RUM
ACROSS LAKES
IN TORPEDOES
Booze Smugglers' New Stunt
Discovered by Indiana
PrOhi Chief.
MORE AGENTS ASKED FOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-Whisky-
filed torpedoes, fred across the Great
Lakes from Canada, is the latest ruse
adopted by bootleggers to get supplies Of
liquor into the forbidden territory of
the United States.
Several of the torpedoes, filed with
liquor, have been captured by prohibit
ton enforcement inspectors along the
shores Of the lake.
Maj. A. V. Dalrymple, inspector for
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, laid the details of the scheme before
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer yes
terday.
He asked for twenty-five more agents
for the Chicago district in order to make
more effective the blockade on liquor
shipments.
INTERCEPTED
ONE TORPEDO.
Il intercepted one of the torpedoes
myself" Maj. Dalrymple said, and
therefore I know what I am talking
about.
The torpedo leaves the Canadian shore
at a moderate speed, travelling about
three feet under water
when 1t is near the Michigan shore
it is picked up by men in a small. boat,
who are in the pay Of the smugglers.
Agents under my direction -aptured
one of these boats while the crew was
engaged in taking the torpedo out of the
water.
The Great Lakes are filled with all
kinds of launches engaged in smuggling
liquor from Canada, but we are fast get
ting the upper hand.
We seized more than 81, 500 900 worth
Of liquor in the district during the last
few months.
AGENTS SEIZE
90 900 CASES.
In the last two weeks we seized over
%, 900 cases. We could use many more
men, and that is the reason for my visit
to Washington at this time.
Chicago has only twenty-one agents,
and could easily use fifty"
Commissioner Kramer told Mai. Dali
rymple that the money appropriated for
the enforcement Of prohibition did not
permit him to appoint any more agents
at this time
He said he believed more men could
be used in the Chicago district to great
advantage, but could not supply any
more now.
The commissioner said that enforce
ment of the prohibition law throughout
the country is going along "as well as
could be expected

TARRINGToN's
HAND SHOWN.
A careful study oof the coal situation

| TO rake an immediate settlement in two
of the biggest districts in Illinois.
This is taken to mean by the opera
tors that there will be no Indiana set
Element possible until Harrington makes
an agreement IN Illinois.
On the other hand, the union officers
contend that Il speedy settlement will
be made here regardless Of Frank Far
ringtons ability or inability to perfect
n settlement IN Illinois
The Illinois report has resulted In the
day men remaining stronger than ever
in their demands for IS a day.
The day men frankly state that they
are seeking other employment, meaning
by that they will become diggers Of coal,
because they claim the man who digs the
coal makes the higher wage.
This is considered one Of the serious
phases of the controversy, as the day
men are especially skilled in certain lines
Of work, such as engineering handling
The distribution Of air in the mines, ear
building. blacksmithing and other trades
This Is used as additional argument
that the award made to the day men is
