DRY NAVY SEEKING
REPORTEDFLOT|LLA
OF RUM RUNNERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--By the AS
ISOLATED Press 1.-THE dry navy today
put out to check a great flotilla of
rum runners which has started for
New York and other points along the
eastern seaboard with a stock of
Christmas liquor.
Reinforced with extra boats hasti-
ly pressed into service, the regular
fleet has taken to the ocean to lay
for nearly 100 bootiegging craft,
which are said tc DE tearing up from
the Bahamas with $4,000 to 100000
cases of liquor, or to be lying off
shore waiting for the seagoing rum
runners to arrive. Orders have been
issued to halt every ship which looks
suspicious.
Supplementing the statement of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in
New Orleans yesterday that the gulf
was filled with smugglers, local Of
ficials declared that bootleggers
were lowering just as thiclly off the
Jersey and Long Island shores.
Ashore, dry agents were patroll-
ing hooks and bays, ready to pounce
on every suspicious craft. New York
harbor where q steam lighter was
seized Sunday night off the Statue
of Liberty with whiskey hidden in
her cargo of coal, was under/partic-
ularly close watch, with the harbor
police cooperating.
Dry agents also were scanning the
skies, for receipt by business men of
circulars from a Montreal concern,
offering to deliver Canadian rye at
$57 a case, gave rise to renewed re-
ports that liquor was being SNUG
gled over the border by air craft.
One of the first hauls reported in
the Christmas drive came this morn
ing, when two detectives padding
around in Gravesend bay captured
a fishing smack carrying $50 cases.
Olaf Johnson, skipper of another
smack, explained a cargo of liquor
found in his fish by stating that
ten days ago he had picked up
waterlogged dory in which were two
men and thirty bags of liqour.

Negro Leader Ends
Good viii Tour in
Georgia at Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. CDR.
Robert r. Motion, principal Of the
Tuskegee institute, with twenty four
colored associates, concluded here
Sunday his good will tour of 1900
miles through Georgia, in which he
spoke directly and frankly during
the last week to $4,000 white and
colored people on practical methods
of cementing cordial and sympathetic
relations between the races.
"The best blood of the SOUTH" said
DR.. Motion in his closing address,
"has haid that lynching must be stop
ped, and the courts must govern.
We are all safer with the constituted
authorities than with the bowling
mobs."
Never before have the colored
people had more white friends,
friends who are courageous, than
they have today in the south, as
well as in other parts of the coun-
try. l count among my best friends
many of the finest white people of
Tuskegee and Montgomery, of Ala
bama, Georgia and other southern
states.
There are more clashes" he add
ed, within the two races than there
are between the races. The south
suffers too often because the bad is
flashed all over the world and the
good, because it is not news, is ig
nOred"

RESUMED BY TEXAS
BY JAMES II. RECORD
LEASED Wire Service to The Jonrnal.)
lCopvriuhf 1900


FORT WORTH, Dec. 6.-After a
years interruption, the movement Of
Texas cattle into Mexico has been
resumed on heavy scale.
Shipments in the last week have
been the heaviest of this season and
were so large that inspectors of the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Rails
ers' association made special reports
of them to the association. Over 5000
head of cattle went through Ell Paso
alone.
These shipments represent big
source of revenue to Texas stock
men.
Unemployment is growing slightly
in this state, according to the en-
ployment bureaus throughout Texas.
The approach of cold weather, which
has lessened outdoor work, the flock
ing of workmen to the cities, and the
arrival of many from the north are
assigned as the reasons.
