H0LU YOUR COTTON

for themselves and have not the
means for finding causes. j. Skot-

State Central cotton committe de-

"You can buy cotton on the New

cheaper than you can buy it in the
South. You can buy cotton on the
New York Exchange for July deliv-

could possibly buy middling cotton in
any town in South Carolina. Accord

FEDERAL MEN MAKE RAIDS ON
CARS ON ARSENAL ISLAND TO
GET BOOZE BUT ARREST NONE.

force of deputies allowed Deputy
Coburn 10 make the raids In short
order, causing but little tieup in
trafic.
Street cars are not being search
ed by the Omaha department of
justice agents, their efforts being
conferred solely on vehicles that ply
their way towards Iowa
The six agents are said to be the
ones who conducted the raids on
the wagon bridge between Lyons,
Iowa, and Fulton, Ill, last week.
Lyons is the city adjoining Clinton
on the north. They are SAID to
have made few arrests there, but
their work did not net what was
expected.
When an Argus representative
requested information of one of the
six agents at the arsenal last night
they refused to talk, but indicated
that they were working out of the
Omaha Office
Their next stop is to be Musca-
tine, where they will conduct raids
On the high bridge connecting that
city with Illinois. Heavy traffic in
liquor Is being carried on across
that bridge, it Is said, and some en-
forcement Of the laws controlling
the Importation of liquor into Iowa
is needed
Colonel Harry B. Jordan, Rock
Island arsenal commandant, has
stated that he was unaware Of any
raids being conducted on the island
by United States justice agents.
United States Commissioner c.. L.
Walker has not been informed Off
cially OF the raids, nor have the
deputy United States marshals on
duty at Rock Island and Davenport.
But the booze is still going into
Iowa, those who know say. And it
is not unlikely that It would be a
good idea to search the automobiles
coming from Iowa to this side of
the river.
All the men who are picked up
for being drunk here do not get
the stuff in this city. Davenport
contributes as heavily as Moline In
providing work for the local police.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-04-10

Six representatives of the depart
ment of justice from Omaha have
made no arrests despite the fact
that they nave made raids on the
Rock Island arsenal island each
night since last Saturday in the
search for persons carrying liquor
onto government property and for
those attempting to transport it
into Iowa
A raid conducted last night by
the federal agents was for naught.
Practically every motor car bound
for Iowa was stopped and searched,
but not a bottle of beverage of any
kind was confscated or found.
Whether those who have been
carrying liquor across the Missis-
sippi have been told OF the raids
being conducted or whether the de-
partment of justice representa-
tives are inexperienced In conduct
ing raids, little matters, but the
liquor traffic continues.
Evidently the federal men are
not aware of the fact that Rock Is
land arsenal is not the only con-
meeting link between Illinois and
Iowa. The ferry has as yet not
been neared by the United States
men, nor has the Iowa shore across
from Andalusia, where the five
gallon houses are located, been
watched.
Rowboats and motorboats are
said to be heavily loaded on trips
between the Illinois shore at Anda-
lusia and the Iowa shore opposite
and with liquor as the cargo. 9th
er boats are said to leave Andalu-
STA with cargoes of liquor. but land
