RUM SHIPS ‘SET’ FOR CHRISTMAS BUSINESS BOOM Pacific Coast Fleets Bring ‘Real Stuff' for Thirsty Folks With Money. By MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. W.—“ Business as usual” signs will float on the mastheads of the Paqiflc coast rum fleet, prepared to deliver over the long briny bar of the twelve* mile line the regular Christmas quota of Canadian rye and bourbon, imported Scotch, German beer or what have you. Prohibition officers in coast cities blandly announce that, while plenty of wine will flow, there will be less hard liquor sold than at any time since 1919. But, if you have the price and are willing to invest $45 to S6O a case in old-time yule cheer, you stand a fifty-fifty chance of getting the “real stuff.” otherwise, you can have just as good a time on lusil oil cocktails from homemade gin at $2.50 a “fifth.” Bjg Booze Outfits The twv big Canadian booze outfits, “Consolidated Limited” and the “Central American Shipping Company,” are still in business on the high seas. They are operating seven big tramp steamers under foreign flags. Because the Canadian government is getting particular about ships, papers and other matters of routine, many of these put out from Vancouver with cargoes of lumber, sail for Europe and load up with German, Dutch and Belgian cargoes of liquors. Coming back through the canal, they distribute it along the coast as required. Activities of the coast guard fleet has made deliveries more intricate than usual. They unload far out to sea, sometimes 100 miles out, to an auxiliary fleet of smaller vessels. Those in turn peddle it over the sides of the vessels to smaller power boats, which in turn bring

chants to convey the cargoes to the centers of population. Uncle Sam’s anti-smuggling measures have made the business much more risky than usual, and the risk goes into the retail trade. The coast guard operates five big cruisers from Seattle to San Diego, augmented by twenty little vessels armed with one-pounders and machine guns. On shote, the Federal prohibition officers maintain an extra large Christmas force of auto patrollers. Thus the rum smugglers must run the gantlet of two picket lines. So far, according to the coast guard, no big vessel has landed its cargo this season, and two rumrunning “mother ships,” one from Belgium and the other from Germany, have been lying off the Golden Gate for weeks under “move on” orders from the coast patrol. More wine is on hand than ever in California, and the Government will not interfere with wine drinking unless it has evidence of sale. California has passed a drastic anti-still law, but so far only one conviction has resulted.

PUNISH BRIVERS, CHIEF ADVISES -P Worley Asks Judge’s Aid in Accident Drive. Police Chief Claude M. Worley Thursday urged municipal judges to cooperate in curbing accidents by “applying due punishment” in cases guilty of recklessness or-traffic law violations. In a letter addressed to all municipal Judges, Worley pointed out the increased number of traffic accidents during November and the first week of December, as against the same period last year. Worley’s letter said: “I wish to call your attention to the large number of accidents which have occurred in this city during November and up to the present time. The number involving pedes-

trians and motorists has increased 65 per cent over the same perioc last year. While our records w for the same period a decrease of 69 per cent in the number of accidents involving children of school age. “With this noticeable decrease in the number of accidents mv jiving school children I feel that something can be done to reduce the per cent involving adults. “The result of investigations of the above accidents show tl -.at a large number of them are caused by carelessness of the motorists. We would welcome any sueT2stions from you toward the curbing of this carelessness and would appre :iate your co-operation when these-cases come before you by applying due punishment in the case of those whom you feel are guilty of recklessness or violation of traffic laws.” Seek to Buy Power Plant Petition has been filed with the public service commission by the Interstate Public Service Company to buy the Holton Electric and Power
