SATURDAY, AUGUST 27 GHOST HUNT IS WASTING U.S. TAXES Revenue Cutters’ Work Is Big Money Loser; Navy Destroyers Better BY NORRIS QUINN SHINGTON, Aug. 27 »sta Occup! han -Chas. in the Atlantic taining is another way tn which gov ‘Ship News. s the attention of} 40 ships our government and) 1921 funds are wasted. ost chasers are technica ly known as revenue cruisers, Most ef them are naval crulsers of obso- Tete tyr Year in, year out, they cruise up and down both coasts in search of the ghosts of smugglers and bucca Heers who used to sail the Spanish Math. SMUGGLERS GONE FROM COAST The true purpose of the revenue cruisers is to run down real smug giers. But they disappeared from the coast decades ago. Today smugglers wear silk hats and bring contraband into the United States by way of the bts liners that dock at New York, Seattle and San Francisco. So the original purpose of the revenue cruiser has vanished. The cruisers are manned by com- petent officers and crews and do Much useful work. At certain seasons they cruise in the northern seas, watching for ice deres, protecting the big liners from possible collisions. They answer all emergency radio calls, rushing to the ald of disabled or burning ships. They patro} the fishing zones in the Bering Sea. And they look out for rum runners But every function performed by the cruiser can be better performed by a regular navy destroyer, ‘The average type of revenue cruiser has a maximum speed of 12 knots while the navy destroyer can do twice that. SCHOOL COSTS $250,000 A YEAR ‘The revenue cruiser service main tains a training school for officers at New London, Conn. That school graduates 14 officers every year. It costs the taxpayers $250,000 a year for upkeep—nearly $20,000 for each man graduated. The service is controtied by the coast guard, with which it has a rather slight connection. The coast guard, in turn, is controlled by the treasury department, with which it ‘hag not the slightest relationship. Economy experts here will propose these measures to eliminate revenue cruiser waste: ONE. Abolish the revenue cruls- ers. Two. joeberg- seeking. 5 signals and similar functions under the navy department's supervision. THREE. Abolish the revenue academy. Place patrolling, answering distress SALEM, Ore. Aug. 27.—Finding his son-in-law after a eearch that had extended over several years was the experience of A. G. Cook, of Duran- 50, Colo, who chanced to visit the state hospital for the insane here yesterday. Cook explained that his son-in- law's name was Walter Patty, and that he had disappeared from his ranch near Durango during a fit of @espondency, to which he was eub- ject. His wife bas since remarried. Despite his mental condition, Patty Tecognized his father-in-law, and they chatted for a half-hour. Cook made no attempt to have the man re- moved from the hospital, as he is hopelessty insane. Cook left last Right for California.
