Gen. Smedley D. Butler, in command of the Marine Corps base at Quantico, will assume the post of director of public safety in Philadel- phia for one year, under an order is- sued by President Coolldge granting him a leave of absence for that period. This announcement yesterday by Secretary Denby brought to a con- clusion the strenuous efforts of cer- tain groups in Philadelphia to lave the noted Marine officer undertake to solve the lawless situation in the Quaker City, which was described to President Coolidge last week by Mayor-elect Kendrick as serious. Gen. Butler, said Secretary Denb; would go to his task with the affec- tion and earnest good will of his as- sociates in the service. The city of Philadelphia, the Secretary continued, was to be congratulated upon secur Ing the services of “'so able an officer. Gen. Butler was to have commanded the large detachment of marines which will play a part in the coming fleet maneuvers and exercises in southern { waters, in January and February. Sec- retary ‘Denby sald that Brig. Gen. Bl K. Cole, now stationed at Paris Island, 8. C., would take Gen. Butler's place in command the ine expeditionary force for that purpose. Against Navy Policy. As a matter of service policy, the granting of leave to naval or Marine Corps officers to permit them to take up dutles wholly unrelated to the serv- ices. is opposed by high naval officers, and Secretary Denby is understood to have supported that view. There was no disagreement on the part of the Sec- retary, however, with the desire of the President that an exception shouid be made in_the case of Gen. Butler. Gen. Butler, however, has been granted leave of absence for one vear, part of which he has accumulated by taking less than the regulations al- low him, to enable him to accept the post of director of public safety of Philadelphla, and he s cxpected to take up his duties there about Jan- uary 1. Secretary Denby, in announc ing that the leave had been granted by direction of the President, said Philadelphia was to be congratulated upon obtaining the services “of able an offic Navy officla study of th y Gen | sovern years 1 MAYOR HIGHLY GRATIFIED. PHILADELPHIA, December 14.— Mayor-elect W. Freeland Kendrick expressed the greatest satisfaction when official word came to him that President Coolldge had granted Brig. Gen. Butler leave of absence to be- come director of the department of public safety in the mayor's cabinet. Mr. Kendrick become mayor next I month for four vears. The salary of {the director is $10.000 a vear. The incoming city council may increase the salary. Gen. Butler will have charge of the police and fire bureau Gen. Butler when here recently said he would not stand for political Inter- ference in conducting the department if he becams the new director and would run the hureaus on the same high plane of discipline as the Marine Corps.'

DRY ARMY AT BORDER IS OFFERED BRIBES (Continued from First Page.) against rum smugglers because of the shooting of Trooper Donivan by bandits on the bootleg trail, near Glens Falls, this fall. That shoot- ing occurred in October, and since then there has been a big jump in selzures of contraband liquor. In two and onme-half months seventy- five automobiles have been seized and lquor valued at more than $30.000 ! conflscated. The troopers, to & min— and every one is a two-fisted fighter and a crack shot—have taken a per- sonal interest in rounding up the smugglers. The troops also have thrown a scare into the bootlegging fraternity by taking their great German police dogs with them on their lonely vig-1 ils in the deep woods and along out- of-the-way trails. These dogs, care- fully trained, have a far-flung rep- ! utatfon in_this north country for fighting and the moral effect of their presence {9 obvious. One dog, Bobeat, is the specfal pet| at the barracks, for he captured & much-wanted lawbreaker at Salmon river, a man who had openly boasted | to the officers that he never would | be_caught. / 1 Federal and state authorities felt today that they had made consider- able progress in combating the flow | of liquor over the border.
