THREE DRY ARRESTS
MARK new YEAR EVE

Harry NJ. Luckett, chief Of general
prohibition agents for this division
whose men kept a close watch on all
the principal public dining halls in
Washington last night. declared today
that he was "agreeably surprised" that
there had been so little drinking in
the Capital New Year eve. Only three
arrests for drinking were made by his
agents, Chief Luckett said.
An augmented force of agents had
been gathered here in Washington to
keep a strict surveillance over the fes-
tivities of the holiday, Luckett said,
and the men worked hard, watching all
the principal gala parties in public,
and the dining halls, where drinking
might have been suspected.
What we want. however, said
Luckett, 'is to stop this drinking,
not to see how many arrests we can
make: SO we are very well pleased
and satisfied with results. / am told
by some who have been connected
with enforcement of the law in
Washington longer than 1 have been
that last night was one OF the quiet
est New Year ewes, as regards drink
ing, that the Capital has seen In
years personally feel that there
was definite Improvement shown"
Luckett felt sure, he said, that the
warning issued in advance that his
force would be on sharp lookout for

caught had been somewhat OF a help

NEW YORK, January 1-Record
crowds, despite the rapidly falling
temperature, milled about the side
walks Of New York far into the early
hours of New Year day in a carnival
spirit. footing horns and changing
Cowbells, to make their greeting to
the new year audible above the shrill
whistles and the church chimes.
In the theatrical district the mass
of people was kept in some form of
slow motion by 800 extra policemen.
who were nearly overwhelmed when
the theaters poured out their patrons
at the approach of midnight.
Other sections celebrated in a
quieter fashion. In the almost de-
serted financial district the chimes of
old Trinity pealed out patriotic and
sacred songs. On Fifth avenue a
crowd gathered before St Patrick s
Cathedral to hear the chimes.
Prosperity, or a belief in prosperity
colored the celebrations in the hotels
and cabarets, all of which were filled
to overfiowing with jewellers.
Many more, who did not brave the
cold to celebrate in public, listened
in on various radio programs, which
included the services at the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine.
The fire department answered It's
first alarm when the year was but q

ler.
Prohibition endorsements ranks were
greatly reinforced, but only one raid

worth of liquor was seized in a fash

ences in speech between races.
Experiments With Plants.
Dr. John H. Schaffner of Ohio State
University told of controlling the sex
of plants by their surroundings. In
some cases this was done by varying
the amount of food. while in others
the sex was changed by manipulating
the amount of light. Sex is, first of
all, dependent on physiological states,
DR.. Schaffner asserted, is not de-
termined by inherited factors. and is
subject to change through environ
ment.
South America needs not merely a
larger population but a better dis
tribution of what it already has, Dr.
William A. Reid of the PAM American
Union, told the Association of Ameri-
can Geographers. While the continent
as whole is underpopulated, the
housing conditions in some of the
larger cities are as bad as any in
Europe or North America, he declared.
Lack of transportation over vast
areas, and the prevalence of tropical
inertia were also given as hindrances
TO the development of the southern
continent.
Floods in Lower Amazon.
Insects and foods were the two
chief obstacles to the development of
the lower Amazon basin, the area of
which was estimated as three times
that of Texas by DR.. William Haas
of Northwestern University. The flood
waters of the river often rise so feet
above normal, he said. making almost
impossible the cultivation of any
crops except rubber and timber.
An appeal to teachers of botany to
teach their students to plant and pre-
serve native flowers rather than to
collect them. was made by p. l.. Kicker
of the Wild Flower Preservation So
ciety. The practice of collection had
some times resulted in rare plants be-
coming completely extinct over wide
areas, he said.

William II. Gordon of S745 Brandy
wine street successfully outwitted a
prospective hold-up man, roughly
clad, on Albemarle street near Con-
necticut avenue early last night. The
man displayed pistol and started a
hold-up operation. Gordon told the
police, but was frightened OFF when
Gordon turned and headed for Con-

PROHIBITION UNIT
PROBE IS DECREED
Senate Committee Under
Couzens to Begin Inquiry
Within Two Weeks.

Open investig cation of the prohibi-
tion unit, which formed the basis for
heated disagreement between the
administration and the Senate at the
last session, was decided upon yester-
day by the Senate committee under
the craftsmanship of Senator CouZens,
Republican. Michigan.
The decision was reached after the
committee had heard from both it's
own investigators and officials of the
Internal Revenue Bureau and the
Prohibition Enforcement Division. y
definite date for beginning the hear
ings was not fixed, but it probably
will be at a time not more than two
weeks distant.
Meantime the committees special
Investigators. including John S. Pyle,
formerly assistant prohibition direct
or for western Pennsylvania, will con-
tinue their work in gathering facts in
the prohibition division. These will be
laid before the committee at the
hearings and enforcement officials
then will present their side of the
case.
Policy to BE Taken Up.
Under present plans. the committee
will confine the hearings to subjects
of general policy and their effect in
actual operation, without undertaking
a dragnet inquiry of special cases,
such as that, for instance, at Wee
hawken, n. J.
At the conference yesterday be-
tween the committee and Commits
sioner -1air of the Internal Revenue
Bureau and Commissioner Haynes and
other officials of the enforcement sec
ton, Earl l. Davis, counsel for the
committee, presented specific criti-
cisms based upon reports OF investiga-
tors who have been working in the
prohibition unit and Commissioner
Haynes and the others made reply.
Commissioner Haynes told the COM
mittee that much of the criticisms
offered had been justified, but that
conditions leading to them had been
remedied. He promised that the COM
mittee would be given full co-opera-
tion in getting at all the facts as he
said II had been given in the phases
of the inquiry conducted up to this
time.

CHICAGO, January -Four persons
were slain and one probably fatally
shot: only two arrests for drunk en-
ness. packed hotel dining rooms,
oabarets and restaurants into the
small hours of the morning, and
thousands of private house parties
heralded the birth of the new year
here last night. Despite the hilarity
and the reported flow of liquor in
all sections of the city, the police
said there was little disorder The
early morning hours.
The passing of 1924 was mark ed
with the blowing of horns that blared
in wild chorus at IL o'clock. From
windows confetti and streamers
poured forth into the streets.
Prohibition agents reported the
usual distribution of liquors, but
those who drank did so on the quiet
they said. The passing of the liquors
from flask and bottle to mouth was
not SO much in evidence as in years
past
stray Bullets XIII Four.
Stray bullets probably fred by per-
sons joining in the celebration were
declared responsible for the deaths of
four men. A passenger on a sub
urban train was shot and died on
the train. The bullet was fired at
1901 o'clock. Another was shot to
death in his home three minutes later.
A bullet came through win
dow. Two others were found dead
of bullet wounds on the streets, while
one woman was wounded as she sat
in her home, the bullet coming
through a window.
Cover charges in the principal ho-
tells and cabarets ranged from $6 to
SIS. Every chair in each was filed.
Not until dawn did many of the rev.
elers turn homeward.
From the standpoint Of the police

United States to the World Court
For example, the recent determina-
tion of the British and the French
that Cologne shall not be evacuated
because they charge that Germany
has not complied with the disarma-
ment provisions of the Versailles
treaty has not tended to relieve the
situation.
Why, 1t is asked here, should not
the World Court be called upon to
determine whether or not Germany
has complied with these terms of dis
armament? The contention is made
that the World Court is not being
used to deal with the really impor-
tant issues thai are arising.
