h = HAYNES APPROVES NEW AR ON RUM Says Dry Unit Will Need ,Same Appropriation De- spite Coast Guard. Announcing his approval of the I Treasury's new program to double the strength of the coast guard to War on rum. smugglers, Prohibition Commissloner Haynes last night de- clared that while it would “greatly strengthen the hand of the prohibition unit, it would not change the prohibi- tion unit's request for appropriations for the year ending June 30, 1925, now before the bureau of the budget.” Mr. Haynes would not reveal wheth- er he had been informed by Director Lord of the bureau of the budget, cf the final amount allotted to the pro- hibitlon unit, but sald he welcomed ) the coast guard program decided upon ) by Treasury officials. Convinced of Wisdom. The prohibition unit had been fully advised of the progress of the tenta- tive plan, Mr. Haynes said, and was ‘ convinced that the coast guard was the proper arm of the government service upon which to spend the most rioney in a vigorous attempt to rid the the American coast of rum run- vers. The new coast guard program will call for appropriations aggregating about $28,500,000, with which to more than double the number of boats and to largely increase the person- nel of the service. How this estl- mate will be presented to Congress was uncertain last night. But the ‘plan, having already received the approval of President Coolidge, was expected efther to be included In the 1925 budget at the last moment or sent to Congress as a supplementary Pproposal. The question has heen before Di- rector Lord of the budget bureau, but his decislon has been withheld. Projected Several nths. The program has been under con- sideration for several months, during which the views of coast guard of- cers from all important districts on the eastern and southern seaboards have been obtained. An official report dealing with the proposals refers to Jthe heavy burdens imposed on the coast guard by its duties in combat- ing rum smuggling that these burdens are steadily increasing. “But the coast guard can stop al- most entirely the importation of in- ‘toxicating liquors ipto the United States from the sea if it be allowed the appropriations to obtain and maintaln ships and boats and to in- grease its force as proposed.” the report says. “It probably will be im- possihle to prevent absolutely the importation of all liquor and there always will be cases where small quantities are smuggled ashore, but such cases will be sporadic and ex- ceptional and the quantities involved trivial. The coast guanl can do this, but it.can do it only it its resources J/®re augmented as suggested.” — and asserts Phil Sheridan Relief Corps will have inspection Tuesday, 7: GranHl Army Hall, Henry W.

The man was Quentin V. McCulley, twenty-two, of 730 Minnesota avenue southeast. 'He shot himself in the abdomen with a revolver Friday, ac- cording to the police, in a despondent state because of his failure to obtain work. His condition became so weakened at Casualty Hospital yesterday, that physiclans declared blood transfu- sions the only hope for saving his life. Hugh McCulley, a brother of the wounded man, and a professional sel- ler of blood, gave comparatively large amounts of the life stream during the late afternoon yesterday, and at a late hour last night physicians at the hospital were holding out strong hopes for his recovery.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON Magnetic Observatory Set Up - In Eskimo I gloo by Explorers Scientists in MacMillan’s Party Will Try To Find Force That Deviates Com- pass Needle From True North. BY HAROLD K. PHILLIPS. Carrying gamely on in the centuries- old search for the powerful unseen force that is pulling the needle of the once supposedly trustworthy compass to point almost everywhere but true north, a stalwart little band of determined men has locked it- self up in the lonely white wastes of the frozen arctic circle for the winter, hunting again for some clue that may lead it to the powerhouse of that mysterious energy. It s composed of members of Dr. Donald B. MacMillan's expedition into north Greenland. Tonight the men are camped with him on the bleak shores of Refuge Harbor, within less than 12 degrees of 'the geographical north pole itself, existing on the frugal winter fare of the northland in the flush of their quest for that veritable golden fleece of sclence which, if it is discovered, may revo- lutionize many things out here in the_civilized world. ot only would a_solution of the mystery of atmospheric electricity and terrestrlal magnetism be an epochal contribution to the advance- ment of science, but It is pointed out that progress along that line probably would also ve significant bearings on some of the present most pressing problems of radle commu- nication. To go still further, it is highly possible that some important improvements might also result in other kinds of electrical instruments. In Sclentific Observatory. Housed In a sclentifically con- structed observatory, where they re- celve more care than the most pam- pered babe might expect, a serles of highly polished little instruments are doing the real work in their quiet, ever-efficlent way. They are under the personal direction of Richard H. Goddard of the department of ter- restrial magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who was appointed by Dr. Louis A. Bauer, Girector of ‘the department, to ac- company the MacMillan expedition and assume charge of the magnetic and electrical observations. Because of the serious effect on the instruments of large or sudden tem- perature changes, every precaution has been taken to make sure that the temperature within the observa- tory, although it is located in th very heart of the arctic, shall be kept uniform throughout the winter. It is constructed of specially pre- pared lumber, shipped all the way from Maine on Dr. MacMlillan's ship, The structure {s pro- vided with numerous dead-air spaces to reduce temperature variations each wall is covered inside and out by warm quilts, surrounded by an- other house of stone and finally com- pletely encased in an Eskimo igloo, or_snow house.

The Refuge Har- bor observatory instruments, hov- ever, are electrically lighted, the necessary apparatus to provide thé “julce” having been shipped with the timber, Needle Deviates. At the present time the needle of the compass polnts efther east or west of north by an angle, called declination, that varies according to the location of the point of observa- tlon. Thus, in the arctic and ant- arctic, the declination may be as great as 180 degrees. And while this declination s changing year by vear, there s also a marked variation in the degree of declination at different periods of the day. The declination has been found to be greatest Quring the hours of sunlight. Tt has also been established that the magnetic and electrical elements of this planet are frequently swept by violent storms, when the varfations often be- come many times as great as during periods of normalc: Dr. Bauer received a wireless me sage from Dr. MacMillan last Satur- day. It was picked out of the air by Jack Barnsley, an amateur operator in Prince Rupert, Canada, who is 80 intensely interested in the work of the MacMillan expedition that he watches carefully for its messages and on many occasions has relayed dispatches that would otherwise have been lost. After confirming that the observa- tory had been completed and the in- struments mounted, plorer said that the last observations taken showed the westward declina- tion of the compass at Refuge harbor to be 101 degrees away from true north and the magnetic dip to be almost 88 degrees, while the magnetic force directing the compass needle is about one-fifth only that at Wash- ington. Dr. MacMillan's message was brief, concluding with a mere “‘best regards” to Dr. Bauer and J. A. Flem- ing, assistant director of the depurt- ment of terrestrial magetism here. Although the compass now points west of true north at London, records show that in 1560 it pointed 11 a grees east of north there Yet by 1812 it declined 24 degrees west of north at the same place, & change of 35 degrees in 232 vears. For three centuries students of terrestrial mag- netism have been searching for the mysterious force that is pulling the compass needle around at will and causing the magnetic poles to change thelr positions. Observatories have been stationed all over the earth for the study of the famous ex- | 10 BE REQUESTED Bondsmen Will Go Before Judges to Ask Reconsidera- tion of Several Points. Bondsmen who have been restrained trom supplylng bonds beyond an amount double the assesscd value of their property will seek a modifica- tion of the new bonding regulaltons, it was lenrned last night. What form the request for modi- flcations will take and exactly what modifications will be asked has not yet been decided. but it is regarded as probable that a petition will be drawn up by bondsmen requesting reconsid- eration of the item in the new rule, which Iimits the Habilities. It was made clear that bondsmen desire to enter into no controversy on the case, but spokesmen for the professional bondsmen last night de- clared It was their bellef that the rulings will work hardships in many quarters gpecially on reputable citizens inadvertently in the class of temporary prisoners. The chief basis for complaint, it was stated, s that the new regula- tions preclude any business for bondsmen for at least a year in most cases. It was pointed out in addition that assessed valuation of property which has been the basis for liability of bondsmen under the new rule, in- stead of expert estimates of the mar- ket price of the property. is lower | than actual value. This gives addi- tional curtallment to the amount of bonds a bondsman may write, since if he holds property with a market value of 360,000 the tax assessors’ books are liable to contain a mark of only $50,000 assessed value. This means that whereas, under the old rule, he had a $180,000 limit for underwriting_bonds, under the new rules, the limit would be only $100,000, 44 per cent. Another point which the bondsmen are expected to bring up for re- | quested reconsideration is the ruling | that bonds cannot be placed after 11 o'ciock at night. | ZEBRA’S BITE FATAL. | Countess Hardick Dies After Visit | to Budapest Zoo.
