"BOOTLEGGING" BY
PARCEL POST NEW
SCHEME IN KANSAS

TOPEKA, KANS., Feb. Bootleg
ging by parcel post is the latest method
adopted by Kansas outlaw liquor deal
ers and is said to be the one way they
can completely foil the city and state
officials. Evidence gathered by law
enforcers leads to the belief those who
save mems lives" are rapidly taking
advantage of protection afforded them
by the parvel post service. A case was
investigated recently at Wichita which
showed that farmer living on a rural
route telephoned in TO an acquaintance
who handles liquor under cover and
told him to send him pint by parcel
post. The wet goods vender filled the
order
The parcel post rulings say nothing
regarding transmission Of intoxicating
liquors, but provide that all liquors se-
curely incased in a metal or wood COW
ering and packed in sawdust, cotton
or other absorbent shall be received
for transmission by parcel post.
With this condition existing officials
say bootleggers have a great advantage
over them. For the first time since the
prohibitory law took effect third of
century ago liquor can be consigned
in Kansas territory to Kansas territory
without being subject to ,conhscation.
No one but the postmaster or some one
designated by him has the right to open
d parcel post liquor consignment, and
then only if it is believed to not COM
ply with the postal rulings.
