals have almost invariable a sense of humor that proves their hu- manity. These especially relish laugh when it is on themselves, writes George $. Dougherty, in the Saturday Evening Post.
 A rope ladder thief had successfully finished one of his difficult jobs. Fas- a twenty, he had to make five twenties roof. he had to climb down to a window below, force an entrance, climb up with his loot and make his getaway.
 Coming out of the door he saw his own shadow in the yard and was so nervous that he fired at it, thereby bringing about his arest. A mishap of that kind will cause great mirth in criminal circles.
 A pickpocket worked all summer with. out an accident. Every week he sent a good proportion of his money home to his sister and mother. Coming here himself, after warm greetings, he wanted to know what had been done with the money.
 "Well, Jim, I'll tell you," said the sis ter, little hesitating You're in such dangerous business that we often feel worried about you, so we gave the money to buy stained glass window in the church"
 After his arrest, skiflful counter feiter told me how his undoing came about. He had been a sign painter and was decidedly artistic and skillful. Com ing to New York he took a downtown office, and used it as a workshop fer painting imitation bank notes. He said that though it took no more time or work to initiate $100 bill than tewtny, he had to make five tewenties to get change for $1O0 because the $20-dOllar bills were more easily passed
 It was $100 counterfeit that led to his downfall. Finishing it late one aft. ernoon, he started for home, but stopped in lower West Side saloon to buy 8 drink and bottle of whisky. Laying his $100 imitation bank note on the bar. it came in contact with q little spilled whisky and the colors ran, lead ing to his arrest.

JAPANESE HAVE
 CASE OF NERVES
 AFTER BIG QUAKE
Half Of Victims In Last Tragedy Died From
 Fright

TOXIC. April GA large propor- fion of the citizens of TOkio are suf- fering from a bad case of earthquake complex, which is no marvel when one realizes how their city has been treat ed by Mother Earth in the last six months.
 Consider the casualty reports for the earthquake of January 15, minor shock as compared with the great one of September 1, but still strong enough to produce a profound and disheart- ening impression on the oyerwrought merves of TOkio residents. Less than ten persons died in Tokio in this small Ter quake, but about half the deaths were due to efforts to escape rather than to the quake itself A student Bumped from a high window and was killed.
 One man, dashing from his house at the first shock, ran in front of q moving tramcar and died. A mother, crazed by fright, choked her infant to death. Two reports of death gave the cause as fright. There were few minor injuries to foreign residents, all but one or two due to jumps from win ldows or collisions in the dark.
 The general nervousness which these Incidents illustrate contributes almost as much to the discomfort of life in Tokio as the physical results of the great earthquake. In it's present mood Tokio has no love or admiration for Raphael Bendand, the Italian sculptor seismologist. The papers have devoted much space to Bendanti's predictions, also to those of the native seismologists. They say that it is bad enough to ex- perience the quakes without having to read about them in advance.
 Japanese seismologists are working bard with the wealth of material at their disposal, trying to discover some trustworthy basis for forecasting quakes. Many of them have gone to Mount Tanzawa, one of the Hakone range southwest of Tokio believed to have been the center of the January 15 temblor, to Htudy the data nature of fers them there. Woodmen living on the slopes of this mountain tell weird 2 tales of terrific rumblings and explos- ions heard in the interior of the noun tain on September 1 and January 15.
 One of the most eminent of these scientists, after lengthy study, predicts that eastern Japan will suffer at least four more shocks in 1924 as severe as that of January 15. Another, equally eminent, says there will be no more severe shocks for some years. Tokio believes neither one nor the other, but hopes for the best and tries not to ex- pect the worot
 Incidentally the Imperial university seismographs registered 40 quakes dur ing the last two weeks of January.

Weed Seeds In rouble
 With Science On TraiL
Simple Process Discovered To Separate Them
 From Clover And Other Seed

The unhappy princess, caught by the
 ogren and sentenced to some heart breaking task of winnowing out grain, and counting the seeds, usually was saved by the opportune arrival of some friendly gnome-who worked a little magic and the deed was done. Today she might be saved by science-by a process which also seems magical. For science can now separate good seeds from weed seeds.
 The first experiments, which have been highly successful, have been with clover seeds. Farmers have been caused endless loss and annoyance by the presence of "dodder," or weed seeds, in clover. When he bought bushel of clover seed. the farmer was usually pre- pared to find half of it dodder; and as the seeds are exactly alike in size. color and shape, there was no way of separating them. No seive or winnowing process could be devised. But now all

FOR OLYMPIC STARS
Every Convenience Being Provided For
 Athletes At COIOmbeS

Already the Olympic village IS rising from the soil of ColOmbes, village of wooden chalets, to accommodate 5OO athletes, with it's entrance on the Boulevard Vadmy. Within the village precincts every kind of convenience is being provided, says the Continental Edition of the London Mail.
 The men will have a wireless install lation, so that they may hear concerts which are broadcast; restaurant where they may partake of their ma tional dishes, reading room, rest room post office with telegraph and tele- phone services, and fully equipped bath house. The Americans have re- served 100 beds in the village, and have established their training headquarters at RoQuencourt, between Versailles and Saint Germain. Thirteen countries have announced their intention of talk ing part in the Olympiad, and six more are expected to come in, these latter including Rumania. Ireland, Chile and Spain. Britain and Switzerland have each reserved cottage for inquiry of fices. All the work of the village will be done by men. Meantime the Olym. pic housing office has begun work, anG has already five thousand rooms at its disposal for strangers

ISMILN' THROUGH
 ALL THIS WEEK
Better Than Blossom Time Is Description Of
 Popular Play

At last Birmingham will have m opportunity to see the famous stage play, ''Smilin Through as the all-star Jefferson Players open a weeks en- gagement of the famous play Monday night at the Jefferson theatre.
 It is one of the greatest of dramas, blended with scenes that are the most picturesque and human, bringing back memories alike to old and young, call ing for tear one moment, laugh the next; story that sends one out of the theatre rejuvenated, with happy thoughts and glad to be alive.
 It is play for all classes, as we'll as all ages. The scenic splendor and lighting effects are most unusual and the costuming rich and gorgeous. It was made into motion picture with Norma Talmadge, but the picture could not do justice to the story, which de- mands the human voice, live moving figures, the fragrance of the flowers and the reality that goes to make the stage play.
 "Smilin' Through will be here only one week. with matinees on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday.

the farmer has to do is to plug his new separator into an electric light socket and draw off the weed seeds.
 The process is simple. There is just one difference between weed seeds and clover seeds. The former are sticky The difference was all the scientists had to work on in attacking the prob lem, but it was enough. The first step was to moisten the seeds and then stir in a quantity of small iron par ticles. The wet clover seeds remain smooth and slippery, but the sticky weed seeds gather up the iron particles The farmer plugs in his socket and the current makes an electric field over the container The weed seeds are drawn to the magnets, while the clover seeds move on, freed from their evil com panions.
 Researches have been made the re- suits of which promise widespread use of the device in freeing alfalfa ana other legumes from weed seeds

BRITISH STATESMEN IN FICTION Only The Censor Has Prevented Many
 From Figuring In Books

The complaints that Mir. Shaw has in- troduced into Back to Methuselah" two eminent politicians of the day will add to the list of British statesmen who have suffered from such attentions. The list would have been longer but for the restrictions imposed by the censorship, though the actual working of those re- strictions has been rather spasmodic, says the Manchester Guardian.
 Thus in the case of "The Happy Land," in 1873, it is possible that the lord chamberlain interfered little too late for the government of the day. Lady Waldegrave, a good judge in such matters, always maintained that '"The Happy Land" contributed considerably to the downfall of Gladstone, even though the dance arranged for him, the unpopular Lowe, and the much nor, unpopular Ayrton, together with the ac-

POLITICAL STRAINS

DETROIT, April GA dead politi. cal calm has settled over Michigan, the sails of candidates in Mondays presi- dential primary Tapping languidly for lack of even the faintest breeze of an Issue or an interest.
 E For the democrats the primary i... bereft of the slightest enthusiasm; it is merely matter of expressing per ference for one of two Michigan men Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris and Henry Ford! Neither candidate sought the nomination and neither has made any effort to win.
 For the republicans there has been, the mildly mysterious incident of "Zil-. waukee Hiram" Johnson, Sagisnaw county fisherman and dog trainer, whose name was certified as can didate, but promptly removed from the ballot at his request.
 There has been no campaigning for Calvin Coolidge, whose name with that of Senator Johnson and William G. Simpson, Detroit civil engineer, is on the republican ballot.
 CHICAGO, April 6.--Sharply drawn isues, both state ,and national in the primary campaigns have, aroused an in- terest among Illinois voters that is expected to bring the largest vote tabulation Illinois has ever known at the election Tuesday.
 The fight between Senator Hiram Johnson and President Coolidge for delegates to the Republican conven- ton will be brought to head in the middle west in the Illinois primary and with the voting day close both camps are expressing confidence of vic tory.
 Even more sharp in their clashes have. been the campaigns of State Sem ator Thurlow c. Essington and Gov. Len Small for the republican guberna- torial nomination, Essington passing his campaign almost entirely upon the rec ord of Governor Small, who, in turn, has defended his official acts.

LONDON, April 6.-The fact that Ramsay Macdonald has become a mem Der of the Athenaeum club leaves only two prime ministers out of the club roll since it was founded hundred years ago. They were Gladstone and Bonar Law.
 Gladstone refused on two occasions to allow his name to be put forward, but it was not known until after his death that this action was taken because his great political rival, Disraeli, was the leading light of the club at that time.

there is to be harmonious administra- ton under the terms of the treaty. But the fact that Great Britain is willing to enter into such an agreement is re- garded here as an evidence of her good faith in seeking to aid the United States in preventing violations of American laws by vessels flying the British flag. The foremost maritime nation in the world having entered into such a pact, it is to be expected that similar treaties will be made without much delay with other nations.
