THE DAILY RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1909. No. 932. INDIAN GOVERNMENT. DECENTRALISATION COMMISSION. The report of the Royal Commission upon De centralisation in India was published as a Blue-book on Saturday last. In view of the great int.rest which attaches to Indian affairs at present we give an extract, from a London contemporary, of the Commission’s recommendations which suggest very important changes. The Commissio'i recommend that Provincial Governments should be subject in all respects to the general control of the Govern ment of India, and that their functions and powers should be variable by that Government or by the Secretary of State. In the present circumstances the Commissioners are generally satisfied with the financial relations now existing between the Government of India and the local Governments, but they suggest a further enhancement of the powers of the Government of India and Provincial Governments in respect to the creation of new appointments and the raising of salaries. If provincial Legislative Councils obtain an effective control over provincial finances, the Commissioners consider it will be necessary hereafter to give the provinces more distinct sources of revenue and greater sources of revenue, and greater powers over their Budgets. They deprecate minute criticism on points of administrative detail in cases which local governments have to submit for sanction under financial rules. They recommend some increase of the powers of Provincial Governments in dealing with estab lishments which are wholly paid for from Imperial revenues, and propose that the Chief Commissioners of the North-West Prontier Province should be given a quasi-provincial settlement. They recommend that the Civil Service regulations should be thoroughly revised. The Civil Account Code is also unnecessarily minute. Accounts, rules, and procedure and audit requirements should be simpler, and the detailed control hitherto exercised by the Government of India over Excise Administration in the pro vinces should be, largely diminished. The necessity fbr further decentralisation in regard to the Public Works Department is also insisted upon, and with a possible exception in regard to railways, the Public Works’ accounting staff should be under the Finance Department of the Government of India. In regard to land revenue all the major provinces should have the same powers as the Governments of Madras and Bom bay now possess in settlement matlers. Any material alteration in the police laws should be effected by provincial legislation. LORD CURZON’S INQUIRY. They suggest, as a means of reducing reports and returns a fresh inquiry, similar to that set on foot by Lord Curzon, which should be repeated every few years. As to the constitution of Provincial Governments they consider that the system of single Lieutenant-Governors is no longer suited to larger provinces, and prefer a regular Council Government, with a Governor usually, but not invariably, appointed from home. They think all such Governments should consist of no fewer than four besides the Governor, and that no fewer than two of these should be appointed under the conditions which now apply in Madras and Bombay. They recognise the change in the existing system is not equally urgent in all provinces, and that the time for making such a change must be determined by political considerations. They make suggestions for placing the secretariat officer more in touch with district work, and draw attention to an undesirable tendency to uniformity in provinces, whose constituent portions are not homogeneous. With Local Governments constituted as at present, Boards of Revenue and Financial Commissioners, should be re tained, but they might be advantageously absorbed in the ex ecutive councils suggested. In that event the existing Board of Revenue in Madras should be replaced by a. system of Territorial Commissioners. So long as Boards of Revenue and Financial Commissioners remain they should have larger powers. The Commission consider it essential to give larger powers to Commissioners and reject proposals for their abolition or their conversion into mere advisory and inspecting officers. They suggest larger financial powers for the Commissioners, and that they be given a voice in regard to secondary and collegiate education, and in respect of training and technical schools. A system of provincial conferences similar to that adopted in Bengal is suggested. It is not considered advisable to create special advisory councils for Commissioners and collectors. The position and powers of the collectors should be enhanced. VERNACULAR SCHOOLS. The collectors’ present position in regard to police matters should in no case be weakened. The collector should be the final authority in matters affecting village officers. The subdivisional system should be universally applied, and promotion to collector- ships should be by seniority. Sub-district boards should be universally established on a sounder financial footing and without .borrowing powers, and their proceedings conducted in the verna cular. Municipalities should have the same full powers and should und^Hake primary education; and may devote money to middle Vernacular schools. The Commission do, not propose to relieve the municipalities from plague charges, but where these are heavy the Government should contribute substantially. Muni cipalities should have full powers in regard to taxation within the limits of the law under which they work, subject to the maintenance of prescribed minimum balances. Municipalities should have a free hand in respect to their Budgets; Municipalities should ordinarily contain a substantial elective majority; Government officers should not be allowed to stand for election; where it is considered expedient that hospitals and educational institutions in a Presidency town should be directly controlled by Government, the municipality should not be forced to contribute thereto. X :: DRESDEN ■ ■ V ■ ■ SMUGGLING AT NEW YORK. N. G. LLOYD STEWARDS HELD. FOUR PRISONERS IN ALL. Through the persistent efforts of James S. Clark son, Surveyor of Customs of New York port, the details of « well organised system of smuggling} drugs , into America free of duty were brought to light some days ago in the Federal Court, and four men implicated in that industry were arrested and held in$3,000 bail. Surveyor Clarkson learned several weeks ago, ac cording to a New York contemporary, that efforts were being made to get large quantities of codine, a derivative of morphine, into the country, and, as suming that the practice had been thriving for some time, started an investigation. A careful watch was placed upon all incoming German liners, and within a week after assigning George Smyth, Special De- Pension Cronheim, Strasse 47, corner of Mtinchner Strasse. Modern style.

When Smyth and his assistants put them tnrough the “third de gree” the inspectors were able to trace codine valued at $2,000 to where it was hidden in Manhattan and it was seized and locked up in the government vault in the Custom House. In the course of his investigation Surveyor Clark son found that there exists in Germany a company which does nothing but take contracts to smuggle goods of all sorts into America free of duty, the agents of the company being chielly stewards on oceangoing vessels. It is said that the agents of the company in various parts of Europe will gua rantee to smuggle anything presented to it for that purpose by a patron. An incident in the surveyor’s work of investigation which helped largely in running down the culprits was the death of Dr. George von der Schulenburg, who jumped from the window of his home, at No. 169 East 128th street, last September and died a few days later in the Harlem Hospital. Yhe affidavits made by the stewards arrested al leged that the physician was the receiver and dis tributor of the smuggled drugs. His death, they said, caused confusion among the stewards and others handling the goods, and for a while they could find no safe market for the large quantities of oo- dine that were brought over weekly on the incoming steamers. Hermann Ebert, who has been a steward in the ser vice of the North German Lloyd for thirteen years, and Adolph Bunneberg, who has. been twenty-two years in the company’s employ, were arrested and brought before Commissioner Shields. Both stewards were put through the “third degree,” but Smyth and his inspectors were unable to get much information from them concerning their associates. When they learned, however, that Gunter Schmitz, a bartender on the “Kronprinzessin,” and his brother-in-law, Al fred E. Willembricher, of Westwood, N. J., had been brought before the Commissioner and were under going an examination in separate rooms, the stewards made a full confession and implicated a dozen persons besides themselves. It was brought out at the examination that after the death of Dr. von der Schulenburg, when the kilo packages of co'dine were coming over in goodly quantities, the stewards were at a loss for a distri butor. Schmitz, it is alleged, was struck with a brilliant idea. He confided to his friends that Wil lembricher, his brother-in-law, was a salesman for a wholesale drug company in New Jersey, and he might be persuaded to carry the smuggled codine as a side line during his trips on the road. Schmitz, it is alleged, made a proposition to Willembricher, and the latter reluctantly undertook to sell the co dine. While the customs officials are anxious to break up the illicit traffic they are inclined to deal leniently with Willembricher, who they believe was persuaded to act as a distributing agent against his will. The North German Lloyd has helped the customs offi cials in their efforts to stop the smuggling, and while the goods have been brought into this coun try on its steamers the company ; i$ not held morally responsible. From the confession of Ebert it was learned that he had been engaged in the drug smuggling busi ness for two years, and that Dr. von der Schulen burg had an office in Nassau-street and had sold the codine to several manufacturers of cough candies. So far the surveyor has taken about 480 ounces of codine, on which there is an import duty of $1 an ounce. The codine, which comes originally from the Orient, is put throUglr a chemical pro cess in Germany and prepared for shipment in kilo packages. The purchase price in Germany is $5 aii ounce.
