EXTRA SHOPPING Time
URGED FOR WORKERS
Head of Women's Club Federation
Asks Rudolph to Seek EN-
ployers' Aid.

Commissioner Cuno II. Rudolph TO-
day was in receipt of a suggestion
from Mrs. Virginia White Speel presi-
dent of the District of Columbia Fed
Grafton of Women's Club, urging that
he use his influence to induce employ
ers in Washington to this year con-
slider more carefully the shopping
needs of their employes-particula
the women.
Mrs. Speel, in her letter to Commits
sioner Rudolph, pointed out that In
every city employers generally allow
time before Christmas for their en-
ployeS to do their necessary extra
Christmas shopping. She adds. how
ever, that in past years it has been
customary for the employer to neglect
to do this until the Christmas shop
ping rush Is we'll under way.
GAS result" Mrs. Speel writes.
many women employees have not been
given an opportunity to do their shop
ping until late December. If the en-
ployer is to allow them time off for
this. why not do it this year early in
December instead of waiting until the
stores are so packed with holiday
crowds that shopping is anything but
a pleasure?
Our Washington merchants are
this year showing their Christmas
wares earlier than usual and the
women who do not have an early op-
portunity to make their gift selections
will be at real disadvantage" Mrs.
Speel continues. "Those who, by the
ithoughtfulness of their employers, are
permitted to do their shopping now
will have a much more satisfactory op-
pOrtunity to complete their lists than
those who are prevented from doing
their Christmas buying until the last
minute. :
1T seems to me Mr.. Commissioner.
that if you would call the attention of
employers in our city, who, as q rule,
are most fair, to this situation, they
could just as easily allow their EN-
ployes the necessary time right now,
when stocks are fresh and clerks are
able to deal with them pleasantly and
efficiently. 1t will take no more time
from work now than it will later in
the month. / believe it would only be
necessary for you to bring this point
to the attention of our people in this
city. through our newspapers, and
for that reason 1 am addressing this
letter to YOU"

FORCES FOR PROTECTION.

American naval forces in Chinese
waters are available strictly for pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty, 1t was reiterated today at the
State Department. They will not be
used, it was indicated, to maintain
the present customs administrations
at Hankow or elsewhere, as the COL
lection of customs is regarded as a
function of the Chinese government
The customs treaties apply. it was
said, only to rates of duty.
While the situation at Hankow is
being closely watched and additional
warcraft have been sent there, the
hope is entertained that with the ar
rival of the Canton government head
quarters at Wuchang, across the
river. the activities of the unions in
Hankow will be crushed. If neces-
sary, however, Americans will be
evacuated. There is no American
concession at Hankow for the pro-
lection Of which a naval force could
be set ashore. Most American resi-
dents are quartered in the British,
French or other concessions, which
can be protected under the terms Of
the treaties of those countries with
China.
Indications are that apprehension
over the status of the customhouse
at Hankow originated through an ef-
fort to unionize customs employees.
Press advices do not show, however,
that the movement has been complete
ly successful, and Washington Off
Gals are inclined to believe that Can
tonese authorities. when they arrive
at Wuchang, will prove anxious to
keep the Hankow customhouse open
and doing business. Despite frequent
disturbances in connection with the
maritime customs at Canton, the GUS
tomhouse there is, and has been, per.
forming it's functions without inter.
ference from the Cantonese govern
ment.
A surtax, not provided for under
the various customs treaties, has been
collected by the Cantonese on COM
merce moving through the port, but
it's collection has been made at a sec
ondary customs frontier. 1t has been
the subject of representations to the
Cantonese government by the Ameri.
can and other consular officials at

Kidnapped Men.

NEW ORLEANS, December 8 R).-
Twenty ships secured the seas today
in search of the botleg buccaneers
who have kidnapped a Federal prohi-
bition agent and a Coast Guardsman.
Only conjecture can be advanced as
to what happened when the French
schooner Arsene j. escaped from the
cutter CGS02 with two of the rum
chaser's crew who had been left
aboard to guard the schooners cargo
of liquor.
One belief is that the Arsene J.s
crew fell on their guards and clapped
them into irons and then headed out
into the gulf under full sail for the
Bahamas.
j. B. Matthews, assistant prohibition
administrator of New Orleans, and
Petty officer Handley are the kidnapped
men.

er, F. Woods, is described as a clever

ON LAW ISSUES
Holds Conference With En-
forcement Leaders on New
Legislative Program.

Behind closed doors Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury Lincoln c.
Andrews, in charge of prohibition.
went through a long and earnest
conference with representatives of the
principal dry forces of the country
at a meeting today of the national
legislative conference at the Raleigh
Hotel.
Gen. Andrews explained, it was
understood. the Administrations pro-
gram for new legislative proposals,
particularly the one which would
set up a private corporation to pur-
chase, distill and distribute all
whisky in the future.
Questioned From Floor.
Gen. Andrews was asked many
questions from the floor AT the
opening of the conference 1t was the
rule that all questions should be
submitted in writing, but so many
were the queries and so long did the
questioning of Gen. Andrews con-
tinue that 1t was understood the
notepaper edict was abolished.
Although it is known that among
some of the dry leaders there exists
considerable opposition to the Gov
clIlIlclt . pIOpOSdl u START lIlo tIS-
tilleries very shortly under a new
private corporation, indications which
came from the conference before it
closed were agreed that there had
been no heckling of the Government
prohibition car.
Important Queries i'm Allegiance.
Intimations were apparent, how
ever, that in the conference were GER
tain dry leaders who were more than
anxious to ask the general some
rather sharp questions. and what
would happen before the conference
came to an end was q matter of keen
conjecture on the outside. Gen. An
drews was understood also to have
sketched briefly to the conference the
Treasury's proposal to tighten up the
Governments dry enforcement pro
gram through the Golf bill. He spent
most of his time, however. 1t was
learned, on the new whisky-ha ndling
proposal.
Andrews Wins Point.
Although the seal of secrecy was
clamped tight upon the conference
this morning it was understood that
Gen. Andrews had won some of the
opposition among the minority who
were not In accord with the Govern
ment's program to distill whisky.
Questions flew thick and fast at
Gen. Andrews after he personally
had lifted the ban on oral questions
and the Assistant Secretary was
kept at the conference for almost
two hours.
Chief among the generals ques-
toners was understood to be Clin-
ton Howard, chairman of the united
committee for prohibition enforce
ment.
So anxious were members Of the
conference to prevent any word of
what went on from leaking out to
the public and the press that. it
was understood, all those iA attend
ance were asked to raise their right
hand and pledge that nothing would
be divulged.
