Toronto, Ont., Jan. 5 M—A des- patch to the Globe today from Ot- tawa says: “One hundred million dollars’ worth of alcoholic beverages has been amuggled from Canada to the United States since the anti-smug-! gling treaty between the two coun- tries was signed less than five yea ago. The fllicit traffic has steadily increased until this year it has ex- ceeded $30,000,000." Conference Monday The despatch adds that for this reason United States eoastguard and prohibition officials are en route to Ottawa to confer with Canadian of- ficlals concerning possible revision of the treaty. The conference will open Monday. The despatch gives the following tables of exports of Canadian alco- holic beverages by recent fiscal Total $14,854,175 16,225,533 21,207,777 1927 24,838,053 1928 27,287,137 The despatch adds: “To these figures must be added re-exports from Canada of Scotch whiskeys, French winesetc. In the last fiscal year these totalled to the United States, $7,439,741." Another Story The Globe in another story today says: “Recent organized cffort of the big booze interests to induce the On- tario liquor control board to sell di- rect for the export trade has met with flat failure.” The board refused to have any- thing to do with the proposition and gave warning that it would not be approached on the matter again. The Globe addi “The booze men also assured the board that under their proposed arrangement they would take care of all shipments from the board’s storehouse to points of destination and the expense per- taining thereto; and that they would lay off the Quebec booze which is now said to be coming into Ontaria into large quantities and being short-' circuited in many instances to find ready sale, particularly along' the Detroit waterfront.” Fabulous Prices According to the Globe the man who approached the board said that “American customers” were pre- pared to pay “fabulous” prices for “good safe brands” end that the Ontario liquor control board would be paid more than regular prices.

MORE THAN 1,500 SEATERS AT STANLEY QUARTER POND| Park Department Encountering Difficulties In Freezing Park of ‘Willow Brook Plot. Morg than 1200 skaters were on the pond at Btanley Quarter park last night, according to Park Super- intendent Clyde Ellingwood. About 200 more were on the wading pool at Walnut Hill park. It may require a week of freezing weather to make Willow Brook park suitable for skating, Mr. Ellingwood stated today. The sun yesterday afternoon shining on the ice on Me- morial field had all the effects of an early March thaw, and undid some of the work of the night before. Park employes who spent Thurs- day night running water into a tem- porarily constructed pond, will be re- quired to run several more inches of | water on top of the now partially frosen ice. If the water does not take the frost out of the ground, all will be well. If the water, being warmer than the frozem ground, thaws the ground, the experiment will be a failure and must be tried again. If cold weather continues and the water freezes, within a week there will be some skating at the park. The board of park commissioners will hold a regular meeting next Tuesday evening.

Frankiin, L Jan. 5 ® — The scheduled ‘hanging of Mrs. Ada Bonner Lebouef and Dr. Thomas E. Dreher became still more confused today when Governor Long an- nounced at Baton Rouge that he had cancelled his instructions to Sheriff Pecot not to procced with the exe- cutions. “I have asked the state supreme court for instructions in the mat- ter,” the governor said. “I have di- rected the sheriff to disregard my previous orders.” 8herift Pecot sald today, when in- formed of the governor's statement, that he had not decided whether to proceed with the hanging later to- duy as originally ordered. “I am awaiting further instruc- tions from the governor and the supreme court,” he announced. The sheriff was placed in a per- plexing situation last night when Chief Justice Charles A. O'Neill of the Louisiana supreme court order ed a stay of execution and four as- moclate justices directed the sherif to carry out the exequtions. A reprieve granted by Governor Long early today, however, seemed to clarify the asituation, but it be- came more involved when he re- scinded his previous instruction. Franklin, La., Jan. 5.—®—Gov- ernor Hyey P. Long early today granted a reprieve for Ada Bonner Lebouet and Dr. T. E. Dreher, who were to hang today for the murder ‘|ot James J. Lebouef, her husband, and shortly after announced that he had cancelled the reprieve, thereby throwing the famous case into great confusion. The governor telephoned Sheriff Pecot from Baton Rouge to cease preparations for the double hanging until after court litigation over a legal snarl Involving appointment of a sanity commission is disposed of. Later his announcement of can- cellation came which leaves the status of the couple at an undeter- mined point. governor a as to whether the couple should be hanged for the murder of the wom- an's hushand had entered the case. The disagreement was among mem- bers of the supreme court. Chief Justice Charles A. O'Neiil ordered that the executions be stayed, while four assocjate Jjustices notified 8heriff Charles Pecot to proceed with the hanging, which had been set for three o'clock this morning. Rift in Court The rift in the supreme court seemingly had shifted the fate of Mrs. Lebouef and Dr. Dreher into the hands of Sheriff Pecot. The sheriff carly today prior to the re- ceipt of Governor Long's reprieve had said he had not decided whether or not the exccutions would be car- ried out. And that he ‘would not make up his mind until he reccived official coplies of the orders from the supreme court justices, The division of opinion in the supreme court was the second rift in (Continued on Page 15) UST WMISSED wou, " AN Il Prior to the repricve issued by the..! dramatic disagreement ' Y W ENVE WILL THEY HANG?

D and his colleagues in the lature have already expressed |their opposition. The suggested change has been cussed at great length at every nceting of the charter revisers. The bill, as it is to go to the general as- Isembly, reads: roposed Amendment “No special appropriation, not in- cluded in the appropriations pro- [vided for in the tax laid to meet the appropriations made at the be-| ginning of the year, for any public |works or improvement which shall his idea being to interest residents ' tee that an inquiry is going forth for thousand dollars shal be valid and of the city in the workings of the the purpose of placing the blame for |eff several departments. lust as par- | ents of school children mingle with the teachers in associations which have been successful in this city for | a number of years, he would have the officials and employes of the city meet the public and discuss the management of the affairs of the municipality. | Broaching his idea at the meet- ! ing of the salary committee last that comparatively few taxpayers have the slightest conception of the | scope of the duties of the various city officials and employes, in fact, he declared that there were men in the common council who do not know the location of the health de- | partment, building dcpartment or: other department in th: eity. build- “A citizen with whom 1 was ing only the other day did not | know anything about the position of deputy town and ity clerk, and when T brouzht him up and had him shown what is done in the office, he was greatly surprised,” he said. Although Councilman Sablotsky has not decided on the steps to be talen to further his idea, he believes a campaign of cducation through the newspzpers would arouse some inter- cst in the city government, and on inspection nights the public would be welcome to go through the city building, visiting the various depart- ments and having explained the routine.

He incurred the enmity of some people who thought he whittled too closely and 1 will admit that many times he seemed to be driving a pretty hard bargain, but T know he always did it with the interests of the taxpayers in mind.” The recommended increases in the public works department, outlined by the chairman and the engincer, were as follows: City engineer, $4, 250 to $5,000; superintendent of sewers, $3,100 to $3.300; superin- tendent of streets, $2,200 to $3,000; clerk of the board, $ first stenographer, $1,200 to §1, toreman of filter beds, $1,500 to $2.- 000; paymaster and clerk, §35 to $37 per week; second sten pher, $16.50 to $18.50 per week; inspector of concrete and sewers, $42 to $44 per week; Inspector of concrete, $£30 to $32; superintendent of subways, (Continued on Page 16) a; by Knight ARESTS DECLINE BY ITO (N YEAZ— whi ORDING TO CHIFF HART'S FIGURES THE FIGEES SKRINK STiL MORE 7 N C.
