Shots With Customs Off

TWO OTHER LOADS
OF BOOZE TAKEN
Automobile Directory Gives Registra-
ton of Car 4O67 Under Name of Clara
A. Arms. but No Such Person Is
Known by Local Officials

Local police officials were on the look
out all day yesterday and last night for
a Buick automobile with a Vermont
license plate with the number 4067
which avoided capture by the customs
officials at the Canadian border near
Island Pond after an exchange of shots
last Friday night. The mystery of the
disappearance of the car has been fur
ther deepened by the fact that the regis
tration of the car in the state motor
vehicle register is under the name of
Clara A. Arms of Brattleboro. Inquiry
by local officials fails to show that any
one by that name lives in this town or
has lived here.
The Buick was one of three cars
which attempted to get past the officials
al Island Park. The Buick was first in
the procession and when the driver was
asked to stop he stepped on the gas and
sped along. The customs officials lost
no time in drawing their reyolyers and
firing at the ear, the fire being returned
by the men in the escaping car Appar-
emily the customs men failed to damage
the tires of the car, as its speed in
creased and in a few seconds it was out
of sight. The second and third cars
were stopped and 2S eases of booze were
f0und IN one car and 80 IN the other.
Immediately the police in all towns
in this and neighboring states were noti-
fed and a watch was set, but thus far
the much wanted car has failed to ap-
pear here.
The name in the automobile register
is thought by the officers to be fictitious.
and it is believed by them that the name
was chosen by rum runners in order to
serve the bootleggers in just such an
emergency as has haDpeupd
Local officials were in telephone com
munication with the customs officials
last night, but at that time the latter
had heard nothing further about the car.

COAL OPERATORS ASK
MINERS TO CONFERENCE
OgIe Challenges Lewis and
Charges Missfotements.

A. NJ. Ogle, president of the National
Coal Association. issued the following
statement yesterday in reply TO John L.
Lewis. head Ct the United Mine Work
ers
"Mr. Lewis asks that the public be
enlightened as to the facts. His own
statement is completely devoid of facts,
but passing over all his other misstate-
ments he IS particularly evasive when
he states that conferences with the
coal operators have been sought in vain
by the mine workers.
"The fact is that operators in every
union producing field affected by the
strike have repeatedly and insistently
urged that the miners officials meet
them in State or district conferences to
negotiate a settlement of the wage con-
tract. Mr.. Lewis. as the head of the
~. NJ. w. of A. has, however. arrogantly
refused.
conferences TO determine the wage
contract and bring about an end to the
strike in each district not now produc-
ing coal can be started tomorrow II
