Collector William Loeb having re-
organized his staff so that no revenue
escapes coming in from the sea, will
next devote his attention to the air
A district inspector by day and a
customs Waterman by night, if plans
discussed by the legal division yester-
day are carried out, will be posted on
top of the Singer Building to note the
approach of aeroplanes and lighter

ton and probable landing place and
notify the collector by telephone.

his passengers, if he have any, will be
compelled to fill out a declaration

and submit to thorough examination

Collector Loeb was asked how the
government would collect duty from
foreign machines that do not land in
New York, but at points where there
is no port of entry.
THE Germans have solved that
problem" said Mr.. Loeb. "They signal
a flying machine to stop at the border
and be examined. If the aviator fails
to come down they have a special type
Of gun, with which they can bring
down the average flyer This gun
leaves trail of black powder. In the

CHASING THE HUNTERS WHO
VIOLATE GAME LAWS
Game Warden of Bibb to Enforce the
Game Laws.

Il will prosecute to the fullest ex-
tent all violators of the game laws
who come within my jurisdiction, and
l am determined that this shooting of
bats, cartridges, and other birds out
of season, will come to an immediate
stop, even if l have to patrol the fields
or shooting grounds with deputies
This is the declaration of Game
Warden Riley of Bibb county, and it
has the right ring about il. Prosecute
all violators.
Sumter county needs Riley to pro-
tect the birds here against merciless
slaughter.
The Times-Recorder has called at
tention to the shooting of bullbats
here, an insectiverous bird protected by
special legislative enactment, but the
shooting is continued every evening.
The appointment of a game warden
will be given attention when court
convenes, and it is to be hoped that
some person of efficiency and not a
mere figurehead will be entrusted with
the duty of finding out and reporting
all violators of the law,
Partridges are protected by law
for a month yet, or until November list,
but it is a safe conclusion that thous-
ands of the birds will be killed in
Sumter county by pot hunters and
others before that date

SMUGGLING BY AEROpLANEs.

The fact that the aeroplane is here
to stay, that the number in use will
enormously increase witaln year or
two, that the price will be down so
low as to offer any man of adventur-
Gus disposition the opportunity to have
a private machine, has awakened the
government to the great possibilities
for smuggling and other unlawful uses
of the flying machines.
The old methods of preventing
smuggling will not avail against the
vessel that navigates the air instead
of the ocean. Custom House officers
will find it far more difficult to follow
the trail of the machine that is flying
fifty miles an hour overhead, with its
destination unknown. The army of
officials stationed along the coast and
the Mexican and Canadian borders
will be of no avail against aeroplanes
If bold and INSCRIPTIONS men decide
to convert them into smuggling ma
chimes.
The possibilities of the machine in
this direction are apparent. Take the
mere matter of cigars. What is there
to prevent an aeroplane with a cargo
of costly Havanas from leaving Cuban
soil and landing somewhere in the
wilds of Florida, escaping the payment
of the exorbitant tariff on its freight?
Or what is to keep large aeroplane
from bringing in other more bulky but
equally as costly and heavily burdened
articles of commerce? The risk of de-
lection at the landing place, with all
the country before them, would be
slight. The real danger would come
later in the distribution of the goods.
But with handsome profits assured as
the fruits of success there are plenty
Of men always willing to assume such
risks.
