COAST GUARD MEN
SAVE 1888 IN YEAR
Annual Report Asks More
Resources to Stop Snug
ling of Liquor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The far-flung activities of the United
States Coast Guard in protecting the
coasts of the Nation from smugglers,
in aiding ships and persons in distress
and patrolling ice-bound waters on
watch for menacing icebergs in steam
ship lanes were described today in the
annual report of the service.
During the fiscal year of 1928 the
report said that the Coast Guard res
cued 3,983 persons from peril, aided
ships valued at $39,479, ,729, on which
there were 1888 persons, and seized
or reported for law violations 1854 YES
sells. During the year derelicts valued
at sIo3, $50 were recovered and restored
to their owners, while 1877 derelicts and
obstructions to navigation were de-
Stroyed.
Rum Row Wiped Out.
The work Of the Coast Guard in pre-
venting the smuggling of liquor into
this country, the report declared has
been satisfactory. but with the resources
in vessels and men now in command it
said 1t is impossible to do more, Rum
row, 1t stated, has been entirely wiped
out and liquor smuggling on the sea
coasts has been tremendously cur
tailed"
Declaring that there still remains
great deal of liquor smuggling on the
Great Lakes, the report said that 'it is
believed that in this matter the Coast
Guard has accomplished all that is pos
sible to accomplish with its present re-
sources" It continued, however: cit
is firmly believed that the Coast Guard
can go the rest of the way toward a
practically complete prevention of
smuggling on our coasts If it be given
the resources with which to do it."
The standards of morale and dis
cipline among the enlisted men in the
service. were reported to have been
very high" but there were 40 sum-
mary Coast Guard court cases during
the year with 633 Coast Guard court
cases reviewed OF the summary cases,
81 were sentenced to be dishonorably
discharged and forfeit pay; IL were
dishonorably discharged; rs were dis
charged for bad conduct, while two
cases were withdrawn, "a acquitted and
is diSapproved.
Ice Patrol Described.
The work of the ice patrol in the
North Atlantic Ocean, which seeks out
icebergs and ice fields and warns ships
of their location, was gone into in
detail. The work of the North Pacific
and Bering Sea patrol, which carries
out the provisions of the sealing laws
and aids natives in out-of-the-way
settlements. required the patrols to
travel $4,000 miles.
The floating equipment of the Coast
Guard consists of II f1rst-claSS cruiS- |
ing cutters, 16 second class, 25 Coast !
Guard destroyers, 38 harbor cutters and
launches, 33 patrol boats 125 feet long /
and Is boats 100 feet long. 1877 boats !
rs feet long and los picket boats Five |

SCHOLARSHIP TEST
 SET FOR JUNE @
Musicians to Perform Before
 Out 0! Town Judge

Announcement was made today that the most talented music student in New Britain will have an oppor- tunity to win q scholarship emitting him or her to q years tuition to some metropolitan institution Of musical learning.
 The contest. made possible by ad- ditlons to the Kate 4. Stanley fund. Whlrh is nnde, the aosis of the New Britain Musical club, will take place June 26. in iho Camp school audi forum. Al that tim. contestants will play or sing before an out-oI- town judge, who will decide the winner. The fortunate individual will then be privileged to follow in tn" footsteps Of George Westerman, Nlolinist. who won the scholarship last year.
 Music students between the ages or IS and ? are eligible. Detailed Jules can b" had by those interested by communicating with Marcus II. r ffcltzer' president of the Musical club. The rules arc similar 10 those governing the contest last year.
 The Kate 4. Stanley scholarship 'hhd was down 10 slo0 from last \'ar. concert 10 add to the schoI- HrshIp fund was given in the camp S'h"ol auditorium last Tuesday and due to q thorough canvass of former :SSoclalr members oi the Nusica I club. brought in $"7n additional so far, so that s310 was in the fund saturday night. when the eyecutjye board of the club met at the home ol MT, fl"ltzer to consider the sit hanon- small sums are still coming Tn, but the expenses of the schol- arshlp concert arc yet to be met. It IS believed that when a final reck onlnE Is made the scholar rship fund will be about S35o.
 All music teachers in New Brit aln will receive notices calling atten- ton to the scholarship contest and Will be urged 10 enter their most talented pupils. Music students who are not taught by local teachers Likewise are eligible, but they must live in New Britain. There are no entry fees: all that is necessary is to follow the rules and give notice Of being q contestant.
 The identity of the judge will be knoWn later. Last year the judge came from New York, but it was an expensive proceeding and reduced Inc fund more than the executive board thought should be permitted this year. II IS likely that this year on" of the most prominent musicians of New England willy be the judge.
