SHUEELERS B QUEK .. AN High Treasury Officials in Charge on East and West Coasts. COAST GUARD ON ALERT Tariff Evaders Cause Anxiety Along With Rum-Run- ning Activity. Indications were given by the Treas- ury yesterday that a new effort had been started to check smuggling. Although official comment was with- held, it appearcd that redoubled en- ergy was being put forward to cur- tail the illegal bringing into this country of liquor and narcotics, as well as to str sthen the vigilance agalnst smuggling of merchandise. i | Clifford Goes South. Assistant Secretary Clifford left Senator Scores New York Plea For Beer Again by the legislature of New York of a memorlal request- ing Corgress to legalize the manu- facture and sale of light wines and beer was characterized in the Senate yesterday by Senator Shep- pard, democrat, Texas, as an “as- sault on the Constitution”” He added that it was “a camouflaged effort, for political effect in the wet districts, to make the thirsty believe they can secure what they want.” Mr. Sheppard read a list of thirty-seven states, which, he sald, had reaffirmed their adherence to the federal prohibition statutes by adopting state codes. So long as more than three-fourths of the states were in the list, he declared, it was “an indefensible folly” to attempt to legalize wines and beer. “Friends of the elghteenth amend- ment will meet this challenge in the next session,” he predicted.

EXPECT TO ACT TUESDAY Even Without Tags, If Decision Is Adverse, Motorists Coming Here Likely to Be Registered. Doubt as to the legality of I'equir-! ing visiting motorists to display a dal tag their cars while in Washington under reciprocity agree- ments with the states has arisen In the minds of District officials, it was learned last night hese special tags, which bear only the word “registcred,” have been ordered from a factory in Chicago, | are cxpected to arrive within a | on and stocd, however, that the their board meet- ing on Tuesday will be asked to re- c der the matfer of putting them into use, in view of the uncertainty which h been brought to light as to_the right to require them Even if the city heads decide Tues- day that they are forbidden by act of " Congress to place tags on’ out- | of-town cars, it is probable that visiting motorists still will be re- quired to go to the traffic bureau and | within three days after their #s now required by the traf- Provisions of 1917 Law. An act of Congress approved March 3,1917, gives an out-of-town driver the right to remain In the District| without obtaining a local license for | the same length of time that Wash- | ingt ians are allowed to remain in the s understood to be the view of | some District officlals that the plac- | ing of a special “registered” tag on | the cars of legal residents of other states during the pericd of reciproc- would be a violation of the act of Congre: Of course, if a motorist remains in the District beyond the period of reci- procity he must obtain District tags. The police department Sought au- thority from the Commissioners to place a special tag on out-of-town cars for the perlod of reciprocity So that they could tell when that period was up and thereby prevent persons from op- erating in Washington indefinitely on foreign tags. The traffic bureau’s plan is to stamp on the register tag the date on which the reciprocity expires. Then, if @ mo- torist attempted to live here permanent- Iy on a foreign tag, any policeman could tell by a glance at the date on the tag whether the period of reciproci- ty had expired. Present Practice. At present the visitor goes to the traffic bureau, leaves his name and address and finds out how long he may remain here without tags. But after he leaves the traffic bureau the police have no means of knowing wheth- er he overstays his time unless they stop and question every driver they see with foreign tags. When the use of a small special tag was first proposed, the Commissioners thought of charging 50 cents for it Corporation Counsel Stephens held that the collection of such fee would be clearly a violation of free reciprocity. Then it was agreed by the Commis- sioners to order the special tags, but to issue them to visitors without charge. Now District officials are advised that it is a violation of the reciprocity law to require even a free tag. A definite decision on the entire ques- tion is expected to be reached this week by the Commissioners. POSTAL TELEGRAPH CO. TO AID FUND FOR FRENCH Plans Campaign for ]\ioney to Help American Committee for Relief of Devastated France. The Postal Telegraph Company will start a campaign March 12, through- out the United States to secure money for the continuance of the work of the American Committee for Relief of Devastated France. Miss Irene Watkins, receiving clerk at the New York main office and one of the oldest employes of the Postal system, has been nominated the or- ganization’s candidate for a place on the Good WiIl Delegation which will be sent to France as the result of a popularity contest, in which a large number of commercial enterprises have entered candidates, and which will be carried out under the au- spices of the American Committee for Devastated France. The possibility of the Postal sys- tem sending a second delegate to the Good Will delegation will make it probable for a candidate to be nomi- nated from Washington as the sec- ond selection will_come to a district outside of New York securing the greatest number of votes and percent- age to their average receipts. L. A. Bickerton, has been elected chairman and C. 8.

Increasing control of the mixed fertilizer Dbusiness of the United States by a few large companies, with price to the consumer fixed through virtually uniform contracts, placing retailers in the position of agencies, was reported to_the Senate yesterday by the Federal Trade Com- mission. The report, which was submitted in compliance with a resolution by Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, also said control of three essential materials entering into the manufac- ture of commercial fertilizers was highly concentrated—nitrate of soda by Chilean interests, potash by Ger- man and French interests, and sul- phate of ammonia by the American Coal Products Company. Save by Co-Operation. The commission described the co- operative buying of fertilizer as the most important factor in lowering the price, with the bulk of sales in the New England and middle western sections. being made through farm- ers' purchasing organizations. The larger companies have been forced to recognize co-operative buying, the report declared, while some have fnaugurated direct selling to farm organizations despite opposition from dealers, whose business has decreased as a result of the development of such trade The president of one of the largest fertilizer companies was quoted as estimating that in 1921 co-operative buying in certain middle western sections saved farmers $5,000,000, and the commission added that the scheme had reached the stage where it must be regarded as a “permanent factor” in the fertilizer industry. Two Companies Dominant. Although census bureau figures! for 1921 showed 588 establishments en- gaged in the manufacture of fer- tilizer in the United States, the re- port deciared, the American Agricul- tural Chemical Company dominates the industry In the northern section of the country and the Virginia- Carolina_Chemical Company in the south. Their combined output was placed at approximately a third of the nation’s production, and the com- mission added that they, with the International Agricultural Corpora- tion, F. S. Royster Guano Company Armour Fertilizer Works, Swift Co. and the Baugh companies and their subsidiaries, produced and sold about 65 per cent of the fertilizer used in the United States in 1921, as compared with 58 per cent in 1916. The large companies, the report continued, dispose of the bulk of their product through retailers by means of the consignment form of contract. The seven companies in 1921 produced and sold 3,373,304 of the 5,000,000 tons of mixed fertilizer manufactured in that year, and, omit- ting the Swift business, 'which, the commission said, appeared to be only a division of Swift & Co., packers, their combined capitalization was more than $200,000.000, with 167 sub- sidiaries under their control.

This is the one most important thing to accomplish. The safety of the child, of course, is the prime consideration. When tomp, | We consider that 90 per cent of the| ninety-seven children killed by acci- dents in Washington last year were not killed at school or on the way to or from school, but were killed in and around home, largely because they were not properly Instructed and supervised, we appreciate the need of arousing the mothers to the necessity of carefully Instructing their children. Accident Toll Decreased. Never in the history of community life, nor since the early ploneer days, has any such menace as the automo- bile stalked right up to our very doors and theratened the lives of our children. The child of today is born into an environment filled with haz- ards and problems never dreamed of fifty years ago. To equip our chil- dren {0 cope with these hazards and 10 preserve their lives and limbs is the first duty of every mother and teacher. The police records of accidents In Washington during January, 1923, show only two accidental deaths to hildren, as compared with an aver- age of eight deaths each month last vear. This is encouraging, and doubt- less is largely due to the awakened interest on the part of parents and teachers since Safety Week. A definite plan has been worked out by the women's committee of the Washing- ton Safety Council to secure the ac- tive participation of every woman's organization In the city in this cam- paign for safety. The committee is mailing monthly | to the president of each woman's club a report containing the analysis, by causes, of the accident experience in Washington for the previous month. They are asking that this report be read at each regular meeting. Will Instruct Children. Each club is also requested to ap- point a committee on safety to de- vise ways and means by which the club may co-operate in the safety campalgn, especially directing its ef- forts toward reaching the mothers and securing their interest in teach- ing their children safety. Speakers will be provided by a speakers bureau of the council, and cach club is requested to arrange for at least one safety program with a speaker during the next three months. | The experience of other cities has revealed the fact that one-third of all that can be done to reach the adult population will be done through the influence of the children who have been instructed in safety. Therefore, any work done by women to reach the homes will direct- 1y contribute to the arousing of the entire population to a new interest and & new consclence regarding the protection of human life. RUSSIAN GRAIN SHIP ARRIVES IN GERMANY By the Associated Press.
