 Washington, April 9.-Connecticut escaped very lightly from the activi- ties of federal prohibition agents in the last three months of 1922.
 One hundred and thirty-two arrests were made by the federal enforce ment authorities; 28 illicit distilleries and 31 stills were seized; s43 gallons of spirits and of malt liquor was the total alcoholic beverages netted by their raids; only two automobiles were confiscated. and the total value of all property seized was only $4,314.
 None of the distilleries and stills seized were destroyed, according to the reports, nor was any of the liquor poured out on the ground. The total amount of the seized property which was destroyed is valued at S361.
 As compared with the figures for the whole country, Connecticut seems to be remarkably free from liquor violators-or Connecticut liquor law violators are remarkably free from the interference of the federal author ities Complete statistics of federal arrests and seizures in the last half of 1922 in all the 4S states and eighteen divisional areas just compiled by the prohibition commissioners office here show, for the entire United States, an increase in arrests from 25,77s in the first half of last year to 34,253 in the last six months. The number of H. licit distilleries seized and destroyed rose from 3,S3S to 4,7S1; the number seized and not destroyed decreased from 1,21S to 530 Stills seized and destroyed increased from 3,503 to 4,-

 Most Serious Sabotage Case.
 This is the most serious case of sabotage reported on the Ruhr water ways. The lock that was destroyed is near the junction. of. the Dortmund- Ems canal with the main canal that runs down the Rhine at Duisburg and Ruhrort. where the largest inland port of the world is located.
 Planned to Drain Canal
 The intention of the dynamiters apparently was not only to block the canal but to drain the water from the main Rhine Herne canal. which is the main waterway artery of the Ruhr. The French say this main canal has not been interfered with. as the locks on both sides of the one which was dynamited were closed immedi. ately after the explosion to proven; the draining of the main canal.

TO HAVE AUTO PARK
NEAR THE POSTOFFICE

City council likely will make ar
rangements at an early date to es-
tablish downtown auto park in the
vacant lots on San Francisco street
between the postoffice and the Ma
sonic temple. The proposition was
brought up at the council meeting on
Monday night and was referred to the
street and alley committee for early
action.
The plan includes grading the lots,
giving three points OF entrance and
exit. Then no car registered in this
county will be permitted to park in
the street down town for more than
20 minutes. The business men who
ordinarily park their cars outside
their places of business have been seen
by City Marshal R. L. Neill and are
agreeable to the plan. Tourists and
other drivers from outside the county
will be permitted to park in the street
except perhaps in certain areas. The
idea is to relieve street congestion,
but not to inconvenience visitors.

POWERS AND QUAY TO
CONFER WITH SANTAFE
ON WATER PROGRAM

M. I. Powers and S. F. Quay, the
latter a member of city council, left
together Tuesday morning in Mr..
Powers car for Los Angeles, where
they will confer with Engineer Dav-
export, authorized representative of
the Santa Fe railroad company, on
the proposed Flagstaff water develop
ment program.
In this conference the railroad COM
pany will be given the opportunity,
providing terms suitable both to the
company and the city can be agreed
upon, to help finance the proposed wa
ter development. The company is not
being importuned to participate in the
proposition, because the city council
will go ahead and call a bond election
for the development whether the rail-
road company takes a share in it or
not. But because the company is a
satisfactory partner with the city in
the present system and is one of the
largest consumers of water, it is felt
that it may work out more satisfac-
torily to all concerned if it comes in
as a partner in the further develop
ment proposed.
Messrs. Powers and Quay are ex-
pected home some time next week
when council and through council the
taxpayers generally will be advised
of the results of the conference.

WATKINS OPENS LAKE
MARY CAMP AGAIN

Stanley E. Watkins, who made peo-

camp last season, announces elsewhere
in this weeks Sun that the camp is
now open Sundays and OH May 1 will
be open every day. Furnished cot
tages and tents, horses, things for
fishermen, hunters and autoists, groc-
cries, good southern cooking, with
plenty of succulent chicken-these are
only few of the conveniences "Stan"
offers the casual visitor or the bunch
who come to spend one or more weeks
under the pines on the shores Of the
lake which this year has more water
than before in years. Lake Mary
camp became something of an insti-
tuition last year under the manage
ment of this enterprising, happy-na-
tured young former army officer, who
tries to combine with his native Vir-
ginia courtesy a little New England
shrewdness which he was not born to
but says if he keeps on trying long
enough he viii acquire, in moderation,
he hopes.
