LIQUOR INFORMERS WILL BE KEPTHERE Woodcock Has No Intention| of Disturbing System in D. C., He Says. Although he favors gradual elimina- tlon of the paid informer in prohi- bition enforcement, Prohibition Director ‘Woodcock explained today that he had no intention of disturbing the system which has grown up here in the Dis- trict of Columbia for using informers both by Federal dry agents and police. Here in Washington, Col. Woodcock said, the Federal Government is the local government, and the prac- tice of using paid informers has been prevalent for years both among the police and among the Federal agents. he police here seem to think they need informers in their prohibition work, Col. Woodcock declared. The Prohibition Bureau has paid for the work of these informers in the past, it {\ins explained, and will continue to pay hem. Asserting that he did not inaugurate the plan of using informers, and, there- fore, was not responsible for it, Col. Woodcock said he would not ecriticize the use of informers here in this city. In other places, however, he ex- plained, the Federal Government shares with other agencies the enforcement of prohibition. and agents have developed such efficiency that it has been found informers could be gradually | eliminated. Men have been paid for | nformation which they were willing to sell to the Government, ke explained, by being put on the pay roll for sucha short time as would enable them to ¥ the Government enforce prohi- bition on the cases of which they had knowledge. | But the records will show, the pro- | hibition director said, that the use of such men declined during the past year. Less money was spent for this purpose, he said, during the past year, | than during the previous year, ‘The pay of informers, he said, ranged generally from $5 to $10 a day. | Col. Woodcock’s policy of elimination of the informer was first publicly ex- plained to the House Appropriations Committee when the prohibition di- rector predicted that their use would | gradually decrease.

HOOVER CONSENTS T00.K.ARTS PLAN Will Act at Request of Sena- | tor Fess in College Movement. President Hoover has consented to approve the liberal arts college move- ment before a_committee tomorrow at the request of Senator Fess, Republican, Ohio, who was formerly president of Antioch College, Ohio. The liberal arts movement, Senator Fess explained, is one aimed to make | more secure the place of the smaller colleges. “The small college,” said the Senator, “does not so much put the emphasis on research as it does upon the student as a personality. It stimulates ability Q think rather than to store knowl- ge.” He explained that many of the 600 small colleges of standard grade have little, if any, support by endowment or from public taxation, and that the movement was intended to establish more definitely the place of these in- stitutions in the educational world. A Weymouth, England, motorist could not remember for two days where he had parked his car, and when he re- membered he was fined for leaving it without lights and for obstructing the street.

INDIANS PLAN SUIT FOR CHICAGO LAND Tribe Meets to (laim Areas in Four States Valued at $1,000,000,000. By the Associated Press. SHAWNEE, Okla,, September 1.— Tom-toms and war whoops were sfilled, but Indians gathered, nevertheless, in council here today to plan a sortie against the whites, with the rich Gold Coast and business sections of Chicago and the vicinity as their goal. Approximately 2,000 members of the Pottawatomie tribe now resident in Oklahoma met to draft claims against the Government for lands of which they said they were deprived without adequate recompense. Seek Area in Four States. ‘They seek title to land now part of four States—Michigan, Wisconsin, Illi- nois and Indiana. The charge is that the Government cfficials of the early part of the nineteenth century drove them from their homes or forced them to sell the land piecemeal. Meeting on call of Charles Eggers, Shawnee Indian agent, at the direction of Charles J. Rhoads, Commissioner of Indian ~Affairs, the tribal fathers planned to seek permission of Congress to sue the Government for a settlement of their claims. ‘The property now is valued at sub- -stantially more than $1,000,000,000. The Indians also seek property in Pottawatomie and Cleveland Counties, Okla., their claims based on alleged violation of a trealy between the tribe and the Feleral Government entered into in 1890.
