.. . . GOVERNMENT HEN AFTER SMUCGLING MOST COMPREHENSIVE REPORT IS MADE BY IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS. AETED THOROUGH PROSE Fake Marriages Used to Bring Alien Women Into Florida; Quantities of Liquor Also Brought In. Washington. Smuggling of Euro pean aliens into the United States from Cuba, surreptitiously submerg ing temporarily in the waters off the Florida coast of large quantities of liquors by "International hpotleggers,'' and mock marriages designed to'ln sure entry into this country of women barred by immigration laws form the basis of a report submitted to Secretary Davis by the bureau of im migration. This report, Commissioner General Husband said, is the most comprehen sive view of smuggling conditions ever prepar»l by immigration officials and is expected to be considered by the treasury, labor and agricultural departments in connection with the proposed co-ordination of border pa trol lorces. Government investigators, by the direction ot Mr. Husband, visited Jacksonville, Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Miami. Key West and Havana. They mingled , it is said with the "kings of the smuggling Industry" and talked with aliens of every nationality who sought entry to the United States. The date gathered, it Is stated, will prove Invaluable to the government In coping with a situation which has taxed the Ingenuity of federal agents to combat. The smuggling ramifica tions. it Is declared, extend to the capitals of Europe and involve Qreeks, Spaniards, Poles, Jews, Russians, Ru manlans and Chinese. The reports state that the favorite method of gaining entry to the United j States from Cuba for certain alien j women has been for them to enter j Into "fake" marriages with natural- j Ized American citizens who for cer- ! tain considerations, go through mock ceremonials and then accompany I their "wives" to some Florida point. ' Frequently, It is obliging "bride grooms" as high as J2OO for their part in the scheme. The principal smugglers in Havana, the Investigators declared, do not con-j fine their activities to smuggling of aliens Into the United States. but i also handle whiskey and narcotics. The' majority of the leaders are said : to be naturalised Americans. A great many of the smuggling ! craft. It is declared, land and depart I from Mantanzas, are of Cuban regis- j try, and do not enter or clear at» the customs house there. Names used by the schooners and power launches, It Is declared, are inscribed on plates, readily removable, and some vessels are said to carry several name plates. Destinations of such craft when leaving Cuba are not al ways fixed, the Inspectors report, ad ding that a majority of the bigger schooners anchor outside the customs limits off the American coast and send their load, if aliens, ashore a few at a time In s nail boats. If liquor or narcotics, the cargo is often submerg ed at a predlstance and grappled up subsequently at leisure. No Battleships to be Scrapped Early. Washington.—Secretary Denby an nounced that there will be no scrap ping of battleships until after the five power naval treaty has been notified by the last subscribing powers France and Italy have yet to ratify the pact. Five obsolete battleships have al ready been sent to the scrap heap, but It was said that although named in the treaty they would have been any way. They are the Virginia, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Georgia and the New Jersey. Officials, It was Indicated, have felt that the near eastern situation might lead to some of the signatories chang ing plans regarding the scrapping of vessels beyond the treasury provis ions and for this reason Tt would not be wise for the United States to begin actual scrapping until all the powers have ratified the pact.

The order for the reopening of the 1 plants came from Edsel Ford, Bon of i the manufacturer and president of the 1 Ford Motor company, who made ar- I rungements to obtain coal during a I long conference in Cincinnati with 50 !' operators.

[exceeding fifty years, nitrate plants' t Nos. 1 and 2, and Waco quarry, near ' i Muscle Shoals, Alabama, at one-dollar l' i a year each, on condition that they 1 i 1 shall operate at present capacity for ' i j the production of fertilizer components i | for sale to the public at a price not . to exceed eight per cent profit, was in-1 1 troduced in the house by Representa- j' tive Hull, republican,»lowa. The resolution also provides that '' the plants, which may be leased either j separately or completely, are to be kept in condition to produce nitrates : 1 and other components of munitions, 1 such plants, with their personnel, to 1 be turned over to the United States in case of national emergency. t j Sale by the Secretary of War to the j Alabama Power Company of the gov-: 1 . ernment-owned steam plant at Gorgas, r Ala., together with the transmission; . ! line to Sheffield, with sub-stations, at j a price of not less than three million 1 i dollars, also would be authorized. - j Failing to sell the Gorgas properties ! : .| at an adequate price, the secretary j' > J would be authorized to negotiate with f . the Alabama Power Company for the ' t purchase of sites, and right-of-way on \ 1 i which the plant and sub-stations are,' i located, with such other property, by I condemnation or otherwise, as might! II be deemed necessary.

Ala. 1 "It is designed, however, to find a i 'solution for tire vexed problems thatj confront the government at those nl-l |trate and power plants and projects, yj If the Alabama Power Company, Mr., ' Ford, or any other person or organi-, zation wants to make a contract along, r 'tbe lines of the resolution and operate 5 dams Nos, 2 and 3 and nitrate plants s jNos. 1 and 2, there is nothing in the • resolution that would prevent making ' a contract for the entire properties, j ' "Xkf resolution is general legisla-, 1 tionpermitting the solving of the ' lems. It has been found very difficult, } if not impossible, for a large commit "itee of the house, such as the I affairs committee, consisting of 21 j members, to negotiate a solution of the problems. It would be still more 8 difficult for the whole membership of y the house to complete such a negotia •"' tion. The resofution therefore, em - powers the secretary of war to make 1 the best bargain for the government 1 that It Is possible to make, either col ' lectlvely or by units, which ever he I- is satisfied Is the best for the govern ! ment." | Senate Sustains Veto of President. • j Washington.

HARDING GALLS FOR COAL DIE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO MEET THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY. I I SPENS MADE NEW COAL CHIEF i President Thinks Coal Problem Can 1 Be Solved in Thirty Days By "Concentrated Drive." j Washington.—The entire operating personnel of the railways of the coun- , try was called upon by President Harding for a "concentrated drive" , for thirty days to provide the trans portation facilities necessary to meet the national coal emergency. In a letter to Conrad E. Spens, vice president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, who was named c as federal fuel distributor under, the new coal distribution and iteering act, the President declared that If the enthusiastic attention of' the railroads could be stimulated for i a month on the movement of coal and handling of empties "we could solve 'the coal situation not only as to am ple supply, but prices would be quick ly readjusted." The President suggested that Mr. Spens take up with the governors of the various states the question of the prevention of extortion, as the new act is limited to coal moving in interstate commerce only. "The Federal government," Preai- L dent Harding said, "is loath to under take to fix definite prices for coal, be cause of the objectionable character of such intervention in peace Ximes, because of the difficulty in arriving at fair prices without giving undue favor to some and loss to others, and also because of the incompleteness of an i authority 'Which is only supplementary ito state action. On the other hand, I wish you to sit up such agencies as will vigorously follow up individuals using facilities of Interstate com merce who are exacting extortion, as defined in the act, in order that we may have relief from such practices at the earliest moment," Arrangements for the distribution and control of anthricite prices, the | President declared, have been satis factorily established In co-operation with state authorities and operators and, he added, the first activities of the new fuel agency should be di rected to the extension of the co-op erative arrangements with the rail ways, bituminous coal producing and consuming communities and the states authorities set up by Henry B. Spen cer, the volunteer federal fuel distri -1 butor: [ Congress Adjourns Sine Die. Washington.
