BIC CARGO Of BOOZE
ALERT"
ORLEANS NEW BASIN.
From N. o. States, Monday.

From N. o. States, Monday.
Liquor estimated to be worth In
excess of 100000, believed to have
been smuggled from Nassau, in the
Bahama Islands, and which was be-
ing unloaded from the 60-foot aux
iliary schooner, "Alert" in the New
Basin Canal, less than 100 yards of
the Illinois Central Railroad bridge,
was seized by police last Sunday
night. This is not the first shipment
of booze landed in the New Basin.
Prohibition agents took charge of
the schooner at daylight Monday
and began unloading the cargo.
Prohibition Officer Rouch and Agent
Sonnenberg estimated it at more
than 800 cases. Rare wines and
champaignes, liquors and cordials
which are supposed to be ghosts of
the past, so far as dry New Orleans
is concerned were being stacked in
huge pile on the banks of the canal.
The discovery Of the huge cargo
of liquor aboard the Alert is another
concrete indication of the huge rum
running operations disclosed a week
ago.
Seeks the Higher Ups.
Hugh Larre, prohibition director
for Louisiana, announced that Geo.
NORM, 2759 Banks street, driver of
the truck that is believed to have re-
ceived four loads of liquor from the
Alert before the ship was captured
and to have delivered it to consign-
ees in the city, will be brought to
the prohibition Office sometime Mon
day and questioned in an effort to
learn the name of persons believed
to be in the syndicate of booze run
ners supplying booze to New Orleans
and which, prohibition officers are
convinced, was to have received the
Alert's cargo.
AS soon as the unloading of the
Alert is completed and the liquor is
transferred to the custom house, the
prohibition department will concen-
trate it's efforts to lines of investi-
eating which, it is hoped, will lead
to the arrest and conviction Of the
men "higher up" in the New Or
leans liquor ring, Mr.. Larre said.
The Alert, which is propelled both
by sail and engine hada cargo of
lumber on her decks. It was con-
signed to the American Turpentine
and Tar Company, which is located
about a city block from the point
where the Alert tied up in the canal
to unload her liquor cargo.
The ship was in charge of Captain

Alexander Faye, 4s, of Fenton, Miss.
The boat is said to ply between
Pearl River, Jordan River and Mis-

Captain Faye, and members of the
crew, are held for federal authori-
ties in the Twelfth Precinct station.
Those to be charged with viola

LEANS, LA.
1t was throught Mcguire that the
police learned of the alleged booze
running operations of the Alert.
Sees Booze Unloading.
Mcguire, who probably will be
used as a material witness in the
case, told police officers he had been
to see his mother, who lives on Del
achaise street, near Miro, Sunday
night and discovered that the Alert
was unloading booze.
In order to reach home, he said,
''it was necessary for him to cross
the New Basin. He intended to do
this at Hagan avenue, he said, but
found the bridge closed for repairs" !"
While walking along the canal
bank toward town, intending to
cross the canal at the Illinois Cen
tral bridge he saw the crew of the
Alert busy unloading the booze car
go. He went TO nearby saloon
and had the proprietor phone Capt.
Peterson of the Tenth Precinct sta
ton, who got in touch with the 18th
Precinct Immediately.
Motor Patrolman Conrad, Cor
poral Hoffman of the Tenth, hurried
to the scene of the booze unloading
with squads of policemen.
AS they approached the Alert they
noticed limousine and an automo-
bile truck approaching along the
canal. Both machines retreated on
seeing the officers, the limousine car
escaping amid shots from the police.
The truck, said to be owned and
operated by George NORM, 2759
Banks street, was captured. NORM
is being held. The other machine
disappeared in the darkness before
it's number could be caught.
Four Loads Taken OF.
According to Agent Sonnenberg
four truck loads of the Alert's car
go had been unloaded and carted off
before the arrival of the police.
The spot at which the Alert was
being unioaded was by no means an
unhabitated and deserted spot. A
number of factories are located in
that section of the city and there is
some traffic.

bow to deckhouse, police and federal

officers found, was filled with Haig
and Haig, rare champaignes, Old
Lewis Rye, bottled in 1914, and
other choice varieties.
Much of the whiskey, which was
Canadian club and Scotch was in
the original cases and bore the
stamp of Nassau. Some of the other
bottles were contained in burlap
bags.
An effort will be made to learn
from NORM the name of the party
the liquor was consigned to and who
received the four truck loads, said
to have been unloaded before arrival
of the police.
Already stirred by the uncovering
of huge liquor smuggling operations
through the arrest of Xavier Frey,
a week ago, New Orleans was fur
nished with an even greater sensa-
tion in boozery by the capture of
the Alert.
Captain Faye Interviewed.
Captain Faye was interview by
States reporter at the police station
shortly after his arrest His story
of the manner in which the Alert
came in possession of the booze car
go will not be accepted by the fed
eral agents it was believed.
According to Captain Faye, the
Alert was crossing Lake Borgne Fri
day night with her cargo of lumber
and nothing else-when she sight
ed an oyster lugger in distress be-
tween East Pearl Light and Long
Point. The lugger, according to
Captain Faye, sent up several sig
nal rockets and the Alert changed
her course to give aid.
The lugger was filling with water,
which already had arisen two feet in
her hold, according to Captain Faye.
Being only 40 feet long, the cargo
was too much for her to carry in the
captains opinion.
Three men aboard the oyster car
rier begged for help, Captain Faye
said, and asked that he take the car
go to any port for which he happen
ed to be bound.
Transfer of the cargo of booze
was begun at midnight Friday and
lasted several hours with the crews
of both ships working hard, accord
ing to Captain Faye.
~ agreed to bring the cargo to
New Orleans said the Captain. GAS
we pulled away from the lugger the
crew seemed to be successful in its
efforts to stop the leak and it went
off into the darkness"
Captain Faye said he did not learn
the name Sf tao vessel from which
he obtained the booze. He also told
the police he intended notifying
them of the booze aboard the Alert
at the first opportunity.
Captain Faye talked in his cell at
the Twelfth Precinct station denied
that he knew what the cargo con-
sisted of. He said that he got the

On Christmas eve, at one, all is quiet
Not even a mouse is creeping
about,
The clock is ticking in the same old
way,
Awaiting the coming of Christmas
Day.
On Christmas morn at eight all is
gay,
For the hapiest of all is Christmas
Day,
Dear Old Santa, you're a dandy,
with toys,
And dolls that tickles girls and
boys.
We like your laughter and smile,
They alone would make life worth
while,
But we like the things in your pack,
That you bring to us on your back.
Whistles, rings and dolls are all nice
Yet my tummy calls for candy
and cake with spice,
You are a great dear old Santa,
l love you for all you bring,
Especially for your candy.

"CAVE GIRL" WELL GIVEN
orpheum Players Score Success
With Clever Comedy Of Manners

Orpheum--A lifetime spent in the
woods, learning how to wrest her own
living from Nature, doesn't unfit a girl
to cope, in the more delicate affairs of
the heart, with her more daintily nur-
tured city sisters, according to the
pretty love story unfoded in The Cave
Girl" True, Margot Santerre is very
superior type of cave girl. Her old
foster father, the professor. took her
into the woods to test his theory that
man can live we'll among primitive sur
roundings. And there she met Wall
street magnate's son. who refused to
make the marriage arranged for him,
but who quickly arranged marriage OF
his own with Margot.
The favorites of the Orpheum Players
scored again in this comedy. Ruth
Robinson was delightful Margot and
Dwight Meade met with everybody's
approval as he wooed and won hcr.
Harry Wilgus gave clever impersona-
ton of a guide of the Maine woods.
John W. Lockwood and Molly Fisner
were also excellent.
