NEW YORK, March 24-Back to civilization after five years in the African wllds, and eagerly seeking a little "life," three young men today coldly turned down suggestions that they view two of the things Broad way is most famous for-"girlie shows" and .jeweled women.''
 How about the Follies?" it was suggested to them when they asked where they could see good chow. Nothing doing" they cried in uni son. We have seen nothing but naked women for the past five years. What we want to see is woman with some clothes on.'
 Then somebody suggested the Metropolitan Opera. where richly clad women. with fortunes in dia- monds might be seen.
 Diamonds" they exclaimed. i've never want to see another one of the darned things"

COAST RUM RUNNERS CLAIM DRY FLEET IS FINISHING IN TW0-H0LE
But "War" Still on Between Bad Pirates and PrOhi-
 bitiOn Fleet

BOSTON, March s4.-War is on along the whole New England coast, a war with rum runners fighting against not only government. but the bad pirates who dare to board the liquor laden ships and carry away the valuable cargoes.
 And the rum runners claim to be winning, backing their claims with Scotch that is selling cheaper now than it has been since the first few weeks of prohibition. Down from Miquelin and St. Pierre are more than twoscore rum laden ships on their way to some place outside the three mile limit of an American port. Off Block Island at least three rum run ners are stalling up and down the three-mile limit.
 While they wait, three swift gov ernment cutters are on their way to the position of vantage occupied by the runners. It seems that while the gover ament was concentrating it's at tack against the well organized smugglers off the cost of New Jersey. the foxy liquor carrying ships moved northward and now are ready to race into the New England portsA with their choice liquors.
 So easy has the run from Canadian ports become that local bootleggers are offering real Scotch at $50 case and, further, they are guarante ein g deliveries. It is evident that plenty of the stuff is getting in, too. Three runners. standing off the coast of Narraganset bay dared not attempt to make the run. They had evidently been warned of precautions taken against them by prohibition of ficers. Several fishermen reported that the runners still held their po- sitions.
 Several high powered motorboats left their moorings in the Provi- dence river, and they immediately drew upsn themselves a squad of watchers.
 Prohibition agents from New York and Boston continued to flock into Providence and were routed to other points along Narraganset bay.

HIGHEST KICKER INl WORLD COMES TO AID OF HOUSE OF DAVID
Dancer Denies Charges Made Against Ruler of Relig-
 ious Colony

CHICAGO, H., March 24. The highest kicker in the world" has come to the defense of the House of David.
 It was hardly to De expected that King David Purnell and his bearded brotherhood, about whom most everything possible that isn't nice has been said at the trial of the Hansel damage suit in Grand Rapids, would find fighting champ among the beauties of the stage, but Ade- laide Bell, former premier danseuse kicked roofs off moro roof gardens than any other dancer at large, wants to assure an minded world that all these things they're saying about the Benton Harbor re- lgious cult are bunk.
 Adelaide has wired King" Benjie vote of confidence and promise to come and say this in court If she can be of any help.
 Her revelations of the inside work ings of the House of David and slde- lights of the characters of It's mem- bers passed along in an interview Saturday are perhaps the first un- prejudiced account of the cults ac- tivities and beliefs since it suddenly ,eaped into national notoriety through the sensational trial at Grand Rapids.
 "They are, without exception" she declared, the most wonderful people 1 have ever met"
 The agile dancer spent couple or weeks in the colony once on the invi- tation of the House of David, well known act on vaudeville circuits, and claims she is considering acceptance of an invitation from Queen Mary Purnell to join the cult permanently. Her association with the bearded mu- sicians and other cultists led her to scout the charge advanced by ene- mics of the house that they were mere dupes of great and unprinci- pied profligate-Benja njamin.
 They are not only highly intell- gent" says Adelaide, but they have a very advanced type of religion, based on freedom of conscience and will and on the suppression of re7
