WOMEN BOOTLEGCERS ARE THE KEENEST,
 SAYS WOMAN MAYOR

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.--lt is the cunning woman bootlegger who mas made booze craft what it is, declares Miss Amy Kaukoon.
 Who is Amy Kaukonen? The word-to-mouth Who's Who of the bootlegging industry in Ohio lists her thus:
 Kaukonen Amy, "A, beautiful and elegant, physician, mayor and magls- trate of Fairport; elected year ago; cIeoned LID the town and filled up the workhouse with Volstead law Vlo- lators and raised Cain generally; give her a wide berth-shes bad medicine for bootleggers
 May Kaukonen is in New 4ork to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Finland's independence for one thing and to look into the booze sltu- ation here for another.
 "In all the raids I've directed m Fairport," she said in an inter- view, "and in all the cases I've tried I've found it hardest to get evidence against the woman bootlegger. The men are afraid of her.
 'Iow did I clean up Fairport? Easily. I got the detectives busy and scentenced lots of violators to the workhouse and fined others. Habitual bootleggers were driven out of town"
 eff you banished me I'd refuse to go," said one interviewer; but the observation didn't get much. She agreed that things were pretty had in the East and, when asked how she wo, ,uld stop illicit drinking in New York, Mayor Kaukonen answered:
 Well New York's a pretty DE city Still I think the same meth- ods we used lin Fairport would get results. I'd iget detectives that could trust oh the trail. But I sup pose in so tig a city as this the mayor hasn't( time to hear all the magistrates booze cases.
 "The othef day in Buffalo I saw what I had {not seen since prohibit tion becamej effective. Everyone in a cabaret in a downtown block was drinking openly from flasks."
 Mayor KaSukonen seemed surprised.
 "Go on," someone suggested.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-02

Well, that's all. Everyone was drinking-openly."
 "Oh!"
 Dr. kaukOnen was asked if she intended to call upon Mayor Hylan.
 'Tm afraid I'll be too busy" she said. She is going from here to Boston.
 The woman mayor, who is of Fin nish descent, said she would not be candidate for reelection. She in dicated she intended to stay in poli- tics, however.

old SPANISH TRAIL,
| T0BE GOOD ROAD
- the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March l0.-The
eld Spanish trail, a national highway
&Tom Jacksonville. Fla. to Los
Angeles. Calf, along the Gulf coast
md through the territory immedi-
Stely north of the Mexican border, is
destined to include several sections
OF road the equal of which Will not
be found in the United States, IL plans
Of good roads enthusiasts interested
fsl the project are carried out.
Secretary of War Weeks recently
bottled the New Orleans Association
Hf Commerce that the War Depart
Slent and the Department of Agri-
culture had reached an agreement
Whereby that section of the highway
= ON New Orleans through the Louis
sana marshes to the Mississippi coast
had been placed on first priority 8
federal aid project.
The War Department is deeply in
eerested in the highway from a mill
aary viewpoint.
1t is estimated that a road through
fhe marshes strong enough to with
ftand any gulf storm and to bear the
Teight of artillery would cost from
100000 to 100000 n mile. including
fhe necessary bridges. This would
make the cost of twenty miles to the
Sigolets. one of the outlets of Lake
Iontchartrain. approximately $4,000
goo. 1t would necessarily be of spe-
eal construction and so heavy as to
e"qulre minimum of repair.
Construction of the marsh road
would provide New Orleans with a
Highway to the north and east. The
hnly way of entering the city nov. if
motorists do not drive west to Baton
Stouge and from there to New Or
Y1ans. is to ferry across Lake Pont-
khartrain. a water journey requiring
et least two hours by the shortest
soute.
Construction of the Florida section
81 the Spanish trail is we'll under
pay. and that state. with federal,
ate and county funds. now is build
Sne a broad. heavy concrete highway
t"om Jacksonville to Pensacola. dis
fance of more than 375 miles The

u. S. AUTO ACCESSORIES

Big Manufacturer Considers Buy
ing American Parts-British
Imports Are Large.

Andre Citroen, one OF the largest
European manufacturers of passen-
ger cars, whose methods are gener-
ally considered a close approach 70
mass production, is said to be con-
sidering the advisability OF using
standard American parts in the pro-
duction of his car.
Sir Herbert Austin. considered one
of the prominent British automobile
manufa cturerS. in a recent address
estimated imports of American .mRGe
motor vehicles into Great Britain dur
ing 1922 at $4,000. compared with a
home production of 5000.
AS a means of improving the situ-
alton in the automobile industry III
Czechoslovakia a closer union of pro-
ducers and the Standardization of
products have been proposed at a meet
ing of the Industrial Club at Prague.
The general manager of the Amer
lean plant OF the British Rolls Royce
Company announced before il was
opened that the car produced in his
factory would be better car than
was ever built before. although lower
in price, due to more economical pro-
duction methods in the United States.

SEES 100000 TRUCKS.

Three million motor trucks operat-
ing on the highways OF the country
within the next five years is a dis
tinct possibility" according to Vance
Day, general sales manager of the
General Motor Truck Company of
Pontiac, Mich.
To-day there are approximately L.
100000 motor trucks in use. and there
are about 100000 merchants. manu-
facturers. contractors, farmers and
individuals doing daily business
which demands some class of haul
ing" Mr.. Day says,
rs it not reasonable to assume"
Mr.. Day continued, that q large per-
centage of these persons .are prospects
for motor trucks?
THE majority of the trucks now in
use have been sold. to the present
owners within the last five years, and
it is within this time that the motor
truck has gained real foothold in

BLOW TO MOTORISTS.
Marylanders Disappointed at Fail
ure Of tass-Tax Law.


spseisa Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. March 1o.-Maryland
motorists are probably as much dis
appointed as District motorists in the
failure Of Congress to pass the gaso-
line tax bill, which would have
brought reciprocity between Mary
land and the, District of Columbia as
far as automobile license tags were
One Of the most disappointed Of all
is John N. Mackall. chairman of the
state roads commission, the father of
the gasoline tax in Maryland, and who
was instrumental in having the Dis
trict Commissioners draw up the bill
which failed of passage. Mr.. Mackail
said he thought there was very little
likelihood of reciprocity being put
into effect now until January, 1925.
II hardly see where there is chance
for a new Congress to organize and
consider a bill before January /. 1924,
when 1t would have to be considered
in order to secure action from the
state on reciprocity next year." he
said. Certainly, II it is done. it will
be very unusual. There might be a
chance that tho organization will be
effected quickly, but ! doubt 1t.

 Year by year." he said, "experi- ence is demonstrating both to labor and management the fact that the hest time to settle an industrial dis pute Is before it has come to the point of an appeal to force. sus- pension of production in any indus try today means loss to both em ployer and worker, as well as to the public which the industry serves"

 "Probably no year in our nationa! history" the Secretary declared, "has been marked by greater strides to- wards prosperity. We have come far during the last year in those things which make for the Detterinent or the man and woman who work"
 Commenting on his trip to Europe, he said the American working men and women have much to be thank full for" since this nation today stands at the forefront of labor The hundreds of thousands of work CTS abroad who are jobless are glad to get meager employment he as serted, "and as l entered New York and viewed the Statue of Liberty, the meaning of America and it's institu- tions overwhelmed me and l had to go quietly to my stateroom and on pended knee give thanks that my father had foresight enough to emil grate to America"
 The Secretary described the death of President Harding as the one re- Rret. one sorrow, which We face on this Labor Day. Citing the late Presidents efforts in behalf of the eight-hour day, he declared: The spirit of President Harding will con tinue to fight for the cause of Amer ican labor, and the time is not far distant when no workman in the country will be forced to work more than eight hours day, six days week."

CALLED II CONFE ER
 TUESDAY BY JUDGE
Disposal Of Convicts At AL drich To Be Discussed
 With Referee

A meeting of the creditors of the Montevallo Mining company has been called for 10 o'clock Tuesday morn ing in the federal building. when consideration of the present status Of the company and matters pertaining to disposal of conyicts at Aldrich mines wflllba discussed, Judge Fs H. Dryer. referee in bankruptcy stated to The e-Herald Sunday night.
 David Roberts, Jr., trustee for the mining company, told The Age use for the conviets and that their services had proved impracticable. Reports recently filed showed there were no resources with which to continue the company in operation, though it is probable number of the convicts will be kept at the mines to carry on the necessary operations, even after the mine is closed.
 The state, through it's convict board, is said to be acting quickly in removal of the convicts from the mine, following an investigation of the situation by Judge J. J. May field, l.. A. Boyd, chairman of the state convict board. and Judge E. H. Dryer. when decision was made that immediate steps were necessary in the disposition of the 195 convicts now at the mine.
 The Montevallo Mining company went into bankruptcy several months ago and the state was asked to re- lieye the company of the heavy ex- pense of operating with convicts. The number of men was reduced. Con- siderable surprise was evidenced when the convict board was informed that owing to the lack of resources the mine would be shut down and asked that the convicts be removed at once.
