Ship Now
Linked With Rum
Smuggling Gang
Elusive Vessel Believed to
Be Delivering Contra
band to Motor Boats Dis
guised as Fishing Smacks

ATLANTIC CITY. July 13.-Internal
revenue agents said here to-day that
the mystery ship" which for the last
week has been noticed off the Jersey
coast might be the parent ship feed
ing fotilla Of fast motorbats dis
guised as fishing smacks. These motor
boats, it is believed, are landing illicit
cargoes of liquor at isolated points
within a hundred miles of this resort.
The capture yesterday of $4,000
worth of whisky of foreign man
uftcaure on four-ton truck as it
pulled through Ocean City on the way
to this place, after having picked up
the liquor cargo at landing wharf at
Wildwood. bears out the suspicious of
the Federal agents. The truck was in
charge Of John G. Letter, Wildwood
expressman, and his son. W. H. Letter,
who asserted ignorance of the contents
of the cases. They said they had been
asked by stranger to pick up the load
and convey it to this city.
A suspicious steamship has been
sighted twice off this city during the
last week, on both occasions at night.
The craft did not carry the lights pre-
scribed by maritime regulations, it is
said, and refused to answer when sig
nails were flashed by vessels she circled.
Word received here from Baltimore
that liquor runners were headed this
way from an island off Florida caused
a doubling Of the guards at points
where the carriers are said to have
been making their landings. Several
Federal agents on board revenue cut
ter are reported to have left here for
Cape May in search Of the auxiliary
boats.

Dry law juries in future may be wet.
Justice H. V. Borst, in extraordinary
term, Criminal Branch of the Supreme
Court, yesterday permitted a dry jury
to smell and taste the wet evidence, and
the jury was out an hour and a half.
When it returned it was in such good
humor that it acquitted the defendant,
who was Benjamin Horowitz, of 1853
Madison Street, charged with possess
ing liquor.
Justice Borst some time ago said that
he would permit juries to smell and
tsste the wet evidence in dry cases.
The first jury to avail itself of this
privilege was the one yesterday. 1t is
expected that others will follow, now
lished.
Odor Was Strong
On April Patrolmen Cornish and
Dolan, of the 7th Precinct, entered a
saloon at 1853 Madison Street. Horo-
They testified that when they entered
Horowitz hastily emptied metal con-
taner. The resultant odor was strong.
Back of the bar, they said, q bottle
was found containing liquor. 1t was
this evidence with which the jury later
refreshed itself. Horowitz said he was
not connected with the place, but had
just dropped in for a glass of water.
The jury believed him.
Seventy indictments were returned
in Brooklyn yesterday, which is the
largest number for one day ever re-
turned by grand jury in liquor cases
since the enactment of the state on
fcrcement law. Thirty cases were dis
missed.

Millionaire Brooklyn Steve
dore Gets Threatening
Note From Philadelphia

James Auditore, of 1880 East Sew
enth Street, Brooklyn, known as mil
iionaire stevedore, received a Black
Hand letter four days ago, in which a
demand for $4,000 was made, it be-
came known yesterday.
The letter was mailed in Philadel-
phia and was postmarked July 8. 1t
was written in Italian and signed
"Black Hand" Under this signature
two crossed swords were drawn. The
letter read:
"Dear Jimmie: We are the Black
Hand and we want $4,000 from you.
We will wait in Park Row Wednesday,
July a3, at / o'clock, and if you do not
do this there will be trouble for you
and your family. We are watching
every step you take. No more to say"
Yesterday Auditore made visit to
Park Row as directed, but the Black
Handlers did not materialize. Detec-
tives Louis Ross and John Dreamer
trailed Auditore on his trip to Man
haitian and then escorted him home.

Statistics Include Cincinnati,
Louisville and Peoria

CHICAGO, July 13.-Crime gener-
ally decreased in Cincinnati. Louisville
and Peoria under prohibition, accord
ing to statistics published to-day by

and public morals Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
In Cincinnati, however. assaults to
murder increased from Is in the last
wet year to 26 in the first dry twelve
months and HOUSEKEEPING from 81 to
81, but these were attributed to the

there were 1924 arrests for drunken

4 Collection OF
Antique Italian

Lacquer rays
AU OUATRIEME
Few people realize the
possibilities of the lacquer
tray as a decoration. If its
size and shape and color
are we'll chosen, the tray
may prove to be just the
note in a whole arrange
ment where neither mirror
nor painting would fit as
we'll. And then it has a
double purpose and may
serve a practical use, for
the tea-table or breakfast
tray, or in halls as the re-
ceptacle for letters, cards
or packages.
In this collection are
gaily painted yellow,
brown. blue and green
lacquer trays with flower
design or gilt Chiroiscric
figures in characteristic at
titudes.
There is a large and
comfortable English black
tea-tray with golden au-
tumn leaves suggestive Of
cozy scenes at that most
confidential of all repasts
Afternoon tea.
Two painted tin trays
from England have pierced
ratings; one oval, painted
with black birds. the other
in darkest green. with a
little French group remi-
niscent of Boucher.
There are smaller Ven
etian trays, round. square,
oblong, in many colors and
designs. Any one would
make a delightful gift or
possession.

CORPSE REFUSES To
LIE IN HIS COFFIN

Poor old sleepy Lexington. hitherto
considered dead, proved to be the livest
and toughest old somnambulist that
ever grabbed pigskin.
1t seems that our neighbor Heppner
some time ago made it known that if
we could find eleven children in our
high school that had an average of
ninety in department, they, meaning
Heppner, would like to play US a game
of football Now you can imagine the
time we had getting up that eleven, es-
pecially as we have only eleven he kids
in our school from abe up, but as they
all proved to be extra good kids and
were anxious to learn how to play foot
ball, (Prof Bennett said that was the
name of the game) we got busy.
Well, the first turn out of the box,
what does our neighbor do but bring
down coffin with the remark that af-
ter the game was over it was custom
airy for all teams that had hitherto
played Heppner to enter said coffin and
go forth to the silent acres.
Well, galdingit, that made us mad
and, o, well, game was called, and say
the way that bunch of grammar and
abe kids of ours plowed up the dirt was
something fierce,
1t seemed that when Heppner did
get hold of the windbag, some little
scamp from Lexington would take it
away from them and run on with it;
finally Louie must of felt sorry for
them, for he tossed the ball to them to
see if they knew what to do with It,
and by cracky, all they did was feel of
it to see if it was made of leather or
wood. Finally Bill got tired of watch
ing them stand there and hold it, so the
scamp run up and took 1t away from
them and run off with it again.
Well, this sort of thing kept up all
the afternoon till the score got up so
high on the Lexington side that we run
out of paper and our pencil got dull.
Some Of the gang was for letting Hepp-
ner score a few more in order to even
things up but it seems that they didn't
have a man on the team that could run
that far or kick it higher than his
head, so what could we do but call it
Sc to Il in our favor and let Heppner
go home, coffin and all--Contributed
