showing apparently bona fide owner-

ship of the shipments, and apparently

perfect but actually forged permits to

move specified quantities from one

place to another. Much of this liquor

sold and moved on forged permits is obtained from distilleries which are flouting the law. Probably the worst result of the dry amendment and the- Volstead Law 5s the utterly conscienceless money-mad brand of boot-legger who does not take

the trouble to get real whiskey or even ! make a substitute containing pure grain alcohol, but puts together a con

coction containing the deadly wood alcohol. A little of this terrible dose means blindness, and a little more means certain death. The newspapers every day cortain accounts of deaths resulting from drinking this poison, but it is doubtful if there has been a case where the dispenser of this stuff has received more than the penalty pre-

Ecnoea Dy me Volstead Law. As matter of fact, a bootlegger knowingly selling this kind of stuff is guilty of plain murder. Government Hunts Big Game Only. The Bureau of Internal Revenue s not going after the little fellow, the retailer of contraband and forbidden booze. This is not because of any sympathy with him or his machinations. Regardless of their personal views on the subject, the officials of thih bureau are sworn to detect and prosecute violations of this law, and they do that to the limit of their funds

and capacities. Knowing it is impossi

ble to go arter every violator, it has

ueen round necessary to leave the

smaller offender to be dealt with bv

state and city authorities, and concen-

trate attention on the wholesale liquor

manipulator.

A flying squadron has been organ

ized, and is moved from city to city to

try and breax up tne bootlegging systems. Recently this squadron made important arrests in Baltimore, and went from there to New York. Some arrests will be made, but Baltimore is not dry nor will New York be. Revenue officials know this, but plug away at their jobs hard as they can, knowing that complete success can be

theirs only when a preponderant percentage of public opinion is in favor of hard and fast enforcement of the dry amendment.

The attention of the Internal Reve

nue Bureau is directed toward the rum

smuggling along the Atlantic Coast, particularly from the smaller islands

lying off the southern states. The promise of some action in the near

future against these smuggling bootleggers has been made, and arrests

may be looked for some time during the autumn. It is admitted, though, that with the thousands of natural harbors along the South 'Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, not a great deal can be

accomplished. A few of the big operators may be caught, but there will be scores ready to step into their places, attracted by the big fortunes which may be made quickly in this illicit business. Right now the situation is seen by officials about in this light the United States has two long coast lines, filled with fine harbors for small boats, it has several thousand miles of border, and liquor will continue to come in on all sides just as long as people want it and pay for it. Only reversal of popular sentiment can dry up the American ocean of rum.

DESERT NATIVE LAND FOR FLORIDA CLIME

(By Associated Press) MASSAU, Bahamas, Sept. 13. The Bahama Islands, the British colony lvine off the Atlantic coast, show a

decrease in population during the last ten years, principally on account of emigration to Florida. This is tho first decline in numbers in the recorded history of the colony. The census just announced places the population at 55,944, which marks a decrease of 2,913 or 5.2 per cent since 1911. Demand for labor in the United States is regarded as the cause. Watlings Island, where Columbus is believed to have first set foot on the New World, showed an increase in population. Its total was 6S6 people

or 69 more than ten years ago. The Bimini Islands, where much liquor was sent from the United States when it went dry, ha3 a population of 610 people, an increase of 134 in the ten years. DEPARTMENT FUNDS SHORT. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Sept. 13. Appropriations for the state fire marshal and the custodian of the statehouse will not be sufficient to meet expenses for the fiscal year ending Sent. 30. it is believed. The fire mar

shal's department is expected to need about $10,000 and $5,000 or more prob

ably will be needed to meet pay rolls of janitors.

This is one of the most recent and most remarkable photos to come out of famine-stricken soviet Russia. It is thousands of situations like this that the American relief commission seeks to end.

A Sea of Rum and a Government Spoon .By FREDERIC 'J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 13. That public Eentiment in the United States is 85 per cent opposed to prohibition, and that under these circumstances it would take a fair-sized standing arm;r to enforce it, is the statement of one of the officials who is charged with tihat onerous duty. These men of the Bureau of Internal Revenue feel Jike" the prince in the fairy tale who was handed a spoon with a hole in the bottom of it by an

old witch as tfae price of his liberty.

Law would be easy in comparison with the drug law. Enough morphine or cocaine to kill a dozen men can oe hidden easily about a man's or woman's clothing without the chance

iof attracting attention. The ordinary

dose of either given by a physician to a non-addict is a quarter or half grain, and hiding hundreds of five-grain tablets is not difficult. The necessity for keeping the contraband is as small bulk as possible has resulted in practically all of the

Others, of course, say that a much " Z rtT, . "

larger percentage of the population really favors prohibition, and that the

future will see a great change. Everyone, however, admits that a great change is necessary, and the men w'no are trying to enforce the law are especially convincing along that line. They do not pretend to be enforcing the law more than a few per cent. There are enormous sources of contraband liquor which they know all about and

have never attacked because they have not the men. They make no pretense of combating the small retail bootlegger. Ho is left to the local police, if they cane to bother him. The government goes after the big fellows, and it can onty go after a few of them. The officials compare the prohibition law to the anti-narcotic law to sho-v the difficulty of enforcement. Despite

the fact that the problem was in-

gm. Every

modern means . of transportation is brought into play in moving the stuff into flie country and from city to city. The price which could be secured for a thousand gallons of beer is not high enough to tempt the bootleggers, but

on a thousand gallons of whiskey or grain alcohol they can make a small fortune. The Bureau of Internal Revenue is aware of many avenues of entrance for liquor from Canada. Booze is now regularly brought into the country in airplanes, the points of landing being many nilies away from the border 20 as to allay suspicion. The extent of the rum running from the islands bordering the South Atlantic Coast is well known also, but the money provided for enforcement of the law, has been too small thus far to make

finitely smaller, the number of offend-iTu 01 ers a mere fraction of those involved I th?e m ne-tl. . .

GREENSBDRG HOLDS ROBBER SUSPECTS

GREENSBURG. Ind.. Sept. 13. Gil

bert Talkington, 24 years old, and Elmer Smith, 25. are held in jail here suspected of having been implicated in the $25,000 bank robbery at Beech Grove last Friday. The men arrived at Alert, Saturday, the morning following the robbery, in a seven-passenger touring car bearing an Ohio license No. 669. Two checks, one for $18 and the other for $10, drawn ou the First National bank of Indianapolis, are alleged to have been cashed by Talkington who was arrested on a charge of issuing fradulent checks. The men were arrested Monday afternoon by Chief of Police Meek and Sheriff Braden at the home of Frank Talkington at Alert. The men told conflicting stories as to how they came into possession of the car. Chief Meek noticed that the

shoes worn by Talkington are decorated with the same peculiar brass toes, which, according to Indianapolis police, distinguished the shoes worn by the Beech Grove, robber who was blacked to resemble a negro.

in bootlegging, it was found impossible to enforce the anti-narcotic law until public ' sentiment for it had been aroused by publicity. , Public Sentiment Rules. The -same branch of the government the "Bureau of Internal Revenue Is charged with the enforcement of the Harrison Act and the Volstead Law enforcement. This is being patterned after the experience secured with drug laws for many years past. But unless congress and the people of the United States are willing to put up " many

millions of dollars, it will be a long day before this country really is dry. Except for the fact that drinking Is far more common than addiction to drugs, the enforcement of the Volstead

forcement has to do with moving liquor about from city to city on forged permits. 'Officers questioning the movements of big quantities of liquor, and attempting to seize it, have been confronted time and again with permits
