MELLON REQUESTS
UNDERCOVER FUND
$500, 900 Needed to Detect
Big Liquor conspiracies,
Secretary Insists.

Defending under-cover work of Fed
erai agents in enforcing prohibition
and narcotic laws Secretary Mellon
today sent to Congress proposed bill
which would allow the use of Federal
funds for this type of work. An esti-
mate of $500. 900 in the Treasury ap-
preparation bill for the next fiscal
year had been stricken out on a point
of order that would have put a stop
to under-cover work.
THE use Of certain funds as ad-
vanced monies Is absolutely essential
to the successful enforcement of these
laws" said Secretary Mellon.
The proposed bill, the Secretary
said, will remedy this situation by
providing that the Secretary OF the
Treasury, with the approval of the
President, may make available for
advances for this purpose from appro-
priations already made, such sums as
he deems necessary"
Believes Congress Approves.
This act is recommended by the
department, said the Secretary, 'in
the belief that the Congress does not
intend the executive department to
hQuS D6 seriously ndIuICdppCQ Ill Tie
matter of law enforcement"
Beginning with the fiscal year 1922,
Mr.. Mellon pointed out, Congress in
the appropriation act for each fiscal
year had authorized the Treasury De-
partment to use a. designated portion
of the moneys appropriated as an ad-
vance fund in securing evidence of vio-
lations of the narcotic and prohibition
laws. When this appropriation of half
a million dollars, which had been
standing for Ave years, was stricken
out on a point of order, Secretary Mel
lon said, "it leaves the department
without authority to use any portion
whatever of the appropriation for Sc.
curing evidence in this matter"
Big COnspiracies Faced.
In support of the bill, the Secretary
quoted at length from a supplement
tary report recently sent from the
department to the President of the
Senate. In this message the Treasury
had declared that the country was
faced with numerous, bad and con-
tinuing conspiracies."
LIT must be recognized said Sec
retary Mellon, in quoting from the
previous statement sent to the Senate,
that violations are nationwide in
their occurrence and almost without
number. To meet this condition the
Federal Government must concentrate
it's efforts on the large, well organized,
illegal operations that develop and
maintain the sources of supply and
the wholesale distribution. Illegal
traffic of this character and on such
a scale is menace to the stability of
well ordered society and to the com
mon welfare.

Portugal has passed through an
other revolution, and President Car
mona's dictatorship is still in power.
Dispatches from Lisbon today con-
f1rmed that the revolutionaries there
surrendered after 44-hour lombard
ment of the naval arsenal. Their

The number of casualties is not

killed, including non-combatants.
The movement in Lisbon was
started in support of the revolt at
Oporto, second largest city in Portugal,
which broke out a week ago today
and continued until Monday night,
when the revolutonaries surrendered.
Gen. Souza Diaz. one of the chief
rebels, has been reported among the
killed at Oporto, but this has not been
confirmed.
The LibSon insurgents included
naval men, part of the Republican
Guard, policemen and many civilians.
Official dispatches from the Portuguese
foreign office show that the cruiser
Carvalhao Araujo went into action for
the rebels until she was silenced by

No Danger in Use of
Tin Food Containers

That tin, the metal with which
most metallic food containers are
lined, has absolutely no effect on the
human body is the finding of Drs.
E. w. Schwartze and w. T. Clarke,
chemists of the Department of Ag-
riculture. Selecting asparagus and
pumpkin as two kinds of preserved
food which might be expected to en-
ter into chemical union with the tin
lining of the cans in which they
had been preserved for long periods,
these Investigators were unable to
demonstrate the slightest unfavor-
able effects of the stored vegetables
when they were fed to guinea pigs.
Further, they administered tin met
al in two gram lots, more than all
the tin on several large cans, to
human beings over period of five
days. BY the most refined analyti-
cal methods they could find no trace
of tin in the bloom stream, indicat-
ing none had been absorbed by the
body. Other experts in the same
laboratory are at work determining
the effect on steel cans lined with
enamel instead of with tin coat
ing.

of this in various neighborhoods dur

doubt, there will be a coordination
of local forwarding agents, transpor-
tation facilities, marketing agencies
through tire central markets and any
other units which may be necessary
to the successful carrying out of
such plan. This plan is immense in
its scope and if properly1auncheda and
carried on the aggregate would, no
doubt, within a comparatively short
time form an important factor in the
movement of a large volume Of all
classes of livestock than any other
distributing or marketing plan.
The plan of an organization of this
character is of such magnitude that
it is difficult to forsee just how far
it might go. At the outset it would
seem to be a step in the right direc-
tion as it has long been apparent that
the small producer Of livestock in the
West is coming into the limelight and
his aggregate production will eventu-
ally overshadow the larger scale pro-
ducers. With distributing and mar
keting plan of this character at his
disposal it is likely that his opera
tions would be made more profitable
from the outset as it would place him
in position as strong as the largest
operator from a marketing stand
point and at the same time give
him the benefit of well guaged dis
tribution through established market
ing channels.
