Clever Tricks to Get Liquor in “Dry” State Natives of Arizona Evade . Most Stringent Prohibition Law

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 15.—A Phoenix business man drove his automobile over to Los Angeles and shipped, it back. He sent two gentlemen down to the freight depot with the bill of lading, cautioning them carefully to tow the machine to his residence. But they didn’t see any reason for towing a perfectly good car,apparently in running order, so they tried to start the engine. Not a cough! They found the carburetor full of a liquid that looked, but did not smell, like gasoline. Then they drained some of the liquid from a tank into a pan and tasted it. Two glorious gin jags were the result and the aforementioned business man had all kinds of trauble keeping from being indicted for introducing liquor into dry territory. This is only.one of hundreds of clever subterfuges that have been resorted to in order to evade Arizona’s strict prohibition law. Every day the officers “get wise” to some new scheme of the booze importers. A barrel labeled “asphalt” came from Los Angeles for a local contractor’®s warehouse; it rolled out of the back end of the wagon and was .smashed on the pavement. When sev‘eral gallons of asphalt had oozed away, a large keg still intact was observed by a policeman to be in the middle of the wreckage. He investigated and found that it contained whiskey of high quality. Officers of Miami became suspicious that a piano case received there and ‘billed to Mrs. Rosa Disney did not -contain a piano. They were right. It contained $436 , worth of bottled liquor.

Bottles are interned in the middle of cans of lard or honey shipped to Arizona. Scores of suitcases are left uncalled for at railroad stations because the owners suspect that they are suspected—and often they are right. Dozens of arrests have been tmade because one bottle in a trunk or Yiitcase was broken in transit. Of late a number of shipments have been made in the bladders of animals, which " never break no matter how roughly the baggage is handled. It is said that there is an unprecedented demand for bladders at the slaughter houses of El Paso and Los Angeles.

In Tucson a dealer in hdusehold utensils remarked casually to a constable that his stock of can openers had been exhausted that morning. He could not understand why so many full-grown men should need can openers. The constable ran down this clue and arrested an enterprising, young fellow who had imported and sold whiskey in tomato cans with gaudy labels. :

. Automobiles have been used extensively for the introduction of liquor. At Clifton a young man with a big car, which he frequently drove to Lordsburg, N. M., fell under suspicion and was arrested. He had fitted a false bottom in his machine and was carrying from seventy to -eighty quart bottles at a load. In the auto of a prisoner arrested at Miami were several concealed copper compartments, alt full of whiskey. One young man and his wife for several months made regular motor trips between El Centro, California, and Phoenix, each time carrying numerous bottles and kegs that were retailed at a great profit here. Two others made a business’ of stealing autos in Los Angeles, loading them with liquor, driving to Arizona and selling cars and cargoes. —Special Correspondence, Desert N ews, Salt Lake City.

The board met with Mr. Newlin in the director’s room of the Farmers & Merchants Trust Co. :

Noble County Lodes Money

Noble county loses $3,000 of the money paid in automobile tax this year for the reason she has only 4 miles of improved roads. The distribution of the automobile license tax to the counties is contingent upon the miles of improved roads. Noble county people pay in $8,886 and there is returned only 85,292 87. ; Noble, LaGrange and Steuben have the poorest showing of any counties in the state in the way of improved roads. Noble leads with four miles, Steuben follows with one mile and LaGrange has none. However in another, year Noble county will take a long step forward in the line of permanent road improvement.

Sig Wants to Know

Sig Kann is inquisitive. He wants James E. Watson to tell his audience Saturday evening how he would have voted on the Adamson 8-hour law had he been a member of the senate when the measure came up. Will Mr. Watson do it? ;

Merely a Clerical Error.

The amusing blunders into which he may fall who attempts to translate from one language to another without a thorough mastery of the idioms of both are exemplified by the preacher who, wishing to m.ke a good impression upon a few EngliShmen who he knew were among his auditors, startled their ears by his renderifg of the familiar text of the Vulgate: Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma, as .“The ghost- indeed is willful, but the meat is not strong.”—London Chronicle. £

Taking Care of Him.

One of the local politicians (he insists that he is a statesman) was a guest of honor at a gathering the other night, and while on the subject of economy in government quoted the followIng conversation between a pay-roll patriot and a United States senator: “Senator, you promised me a job.” “But there are no jobs.” *“I need a job, senator.” “Well, I'll .e#k for a .commisslon to investigate *.e reason for the Bcarcity of jobs, and you can.get a place on that.”—Boston Traveler.

To Separate Postage Stamps.

"In damp weather, or by careless placing, postage stamps sometimes stick together. When this happens, place them on a newspaper in a hot oven for a few moments. AS soon as the stamps get hot the glue dries and by pressing between the fingers it is readily broken, and the stamps may be easily separated without the least damage.

Keep Busy.

To be happily busy—busy in doing something we delight in doing—is a splendid antidote for worry. For indolence is an acid on the wheels of life; sand in the eye of energy. Thousands of semi-invalids to whom adverse fortune has denied the pleasures of useful work have ridden to health on a hobby. :

aOUTH BEND'S GENTENNIAL PAGEANT

Marvelous Production To Be - Given Three Nights At ‘Springbrook Park '

‘The history of American pageants, which have grown enormously in popularity in recent years, seems to reveal nothing that equals the plans for the great historical pageant Oct. 3, 4 and 5 in Springbrook Park as the big feature of St. Joseph county’s Indiana centennial celebration at South Bend. Nothing recorded shows such elaborate features in its musie; such attention to the harmony between the thrilling, gay, amusing or’ pathetic scenes in the play and the band music which accompanies and illustrates them; nothing which will pay so grand a tribute to the patriotism of the assembled thousands; nothing that will approach such a great representation of early Indiana warfare and notuing upon so stupendous a scale in its choral features.

The whole scheme of the pageant, with its stage area equal to more than two large oity blocks, on ~which 1,500 enthusiastic players will enact the scenes of over a century ago; its especially made artificial lake; its thrilling historic battle between 500 Iroquois and Miami Indian warriors; its chorus of 5,000 sweet voiced children and an artists’ chorus of 1,000 adult singers, the best that St. Joseph

county can furnish, all conducted by an electric baton in the closing patriotic “Sunburst Tableau,” with booming cannon, colored searchlights and magic transformation scenes, will surely draw people from all over the i United States and set a pace for all outdoor pageants for many years to come: | e ,

The parade marches, Indian musie, incidental music to all the scenes, folk dances, overtures, concert pieces, ete., will be played by the Pullman military band of Chicago. In addition to the pageant playing, this band will give free open air concerts to entertain the thousands of home comers. : _ His Last Dollar Louis Levy and Cleo Spry are both ‘ardent base ball fans and both attended the ball game at Goshen Mr. Levy going over in his big car with a party of friends while young Spry rode over on his bicycle. - Neither were -in the best of spirits after theirdefeat at Goshen and on their return trip the Levy car caught up with Master Spry who was haying trouble, the bearings of the wheel having heated and the thing refused to work. Mr. Levy took the bey in and loaded the delinquent wheel on the ‘running board of the machine. When Lige® nier was reached young Spry dug down in his jeans and’ brought up a dollar, most likely the only one he had, earned by shining shoes and tendered it to the merchant. It was there that Louis Levy choked and stammered. The gameness of the youngster touched him, ‘“Not on your life,” said Mr Levy. ‘I would rather give you a dollar than take one from you,” and the bystanders applauded the sentiment. _ 0. F.
