the United States Marine CeFPs have
been asked by Mrs. Edward Walker

this city. among them being Mrs, F..
c. Perkins, 2145 California street
northwest. with when he had a din-
ner engagement en- Labor day. The
Lieutenant broke the engagement,

SAYRUMRUNNERS
ARE ACTIVE HERE
Revenue Agents Seek Liquor
Transported Overland to
D. c. From Two States.

\ drive on "bootleggers" engaged
in transportation of whisky into
Washington from Perth Ambey, n J.'
and New York city has been started
by revenue agents here, it was stated
teday by member of the investisasr
ing force of that organization: Bruce
Taylor, assistant field supervisor for
the bureau, is in charge. ana l.. D
Evans is assisting in the work.
The cause Of the investigation, 1t IS
understood. is the large amount OF
whisky which is reaching the city
almost daily through the ce-erdlnated
activity of a number Of expert whisky
runners.
System Of Signals Adopted.
A system of pilot ears and signals
of danger has been worked out eS
the beatlegeers and whisky runners:
A double pilot car system is founa
most effective. The method OF Work
ing is as follows: 4 feet starts from
the whisky center. loaded with intox-
icants. 1t may be cemposed OF three
large touring cars. and two Speedy
scout readsteFs. Through back ROADS
and uHtraveled routes the ears cruise
through the night toward WashlngE
ten. Regular relay points nave neeh
picked out, it is believed.
On reaching the city limits the next
move is TO smugele the cargo past
any guards which may have been sta-
toned for the discovery of such eases
Pilot car No. leaves the seoend and
shoots far ahead down the road. In
case nothing suspicious occurs II drope
directly into the very location where
the whisky 10 to- be delivered. In
case it believes a road Is dangerous
it makes a deteuf and returns to warn
off the feet.
The second pilot car is en- the look,
out for any emergency steps needed
after the first one has passed danger
points. 1t forms the Immediate body
guard.
Aaatkes FsetaF in SeheRs.
The other factor is the danger sig-
nal. The first pilot arrives some time
before the feet is due. In case
suspicious activities are in progress in
the neigh borhood it hangs out cer-
tain type Of parking lamp, and its
driver departs. There's the car SIM
ply parked on the street. warning
to the second pilot car. which dashes
up for a quick survey. Danger dis
covered, the heet is taken to a sec,
ond locality, whore the reserve reh-
devious may be located. In case there
is danger there, the heet on arriving
passes along on its voyage to a third
point. There 1t must shift for itself.
In some cases. where the third point
is covered. some friendly car in the
city may light Up a danger parking
lamp to warn of the bootlesgers.

LAKE CITY WATER SYSTEM

Lake City, Jan. 25.-Mr. Coates,
superintendent of construction of
waterworks, is in Lake City to look
after the installation of mains for the
new water system, that the town
voted at considerable cost. In addition
the ice plant has let a contract to
have its capacity trebled, the demand
being so great here in the past year
for ice, and the town having grown
considerably in the last few months.
There are many other Improvements
contemplated for the town in the near
future, among which is better light
ing system, paving, better railroad
connections and a greater speed in
building, which though great is not
fast enough to take care of the peo-
pie who have come in for business or
for home sites.
