Chicago, Ill.-Rum running along
the south Atlantic seaboard, has as
sumed such tremendous proportions
that the inhabitants of poverty strick-
en- little islands have become rich
overnight and the section has become
known as "bootleggers paradise" the
Chicago Daily News said today in a
copyrighted article describing condi-
tions along the Florida coast
In the city of Nashau alone, the
article said, official clearings of liquor
bound for the United States increas-
ed from 1881 gallons in 1917, to
1,34O,4 gallons in 1922. The writer,
accompanied by bootlegger named
"Terry" as guide, told of visiting the
rum fleets, talking with the rum run
ners, helping transport the liquor and
of distributing it in the United States.
Miami Is Soaking Wet"
Miami, first stop of the investiga-
tors was described as "a city where, if
you feel, the need of drink and don't
happen to have your own flask with you
all you need to do is wait in the shade
of a palm tree until resident comes
along, ask him where you can find a
bootlegger, and if he isn't one himself,
he will tell you where to go. You
can buy all the whiskey you want in
Miami at SIS a quart"
Havana and Nassau were described as
but two of the ports that were flooding
the United States with liquor, some of
it from American distilleries.
The Bahamas poverty stricken before
prohibition and with revenues from all
sources of less than half a million
dollars, realized $2,798,000 in 1922 in
duties from liquor shipped into the
United States, the article said, quoting
Nassau official who added that esti-
mating that the 1,340,443 gallons of
liquor cleared from the Bahamas for
the United States was diluted fifty per
cent, this would mean that over
100000 gallons Of liquor were placed
on the market in this country from
the Bahamas alone,
While prohibition officials are seiz-
ing sealed liquor brought into their
hands by legitimate ocean going yes
sells, the article said, there are but
two small cutters to guard the 1900
miles of Florida coast, fall made to
order for rum running"
One of the revenue cutters works
out of Key West, the other out of
Miami, the article stated. A bootleg
ger at Key West quoted by the writer
said the cutter at that point has made
no real captures for three years. Once
the revenue cutter and rum runner
were tied up nose to nose at Miami
said the article. The runner laden with
/ 40,000,cases of liquor for Miami.

The story of toe largest half-year
business in the history of the company
is being related to the directors of the
Nash Motors company at the quarterly
meeting of the board of directors,
which is being held at the offices of
the company here this afternoon. The
meeting promised to be the most in
teresting in the history of the organi-
cation with many of the leaders of the
directorate here to have part in the
deliberations. No advance statement
was given as to the semi-annual report
of the company which is to be pre-
sented during the meeting this after
noon, but there was a feeling of opti-
mism about the plant today which in
dicated that the result Of the first six
months business had been exceedingly
gratifying.
President Charles w. Nash presided
at the meeting this afternoon and was
"at home" during the morning to a
number of visiting members of the
board In the list of visitors were
Judge J. ]. Storrow of Boston; F. w.
Allen of New York; Emory w. Clark
Of Detroit, and Thomas NJ Kearney of
Racine. These united with the local
directors of the company in represent
ing very large majority of the stock
of the industry.
Discuss Dividends at Meeting.
81 do not like to talk out of business
hours" said President Nash this morn
ing, "but I am not violating any bust
ness ethics when l say that the first
six months of the year have found us
busy and that indications are in no
way discouraging. We shall Of course
declare the regular quarterly dividend
on the preferred stock at the meeting
this afternoon and l expect that we
will, discuss the possibility of a COM
mon stock dividend. Other than this
l cannot say anything until the report
of the business is formally presented
to the directors"
There was no announcement made
before the meeting Of any changes in
the policy of the company or of any
large extensions of the business by ex-
pansion of its existing plants. 1t was
expected that these matters would be
discussed informally during the after
noon.
The meeting of the directors of the
company today was in the way of a
homecoming. Judge Sorrows coming
to the Kenosha plant is always a mat
ter of interest. He was one of the
first men to join in the organization OF
the Nash Motors company and he had
much to do with the purchase of the
big plant of the Jeffery company. His
interest in the advance Of the company
has been a personal interest as we'll as
financial and he is one Of the best
known of the directors of the company
The interest which Judge Storrow has
shown in Kenosha on many occasions
has made him general favorite with
the leaders of the industrial life OF
the city.A Thomas M. Kearney of Ra-
cine is another Of the directors who
has had big part in the development
of the industry, he having been one OF
the large stockholders of the company
since its organization.

SYMMONDS OPENS
WAR ON MOON
Severe Penalties Will be
Used to Dam Illicit
Liquor Flood.
INVOKE FEDERAL AID
May Cloce Premises for One
Year under the MUS
ance Law.

District Attorney Frank S. symj
monds went on the war path against
moonshining activities in Kenosha
county. The soft drink" parlors
where repeated violations of the law
have been discovered are to be thrown
into the line of hottest fire.
The federal law providing for the
closing of property for year may be
workable through the circuit court in
Kenosha, Mr.. Symmonds believes.
Federal injunctions restraining furth-
er sale of liquor will be placed against
first offenders; contempt of court pro-
ceedings will be Immediately institut-
ed. The penalty provided for contempt
is fine of not less than $500 or more
than $1,000; Imprisonment from 80
days to one year or both.
Third Offenders to Penitentiary.
Third offenders, Mr.. Symmonds said,
will be given chance to contemplate
the advisability of continuing their
illicit liquor operations from within
the walls of the state penitentiary.
Civil proceedings may be institut-
ed to recover damages by persons
whose physical condition has been
impaired through drinking moonshine,
from the person who supplied them
with the liquor, the district attorney
said. A lucrative field is being over
looked in this respect by hundreds Of
persons, he added.
A brief of the law, under which
these severe penalties will be asked,
is now being drawn up by John
Kuehnl, assistant district attorney
AS soon as the law has thoroughly
been checked over, and the brief COM
pleted, cases will be sent into the
courts under it, the district attorney
said.
Bonds to be forfeited.
Bonds of men out on first offenses
will be forfeited as fast as they are
again tripped up in their moonshiu-
ing activities, Mr.. Symmonds indicat-
ed. In view of this, the bail bonds will
be made as heavy as possible, he an
nounced.
THE full power of the district at
torney's Office will be used in an eff
fort to stamp out moonshining ectiv-
tiles in Kenosha county," Mr.. Sym
monds said. ''The days when imposing
penalties were allowed without pro-
test from this office have past. These
minimum penalties have been viewed
by the lawless element of the county
as condoning of the law breaking.
"Moonshine is poison, and hun

of it. AS long as they can get it they
will drink it, and this Office is. goinf.
to throw all possible legal distractions

Citizens Asked for ''Tips."
''It is the duty of citizens to inform
the enforcement officials where viola

sons need have no fear of being call

which will be followed will be to OBJ
