thetic to the commission and wish to
give 1t every latitude and opportunity
For example, Senator Jones of Wash
ington, author of the Jones prohibition
law, has resisted the demand for a
preliminary report.
One can understand a possible rea-
son for hesitancy on the part of the
commission about making preliminary
report. Very recently one member of
the commission made a very brief, in
formal statement about It's work. The
statement. while balanced, included an
allusion to lawlessness by Government
agents. There was an instant uproar
from many prohibitionists. This Incl
dent was a contributory cause to the
outburst of statements this week. II
half dozen words can give rise to SO
much commotion, it can be imagined
what a formal preliminary report
might do.
1t cannot be said with certainty that
no other prohibition measure will come
to decision in Congress soon. AS to each
OF the others, however, there are rea-
sons making for delay.

BOULDER DAM FARLEY
TO SEEK AGREEMENT
Effort Will Be Made to Settle Diff
ferences in Phoenix, Arix.,
January 8.

Another effort ID to be made on jan
uary 8 ut Phoenix. Ariz., to iron out
the differences between three Western
States on certain problems in connec-
ton with Boulder Dam. The meeting.
announced today by the Interior De-
partment, will be q friendly one to at
tempt to settle the differences between
Arizona, California and Nevada. These
differences are concerned chiefly with
the disposal Of water which will be made
available through erection of the dam.
but it has been agreed that no State
will be bound as a result Of the de-
alterations.
Col. William J. Donovan will attend
the meeting as a representative Of the
Federal Government. and for this meet
ing there will be added to the regular
members of the Colorado River Com
mission special representative appoint
ed by the governor of each State. In
view of the fact that Arizona has an
nounced her intention to file suit against
the project, 1t Is hoped the meeting will
bring about an agreement to avoid legal
action.

PITTENGER AGAINST
LIMITING OF PORTS
Minnesota Representative Sees
Danger in U. S. Plans for Uni
fed Border Patrol.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Pittenger Republican
Minnesota, today announced that he
would oppose the proposal of the
Treasury Department to limit the mum
Der of ports of entry from Canada.
Undersecretary Mills of the Treasury
has announced that a plan for a uni
fed border patrol and to lessen the
number of ports OF entry from Canada
would be placed before congressional
joint committee now in the process OF
formation. Mills said, however. that
1t would be necessary to consult Canada
about reducing the number Of ports.
II can see a lot of dangerous posi-
bilities," Pittenger said in a statement
lin the plan of UnderSecretary Mills to
close the highways to Canada and it Is
possible that great inconvenience may
be caused many people"
Pittenger said the proposal came as
a surprise to him and asserted that he
would not indorse it without further
information.
He said there had already been much
complaint directed at the customs, i'm
migration and border patrol regulations
to the effect that they Leedlessly inter-
fere with persons who have lawful busi-
ness that takes them across the border.
He asserted the tourist business was
also to be considered.
MY district" he said, Extends for a
considerable distance along the Cana
dian border and 1t is only fair that the
people affected have chance to know
what the Government bureaus plan to
do"

Will Rogers
Says:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.-The
White House fire burned quite
awhile, due to the following: When
Mr.. Hoover discovered that some
kind of condition existed" he sent out
letters inviting all the fire depart
ments in Washington, and, when
they arrived. appointed them on a
commission Ito investigate and rec
ommend remedies" They did in
vestigate, and, on account of there
being no prominent business men on
the commission, they turned in their
report fairly quick: I'VE find a fire
does exist, and, in keeping with the
spirit of every amendment, recon-
mend nothing but water to extin-
guish it." OF course, by this time
the house had burned down. But 1t
was, nevertheless, gratifying to Mr..
Hoover, for it was the first commits
sion that he had ever appointed in
his life that had really ever turned
in a report. So he figures the loss
of the building we'll worth it. 1t will
renew his faith in commissions.

years to restore service fully. This fear
has proved groundless and the Asso-

RUM SNIUCCLERS SPEED UP As
DETROIT RIVER FREEZES OVER
Customs Patrol Chief and Dozen
Of His Men Aid Runners

SPECTATORS WATCH WORK
Automobiles, Sleighs, Tobog-
gans and Boats Throng
Icy Boundary Stretch

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 24.-(F1-Oppor-
tunities afforded liquor smugglers by
the frozen Detroit river were described
by the Toronto Globe today Is fol-
lows:
Six inches Of river Ice interrupted
by less than 100 feet Of open water,
coupled with the fact that Sumner g.
Sleeper. chief of the Detroit customs
patrol. and q dozen Of his men had
thrown up their jobs. presented ia
smugglers an opportunity which they
have been denied for many months.
The smugglers speeded up produc-
ton and by using small automobiles,
sleighs and even old fashioned tobog-
ganS succeeded In transporting an un-
determined quantity Of liquor and
Canadian beer to Detroit and Its en-
virons. The operations were carried on
in sight Of spectators who lined the
shores to watch the progress Of the
scores Of caravans over the frozen
waste.
In several instances small cars were
observed hitched to boats with steel
runners which whisked them across
in express time. When the open
stretch Of water was encountered the
boats were utilized. Further down the
river the Ice was solid all the way
across and the boats were dispensed
with. On the Detroit side large vans
labeled furniture and express were
observed speeding away from the riv-
er within few minutes after q cargo
had landed. There was no attempt
at interference at any time 30 far as
reported.
In one place small rowboat piled
high with beer cartons was having
trouble picking its way through the
openings in the icefield. There were
four men In the boat and each poled
manfully to get his little craft
through.
