ENFORCEMENT
FIGURES

In keeping with the injunction
of President Hoover that the 1921
budget totals must remain within
the limit Of that OF 1880. Treasury
experts today started to whittle
down the preliminary estimates
dealing with the various phases Of
prohibition enforcement.
Figures prepared by the Customs
and Coast Guard, and. In the hands
Of Ogden i. Mills. Treasury budget
officer. were said to be sornewhat
higher than the appropriations In
the 1890 budget.
The Coast Guard this year has
available $29.676, 900 or s700.0O0
more than appropriated in the year
ending June 80. The customs 1890
appropriation is $43, 3,180. 500. an in
crease Of s4,319.O0O over the precsis
ing year.
DOran Asks 10000
Prohibition Commissioner James
M. Doran is said to have asked for
SIS .325 900. the same as in the 1890
budget and the deficiency bill by
which congressional drys hoped for
deficiency bill amounting to ST.
100000 allowed $1,7O0,000 for the
Prohibition Bureau. and carried
$4,000 for educational purposes.
This was included In the bureaus
recommendation for the 1891
budget, but will be used for fact
finding research, rather than IN
educating the public to the virtues
OF prohibition.
Under the deficiency bill appro-
priation the prohibition bureau was
authorized to employ $40 additional
investigators and agents. OF that
number about 900 already have been
put on the payrolls and the re-
mainder will go to work az soon as
eligible lists are furnished by the
Civil Service Commission.
No increase in the prohibition
force in 1881 over that to be built
UP for the year ending June 80. 1890.
was contemplated by the Treasury.
Officials pointed out that the bureau
was now making as many cases as
can be handled by the Federal courts
and that there Is no occasion for IN
increase In personnel until the judi
cial machinery IL expanded.
Await Crime Report
Furthermore the Administration
would like to see a report by t h .
Presidents crime commission before
making any material change in the
prohibition machinery.
Increases in the customs bureaus
preliminary estimates were said to
have been occasioned by q sliding
increase in payroll and the necessity
of expanding personnel both for Dor.
der patrol purposes and inspectors
at the principal ports of entry. Gus
toms obtained portion of the de.
ficiency appropriation work. Part
Of it went to the Justice Depart.
ment.
In the Coast Guard Admiral r.
G. Billiard, commandant. has recon-
mended an increase of about 800 Of
ficers. but no increase in enlisted
personnel. That would mean about
$150,0O0 annually. 1t was pointed
out that many Coast Guard patrol
vessels are in charge OF warrant of.
ficers instead of commissioned men.
1t would be to the advantage of
the Government to have commits
stoned men in charge because CT

Of that country for trafficking
in opium, is expected here to
become a boomerang.
There appeared little likelihood
here today that the Federal authori-
ties in San Francisco would prose-
cute the young and yivacious Chi
nese wife of the vice consul for
opium smuggling. Opium vlaued at
about $500 900 was found in Mrs.
wing Koa's trunks when she landed
at San Francisco from China. The

fled the State Department today that
he had suspended .Ying Kao pending
completion OF the investigation he
is making through the Chinese Con-
sui General at San Francisco. and

authorities.
THE threat of the Kuomingtang
political organization of the Chinese
National government, and the de-
mand of the American branch that
the couple be returned to China put
3 new aspect on the case from the
American point of view.
The danger Of having their heads
chopped off by the Chinese authori-
ties IL they are forced to return to
China appears to have caused the
Federal authorities here to. move
slowly in the matter of prosecuting
the wife. The vice consul could not
be prosecuted even IL Mrs. Ying Kao

That there is little possibility that
they. could be forced to return TO
China also was apparent today.
No Extradition
The United States has no extradi-
tion treaty with China, ana State
Department officials say therefor
no request for extraditon would
likely be- honored.
The immigration authorities say
that under the immigration laws,
persons entering the United States
with official credentials such as
given by foreign governments for
official missions, are exempt from

Since the girl has chosen this

for her not to plan any Of the
parties that are customarily asso-

Parties given after elopements
simply serve to emphasize the un-

MARKET FOR
SONGS

Nearly $15, 100000 is spent an
nualIy in the United States for
popular songs and most Of this
money comes straight from the
pocketbook eof the American wo-
man.
Women buy five times as many
songs as men. a survey reveals.
Two thousand popular songs
are published every year by reptlt-
able publishers, and less than 10
per cent of these make any money
worth mentioning. About rs per
cent are total losses. and the real
hits assay about Iz per cent.
The total amount OF money
spent annually for songs Ii 10
times as much as 1t was 20 years
ago. The West and Middle West
are the biggest markets And
more popular songs are sold per
capital IN the city than III the
