MEXICAN CHANGE.
TO AMERICAN
UNION DEFEATED
Committee Rejects Plan to
Rotate Craftsmanship
On Board

HAVANA, Jan. 80 tR)-The commit
tee on American union affairs,
of the Pan American conference, to-
day deciSively rejected the Mexican
amendments which sought to give
to each American republic in turn
the craftsmanship of the governing
board and the director generalShip.
The committee considered that it had
gone far enough in "democratizing'
the Pan-American union by agreeing
last week to special representation in
this body by the contracting govern
ments.
While this committee thus virtually
was preserving intact the present or
ganization of the Pan American union,
the committee on communications
took first step toward including
Canada in the Pan American delibera-
tions by approving a suggestion that
on account of Americas northern
neighbor, the proposed inter- American
commercial aviation treaty be open to
adherence by all countries.
After Ambassador Fletcher of the
American delegation gave assurances
that the United States had no objec-
ton to according the aviation treaty
the amplest application, Felipe Espil,
of Argentina, moved that its provis-
ions be open to adherence to any
country having aviation lines. He
pointed out that if Canada were not
allowed to subscribe to the treaty,
then she would be required to con-
clude 81 bilateral treaties with the
individual republics.

by Admiral H. A. Brumby, commander
in chief of the Atlantic fleet
WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 ZAP, = The
submarine S3 lost contact with con-
voy south OF Hatteras at sundown
Saturday, and word has not been heard
from her since
While officials expressed confidence
that the submarine, sister ship of
the sunken Sd, would turn up all
right at Guantanamo, Cuba, her des-
tination, the navy department today
ordered an intensive search for the
submarine.
The So with it's crew of Al men,
became separated from the control
force, bound for winter maneuvers, in
a gale 100 miles south of Cape Hat
teras, one of the worst storm centers
on the Atlantic coast. A report that
she had lost contact with seven other
submarines, the Camden, submarine
tender, and the new airplane carrier
Saratoga, was received at the navy de-
partment early today.
In addition to the ships of the con-
voy, which have been on the lookout
for the SIS, the department late today
ordered the light cruisers Milwaukee,
Raleigh and Memphis and a squadron
of destroyers to proceed from Cuban
waters in search of the missing craft.
At the department, officers, though
plainly concerned, said they would
have no grave fears of the S-3 until
after Wednesday night, when she is
due at Guantanamo. The ship is in
command of Lieut.. p w. Warren, of
Springfield, Ill.

President Coolidge
Justifes Program
WNavy Expansion

WASHINGTON Jan. 80 R-The
business managers of the government
took a night off their books tonight
to assemble in Memorial Continental
hall to hear President Coolidge give
the principal address at their semi
annual budget meeting.
The president was first on the
program and after him the workers
were prined to hear details of the
fiscal affairs of the government dur
ing the past six months from Director
Lord of the budget.
A chain of radio stations was linked
to carry the voice cf the president
and Director Lord throughout the
country, with the marine band
furnishing music
The meeting was contemplated in
the budget law and serves each six
months to bring all heads of de-
partmentS and bureaus in Washington
together to hear government business
discussed in detail.
Emphasizing anew the need fer
maintaining a, well balanced federal
budget and OF reducing the national
debt, President Coolidge told the
heads of departments and bureaus at
the Semi-annual government business
meeting tonight that it is far better
to have no tax reduction than to
have too much.
While he stressed the Importance
of adhering to a constructive economy
program, the, president declared it
would be mistake to stint activities

of the nation. In this connection
he mentioned nationals defense, calling
attention particularly to the ad-
ministration's naval building program
ut considers our own requirements
alone and carries no thought of entry
into competitive construction with
any other nation" he said. "The
plan have endorsed does net con-
template any limitation of time as
to the beginning or the completion
of this tentative program. But it
does contemplate the building of the
ships as fast as possible"
Cautioning against departure from
the policy of keeping governmental
expenditures within receipts, Mr..
Coolidge pointed out that any surplus
always could be applied to the public
debt, the reduction of which, he said,
is in itself indirect tax reduction.
ct have expressed myself in favor
of further moderate Tx reduction, :"
the president said. st have indicated
the maximum reduction we can now
afford. There was no partisan thought
in that recommendation. I hope
there will be none in its final. con-
sideration by the congress.
"We must not depart from the wise
policy established and thus far rigidly
followed of keeping our expenditures
within our receipts. That I had
in mind in making my recommenda-
ton. 1t has made a rich contribution
to the present splendid financial
status of the country. 1t has enabled
us to hire money at lower rate
than any other business IN the world.
1t has lbeen effective in the mainten-
ance of prosperity. It has the hearty
endorsement of the taxpayers.
"That policy Of a balanced budget

not be molested. 1t must not be
endangered. The great good which
has come to this country from a
balanced budget is too measureless,
too far-reaching, even to suggest any
other course. This nation is neither
too weak nor too improvident tc meet
its obligations as they occur.

EASTERN STATES START CHECKING
COST OF WEEKEND GALE, SNOW

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 R-The
weekend gale that lashed the
eastern states from the Great
Lakes to the Everglades and piled
deep snow over wide areas had
spent its fury tonight but its cost
was not yet counted.
During the storm the submarine
.S-3, with 43 officers and men
aboard, was separated from several
others with which it was proceed
ing to Cuba, and had not yet been
found.
The coast guard cutter 1O7, which
was reported missing when COM
municatiOn with it failed, was
found safe at the Delaware capes,
having suffered no worse disable
ment than the stilIing of it's wire
less.
The Norwegian freighter africa,
which sent out an SOS yesterday,
had not been located.
About all that was left of the
storm today was generally severe

temperature was rising steadily.
The temperature, was freakish.
1t was ono degree colder in Wash
ington than in Portland, Me.
emperature es throughout the
eastern states varied from 80 degrees
below zero, the mark recorded at
Saranac Lake, in upper New York,
to just below freeing.
The mercury was well below
freeing in Florida Saturday and
Sunday and killing frost the worst
in ten years, caused heavy produce
damage. Estimates of the total
loss there were not available but in
Dade county alone the loss was
believed to be $25O,OOO.
Two third of all the tender truck
crops in southern Florida was re-
ported to have been killed when
the temperature was at its lowest
and agriculture agents said that
general replanting was the only
course left to growers.

after-life.
Science is not setting forth to

racketeers have hit upon the plan
OF extending their activities in order
to increase their already fabulous
profits. Gangsters trained in Chi
cago methods are sent to other large
cities to organize rackets, and in St.
Louis. Detroit, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh are unmistakable signs Of the
guiding hands Of the lords of the
Chicago racket.
The men at the head of the rack
cts, although willing to approve Of
almost any kind of crime to achieve
their ends, are not ordinary GRIM
mails. They are extremely shrewd
and skillful. with a genius for or
ganization. If they had Engaged in
legitimate business the chances are
that they would have been equally
successful.
Join Public Officials
How can such organizations be
built up in any American city? The
answer, the various agencies investi-
eating crime in Chicago agree, is
that the racketeers have formed al
liances with public officials and poll
ticians and thus, until recently, have
thwarted all efforts to prosecute
them. The extent Of the invasion Of
other large cities clearly depends on
the real attitude Of public officials.
Racket mobs in Chicago now con-
troll practically all the bootlegginr.
gambling and vice, but in addition
have extended their domination to
many forms Of legitimate business.
The stunt Of the racket is to increase
or keep up prices in any line of bust
ness, and for this service (for which
the public must pay) extort enor-
nous sums from business men. De-
fiance Of the Jacket generally brings
violence.
This kind Of . racket started in
the dry cleaning industry, with the
public and the dry cleaners being
taken for : cleaning" It has spread
to these lines Of business, according
to special assistant attorneys-gen-
eral now investigating the situation:
Garages, bootblacks. shoe repair
ers, candy manufacturers: fruit.
vegetable and food dealers; laun-
dries; meat, fish and poultry dealers:

BY JAMES +. KIRBY
Chicago, Sept. g. Rack
eteering is now Big Business.
THE Racket" - organized
graft, corruption and crime
has grown to proportions that
seem magnified, beyond mag
ination.
In Chicago alone-the birth
place Of the racket" the re-
ceipts Of these organized gang
sters are from $4,000, 900 to
$75, 600, 900 annually, it is con-
servatively estimated by those
who have made an extensive
study of crime conditions here.
In addition to garnering huge
profits from bootlegging, gambling
and vice, racketeers now either con-
troll or are active in so larger ind
$50 smaller lines of business and
other activity in Chicago, and COL
lect m enormous tribute for protec-
ton from their own violence.
For years the racket" has been
distinctly . Chicago institution. But
it has been found such . profitable
form Of crime there that it Is spread
ing to the other large cities Of the
middle west. st. Louis. Detroit,
Cleveland and Pittsburgh, heretofore
complacent in their disdain Of Chi
Cages terrorism, are awakening to
find IN invasion of racketeering with
the accepted weapons - dynamite,
stencil bombs. the torch, and machine
guns.
Racketeering is now organized
much after the fashion of big bust
ness concerns, with violence substi-
tuted for business skill. No longer
! can it be considered the sporadic out
breaks Of small groups Of criminals.
It has found that greater returns
can be obtained from organization
and concerted action. It has found
that it is much safer and more prof
liable to form rackets than it is to
plan big mail or bank robberies; in
this kind of crime there is . chance
Tor one big hold-up occasionally,
while in the racket game the "divi-
.dends" so far have been paid with
amazing regularity.
Capone Controls Beer
!. In Chicago there is a large num-
her Of "mobs," as the gangs If rack
,steers are now called. At the head
OF each mob is an acknowledged and
.-undisputed leader. These leaders ap-
.parently have reached agreements
to divide up the forms Of graft and
stribute and collections. For instance,
al Capone, the outstanding rack
1teer, controls the beer trade and il
raid to direct all the rackets in the
Ioop-Chicago's principal business
lection. Other mob" leaders have
ether districts and indulge in other
s4ormI Of racketeering. The rather
frequent outbreaks Of gang warfare
generally can be traced to some vio-
Iation or suspected violation of these
agreements.

Grain trading stayed close to the
