Prohibition Will Fall Before Blue Ridge
"Moonshine."

1t is observed that the great distllling |
interests are not agitated by the recent |
prohibitory legislation of Georgia and /
other Southern States Why should |
that be a matter of reproach to them
1t is not their fault II they have learned
by experience that prohibition promotes
the consumption Of spirits at the ex-
pense. of the brewers. A barrel of
common beer does not contain more
alcohol than a gallon of whisky, and
for this reason it is much more easy
TO carry on an Illicit traffic IN whisky
than in beer
But what the distillers who advance
a tax of Sl1O a galoln on whisky will
he apt to discover is considerable
increase in the production of the un-
taxed moonshne variety in the fast
nesses Of the Blue Ridge Whoever is
familiar with the mountain region of
North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia
knows what opportunity it affords for
the production Of contraband spirits
The fertile valleys watered by the
French Broad and it's tributaries grow
in abundance the finest apples on the
continent for producing fruit spirits,
and the contraband distillation OF the
| fruit as we'll as corn 10 market in some
remote parts of this region.
one October morning a Government
detective saw smoke rising suspiciousy
over a mountain ridge in Western
North Carolina. on making "a search
he came upon a contraband distillery
with a number of barrels of whisky
ready for delivery As he was going
out a tall mountaineer armed with a
rifle and a brace of pistols met him at
the entrance. and asked: Did any
one see you go in here?" No. no."
exclaimed the frightened detective.

M.CLtSKY GOES TP 4 PEG.
Put In Command Of an Inspection District
Three New Police Captains.

There was a little shakeup in the Police
Department yesterday in which Capt.
H. M McCaferty, head Of the Detective
Bireau, was elevated TO the RAM Of in
spector, three lieutenants were promoted
10 captaincies and several precinct com
rranders were shifted. Capt McClusky
was sent from the Tenderloin to the com
mand of the Bronx inspection district 10
take the place of Inspector Denis Sweeney,
who is on the sick list, and the wise ones
had IL that he had got into the good graces
Of Gen. Bingham 10y keeping the lid on in
the White Light district. The Commits
sioner declared that McClusky's temporary
elevation 10 his former rank was Tor police
reasons oDly.
John +. Linden, Central Office detective.
who headed the civil service list for cap
tains, was the first man promoted. While
Linden hadn't done any brilliant work in
the Detective Bureau, he has a good record
as a policeman and in all the department
examinations that he has taken he has come
out at the top. He is known among his
colleagues az "the bookworm."
Lieuts. Max Steinbr,ick and Horatlo
Young are the other two new captains,
and both stood well up on the eligible list.
Steinbruck was the right hand man OF
former Inspector Adam Cross and has
been on duly in Brooklyn headquarters.
Gen. Bingham sent him 10 command the
Ralph venue station, Brooklyn. Capt.
Young, who has been on duty in Stapleton.
Staten Island. was sent to the Bath Beach
station. Linden remains in the Detective
Bureau and will have charge at night.
E~x-Inspector Weigand. who was deposed
by Gen. Bingham and sent to City Island,
replaces McClusky in the TendeTlOin.
He Ia 10 years old and his assignment to
the busiest precinct in the city is regarded
as an invitation 10 retire. IL is not thought
that he will be able to accomplish the work
required OF the car of the Tenderloin and
his early retirement is looked for.
Capt. John Cooney, Big Bill Devery's
friend, goes from the Ralph avenue station
20 the East Sixty-seventh street station.
succeeding Capt. Nathaniel Shire. who
was sent to the Vernon avenue station.
Brooklyn. Capt. Lawrence Murphy was
transferred from Vernon avenue to the
Prospect Park station. which 10 considered
an easy berth In the department. Capt.
Lincoln Gray goes from Bath BEACH ~
City Island.
II was expected that acting Captain John
McCauiey, who il in command of the Brook
lyn detective bureau, would be promoted
Yesterday. and although Commissions
bingham sent for him he was not APP
pointed, He will probably be the next
captain.
