LIQUOR RUNNERS
STEAL AUTOS To
HANDLE 'H00TCH'
Coast Revenue Men Believe Same
Gang Ships Booze from West
Indies and Mexico; viii
Use Boats In Drive.
(By The United prcss.)

Dallas. Texas, March 15.-Officials
today centered their attention in an
effort to determine whether there
was any connection between the
liquor rings which are alleged to be
smuggling liquor into Texas from
the West indies and those operating
across the Mexican border.
Following the announcement of
federal authorities that they expect
to make arrests in connection with
the smuggling Of thousands Of gal
Ions of liquor from the West Indies,
it was declared that submarine
chasers will be ordered into the
gulf.
In the meantime liquor running
from the border towns continues and
much the same methods are used in
each instance. authorities declare.
The West Indies liquor is alleged
to be taken to Gulf coast ports on
tramp steams and transported into
the interior in high-powered auto
mobiles.
The border liquor is transported
in the same manner: Thousands of
automobiles have been stolen and
latter found abandoned with signs
of hard usage apparent Federal Of
ficers allege that gangs of automo-
bile thieves work in conjunction with
the liquor runners. The cars are
stolen, usually in pairs, taken to the
border point where arrangements
have been made to receive the liquor
loaded and rushed back in the dead
Of the night to the point of deliv
cry. The cars are then taken to
some lonely spot, some times strip
ped, but more often left untouched
When the operation is to be repeat
ed new cars are stolen as one trip
by the liquor runners practically
junks car
AS a rule the liquor obtained from
the border points is inferior to that
smuggled through the gulf ports
prohibition agents say. For months
federal officers have known that
foreign, high-class liquor was reach
ing the Texas oil towns. The Liquor
has been traced to Cuba, the Ba
hama islands and other West Indiar
ports. With the aid of submarine
chasers, federal agents hope to elm
nate the coast liquor running en-
tirely.

IN GRADY DRIVE
ON BOGUS CHECK
Operators Find It Tough Shedding
as Merchants Declare War; OFF,

tons Recorded.

Those who are habitual wielders
Of wicked pen in the manufacture
of checks which later come back to

shedding in Chickasha is getting
pretty tough. In fact the going has
been SO rough that IA charged with
bogus check work have been put
where they will have time and op.
portunity to reflect for a period OF
months or days.
The Chickasha merchants, COOP
Grating with the county and city or
ficers, some months ago started a
campaign on the writer's OF bogus
checks. 1t is pointed out by local
merchants that the situation was
getting to a point where every bust
ness house in town was assembling
batch of checks of assorted colors,
but which were all perfectly "hot. >
The result is that now, when a
merchant gets hot check, he inn
mediately turns it over to an, attor
ney and the writer in most cases
feels the strong arm of the law en-.
cfrcling him and begins to have men
tai pictures of a prison gate swing
ing wide for him.

convictions: Dan Kelley, forgery
