The Cuthbertson bill was passed by tbe senate. The bill is a companion to the recently passed Deck bill making robbery or burglary with a deadly weapon punishable by a minimum imprisonment of 14 years and fixing hanging as the maximum penalty. The Cuthbertson measure Includes robbery, arson, and burglary with explosives In the class of crime with treason, murder, rape, and kidnaping, in which the Jury Axes the punishment with a determinate sentence, during which there can be no parole. Taken together with the Deck bill, lawyers say, the senate now has declared In favor of sending the armed holdup man or safeblower to the penitentiary for at least 14 years and allowing the Jury to determine whether he should be locked up for life or hanged. 8enator James J. Barbour contended that the theory that increasing penalties decreases crime is a fallacy, but .the bill was passed, 28 to 8. O. K. Gambling House Padlocks.

Springfield.--A complete record of the civil suits against Gov. Len Small, New York.--A billion-dollar rumrunning combine is being combated by the United States coast guard with ^30,000,000 equipment, government officials announced at the completion of a four-day official and newspaper Inspection cruise of the Mid-Atlantic rum smuggling area. There are 385 foreign rum-Tunning boats of all descriptions, said Lieut- Commander S. S. Yeandle, aid to the coast guard's commandant, Rear Admiral Billard. These craft have been pouring contraband liquor Intothe United States with the assistance of a large and far-reaching shore organisation. Against this array, the coast guard's entire force consists of sixteen cutters, whose primary duty is the safeguarding of ships and lives at sea; an authorized fleet of twenty converted destroyers, not yet completed; 20ft patrol boats, each 75 feet long, and 108 86-foot picket boats. It Is under these conditions, Commander Yeandle said, the coast guard has entered its first great drive, the Mid-Atlantic rum blackade, which In less than two weeks has sent more than seventy smuggling craft scuttling to sea and has so tightly ringed the remaining smugglers as to put a virtually complete stop to the once copious quantities of liquor that flowed through Long island. New Jersey, New York and New England sea coast channels. The plan calls for the continued picketing St every rum boat that comes within striking distance of shore and the continued patrolling of all waterways leading from the sea to the shore bootlegger bases. After the foreign liquor carriers have been held off shore weeks or months, as the case may be, the coast guardsmen believe that the shore liquor organization-- a vast army of men who operate under a huge complication of details-- will rust with disuse.

FRENCH DRIVE MOORS FROM BIBANE HEIGHT Fighting Continue$--Heavy Lotte* on Both Side< Paris. -- General de Chambrun's men. In cleaning out a strong pisitlon of the RIffian8 on the heights of Blbane, in Morrocco, In one day, are declared to have administered a "salutary lesson" to the Invaders.
