"St. Bridget's will be next and
then l will get the rest
He fled before the fireman could

MAY ELIMINATE
BOOZE SUPPLY

Jacksonville, Fla, April 4.-Sum-
marizing the. accomplishments of spe-
cial prohibition enforcement agents
working in this state under his direc-
ton for the past several weeks, Col.
l.. G. Mutt, personal representative
of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
expressed the conviction in a report
to his chief tonight, that zone of the
greatest sources Of liquor supplies
will be eliminated.
Colonel Mutt came here today to
confer with Florida East Coast rail
road officials and tonight announced
that the railroad men would assist in
every way possible in preventing the
shipment by that DAD of illicit
liquors camouflaged as citrus fruits.
Colonel Mutt is preparing to leave
the state for Washington to report
in person to Mr.. Haynes.
His summary of accomplishment
follows:
Cooperation of public officials of
southern Florida in combination with
similar cooperation of public fficials
of the northern part of the state all
working in close union with federal
agencies
Activity and material aid on the
part of customs officials and officers
of the coast guard, operating in con-
nection with fleet of specially equip
ped and amply armed navy chasers,
making smuggling most hazardous
undertaking.
Helpful support in the way of sup
plying information volunteered by Of
fieials of the Cuban government.
Announced intention by the Ba-
hama authorities to abandon Bimini
as liquor port for the purpose of
concentration at Nassau, making Il
necessary for smugglers to traverse
four times the distance in order to
bring liquor into America.
Action Of railway officials to aid in
every possible way TO suppress ille-
gal transportation, making it impos-
sible to reach northern points with
smuggled goods.
This Combination of achievement" !"
the report concludes, "consigns the
bootleg industry to natural death" "
