} Extracts:and Other Prepara- ] tions-Stll Under Suspicion. | More Arrests Likely. Members of the prohibition enforce- ment force of the police department, assisted by revenue officers, displayed an activity the past week which re- sulted in numerous arrests and the seizure of large quantities of alleged intoxicants. One costly automobile also was taken, and it probably will be confiscated in event of a conviction of its occupants, who were arrested for the allegel illegal transportation of whisky. Included in the arrests were sev- eral merchants who, it is charged. of- fered bitters, fruit extracts and hard cider for sale, some of the cider con- taining 15 per cent alcohol. It is said that the police and revenue agents have concluded to continue their fight on places where alleged substi- tutes for liquor are openly sold, or ‘where they are dispensed under cover. Ruling May Be Aske: Members of the Anti-Saloon League have contended that the sale of liquids containing more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol, except om pre- scription, was in vioiation of the Vol- stead enforcement law. Sales of cer- tain alleged intoxicants, not for be: erage purposes, it is stated, was held by government officials not to be a violation of the law. It was further contended by the ‘Anti-Saloon League officials that the Bale of intoxicants by persons other than registered pharmacists consti- tuted an evasion of the law, assert- ing that most of the sales were made o persons who wanted them for bev erage purposes. It is more than like- 1y that officers of the new administra- tion will be asked for a ruling on the question. Police officials and internal revenue agents are going ahead with their raids on persons who are ‘engaged in the sale of certain extracts and other preparations containing alcoho! in ! sufficient quantities to induce intoxi- 'cation, and many raids probably will be made during the next few days. Seizures for Week. In a report to the superintendent of police of the work done by the police the past week the arrests and seiz- ures are given by precincts as fol- lows: Precinct 5 quarts of w 1—Three arrests; sky seized. Precinct No. 2>—Two arrests. Precinct No. 3—Three arrests; 48 quarts of whisky 4 barrels of cider. 40 cartons of extracts and 359 bottles of extracts seized. arrest; Precinct No. 4—Seven arrests: 261 gallons of cider. 3 bottles of bitters, 2% pints of gin. 12 gallons of al- cohol, 3 pints of whisky and 160 bot- tles of extracts seized. Precinct No. 5—One L quart of whisky seized. Precinct No. 6—Two arrests; 3% quarts of whisky seized. Precinct No. 8—Six arrests: 40 quarts of gin, 11 quarts of whisky, 130 quarts of various alcoholic bev erages and 25 bottles of jamaica singer. 2 Precinct No. 9—Four arrests; 97 pints of whisky seized. It is planned by the police and revenue agents to continue the raids in an effort to reduce the number of places where alleged intoxicants may be purchased without the formality of obtaining prescriptions. Maj. Gess- ford and revenue agents aiso are going to make an effort to bring the liquor cases to early trial, believing that nothing short of jail sentences have the effect of ending much of the traffic in intoxicants.

Today's | article deals with the pro | department of ‘education = aclence. The propoxed new de- | partment of public health will be discussed tomorrow. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Establishment of a new department of education and science is urged by those in closest touch with matters of education and is recommended to the joint congressional committee on reclassification by Government Research. The national government now is en- | gaged in the prosecution of scientific rescarch on a wide scale. There is reely a field of knowledge that it has not entered. There is, moreover, o class of endeavor undertaken by it that rqceives a more cordial sup- port from the public. If the desira- bility of the government engaging in such work was ecver questional all doubts were put aside by the experi- ence of the world war. Had the gov ernment not had at hand its numerous scientific_services it would have been j difficult for it to have met the many scientific problems that confronted it in the successful prosecution of that conflict. The aid that they can ren- in promoting the arts of peace is becoming more and more ap: reater Unity Needed. Cordial the approval of the { Rovernment engaging in activities of this kind, the feeling has long Been strong, both inside and outside the government. that conditions as re: gards organization for the prosecu- tion of this work are far from satis- factory. Not only are the services whose primary function is scientific Iresearch scattered throughout the ad- ministrative organization without ref- erence to any consistent plan, but scientific investigations are being pros- ecuted on an extensive scale by other rvices as a collateral or incidental ture of their other duties, often without due regard as to whether such services are essential to the per- formance of the functions for which they were established, their qualifica- tions in the way of plant or personnel for such work, or work being done along similar lines by other services. Way to Correct Conditions. The Institute for Government Re- search warns Congress that this con- dition of affairs can be corrected in| but one way—by the recognition of scientific research as one of the specific functions of the national gov- ernment - and _the creation of a separate department to have it in charge. It recommends that the fol- lowing services be transferred to such new departmen (1) Bureau of education, (2) federal board for vocational education, (3) e e e atishittetin et o NS OAKS IN ROCK CREEK PARK BEING SPARED Cutting Down of Chestnut Trees Attacked by Blight Has Given False Impression. Officials in charge of Rock Creek Park today corrected an impression that had arisen in the minds of users of the park that many of the massive oak trees there are being chopped down. 5 Approximately 5.000 huge chestnut trees are being removed, it was stated, because the chestnut blight that be- gan in 1910 is gradually Killing them. It Is believed the cutting down of these trees gave rise to the report that some of the oaks were being re- moved. Officials of the park declared they have no intention of touching the oaks. A small number of pine trees also are being cut down, it was said, be- cause they are interfering with the growth of cedars. It is the intention of park offictals to plant young trees in place of the old chestnuts that have to be cut down. The fallen trees are being cut up for lumber, and some of them are being used for the building of fences and railings throughout the park. LOSES $1,300 IN CASH. State Department Agent Reports Theft at Ebbitt Hotel.

Wayne B. Wheeler Wants Enforce- ment Machinery Left as It Is. Opposition to any change in_ gov- ernment machinery for the enforce- ment of prohibition other than an in- crease in powers of the Department of Justice to control criminal prose- cution was voiced by General Coun- sel Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti- Saloon League, in a formal statement issued last night.

Emphasis is laid on the fact that the proposed new department does not carry with it anything ap- proaching an attempt to concentrate n a single department the perform- ance of all scientific research work of the government. It is proposed to consolidate and co-ordinate those which have as their prime, if not ex- clusive, function the acquisition and diffusion of knowledge. They have no function of administering a body | of substantive law. They are thus in no case part of the government machinery for the administration of | law. such as the land office, bureau of internal revenue, etc. They are research institutions pure and simple. It is proposed, however, that the |new department should act as a con- | tracting agency for the undertaking jof scientific inquiries on behalf of jother departments. Presumably, it | would be better equipped, as regards iboth plant and personnel, tian the purely administrative services for many lines of research work. It is_also recommended trat pro- vision be made for centralizing in this new department information regard- ing the scientific work being prose. cutgd by all agencies of the govern- meht. Education Under Same Head. Special stress is also placed on the reason for a union of education and science in the same department. The |reason is that what is meant by science in naming this department is seientic research, and the function of the national government in respect to education is almest wholly trat of educational research. The national government does not take responsi- bility for administering an educa- tional system. The existing bureau of education, therefore, is, properly speaking, a service for scientific re- search, and as such finds its proper place alongside ’ther scientific re- search agencies.
