GOLD DIGGER
By International News Service

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-SeparatiEg a
man from his money by the process
used by the gold diggers" in d.
vorce and alimony suits is one of
the greatest evils of our time and
should be remedied, Harry Edward
Freund, director of the American
Research Foundation, said In an
address here.
"A great number Of women are
emancipating themselves and be-
coming Independent by joining the
ranks of paid workers, but there
are many who have adopted the
principle Of marrying man, leav-
ing him after a few months, OBJ
tanning alimony in the courts and
living easily for the remainder OF
their lives" said Mr.. Freund.
Various plans have recently
been advanced to remedy this evil.
These range from the radical the
DRY in Glen B. Winship's novel,
'Volonor,' where he would use
so per cent tax to support the wom-
en- and children of the nation, to

During the recent storms off the
Atlantic coast Dutch vessel,
loaded with q cargo of champagne
and liquor, was driven into New
York harbor after cruising off Long
Island on old Rum Row.
Prohibition authorities seized the
craft and its valuable cargo, but the
Federal court held that the cham
payne could not be charged with at
tempt to fraudulently enter. the
United States, nor was it subject to
seizure.
Members of the crew of the ship
were acquitted OF conspiracy to
violate the prohibition laws. Ac-
cordfngly, the craft, after necessary
repairs, will be escorted safely to
sea by Coast Guard cutters.
Although the Government is vir-
tually at war with the rum runners
several of which are yet lying off
the eastern coast. the Coast Guard
is observing an unwritten law that
these ships are entitled to protec-
ton in gales the same as other
craft.
Instructions issued today provided
that rum ships driven into Amer
lean harbors shall be accorded Gov
eminent protection.
What was left of Rum Row off
the North Eastern Coast IL said
to have been scattered by the
storms of<the last few weeks. One
1erelict schooner. loaded n with
foreign liquor, has been reported
to the Coast Guard adrift off the
New England Coast
Coast Guard cutters have been
detailed to sink this dereIict, with.
her cargo, as a menace to naviga-
ton. The crew is believed to have
escaped in small boats.

Reed, Of Pa, Pessimistic
With the President formally re-
quested to intervene, administration
leaders were reported more friendly
toward legislation which would give
the executive some power of settling
labor disputes. Without some such
power. they maintained, the execu-
tive can not be expected to inter-
Vene.

strike will be settled" said Senator
Reed (R) of Pennsylvania, explain
ing this attitude. 'tBut l don't be-
lieve settlement was accelerated

While the President has refrained
carefully from committing himself
40 to whether he will accede to the
Senate's request, the impression pre-
walls that he will not act immedi-
ately, at least. He is expected to
take cognizance of the Senate's ac-
ton. however, by renewing his de-
n1and that Congress pass the bill
empowering the Executive to inter-
fere, which has lain dormant at the
Capitol since the last coal strike,
