SAVANNAH Is POINT WHERE WORK STARTS
During Grand Jury Investiga- ton In Georgia City Impor-
 tant Clues Were Found Which Lead East And West
NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA AND CHARLESTON NAMED
Tinted That Evidence Has Led To Most Gigantic Com
 bination Known, Legal Or lIIegaI,' In Liquor Ring

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-As a con- sequence of the liquor raids and re- sulting grand jury investigation at Savannah, Ga. in which indictments have been returned against 126 de- fendants in different sections of the country, an official spokesman de- clared tonight that the government is prepared to comb the entire east ern seaboard. and confidently ex- poets the gathering in "of those who have financed one of the most gi- gantic combinations known, either legally or illegally"
 The Savannah indictments were de- scribed as "only the beginninE' Others are to follow, it was said, as fast as information obtained at Sa- vannah can be made effective in other parts of the country as far west & Pittsburg. During the grand jury in vestigation at Savannah, it was said federal agents were supplied with in formation gleaned from witnesses and were set at work at once in follow ing new clues. Some of these, it was said, have provided the department Of justice with evidence of new com bina- tions and conspiracies and under ground connections with the alleged ring developed in the Savannah in Quiry.
 Clues Lead over Wide Area.
 Clues developed at Savannah have led mainly to New York, Philadelphia, the Chesapeake Bay and Charleston But between these points and into the interior as far as Pittsburg. the chain of evidence has been found to be unbroken and the operatives who have been delying into thu con spiracies feel that they soon cln un- cover ~some widely known pisrsons who hitherto have been able to keep in the background"
 The department declined to hint at the identity of any of the persons in- dicted at Savannah, but the statement was made that those indictments could be considered as important from the standpoint of those about whom the government agents are striving to tighten their nets.
 Officials explained that the evil dence involving rum runners and smugglers involved some foreigners, resident in the United States These largely were English and Canadians. it was added, but the testimony ob- tained at Savannah provided the gov ernment with definite facts as to methods employed by all rum-runners in getting the contraband ashore. In this respect, it was stated. the infor- nation has been highly important to tho plOHlOiliOi enforcement corps.

GERMAN FOOD PRICES MAY BRING RIOTS
Eggs Are Selling For The Equiva-
 lent Of 10 Cents Each

BERLIN, Nov. 21.--Food riots again are menacing Berlin. Here are some of the reasons:
 Eggs are practically unobtainable When they can be found, they sell for the equivalent of 10 American cents each
 The price of apples ranges be- tween 70 and so cents a pound.
 Meat continues to bring about s1 8 pound for the ordinary cuts, but dealers say they will advance this price Thursday.
 Lard, potatoes and butter are so scarce that it sometimes requires a search of several hours to find them Then they are priced luxuriously.
 The size of the food credits which Chancellor Stresemann hopes to ne- gotiate abroad have dwindled now to $50,o00o00. At present prices, that would only mean less than one pound of meat for each person in Germany.

Clips Two Minutes From Previous Mt. Washington
 Mark.

Gorham, N. H.. Sept. 1.-Improved weather conditions enabled Ralph k Mulford, famous automobile race track driver to better by two min utes his world record of 19 minutes for the climb of the carriage road up Mt. Washington, which he established yesterday. No clouds of fog ham pered him today, and he made the eight-mle ascent up the narrow twisting road in 17 minutes flat
 He drove a five passenger stock car with standard equipment. Most of the way to the half-way house he kept the machine in high gear, but beyond that ran it in second. At no time was he forced to shift into first.
 Hundreds of persons. attracted by the news of his success yesterday, watched the feat. At least 100 were gathered at the summit for the finish, while much larger crowds cheered on the driver at the half-way house and the old toll house at the beginning of the ascent. The clear air a~orded them thrills in plenty as the car roared up 2S-degree incline or swept around sharp curve with D. 500 feet of nothingness but a few feet to the side.

23S NILES AN HOUR
 IS NEW PLANE MARK
Lieut.. SanderSon Creates World
 Record at MineOla

New York, Sept. 11.-Flying over a
 straightaway course at Mineola Field
 yesterday, Lieut.. l.. H. Sanderson, a
 Marine Corps aviator. made new
 worlds record by attaining an aver
 age speed in number of flights of
 2SS miles an hour. This Rurpasses the former record of Sadi Lecointe,
 made in a Nieuport at Marseilles, | France, of 233.01 miles; beats Lieut.. | Russel l.. Maughan's fastest perform
 ance of 2365S miles made last March, and gives America the speed supre- macy of the air.
 The Navy Wright fighter in which the record was made, will be entered by the Navy in the international air races next month and will fly in the Pulitzer race at St. Louis. The record flight in fact was builders trial and was timed in the usual manner, with the average time of several flights computed to offset the advantage and resistance offered by the wind. Whether the record will be accepted as official remains to be seen.
 The new machine is the outgrowth of an experiment last year in the Pulitzer race with newly designed
 'T' engine. At that time it developed $50 horsepower, but was improved later to the point where it developed 700 horsepower.
 Lieut.. Maughan, winner of the 1922 Pulitzer trophy race at Detroit, was credited with speed of PAS miles at Selfridge field, but these figures were not accepted officially. The rec ord flight of Sadi Lecointe, which was surpassed three months later by Lieut.. | Vaughan, was made to better the mark of PA miles an hour by Brig Gen. William Mitchell in an army ] Curtiss biplane. America holds both | duration and speed records, the most | in aviation and France, be- | coming alarmed at the progress of | aeronautics in this country. only a few months ago offered prize of 50.- GOO francs to any aircraft designer l who could produce planes to bring both records back to France.
 The Wright fighter is designed pri- for heavy bombing and tor pedo plane work in the navy. being capable of carrying two thousand pound bombs to great attitudes, but It is able to compete in speed with he fastest craft in the air. The ma shine has no freak features and is of ] standard type designed under navy specifications.
