Booze Goes To Windsor Jhen Across line To States Including Indiana BY W. H. BLODGETT DETROIT. Aug. 10 A conspiracy of nide proportions that had its birth in a plot to engage in wholesale violation cf the federal prohibition law has been uncovered by the government. Its ramifications extended from coast to coast and there is hardly a community In the country that is not affected by it. The master minds of the underworld control it and have established whiskey rings in practically all of the Urge cities. Every law-enforcing power of the national government has been called into service to fight the conspiracy. HUE IT ALL FIXED Those engaged in illicit deal.r.gs In liquor have their receiving depots, their disbursing points, their underground railways. Despite equent raids, arrests and convictions the traffic seems to grow. It is understood that a demand has been madon the government for additional machinery to enforce the Volstead act . i v,-t tims stronger eiforts to atop the illicit .trlnsactions will begin. This city, because of Its transportation facilities and its proximity to the Canadian border, is one of the most important stations for the rum runners. Liquor in great quantities is shipped, under federal permits, to this city and sent into Canada to Montreal. From that point it is reshipped to Windsor and from AV mdsor is smuggled into the United States and distributed to all parts of the country. How this liquor is smuggled into the United States will be told in another dispatch. KENTUCKY THE SOURCE The greater part cf the liquor distributed in this country by the smugglers Is shipped to Montreal from Kentucky. In the last two weeks records of the federal authorities show, there were sent into Canada from Kentucky, thirty-one carloads cf whiskey, each car containing l-"'-' cases and each case holding twelve bottles, or three gallons. Thus there were 3T.20O cases or 416. 400 quart bottles. The exporting of this liquor was under a federal permit signed in Kentucky and was legal. The illegal proceedings of ther traffic began when the liquor was smuggled. back to this country. After being brought to Detroit the liquor Is sent out in automobiles. Practically all of the liquor sent into Indiana goes through Detroit from Windsor. Canada. Much of it goes to Niles. Mich, where the government has information that there is a n n.ky ring working under protection. The liquor la taken to South Eend and distributed through the Calumet re g-ion. much of it stopping at EasV. Chicago.

JIM EMERY and Vaughn Parry took their fathers to the Kankakee river for a ilthin'-j trip and certainly showed them a good time and Jim caught the only fish caught on the trip. XORMAX FREEMAN doesn't propose to miss any Cox meetings if he can help it. He went all the way to Dayton last Saturday to notify the governor and says it was well worth the trip.

THE truth is out about Ed Deming's j trip to Kokomo. He entered in the state ! coif tournament and finished better than ! 40 others did and was a credit to Ham mond for a young man of his age. STATE street for six blocks west of the State line. Is now open for traffic. The pavement has been resurfaced and apparently West Hammond will have a good street for a number of years. FRIENDS cf Guy Dickey, principal of the Robertsdale schools, will be interested in knowing that he was operated upon for appendicitis at St. Margaret's hospital this morning.

"It's the biggest one caught so far this season in the Manotowish waters. Has any Hammond fisherman beat that yet?" says the post card. IN spite of warning lanterns and the plainly visible piles of broken asphalt, many Hammond auto drivers took the west side of South Hohman street, last night. They were so accustomed to the roughness that they probably wondered who left the lanterns in the road.

BALK AT PRICES Demand for Razors Swamp Stores in Answer to the Increase in Prices. What Jias become of the rush of patrons in Gary's, tonsorial shops. The answer is an easy one. Gary's male population are jeavlng the art of shaving themselves as they refuse (to pay the new price list that went into effect a week ago yesterday. A jump of 15 cents to 65 cents for a hair cut and ten cents advance to 35 cents for a shave is now in vogue. "Too much money" say the Gary barber shop patrons. "We will shave ourselves first." As a result it is estimated that close to a thousand straight blade razors and safety blade razors have been sold In the city in the past week and a big demand for more. One business house that had received its Christmas stock of razors and safe, ty blades have completely sold out according to the owner, today and he has put in an order for more. Other stores in the business district report the same demand. One store was cleaned out of 500 dozen Gillette razor blaaes alone and yesterday sent in an order by telegram ordering a thousand dozen more. "I never shaved myself In my life before." said a prominent Eroadway business man to the wiiter this morn-

men have to shave every day and t the end of a week with a hair cut and a few extra frills I find I am paying out three and four dollars to my barter. I'm through and fhey are not going to soak me any more." Another Gary man was likewise piqued over the new price list. "I used to get shaved every day and a hair cut once a week. Now I am shaving myself and will get a hair cut every two or three weeks." The above opinion is similar among the Gary patrons and instead of the barber" shop owners getting rich like they anticipated it looks like they are going to be the ones that will suffer. The barbers claim that the shop owners were responsible for the new prices. Gary barbers now et a salary of $27 a week and a percentage over $36 and say they are making less money now than they did. All shops In the city report that the trade has fallen off 25 to 50 per cent. To make a long story short, Gary refuses to pay the new prices.

ON STREET Hammond people and especially those who drive automobiles who had ocasion to drive over South Hohman St.. yesterday, met with a surprise which seemed almost unbelieveable . Workmen were starting on the Job of repairing the ruts in the pavement. Bright and early Monday the United Construction Co.. had a gang of men cutting around the worn places in the asphalt and 'by evening the west side of the street from Douglas St.. to Harrison park had been covered. Large square sections of the wearing surface are being cut away at each rut or aeries of holes . After the old surface is removed, the workmen then straighten up the edges of the cut so that the patch will bear i arain5t a ne mendi cu! !ar surface. The foundation stones are picked up so they present a rough surface for the new top dressing and the place is ready for its new patch of stone and asphalt. The work dJfers in many respects from other patch Jobs which have been done on this pavement. Greater care Is 'being taken in preparing for the work and the asphalt will be put on hot with its obvious advantages over the old "cold mix" method formerly used.
