MILLIONS BEHIND
SMUGGLING DEAL
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ALONG
ATLANTIC COAST TAINTED
BY WHISkEY RUNNERS.
RUN HUNT|NG FLEET WANTED
Fishermen Along the Coast Are Reap
ina Rich Harvest by Running the
Forbidden Cargoes Ashore.

New York. = Federal authorities
along the Atlantic coast redOubled
their vigilance over tramp ships fol
lowing disclosures of evidence indi-
eating the existence of at least two
gigantic international whiskey SNUG
Cling rings, one having headquarters
in this city and one in Atlantic City.
Aid Of the Navy Department was
also being sought in an effort to build
up a rum-hunting fleet, capable of cop
ing with the mysterious ships and
their allied fishing smacks, which are
alleged to have landed hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of contra
band liquor at secluded points under
cover Of darkness.
A tramp steamer cruised saucily
outside the three-line limit of Atlantic
City, according to reports received
mere, and tainted federal agents by
breaking out pennants saying: Lay
down your money and come and get
it, The tramp slipped away as
night fell and it was thought she was
headed for some deserted point, where
fishing vessels could work unhamper-
ed at the task of Tightening her cargo
ashore.
Fishermen along the coast, accord
ing to Mr.. Ross, are reaping a rich
harvest running the forbidden car
goes ashore. They work almost en-
tirely at night, he said.

LOST AUTOS FOUND
IN A QUARRY LAKE
THREE MACHINES LOCATED IN
DEEP WATER WITHIN THE
LIMITS OF THE CITY.
CITY POLICE FOLLOW TIP
A Strong Presumption is That Owners
Drove Their Cars Into the Basin
in Order to Collect Insurance.

Raleigh.-As a result of finding
three automobiles, reported among
hundreds of missing numbers furnish
ed police within the last six months,
insurance agencies here believe they
have found another far reaching angle
to the wholesale thievery of cars
which has baffled officers for months.
Three automobiles, and possibly a
fourth, have been found at the bottom
of ninetyfoot rock quarry within the
city limits. Police investigation and
literal "dragnet" followed tip given
one of the local agencies here.
Only one of the three cars has been
identified, the divers managing to get
it we'll above the water by means Of a
cable tied to the front axle Of the car.
It bore license plate number "a, Wake
county, and inquiry proved it to be a
car reported stolen two months ago
by Milton Muse, local chauffeur. 1t
was insured for $4,000.
The theory upon which the police
and the insurance agents are working
is that owners of cars, unable to sell
their property at any fair price, pu sh-
ed them into the pond, and, after ,e-
porting them to the polise as "stolen,'
collected theft insurance.

IL Hot for 5ootIeggers.

Fayetteville. An intensive cam
paign against bootleggers and immoral

yost officer of the camp; Mayor E. r.
MacKethan, Sheriff N. H. McGeachy,
Chief of Police J. A. Mcleod, City and
County Health Officer E. W. Larkin
and representatives of the press.
General Bowley is much in earnest
in the effort to improve conditions and
made strong plea for cooperation on
the part of local officials, which was
promised him. The general declared
that whiskey is being sold openly to
soldiers in Fayetteville, while the sit
uation as to the presence of undesir-
able women was equally as bad. Some
of the hotels and other places are in
tested with them, he said, and he
would place a guard at the door Oh
every such place to prevent soldiers
from entering them, if it became nee
essary to take such steps to break up
the traffic.
War was also declared on speeding
on the Camp Bragg road, which has
grown to a highly dangerous point.
