Mass. Governor
Will Have Nothing
to Do with PinchOt

Boston, Dec. 12-Governor Cox an
nounced tonight that he will send
no Massachusetts, representative to
the conference called for tomorrow
in Harrisburg by Governor Pinchot
of Pennsylvania
Il am not going to attend that
conference, Governor Cox said NOR
am L going to send anyone to repre-
sent me at it. From it no benefit
can come to the citizens of Massa-
chuSetts.
when we get into the dead of
winter and during some especially
cold spell L am thinking of inviting
Governor Pinchot to come to Mas
sachusetts and discuss with he the
Pennsylvania coal tax which every
citizen OF our state must pay every
time he throws a shovelful of coal
into the furnace.
zone conference already has been
held. Nothing of consequence was
done. l see no advantage for Massa =
chusetts to participate in another
one. 1t does not seem to me there
Is any reasonable hope of relief in the
plan proposed Ex-Governor Pinchot.
Il feel strongly that IL is the duty
of Pennsylvania to show her good
faith by repeating unjust state taxa
ton laws and adopting whatever
measures are necessary before call
ing upon the coal-consuming states
to consider the Pinchot plan.
IF Pennsylvania does not do this,
then l believe the states affected
should ask aid of the federal gov
eminent. 1t would be foolish for us
to follow the futile leadership of
Governor Pinchot."

Lieberman attributed his long ca
reer of counterfeiting to drink. When
young in his profession he became
addicted to it, he said, and became
50 slow in his work that he could
not compete with his fellows. He
told the police lie turned to coun-
terfeiting .as the easiest way out.
Some of the notes said to have
been manufactured by him were all
most unbelievable in the opinion of
the agents. They said Lieberman
made not only his plates but his
tools and paper and that the front
side of his bills was perfect, a slight
blurring of the ink on the back dis
closing their true worth.
Lieberman is So years old but des-
pite his gray head ne gave battle
when cornered, leaping out one
story window only to be caught by
agents anticipating such an at
tempt.

Anton Lang explained simply.
Strangely enough, TINS man who Ill

Saviour, strikinSiy resembles the
conventional portraits of the NaZa-
rene. Hair and beard and nose are
as in the pictures; he Is tall, slender,

His eyes alight with the eager Gu

"A great symbol" he said, and

to Michael Angeles frescoes of ST.

and unaffected as his fellows, but
by far the most picturesque of the

The appearance Of Guido Mayr, the
Judas, beiied the popular conception
of how the Saviour's hetrayer should
look. Mild blue eyes with no Turk
ing guile or cunning smiled out
broadly above his red beard. His
short stout body, encased in rough
twecds. bespoke the honest work
man rather than the artist. Yet his
companions said he WAS one of the
best actors of their number.

impressionable prohibition agent to
pass him on the road for an limo
cent tourist.
SO 1t is with the bottle tishermaH's
vehicle. He pays $1,000 to 5000
for the kind of fast boat the mush-
room shipyards now are building.
He pays for extra good timber and
craftsmanship, but unlike the land
runner. he instalIs no luXuries that
will cut down cargo space. His boat
is without cabin. spray shield or
seats. He sits or sleeps on the motor
hood.
The motor is the thing to the rum
fleet visitor. Since the government
began putting fast chaserS into the
off-shore fleet, the rum smuggler
has turned to airplane engines.
The bottle fisherman nowadays
who can't drive through a rip tide
at 80 miles an hour is considered
out of date. When he fiShed for fish
instead of bottles he was contented
to plug along at six to nine miles an
hour beside q single cylinder. two

row or sail.
But the rum runners weapons are
constantly being turned against him,
and prohibition agents ashore be-
lieve the governments mosquito
fleet. which thus far has been out
dis,anced in many u chase. soon will
be on equal terms with the SNUG
glers.
For, according to Big Bill" Rue,
head of fifty county detectives work
ing in this section:
when the government captures
q fast runner. it puts n crew of fed
eral men aboard, spikes a couple of
machine guns on her bow. and
makes a rum chaser out of her. So
the bottle fishermen are being hunt
ed by their own fast ships. They can
make them as fast as they want to:
the governments bound to seize
some of them, through superiority
in numbers or just sheer luck.
when the bottle fishermen reach
the limit of speed in their water
craft. the ones the government cap
lures will soon put the mosquito
fleet on an even basis. Then rum
running will be less OF a run away.
and bottle fishing will acquire new
thrills"
