HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS OFF TO WASHINGTON
Internal Revonuo Bureau Puz

?! n Staff Corrrtvondcnt
Washington, Oct. 'S. The further
the Internal Ilcvcnue Kmcnu gnM along
with its preparations for rnrrjlng nut
the prohibition cnferrement law, the
more appalled It becomes with the refill -zation
that it i coins to be utterly im
poisible to Monip out the liquor traffic
with the very limited force that .m Im
,;,, im,,1 wltli (lie K'J.000.000 nnnro-
printion made by Congress for this I
fis.cn 1 J ear.
The Department of Justice is likewise
puzzled over the problem of prosecuting
nil violation of the prohibition law
detected by the lutcrniil Revenue 1 "
renu with the appropriation of ?KKl,

With M.OOO.000 a yenr It will be
impossible to put more than hwi men
at work nil over the 1 mted fetntes.
This iniliiber would lie ncre-an to
properlv cnfone the law in New ork
city alone without the assistance of
the public, officials of the Intel mil Kcv
enue llureau admit.
In nil other lines ol govrrmmui. "
tivity about one-half of available ap
propriations are used for office main
tenance and other set epeuses. uu:ill
known us overhead charges. Applua
tion of this rule would leave mil
$1,000,000 tg be used for pay of agents
in the Held to enforce the prohibition
laws. Agents who would be effective
could not be obtained at less than S-'OOO
a year, with S1000 added for subsist
ence and other traveling expenses.
More than .VJ.OOO.OOU is required an
nually to maintain the light against il
licit distillation of whisky in only iso
lated places.
Two Separate Forces
The Internal Revenue Bureau must
organize and maintain a force for en
forcement of prohibition entirely sepa
rate and distinct from the organiza
tions chaigi-d with enforcing the illicit
distilling laws, the collection or reve
nues and other functions, because the
appiopriatious aie made by Congress
for separate and distinct put poses, in
ternal revenue officials aid. This will
prevent the bureau using aRcnts en
caged in other work to assist in en
forcing prohibition.
The piohibition enforcement 1)111
charges the Internal Revenue Rureau
with the investigating and po'ice func
tions and allots to the Department
of Justice the task of piosrcuting per
sons apprehended bj the revenue bu
reau This will pi event Department of
Justice officials from taking a hand in
detecting prohibition law iolators. It
will also lompel the letention by the
Department of Justice of a separate
force for ptosccuting persons apprehend
ed by the Internal Revenue llureau for
law violations.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper
is still looking about for a man who will
have the entire confidence of the public
and at the same time the ability to en
force the law with the meager force
provided by Congress. The bureau is
trying to avoid the mistakes made in
some dry states where prohibition laws
became exceedingly tinpopulnr because
their enforcement was virtually turned
over to agents of the Anti-Saloon
League, who went to aggravating ex
tremes. Striking Inconsistencies
A peculiar iline of the prohibition
enforcement situation is that while the
internal Revenue Rureau is drilling a
large force of agents to enforce the laws
against all manufacture, and sale of
litjuors, and the Department of Justice
is preparing vigorously to prosecute all
persons found violating the laws, the
llureau of Kngraving and Printing is

(Iter two hundred members of the. senior class of the West I'hlladelphi.i High hclinol for Cfirls left for a fhrcc'-das'
.sightseeing trip In (he national capital (his morning. 'Ihe weie atcompanled by &ccn of (he (eaihers, who
acted as chaperons. In the crnler abovo is Aliss Olga Aiulerson, sthonl pirshleiii; to (ho left is Miss Helen
IJojd, president of tho class; at the light is 'Miss Rulli Ward, secretary
grinding out stamps to put on wliiskv.
beer and wines with breathless haste.
The Internal Revenue I'urenu mid
the Printing mid Rngiaving Ruienu are
both branches of the Ticasury Depart
ment. One is preparing to facilitate
tho manufacture, sale and distribution
of lienor, the other is organizing u big
force of sleuths, inspectors and special
agents to clamp the lid down hard on all
dealings iu liquor.
Washington officials arc saving up
their money in confident expectation of
going forth iu November and December
to lay in a supply of wet goods to "last
me as long as 1 live." There is nlso a
determined expectation of indulging tit
this Christmas in "one last big jag"
before the big tide goes out forever.
The distillers are deeply incensed
over the nrtiun of Congress in passing
the wartime prohibition law and then
the law to keep the lid on liquor for all
time by virtue of the constitutional
amendment. They say leaders iu Con
gress promised them one year in wliuh
to dispose of their stock of nppioxi
niatcly 00.000.000 gallons of whisky in
bonded warehouses between the time the
wartime dry law lapsed and constitu
tional prohibition went into effect. In
stead, thev assert, Congress allowed
"rabid prohibitionists" to run awav
with them and passed a law that dooms
liquor men and bankers and other
financially entangled with them to
linancial ruin.
The belief entertained by well-posted
politicians in Washington that there
will be a countrywide "showdown" on
the prohibition issue at every polling
place in the Cuited States in the presi
dential election of November, 10:20, is
based on the plans being laid to launch
a new paity in a few weeks which will
be known as the "New I.a"bor party"
and will have a beer and wine plank
as one of its principal platform attractions.

Thomas- J. fiatland has not jet reached
a decision on whether or not he will
accept the appointment n's missionary
bishop of I'tnh.
Rishon Onrland, whose election was
'confirmed yesterday by (he house of
deputies, said this morning that he
was not able to say when he would
mnke up his mind on the matter. When
told that there is a belief in Philadel
phia that he will decide to return
to his work ns suffragan blsljnp there,
he replied that such a belief is with
out nny basis on nnythlng lie has said
or hinted.
"I have said not a word to nny one,"
he ajd, "which would Indicate what
mv decision is to ho. It is before me
only since yesterday In nny definite or
official sense, nnd I nm not now pre
pmed to say what my decision will be
or when I shnll make it known."
It was thought that he might an
nounce his decision today in case it
wetc adverse to acceptance of the new
post, so thnt the convention would have
nn opportunity to appoint another
bishop for Vtnh. Tint when askvd
about this today, he said that ho would
mnke his decision without being hindered
or hastened by pueh considerations,
"No hasty decision is asked or ex
pected in such cases," he said. "I

I'lillitdelphtii has lost Its last chance
of gottltie the next convention of the
KplBeopnl Church. Until Into ycstcrilnj

agreed with the deputies to go to Port
land in 1011. . ,
Two momentous stcpi In tho history
of the Protestant IOnlscopnl Church nre
now to the credit of tliu fortieth trien
nial general convention.
It is this convention that has de
clared the leadership of the church In
church unity iu this country hy so
amending its constitution ns to open its
anors to the ordlnntiou of clergymen
of other sects nnd nt tho same time per
mit its own clergymen to work iu other
communities.
It is this convention that litis for the
first time given the Chinch a central
administrative body, with a presiding
bishop nnd an executive committee
which between conventions will carry
the authority of the Church. To further
this ecutrnmntion of control the con
vention has nlso created a finance com
mittee consisting of n bishop, a clergy
msti and three lavmen.
The most radical step, though, was
thnt tnken in the interest of church
unity nfter a masterly appeal hy the
Kev. Dr. William Slauniiig. of Trinity
Church, New York, who brought the
House of Deputies to an overwhelming
vntn In fnvnr of the election changes
necessary to put into effect the
concordat with the Congregational
Churches.

tnlttee from both churches would be
adopted by this convention. In the
house of bishops there were charges
that the church was trying to side
step the responsibility of taking .this
forward step to unity. Hut tho report
made by Doctor Mnunltig elenred the
atmosphere nnd went even further thnn
those who brought In tho concordat had
hoped from this convention.
An exciting debate filled some of tho '
time of the house of deputies yesterday
when the proposal to admit women ns
deputies came up. There was some
Hrrlous debate, but the voto of ths
house against the proposal wns large.
