legGevs" and other border lawhrcakeTs
who thrive upon the Illicit traffic be-
tween countries characteristic OF all
borders. have turned their attention to
smuggling sugar into Mexico.
Sugar is OH the American embargo
list for the period of the war. So is
lard and also -four and butter and
other foodstuns. But sugar is the most
popular commodity with the smugglers.
1t is easy TO carry across. does no,
spoil. and can always be disposed of
at high price once 1t is over the
border. The smugglers match their
wis against those Of the govern
ment's Eeenest Secret Service men,
taking their winnings in American gold
and their losses in the Federal peni-
tentiaries.
Although bustles went out Of style
many years ago the wearing OF them
has been revived by the sugar
smugElers. The Mexican women OF
ample girth wear the rude canvas
bustles more for revenue than for
style. Concealed in the pockets OF
their bustles are pounds and pounds
Of sugar. Mexican women confed-
crates OF the 5mugglers fasten these
cumbersome affairs about their waists
under their dress skirts and walk o,
ride across the International Bridge
until some curious inspector discovers
the ruse and stops the practice by
placing the smuggler in Jail.
Kerosene cans are converted into
sugar receptacles by having the top
cut off, false bottom made TO con-
tain a pint or less OF kerosene and
the remainder of the space in the can
filled with sugar. Ten-gallon milk
cans have a milk container in the
center, wit. sugar packed around it
in the remainder of the space. Three
Of these cans were discovered with
100 pounds of sugar in each.
Petticoats with pockets sewed to
them. waists padded with sugar and
extra-size stockings filed with sugar
are used by the smugglers and their
confederates.

DETROIT. May 1S.-Quantity pro-
duction is to be the watchword of the
great Ford shipbuilding yard which
is being erected here for the construc-
ton Of the United States Navy
Eagles" the little vessels which, it Is
hoped, will help rid the seas of Ger
man U-boats.
The assembling plan has been greatly
elaborated. and will be applied to the
building of the Eagles" The raw
material will enter one end OF the
plant. TO emerge at the other end a
completed lighting craft Each Of the
little vessels will be passed along by
powerful machinery from one group
Of workmen to another. and. as 1t
passes. each group will add something
To the boat.
When the last rivet has been driven
in the steel hull, the boat will be
picked up bodily by powerful
hydraulic lift and deposited further
down the ways. where Skilled work.
men will install the motor equipment.
Three ways have ben constructed.
each to hold seven of the submarine
chasers. 1t is generally understood
that the plant will be able to put into
the water one completed Eagle" a
day. and some estimates have placed
the number as high as three for each
twenty-four hours.
There will be no champagne chris
Jennings nor elaborate launching cere-
monies. No efforts are being made to
give the boats any touch Of artificial
beauty, the sole effort being to turn
out with as great speed as possible
an efficient weapon against German
ruthiessncss on the seas. Government
secrecy shroud the major details of
construction.
IF these boats will hasten the end
of the frichtful carnage and bring a
lasting peace, there will be no occa-
sion to worry over the cost" said
Henry Ford in discussing the project.
This is your war and my war. and,
although we did not make II. we must
see 1t through TO successful conclu-
sion"
Sixty days ago the land on which
the plant is being erected was a desc
late marsh. vast acreage OF mud.
through which wandered aimlessly a
sluggish river. Now it Is a network
Of railroad tracks. with locomotives
running between great buildings OF
steel. tilo and glass.
What engineers here say Is one Of
the largest buildings in the world will
be used to house at one time score
OF the little vessels. 1t is 100 feet
long and 800 feet wide. The building
where the boats are to be assembled
is fully half n mile from the Rouge
River. The launching basin adjoins
this building. and thence a channel is
being eXcavated to the river.

STATE CLOSES CASE. OF SON CHARGED WITH AGED MOTHERS DEATH

Motion for the dismissal Of the case of Charles Hollingsworth, charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Ellen Hollingsworth, will be argued before Justice De SouZa Monday.
 The state rested its case yesterday when the preliminary hearing was con- tinued from week ago. After the state had completed its evidence, F. c. Struckmeyer, for the defense, stated that he would argue for a dismissal for want of sufficient evidence" which he quickly corrected to flor want of any evidence" Owing to the crowded condition of the court calendars it was necessary to hear the arguments out side of regular court hours, and Jus- tice De SouZa announced he would take up the matter at 7:30 o'clock to- morrow night.
 County Attorney L. M. Laney at- tempted to show motive for the mur- der by the fact that Hollingsworth might be the chief beneficiary under his mothers will. He called for J. H. Langston, who is alleged to have drawn up the document, but owing to objections, the disposition Mrs. Hol- lingsworth made of her property was not revealed. The county prosecutor then attempted to show by Bert Hol- lingsworth, brother of the accused man, that Charles would profit by his mothers death
 Did you not tell me that your brother Charles said he would be the chief beneficiary under your mothers will?" asked the county attorney.
 "No," was the prompt reply.
 Several weeks before Mrs. Hollings- worth's death, which occurred at the family home, 36S North First avenue, on November 30, Bert Hollingsworth visited here from St. Louis. During his stay the brothers quarreled bitterly and Bert complained to the county at- torney's office of his brothers treat ment of his mother. He admitted on the stand yesterday that he had re- ported to the officers that his brother had kept his mother in bed by violence when she wanted to get up.
 He said he also told that he had heard his brother and aunt say that Mrs. Hollingsworth would soon be out of the way. That Charles bound and gagged the patient and gave her mor- phine also were statements that the witness admitted he made. In another breath he testified that there was nothing UNUSUAL m CnarleS cOnOuct while he was in the house and that he had never witnessed any trouble between him and his mother.
 After the witness had contradicted himself half a dozen times, Mrs, Lil- lian Brogan, next-door neighbor, was called to the stand. She testified as to threats made by Charles to his mother and said she frequently heard him curse and use vile language to her.
 pr. Bailey, who signed the death certificate, testified that Mrs. Hol- lingsworth died of arterio- -sclerosls with cerebral hemorrhage. He said that he prescribed morphine tablets te be administered by her son. He de- clared it was not at all unusual for delirious patient to be tied to the bed.

An income of s2.ooo month and a back debt of $27,0o0 is alleged to be the settlement made by the Mckay family with Mrs. Angus Mckay. who claimed to be the wife of the dead mining man and sole heir to his s1,200,000 estate. Mrs. Mckay told close friends yesterday that she was leaving at once for New York, where the final settlement would be made
 Shortly after McKay's death the all legged widow filed a petition for letters of administration of the estate. The Mckay family in Montreal immediate ly instituted proceedings in which they attempted to show that Mckay had written letter to his brother a few weeks prior to his death in which he made disposition of his property.
 The relatives asked that the letter be produced in court, but when the time came for the appearance of Mrs. Mckay she had left the courts juris- dietion. On her return from Califor- mia, she was placed on the witness stand and forced to submit to a grill ing cross examination.
 Mrs. Mckay admitted that she had seen letter written by Mckay, but that it had been stolen by a nurse who cared for Mckay during his last

Sunday morning, according to pro-

attended divine service to comment
crate the day. The old soldiers and
the w. R. C. were escorted to the Con-
gregational church by the Uniform
Rank Knights of Pythias. There were
only seven old veterans in the line,
but that small handful represented
some of the greatest principles that
have been fought in all time and his
tory. We are going through just
such another period in this great war,
only instead of fighting to preserve
our own nation, we are fighting to
preserve all the nations of the earth.
God grant that the world will never
again see another war after this one
is finished. There was special music
by the chair and Rev. w. C. Lyons
preached a forceful sermon suitable
to the occasion.
