hour, answering Mr.. Hancock with

so-called Henry Ford Muscle Shoals

ed, as staed by AR Smithwick of Mr..
HancocR's campaign manager He

more hearty applause then when he
began. Mr.. Hancocko used only seven
minutes of the thirty he had at his
disposal, using this Rrgely in defense
of his campaign manager.
When he closed he was given much

Arrest of Sailor on Streets Leads

ing yesterday afternoon. With this as
a clue, the prohibition agents, depart

later searched the Italian steamship
Fiume, at the Tarragonna street docks
and discovered 40 quarts Of choice
liquors.
Biajino, with the handbag in his
possession, accompanied by another
Italian sailor, was walking west on
Government street when the officer
grew suspicious. He Immediately or
dered Biajino to stop, and because OF
the fact that the foreigner could not
speak English a lively argument en-
sued. Finally, however, he was given
to understand that he had to comply.
The bag was opened and snugly
wrapped in old papers, reposed ten
bottles Of real likker'--"Old Scotch, I"
labelled as having been aged for u
years. A crowd 'congregated around
and there was many a longing look
and much smaclSing of lips, but with
no avail
Deputy Collector Of Customs, Curry
was able to understand Biajinos talk
enough TO learn that the booze was
from the Fiume and Immediately a
party went down and boarded the
steamer. .......
The wet goods had not been men
toned on the ships manifest. and, Of
course, it was subject to seizure. The
search which lasted more than an hour
yielded 40 more quarts.
