Balti more's Stock Gradually Being With
drawn From Bond

Baltimore, Md, July 27-If the present
rate of Withdrawals Of whisky from bond
ed warehouses in Baltimore continues,
the local supply will have been entirely
exhausted within a year. In the mean
time private stocks are dwindling to an
uncomfortable low ebb.
On July of last year the visible supply
of whisky in the local warehouses was
1854, 629 gallons. A year later, on July l
of this year, the supply had been reduced
to 4,095, 455 gallons. This means that
during IL months 3,269, 455 gallons dis
appeared. II was not consumed in Balti-
more. If it had gone down the thIoats of
Baltimoreans, each man, woman and
child would have swallowed 10 gallons
That was impossible. The whisky has been
shipped out of Baltimore to Philadelphia,
New York, Boston, Scranton and other
cities, where it is readily disposed of
Maryland delegates who attended
the recent Democratic National Con-
vention in San Francisco, who got an
insight into the supplies Of that city,
and who stopped off at important cities
going and returning from the convention,
as well as Baltimoreans who have visited
northern cities, agree in saying that Balti-
more is the highest city In the United
States Even the limited liquid refresh
ments obtainable here are said to cost %
per cent more than in other cities. Those
familiar with the limited sales declare,
however, that the Baltimore stuff is the
purest to be obtained anywhere.

with bullet through the forehead, alleged
clues, motives and revelations Of the

from ethereal planes by the thousands and
dumped upon an admittedly hewildered
staff Of the District Attorneys office
All of these occult communications arc
not discarded While disclalmlng any faith
IN Ouila ability as a crime investigator
the District Attorney nevertheless admits
that he has assigned a man 10 the special
duty of reading occult contributions and
TO submit to him personally any conveying
apparently useful information. An anony-
nous communication purportlng to be an
occult revelation may contain a valuable
clue. Mr.. Swami believes, his theory being
that the criminal might use this method
of informing on confederate.
Anonymous communications purport
TO reveal prelude, plot and climax of the
crime.
The missing automatic pistol with
which Elwell was shot has been located
by Ouija boards or other supernatural
means in every part of the Elwell home

was committed down into the basemen,

that will settle 1920's yachting supremacy
will be made today wind and weather

Although their favorite failed to win

comfort in the fact that she was Leading
the challenger by about two miles when

Both yachts prepared for spinnaker
work, but Shamrock. which led Resolute
across the line by two seconds under n full

headed directly off the course for the
Jersey shore under balloon iibs and usual
working sails.
The wind was about four Knots at
the start from the north and the first
mile as sailed quite fast. Then the wind
began TO fade and half an hour after
the start had dropped To mere zephyr
Shamrock, however, still held off the
course and ReSolute followed. During
the first hour the green craft gained n
lead of more than a quarter of a mile,
and IL looked for few minutes IA if she
had a chance To make up the minutes
and 81 seconds necessary for her to win.
Then Skipper Adams showed Skipper
Burton that he could play the luflinp

end of Sandy Hook. Resolute suddenly
jibed of and hauled off ashore. Before
Shamrock could follow, the defender had
slipped into the lead, a position which
she maintained until the postponemeni
signal was blown some three hours later
The yachts worked the Jersey shore
for the next two hours, with the vino
backing and hauling and still keeping
very light Shamrock dropped steadily
