This Is the conviction of leading New York bankers, based on reports from every part of the country. i lie improvement is partly due to the usual fall picking up.

Drugs 'valued at $75,000 also were confiscated, the officers announced. After the raid, Frank J. Fitzpatrick, chief narcotic officer here, who had taken part in the raid, committed suicide at a nearby pier, according to a police report. Other federal agents declared they knew no motive for Fitzpatrick's suicide. They expressed the belief that the excitement and strain of the raid temporarily deranged hjirn. Fitzpatrick, who had searched the vessel with the prohibition agents, was found dead In a nearby ferry house after the fight. There were two bullet wounds in his heart. United States Marshal Power, thirty deputy marshals and twenty policemen were sent to the King Alexander after the suicide was reported to the authorities to arrest all members of the crew on board and take them to the federal building for questioning. The raid on the King Alexander was in connection with the new campaign launched here against bootleggers. Acting on a tip that members of file crew of the King Alexander were involved in a plot to smuggle contraband liquor and drugs into this country, the prohibition agents' swooped down on the ship at her wharf. Sailors resisted and a Score of shots were exchanged. Fifteen prohibition agents comprised the force that raided the King Alexander. They approached the ship In a launch and lay In the shadows of the wharves while agents, posing as prospective purchasers of the contraband, went aboard the vessel. While they were negotiating on the ship, a lookout spied the launch crowded with officers. He gave the alarm. A moment later, those in the launch heard a battle of shots from the ves-- 1 Senator Borah points out that, in addition to furnishing employment to the unemployed, the construction of these projects and pushing them to early completion will supply homes for many other thousands of people who have been waiting for years for the government to finish irrigation projects Senator Borahs letter' Is, In part as follows: I am informed through the press that you are engaged in working out some kind of a program to take care of the unemployed during the coming fall and winter I beg leave to make a suggestion to you As you are doubtless well informed, we have a great number of Irrigation projects In the West, either ready for construction work or which have been begun and delayed by reason of want ot funds Hundreda-andLva- w thou., sands of people are wafting an opportunity to make homes upon these projects ' In some instances of which I have knowledge they have been waiting for a number of years I think you will agree with me that this government cannot be more deeply interested in any proposition tuan it is in getting as many people as practicable upon our land and so arranging matters that they may acquire homes I assume that the government will, in taking care of the unemployed, seek to find work for them rather than to engage in the demoralizing program of feeding them without work The only sane, whqjesome and decent way to treat an American citizen, when he is in want of flood, is to find labor for him, so that he may pay for his food and not accept it at the hands of charity. If these projects couldb e taken up and built under present conditions, utilizing the unemployed at a fair wage, it seems to be one at least of the most practical and desirable things we could do.. In the first place, it gives work to a large number of unemployed, thereby enabling them to take care of themselves and their families. In the second place, it provides acreage for the making of homes and for increasing the production in this country. In the third place, ultimately all moneys expended upon these 'projects will be repaid tp the government.
