SUCLESSOR PITED BY CUSTOMS HEAD Detroiter, Retiring Under Cloud, Feels Job Was Impossible Detroit, June 28 UP—One of the “toughest jobs” in the fedewal serv- fce is the description sometimes given the post of collector of cus- toms at Detroit, which has been surrendered by Carey D. Ferguson. The post has been so called be- cause it includes responsibility for the patrolling of the Detroit river against liquor smugglers. ‘When Ferguson resigned after aix years in office, it was stated that he apparently had been unable to stop the illegal flow of liquor across the Detroit river from Canada. Ferguson retorted that he had *“no apologies to make,” and that he| sympathized with his successor, whoever he might be. ~ He pointed out that the territory under the collector’s jurisdiction ex- tended virtually 100 miles along the shore line from Port Huron almost to Toledo, Ohlo. *“I believe it un- fair to require one person to take fult responsibility for enforceing the liquor laws over the miles of river and lake border in this dis- trict,”” he said. Ferguson's resignation followed by a few weeks the publication in people’s minds there is an idea that pictures—good pictures—are priced 80 high that their purchase is be- lfln’ly doing this because in most yond the means of the ordinary fam- |ity. This is not the truth, and I hope |to be able to show it next fall” he |@eclares. [ At the present time Mr. D'Agos- itino is working on seme pictures in { Bristol in which he will depict the mechanical age as it looks to the artist. WANTS U5, HEROES IN HISTORY BOOKS National President D. of F. and P. Warns Against Deletions | Over one hundred members of Connecticut Chapter Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America gathered 'with their friends last Tuesday at S8imsbury Manor, Sims- bury for the social meeting of the organization. There was ample op- portunity to admire the gardens and roses and all were made cordially welcome by the state president, Mias Mary 8wift Whittlesey of New Britain, as well as by the hostesses of the day, Mrs. George C. Eno, Mrs. James K. Crofut, Mrs. Henry E. 1 Ellsworth and Mrs, John P. Carver. After a'bountiful luncheon, those :was Mrs. James K.

Buel, who brought greetings- from the national board. Particular at- tention should be paid to the his- tories used by our young people to see that they are not deleted of references to our wars and their heroes, she said. Miss H. P. Marsh, a delegate to the general court, told of that meet- ing last April in Washington, the largest and .most enthusiastic ever held with two new state chapters, one in Rhode Island, the other in Colorado. 42 members died last year, the most widely known being Mrs. Alice Bradford Wiles, a former natianal president. State flagg were given by Alabama, Iowa andi{Ohio with brief accounts of the réason for choosing their emblems. The state presidents all reported prog- ress. Three new councillors were elected. There were several pleasant social events connected with the general court, the outstanding one being Ihel reception at 12:30 of officers, dele- gates and members by and Mrs. Hoover. The last speaker of the afternoon President | called an amusing incident of ecarly Simsbury in her interesting paper. “The Witch of Simsbury”. “Did the witch of Simsbury go through the keyhole of the meeting house| and steal one of the communion | cups and then drown herself in the pond by the swamp? That is what rumor says."

Since all hope has been aban- | doned of having Princess Giovanna of TItaly share the throme with Joris, the problem is increasing daily and government efficials are anxiously scanning the lists of eliz- ible girls of royal blood and of non- Roman faith. In the event Boris dies without an heir, Rulgaria would be faced with the choice of selecting a for- cign prince as king or of establish- ing a republic with a president permanent head of the state. This would involve a radical change in ! the whole structure of the state. a drastic revision of the Bulgarian | constitution which has remained | unchanged for 50 years, and the scrapping of a monarchy dating | back 1.100 years. | Prince Cyril, Boris' brother, who | is now in America, is ineligible for | |t provide {a union, | handicap to good relations hetween out the necessity for his marrying, not only for his own happiness, but against the extinction of the Pulgarian dynasty. For 10 years there fruitless search of all has been a European ‘monarchies for a possible queen, but religious and political obstacles have slowly reduced the royal marriage possibilities. Ex-Czar Ferdinand, father of the King Boris, who is living in Co- burg, wants his son to marry Prin- cess K daughter of the Grand Duke Cyril of Russia, who recently was proclaimed rightful ruler of all Russia by the Russian hierarchy and Russian refugees abroad. Such however, might prove a Bulgaria and the soviet union. The Rulgarian government and | people, on the other hand, and, it is | reported, even Boris himself, prefer a union with a Scandinavian prin- who, because of her Prot- aith, wonld offer no re- icles to the union with an sovereign, who is a | Greek Orthodox Princess Fedora, 19-year-old niece | of King Christian of Denmark. | ms fo be the only available Scandinavian princess. It is known that Boris was greatly enamored of Princess Ingrid of Sweden, but she is réported engaged to the Dan- ish crown prince. Another poss bility is Princess Marie Jose, only daughter of King Albert of Bel- gium.

Many of the craft, it was asserted, had re-appeared in the rum running trade. 3 It was less than six months ago that a federal grand jury here in- dicted 20 customs border patrol agents and 19 rum runners for bribery and three agents for per- jury. An entire reorganization of the customs border patrol followed. Charges were made that from 50 to 75 per cent of the liquor shipped from Canada to the United States was slipping through the customs cordon. b At the time it was estimated the value of this liquor was from $30,- 000,000 to $40,000,000 annually.
