the bootlegging operations out of the

Except In those musty volumes Of history
perused mostly by those to whom smoky
Scotch means no more than a dose of wood
until the dreary blight of bone aridity
settled upon the neighboring States. Though
only about fifty miles as a crow would fly
from Miami, Bimini gave sustenance to a
nondescript, discouraged, freedom loving,
work hating, shiftless population, that
rarely IL ever passed six or seven hundred.
Now 1t Is rising-note the bestowal upon
It of the presence, for instance, of Honest
John.
Regularly twice a week steamships from
Miami set down upon Its shores excursion
lists In numbers which only a few years
ago might easily have doubled the popu-
lation Of the island. Others there are who
come-in cabin airplanes carrying ten pas
sengers In wicker chairs and beside open
portfolios that let In the tropic breezes; in
palatial yachts bearing the insignia of all
the big yacht clubs of the world in more
reserved craft denotlng lesser fortunes in
tenders and launches from houseboats and
Florida boat clubs.
Instead Of shores of dreary waste and oc-
casional palm trees these excursionists look
now upon the modern clubhouse of the
Bimini Bay Rod and Gun Club, which is
extensively advertised across the waters in
Miami for the delectation Of Americas g
tired, or retired. or dry, business man, his
wife and his friends. And stretching away
across the island beyond the clubhouse some
have seen queer looking structure, tar
pauln covered, rising In rows and columns
and made up Of square box like units
1t Is a structure of whiskey, destined
well, the ways OF Bimini are MS much a
mystery as Is its sudden dip into popu-
Iarity, or the exact occupation Of Honest
John Kelly upon the island which Ponce
dc Leon obviously left for John TO find.
There are those who In recent months have
counted these rows of cases of wliiskey and
then multiplied the results, to arrive at
the conclusion that II requires In the neigh
horhood OF 10000 cases of booze to make
up the whole structure. And on the face
Of the boxes there Is not lacking single
one Of the brand names that, exhibited on
Broadway to-day, would cause nothing less
than a riot.

amount Of American stock that Is there

but 1t was disappearing fast. Sufficient

to 25 cents.

Smaller Boats Quick to Meet
The Ship Laden With Liquo

Arrived Mt the designated spot the ship
rarely has long to wait In the dark for the
signal that announces the arrival of the
smaller boats to which the booze Is to be
transferred. This is accomplished quickly
and easily in good weather; with consider
able danger and frequent injury or loss of
life in bad blows or rough seas Then the
ship, free Of her Illicit burden, proceeds
peacefully along her way to her next port
of call without the slightest trace of sus-
piclon attaching TO her. She never has ap-
peared within sight of land with any Of
the contraband aboard.
Still under cover of darkness the tinier
vessels that have received the precious
burden skim inside the three mile limit.
These craft are plloted by men who know
every inch of the inland waters AS they
approach land, and when the proper depth
of water Is reached. the sacks are taken
one by one and lowered gently over the
sides Of the smaller craft. There is n slight
splash, a ripple and the sack sinks to the
bottom.
On goes the little bobbing vessel. perhaps
- hundred yards or so. Then overheard
soes another sack. And so on up or down
the coast; sometimes inside Biscayne Bay,
whereon rests Miami Beach and the swiftly
expanding city Of Miami some up or down
the Indian River, the inland route to Palm
Reach, or the Miami or other rivers or
sheltered waters
The operations Of these smaller boats
always are completed before daylight. so
that when the tropical sun blazes the
only trace left of the bootleggers is the
occasionally bobbing cork. we'll out of sight

Honest John Kelly Among Those
Tasting the GIories of Bininl

There are fountains In Bimini to-day
hut they are fountains not of youth per-
petuatng waters. They are literal geysers
OF booze and gold and Of refuge for the
tired resident or visitor to Florida. Here
the best Of the worlds store of alcoholic
beverages may be had In the old fashioned
way and from here too they may be OBJ
tained In ways that are new ingenious
unique, but never failing.
Lord Astor tasted recently OF the glories
that are Blmini,s. Honest John Kelly,
whom Broadway and other parts of New
York's night life has known for long, IS
tasting Of them. and only few days ago
Col. Lou Belts. who recently was sheltered
by the Commonwealth of Virginia against
the strong arm of Nassau county on Long
Island, was only forty miles away In
Miami, gazing wistfully across Biscayne
Bay In the direction whence stretches
Bmini Its rapidly rising wells of pleasure
and Of wealth, and Honest Johns good for
tune.
Let there be no mistake regarding Hon
est John. He Is not forsalSing his trade.
He Is not n bootlegger. Whatever the
exact reason for his presence on the island
Of Blmini may be he has had no part in

quently, and we'll versed in the old chant
that places fifteen men on dead mans
chest. Drink and the devil has done for
many of these but those that remain never
were more prosperous In their carefree,
criminal lives.
Others of the rum runners are smaller
craft-anything from twenty-five to hun
dred feet in length can make the trip to the
nearest Bahama Islands from Florida in
good weather and smooth seas. Almost any
island they strike can and will for a price
yield a cargo Of booze, and the tiny islands
say in the vicinity of the estate near
Miami of James Deering-will provide a,
hiding place, once the string and corks are
attached to the ten bottle sacks. The Deer
ing estate is one Of the biggest of Miamis
show places, and more than one visitor to
that vicinity has wondered at the queer
antics of equally queer looking men dart
ing furtively about in small boats which
seemed to be headed nowhere but never
theless were dreadfully in earnest in get
ting there.
While the price of the bootlegged booze
varies outrageousy once 1t gets into the
United States, it remains about stationary
In Nassau In the main port of the Ba-
hamas all the standard brands go to the
bootleggers or their secondary gatherers of
the stuff at from S35 to $45 case, accord
ing to the brand. These prices rise once
the outlying islands are reached, despite
the fact that the sale of liquor there is
entirely legitimate.

Miami and the other nearby coast resorts
in Florida. Primarily, the Rod and Gun
Club is what Its name implies, and its ad-
vertisements feature the genuine sport to
be had toying with the game fish Of the
Gulf Stream. But even United States At
torney Howell, for the district embracing
Miami, knows the difference between
Broadways fish and those of the Gulf
Stream, and recalls the presence on Bimini
of Honest John.
While the further one gets In Florida
from Bimini, the greater becomes the repu-
tation as booze supply station for Miami
and its environs, it is likely there is
less potent liquid smuggled from there into
Florida than from any other of the Bahama
Islands from where the stuff is run across
the prohibited shores Bimini has its own
advantages and Its own influences and
apparently It's native population has seen
the wisdom of not taking too big a chance.
Booze there is aplenty, but its natives
have chosen for the most part to have
those who would partake of 1t come and
do so.
Wondering Why No Passports
Are Required to Reach Bahamas
StiH, District Attorney Howell and Chief
Dillon of the Miami police force are won
dering together how II came about that the
Bahamas. of all the places In the wide
world, should be exempted from the pass
port regulations Of the United States. OF
course, they recognize the closeness of the
Biminl Bay Rod and Gun Club and the
desire Of a good many Americans to take
advantage of the opportunities 1t affords.
Srill, there are those In Florida who won
der why the single passport exemption
should have been applied to British pos
session, where almost no American capital
Is invested. where comparatively insignifi-
cant American sales are made, and Cuba,
over which this country exercises at least
n moral protectorate, in which more than
S1OO000,00O of American capital is In
vested, and where American statesmen now
In streams at this time Of the year, should
not receive similar consideration. Truly,
say those who spend hours arranging vises
for their passports while preparing for a
business trip to Havana. the ways OF Wash
ington are unique.
Getting drink In Miami embraces about
the same difficulty as obtaining hotel ac-
commodations, which Is mainly a question
OF price. To all intents and purposes,
Miami, so far as a casual drink of booze
Is concerned, Is unaffected by Mr.. volstead
and ell his works and pomps. or course,

Pretty Little Penitentiary
Sometimes Houses a Conch

Sometimes conchs have been caught run
ming their booze galleons out to waiting
ships at sea. And sometimes they have
been locked in jail--n the pretty little
penitentiary In Nassau. But even that has
its compensations. for in that near by land
where 1t still Is no crime to sip highball
or drink it straight some one with real
touch of humanity In his makeup was given
the Job of making the bastile walls-they
are not high as such things goa little
more difficult to climb over. So the top
of the wall Is covered with broken bits Of
glass.
And the glass forms the remnant Of Cor
don gin bottles. Square ones Like those
Broadway once fondled on hot summer
nights when real rickeys still could be con-
structed.
Could the queen resort of the tropics
which means the city Of Miami-have
chosen congenlal neighbor for these days
Of questionable drought there seems little
doubt that her choice Immediately would
have fallen upon the island of the Ba-
hamas that is closest 10 the Florida coast.
One of the mysteries OF the seven seas Is
this queer, quaint little islet of Bimini,
bearing n name so strange that apparently
Ponce de Leon sought II vainly in the days
OF Spanish colonization. for through the
Towering beauties Of the new found land
there came TO him the whisperings of the
natives that 'in Blmini" there was gold
and the wonderful fountain whose waters
held the secret of perpetual youth.
AS Miami wakes strong now upon the
patronage Of winter sojourners from the
North, Blmini in the dawn of bone
wetness extends an alcoholic arm across
the Gulf stream, and quite regularly little
ships-and sometimes airplanes that do not
claim Miami as their home port-put ashore
well saturated persons who turn up later
TO add to the worries Of police court JUS
tices. For intoxication these days Is by
no means an unknown charge to be placed
against prisoners in Miami. Indeed, II Is a
