Says.

! Governmental regulation OF the
coal industry is seen by Senator David
l. Walsh OF Massachusetts,. democrat.
as the remedy for the situation In
which the people found themselves
last winter. Senator Walsh express
ed the opinion. however. that the re-
publican leadership in Congress
would be opposed to interfering with
business. and that little will be ac-
oomplished in the way of regulatory
legislation at the next session.
Senator Walsh said that he would
seek to get through a law to prevent
the recurrence of such suffering as
that experienced by people living in
New England last winter because of
lack of coal
He pointed out that Congress
would not convene until next Decem-
possible to tell with some accuracy
whether the country would get its
necessary supply of coal.
Should there be another strike and
conditions similar to those of last
year, Senator Walsh said he believed
that then there would he an insistant
drive on the part of members OF
Congress from many parts of the
country for Legislation which would
make it possible to control the situa-
ton in the interests of the people.
New England. Senator Walsh said,
is strongly aroused over the failure
OF the government TO take action last
fall and winter to insure an adequate
supply of coal.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Piled
high on the decks of IA steamers
schooners and sloops, twelve miles
off Ambrose Lightship today, are
100000 cases of rare Scotch liqour
rye, champagne, brandy, cognac and
fine liqours, brought from the West
Indies and Europe to be smuggled
into the United States.
1t is 80 miles from Broadway
via water to The nearest booze ship
but the fleet motor boats of the
big International smuggling com.
bines cover it in less than two
hours.
The speed boats and less pretcn-
tious craft of New Jersey and Long
!. Island fisherman are running liqour
into the L. S. at the rate OF 5000
cases day. Nearly 80 boats are
engaged in the business.
Worth Six Million
= The stock of liqour now on the
booze ships is worth $6,300,000 at
ship side prices and SflG,3G0,000 to
the bootleggers on land. This stock
should be cleaned up III three weeks
Fand then there will be others to
take its place.
The inner workings and complete
details of his gigantic new business
were ascertained by personal obser-
walton and information during q

coast guard cutter Manhattan in
pursuit of run runners off New
York.
The figures are based on aver
ages calculated by experts over a
long period of time. The booze
capacity of each boat is known. The
date of its arrival with a full load
is recorded. The day of its depart
ure, empty, is kept also. From these
it is accurately estimated how fast
the rum vessels dispose of their
wares.
Officials ON Alert
Officials of the coast guard keep
daily chart of the position of each
vessel and are excrting every effort
to wipe out the business. With
armed boats, manned by efficient
officers and a trained crew, they
have succeeded in stopping I ma jor
operations of the rum runners in
daylight. But it would take the
entire navy of the country to pre-
vent smuggling at night. They have
chased the liqour ship out to the
l2 mile limit. But they can go no
further. Every American schoon-
er, motorbOat or sloop seen in the
vicinity is searched, but nothing can
be done, except to go on board YES

HARDING STEPS
INTO PECULIAR
DENVER CRISIS
"Dry" Speech Given in
Midst of Liquor
Scandal
Today's Speech Most
Important On All
Tour
By Lawrence Martin,
U. S. Staff Correspondent.

WITH PRESIDENT HARDING,
DENVER, Colo, June 25.-Presi-
dent Harding stepped into another
Of the "delicatc situations - here
today that have marked his entire
speech making tour to date.
He found that Denver, selected
for his speech on ''Prohibition en-
forcement y and law enforcement
generally, was still watching devel-
opments in prohibition enforce
ment scandal that caused fed
cral grand jury investigation and
Indictment of some Of fthe former
prohibition enforcement'offic He
found city with the lid on, un-
der the regime of new municipal
administration. Altogether he could
not have selected more timely Or
interesting topic FOR his speech here
than prohibition enforcement, the
= President found even though he
ran the risk of stepping on some
toes.
Mr.. Harding regards today s
speech as probably the most impor-
tdHt HlicIdnct Oil, holitSllc lildtttFS
he will make. He is determined
TO leave no doubt in the minds OF
the country as to his stand on en-.
fyrcement OF the Nolstead law.
Wants Wide Publicity
lie also wants ''wet' democrats,
like Governor Al Smith of New
York, to be under no misapprehen-
sion as to the position of this ad-
ministration and of the republican
party, nationally, on the prohibition
problem. SO interested was Mr.
Harding in getting wide publicity
for his speech today that he per-
sonally made special and unusual
arrangements to permit its publica
ton in the east this afternoon.
4 merry political row was rag
ging around the president today
but it did not touch him. Local
arrangements for his speech were
in charge of a democrat. AS result
most of the tickets for reserved
seats at today's meeting went to
Influential local democrats. Repub-
licans like Pat Sullivan, national
committeeman from Wyoming, who
came to town expecting to be in
vited to attend the meeting, were
unable to get tickets.
Following his speech here at noon
the president will leave for Cheyen-
ne, Wyoming, where he will speak
ats p. m, leaving Immediately after
for Salt Lake City.
Goes to Church
He spent Sunday quietly attending
church and later making brief
speech to patients at the army hos
pital.
Mrs. Harding gave to each world
war veteran in the hospital flow
er. She and Mr.. Harding shook
hands with many of the disabled
men, paying particular attention to
those who were unable to hear the
president s short speech.
Mr.. Harding plans to speak in
Cheyenne this afternoon on the coal
situation in the U. S. In his address
he will express the hope and belief
that mining. and distribution of coal
will be done in the future more
effectively and with less disturb
ances to the public than in the past.
From Cheyenne the presidential
party will go by train to Ogden and
from there will motor into Salt Lake
CITY.

PRESIDENT SAYS
V0LSTEAD ACT Is
HERE FOR KEEPS
Denver Speech Bitterly
Arraigns Action of
New York
Says Minority Keeps
Booze Question in
Politics
BY Lawrence Martin,

United Press staff Correspondent.
DENVER, Colo. June c5.-Those
political forces that are seeking TO
make capital out of moves to repeal
or weaken the prohibition laws are
perpetrating lone of the historic
blunders in political management,
President Harding declared in his
address here today.
Appealing to the ''broadest and
best sentiments of law-abidng Am
orleans everywhere, the president
predicted that the prohibition
amendment to the federal .eonsti-
tuition, will never be repealed.
Mr.. Harding foreshadowetl con
templated changes in the Nolstcad
act, however.
The president spoke on the ques-
tiOn of claw enforcement and
made one of the most remarkable
addresses of his tour so far. He
came ont flat footedlv in calling on
the country to observe the prohibi-
ton laws to the letter.
Condemns N. Y. Action
President Harding struc.i out with
full force in taking to task the
state of New York for repeating
its prohibition enforcement law. Mr..
Harding did not mention New York
n (,nUpphnr Smith h,y he
left no doubht that he was referring
to passage of the Mullin- Gage re-
pealer and its signature by Al Smith.
There could be no more com
pletc negation of state rights" he
declared.
Speaking of "this policy of null
LITIGATION, as he called it, the
president said:
"The country and the nation will
not permit the law of the land to
be made byword,' declared the
president.
The issue is fast coming to be
recognized, not as an issue between
vets and drys, not question be-
tween those who believe in prohibi.
ton and those who do not; not a
contentio nbetween those who want
drink and those who do MT; it
is fast cming raised above all that.
to recognition as an issue of wheth-
er the laws of this country can be
and will be enforced.
No Repeal in Sight
"The prohibition amendment to
the constitution is the basic law OF
the land. The Volstead act has
been passed giving code of en-
forcement. | am convinced that
they are a small and greatly mis-
taken minority who believe the
eighteenth amendment will ever be
repealed. Details Of enforcement
policy doubtless will be changed as
experience dictates. Further, | am
convinced that whatever changes
may be made will represent the sim
cere purpose of effective enforce
ment, rather than moderation of
the general policy. 1t will be the
part of wisdom to recognize the
facts as they stand.

loose thinking, that some people
