DECLARES LITTLE
SMUGGLING OF
LIQUOR IS DONE

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE day
OF h rum snuggler in northern
Minnesota Is waning, federal custom
agents here declare.
Harris Bannett, customs chief of
the government forces along the
Canadian border on his return from
an inspection tour of the border pa
troll recently. said the illegal trans
p%ortation OF liquor from Canada into
the United States which a wear ago
reached the maximum stage, has de-
creased to practically nothing.
Few than a dozen and a half bot
ties of liquor have, been confiscated
during the past two months n the
operations of whisky runners in
northern Minnesota was declared at a
standstill by the inspector.
Fedora agents also have found
similar conditions. it is reported.
While this department of the gov
eminent enforcement squad continues
to apprehend illegal manufacturers
OF liquor on a large scale, few, in
fact no arrests for whisky smuggling
are reported for the year..
enforcement of the drs law. which
went into effect in Ontario on July
ID, last. and increasing of the border
patrol, is given by agents as reason
for the falling off in this once ire
mendously large business. Closing
Of the liquor warehouses in Ontario
abolished the last spruce of supply for
the rum runner, and no more do the
thrilling stories of escapades and cap
lures OF. these smugglers emanate
from the border country.
Three government agents are sta
toned on the bridge at International
Falls, one Of, the main routes into
Canada These agents examine both
automobiles n occupants Coming
across the border from Canada. Four
men are stationed at Rainier to exam
inc passenger boatsa which touch
American ports.
Where, according to agents. booze
was brought into this country by the
case this time last year via III boat
route, only an occasional quart is now
c~onfiscated by the agents there.
The Rum Cook, government sub
chaser. the aid of which was enlisted
last summer when the illegal whisky
traffic on Lake Superior increased to
beyond the control of the custom
agents, has had but little to do this
year, agents declared.
This craft was QUILTED and out in
to service this year with a larger force
in anticipation Of a probable rush for
liquor into this country through the
waters. However, so far,
not a single whisky laden craft has
been accosted this summer. according.
to agents.
During the summer of 1920, the
Rum Cook became famous as an eff
fectiVe damper against whisky SNUG
Cling on the border waters. Hardly a
day passed but what this speedy little
craft figured in the capture of whisky
laden craft.
Over the same course the Rum
Cook night and day now plies it's
meat" ove the lake. but its crew
has found that fishermen and others
who ono forsook their regular
trades to follow the storm path of the
b%ootlegger have returned to their less
hazardous occupations. STD

Henrietta Ellery
Claims Distinction

Newport. R.. l., Aug. 11.-Henrietta
Charming Ellery Of this city has the
distinction Of being the last surviving
grandchild of a signer of the Declara-
ton of Independence. She is the
granddaughter Of William Ellery.
Miss Ellery was born April s, 1888.
and a lived her entire life in New
port. Neither she MOI her sister,
Mary, long since deceased, ever. mar
ried- For a great many years they
made their home in the Ellery
homestead on Thames street. the
home Of their grandfather, but this
house Is no longer standing.
The Newport chapter OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton is named after this signer of the
Declaration of Independence. It was
at, the invitation of. Miss Ellery that
the chapter was formed in his house
in 1896. She has always been deeply
interested in the chapter and kept up
her active membership in it. attending
all meetings as long as her health
permitted.
The trunk that William ElIery took
with him from Newport to Washing
ton when he went there to sign the
declaration. is in possession OF the d.
A. R. chapter, a gift from the Misses
Ellery.
Opposite the old homestead the
family owned a three cornered piece
| Of land at the apex Of. which stood
the Liberty Tree. A few years ago
Miss Ellery presented this land to the
city for park purposes. It has. been
improved, beautified and the city has
honored the donor by christening it
"Ellery Park"

OUTLINES
REASON FOR TURN
TOWARD FREE TRADE

Riga, Latyia, July 21.--(Mail.) -
The Moscow Pravda, official organ Of
the central committeeaof the Russian
Communist party, recently printed the
complete text of a speech sby Lenine,
before the summer conference Of the
the reasons for the recent changes
toward free trade in Russia.
1--WE openly, honestly and frankly
say to the peasants" Lenine Is quoted
as saying, that in order to keep on
the, road to Socialism; we make many
concessions to- you, peasant comrades,
but only within certain limits. and to
a certain extent and, Of course, these
limits and the extent we will de-
termine ourselves: The concessions
bear upon the distribution of the
burden, the greatest part Of which
hitherto fell to the lot of the pro-
letariat, but not on the+peasantry.
During the three and a half years
of the dictatorship of the proletariat,
the latter took upon itself more
hardships than did the peasantry.
This is an obvious truth and cannot
be challenged. y
1.-The question, as to the mutual re-
lations between proletariat and peas
antry stands as follows: Either the
peasantry comes to an understanding
with US, and we accord them eco
nomic. concessions, or it is a fight.
That is why all other arguments are
nothing but undiluted nonsense.
Every other road leads in reality
only to Muliukoff, that Isl to the res
%toration of the estate owners and
capitalists, but we say that we are
willing to make any concessions sc
long as they are~within the limits Of
a policy which tends to support and
strengthen the proletariat, which, II
unfaltering, in spite of all hardships
and obstacles, make for the destruc.
ton OF class distinction, and for the
munism."

mary to paying a five dollar poll tax
