DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 21.-iuge
quantities of whisky flowed into
Michigan despite federal officers at
Toledo in their efforts to prevent
liquor crossing the state line. NO
effective substitute has been found
for the search and seizure section
of the state prohibition law inyall-
dated by the state supreme court.
Approximately 200 whisky runners
were reported arrested by federal
officers on the Ohio side of the
border during the night.
There were no arrests on the
Michigan side. State constabulary
acted largely as traffic officers. Hun
dreds of automobiles, running fend-
ers to tail lights. carried on the tral-
fic all night.
Detroit is the heavily inundated
territory and is wetter than during
the prohibition days, rum run
ners and old saloon men say. Prices
in Toledo are rising under the Dull
movement, while Ohio is drying up
in proportion to the mounting OF the
headache waters in Michigan
Colonel Roy C. 1Vandercook, head
of the state constabulary, said Ii the
government will give him the proper
authority he will stop the flow OF
whisky into Michigan. He was mere
for conference with the United
States district attorneys office TO
determine just how far his men can
go under the Webb-Kenyon law.
II the law gives him the necessary
power. he promised to have his men
outdo all previous efforts to stop tile
importation of whisky.
Many hundreds Of private auto
mobiles, taxicabs and motor trucks
are tanning the roads between here
and Toledo. 1t Is an endless parade,
both sides of the road filled with two
streams-em hurrying to the
mecca of booze and others creaking
homeward.
Saloon Men Exhausted.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 21---Liquor
stocks were practically depleted,
hotels were packed and saloon en-
ployes exhausted here today while
nolicemen had been called in to pro-
tect liquor dealers 100000 to $4,000
daily receipts after two days busl-
ness with Michigan runners"
The flood of whiskey pouring into
Michigan from wet Ohio was the
result of revocation by Detroit
Judge of a search and seizure act.
It is estimated 100000 gallons OF
LIQUOR have been taken to Michigan
since the bars were let down.
Injunction Granted.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 21.-Judge
Root, of the circuit court, at Monroe,
Mich, today granted an Injunction to
prevent any person from carrying
liauor into Michigan. The grounds
were that it is against the constitl-
tion and the dry laws Of the, state.
State constabulary officers and
deputy sheriffs were despatched to
the state line to arrest all liquor
runners
Liquor Poured Out.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Feb. 21.-Sixty
