designated John ]. Boobar, Odell s.
Smith and Earl Goodwin a committee
to obtain from Congress an appropri-
alton of $1,000 to enable the police
department to keep the crosswalks
for pedestrians marked. The council
does not hope, however. to get the
appropriation before the beginning
Of the fiscal year in July. and the Of
fer of Mr.. Hammond will make 1t
possible to maintain this agency for
safety during the intervening six
months.
Council Meets Tuesday.
The safety council will meet at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the
rooms of the hamber Of Commerce.
Speaking of Mr.. Hammond's donation,
Mr.. Ham said:
'The safety council hopes that ap-
propriations can be made by Congress
for the hscal year beginning July I.
1873, to continue this work, as 1t is
manifestly something that should be
done at public and not at private ex-
pense.
'"The safety council cannot fully eX-
press its appreciation, Of the public
spirited liberality of Mr.. Hammond
in making this contribution. In the
Judgment Of experts there is nothing
more, essential for the prevention OF
accidents than the proper. painting
Of traffic lines on pavements."

NEW YORK, December 3O.-With

up at the Battery with engines dis
abled, the Narrows was left ungliard-
ed tonight long enough for fifteen
rum runners to slip into port with
nearly seven million dollars worth of
liquor for New Year. the police depart

The fifteen little vessels are be-

aboard at least $4,000 cases of liquor.
They represent only a part OF the

awaiting opportunity to rhn the gantlet
into the city.
Federal Prohibition Zone Chief Ap-
pleby was amazed when he learned
that the Hansen. flagship Of his "dry
fleet" was tied up at her pier.
II thought she was out patrolling
the Narrows," he explained.
SASeSCAAV0B OIuCX 1kSCCAVGVs
Appleby Immediately got in touch
with Capt. John H. Dysart, command
er of the Hansen. 1t developed that
a mysterious order had been received
on the Hansen to have her engines
repaired, but the authority for the
order could not be learned. The rum
chaser then went to her dock and her
engines were taken down.
All this followed discovery in the
crews quarters on the Hansen today
of twenty cases of liquor. alleged to
have been part of a cargo of seventy
cases seized on the schooner Linnie
Bell several days ago.
When Appleby told Capt. Dysart
that since the Hansen had docked
under her own power. she should put
to sea at once to watch the liquor
smNkgling craft, he was informed the
engine was dismantled. Besides, said
Capt. Dysart the removal of members
of his crew in connection with the
twenty cases had left him too short
handed to start on patrol.
With the Hansen out Of the way,
Appleby tonight endeavored to press
every available small boat into serv-
ice to head OFF the blockade runners.
He said the Narrows were guarded by
police patrols. and the coast guards
men also were vigilant.
Piers Sharply Watched.
Piers in the North and East rivers
and along the Brooklyn and Staten
Island water fronts were under sharp
watch Of customs men. he said, and,
while the dry navy's smaller craft
would not be able to compete with
the smugglers in the outer bay, they
would be able to give a lively chase
in the harbor.
Appleby said he did not believe
there were now more than two or
three large liquor vessels off the
three-mile limit within striking dis
tance. There had been ten or fifteen
reported between Cape May, n. J..
and Boston before the storm, but he
vas satisfied. he said. that some, of
these craft had gone to the bottom
of the sea.

Strong support of the Curry amend

censes between the District and Mary
land will be found in the Senate ap-

Senator McNary of Oregon, chair
man of the subcommittee, declared
himself in favor of the amendment
proposed by Representative Curry.
Mr.. Curry's suggestion is that none
of the money appropriated by the

of good roads in the states should
be available for use in any state
which does not recognize licenses for
motor vehicles granted by any other
state or the District of Columbia.

posal," said Senator McNary. "I be-
