new Tests FOR
DRYS DENIED

There win be no discrimination
or tile; 500 or more prohibition
agents who flnnked out in the
recent civil service tests conducted
over the nation. it was indicated to-
day at the Civil service Commits
sion.
According to the law there can
be no REORGANIZATION for specified
positions unless there is short
age OF eligIbles. OF the Is, 900 who
took the tests, 5000 passed the
first or mental, test. There are
only 1000 jobs so there appears to
be plenty of eligibles. The oral and
character tests will not show such
a string Of casualties. it IL believed.
The Prohibition Bureau has asked
the Civil Service Commission to per-
NIT the fIunked agents To take an
easier examination. Only soc of
the present force of 1000 are said
to have successfully passed the first
examination.
Prohibition administrators have
been quoted as saying they want
men who can knock off a still or
raid a bar roona--not one who can
spell "idiosyncrasies."
In support of the position OF the
Civil Service Commission 1t has
been pointed out that many of
the agents, while being very
good "knock'em-down. drag EN-
out" men, become all tangled up IN
court by shrewd defense lawyers
and permit acquittaI of bootIeggers
simply because they lack ordinary
intelligence.
Intelligence is a very important
requisite for prohibition agent, it
is held.

Committee, which Is holding hear

The committee will resume its
hearings Monday night, at which

their arguments.
Members Of the COMMITTEES are

Another Bill In
A bill authorizing acquisition Of
site on Buzzard's Point for the
new market was introduced in the
House yesterday by Representative
Frederick w. Dallinger of Massa-
chusetts. This bill probably will
necessitate another session OF the
subcommittee Wednesday night.
Presidents Of five citizen associa.
tions testified last night before the
parks and Fairgrounds subcomnit-
tee of the House District Commit.
tee in favor of locating the new
Farmers Produce Market on the
mid-city site near Convention Hall
Market.
The association heads told the
committee that 80 per cent of the
local citizen associations want the
market located on the so-called mid
city site.
They argued that it is the center
OF population; that it is easily ac-
cessible because of adjacent street
car and bus lines; that there is ade-
auate parking space; and that the
area Is large enough for future ex'
pansion.
The five citizen presidents were

Representative Ernest w, Glib
son, chairman of the subcommittee
pointed out that the Commissioners
had eliminated the midcity site be
cause it lacked rail and water trans
portation connections.
Havenner answered this by de
claring that the Importance OF
these features had been oVerstresseC
and that the real problem was tC
locate the market near the center
of population where it would be
within easy reach of consumers.

PARIS, September 21.-The United

courtesy undoubtedly will be invited to
participate in negotiations projected for

Government cannot accept the view that
the reparations and debt questions are
allied. although the French people gen.
orally regard them as indissolubly as
sociated.
The first thing to be done. 1t is held
here, is to come to an agreement with
Germany. Since the United States.
through delegates. worked out the
Dawes PLAN it is regarded as mere
courtesy to give Washington chance
h to say whether it wants to take hand
