discredit the story given out by
Frank Hearty, former assistant chief

to be Small is located.

the arrival of persons from Toronto
late today or tomorrow whom he ex-
poets to substantiate his identifica-
ton. The man Hearty has under sur
veillance, he says, has been in Des
M0ines for about six months. He
says he is legless and mentally in
cavacltated as result of an accident
or gun-shot wound.
John Broppy, former chief of de-
tectives here who is working on the
case with Hearty, says the man they
believed to be Small was brought to
Des Moines more than year ago. tie

by John Doughty. Small's former sec

Jamestown, N. d., Aug. 15.-John

RUSH OF BOOZE

is THREATENED
Federal Dry Chief For North
west Worried Over Cana.
dian Courts Decision
CANADA NOT TO INTERFERE
Courts Decide Customs Officials
Have No Right to Stop
Liquor Shipments
CANADA NOT TO INTERFERE

A booze rush from Canada is ex.
pected by federal prohibition officers
North Dakota is one Of the states
through which the rush is expected to
be made before cold weather sets in
Federal agents may not be able tC
curb the traffic, according to a Min
| neapolis newspaper which quoted an
admission Of Emerson e. Hunt, prOhi-
bitiOn director for the Northwest, on
! receipt OF dispatches that the Canadi-
an courts have ruled customs men on
the other side of the northern border
have no right to interfere with ship
ments of liquor into the United States
The Minneapolis News, telling OF the
situation, said: ,..
Boundary Piled High.
The boundary line from east to west
is admittedly piled high with cases
and casks which have already dimin-
ished through large shipments into
the Northwest since the decision
At Detroit, free from interference
on the Canadian side, rum runners
piled back and forth across the river
in launches and other craft in such
numbers that federal agents were
without sufficient forces to deal with
the invasion, information reaching
here today Indicated. Later state
troops were sent there to stop the rum
running.
In North Dakota the situation will
be especially difficult to meet, Mr..
Hunt admitted.
There the runners, already familiar
with the best trails, and established 4
with the border dwellers, will be prac-
tically free from interference, but for
the action of state officials.
Decision of the Canadian courts was
followed by rush of the runners for
clearance papers, it was reported
here. Thousands upon thousands OF
quarts Of bonded liquors wait only for
a time propitious for the move when
they will be transported to cities
throughout the Northwest
In northern Minnesota, Mr.. Hunt
stated, so much difficulty is not ex-
pected as police OF Duluth and Supe-
rior are cooperating in an attempt
to stem the booze flow, thus far very
effectively.
Hampers Minneapolis Drive.
Coming at time when Minneapolis
police are laying plans for an offen-
sive on the city bootleggers, the in
fux of Canadian liquor will make the
task doubly hard, it was conceded.
The first night after the decision
was rendered by Canadian courts, ac-
cording to reports, IS federal agents
failed to stem the stream OF whisky
that crossed the Detroit river in the
open.
1t is pointed out that in Minneapo-
lis, where hiding places are numer-
Gus, officers will experience much diff
ficulty rounding up offenders.
Meanwhile, runners who had ceased
operations on account OF danger on
the Canadian side, are again groom
ing the speed cars for the dash across
the Dakota prairies in quest OF the
cup, which in addition to cheering.
