By the Associated Press ROM ebruary 13.—The practice of providing religious exercises for the Roman police, which was discontinued in 1870, at the time of the breach be- tween the Vatican and the Italian state, has been vevived. This is in- terpreted in Rome as another signifi- cant indicatfon that & rapprochment ::filween church and state is impend- ng. While the exercises are not com- pulsory, the practice has been mccept- ed universally by the police of the capital, and is being applied to the new force of metropolitan police, of whom Rome, under Gov.

They were of the opinion that numerous mines which went into ®ction during the anthracite tie-up to 7ake advantage of heavy demand, Mould be affected bv the settlement. Southern West Virginia operators lexpressed the belief that the resump- tlon in the anthracite fleld would have # steadving effect in this fleld. Fairmont operators saw 1in the mnthracite settlement heavy de- crease in the production of egg-size coal there. much of which had re- ylaced anthracite during the tie-up. Georze Brackett, one of the leading prodicers, suid “the anthracite strike did very little (o stimulate business pere.” A gradual decrease. finally feaching normal production of between 5,800 and 1,900 cars a day is expected in the field.

Some 400 men and women gath- ered in the banquet hall of the City Club last night to pay tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln and, with the immortal words of the great Emancipator, to call America back to an era of better law en forcement and more sincere law ob servance. Without dissenting voice, the diners enthusia Ny pledsed themselves to fixht for perpetuation of the eighteenth smendment to the Constitution. Although tie sponsors pointed in not ing Navy Wilbur as the honor and a number of Government officials either fnconvenient to be pre not had time to prepure speeches to be read, several Government officers in whosc hands has been intrusted enforcement of the prohibition law were present and pledged their ut most to see that the eighteenth smendment is respected so loniz as it remaing a part of the Constitution. vere disap etary of nest of other his found had S it Bishop Freeman Speaks. Right Ttev. James E. Freeman, Bish- op of Washington, roused the assem bled diners to the very peak of enthu sm when hé delivered a strong ad; dress that seemed to flay the recent attacks of the Temperance Board of the Protestant Episcopal Church on the Volstead act. Bishop Freeman de clared that “any utterance that comes from the Episcopal Church that is au thoritative must come from the volce of its great legislative Lady, the House of Bishops, and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies'’ “I confess chagrin and humilia- tion,” Bishop Freeman added. “that any man of any church should call in question any law. It is not our business to question the law or the lawmaker: it is our business to obey it. My word to you is: Don't spend your hours questioning the value or wisdom of the law, but look to it that you are strengthening the moral char- acter of the people, for without that, all law is futile.” Holds Lincoln Bible. Bishop Freeman held in his hand during his brief address a tattered Bible, which, he explained. had be longed to Abraham Lincoln, and in which the vouth Lincoln his name at the age of 10 v was this book,” Bishop tinued, “that was the g aith of the man whose memory we are here to_honor tonight.” Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, As sistant Secretary of the Treasury, in charge of prohibition enforcement, de- clared that the police forces of the Government can arrest dry law viola tors, but their punishment remains with the courts. Unless that punish ment is “certain, prompt and real d. “thers is 1o hope of creating proper resj for the la “The citizen can help,” drews tinued. by developing public opinion which will popu law observance, and he can se that his own local affuirs and « faithfully meet their responsib for local law enforcement. IHe will thus weaken the enemy bootlegger by cutting off his market, and strength en the arm of Government by reliey- ing it of the burden of local police work, “When the people wrote the eight- eenth amendment, the Federal and State governments signed a joint note for its enforcement. They assumed this obligation as partners. Good citi- zens may well interest themselves in seeing that their community is good sport_enough (o live up o this obli gation.

I do not believe that any community really wants the Federal Government to step in and enforce the law locallv. “The Federal Government is mar- shaling its resources to meet honestly its obligation. The Coast Guard is well under way and has already per- formed splendidly in breaking up the notorfous rum row and in reducing materially the amount of liguor im ported from overseas. The Customs Service has developed a facility for co operation with the Coast Guard. We are training all our forces, with here and there a smart skirmish; lesuing new instructions and regulations as experience teaches: getting laws that will work to the advantage of Govern- ment rather than the bootlegger: de veloping treaties with our neighbors to prevent smuggling: learning how to work successfully with the judicial machinery. and in every known way getting In shape for & successtul cam- palgn.” John R. Mahoney was introduced to the diners as a man who had once gone to the White House to see Lin- coln personally on the subject of pro- hibition. Mr. Mahoney said he was 15 years old at the time and & mem- ber of the Sons of Temperunce. After discussing temperance for awhile, Mr. Mahoney said Lincoin raised his hand above his head and exclaimed: “The next great question before the Amer. ican people will be the liquor traff Mr. Mahoney, now 78, gald he was glad to have lived to see Lincoln's prophecy fulfilled. Refers to Immigration. Assistant Secretary of Labor W. W. ‘Husband was to have read a speech prepared by Secretary Davis. He ex plained, however, that Mr. Davis had been so busy that he could not get around to the address, but Mr. Hus- band spoke extemporaneously instead. He pointed out that the immigration law had been enforced with & mini- mum of troubie, and he expressed a belief that, given the same public sup- port. the prohibition laws could be similarly enforced. Rear Admiral Frederick C. Billard, commandant of the Coast Guard, de- clared that his men had been or- ‘dered to prevent the smuggling of liquor into the United States from the sea. ‘They did not question why.” he ®ald. “They had not even voted on the subject of prohibition They simply said, ‘Aye, aye, sir,’ and salled away to do the job. Since that time, Admiral Billard said, traf- fic in liquor from the sea has been cut at least 80 per cent and, given the ships and men he promised, the Coast Guard would make it 100 per cent. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Duniop sald that time would bring “the right result,” and, “like the slave question. which its opponents kept alive long after the emancipa- tion proclamation, so will the matter of prohibition find its proper place in time.” Mr. Dunlop said there can be no doubt that the farmers stand firm for the eighteenth amend- nient. Representative PBarklev of Kentucky added that there need be no fears of Congress repealing the amendment. Message From Coolidge. Messages were read from President Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg and others. The President. pressed for some personal message to the diners, sent the tribute to Lincoln con- tained in his proclamation of 1918, when he was Governor of Massachu-; setts.

And in accord ance with this sentiment our laws have provided for a formal recogni- tion of the birthday of Abraham Lin- coln, for in him is revealed our ideals, the hope of our country fulfilled.” Kellogg Sends Letter. Mrs. Cabot Stevens read the follow- ing letter from Secretary Kellogg: “Dear Mrs. Stevens: “l greatly regret that a conflicting dinner engagement will not permit me to accept the kind invitation which you courteously extended dur- ‘ng your recent visit to the Depart- ment of State, to attend the Lincoln day dinner to be held at the City Club in Washington for the purpose of encouraging the observance of law. 1 would not wish, however, to let the occasion pass without an expression of my entire sympathy with this worthy purpose and will be glad if you will make this sympathy known to those who may assemble on the occasion. “It i3 most appropriate that a din- ner given in the interest of law ob- servance should take place on the annfversary of the birth of that great American who was 80 punctilious him self in his respect for law as to re fuse his legal services in defense of cases where he discerned a willful dis regard of law, and whose life was the sacrifice offered for the preservat of the integrity of the supreme la: l_f th land—the Constitution of the United States.

WILKINS SETS Judge Mary S SAI FOR ARCTIC FLIGHT; SNOW MOTORS FAIL PROPLSEDDRY UNT CHANGE 1 RGED Andrews Favors Cramton Bill for Creation of Inde- pendent Bureau. The report on the Crampton bill to separate the work of the prohibition unit from the internal revenue and place it under the Secretary of the Treasury as an independent unit was received today by Chairman Graham of the House judiciary committee from Assistant Secretary L. C. Andrews of the Treasury Depirtment Mr. Andrews pointed out that the Crampton bill was introduced at the request of the department and that the department favors its enactment fnto law. Ile suid it Is considered quite essential to efficiency that the work of the prohibition unit be sep- arated from the Bureau of Internal Revenue and placed under the Secre- tary in an independent burewu organ- ized under a commissioner of prohi- bition very much as is the Bureau of Internal Revenue under its commis- stoner. This facilitates the present Treasury Department organization, by which the activities of the prohi bition unit, customs and the Coast Guard are placed under the super vision of one assistant secretary, who may thus co-ordinate their work so far as it concerns enforcement of the prohibition law In the meantime the Treasury De. partment, wishing to organize a sep arate bureau for customs as well as a separate bureau for prohibition, has had prepared a bill for this purpose which will be sent to Congress as a department measure and which, if en acted into law, will serve the same purpose for prohibition, but will at the same time have accomplished a much- deslred reorganization of customs as well, Assistant Secretary Andrews ad- vises the judiclary committee.

Some critictsm has been directed against the House of Representatives, and espectally against the committes on interstate and forelgn commerce, for not having attempted to take action of some kind to bring about an earlier settiement. “At the opening of this Session of Congress the President, In his annual message. recommended certain legis lation which would have the effect of extending the present powers of the executive branch of the Government with reference to mediation in future labor disputes in the coal mining in dustry.

A last-minute effort by sdministra- tion leaders to restore the tax on ad missions and dues to the bill failed on a vote of 40 to 27, 14 Republicans join- ing the aimost solid Democratic line- up in reafirming the previous 36 to 34 vote of the Senate for repeal of the tax. Another vote on repeal of the in- heritance tax found the Senate divided 40 to 3 in support of its former ac- tion in eliminating the levy. Agreed to by Both. Both the Senate and the House agreed on the following general pro- visions, which, therefore, are sure to become law: Repeal of the law allowing publica- tion of the amounts of income tax payments. An Increase in the personal exemp. tions from the income tax from $1,000 to $1 for single persons and from 2,500 to $3,500 for married persons, which will relieve 2,300,000 Feder: taxpayers of all taxes. Reduction of the normal income tax rates from 2 to 1% per cent on the first $4,000 of taxable income, from 4 to 3 per cent on the next $4.000 and from 6 10 b per cent on the remainder. Reduction in the maximum surtax of 40 per cent applying on amounts in excess of $300,000 to 20 per cent on the amounts of income in excess of $100,000, with corresponding reduc tions on the lower rates of the grad uated surtax schedule which now starts at 1 per cent at $10,000. Earned Income Increase. An Increase from $10,000 to $20.000 in the amount of income to which the 25 per cent reduction on acconunt of ‘‘earned income” may be applied.

It was defeated, 57 to 6. Deecribing the amendment 1s a fair proposal, Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, told the Senate, “You have made it impossible to be. just because you have been too generous.
