CITY WATER SHOULD BE FULL!
Hootch AirsIhip Wrecked Near In
take of New Works Water.

New York. May 16.-The wrecking
of a whisky-laden airplane near Gro
ton-on-Hudson, where New York
City's drinking water comes from,
caused prohibition authorities today
to consider steps to prevent this form
of smuggling from Canada.
The plane was double scatter. and
the passenger cockpit had been filled
with bottled goods packed in gunny
sacks. A clew as to the origin of the
cargo was a copy of a Montreal news
paper. One wing struck as the ma
chine came to earth and in an instant
the machine was a wreck.
Mr.. Mccall ran toward the airplane,
expecting to discover some one dead,
but found instead an irate and limp
ing man who hurried toward anrauto-
mobile which apparently had been
waiting for him. He climbed in and
was whirled away. One hundred
quart bottles were broken IN the crash
and fifty were intact.
