BELIEVES 20 STILLS
SUPPLY ATLANTIC CITY
Jersey Constabulary to Be
Used in Search.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 18.-Burton A.
Gaskell. who is in charge of the en-
forcement of the Volstead act in this
county, said tonight that he has OBJ
tained evidence which leads him to be-
lieve that more than twenty moonshine
whisky stills are being operated within
q radius of thirty miles of this city.
1t is from these stills, Mr.. Gaskell
believes that the bootleggers and saloon
keepers Of Atlantic City have been OBJ
tanning their supplies.
Mr.. Gaskell announced that beginning
tomorrow he would enlist the services
of the State Constabulary In the effort
to stamp out the newest form of boot
logging which is reaping high profits
for the moonshiners"
1t Is understood that the stills are
protected by armed guards who patrol
the woods near where the whisky Is
being made. Mr.. Gaskell obtained the
evidence which indicated the presence of
stills while investigating an automobile
accident in which several intoxicated
persons figured.

The Reds had plenty of money then.
They have gone bankrupt now. and this
incidentally means the end of them here
as well as elsewhere. They have no

impotent.
But to get back to Lindenfeld, 1t
would have been the height OF absurdity
for us to have arrested him directly af-
ter the explosion. That would have
closed his mouth entirely. We let him
roam to get this very statement from
him. As a matter of fact. the state

the entire story as he tells it. All we
wanted were his own words.
Had it not been for this blowoff we
would have been about ready to make
the arrests required to close the pursuit
of the criminals. Dut now I am not in
position to make predictions. Some of
the names Lindenfeld gives are familiar

Of that fact. ! merely sent Lindenfeld
to Europe to follow up and locate GER
tain radicals we wanted. Then we sent
two men, whose names l shall not men,

Then l sent Paul Al.erdorf, who. de-
spite what people say about him, has
done excellent service. Later on Sil
vester Cosgrove followed Altendorf. To
Altendorf and Cosgrove, Lindenfeld said
that he had made regular reports. but
that they must have been intercepted
and thus prevented from reaching
Washington. And that may be a true
story. 1t Is hard to tell what he ran
UP against. don't know how they
got this statement out of him. But /
must say that Altendorf was made to
order for this sort of work.
"Altendorf and Cosgrove made regular
reports. Four days before the newspapers
published the fact that Lindenfeld had
made the longed for statement we knew
where every man and woman identified
with the preparation of the Wall Street
explosion was. Now
For that matter we could have ar

Lindenfeld. All we needed was the cor
roboration that this statement provides.

where the money was paid and We know
all the names
Some time ago Cosgrove cabled me
that Lindenfeld was with him In Eu-
rope and wanted to return to New York
and talk to me. cabled back to keep
Lindenfeld there for a while. 1t Is my
impression that Lindenfeld made his
statement to Cosgrove and Altendorf
some time ago and that they were mere
ly waiting to make few important
arrests-to spring the whole thing at
once.
But something went wrong possibly.
Probably the statement fell into the
hands Of people who saw the value OF
making it public-warning those con-
cerned / mean.
II shall be at my office in New York
tomorrow, when l hope to receive Lin

Lindenfeld, 1t is said. was a fimiiar
figure in the coffee houses Of the East
side. Alex Simon, prominent member
OF the Delegates League Of the Garment
Trades, was particularly reminiscent
yesterday.
"Lindenfeld?" he cried when asked
whether he knew him. "I'll say so. Used
to be in the Russian Secret Service back
In 1906. He's terrible bluff. His
statement is a fake. Linde, as we knew
him best, was full of fake stories. Maybe
this statement is all a fake and frame
up any way. You can't believe more

VIII pewrite Fordney Dill.

When Congress reconvenes after the
holldays the bill providing for the fund
ing OF the war debt of eleven billions
owed this country by foreign Govern
ments into obligations maturing not
later than June Is. 1947. and bearing In
terest at not less than per cent. In
keeping with recommendations or Sec
retary Mellon. will he brought before the
Senate by Chairman Penrose Of the Sem
ate Finance Committee. He proposes TO
keep that measure before the senate un-
til definite action Is taken.
In the meantime the Fordney torif
bill will be practically rewritten by the
Senate Finance Committee, with the
hope Of whipping that measure Into
shape for submission to the Senate
proper the latter part of January. Hear
ings on the tariff schedules will be closed
this week.
When the tariff measure comes before
the Senate II undoubtedly will prec!pitate
much debate and some Important amend
ments may be adopted as the result of
the activity OF the minority and the diff
ferent blocs. After its approval by the
Senate II will go back to the House for
the consideration of the amendments
and then to conference. 1t will
probably be some months before the new
tariff law becomes operative. In the
meantime business interests are more or
less unsettled because of the uncertain
provisions of the bill.
The distress OF the Administration
leaders is aggravated by the fact that
about July l there will be great exodus
from Congress. regardless of the state OF
important bills by the members who
will go back home TO spend the remaining
months of the session in campaigns for
reelection. Practically the entire MEM
bership OF the House--435--wills seek re-
election, while thirty-two Senator's must
face the electorate and give an account
of their stewardship In the last six years.

FOR CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION
Charles p. Craig Outlines Plan for De-
vcIopment of Waterways.

Possibilities for cheaper transporta-
ton thru development of waterways
were outlined to 100 men and women
who attended a dinner at Pelletier's
tea room, Friday night. Charles p.
Craig, director of the st. Lawrence
Great Lakes Tidewater association,
told Topekans that Kansas would be
as accessible to water transportation
as is Pittsburgh, Pa. at. the present
time, should the project succeed.
Craig urged creation of sentiment
for the development of the waterways
plan He said the project could be
completed in five years thru earnest
efforts of members of congress.
'If you people of Kansas ere to
continue to produce" said Craig,
"you and all the rest of the great
west must find a shorter road to the
markets. IF you people get your
representatives in congress militantly
fighting for this great project, you
can get it across in five years.
kansas will be as close to the sea
in five years as Pittsburgh. Pa, is
now if the citizens of this state and
other mid-western states unite to
boost the st. Lawrence and Great
Lakes tfdewater project now before

HOLD WAGE POLICY
Miners Convention Again
Backs Up President Lewis.
Kansas Court Law To Be Given
Final Test.

Indianapolis Oct. by an over
wheImning vote, the convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
today adopted President John l..
Lewis's recommendation to postpone
until next February the formulation
of demands to be made by the miners
in negotiating new wage agreements
to suppiant agreements with opera
tors that expire next March 81.
Far behind in its work, the con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America today found itself facing
a heavy program. The jam in work
resulted largely from time lost on roll
calls that consumed most of four OF
the ten days since the conventior's
opening.
The convention will be reconvened
to frame the demands and. while
there was no discussion of President
Lewis's recommendation. other action
by the delegates showed their oppo-
sition to accepting any wage reduce
tions- Immediately before deciding to
withhold their demands until Febru-
airy, the convention unanimously
adopted resolutions pledging h .
unions financial support to Colorado
and Washington miners fighting to
maintain the present scale. More
than 1000 Washington miners were
said to have been on strike the last
seven months, while mines of the
Colorado Fuel &. Iron company were
said to have closed recently after an
attempt to get the men to reduces
wages.
Work started today with attention
centered on the Kansas Industrial
court law, and convention leaders
planned to end debate with approval
of President Lewis's recommendation
instructing union officials to carrv a
test case of the laws eonstitutionaiity
to the United States supreme court.
The program also included considerL-
ton of the West Virginia strike stu
tion and review of the recent Ala
i bama strike which had promise OF
developing another clash between adj
ministration supporters and their OPP
ponents.

yesterday. the convention voted over

and Ireland regarded with complete

Eamonn de Valera to Premier Lloyd

prevailed that both sides are now
showing sincere desire to explore
every avenue in an effort to solve the
ancient Irish trouble
Officials of the Irish office. how
ever. warned the people against the
expectation of speedy results. Both
sides are expected to move cautiously.
THE conference likely will be a
long one, said one Irish official.
Questions with the utmost comlica-
tions will arise, calling for tact and
patience. We hope Ulster will take the
lead in this resect. A quarrel of seven
centuries. duration cannot be settled
in a few weeks and it may require six
months. The people must expect diff
ficult moments before the parley is
over"
End Next Summer.
If the six months prediction is full
filled and the solution is later put up
to the British parliament and the Irish
people for ratification, it may be the
summer of 1922 before the issue is
finally settled and before the status of
Ireland is settled for all time.
The Irish office officials reference
to Ulster was based upon the an
tipathy of the Ulster Unionists to the
aims of the Sim F'ein and
the age-long hostility that has existed
between North and South Ireland. It
was recalled that when Sir James
Craig opened the latest session of the
Ulster parliament he said that Ulster
had given as many concessions as she
could and nothing more could be ex-
pected from her.
