With view to closing up the cline

Canada and the United States should
negotiate treaty which should provide
either that no house of any kind should
be built directly over the boundary
line or else that a neutral belt q few
Feet wide should be established which
would serve as boundary zone. 1t Is
proposed that in this belt no house
should be built and, therefore, that a
man must have his home wholly In

proposed further that the forces of spe-
cial agents shall be increased and that
they shall confer with view to max
ing series of raids upon every cline

With view to Closing Up All the
cline Houses"
The fact that Zine houses" on the
boundary between Canada and the
United States have been growing in
number instead of decreasing, despite
the energetic measures of Canadian
and United States inspectors, has been
brought to the attention of officials in
Washington, and plans to do away
with the nuisance are under considera-
ton, says the New York Tribune's
Washington correspondent The Zine
houses" in which rushing business is
done in smuggling goods and selling
Illicit whisky, lie especially on the
Maine and Vermont borders and are
built directly over the line. There are
about fifteen of them on the Vermont
boundary and twenty on the line be
tween Maine and Canada. The pro-
prietors have contrived clever plan
by which to foil inspectors. The goods
are stored in cupboards or shelves on
wheels. When a lookout gives the
signal that an officer is approaching
from either side, Canadian or Ameri.
can, the proprietor promptly slides his
cupboard or shelves with liquor and
merchandise over into the territory in
which the officer cannot make an ar
rest. This system has been so devel-
oped that it is said many of the houses
are equipped with apparatus by which
the shelves move with the pressing of
a button.
For fifty years the Canadian inspect.
ors and United States government and
state officials in Maine and Vermont
have been struggling to put down the
line houses" but with little success.
This is due to the fact that a success.
full raid can be made only by joint &C.
ton between the officials of the two
governments. The officers must appear
at the Zine house" simultaneously the
Canadians entering from their side and
the American inspectors mailing their
man in case he attempts to shift his
goods into their territory. The opera.
ton in this way is apparently simple,
but because of the limited force of in.
spectOrs and the wide stretches which
they are obliged to patrol it has been
found difficult to secure joint action,
and the houses still flourish A statute
which gives American officials the
right to seize goods contained in a
boundary house upon which duties
have not been paid has not been found
to cover the situation satisfactorily.
When raids have been made and The
goods seized on the ground that proper
duty was not paid the proprietors have
made contests in the courts, and the
victory has not always been for the in
Spectors.
