MYSTERY SHIP"
BELIEVED TO. BE
RUNNER
OFFICERS DISCOVER CACHE OF
WHISKEY LANDED ON NEW
JERSEY COAST

Atlantic City. N. j.. July 1S-Pl-
rate operations and reports Of mys-
terious ships lurking along the trade
lanes and dashing away into dark
ness when signalled by merchantmen,
may be explained by the discovery of
blockade runners" landing liquor on
the Jersey coast, revenue agents here
said today. What revenue agents
believe to be the explanation Of the
unusual action OF some ships on the
high seas was brought about through
the seizure of a cache OF whiskey
said to have been landed along a
cove near Wildwood, N. j., from an
alleged mystery" ship.
For several days an unidentified
steamer was seen maneuvering just
outside the three mile limit off Wild
wood Revenue cutters were sent to
watch it. The vessel disappeared,
but not before, officials think, it had
discharged a cargo of whiskey
Prohibition officers declared today
they were confident liquor smuggling
was being conducted on a tremendous
scale. Cargoes worth fortunes are
believed to have been brought from
foreign countries.
1t is thought probable that the
blockade runners" have also trans
ferred the illegal cargoes to vessels
bearing authoritative clearance papers
so the liquor can be landed with other
cargo. Instructed to meet the other
vessel the runner" reaches the rem
devious, approaches various vessels
and, failing TO get the proper sigma,
hurries off to prevent discovery, the
agent believes.

Washington, July 1S.-The house re-
sumed today consideration of the pro-
posed oil tax in the Fordney tariff bill
and by a vote of sixty five to forty,
fixed a limit of 81 hours for debate.
Discussion centered around the Tread
way amendment adopted Saturday
which would transfer crude and fuel
oils from the dutiable to the free list.
The vote might come at 2:30 p. m.
Washington time, but there was de-
mand for a longer period of debate.

Bitter Fight Against Annex
alton Plan Made in Ne
braska Legislature -
Omahans Blamed.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. IA (Special)-
Crediting Omaha politicians with
craftiness and certainty of purposes,
Edgar Howard, former lieutenant
governor and once resident of Sarpy
county, told the Nebraska house COM
Monday afternoon that it would be SO
easy to plant 1000 men of South
Omaha in boarding houses just over
the Sarpy line to swing the bill for
annexation. Mr.. Howard was pro-
testing against the passage Of the bill
providing for the submission to this
voters of Douglas and Sarpy coun-
ties, a proposition TO annex part or
all of Sarry county to Douglas. More
than 100 residents of Sarpy county
appeared before the committee and
appealed for defeat of the bill. They
characterized it is an attempt on the
part Of ambitious Omaha politicians
to swallow up the less populous, but
contented county of Sarpy. The com
mittee deferred definite action.
The senate Monday indefinitely
postponed the bill providing that
women pay an income tax.
